3RD PERSON POV:
Eren winced and groaned as he sat up in bed sore from the previous days beatings. He slowly kicked his blanket off and trudged to his bathroom to see the damage. When he got to the bathroom he mustered up the courage to finally look in the mirror at the reflection staring back at him, what he saw made him want to cry but instead he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
Eren's pov:
Even moving my arms managed to make me tear up but I bit my lip and looked away from the ugly sight in front of me.
I'm so freaking pathetic, if only I was stronger maybe then I wouldn't have to bother with stuff like this...maybe then I could get rev-
My thoughts were cut off as I heard footsteps heading towards my room. I quickly turned on the shower, shut my bathroom door, and locked it just as I heard Mikasa walk into my room.
"Eren?"
"Yeah Mikasa, what's up? I'm in the shower right now. What'd you need?" I yelled hoping she would actually believe me.
"Oh no nothing, I just came to tell you to wake up and get ready for school, otherwise you'd probably make us late again like yesterday. Also I made breakfast so hurry up so you have enough time to eat"
"Oh okay, yeah thanks Mikasa I'll be out in a few minutes"
"Alright, hey Eren?"
I sighed quietly and pinched the bridge of my nose, why the hell can't she just go back downstairs already?
"Yes mikasa, what is it?"
She was quiet for a moment before she answered, "Eren are you alright?"
The question shocked me, she doesn't know right?? She can't possibly know maybe I'm just being paranoid... I bit my lip and tried to sound normal, "yeah, I'm fine just tired. Look I'll be down in a few minutes don't worry."
"Alright, if you say so I just had a weird feeling so I thought I'd ask. Anyways I'll see you down there in a bit." I quietly pressed my ear to the door listening for footsteps, when I heard her close my door and sighed and looked in the mirror again.
I grimaced as I saw the huge bruises covering my body starting from the base of my neck all the way to just past my waist. I sighed again and stripped off my shorts and boxers as I jumped into the shower.
The thing I love about showers is you get to stand there and have personal time to think of about life, which let's be honest mine didn't seem to be going so well lately. I reached over for my shampoo and realized something as I did, shit that's right my essay is due today ugh I'm not going to hear the end of it from Mr. Zacharius.
I sighed again dreading school and dreading class. I quickly finished showering and dried off wrapping the towel around my waist as I walked out to my dresser and grabbed jeans and a long-sleeved turtleneck shirt. After I got dressed I heard my phone chime and I grabbed it reading the text from Mina.
"Hey Eren, sorry to bug you so early but connie called in sick today, you're the only one able to pick up his shift tonight so I need you here by 4:30 p.m."
I sighed again and replied "sure thing Mina I'll be there around 4:20" I stuffed my phone in my pocket, grabbed my things, fixed my hair, and accidentally knocked over a glass of juice that was on my desk. I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning and cleaned up the mess mumbling, "god can this day just end already?"
