It All Started Like This... (Eren X Mikasa)

Chapter 25: Confusion?

Levi's POV:

I couldn't believe it. Jean just stabbed Eren. I just couldn't believe it. I stood there looking at the floor not knowing what to do. I looked up to see Jean start laughing maniacally.

I snapped and came back to my senses and remembered the final thing that only me and Eren knew about. 

Still going through the plan, I slapped the knife out of his hands. Then I punched Jean. And kicked him in the face. And called him horse-face. And got out my phone.

I dialed 911 and got through but as the operator was about to speak, Jean took the phone and threw it to the side.

"Just what are you doing?" he said in such a demeaning voice.

"You just stabbed someone. He needs medical help," I stated as I walked over to the phone. Jean grabbed my shoulder and punched me in the face. 

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE!!!!!!!!" shouted Jean. I glared at him and answered the phone.

"Yes, sorry about that. I have here a guy who has just been stabbed and the culprit-" The phone was kicked out of my hands and onto the floor yet again. I received another punch to the face and one to the stomach. I flew backwards hitting the wall and slumping down. The crazy thing I did though was just laugh. I laughed. I laughed hard. I laughed my heart out. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I laughed until Mikasa finally looked up and stared at me. Jean was staring at me as well.

"What the heck are you laughing about?" Jean shouted. 

"Ha ha ha. Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much of an idiot you are!"

"Um.... what?" Jean and Mikasa were confused. They just looked at me blankly. But it was to be expected. I pulled out a walky-talky and changed to channel 5.

"You may come in. My past efforts failed and my friend here needs medical attention," I spoke into the walky-talky.

"Roger," responded the person on the other line. It echoed throughout the room. Lots of footsteps were heard overhead as I smirked. But then I stopped and went over to Eren.

I whispered into his ears, "Hang in there. Just hang in there Eren."

Soon, a crowd of guys in blue uniforms and riot shields barged in yelling, "This is the police! Hands up!" Jean was shocked and put his hands up; he was the only one in the room who did that and one police member went down and handcuffed him. Mikasa was even more confused.

"Hey Mr. Kirstein!" I shouted to the group of police members. One person stepped out of the crowd and and took off his tinted helmet.

"Dad?" asked Jean. Indeed it was his father, who had been an undercover detective. He didn't even share this bit of info with his son.

"But why?"

"Sorry son. I couldn't protect you from the dark side. Heck I couldn't live with myself for knowing you did this."

"But Dad," Jean started to cry. "Why didn't you arrest me earlier?"

"Because son, you hid the evidence well. You even blackmailed this kid."

"Wha-? You knew about that too?" 

"Yes, I did. You were going to get arrested eventually but we needed the right chance. That's when Eren came along. So I'm sorry son. Your mom could have saved you...."

"DON'T BRING MY MOM INTO THIS!!!!" Jean screamed at the top of his lungs.

Jean's dad turned to me and then to Eren. 

"Get this kid to the hospital. And bring my ever unfortunate son to the station." Jean was taken away and Eren was placed on a stretcher and Mikasa clinged onto him. I walked with Mr. Kirstein and Mikasa into the ambulance. The doors shut behind us and through the window, you could see Jean being pushed into the back of the police car. He looked at me with regret and the car pulled away. 

I turned to Mikasa and Mr. Kirstein. It looked like they still had questions for me.

"So, Levi. Why didn't you call us earlier when you saw your ally get stabbed?"

"That's-" I was cut off when the emergency care assistant noticed it. He moved the sleeve up and showed it to Mikasa and Mr. Kirstein.

"I see. I didn't think you would be smart to use a bulletproof jacket."

"Bulletproof jacket?" Mikasa asked.

"Yeah, I may or may have not stolen it at the last second. But it was because Eren wanted to risk his life for you. He was determined to save you from Jean at any costs and in any situation. He wanted you to have a better time and future. I was the one who convinced him to use it."

"He would do that for me?"

"Of course Mikasa. Didn't you hear him earlier? He said he loved you too." I said trying to comfort her as she started to tear up and sob on Eren.

Jean's POV:

CURSE THAT TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rage and fury ran through my head as I stepped into the police station. 

"So this is the kid, eh?" asked one of the police officers waiting for me at a cell. I stared at him and hesitantly walked into the cell.

"Sorry kid. Your father is a great man. If only you weren't his son." said another police officer.

I spat in the corner and sat down on the cold hard cement bench.

"Okay kid. Let's take a look at what was recorded for your felonies today..... my god....."

"What?" I asked him.

"Yeah, well..... it was to be expected...."

"What?"

"Jean Kirstein.... in court you will be tried as an adult for all the charges against you. With so many incriminating evidence you are facing more than 50 years in jail depending on the judge. You are one serious kid for having; aggravated battery and assault, stalking, tampering with evidence, and domestic violence charges. Just what the heck did you do kid?"

"I'M NOT A KID!!!! I'M A YOUNG ADULT!!!!" I screamed in agony.

Mikasa's POV:

I clung onto Eren when he was being moved from the ambulance to the emergency room. They told me to move, but I wouldn't budge from him. That's when the doctor came in and to my surprise, it was my mom! 

"Mom! You will be taking care of Eren?"

"Yep. You can move aside Mikasa. We'll help him recover." 

I held his hand firmly and gently placed it down. I left the room and sat outside in the hallway on the bench. I wonder if Eren was like this too when I was in the hospital myself. I looked down at the floor tears splattering the ground once more.

"You've probably created an entire river with your tears." I looked up and saw Levi handing me some canned coffee. 

"This is no laughing matter, Levi."

"I know," he replied with content. We both opened our cans of coffee and took sips from it. 

"You know Mikasa, it's about time to tell you the same truth I said to Eren.

"Huh?" I knew I was about to get another backstory.
