Chapter 18 |Stop

Armin POV:

I found myself waking up with Eren I mean I wasn't too surprised. I heard his alarm going off over and over. I got up and shut it off. I sat up since I couldn't go back to sleep. I thought about my parents yet again. I knew they'd be pissed and beat me again. I just needed a break. Although I don't wanna be in trouble. I watched Eren sleep and held his hand close to me. He began waking up "What time is it" Eren said while rubbing his eyes. I looked at the time it was 7:42 "7:42 we will be late." Eren nodded and said "Let's skip school.. please Armin" I shook my head and said "no we can't come on now." Eren got up lazily and said "fine! Only cause you'll be there with me." I blushed lightly as I said "Then get ready come on I don't wanna be late and plus we have to turn in our project. Eren rolled his eyes and said "Fine!" He walked over to his closet snd handed me some clothes. "You'd look cute in these." He mumbled I laughed a bit as I went to go put them on. They were baggy but it was fine. We walked outside to his car as I sat in the front seat and closed the door. He began driving as he set the keys into the slot. He rolled the car into the school parking lot as we got out of the car and walked into the school doors. Jean and Sasha were sitting by our lockers "You guys are late and Mrs Ral isn't happy!" Jean said angrily. I nodded and said "Sorry.." I grabbed some things from my lockers and Sasha said "can't we just skip class and get some food or something I'm starving!!" Connie laughed at what she said "We just ate breakfast" Sasha nodded and said "I don't care I'm hungry now just sitting here is killing me!" I laughed at there conversation and Jean said "Armin what happened during the project your parents were-" before I let him finished I said "don't mention it please. Pretend it never happened" Jean looked at me with concern written all over his face "Tell me what happened we are your friends does Eren know? You can tell me trust me." I sighed "it's nothing even if they hurt me it doesn't matter the court doesn't give two shits-" shit I said that out loud!!! I didn't mean too "I mean- wait don't I mean I-" Jean then answered "So there hurting y-" I yelled "NO- TH-that's not it it slipped out i swear that's not- Just forget it!" I stormed out and walked to the library I'm gonna skip class today instead they probably think I'm weird now. I sat in the back of the library with my knees up to my chest and my head down in my knees. I cried for a little while to get my mind off things. I wanted to leave this cruel world so bad but because Eren I couldn't. It doesn't even matter anymore. I love Eren but I can't take it anymore. I sighed as i felt a warm hand on my head and engulfing me in a hug. I gasped in surprise of the surprise hug out of no where. It was Eren I saw him as I lifted my head up. "Armin it's okay, we can skip class as long as you want." I nodded to what he said as I began to cry into his chest. He then began the conversation "Wanna go to a secret place?" I nodded and stood up as he pulled my arm toward the door. I didn't do anything about it or have a say in it I just let him lead me to the "secret place" he walked upstairs into an attic and toward a room. My eyes widened as he opened the door. "Like it?" Eren said as he stared at me. I looked at the view of the roof of our school and nodded as I looked back at his mesmerizing emerald green eyes. "I love it." He smiled and blushed deeply as he lead me toward the edge. "Woah!" I said nearly falling tripping on my shoe as he grabbed my arm pulling me a little farther. "Sorry I didn't mean to almost make you fall." I then calmly said "no I tripped on my shoe" I laughed a bit as we sat down. We talked for a long time as I laid my bruised up body against his tuff one. He was nicer than anyone I'd ever known and he was the person I'd loved and wanted to be with for the rest of my life. Eren held me close as we heard someone come up it was vice principal Ackerman. "Excuse me Armin and Eren!" He said as he said the name Eren his voice deepened in a mean tone. "You aren't allowed up here and for skipping classes that's a detention now get your asses to class I'll see you after school.." Mr Ackerman said. I stuttered through out my sentences as I tried to say "I can't go to detention!" I just couldn't because my parents would be mad that I was late. Tears formed in my eyes as I wanted to tell everyone who asked me if I was okay that I wasn't but I knew I couldn't do that. Mr Ackerman spoke up "get your asses their now! I'll see you in my office get moving."his hand moved toward the exit as he pointed for us to go. We walked to his office as I got closer to Eren as we held hands their. Tears began pouring down my cheeks as I couldn't stop crying I didn't wanna be hurt anymore when would it stop when will it stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.stop.
I couldn't wait to leave this cruel world all I wanted was Eren. Mr Ackerman sat us down in his office as he spoke "it's nothing to cry about it's just for a few hours after school alright." His tone softened and he had a concerned face as I wiped my tears and said "my parents.. will hurt me-" I said in a shaky voice not realizing what I just said. Mr Ackerman looked at me
With even more concern "What do you mean?" I covered my mouth and mumbled "Never mind!" I kept my eyes on Eren and Eren only as Mr Ackerman forcefully moved my head to look at his face and make eye contact "Are you.. being harmed at home." He hesitated before saying. I slowly nodded as he let us both off the hook he said "I'll be calling CPS to check this o-" I then said "It won't work we even had a court trial.." my voice was quiet. Eren was listening to us speak as he moved into the conversation "Armin could stay with me for now we can get better police." Eren insisted. Mr Ackerman said "The police will learn to do their fucking job soon.. now get your asses to class and stop skipping." We both nodded and left the room.
