We spent the rest of the ride in silence. I stared out the right window while he stared out the left. I had no idea what he was thinking and would occasionally see him quickly glance over to me, but just as quickly returned to looking out the window.

I thought about asking about 'that', but every time I opened my mouth nothing came out. I just want this ride to be over.

*~*le time skip of fabulousness*~*

When we arrived back I jumped out of the carriage and ran inside to my room. I flopped straight into the bed and stayed there. Motionless. I didn't even notice Hanji call out to me until she literally shook me and said I needed to come out side. We were on the way there when all of a sudden "So........what happened?" An interested Hanji asked me.
I simply replied with "What do you mean?" I had a completely deadpan face on. I was so out of it right now. What was wrong with me? Geez. Fuck this ya know? Whatever. "With your friends, duh." Hanji said, "Oh, and Levi." She added. Oh shit. Did she know? "my friends-good. Levi-what are you talking about?" Her face dropped as if to say so it didn't happen then. So she did know. Maybe she knew he would kiss me. That's got to be it. Yes. "Hey-" Too late. We were outside. Facing Erwin.

"So how was the trip?"
"Good. I guess."
"Good."

Well that was a quick conversation.

"Hey, Alice I want to talk to you in private." I nodded and followed him as he ushered me into his office I another building. He shut the door and did I just hear it click? What is going on here? Just as these thoughts popped into my mind Erwin grabbed me and pushed me into the desk and began to strip me of my shirt, then my pants. At this point I realised what he was up to and I screamed with all my might. Would anyone hear it though? I mean we were in another building that was a few minutes away from any of the others. I was doomed. Just as I was about to give up the door burst open revealing a disheveled Levi. It looked as if he had run from one side of the area to another which was probably what he had done.
"Erwin. Get. The. Fuck. Off. Her." His menacing tone and leaving a few seconds between each word made even Erwin scared in his presence. He immediately retaliated with "You said you didn't want any!" What the hell was happening? Did they make a deal on this? On me? I finally realised that I was no longer restrained and that this was the moment of my escape. I ran, not through the door, but through the window. Hey, it was closer. I jumped out and thank god it wasn't that high up. I landed safely and proceeded to sprint to some nearby trees that could surely hide me for a while. I wondered what was happening back in Erwin's office. Now known as a hell hole. Ew. I climbed a tree so that I wouldn't be easily found and I couldn't hold it back anymore. I let tears fall draining my face of happiness and colour. Drowning my skin in a flood of salt and water. I didn't cry for long though. That would be weak. Soon it was reduced to just a sniffle and I climbed down from the tree hoping that the fight in the hell hole was over.
"Hey."
"Ah!! Wha-wait, Levi?"
"Tch. Who else?"
I opened my mouth to say something, but it escaped me as he gently wrapped his arms around me. I finally found my lost words. "Thank you."
