Chapter 4 |Suspect

Erens POV:
I was confused on why he was limping a bit we made it to school I'm concerned should I be... yeah I need to ask him. I hugged him and we walked to our lockers. I helped him grab his books in his locker and we made our way walking to the classroom. We both sat down he sat in front of me as usual.
Class was the usual, Mrs Hange was always ranting about science experiments and so and so... It was so boring most times I'd fallen asleep.
But not this time, i had this weird feeling in my gut something bad was to happen but.. what. I peered around the room in search of anything but nothing. My heart was pounding through my chest I could feel it. I don't understand why I feel so anxious theirs a reason but I don't know what.
A few hours later we left our next class. The lunch bell rang and I could finally see Armin since a few of our classes are different. I walked to the lunch room and sat by the table we always met at.
We started talking as usual and I said "Hey Armin.. remember earlier you were limping you still kinda are.. is something wrong you can tell-" Armin then interrupted me and Armin said "It's nothing I p-pr..." he didn't finish his sentence and changed the subject. Of course I was worried. He was my everything and I knew when he was lying. It was kinda obvious. I began to say nervously "if somethings going on Armin t-tell me alright.. I've noticed you're hurt sometimes AND IM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT SO TELL M-" he began to interrupt me again Armin then said before I could finish my sentence "I-it's nothing okay.." he looked down and tears formed in his eyes. I was left confused as I hugged Armin and said "sorry I didn't mean to y-yell" I continued to hug when a bunch of men with guns ran into the room. I froze up holding Armin as one of them yelled "WHICH ONE OF YOU IS.. ARMIN ARLERT." He yelled Armin rose his hand confused I stared at Armin and still was confused. Armin looked nervous.. more than ever he also looked.. pale and he was breathing heavily as if he just....
My thoughts were interrupted when the men yanked Armin by his arms and yelled "YOU ARE BEING SUSPECTED OF MURDER ARMIN ARLERT DO YOU HAVE ANY WEAPONS ON YOU" the men began to check Armins pockets  and feel all around him for weapons.. none were found. I then stood up and said "H-HE WOULDN'T DO THAT!"
One of the men put hand cuffs on Armin and said "This man is a brutal murder and will be seeking punishments.. maybe even the death penalty." He then scoffed. I ran up to try and get Armin away from this horrid man Armin then looked even paler and traumatized as ever. I stared at Armin and zoned out while trying to get him away only realizing I was being
detained. The other man yanked me away holding my arms behind my back yelling in my face "STOP.. WE WILL NEED YOU TO STOP SIR WE HAVE FOUND EVIDENCE OF ARMIN ARLERTS MURDERS!" As they held me up I slipped on the ground and began crying and yelling at Armin "NO NO NO NO NO NO.. ARMIN YOU WOULDN'T DO THIS PLEASE... TELL
ME ITS A LIE...YOU'RE NOT INSANE... ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN ANSWER ME-" I was then cut off as one of the men took me to his cop car. They covered my mouth as I was screaming and crying to get answer from my boyfriend Armin Arlert. But they took me away. I was in the backseat of the car we arrived in a police station, the police officer helped me walk since I couldn't process what they'd just told me. He sat me down in a cold room. I felt my heart pound. I felt a horrible anxiety. My legs felt like jelly. My head pounded. I got shivers down my entire body. I knew Armin couldn't be a murder he just... he could never. The police officer began to question me and said "alright we brought you here for questioning, we have been told by a few students you and Armin are close right" I nodded still horrified of the situation.
The police officer then said "Okay, well we do indeed have Armin Arlert under suspicion of murder.. we found some evidence but it may not be enough. So if he has an alibi, then he won't be charged with these murders." I zoned out for a second but when he said murders with an s... that means no no no he wouldn't I then said "m-murders" the police officer nodded and asked me "Where you with Armin Arlert on October 17." I then thought back to that day it was only a few months ago I then said "yeah w-we went to a cafe that day" the police officer nodded and said "What's the name of the cafe, If we can find evidence he was their he will no longer be held here, although their is evidence against him but if this alibi is solid he can be let free and will no longer be held here, although you can come to court to either state the evidence you found of him with you you're alibi or you can testify and state a testimony against him." I nodded and thought I would never testify against him I love him more than anyone I know in the world. The police officer than walked to the door opening it for me and said "the court room is 107 it'll be held at 9am sharp" he then led me outside and drove me home as I gave him directions I asked if I could see or at least talk to Armin but he said no since he thought I could just tell him something but I knew in my heart Armin Arlert was no murder. When he gets home to school imagine the bullying he will get we were both crying in front of the entire school nearly. I can only imagine how bad it will be fire Armin but I'll always be their for him no matter what.
I got out of the car and thanked him and unlocked my door I opened it slightly so I didn't wake anyone it was late my sister Mikasa was probably asleep with her girlfriend Annie. I didn't wanna wake then I slipped through my bedroom and collapsed on my bed balling my eyes out. I couldn't take it... no no no way he couldn't be he couldn't he's not a murder.

I woke up and saw Armin sitting next the door clutching a knife in his right hand and he kept yelling "You're cheating on me aren't you... now I have to kill you" he had hate in his eyes he looked pissed he was covered in blood.. it was so strong I could smell it. He started walking towards me and stabbed me in my stomach.
I then shit up waking up from a nightmare and then looked at the time it was 8:30 am I must have fallen asleep that's all. I lazily got up rubbed my eyes and walked to my closet to grab some clothing. I threw my clothes on. Mikasa walked over to me and said "hey were you crying you're eyes are red" she said as she pointed toward my eyes. I then said "A-Armin was suspected for... murder.. BUT.. I know what you're thinking and I know he didn't do it so don't get-" she then interrupted me Mikasa yelled "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE DATING A MURDER" I then yelled back at her "HES NOT HES INNOCENT HES INNOCENT INNOCENT INNOCENT INNOCENT" I knew he was innocent. He was not a murder. Mikasa
Calmed down and walked toward me pulling me in for a hug.. sisters can be quite snappy either nice or mean PICK ONE. I then started crying more than I had in my life and pushed her away remembering I needed to leave to the court room. I slipped on my shoes wiping my tears away and grabbed my car keys. I slipped out the door before Mikasa could say anything to me. I made my way their. I parked my car perfectly. I walked in through the doors seeing Armin dressed up like a prisoner. I couldn't help but stare at him. I felt horrible. The officer showed some footage and evidence that I was with Armin durning the murder. The judge then said after 4 brutal hours of ongoing anxiety, the judge said "Armin shall plead not guilty sentenced.. not guilty" the look on my face immediately my smile was their I ran over to Armin hugging him even though he couldn't hug me back. He had hand cuffs. He honestly pulled off the criminal look. Armin then smiled back and said "I love you Eren" I smiled at him and said "I'm sorry for everything I love you dearly Armin." I hugged him for a short amount of time before they released him from prison. Luckily. Armin was holding my hand tight as our fingers intertwined. I know it was hardly long but still I missed him more than anything.

Armins POV:
I was so so so happy to see Eren as we got inside the car I saw the date and nearly pissed my pants my face went pale and all I could remember was my abusive parents about to beat me to my own death. Eren looked confused I wouldn't blame him and he said "Armin are you okay.." I then didn't hesitate and said
"No I'm about to get be-" I realized that I almost said the secret it was almost out I slapped my hand over my mouth and said "n-never mind well un I meant I just missed you.. a-a lot.."
