Falling (SEQUEL TO 'THE SECRETS WITHIN')

Chapter 18

"So your daughter is sick and you want to drag her out of bed without even caring!?" She yelled, sitting up.

"You don't look that sick to me." I crossed my arms.

"Well I am! Just let me stay here!"

"Stop shouting!!" I yelled, shutting her up. "Your speaking to your father, don't you dare raise your voice!"

"Whatever." She mumbled, lying back down.

"Petra get out of bed right now." I growled. What the hell was wrong with her?

"No."

"I swear to God-" Eren walked in.

"No, you know what? Thats fine." I said, stopping Eren.

"W-What!?" He exclaimed.

"Fine Petra. You can stay home." I said. "But..." I grabbed her phone from her bedside table and she shot upright. "No phone, no laptop and no internet." I smiled, walking away and grabbing her laptop bag on the way out.

"W-Wait, what!?" She glared at me.

"Well you're sick. Can't be on the phone or infront of a screen can you? Eren, mind unplugging the tv for me?" I turned to Eren and smiled.

"B-But!"

"What? Aren't you sick?" I asked innocently. Eren was in the corner snickering.

"Well... Yeah b-but..." She stuttered. "UGH!!" She crossed her arms and huffed.

"You have five minutes to have your hissy fit and get dressed, I'll be waiting at the car." I said and walked out of her room with Eren following.

Levi's POV (oooo something new *^*)

I waited anxiously at the airport, pacing back and forth at the entrance of the plane arrival section that Robert was coming from.

What if he doesnt like me? What if I'm awkward? What if I have a panic attack and die?? Thoughts frantically swarmed my head. I looked back at Armin for reassurance who smiled at me and mouthed 'breathe'. I took a deep breath and smiled back at him before looking back at the entrance for the fiftieth time.

'What if he isn't coming?' Was the last final thought that went through my mind before I saw it.

The red trenchcoat.

Robert told me he had a special red trenchcoat he wore in winter and to special events to remind him of his grandfather, could this be it. I lost him in the crowd a few times but I finally caught a glimpse of his face.

It was him.

Suddenly my heart practically stopped. 'What do I do now? Oh my god oh my god...' I locked eye contact with him and once he saw me his eyes lit up.

"Levi!!" He yelled.

My eyes widened and surprisingly all of the thoughts and worrys went away. I smiled uncontrollably and ran at him. He dropped his suitcase and I jumped into his arms, giving him a tight embrace.

"Oh my god, it's actually happening." Robert laughed, hugging me back. We pulled away and I looked at Eren and Armin who were smiling at me, but then looking at Petra who was looking down at the floor, looking kind of scared actually; but I ignored her.

I looked back at Robert and grinned, giving him a small wave.

"I can't believe this is happening man." He laughed. "I can't believe I was so nervous too."

I pointed to my chest and nodded as to say I was nervous too. Robert didn't understand sign language but was pretty understanding if I made simpled gestures like the one I had just used. He looked over at my family. "Is that them?" He asked.
