Armin was hanging out with two if his closest friends, Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman. They were sitting outside at the local cafe.

"So Armin, I heard you got a girlfriend. Is it true?" Eren asked Armin.

"Hm? O-oh... yeah..." Armin lokked down, blushing.

"What's she like?" Mikasa asked, taking a sip of her tea.

"Kind, sweet... Beautiful... But she seems slightly... What's the word?" Armin rested his head in his hand.

"Crazy? Psycho? Deranged?" Eren asked, getting him a punch in the arm from Mikasa. "Ow..." He rubbed his arm and looked back at Armin.

"No, almost... Depressed..." Armin sighed.

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

"Has anything bad happened to her lately?" Mikasa asked.

"I think something might've..." Armin said softly.

"Is she an emo? Cause emo + depressed = self harm. At least that's what Jean told me." Eren shrugged.

"Y-y-yeah.... S-she is emo...." Armin looked up, terrified. "I've gotta go!" He stood up and ran off towards Cat's house. Izzy had given him a spare key, so he used it to unlock the front door. He looked around. It appeared to be empty. He shut the door and walked upstairs to Cat's room.

When he opened the door, his worst fears came true.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Cat was sitting on the carpet floors, sobbing. Her arms and legs were covered in bloody cuts. She had a couple bottles of pills, a handgun, and some rope layed out on the floor. Armin picked up her phone since he saw the blue LED light blinking.

'Damn...' Armin thought to himself. 'He must really be bothering her...' He set Cat's phone down, causing her to look up.

"A-Armin....? I-I... I'm so sorry!!" Cat sobbed. Armin ran over and hugged her, not caring about the blood that got onto him. He ran his fingers through her hair, calming her down.

"It's okay... I'm not mad..." Armin whispered to her. "Are you okay?"

"I-I'm not o-fucking-kay..." Cat replied.
"Do you wanna settle things in person with him?" Armin asked her.

"Yeah... But let's go there... I don't want them here..." Cat answered.

You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Armin picked up the pill bottles, handgun, and rope, walked them downstairs to the basement, and set them down on a table. He walked back upstairs and helped Cat to the bathroom to help clean her off.

"Are we gonna tell the others?" Cat asked.

"About what?" Armin looked up at Cat.

"Settling things with Kid..." Cat whispered.

"Yeah. I think it'd be best to have some if your other friends there." Armin moved the bloody towel away from Cat and set it in the sink.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

"Let's go as soon as possible. I can't take this anymore..." Cat sighed.

"Okay. In a week then. Okay? We'll need time to pack and get the plane tickets." Armin kissed Cat gently, not wanting to damage her in her fragile state. Cat kissed him back, blushing.

"Okay... Thank you Armin. I love you." Cat smiled at him.

"I-I love you too Cat." Armin smiled back.

You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
