Chapter Eighteen:Manipulation Part Two

TW:Scars, self harm, offensive language 

Levi's POV

He let his arms drop only to reveal the large number of horizontal cuts now covering his forearm. His arms were covered in blood. He pointed to his phone. "That doesn't matter right now. We need to clean you up. I'm going to touch you. Okay?" He just cried. I went into the cabinet and quickly found bandages and other medical needs in and through them over.

"This might hurt a bit," I said and gently sprayed his arm with disinfectant. I took a warm washcloth and gently rubbed off the blood and quickly covered it up with bandages. Same for the other arm. He had stopped crying so heavily and was on his way of calming down. I put the supplies away and took the knife he had used off of the ground and put it on the bathroom counter. I took both of his hands in mine and gently brought them up to my mouth. I planted soft kisses on his fingers. "It's okay now Eren. What prompted you to do this?"

"They...it..they said it...." He said, shaking pointing towards his phone. I scooped it up off the ground. "Why don't we go sit in the living room.?" I said and stood up. I held out my hand to help him up and we walked downstairs. I grabbed him a box of tissues and we sat down. "I need to know what you're talking about." He told me the password to his phone and it opened up to his last conversation

1 888 ******: listen Eren. Slit your wrists 60 times and send a video to us or we shoot him in the head. Attachment. Pdf

I clicked on the off. It was a picture.. of me.

EREN: off video attachment.

I clicked on the video and it was what I expected. I could hear his sobs in the background.

I felt a rush of anger go through me. "Who the fuck did this. If I ever find out what low life tiny dick piece of shit fucking did this I will kick the fucking shit out them to they are an almost dead tie then up and leave their half-dead body at the bottom of this state's deepest fucking lake!" Shock filled Eren's face. "I'm sorry..." Eren mumbled just loud enough for me to hear. "No. Don't be. I'm going to find out what sick mother fucker did this to you and put them through eternal hell Don't fucking leave my side from now on okay?" He nodded and a single tear rolled down his cheek. Looking him in the eyes. "I didn't mean to scare you." I reached out and wiped the tears away. He took that chance to pull me in. He gave me a really tight hug, it took me a second,but I did hug back.

This gave me time to come to my senses. I lost all control. All over this kid. What the fuck. I don't understand why I cared so much. I think. I think......i..hes my best friend-. The only people I had trusted growing up were Erwin and Hange, and him. They were the only ones I called friends. My parents died when I was younger and I was left with all the inheritance, but a nice house wasn't the only thing I spent it on.
