The Killer

Chapter 14

"HEY YEAGER ! COME OVER HERE!!"

I ignored them by walking faster.

"COME HERE NOW!"

They said as they started going after me. I walked even faster and ended up running.

"If you stop running we'll be kind to you, Yeager !"

That's not true. They never do. Even if I stopped, they would beat me up anyway. I can still try to run away, right ?
I was panting and didn't have any issues. In front of me was the school's wall and behind me were my bullies.

"Were you really trying to run away from me, Eren ?"

"I...uh...no... I was just...umm...exercising !"

What an excuse...
They laughed at my pitiful attempt at lying. I'm not that good of a liar anyway. I backed away while, on the other hand, they were coming closer.
I started shaking. Jean smirked,

"I didn't even touch you and you're already shaking so bad !!"

My back was against the wall. I had two options:
1-Stay here like the weak and defenseless boy I am and get beaten up.
2-Try to climb up this wall and in case I fail they will beat me up.
Well they'll beat me up anyway so I better try climbing up this damn wall, right ?
I started climbing, with a lot of difficulty, but I managed to get on the top. The wall isn't THAT high anyway.

"Eren. Come. The fuck. Down. NOW."

"N-No..."

"What ?! Did you actually said "no" to me ?!"

"N-no... I mean...I would like to come down but...*inaudible whisper*"

"Say it louder, Yeager !"

" I said I'm stuck !! I'm scared of heights, okay ?!"

What an idiot... why did I climb up there ? Oh that's right, it was to avoid getting beaten up. But now I'm stuck on a Fucking wall. While the other were throwing things at me to make me fall off, I looked at the other side hoping there was something I could jump on without breaking my bones.
I was surprised to find someone looking back at me.

"Hey! Boy ! Jump and I'll catch ya !"

"W-What...? But... what if you don't catch me...?"

"Maybe you have a better idea like getting hit by stuff, fall off and maybe break some of your bones if not all of them"

I shook my head and looked back at Jean and his friends. I'm just gonna trust a man, I don't even know, with my life. Getting better, Eren Yeager.

"C-catch me, okay ?"

"Yeah, just jump!"

I finally jumped and shut my eyes , waiting for the ground and pain to hit me.

"It's okay, I got you."

I heard a soft and reassuring voice saying to me. I slowly and carefully opened my eyes only to meet the blue ones of the man who just saved me.
