The Secrets Within (AOT - Eremin Fanfiction)

Chapter 19

Eren POV

"Is he okay?"

"What happened?"

I heard several whispers. I fluttered my eyes open and saw Sasha, Marco and Jean looking over me. I shot up and everyone started fussing over me.

"Hey no sit back down!"

"Eren you have to rest!"

"What happened?"

I jumped out of bed ignoring their questions. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I was wearing the same wrinkled clothes and my hair was everywhere.

No.

"Eren?" Sasha asked from the doorway with Marco and Jean looking from behind her.

"It wasnt a dream was it?" I looked at her and asked.

"W-What?"

"Armin. Hes missing right?"

"Well... Y-Yeah..."

I bashed my fist on the bathroom counter. I quickly ran to the front door with everyone following.

"Wait, Eren where are you going!?" Marco grabbed my sleeve.

"I need to go to the hospital to look for clues!!" I said.

"But thats what the police are for." Jean said.

"Do you really think the police are going to help?" I asked.

"Well-" He tried to talk but I was on a roll.

"Listen Jean," I took a step towards him. "The police have a million other things to do that mostly include doing one little investigation and if they dont find anything they drop the case. The police cant help us in this situation. Theyre probably going to wave it off as 'Oh another 23 year old thats run away' but no. I know somethings wrong. Its not like him to do this. I need to do something before its too late. I cant let my boyfriend die!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes.

They all stared at me, and after a few seconds Jean nodded.

"Ill drive."

"Im here to pick up my boyfriends stuff." I told the nurse who was blocking our way.

"But hes still here."

"What?" I looked over her shoulder to an empty room.

"Hes still signed in so you dont need to pick up his things." She looked at me with suspicion.

"Im here to visit." I sighed in frustration. Sasha flicked my ear to remind me to be polite.

"Alright." She kept staring at me and let us in.

I immediatly went to the side table where Armins drawing pad laid. The others started looking around the room. I took his book and placed it on my lap.

"I know I promised I wouldnt..." I mumbled, and opened the sketchbook.

There was a note under the first drawing in there.

'Met a troubled guy at work today. I feel bad for him.'

I chuckled to myself because I knew that he was talking about me. The drawing was two kids in bubbles, a girl and a boy with a coffee cup in the middle. They had these cool auras everywhere and little symbols and althought it was confusing but I understood. The girl was him, and the guy was me. The coffee represented the coffee shops and the auras and symbols represented our sides.

I was suprised I understood it.

There were other pictures, not all were so difficult to understand. The one on the next page was captioned:

'I fail everything.'

It was a picture of a house and his wrists, cut to shreds.

A few pages later I saw an extremely detailed picture of Armin pushed up against a car and I was grinning in his face. I instantly remembered...

The gardening.

"Ive paid, now shutup." I grinned in his face, my eyes flashing to look at his lips. Man I was falling hard. He was so adorable, and his innocent and scared look was adding to his cuteness scale. I looked into his blue eyes and almost couldnt control myself from leaning in, but instead I settled with a flick of his nose. He seemed flustered after that, which almost made me wish I did kiss him.

I smiled to myself thinking of that moment. It seemed like he remembered it too.

Every page showed every moment.

The fight, the kiss, the time when I was drunk, the fight, everything. Armin had written and drawn everything, and he was fucking skilled at drawing. This was amazing.

"Eren." Jeans voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Y-Yeah." I quickly closed the book and walked over to him.

"No nothing, you just seemed lost in thought."

I rolled my eyes. "Eren." Sasha called me.

"Yeah?" I asked from where I was standing.

"Get your ass over here." I walked over to her.

"Yeah?"

She held up a hair infront of me. It was a long brown hair but it wasnt Sashas because she had a reddish tinge.

"Was there anyone thats included in one of your situations with this coloured hair?" She asked.

I instantly thought,

Ymir.

"Your not one of us." Connie said, pushing me away from the group.

"W-What?" I asked.

"Wow, youre right. He is pathetic." A girl emerged from them.

"A g-girl!?" I stuttered.

"Yeah. Meet your replacement, Ymir. Shes more of a man than you are." Connie said, laughing along with everyone else.

"That bitch." I said outloud.

"What, who?" Sasha asked.

"Shes gunna pay." I mumbled.
