It's a 'her' (Ymir x Christa) (modern)

HISTORIA P.O.V.

Ok, I know that if I tell that a rich person's life is not just buying things and living happily, many people would disagree with me. But yes, even rich people's lives, sometimes, turn out to be unexpected. And this is exactly how my life turned. Just a serie of events that I never thought could happen to me...
It all started on a apparently normal day.

***

"Historia! You should come here! We have something to tell you!"
"Fine, dad!" I screamed from upstairs.
I closed my phone, ending my chat with my best friend Mikasa, and leaving it on my bed, hoping that what my dad was about to tell me would have been something quick.

I went downstairs and reached my parents, smiling.
"What did you want to say?" I asked, looking both my mom and my dad.
"Well" mommy started "it's something really important"
"You know that" continued my dad "we're insisting on you finding a good match to live happily, right?"
I nodded, confused by that conversation.
"Yeah... and so?" I asked.
"Well..." continued my mom, glancing at my dad in a strange way "your dad... your dad took a big decision..."

A shiver crossed my spine. I suddenly felt the strange feeling of knowing what they were about to say...
Dad looked at me, sighing.
"I found you a fiance"
I widened my eyes.

I wasn't expecting them to do it also to me. They did the suggestion with all my brothers and sisters. The last one has been my big sister Frieda, but she refused, saying that she already had someone important in her life. Then my parents asked if he was a rich guy with good possibilities of maintaining her, and she answered that he was, since he was son of the owner of a large company. So my parents accepted and my sister married someone she actually loved.

But I... I had nobody.
I had even never had a boyfriend in my entire life! How could I refuse? Also, my parents were really severe on those things. My family was really rich and they wanted the best for every member.

I looked at my parents. What could I say? At least I had to meet my future husband...
I forced a smile.
"Fine. I know that these things are important for you. When will I meet my fiance?" I asked, trying to sound more kind possible. I actually hated arranged marriages. I wanted to wait more and find someone I loved... but I couldn't marry who I actually wanted... He had to be rich, at least.

Dad looked at me.
"Tonight. I organised a dinner all together. Also, his dad is one of my best colleagues. And his son is a great person. You'll be happy" he affirmed.
Will I?

***

That evening I passed almost half an hour to choose the perfect outfit. If I had to marry this random guy, at least I wanted to make a good impression on him.
In the end, I chose a short red dress, since red always attracts men. Then, I tidied up my long blond hair in a cute bun and I put on some make-up. I really hoped that the random guy would have appreciated.

As soon as I was ready, I went next to the main door to wait for the guests. I really hoped that my sister Frieda would be there with me that evening, but she was at her eighth month of pregnancy and we didn't want her to stress herself too much to come at our meeting. But I really needed her presence...

The doorbell ringed, signing the arrive of the guests.
My dad whispered to me to go open the door.
"Welcome at Reiss Manor!" I smiled.
When the door completely opened, I could finally see my future husband. When my eyes fell on him, my stomach jumped.
I wasn't expecting him... The boy that, at high school, tried to ask me out every damn moment he saw me. Reiner Braun...
"It's a pleasure!" smiled Mr Braun.
His son moved towards me with a bouquet of red roses in his hands.
"Hi, Historia. It passed a lot of time! Accept this flowers, as beautiful as you" Reiner smiled, his cheeks getting a bit red. Reiner was two years older than me. We were in the same high school but in different classes. He still wanted to ask me out everytime he was able to see me in the alleys...he was pretty annoying, if I could say.
But now, he was different from high school. He was taller and more muscular. His blond hair were a bit longer and he also had a bit of beard. He seemed more handsome than the annoying boy from high school. Maybe marrying him wasn't that bad... maybe...
I accepted the flowers and we went inside.

When dinner started, my dad whispered to me to start a conversation. I was feeling really embarrassed by all that situation. So, I started to talk about normal things. I asked Reiner about his job, if he was already living alone, how his life was going...
But more the conversation was continuing, more I wasn't feeling at ease. Our talk, that started from something innocent, became something really strange: everyone started to talk about marriage, kids, money... At first my mind was just saying: come on, just smile and do it for your parents. But, when the dinner was arriving at the end, I started to notice how much Reiner was trying to get along with my parents and he was forgetting about me. I understood that, like every single person in this wolrd, he was just interested in money and sex, even if he liked me a bit.

I was starting to get pissed off. Was someone actually interested in me?! Probably not. The conversation continued between Reiner, his dad and my parents. They even started to talk about me being a perfect house wife and a machine to produce kids... like if I wasn't there....
I started not too feel hungry anymore, so I decided to leave my dishes untouched.

"Yeah, Historia likes babies! She often tells us how much she wants to be a mother, someday!" exclaimed my dad.
I rolled my eyes and started to look at the ground. I wanted to go away.
"Oh, well" Reiner's dad started "I bet she is good in bed!"
My eyes widened at the moment I heard that question. But the most horrible thing I could hear was my dad's answer.
"Of course!"

What?! How could he even answer that thing?! Did he try it?! Of course not!

The anger started to fill my body. Of course what my family actually wanted was me and Reiner multiplying to make our families bigger, just like my dad did when he was younger with his many wives.

"I had enough" I said irritated, getting up from my chair and leaving the room.
"Historia, come back!" I heard my dad screaming.
"Historia, wait!" exclaimed Reiner.
I ignored them. I quickly walked away, exiting from my house, while my family's recalls were echoing through all the rooms.

Once I surpassed my garden and got out of my propriety, tears started to fall and slip along my cheeks. I didn't stop walking, while my crying was intensifying.
The sky was already really dark but many people were still walking and laughing with their friends in bars and restaurants.

I surpassed a night club, drying my tears with a hand. I looked at all the black makeup that was now covering my fingers. I was probably looking terrible, but I didn't care.
I continued to walk. I wanted to go as far as possible.

My feet started to hurt because of my shoes with high heels. I stopped for a moment. I couldn't walk in that situation. My ankles were burning from the pain and I didn't have any pair of shoes to change with the ones I was wearing. But I couldn't even walk barefoot.
I forced myself to walk a bit more and reach at least a bar or a restaurant to sit on one of its chairs, but while I was walking I thought that I couldn't just sit inside without ordering anything and, since I ran away without money, I couldn't afford anything.

I stopped again, sobbing. I dried my tears once again. Why... why was it happening to me? My dad just wanted to give me to Reiner because of his money and his love for me, this way we could have had kids together. Many kids...
My dad... he just wanted me to be a machine of his interests. He never asked me what I actually wanted.

Tears started to fall quicker along my face. My sobbing increased. I wanted to scream because in that moment I was hating my parents so much. I was hating also Reiner and his dad. I was hating Frieda, because she had a beautiful life with the man she loved, while I was forced to marry a random guy. I was hating the whole world for not giving me the chance to choose.
"I HATE YOU!" I screamed, crying and crying "I HATE EVERYONE!"
I sobbed once again.
"Oh, well well"

A female voice echoed from a black alley, making me suddenly stop screaming. My heartbeat stopped for a moment.
