The Confession

CHAPTER 4

EREN'S POV

When I woke up it was early morning,"Man. What time is it?" I asked myself. I looked at my phone and saw 10 missed calls from dad and 1 missed call from mom. 20 missed texts from dad and 5 missed texts from mom,"Can't you see I don't want to go back." I said setting my phone down.

  "Why is that?" Erwin asked sitting up. I didn't know he was awake so it kind of scared me,"Erwin, your awake!" I jumped. He chuckled,"Yeah, sorry about snooping yesterday. I was going to walk in when I heard you yelling."

I nodded a reply and said,"I'm gunna go, my legs are asleep. If anyone comes in and I'm not back yet just say I went to go shower or something. I know I can't walk around, but I need to just calm down, ok?" Erwin waved me off and I gave him a smile,"Thanks."

 I left the room and went down the hall and took a right,"I thought I saw a music room somewhere around here." I said softly. Since no one lives around the music room no one will hear me play, I just need to get my feelings out and I don't feel like talking them out. So I might as well play, that's how I handled stress when I was little. When I finally found the music room no one was in, I crept inside and went near the window. I slowly moved the curtains out of the way a bit and opened the door of the window all the way letting in a gust of cold air, the moon light following with it.

  I looked over and saw the grand piano, my most favored thing in the world. I used to play the piano for my mother when I was little but when my dad started drinking he became angry with me. He would beat me for the simplest reasons, but since the bruises would always heal fast the cops had no proof of me being beaten. I hate my father, he let mom down and me as well but I never really looked up to him anyway. He destroyed my piano just to hurt me and to stop me from playing. But I didn't quit, I played at school and at music stores.

I got payed to play and bring in customers, I remember one time my mother was doing some Christmas shopping and found me playing in the mall with crowds of people videoing and recording me play. I looked up the video and saw something I hadn't seen in a long time, I was smiling. I was actually smiling, right then and there I knew I had to play the piano. Not just for me but to get enough money to rescue my mom from my father.

  I slowly walked up to the piano, swiping my finger over the top feeling the smooth surface a grin curving up in the corners of my lips. When I sat down and got the feel for the piano again I placed my fingers in the correct spot to play one of my most favorite songs of all time. Existance, it was one of the first songs I learned to play all by myself.

I made my way along the keys hitting each note precisely at the right time and hitting every correct key. The sound of the piano brought me joy and happiness, hearing it again reminded me of the good old days when my mother and I would sit out of the porch of our old house and listen to me play. We had a grand piano just like this one but my father...he, he destroyed it saying I didn't have the talent or I was wasting my time.

  I've always hated my father, but that day when he killed my dreams he mad my mother cry, and that's when I swore that I would save her from him when I get enough money. He would follow us if we stayed in the country, so we would have to fly and go some where far from Germany.

My eyes started swelling with tears but I didn't wipe them away. I wanted to finish the song and not mess up. I just closed my eyes tightly and listened to my music that my mother loved so much.

LEVI'S POV

"Levi! Levi! Psst, Levi! Wake up!" Erwin scream whispered. I sat up rubbing my eyes annoyed,"Erwin, its like 4 in the morning, what do you want!" I snapped. He looked around and said,"You need to see something. Hurry before he finishes." I didn't understand why he was up and walking around when we're not supposed to but if he was then it must be something important.
