I just watch as everyone praises Armin for his smartness. Everyone loves his company. He always got along with everyone, he always fit in. Everyone liked him. Then here I am, I'm the one everyone stays away from. I always do things by myself and only for myself. I was strong, so I didn't need anyone, but myself. I didn't need to get close with anyone, I learned my mistake doing that.

But why was I jealous? Maybe I missed the company of others. Maybe I missed the feeling of happiness, but I didn't want to get hurt again. I remember that that day like it was yesterday.

1 Week Ago

"Come on Y/n! Your too fast!" Lyla said. She was my bestfriend ever since we were 3 years old!

"Oh come on! That basket of sticks can't weigh you down that much! Your house isn't even that far from here!" I chuckled.

"Uh, I was not meant to be this active." We both laughed, but we quickly rushed home.

We lived next to eachother, so we got to see eachother everyday. Our parents went out, so it was just us alone in the house. We were both 15, and we knew how to take care of ourselves. Our mothers taught us everything, and my dad taught us how to defend outselves, but I like to say that he taught us how to fight.

When she came over, we drew eachother. Both of us were very talented in art, but we had our own styles. Our drawings looked exacally like each other.

"It's so beautiful!" She held it close to her chest, and then gave me the drawing of me.

"Wow, this can't be me! This girl is too beautiful!" I stared at the drawing.

"Y/n, you better believe it becuase it is you! Your very beautiful!" Lyla gave me a small punch at ny shoulder for fun.

"Your very beautiful too! I can't have all the attention!" We both laughed.

As soon as we settled down, we heard screams, and what seemed like the wall breaking. I quickly went to the window, and saw those creatures entering through the broken wall.

"Lyla, we need to go!" I folded both the drawings and put them in my sweater pocket. Then I grabbed her hand.

"Wai-"

"Now!" Then we ran out if the house and made our way to boats that carried people to the other wall.

"Y/n, it's too far, we will never make it." She started to slow down.

"Come on, we can make it! Just keep running!" I didn't want us to die, but Lyla had lost hope. We both were scared to death.

Suddenly, a titan came out of no where. It had a huge smile on it's face and it had short blond hair. We passed this one already, and it already at a woman. It was coming after us now. We ran like hell! It kept reaching for us with it's long arms.

A large peice of stone hit Lyla's ankle and broke it.

"AH!" She fell to the ground. "My ankle!" She cried. "Y/n, you need to go without me, and don't look back."

"No! I won't leave you! I can't another person I care about! What if our parents are still alive!" I tried my hardest to fight back tears, but they won the battle.

"How are you going to take me with you! I can't even walk! Ah! It hurts so much!" She cried even harder from the pain.

"But I can just carry you and run!" I was so desperate to keep her alive.

"I will just slow you down!" The titan was far away from us, but it was getting closer.

"But I don't want you to die!" I hugged her tight, amd she also did hugged me tight. "Your the only Person I have left."

"You still have those drawings, right?" She cried, but smiled.

"Yes." I said sobbing.

"Good. This is the last time I will see your beautiful face, and I want this last moment to be of you smiling." I tried my best to smile. "There it is, thats the smile I love to see. Here take this." She took of her necklace and gave it to me.

"Now I'll always be with you." She put her hands on my cheeks to wipe my tears and smiled. "Live for me." I nodded my head and looked at her one last time.

"Goodbye, I love you." I cried again.

"Goodbye, I love you too." She smiled and cried. "Now go!"

I quickly ran away whiling looking back. I saw the titan pick her up and bite into her. Her kiwwr half was gone and I could see her face. I could see the dry tears. Her blood splattered in the air. I crued even harder, but there was no going back. I had to live for both of us.

I ram and ran with that image still stuck in my head. My best friend died right infront of me and I don't know where our parents are. I was in a mess, but I made it too the boats.

I was let onto a boat and carried inside of the other wall. Once I got off the boat, I quickly went to search for my parents and Lyla's parents, but there was no luck in finding them.

I am alone.

End Of Flashback

I clenched that necklace as tears streamed down my face. I kept the drawings in the small coat pocket of my scouts uniform. I don't want to get hurt like that again, so I stayed away from everyone. Even though I did things for myself, I did things for her also.

Yet, Armin had all his best friends with him. He wasn't alone. Thats why I hated him so much.

I have myself, this necklace, and these drawings, but that's all I need.
