"Why isn't he returning my calls?" I attempted to call Eren's phone for the umpteenth time, and he still didn't pick up.

No more that five seconds later, I got a text message.

Eren: Look, you need to find something else better to do with your life besides bothering the three of us. Can't you see you already made our lives a living hell? Stop calling & texting me, (Y/N)!
Sent at 8:56 AM

But you just said that we were doing alright the other day. What made you change your mind?

Finally, I woke up from that stupid dream. "But why about them," I asked myself as I tried to gain focus to see better.

I checked my phone to see the time, and it was 8:57 AM.

I have time to sleep some more.

I laid back down and slowly shut my eyes. No more that two seconds later, I got up and checked my phone for any messages.

No New Messages :(

Oh, thanks phone.

I looked back through some of the conversations that I had with a few people, and I instantly got up.

I forgot that I had to be at the park to meet Eren at 9:00 AM, and it's already 8:59 AM.

Well, he can't blame me for being late.

I can barely remember things at the moment.

I quickly got dressed, combed my hair and put it into a messy bun, and left the house without my mom knowing.

As I was walking down the street, I felt my phone vibrating constantly. I pulled it out of my pocket to see that my mom was calling me.

Well, so much for leaving without her noticing.

I answered the phone. "(Y/N), make sure that you're home by 5:00 PM, I need to tell you something when you get back."

"Ugh, fine."

Just as I was about to put my phone back into my pocket, it vibrated constantly again in my hand. I checked to see that it was the unknown number that's been trying to call me for the last six months.

"Okay, I don't know who the hell you are, but why do you keep trying to contact me?"

I was basically yelling at person that called, which caused civilians that were walking down the street to turn and stare at me like I was crazy.

"So you finally decide to call me back, huh?"

This person's voice was unfamiliar, but it also gave off a bad vibe.

"Whatever. Just tell me who the fuck you are so that I can end this conversation with you."

He sighed in annoyance. "I'm not telling you anything until I get to see you in person. And from what I was told, you're on your way to the park to meet Eren, am I right?"

I stopped walking and looked behind me to check if anyone was there.

"Who told you this?"

"Don't worry about that. Just know that we'll meet sometime, (Y/N)."

And he hung up the phone after that.

Who is he and how does he know my name?

I sighed, then checked the time on my phone, which now read 9:14 AM.

"Oh shit!"

I started to run, even though after five minutes, my legs and chest started to hurt.

Around 9:19 AM, I managed to get to the park. I was out of breath, but I quickly tried to find Eren.

It seemed like I was looking for ages, so I decided to take a break and sit on a nearby bench.

Just in case, I also sent him a message to let him know that I was waiting for him, and that he can also take his time, which was a lie. I was ready to go back home as soon as possible, but I didn't want to tell him that since he has the information that I need.

"Hey (Y/N)."

I looked up to see that Mikasa was standing before me.

"Uh, hey Mikasa. I thought Eren was coming to see me?" I looked at her, confused.

She shrugged. "He had some business to take care of, so he asked me to meet you here."

I slowly nodded, wondering if that was actually the truth.

"So, what was he going to tell me?"

She grabbed my hand, and started to walk. I groaned.

"Why are we leaving?"

"We don't know who could be watching us at this moment, so I'd rather go back to Eren's house to tell you."

"Fine." I pulled my hand away from hers, and she looked back at me with a glare. "I don't need to be dragged everywhere, you know. I'm not a little kid."

"Yeah, whatever. We need to take a short cut."

She then walked down an alleyway. I stopped walking.

"Do you know what happens to people in the movies when they walk down an alley? They get stabbed. I'm not going that way."

Mikasa turned around while sighing. "This isn't like the movies, (Y/N). You're not going to get hurt."

Just as she said that, someone sneaked up behind me and covered my mouth.

So much for 'not getting hurt.'

"Hey, let go of her!" Mikasa shouted, then tried to run towards me to get this stranger away from me, but they pulled out a gun.

"Take one more step, and I'll shoot!"

"Then shoot me."

I looked at her confused. Is she asking for a death wish right now?

I bit the person's hand, then stomped on their foot. They stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground, which was weird, since I didn't push them, but I grabbed the gun out of their hand, and twisted their arm. They yelled out in pain. We made eye contact for a moment, and all I could see was light gray.

"What are you gonna do with that? It's not like you'll shoot me."

I raised an eyebrow at them. "Oh really?"

I then aimed the gun at their arm, but the bullet didn't come from the gun that I was holding.

I turned around to see Mikasa also holding a gun, while glaring down at the person.

"You took too long to shoot, (Y/N). He could've gotten away."

"But he already got away!" I pointd to where that person was laying, and nothing but a wallet was left behind.

I picked up the wallet and put it in my pocket. "C'mon, we need to get inside before another mishap like that happens again."

Mikasa nodded her head, and then we ran to Eren's house, which only took about 2 minutes.

"Wait, you have a key to his house?"

She nodded her head once again. "I mean, why would I offer to go to his house if I didn't have a key?"

But then, she opened a window and climbed inside.

So, he doesn't know that we're here, huh?

I waited for her to unlock the door, and then I walked inside.

I walked into his living room, and sat down on the couch, which wasn't so comfortable.

Mikasa sat down in a chair that was near the window that she climbed through.

"Alright, so what did you need to tell me?"

She sighed before speaking. "Before I get to that, I need to inform you on something else. And promise me that you will not get mad after I say this."

I nodded my head, then she continued to speak.

"Before you went out with Levi, Eren used to have a crush on you, so he would try to spend every minute with you as he could. He would also try to give you gifts, but you would deny them every time, since you had your eyes focused on him. So that's the reason why he didn't want to see you today, because he knew that you would want to get more information about him."

I gave her a weird look. "Why would he be in love with me? I thought he was dating you, since the both of you were very close woth each other."

She shook her head, then looked out the window. "He was madly in love with me when we were kids, but that all changed when we met you. That was actually a good thing, since I only thought of him as a brother and I didn't have the heart to turn him down."

"Why is he so concerned about that?"

"He doesn't want to see you happy if you're not with him."

I put my hands together and sighed, trying to process that bit of information.

"Look whatever. Just go onto what Eren needed to tell me."

"Wait, before we get to that, what did you pick up off the ground earlier?"

I pulled out the wallet that person dropped, and I handed it over to Mikasa.

"Huh, it's empty. Wait, I found something."

She pulled out a driver's license and handed it to me.

"The person that tried kidnapping me is named Farlan Church. Huh. What the hell would he even want from me anyway? I don't know him."

Mikasa shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh yeah! I still need to know what Eren was going to tell me."

Before she could even speak, there was a knock on the door.

I got up and opened the door. "Uh, who are you and what do you want?"

"You are (Y/N) (L/N), right?" A girl with red pigtails and teal-green eyes just like Eren's looked up at me.

"That depends. Who are you?" I crossed my arms over my chest while looking down at her.

"Oh, how silly of me. I'm Isabel! I was sent here by someone to tell you about Eren, that's if you know him."

I pulled her inside.

"(Y/N), who's at the do- Isabel? What are you doing here?" Mikasa looked at the girl, confused.

"I have some bad news, and it's about Eren."

Mikasa had the look of worry on her face, but it was quickly replaced with her usual stotic expression.

The three of us sat down in the living room as we listened to Isabel's story.

"What? How the hell did he get kidnapped?"

Isabel said, "you may not have known this, but Eren was included in a gang that my Big Bro also works in, and Eren got into some big trouble with one of the bosses, so he got kidnapped. And if we don't get him in about a week, he'll end up dead."

I sighed while staring at the wall, then I felt someone touch my arm. It was Mikasa. "This isn't the time to be getting emotional, (Y/N)."

"I'm not getting emotional! I'm just thinking about how life would be like if Eren wasn't around, even though most of the time, I wasn't around."

"And what is it like?" Isabel asked.

"To tell you the truth, it wouldn't be so great. And he's been a big help so far, and I bet he has more information that I need."

"Really? That's all you can think about right now?" Mikasa asked, furious with my selfish answer.

"If I actually had my memories back, I would mention one of those, Mikasa." I rolled my eyes. "So, what do we need to do?"

"Actually, we only need your help, (Y/N)."

Is this some kind of joke?

"No. If she goes, I'm going too. I don't need anything happening to her."

Mikasa sounded worried about me, which made me feel happy, even though she almost slit my throat yesterday.

"Look whatever, but we really need to get going now. We need to stop by my Bro's house before we do anything."

I checked the time on my phone and it was already noon.

Hopefully that I can get this over with by 5, because I have a feeling that what my mom need to tell me is very important.

"Well what are we waiting for?" The three of us smiled at each other, then stood up.

"We'll need to go out the window, because I need to keep the door locked."

"So you were lying when you said you didn't have a key?"

"Uh, maybe?" She gave me a playful smile, went to lock the door, then climbed out the window first.

"Yahoo! C'mon (Y/N), we got a person to save!" Isabel said excitedly, then swiftly climbed out the window after Mikasa.

I sighed, but quickly followed the both of them.

We ended up walking, which took us about twenty minutes.

"Okay, before we get inside, stay quiet. I don't need for people to be pulling out weapons on us." Mikasa and I nodded, then Isabel unlocked the door.

"Farlan, I'm back and I brought people with me!"

Well, so much for being quiet.

A guy with short, dark blond hair came running down the steps, then hugged Isabel.

"I thought I told you to stay here. When I came back to see that you were here, I was worried."

"But you weren't worried enough to call me or attempt to find me? You idiot!" She pushed him away, while attempting to hide her blush that appeared on her cheeks.

"Ow! Hey, watch what you're doing. I just got shot earlier, and my arm is still sore." Farlan glared at her, irritated by the pain in his arm once again.

She sighed. "I told you not to fool around Farlan! Big Bro is so gonna be mad when he gets back."

Farlan ignored what Isabel said, and made eye contact with me, and it seemed like I've seen those eyes before.

"Oh, Farlan. This is Mikasa and (Y/N). They're going to be helping me get Eren back."

We kept staring at each other for a while, but he eventually looked away.

"Wait, what? No, that's too dangerous. You can't go out there! You'll get yourself hurt!" He was basically shouting at her.

Isabel glared at him. "Why are you always saying that? I'm not going to get myself hurt! I know how to handle myself, unlike you! You already gotten yourself shot!"

"Okay, uh, how is any of this arguing going to help us get Eren back?" Mikasa asked, trying to get them to calm down.

The both of them sighed. "Look, she's right. We can't do anything if we're just arguing." Farlan hugged her once again, but this one was gentle, as if he was going to hurt her. "I'll let you go this time, but if you don't come back in about three days, I'll send Levi for you." She signed. "Fine."

Wait, hold on.

Did he just say Levi?

"Wait. The both of you know him?" I looked at the both of them, confused.

Isabel looked up at Farlan, while Farlan stared at the wall, ignoring my question.

"Yeah, we know him. Why? Did you need him for something?" Isabel tilted her head in curiosity.

"I need him for one little thing. And that's only for information." I then felt Mikasa touch my shoulder. "What?"

"I don't think you're ready to face him again, (Y/N)."

"Why not? If I have no memory about him, then it shouldn't be a problem, right?" She gave me a look of concern, but she quickly turned her head as someone was walking through the door.

Isabel ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Big Bro! You're back!"

He patted her head as he looked at everyone, then his eyes landed on me.

"What the hell is she doing here?"

I checked my phone for the time, which stated that it was already 5 PM.

Well, so much for making it home on time.
