《20 days (Eremika)》Epilogue 4/4

Eren's POV
It was 12:13 in the morning and I was still watching the doors closely waiting for the doctors to come out with Mikasa's results. I couldn't sleep, I didn't have the time to sleep when I could be spending the rest of my time with Mikasa. Er whatever time she did have left.
Everyone else had left because either their parents was worried about them or they was getting tired.
The ones that remained was Sasha, Jean, Bertholdt, Christa and Ymir.
They all engulfed themselves in a conversation while watching a movie that played on the small television.
My parents laid peacefully on the small couch together and I was the only one doing nothing but watching the door.
Please be okay I prayed to myself. I've never been loosing hope, she should be living, there is so much things I've still wanted to do with her still. But as of now with her in this state I don't think we would get the chance.
"Eren" I hear Bertholdt call my name.
He sits beside me which meant we was sitting together in a deserted row of chairs.
"You need to stop worrying, I'm sure everything is okay" he assumed.
"I'm not going to immediately assume that Bertholdt. This is a life or death situation for her and right now death could be winning, you saw how she was bleeding out and could barely talk...It's all happening to fast" I sniffed.
"Plus you're lucky you have nothing to worry about, after all your girlfriend isn't the one laying in a hospital bed hooked up to those damn machines" I retorted.
"What girlfriend? You mean the one that used me to make you Jealous?! Annie? That girl?" He argued sarcastically.
"Eren she doesn't even like me like that, I loved her but she wanted you not me so what's the point?" He growled.
I stayed quiet forgetting how he was used.
I sighed heavily. "I just hope she's okay" I say laying my head down.
"I'm sure she is, she wouldn't dare leave you by yourself" He comforts me.
The doors suddenly burst open and startled I look up to see a female nurse and male doctor walking out. I stood up and quickly walked over to them.
"How is she?" I asked twiddling with my fingers. The female nurse sighs. "We aren't done with her just yet but I think right now its best if you all just go home we can't have any visitors as of now" the nurse suggested.
"But how is she? I need to know if she's okay!" I announced. "Eren we are doing all we can but right now Mikasa is doing just fine come tomorrow and the results should be in by then" the doctor speaks up.
"C'mon Eren let's just go" My mom speaks wide awake now.
"But..." I trailed off and slumped my shoulders. I hope she was alright.
"Can I at least say goodnight to her?" I asked. "No Eren she's in surgery" the nurse says.
The two waves us off and now everyone is leaving.
"I'm sure everything will be okay Eren" Ymir says in a soothing, confident tone.
"I hope" I muttered.
"Goodnight Eren" all my friends say. They give me tight hugs and peck my cheeks before heading home.
I enter the car with my parents and we pull away from the hospital.
"I'm sorry Eren but once were settled in the morning we'll go straight to the hospital" my mom plans.
"Okay" I sniffed.

Once we get to our house my parents go straight to bed but me. I can't even blink without thinking about the what if's and my life without Mikasa.
I knew I would have to prepare myself for that moment if she didn't make it. I would have to bare her death and find a way to dealt with it. But I knew that wouldn't happen. I would be to depressed to move on.
Even if its only been 2-3 months since we met each other it feels like I've known her my whole life.
The thought of her bleeding out and being rushed to the hospital sprints to my mind.
I was shaking. I clutched on tighter to my covers and tried hard to hold back the tears that tried forcing its way out of my eyes.
Without success the tears slip and I let out a short cry.
"Please don't leave me Mikasa, I need you more then anything you can't go. You can't walk into my life and love me then leave so soon...nothing will be the same without you...I love you" I say to myself.
I engulfed myself in the covers and kept crying. I tried so hard to stop but the thought of loosing the love of my life killed me.
"Please don't go. Oh god please help me. Please. Don't take her away from me"
After crying nonstop and throwing up a bit in the small garbage can I ended up passing out and fell into deep slumber.
~ The next morning ~
After eating breakfast, taking showers and resting a bit my family and I was on our way to the hospital but first we needed gas.
I was dressed in a blue and white striped button up shirt, black pants and black and white sneakers.
I actually brushed my hair for once and then tried to massage and soothe the bags under my eyes so it looked like I had got sleep.
I was praying on our way to the gas station that Mikasa was alright.
If she was leaving can't I say bye just once more. That's all I want.
While my mom walked in to get gas my phone vibrated and I looked down to see that Armin had texted me.
Armin: On my way to the hospital, see you there
Eren: Kay, you too
I closed my phone and once my mom got back in the car we was on our way to the hospital now.
"Eren we all know how it is to loose someone" my mom speaks firmly.
She doesn't look up at me. She just keeps her gaze on the road.
"We all do. But we keep living our lives and if this all doesn't work out please don't fall into a series of depression, I'm sure Mikasa would want you to live the life both you and her always wanted so please do it for her" She says a bit sadden.
I frown. But I get what she is saying although it'll be tough to forget someone you love so much.
I nod and soon enough were at the hospital and were entering.
I see Armin sitting down in the waiting room with his grandpa, reading a magazine.
"Did you hear anything yet?" I asked as I walked up to him. He looks up and a small smile forms on his face.
"No not yet but I'm sure any moment now they will come out with her results" he assumes.
I nodded silently and took the empty seat beside him. I see my parents a few rows ahead of us watching TV that was up ahead.

"Are you scared?" Armin asked. I chuckled nervously. "Of course I am, not only was she a really important patient that I wanted to help but she also turned out to be the love of my life" I inhaled sharply.
"She is a really good person Eren. Mikasa is really brave to try those pills to live longer enough even if it decreased her lifespan by two" he encourages.
"Your lucky to have a lady like her. I pray that everything goes well. But Eren if things don't go the right path just don't go into a series of depression. I need my old friend and I'm sure Mikasa-"
"Yeah yeah yeah I got the same pep talk from my mom. But I'll try Armin" I cut him off.
His worried face forces a smile and I can tell he is scared for me.
"Any visitors for Mikasa Ackerman?" The nurse calls out once she exits a door.
Both me and Armin raise to our feet. "Good luck boys" Armin's grandpa waves.
We both waved back and after hugging my parents we both are led to a specific room upstairs.
I remember where were going. It's the room where I first met Mikasa.
"I'll be out here" the nurse confirms before allowing us in. I hesitate for a moment before walking in.
My eyes go to tears.
Although there is less wires hooked up to her (thank god) she is really pale and looks lifeless. But because of her heart monitor I'm clarifying that she is still alive.
"Mikasa" I call her as I took a seat next to her.
I grab her hand into mine but haven't noticed how stiff it was that if I pulled it back her arm could break. Her eyes immediately opened.
"Eren!" She screams. "Yes?" I asked a bit scared at her sudden outburst.
She sighs. A smile spreads across her face.
"Hey Mikasa" Armin greets his presence. She smiles and I notice how hard it took her to wave. Was she what I think she is?
"I have good news for you Eren" she says relieved.
It makes my shoulders less tense and I clutch a bit tighter on her small hand.
"What is it?" I asked bracing myself for anything she would say.
She's quiet for a while and is just smiling. It makes me smile but it's also building my suspense up.
"What?" Both me and Armin asked at the same time.
He was probably a bit scared to.
"I'm not going to die" she exclaims.
My mouth hangs open and I can't help but let tears stream down my face.
"Really?! You aren't lying right?" I asked. My heart pounded rapidly and at any moment it would burst.
"Nope I'm not lying, Hanji even told me but there was a catch" she explained. "What?" I asked a bit worried now.
Although I was still deep down inside so relieved.
"I would be able to live. Talk. Eat. And all but...I would be paralyzed from the waist down" she tells.
I frowned. "So you can't move now?" I asked. "Nope but I can talk and all so I'm even better then before!" She exclaims.
"Wait. But I thought Hanji told you it all cancelled out?" Armin asked.
She nods. "There's been a slight mix up, yes it decreased my lifespan but because I am paralyzed now I actually have a longer life, they even cured my sickness so I'm alright now so nothing to worry about" she tells.
She's so calm and I can't help but feel so freaking happy.
"I love you so much" I cried and hugged her tightly before planting kisses everywhere.
She giggles and strokes my hair. "I'm proud of you Mikasa, do you think we should have a party?" Armin asked.
"Later. When I'm released later on today I want to spend the day with Eren" Mikasa says looking directly at me. I blushed.
The doors abruptly open startling us all once we see Hanji walk in. Our faces lit up.
"Hey darling! Nice to see you awake and alive" she smiles. "I see Eren and his friend heard the news" she beams. Mikasa nods.
"Did you tell them about you living with me?" Hanji asked. I give Mikasa a perplexed look.
"I was getting to that" Mikasa says a bit guilty. "Hanji will be taking custody of me because of my hospital record and since I have no parents and you guys didn't want to adopt me Hanji has filled out an adoption slip so I'm her full responsibility" she explains.
"I just finish telling your parents Eren so later on we'll get all of Mikasa's things into my house" Hanji adds on.
"Cool, I don't mind I'm just glad Mikasa is okay" I say before kissing her forehead.
"Mikasa at 2:30 you'll be released so for the time being just watch some TV and if you want you can accompany her Eren and Armin" Hanji says before heading out.
"I'm glad to hear everything is going good for you two its good to see you both happy" Armin gushes.
"But sorry I can't stay any longer I just came to see how Mikasa was, bye you two love birds" Armin winks at us before leaving.
My parents come in and give their heart out to her. My mom cried tears of joy and hugged Mikasa so tightly before kissing her. They talked for a few minutes before leaving us alone.
"I'm sure you know your way back home Eren, see you later" my parents waved.
It's quiet now and Mikasa gives me room for me to lay down next to her on the bed.
We both are quiet and we take in this moment. My hand finds her own and I take it in mine.
"I thought I lost you" I break the silence. My grip tightens. "I thought I lost you forever Mikasa, I didn't want to live a life knowing you wouldn't be in it, I'm so damn happy your alright" I let out.
I lean my head on hers and sniff a bit. "I'm sorry if I scared you" she apologized.
"I was terrified Mikasa. I didn't dare want to sleep, I prayed and cried hoping everything was alright I was scared to loose the one person I care about"
"Eren" Mikasa speaks firmly. She has a beautiful flawless smile on her face and not a single hint of worry.
"I'll do anything to stay with you" she says before kissing my cheek.
I put my hands around her waist and pull her closer to my chest taking a swift of her cherry blossom scent.
"I love you Mikasa I never wanna loose you" I whisper in her ear. I kissed her ear and nestled against her for warmth.
"I love you to Eren" she says softly.
"I can't wait to have more adventures with you"
