Chapter 3 |Mistakes

Armin looked over at the time as he blushed from the way Eren kissed him. He nearly screamed slapping his mouth with his hand in shock of what would happen. Eren looked over at him in confusion and said "um you okay is it cause i kissed you s-sorry i shouldve-" Armin interrupted him and said while shaking his had meaning no "No no thats not it- i um well i have to get going Eren here ill drop you off home"

Soon after they said there goodbyes to soon meet again later. Armin parked the car correctly as he slowly unbuckled the seat belt he then opened the door taking the keys. He slowly walked with the groceries in his arms. He opened the door to see his parents agrivatted staring coldy back at him. His mother yanked him by the floor yelling in his ear "WERE THE FUCK WERE YOU DAMIT I SAID GET FOOD AND STAY IN SCHOOL THATS IT" The next thing i knew my eyes filled with water my eye sight got blurry as slowly i watched my dad walk by and through a punch to my face as he held me by the hair and yanked me from my mothers grip by the collar of my shirt

and he through me to the ground kicking me repeatedly in the stomach as i lied on the floor my eye sight got blurry as blood coverd the floor as each kick set into my stomach it ached. It hurt so bad i felt as if id die right in this spot but i knew it was worse then id ever been beaten before he mustve been super drunk i peered my eyes as tears flowed down my cheeks i saw tons of alcohol and drugs covering the counters. My eyes slowly shut and opened over and over. I fell to a deep sleep as i woke up realizing i was still on the floor in a bit of blood still pouring out slowly as i had finally been able to move it hurt so bad i wanted to scream. I got up slowly as my mother came into the room still drinking alcohol. As i rubbed my eyes trying to wake up as i saw my mother she was totally still in a drunken state as yesterday i realized i had school and couldnt nearly managed to make it to school in this condition. I slowly got myself up still in a horrible pain i felt so sick to my stomach almost screaming the pain was so bad i needed to search for some asprin i picked some up yesterday so, i limped my way to the cabinet to grab some. I took some pills out and swallowed as i limped back to my bedroom to go lie down i checked my phone and i had over a hundred missed calls from Eren and a bunch of text messages from him as well , but i didnt feel like answering him i was in too much pain and just wanted to cry without him worrying about me i couldnt say anything with my voice it had sounded all teary and i could hardly get a word out i was crying way to much. My eyes felt sleepy as i fell asleep.

A few hours later i heard my mom yelling at my father about going to the bar. I heard slamming noises and foot steps. She swang the door open and yelled "We are going out ALRIGHT AND DONT LEAVE THE HOUSE" she got closer to me and wispered "If you do ill kill you " My face went pale but i nodded because i wasnt in the mood to talk at the moment. It had been a while since they left i heard banging on the front door.

Eren POV:

Armin hadnt shown up to school and he hadnt answered I decided since i knew were he lived i could drop by. I was worried sick since hed never not answered i guess its okay he didnt but although i came to concusions maybe his phone broke and or maybe he was sick but it didnt matter i had to see him i just had to i loved him to much to not talk to him for longer than a day.

Armins POV:

I didnt feel like moving to the door i was overly exhausted and in pain but when i heard the door swang open hitting the wall i heard Eren yell for me. I immediately freaked out he couldnt see me coverd in blood.

Erens POV: I peaked through the door as i slammed it open seeing a bit of blood i freaked out wondering if that was Armins blood I ran upstairs yelling for him in a freaked out tone. I looked all around no sight until i came across another door i opened it and said "A-armin are you okay why is there blood and what happend how have you been why no answer please i beg of an answer... are you crying".

Armins POV:

I turned to see him freaking out in tones of emotions id been happy hed been here but he needed to go the blood everything id been in pain and couldnt say anything i wanted to i promise i wanted to tell him but theirs no way i could i could never ruin his life by making him worry and thats it i couldnt say anything im not bringing things into his life i couldnt i couldnt!!

i then said " O-oh e-eren w-why are you here" i said in pain as tears poured down my cheeks.

Eren looked at me and said as he sat down next to me and looked at my face smearing some of the blood off he then said "H-hey talk to me whats wrong you can tell me anything , love"

I began to blush as he wiped the tears but i- i was in so much pain i couldnt say the truth i looked at him and said "I- Eren im sorry but its nothing and im sorry" i then wispered mumbling so he could hardly hear "I dont wanna lie but i have to" i hoped he didnt hear me but sadly he looked back and wiped more tears and said "dont lie i heard you now tell me i love you more than anything you can tell me anything in the world and i wouldnt give a shit if you hated me i love you and you can really tell me anything alright now please.." He said confidently. I looked back at him knowing i couldnt lie but hed hate me after but i knew i had to tell the truth now i cried even more as i looked at him and said "F-fine i-its my parents... t-they t-th-they... i-i th.......... they hurt me" Eren looked back as his eyes widened and he said "What!? this is the bruises isnt it!" He looked at me and saw even more blood flowing down my nose and my stomach he lifted my shirt seeing tons of bruises he looked shocked and slapped his hand against his mouth stopping himself from talking his knees buckled onto the ground upset as he cried and looked at me and said "Armin... Armin please come home with me im not letting- i- i wont let them hurt you anymore how long has this gone on for?" i cried more hardly getting words out of my mouth and said "Since- s-since i- was at least starting s-school." i cried even more as he held my hands and stood up to hug me and hold me in his arms to comfort me even more. He then said "I wont allow it anymore.." i said in fear "I cant live with you theyll hurt me again s-she threatened t-to k-k-k.... kill me.... a-and she really means it i-i m-mean s" eren stopped me from saying much more and said "Here pack up alright youre staying with me ill make a CPS claim." i looked at him crazily and said "They wont believe me.. l-last time they said i was drunk when i called though i wasnt and they even brought out empty alcohol bottles from themselves framing me for it"

Eren looked back at me and pulled me in for another hug as he held me in his arms and he said "We have evidence though-......" I pulled away and said "Ive tried e-eren ive tried its usless maybe- m-maybe i should just die instead its pointless alright..." Eren looked back at me holding up my chin and said "Armin! Dont say that ever... no... No.. dont let those thoughts cross youre mind okay PROMISE ME... just wait A-Armin youre not usless i love you okay... so p-promise me..." i made eye contact and said "I- i p-promise.." we hugged until i told him he needed to go he helped me clean most my wounds he then said "call me next time they hurt you ill call the cops okay.. b-but can you please stay with me tonight youre gonna be hurt i dont want you to-" I interuppted him quickly and shook my head meaning no "No Eren i cant but i promise ill be fine" He left giving me a kiss and hugging me tightly i saw a tear form in his eye as he rubbed it away. he left i heard the front door i fell asleep hearing my alarm and got up still in a bit of pain i took medicine last night so it wasnt bad. I brought myself to get some clothing on and walked myself downstairs and started the coffee machine for my parents. My mom yanked my arm and dragged me to the bathroom i tried getting away kicking but her grip was tight it was usless trying, she dragged me and began to push my head into the ice water making sure my eyes were not puffy or if i had any wounds on my face this should help she pulled my hair yanking my head out of the water. She let go as i fell since she had been the only thing holding me up i gasped for air and coughed. I had been used to it by now. I slipped on my shoes and walked outside and then said "And give me that" She yanked the car keys from my hand and said "You can walk you stupid little bitch" She rolled her eyes. I saw my dad on the couch hung over from drinking. i walked myself outside seeing a glimpse of Eren. my frown went to a smile quick as i was still limping a bit. Erens face went from a bright smile to a frown his eyes were still glimmering in the sunlight i looked confused when he stopped smiling. So i pulled him for a small kiss nothing special. He then smiled for a slight second and blushed. I began to blush as well. He then said "Are you okay.. youre limping" I looked at him and said "Well i have to be honest so fine im not but its all good its just limping im okay now alright..?" he put his arm around me to help me walk a little better as we made our way to school.
