Chapter 2 - Too Many Decisions

"Tell me what you know, Eren."

It was a long moment of silence between us two, as if he was trying to figure out the right words to say.

"Look, this isn't really the easiest thing to explain-"

"Eren." I looked into his eyes with a glare; which wasn't supposed to happen, it just did; and I spoke softly.

"I don't care about what petty excuses that you're trying to give me. I just need the information."

He sighed. "Fine. No more excuses."

It took Eren about two minutes to gather what he wanted to say.

"Let's just say, some mistake happened about two years ago dealing with another guy, and you gotten so upset to the point where you wanted to erase all of the memories with that guy, so you just torn him out all of the group photos."

I gave him a weird look.

"Who is he?"

Eren shook his head quickly after that. "I'm not telling you."

"Then what's the fucking point of you sitting here talking to me when you're not going to give me the information that I need?" I yelled to him.

"I just came by to check on you since I knew that you just got out the hospital. Is that a damn problem?" Eren stood up and looked down at me, trying his best to contain his anger.

"Yeah, it is. If you're not going to help me regain my memories, you can just leave." I also stood up and looked him in his teal-green eyes. "Come back to me whenever you decide to actually help." We stood like that for which seemed like ages, but he finally broke eye contact and left.

I sighed in frustration, trying to calm myself down. I shouldn't be getting so worked up about this anyway. I turned around to see my mother looking at me.

"Don't ask any questions." She slowly nodded her head, and I sat back on the couch while letting out a sigh of frustration. "Oh yeah, (Y/N), here." I looked up, and caught the object that was thrown to me.

"It's your phone. I forgot to give it to you earlier." I looked at her confused. "And you decided to throw it?! What if I didn't catch it?" My mom shrugged her shoulders. "Well, uh, thanks." She went back into the kitchen after that.

I started to go through my phone, until I heard a knock at the door. "I swear to god, if it's Eren, I'm gonna punch him in his face." I got up and made my way to the door. The person who was waiting decided to knock on - well - more like pound on the door this time.

Can they just calm the hell down and wait like a normal person?

No wait, can they wait like a person who has some respect for others?

I opened the door to see a girl with raven like hair and black eyes.

"Wait. Are you Mikasa?" She nodded her head, then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the doorway. I quickly closed the door behind me. "Where the hell are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there, just relax." I raised an eyebrow at her. "How can I relax when you just randomly pulled me out of my house?" She looked at me. "That'll teach you to not open the door when you don't know who it is. Now stay quiet, I don't need to hear you talking at the moment."

Is this even the same girl that wrote that thoughtful note to me?

Wait.

When did that even get written anyway?

"You're the one that decided to come to my house and kidnap me, but I have to keep quiet?" I laughed a bit. "It's not going to work like that."

Then out of nowhere, she pulled out a knife from her pocket and held it to my throat. "It will work like that if you want to keep on living. You'll just die memoryless if you keep trying to talk back." Mikasa spoke in a low tone, but I was still able to hear it. I stared at her. "How did you know that I had amnesia?" She put the knife away. "Don't worry about that. We just need to get going."

The raven-haired girl finally let go of my wrist, which now had a mark from how tight she was holding it, and started walking once more. Hesitantly, I followed behind her, but not too close just in case if she wanted to pull another deadly stunt again.

Eventually, we ended up at her house, which was about nine blocks down from mine, so it would take a while getting back.

"Come on. I need to talk to you about some things." She walked up the steps, unlocked the door, and went inside.

It would've made sense to just stay back at my place, but I quickly went inside. As soon as I closed the door, it started pouring rain. "Luckily I wasn't still standing out there." I whispered to myself as I looked out her window.

"(Y/N), come upstairs!" Mikasa called for me, and I slowly made my way up the flight of stairs to her room.

"So, what were you going to te-" I stopped mid sentence because of the person that I saw in the room with Mikasa.

"Why the hell is he here?" I asked her angrily while pointing at Eren. He crossed his arms over his chest. "I came over here after you told me to leave. You don't need to be here." I glared at him. "I didn't want to be here anyway. Little Miss Kidnapper over here wanted to take me out of my home to bring me here so that we could speak to each other. Now start talking. I don't have all day."

She rolled her eyes, but started to speak anyway.

"I have the information that you're looking for. About that guy that was in those photos that you ripped."

My eyes grew wide.

"Well don't hold back, just tell me!"

She looked at Eren, then looked back at me.

"You think I'm going to give it up that easily? We're not best friends, you know." I stared at her, confused. "What do you mean, 'we're not friends'?"

She facepalmed and sighed to herself before speaking again.

"I guess I'll tell you some of the story. It was in the second semester of our sophomore year of high school, and you were hanging around your boyfriend - well - soon-to-be ex boyfriend once again, leaving Eren, Armin, and I alone. But the fucked up thing about the situation was, I introduced you to him because you didn't have the courage to ask him out yourself. But later on in the year, you kept avoiding us to spend time with him, and we didn't know why. He told you to stop hanging around us because he lied, saying that we called you a 'fake friend.' You believed him, since you were madly in love with him and believed every word that he said. And eventually, Eren confronted you about it, and made you choose between us, and him, but you chose him. So, we haven't been talking to each other for over two years now."

I stood there, trying to process all of the words she just said. And then my head started to hurt once again, but I ignored it."So, was that all to the story?" She shook her head. "Like I said in the beginning, I'm only telling you part of the story. And that was it."

"Look, I don't know why you're holding a grudge over that, but get over it. Whoever that person was, I'm done with them. It's not like I'll be able to see them again. I'm sorry."

Mikasa was giving me a cold glare. "You think that apologizing just like that is going to help our friendship? We've been affected by that for about two years now! You didn't care about our feelings then, so why now? Why try to fix it now?"

I walked towards her, so that I was looking directly into her eyes. "You may have said that you moved on, but I know that you haven't. And you want to know how I know that? I only know that because of these messages that were in my phone." I got my phone out of my pockect and showed her the 108 messages that were left unread.

"I'm guessing that you must've tried texting me when I was in a coma, because most of these were from December, which was about six months ago." She stared at the messages in awe, trying to figure out why I kept them. "This clearly proves that you still care about me. Now, stop acting like you don't give two fucks about me, when you actually do."

She sighed. "Fine. I know that it wasn't your fault, but it just really hurt me that you would choose him over the three of us when we've been there for you through the bad times."

I gently hugged her. "Good. And I guess I could say that I'm sorry for just leaving you like that for a guy. That was pretty stupid. And you too, Eren." He looked up at me, then smiled. "I guess we're good, then." He got up and hugged the both of us. "Wait. Where is Armin?"

Eren stopped hugging the two of us for a moment. "He's at home, but I don't think that it would be best for you to see him now." I tilted my head a bit, confused. "Why? Is something going on?"

"More like, continuing to happen. The situation tore him apart so badly that he doesn't even want to leave his house anymore," Mikasa said while staring at the floor.

"Does have anything to do with me?"

The two of them looked at each other, then looked at me. Eren said," You're somewhat involved in it." I sighed, and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. "How much trouble have I caused for the three of you?"

Mikasa said, "let's just say, a lot."

I sighed, then looked down at the floor for a while. "I'm not going to worry about it right now, I'll figure something out."

She nodded her head, then stretched.

"I should probably head home, it's already 10:00 PM, and I need to get some sleep."

"But didn't you do a lot of sleeping when you were in the hospital," Eren playfully asked. I punched his arm. "Ow! Hey, I was kidding."

I laughed at him. "Yeah, yeah. But really, I need to get going. I'll talk to you both some other time."

The both of them said their goodbyes, and I left from Mikasa's house.

As I was walking home, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out to see that Eren messaged me. "What? Did he forget to tell me something," I whispered to myself as I opened the message.

Eren: Levi.

Sent at 10:15 PM

What is that supposed to mean?

Me: What?
Sent at 10:15 PM

I sent the message back quickly, and I continued to check the notifications on my phone.

Why are there so many phone calls from this unknown number?

Even though it was giving me a bad feeling, I decided to call that number.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

Then, I felt my phone ring again.

Eren: That's your ex-boyfriend's name.
And meet me in the park tomorrow at 9:00 AM. I got something else to tell you.
Sent at 10:19 PM

Oh, so know you want to tell me?

Me: Alright, I'll see you then. :)
Sent at 10:19 PM

About fifteen minutes later, which was 10:34 PM I got to my house and opened the door, which was surprisingly unlocked.

"Mom, are you home?"

No more than five seconds later, I heard her running down the steps in her robe.

"Oh my god (Y/N), where were you?! I was so worried that you got kidnapped?" She ran up to me and have me a big hug.

"It seems like you weren't that worried because you didn't even bother to call! Did you forget that you gave me my phone?" I pulled my phone out of my pocket and showed it to her. She awkwardly laughed. "Oh, if you would've gotten kidnapped, you would've been brought back after thirty minutes because you would annoy them that badly." I stared at her blankly, and she gave me a small smile.

"Now, get to bed. I'm sure that you're very tired from the long day you had."

I nodded my head and went upstairs to my room.

Luckily, there was a bathroom connected to my bedroom, because I needed to take a shower. About fifteen minutes later, I got out the shower and checked my phone.

"Again?"

The same unknown number called me once again. But why this late at night anyway?

I ignored it and finally took myself to sleep, preparing myself for what tomorrow has to bring me.
