[Armin’s POV]
~FOLLOWING MORNING~
I woke up again, but today I am much much happier. I get to see my new friend Eren again. He told me I could sit with him at lunch today with him and his friends. But I don’t mind as long as Eren is there. He also told me to meet him at the library this morning and after school today. I can’t wait to see him!
I get out of bed and grab clean boxers, dark blue skinny jeans, and a Hetalia shirt from my closet before running to the bathroom and taking a quick shower. After getting out and getting dressed, I walk into my room and put on socks and my black converse and yet again, my favorite over-sized blue sweater to hide my cuts. I then go into the bathroom and brush my teeth and my hair making sure it looks nice. Yes, I want it to look nice for Eren.
I grab my bag and run out the front door and make my way to school. While I’m running to hurry and meet Eren, I trip and fall onto my face… Great… I sit up and wince at the pain while tears start to form. I had realized I have road burn on my cheek, my hand is scratched up, my knee is probably bruised and I ripped a hole in the elbow of one of my sleeves.
I stand up and walk the rest of the way wiping any tears that threaten to fall. I hope this isn’t the start of a bad day, is the only thought I have as I arrive to school. I enter the building and immediately get slammed into the lockers.
I clench my eyes shut feeling a sharp pain shoot through my back and my head. “Dammit…” I mutter under my breath bringing my hands up to hold my aching head. Then my hands are pinned above my head and my eyes shoot open to see the leader of my bullies. His name is Jean. Forgot to introduce the bastard…
Jean then started to drag me somewhere without a word. “Leave me alone! Let me go!” I yell struggling to get out of his grip but I end up having my wrists squeezed tighter so I let out a yelp of pain.
“Just shut up.” He said in a low growl but I ignore him and continue yelling and struggling. Bad decision… He slams me against a wall and punches me in the stomach really hard. I widen my eyes as tears start falling. “I told you to f***ing shut up didn’t I!!” He yells at me as I slide down the wall to the floor and start crying.
At that moment I hear yelling and a pair of footsteps coming our way. Jean is hovering over me yelling then I feel Jean’s presence disappear and a new one appear. I keep my eyes closed and just stay in a small ball listening to Jean and another voice. I feel I’ve heard it before…
“Get away from my Armin! Didn’t you learn your lesson when I beat your sorry ass yesterday?!” Did he just call me HIS Armin? Then I hear Jean’s heavy footsteps run off.
I sit there against the wall in tears then I hear the sweet voice of… Eren?! So Eren’s the one that called me HIS Armin? I then feel a soft touch on my chin lifting his face up to my look up at him.
“Hey, don’t cry. Its ok, I’m here now and I will make sure he never comes back.” Eren say to me sweetly as he wipes my tears away but I can’t stop crying. Then Eren pulls me into a warm hug and rubs my back as I cry into his chest.
“E-Eren. I-I just want to g-go home. I-I’ve had such a b-bad day.” I gasp between sobs gripping his shirt in my fists.
“I know I know. But it’s ok now because I’m here with you and here to protect you.” He whispers to me sweetly as he rubs circles on my back and stroke my hair as I start calming down and catch my breath. “If you would like, I can take you to your house… or mine.” He says the last part to where it’s barely audible but I could hear him. I start blushing and glance up at him and see him blushing as well. I giggle and blush harder resting my head against his chest.
“Can you take me to the nurse so she can call my grandpa?” I ask him as I start feeling sleepy from crying.
“Of course, I can uh, ya know, go with you if you want. Just to protect you and stuff!” He says laughing nervously. I just giggle.
“My grandpa wouldn’t mind at all if you came with me. Honestly. He would be happy I’m bringing a friend home.” I say in a low voice. Then we hear the bell go off signaling the start of classes. I sigh not wanting this moment to end. Eren then pushes away from the hug and stands up offering me a hand, which I gladly take.
“Now let’s go to the nurse.” He gives me that heart melting smile helping me up grabbing both of our backpacks that were tossed to the side. He then takes my hand again and leads me to the nurse. I blush the whole way looking at our hands smiling.
~TIMESLIP TO THE NURSES OFFICE~
I sit on the little bed as the nurse gathers the supplies to clean and wrap up my wounds. She’s going to find out I cut! Dammit! Is all that rolls through my head as she rolls over on her chair setting the bandages and cleaning alcohol on a little table.
“Can you please take off your sweater dear?” She asks in a sweet tone.
“I-I’m really ok. I can clean them at home.” I say with a small smile really not wanting her to find out because then she will tell my grandpa, And Eren will find out because he’s sitting in a chair next to the bed I’m in.
“They will get infected Armin. Just take off your sweater and let her clean them.” Eren says and the nurse nods. “We wouldn’t want you to get sick dear.” The nurse adds on. I sigh and grab the bottom of my sweater lifting it over my head slowly letting it fall beside me. Tears weld up in my eyes as I see the nurse’s and Eren’s eyes widen.
“Armin…” I hear Eren say in a low whisper. The nurse takes my wrists gently and looks over them.
“Did you do this Armin? I need you to be honest with me.” She says in a more stern and serious tone. I just nod and start crying. Then I feel someone sit beside me and pull me into a warm hug along with small sniffles. I look over to see Eren staring at my wrists with tears falling…
(A/N Sorry for the long wait. I started school 4-5 weeks ago and I had to get ready to move. I’m at my grandma’s house until me and my family move into one of our own. So I will try to get a few chapters done before I start up school again.)
