Chapter Twenty-Five:

Questioning Regret:

TW: Violence, blood

Eren's POV:

I sat quietly and played on my phone, it was getting late and I was tired. I took a sip of some cold water and walked over to the sink in the bathroom. I ran cold water and splashed it in my face, in hopes of waking myself up. The library had such a calm atmosphere and the soft orange glow of the lights made me feel safe. That was what Levi wanted. A part of me said he just wanted me safe, and I did. When he was around I was comfortable and was always glad to see him. He made my days better, and I felt like I could tell him anything.

I hope one day he'll be able to do the same to me. Maybe we will still be friends after this is all over. I wanted to be friends with him, and I needed to be with him. I didn't understand love or what it was like to have a crush on someone, and after Levi's explanation I felt like you really had to experience it to truly know. It was clear he felt the same way. There was some kind of tension between us, and it wasn't awkward. I don't understand, I feel like my feelings are muffled.

I shut the light off and laid on the floor, and went to grab a book before I heard the door unlock. "Hey Levi!" I said and jumped to my feet. Something was off. He had a stone cold expression, one like I had never seen before, "Why is there...blood on your shirt..?" I asked quietly and approached him. He walked away and I followed him out into the living room. A camera on a tripod was set up facing the wide space behind the couch.

"W-what's that for..?" I became nervous, and the silence didn't help. A new tension had emerged and I didn't like it. He threw his knife to the side, and placed his gun on the coffee table. A thick red liquid covered the blade of the switchblade and I was left to assume it was blood. "Eren. You can hate me all you want after this, this will most likely be the only time you'll hear these words from me..... I'm sorry," He hit a button on the camera and a flash of light signaled that now it was recording.

He shot me a glare, and didn't explain. He rushed toward me and kicked me to the ground. Pain shot itself through my entire body. He swung his fist to my face, and feet to my body, blood started to drip onto his floor and I started to feel faint. I started to pant like a rabid dog. He didn't stop. He pushed my whole body onto the ground and I looked up at him. Blood dripped from all over my body and tears rapidly flowed down my cheeks. Why..? Why would he do this.? This wasn't like him!

I zoned out. Maybe this was the true Levi. Maybe this is the man he is...he could have been lying to me this whole time. It made sense, he wanted to use me and fuck up my life even more. That was inhumane. He was inhumane. He grabbed my hair roughly and released a harsh kick to my face, I coughed up blood as he threw my body to the side. I wailed out in pain and the pain of things all kicked in at once. Everything went black.
