AOT: Forget and Forgive

Decisions, Decisions.

I just wanted to say that if you see the name Chrystal in the story, its Mystie, in my other AOT fan fiction Mystie is Chrystal. I think I got all of them, but just wanted to let you know just in case you see it in this chapter, or future ones.

Mystie's POV

"I have to go." I said I couldn't take it.

"Wait, what?" Armin asked, "Why are you leaving?"

"I just, this isn't for me, everything you told us, it isn't me, I don't want it to be, and I won't let it be."

"Why? You haven't even tried, maybe you'll love it."

"That's what I'm afraid of," I mumbled.

"What? Why are you scared of liking it?" Leena asked.

"Because...I..." I stuttered, I looked at Leena, I trusted her with this and Armin a little bit, but I didn't want Eren and Mikasa to hear. I looked up at Eren and Mikasa, silently hinting for them to leave. "Not in front of them."

"What?!" Eren yelled.

"Eren lets go," Mikasa said, taking a hold of his arm and dragging him out of the room.

"Ok, will you tell us now?" Leena asked.

"I'm afraid of liking it because it'll mean I'll want to stay, and you guys will want me to stay and I don't want to leave my old life. I mean, sure, my life is horrible right now, but I don't want to leave my friends and family."

"Wow, your right, I didn't think about that." Leena said, getting up to stand next to me. "What would we tell them?"

"You wouldn't have to tell them anything, you can still have your old life if you don't want to. You just have to say your doing something during the time we need you, like an after school activity or something." Armin said getting off the couch and walking over to us.

"Yeah, but that's lying, and I hate lying to my mother," I said.

"I know, and I'm sorry," Armin said, and he sounded generally concerned about how we felt. "Anyway, you don't even know if you like it or not, so worry about it after you've spent a week with us. One week, that's all were asking."

"Let us talk and we'll decide. Ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course, I'll be in the kitchen." Armin said and he left.

"Well, what do you want to do?" I asked Leena.

"I don't know, I mean, we could see it out, then decide if we want to stay and do or not." I suggested, "Just, what am I gonna say I'm doing?"

"You do an after school program, just say your doing that."

"That depends what time it is," I said, "I guess we'll do the one week on the schedule, then we'll see how we like it. On a trial bases."

"Ok, then its settled." Leena said and we headed the direction Armin left. "Do you know where the kitchen is?"

"No, how could I, this is the only room I've seen."

"We'll find it, eventually..."

Armin's POV

"You told them WHAT?!" Eren yelled. I had told them everything the girls said when they were gone. "You know we can't do that!"

"I'm sorry, but they can't live any other way, they have to live with us, and they wouldn't do it any other way." I explained they didn't like the fact that I told Mystie and Leena that they could still have their old life. "You should've seen their faces, they were crushed they would have to abandoned everything and everyone they loved."

"Armin, tell me you're not attached to them already?" Levi asked.

"I-I'm not, I-I promise," I stuttered, to tell the truth, I was, Mystie seemed amazing and Leena was pretty cool, to be honest, I was attached, I trusted them, they seemed okay.

"Armin, you know you're not allowed to become attached to them."

"I know, I'm sorry, I will try to separate myself from her." I said and then quickly added, "Them, I will separate myself from them."

"Her? Who? Which one are you attached to?" Levi asked.

"No one in particular, I meant them." I said nervous, and before I could say anything more, Levi had so quickly stepped in front of me, I didn't see it.

"Idiot," He said and before I could say anything to that he punched me in the face.

"Ow!" I yelled, stumbling backwards, holding my nose. "What was that for?" Levi didn't say anything, he just left.

"Finally, we found it." A familiar voice said from the doorway, I looked up to see Mystie and Leena standing in the doorway. At seeing them Mikasa and Eren left. "Armin, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said trying so hard not to say, no, and to tell her everything, because that's all I wanted to do, was to tell her everything. I wanted to tell her who did it, why they did it and then figure it out, but I knew I had to separate myself from them, Mystie especially. "So, what's your decision?"

"Were going to do the week, then we'll decided from there if we wanna stay for sure." Mystie said coming in the door. "You know, this place was really hard to find, should've told me where it was."

"Yeah, sorry," I said as I sat down in a chair. Mystie walked closer, and I knew I should've gotten up and left, but I couldn't, it was Mystie, she was beautiful and I couldn't look away from her.

"You sure you're okay?" She asked again, now standing right in front of me, bending down. "It looks bad."

"I'm fine," I said and it took all of my will power to get up and walk to the entrance to follow Eren, Mikasa, and Levi. I stopped before to say, "If you walk out the other door and down the hallway, to the right, up the stairs, down the first hallway, and it's the second and third door on the left."

Also, Happy Halloween everyone, hope you have a fantastic Halloween. I'm not having one so far, I'm sick, but trying to keep positive after a crappy week.
