Don't you Know I Love you?

I feel someone grip my shoulder as I'm running home from Eren's house. I spin around and am met with a familiar blonde. "A-Annie? What are you doing?"

"Well I was going to Mikasa's house for a double date but saw Eren's date running away crying. I wouldn't just ignore it." She explains.

"I'm not Eren's date."

"Huh? I thought you two were..." She trails off.

"Not anymore."

"Oh, why'd you break up?"

"Reasons." I spin around again but Annie stops me... Again.

"Wait, what were you doing there, then? If you're not Eren's date."

"I wanted to talk."

"About?"

"Why I've been distant lately. Haven't returned any messages or calls. In fact, now that I think of it, we never officially broke up. So maybe I was there to do that." I shrug.

"I'm so sorry, Armin." She pulls me in for a hug and I have to resist the urge to cry. Yet, for some reason, I pull away from her when she says this and I don't know why but I just... got mad.

"No you're not! We barely know each other! And the first time we met you got mad at me for ignoring Mikasa! You know nothing about me!" I yell, stepping away.

"Who cares about how long we've known each other? You and Eren started dating only three days after you met!" I look at her surprised. "Eren talked about you a lot." She calms down a bit. "Time doesn't have to decipher feelings you have towards someone."

"Yeah, well, he seemed to move on pretty fast." I mutter, then walk off. I'm really glad that I don't hear footsteps following behind.

"Hey, hun, you're back early." I walk past Sarah and towards my room. "Sweetie, you okay?" I slam my door to let her know that I don't want to talk.
Plopping down on my bed I stare at the ceiling, in the same position as I was before I decided to go over to Eren's house and only ended up hurting myself more.
I don't even attempt to stop the tears spilling down as I think about the green eyed boy. I remember every single detail of his features. I remember exactly how his eyes would light up, especially when he asked me to be his boyfriend.

"I'd be stupid to say no."

"Yes, Ar, you would be! But you're not stupid, you're really smart!" He grabs my shoulders and starts shaking me.

"Well... I didn't do amazing on my last mock exam..." I decide to tease him a bit, but seeing how desperate his expression was, I decide to just give in. "Of course, Eren. I will be your boyfriend."

~~~

Yet I remember the way his eyes darkened as he asked me to stop hurting myself.

~~~

"Hey, it's okay. I understand." I smile at him as he wipes the rest of the tears away. "But Ar, can you do something for me?" I nod. "Can you not hurt yourself." I'm a little confused until he grabs my hands and looks at my wrists.

My scars. The ones I give myself. He saw them.

"Please, Ar," He whispers.
"For me."

~~~

That was right before he said he loved me. Underneath the stars on an empty bridge that sits over untouched waters. On the most beautiful night of my life.
