Chapter 12 |Trial

Armin POV:

I shrugged at Erens question and drank some of the water that Eren gave me. I got a spoonful of the milk and cereal and ate it. Honestly i was not that hungry but if it made Eren happy then ill eat. Eren looked down again and he walked over to me and sat down with his phone as he then shut it off. Eren continued as he said "Armin please!" I thought about it for a second what if my parents would go to jail. Maybe Eren was correct.. I thought about it for a while. I set the spoon back in the bowl since i really was not hungry. I pushed the bowl away and i said "Fine.. Only because my parents hurt others and i guess your right.." I gave him that look were you know that persons correct but you dont wanna admit it. Eren smiled lightly and said "Im happy, i dont need you getting hurt alright." I nodded at what he said.

-A few weeks past the court trial has now started-

Eren POV:

I am so relieved the trial can start. We have as much evidence as we could to back up Armins testimony. This would be perfect. Finally getting justice for Armin, and the rest of the woman abused by his father and his mother has done far as much. Finally Armin can seek freedom, from this never ending hell, it shall end at last! Im honestly so excited for Armin to move in with me. Armin walked over and sat next to the judge, The judge began asking him questions about what his parents did. Armin calmly answered them. He seamed upset about answering them since he had to relive the situation i hated that but its gonna work out in the end. Armin sat down were he was originally, people were staring and whispering about the situation. Armins father then told the judge about were he was those nights, he had evidence! It had to be fake... right? Theirs no way! I was a witness isnt that enough evidence to lock them up! The other woman spoke up on about how they were sexually assaulted on some nights, which Armin could confirm his parents werent home those nights. But the stupid judge wouldnt listen! I stood up and said "Dammit! Damn you! I SAW WITH MY OWN TWO GOD DAMN EYES ARMIN IS BEING ABUSED LOOK AT HIS BRUISES HIS... HIS SCARS DAMMIT-" Before i could finish my rant the police walked over to me and forced me out of the room. I began crying and yelling at them out of anger. They couldnt just do this. "FUCK OFF DAMMIT LET ME GO! YOU CANT DO THIS GO HELP ARMIN PLEASE I BEG PLEASE!!!!!!" i yelled and screamed as i tried to get to Armin. If this was not gonna work we could run away together like i planned. I could hear the judge from the back of the room The jury listens to the evidence during a trial, decides what facts the evidence has established, and draws inferences from those facts to form the basis for their decision. The jury decides whether a defendant is "guilty" or "not guilty" in criminal cases, and "liable" or "not liable" in civil cases. The Judge said "Well.. Listening to this amount of evidence of these two Mrs Arlert and Mr Arlert, You are pleading as Not guilty and sentenced Not guilty, Members of the Jury, this Court dismisses you and thank you for a job well done." I was currently in the back of the room, I could see the look on Armins face he was so hopefully until the judge said his parents were not guilty, the hope and happiness drained from his face. He looked expressionless, Armin ran out of the court room as he panted as he entered a bathroom as i followed. Armin didnt notice i followed him. Armin was sitting by the sink crying on his knees. I stood behind him and sat down and hugged him, Armin flinched he wasnt all too used to affection very often. Armin continued to cry as he struggled to talk as he said "E-eren.. there gonna.... k-kill me!" Armin started sobbing. I clutched him tightly.

Armin POV:

I pushed Eren away as i stood up and turned back and whispered "I-im sorry Eren.." Armins sentence trailed off for a second as his voice got slightly louder he said "I dont think we should... be together anymore.. Im sorry its just I- i.. its not- well i-" Eren then said "Armin.. w-why.." Erens face went pale as he looked so shocked and sad. Eren began crying before he knew it he just sat their. I had to break up with him i love him truly but i dont want to hurt him, nor put pressure on him, Plus im done with my suffering ill write him a note before i die. My parents may kill me and if they dont ill be hurt for the rest of my life. So i just i had to do this i wasnt trying to hurt Eren even more but him knowing im being abused is even worse pressure on him and i cant let him hurt this bad it would honestly really hurt me to see him like that im sorry eren im sorry i am i truly am i want him to know i do i do i do i do i do i do.

Im sorry

Im sorry

IM SORRY!

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY!

but this is just what had to be done. I walked over to Eren before i patted his head i hesitated and pulled my hand away and turned around and cried more and whispered "I- i still love you Eren.. But this has to be done.. I cant hurt you anymore.." I then yelled "IM SORRY OKAY!" I then pushed the door open and ran out. I dont know if he heard me or not. But i ran out and ran home it was pouring. As i started running i felt a hand on my shoulder when i started slowing down. I flinched and turned around slowly. It was Eren of course he was crying his eyes were red and he fell on his knees. I then sighed and said "Eren you need to go home your probably gonna catch a cold" Eren couldnt help but chuckle and said "Yeah so do you..Anyways i came here because i needed to know, Do you still... love me i heard you slightly" Eren scratched the back of his neck. I slowly stood back and kept walking away back wards not realizing their was someone behind me i fell down and scraped my knee as i turned around and said "s-sorry i shouldve-" It was a tall girl who then slapped me as she stood up and she whispered "stupid bitch.." as she walked away. I stood myself up and sighed as i said "Eren please stay away from me... I cant i cant see you anymore!" I yelled as i ran away crying as the rain poured all over me as i ran in tears. I was so sad without Eren but with him i made him sad i bet. I probably put pressure on him. I turned back to check if Eren was following me he just had his head down in his knees. I came home, My parents were yelling at each other and my father grabbed my hair and threw me and said "SO YOU LITTLE BITCH THINK YOU CAN GET US IN TROUBLE ILL SHOW YOU-" I must have blacked out i woke up in the hallway in blood i was slightly late for school, It was still raining so i walked i didnt make them breakfast since i must have forgot but i was already on my way to school. I got their luckily, I didnt realize i was covered in blood til everyone starred at me as i entered the class late. I saw Eren his mouth dropped. I shrugged as the teacher said "Armin go take a seat please." I guess i was the teachers pet so it was fine that i was late. I felt a tap on my shoulder it was Historia she said "Armin what happened why do you have blood on you?" Ymir laughed and said "I bet he got in a fight." Eren then yelled "Thats not funny Ymir!" I looked at them shocked and said "Blood???" They nodded as i excused myself to the bathroom, I walked down the hall and toward the bathroom. I took one look in the mirror and i pushed myself toward the wall as my back slid down it as i sat down up against the wall. I began crying as i put my knees up to my chest. I couldnt take it i want to die i want to die already someone kill me i dont wanna be here...

I dont wanna be here.

They all hate me

I wanna die now

who cares anymore..

The thoughts surrounded my head as i began to cry more. I brought myself up to the classroom i didnt wash up their was no point. I sat down in a chair and acted exactly as nothing happened. I put my head down and then the bell rang it was time for lunch. I walked down the hallway toward the cafeteria and sat down at a small table were nobody was.

Eren POV:

I couldnt find Armin anywhere he was hurt again wasnt he.. I love him too much i wonder if he still loves me.. Does he hate me now. I walked over to the cafeteria to see Armin alone i sat down next to him and he smiled softly i didnt understand him? Armin handed Eren a letter and said "Dont read til tomorrow..." He smiled and left the room. Eren was impatient and read the letter. Eren began crying tears streaming down his cheeks. Eren screamed "ARMIN!" All the kids in the cafeteria stared at him in confusion. Eren ran towards the exit looking for Armin. He looked all around the school. But no sight of him. Eren began running toward his house in tears he thought to himself 'Armins gonna be there just like always hes gonna be there he wont be dead!' Eren ran straight toward the door only to see it wide open no cars in the driveway either. So his parents were not home.
