AOT: Forget and Forgive

Trouble In Paradise

Mystie's POV

"Hey," I said to Leena as I met her at her locker after school. Everyday we met after school at her locker to go to training.

"Hey, how was your day?" She asked as she finished getting all of her stuff in her backpack.

"Normal," I said as she closed her locker and we started walking down the over crowded hallways. "You?"

"Same,"

"I wish we didn't have to go today." I complained, I hadn't seen or talked to Armin since Friday when it happened. I was scared to see him again, if I would, what I would say? What would I do?

"Me too," She said and we spent the rest of the walk through the hallways in silence. "Where are they?" She asked once we were outside, looking for the car that picked us up. Everyday it was disguised as a different car so we had to pull back the layers of the glamour hiding the Corp's limo. I looked around, trying to see around the seemingly never ending line of busses in front of the school.

"There," I said pointing to the limo. Once Leena saw where I was pointing we walked over and climbed in.

"We're here, yay," I said sarcastically as we climbed out of the car.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said and we walked through the doors and the first thing I saw was Armin. I stopped mid-step. He looked at who had come through the door and when he saw me he froze too. All I wanted to do was run to him, hug him and tell him how sorry I was, but for some reason I couldn't. I was still mad, I didn't want to be, but I was.

"Mystie?" Leena asked, I broke out of the stare and looked over at Leena, who was looking between me and Armin. "What happened this weekend?"

"Nothing, I'll tell you later."

"I'm gonna let you too talk." Leena said and walked away as Armin walked up to me.

"Hey," He said awkwardly.

"Hey,"

"Look, I'm so sorry; I know I was only thinking of me. I never should have done that."

"You're right, you shouldn't have done that."

"Can you forgive me?"

"I can, but I am still mad."

"I know, I should've just told you why I wanted to see you."

"What?"

"There was something I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't say it over the phone and I wanted to see you in person, it was urgent and I knew you wouldn't have come here other wise."

"Actually, if you had just asked and said that, I would've. You know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I love you."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"I love you too."

"Now, what was it you wanted to say?"

"It doesn't matter now."

"Doesn't matter? Doesn't matter?!" I said and I didn't have anything else to say so I left to meet up with Leena to get ready for training.
