Eren's messed up life (Levi x Eren)

Eren Jaeger

~ Eren's POV ~

"Hey Eren!" Shit! "Where you running gay fag!?"

I inhale a deep breath and breathe it back out slowly, steadying my pace outside the park. I understand I'm not wanted in the world and understand I ruin people's lives, but I can't bring myself to leave.

I'm fifteen year's old, in year ten and go to Titan High.

I live by myself after my mother and father got in a car accident, me at the age of nine. They both had severe head damage that they died from during the other car's impact.

I lived with my older sister, well she was adopted, Mikasa Ackerman, for three months but depression got the best of her when she committed suicide by running out in front of a speeding car. I never knew she was suicidal, I knew she was depressed, like me, but she always stayed strong and happy, smiling 24/7 — well she did once smile, though that's a smile I'll never again see.

My old friend Armin got his Grandpa to take me in, however when he passed away Armin was moved to Japan to live with his Aunt, me being eleven and him twelve.

Obviously, by all my luck, he died during his trip there when someone 'accidentally' tripped him up, him falling over the yellow warning line at the train station only to end up on the floor before a moving train. His family felt bad for me and tried taking me in, but I didn't want, nor need their pity so I did what I thought was for the best. I ran away.

That night I ran, jogged and walked for two whole days straight. Hitch hiking around five different cars and, within time, ended up in a small town called Wall Maria.

The last couple in which drove me there tried taking me as well, but when I thought, and knew, I'd only bring them suffering, I thanked them and left.

They gave me some money, just enough to get me some shelter and food to survive off for a few weeks. I told them I'd repay them in the future, but they denied any. They also said her son lived here 'Levy' I think? And that he's around my age and I should look out for him though I didn't catch the last name so after weeks and weeks of searching the street's of Wall Maria I gave up looking for him and began work.

I work in a very bad place, one in which I wish I'd never entered. I have lived in Wall Maria for two to three years now, myself starting the town's high school; Titan School..

"Oi, Jaeger!" I hate it when they call me by my last name. "Boy's you know what to do."

That was my signal. School had just ended and I wasn't even half way home until I crossed paths with Jean Kirstein and his mate's. Jean was in the same year as me. He's got short, chocolate brown hair, dyed slightly blonde and is a few inches taller than me.

He had one hand in his blazer pocket the over one hooked around his girlfriend's shoulder, Annie Leonhart. Annie was a skinny boned girl with long tatty blonde hair,which covered her sky blue eyes, though looks can be very deceiving as she's very strong.

Both Annie and Jean where the popular one's of the school, from what I know, Jean's the school's strongest, I can handle anyone else, but these guys.

"So how's little mummy's boy?" Jean taunts.

He knew about my life when he decided to snoop around in my school report's the first week I came and news spreads fast that everyone know's. I stare pitifully into his hazel eyes colliding my fist into his right cheekbone making him stumble back, grunting in pain, as his hands rub his now bright red cheek.

"Twat!" He cries out, me looking away, my back now turned to him, sprinting as fast as I possibly could. With all said and done, my legs were not one's I have faith in, them not fast enough to outrun, "Reiner! Go!"

I scurry across the play field, the grass long enough to reach my knees although I was not even half way across when I'm harshly tackled to the ground by Reiner, the school's fastest runner.

"Aha Knob! Thought you could outrun me? Think again!" Reiner chuckles, his breath panting against my neck.

He pushes my arm's to the top of my back, nearly breaking them, until he finally let's go of the now panting me and stand's up. Him leaving me abandoned, laid out on the field, my face squashed into the long, damp grass. Rolling over onto my back trying to recollect my breath, life couldn't get much worse for me when a foot slams straight into my chest, my breath disappearing that very second.

"Who do you think you are!" I hear Jean's voice boom out over the play field.

I just laughed.

"Eren Jaeger, who else?" I say cockily, yet karma's, being an ass, has it that I get a fistful of knuckles to my cheekbone. Grunting out in pain he puts all his weight on his knee, which is now upon my chest, making me gasp desperately for breath.

"Well Jaeger, I think your a boy who need's to be disciplined."

My eye's widen when two rough hands wrap themselves around my neck, his thumb pushing down on my windpipe. Clawing at his hand's, my nails digging deep into his flesh, tears slip from my bloodshot eyes.

I know what I need to do.

Looking up at him through blurred eyes, I innocently stammer; "pl-ea-please... Je-Jean!" He just smirks.

I let my body drop down like a dead weight, my hands dropping numbly to my sides and slowly, falsely, begin closing my heavy feeling eye's. Him chuckling above me soon tightens his grip making sure what he started is soon to be finished. Knowing better than moving or showing any signs I'm alive, I stay still.

Seconds later, I'm guessing he think's I'm dead, he let's go of me and lifts himself up, walking away; I'm guessing back to his friends.

Me mouth begs to open and suck back needed breaths, but I stop myself, trying to keep still, paralyzed, because I can still feel his and more peoples presences besides me.

"Di-did you kill him?" Annie asks in a worried tone, this making me want to snort out a laugh at the fact that's she's worried the minute she think's I'm dead. "Jean?..."

Someone, unknown to me for my eyes stay shut, kneels down besides me, their heat radiating off their body and onto me. Sensing their body lean over me, I feel something brushing my small parted lips to allow air. Stopping the air from coming in I hold my breathe, keeping my cool as the person moves away and pushes two fingers down on my neck.

In a way I was quite happy that whenever I used to look for a pulse I could never find one and I guess neither did they when the person quickly pulled away, cursing.

"Je-Jean you, you killed him!" I heard the shock voice whisper/yell out, the person none other than Reiner.

"Good!" Was Jean's reply.

"You could get done for this!"

"Well are you planning on telling?" They all stiffened, feet shuffling besides my body, all absolutely quiet. "No? Didn't think so. Let's go."

"What about the body?" Annie asks, curiosity in her voice.

"Leave it."

"But they'll find the fingerprints..." Stupid Marco, Jean best friend blurts out.

"True, well idea's?"

"River?" Annie suggests.

No Jean don't do it please ! I-I can't swim, I'll drown! You wouldn't, would you?

"Maria's Flow. Nobody ever goes there, good idea Annie." He speaks, a smirk visible through closed eyes on his face. "Reiner pick him up." He then orders.

I don't move, I don't dare. If I move they'll kill me there and then but if I don't I'll die anyway...

Though it was all too late when I'm flung onto Reiner's bony shoulders and taken away. Taken away to my death...
