Falling (SEQUEL TO 'THE SECRETS WITHIN')

Chapter 10

I laughed so hard at Eren here

-

I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head to the side. Eren wasn't there. I sighed and got up, hoping he was okay. Walking downstairs I saw Eren sitting on the couch, rubbing his temples.

"Hey." I said. He turned around and looked at me with a blank expression.

"Did.... Did you really... cheat on me?" He asked. I stiffened. My throat tightened and tears pricked my eyes. "W-Why?" He asked.

I broke down then and there, falling on my knees and sobbing into my hands. "I didnt mean to Im so so sorry!" I cried.

The only thing I heard for a while was my crying, Eren had gone silent.

"Im going for a walk." He said after a while and I heard the door shut. I got up and sat on the couch. Eren hates me.

"D-Dad?" I heard Petra's voice. The kids had started calling us whatever now, but we really didnt mind.

I quickly wiped my eyes, knowing it wasnt going to do anything and looked at her with a smile. "H-Hey."

"What's wrong?" She asked, sitting next to me.

"I just made a stupid decision." I sighed.

"What did you do?" Petra asked.

"Dont worry about it sweety." I pet her head and smiled.

"I can help though." She pouted, giving me a hug. "Sometimes you need to let your feelings out."

She was right.

"I tried to help uncle Marco but hurt Eren in the process." I explained simple as possible. "And now Eren is a bit sad and I feel bad."

"Well I think Eren will forgive you if he really loves and trusts you." Petra looked at me and smiled.

"You know, for a girl your age you sure are caring and smart." I hugged her.

Petra giggled and hugged me back.

"Hey dont hug without me!!" Levi ran into the room and jumped on us, making me laugh.

I was so glad these kids could cheer me up.

Eren didnt return. I was waiting the whole day but he didnt come back. The kids and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie, and it was around 10pm.

"When is Eren coming back?" Levi asked for the twentieth time.

"Im not sure." I replied. "But I think its time you guys went to bed."

"But I wanna wait for Eren." Petra whined, snuggling into my side.

"You guys have school tomorrow, you need your sleep."

"I think Mondays should be illegal." Levi huffed. I chuckled.

"Cmon." I ushered them up the stairs and to their bedroom. I tucked them in and then sat back on the couch. Hopefully Eren would show up soon.

What if he was sleeping with Jean again?

Wow, no. Dont think like that

I sighed and continued to watch the remainder of the movie. I heard a bang on the door and hysterical laughter. I approached the door slowly, scared out of my mind and looked out the viewhole in the door, to see a figure laughing their head off on the floor.

Oh god here we go.

I opened the door and saw a familiar mess of brunette hair. "Eren?" I couldnt help but stifle a laugh, even though I was a bit angry he was home so late.

"ARMEN I FELL OVER HALP." He laughed, rolling all over the floor.

I chuckled and helped him up. "You have to stop washing your problems away with alcohol." I sighed, dragging his body inside.

"IM SORRY YOU MADE ME SAAADD." He whined as I practically flopped him onto the couch.

"Sorry." I said.

"ITS OKAY I FIGURED IT AAAALLLLL OUT." He grinned.

"Figured what out?" I giggled, he was such an idiot.

"WELLL YOU AND I BOTH DID SOMETHING BAD SO WE EVEN NOWWW. ALSO I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE TRYNA MAKE MARK FEEL BETTERRR." Eren tended to yell everything when he was drunk.

"Its Marco." I laughed. "And yeah I just feel bad though..."

"I KNOW HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT UP TO ME." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes. "Not while your drunk Eren."

"AWWWWW." He whined.

"I think you should sleep." I put out a hand to help him get up but he pulled me down. I yelped and was squished into Eren's chest.

"I dun wanna." He said softly. "I wanna stay up with youuu."

I blushed and buried my face in his shirt. "Alright."

He grabbed my face and squished my cheeks together. "I LOVE YOU YOU COCONUT HEADED SHOTA."

I pryed my hands away and laughed. "I didnt know you knew Japanese."

"I DONT I JUST KNOW SHOTA MEANS CUTE OR SOMETHING."

I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. "Well I do know Japanese and thats not exactly right." I chuckled. I learnt Japanese as an extra subject in high school.

"YOU DO?"

"Shhhh the kids." I placed my finger on his lips which he tried to bite but i pulled it away. "Bad Eren."

"Im sorrryyyy." He pouted.

I giggled and sighed happily.

"Tell me something in Japanese." He smiled.

((A.N: I used Google translate just saying XD, ill tell you what it kinda means at the end))

"Watashi no otto wa bakadesu." I smirked.

"Woahh thats so cooollll." Eren gasped.

"If only you know what I meant." I laughed.

"It better be good things." He crossesd his arms.

"Sure thing." I smiled.

He cupped my face and kissed me briefly, the pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Lets never fight again."

I smiled and nodded.
