On Erens side it was completely different, well in most aspects anyways. Eren would go to school, he wasn't popular but he didn't really avoid people. He had a few friends but only a couple. His grades weren't perfect like Armins but he was passing at least. Eren had just started working to make money to see Armin at a restaurant. Armin was 16 at the time and Eren was 17 and soon going to be 18. Erens friends all found it weird that Eren liked a boy that lived country and was younger than him. It wasn't as much because Eren was with a boy, they new he was for a while even though he wouldn't admit it.
As Eren was walking back from his job he dreaded going home, he hated it. His dad was an asshole and took all his anger on Eren and Erens mom Carla. He had an older adopted sister but she was in college already. Eren slowly walked into the house knowing what was coming. His father Grisha was standing by the door giving a pissed look. Yep, he was definitely getting in trouble.
"Where the fuck were you?" Grisha asks sternly.
"...working, I've been working this past week" Eren answers calmly
"Why the fuck was I not told?" Grisha asks even more pissed.
Eren shrugs and starts walking upstairs. "Dont you fucking disobey me child" Grisha yells grabbing Erens arm. "Where the fuck do you think you're going?"
Eren sighs "to talk to my boyfriend, now let go I'm not a child I'm about to be 18" he says trying to pulls arm away. Grisha began beating him which he did often. After he did he'd make sure Eren was submitting then just leave him there. After he was done he looked at Eren angrily. "Why haven't I met this boyfriend yet?" Grisha says with a threatening tone.
"Because be lives across the country" Eren answered calmly again. Grisha gets pissed again and kneels down in front of him and puts his hand Erens shirt scratching Erens back from the bottom of his back to his shoulders to the point where he started to bleed. Eren bit his lip hard, making that bleed also. He could take the usual beating but he hated this. It was different and his father new that. If you were to tourture Eren the worst way, that'd be it for him. Eren started to tear up whimpering. "Is that why you're working? I bet you're doing it to go see him. I don't think so. Where is this boyfriend?" Grisha questions. Eren didn't answer his questions he didn't want to tell him where. Erens silence made Grishas anger grow. Grisha dug his nails in Erens back more. Eren could feel the blood dripping down his back and Grishas nails tearing up his skin. He couldn't bare it anymore and yelled out a random state that wasn't Armins. Grisha stopped and stood up looking at him.
"I don't want to see you on that laptop" he threatens before walking out and into the basement locking it behind himself. Eren ran upstairs into the bathroom locking the door behind himself. He tugged his shirt off quickly and started shaking putting his hands on the sink and slouching over it trying not to cry. "I'll just talk to Armin when he's not home he mumbles taking his clothes off and turning on the shower. As he got in he could feel the hot water his his back, sliding through the deep scratches in his skin. He shivered at the feeling. He hated it. Eren knew Grisha knows that that's his weakness, not only does it hurt him but it makes his hormones go all out of whack. "Damn it..." He sighs
