//Armin POV//

"Armin."

I looked behind me. I was terrified. My father was there with his arms crossed. It scared me.

"Y-yes father?!" I said trying my best to smile.

"I heard you came to school late." He said with an edge in his voice.

"T-that was b-because I didn't know where t-to go!" I Said.

"No EXCUSES!" He said and slapped me.

//here comes the abuse part//

He grabbed my arm and started to drag me up the stairs.

I screamed for him to stop but all he did was yell at me. I felt helpless.

Once we were upstairs he threw me into my room.

"This will teach you." He said as he went into his room to get something.

I was scared and I wished Eren was there. But I couldn't tell him because then he would want to call the police.

As I lay there I think about Eren and what if he really was there. Would he really save me?

My father brought me out of my thoughts by hitting me with his whip. I yelped. It really hurt.

He kept on whipping and whipping it really hurt.

He whipped and whipped and whipped

I felt the big lashes they were rough.

My skin opened as new wounds appeared.

He turned me over and started whipping my chest. It hurt.

I saw the big cuts the whip left on my bare chest.

They bled more and more as more began to appear.

I really wished Eren was here.

It hurt but I didn't want him to worry. I wanted him to think that everything was just fine. I wanted him to know I was tough! But I'm not I'm just a weak, useless freak.

I felt my vision get fuzzy.

Was I just gonna die here?!

I thought as I closed my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes to my father nudging me. I jumped straight up and felt pain but tried to hide it.

"Armin your bratty friends are here hurry up and cover yourself. Or else..." he said while giving me a hard glare.

"Yes father!" I said as I hopped out of bed. He closed my door and I felt tears coming out. I put on a turtle neck with extra long sleeves, overalls that covered my legs entirely, and some shoes. I walked out and wiped my tears.

Eren practically ran to me and hugged me. It hurt but it felt good to be in his warm embrace.

I wanted to cry. I really did. But I held it together. We went to go yet some yogurt at the nearby shop. And we talked about random things. All the while they didn't know what happened to me that day.
