Levi's PoV

The doctor comes out into the waiting room and walks towards us.

God, please let Eren be okay...

"I'm afraid I have some bad news..." the doctor looks at us.

I begin to cry as he says the words, "We were too late..."

My world around me seems to stop. I hear a ringing in my ears, and I feel tears stream down my cheeks. This can't be...

I look over at Erwin to see he is crying too.

Why... why did this have to happen... The poison was meant for me... Why didn't I get to it first? He didn't deserve this... not at all... I loved him so much, yet I couldn't protect him... What kind of boyfriend am I...?

"Levi," Erwin says quietly. "Let's go back home. We need to call Mikasa..."

"Hanji needs to cancel the rest of the tour... We will have to help out Mikasa with money for the funeral..." I begin to shake even harder now.

The doctor asks Erwin a bunch of questions, and after giving him his number, we leave.

Erwin picks me up and carries me out of the hospital. I'm too weak to even stand... Eren had gone through this feeling when I left without telling him... I'm so stupid... He didn't deserve that, either... But he certainly didn't deserve to die... I'm glad Reiner is going to jail. He deserves it.

"Where is Eren?" Hanji asks as we get on the bus.

"Cancel the rest of the tour," Erwin demands.

"Do you mean he is...?" Hanji looks down at her feet.

"Yes..."

"I'm sorry, you guys... He didn't deserve any of this..." she pulls her phone out and begins to make phone calls.

Gunther and Oluo are silent as we pass by them. They just stare down at their feet.

Erwin takes me to the bedroom, and lays me down on the bed.

"He is gone, Erwin..." I cry. I close my eyes as Erwin shuts the door.

Erwin hushes me, and gently climbs on top of me. "Levi, look at me."

I open my eyes, and look up at him.

He gently wipes the tears from my face as he says, "I know how you feel right now... We are in the same boat, okay? I loved Eren just as much as you did... Well, maybe not as much, but I still loved him a lot."

"He didn't deserve this... He was too young..."

"I know, Levi... he would of said the same about you..." He gently lays down on me now and pulls me into a hug. "I'm really sorry for your loss, Levi..." he whispers in my ear.

"I'm sorry for yours, too, Erwin..."
