Eren and I meet in the park fearful of people finding out about our relationship. I see him lying on the vibrant green grass staring at the clear blue sky. I lay next to him then I turn to give him a kiss on the cheek but he moves his head away.

"Eren is anything wrong?" I ask staring into the back of his head. "No Armin just... leave it" what is wrong with him? He probably wants to be alone. Standing he grasps my ankle then stands to face me.

"I'm sorry Armin but I just don't think this will work out" what? My whole world crushed. My mouth opens but I can't say anything. I begin to cry.

"I'm sorry but I just can't hide my relationship from everyone it just doesn't feel right."

I want to say I will tell people for you, however the guilt after seeing Mikasa yesterday still resides within me. Nevertheless, I must fight for our relationship.

"Eren please I love you! We can make this work!" his head shakes as a vibrant clear-blue tear falls from his eye. Crystal tears now streaming from both of eyes. "No Armin we can't. I will always love you! But you and I can't be a thing. I swear to you I still love you but I'm doing this for you as well as me. Now you don't have to hide anything. Aren't you tired of hiding?"

I want to fight him and salvage this relationship however I know he wouldn't change his conclusion.

"Eren, I love you but if this is what you want there is no point in debating this topic with you..." Eren looks deeply into my eyes. "Armin please forgive me" I burst with anger. "I didn't finish! I can't argue with you because you're a stubborn arse! Leave me alone forever I don't want to see you, hear from you or even hear people talking about you! You have broken me Eren there is nothing you can do to fix that!" I storm of before my steady flow of tears burst from my eyes into a waterfall.

Hastily I run to my cold dark room. I slam open the oak door causing splinters of wood to fly off. I flip my bed over breaking the fine wooden details on the head of the bed. Spotting the leather books under my bed I fill with rage! "I loved you! I obsessed over you! I had panic attacks over the fact of whether you would find out about my feelings! I planned my routes everyday just so I could catch a glimpse of you! All for nothing! Years of my life wasted!" I say as I tear the book apart page by page!

Tears poor from my face, the room started to become small. The walls pushed in on me. I felt enclosed trapped in this cage of anger and depression. My eyes begin to close, my vision blurs I fall to the ground limp. I fell asleep.

I awoke the next day. It was about noon. I enter the dining area, I look over to all my friends and staring back at me was Eren. I grab my food and sit down on the opposite side of the hall.

Exiting the room someone grasps me by the arm. I turn to see Eren.
