I wake up, and it's still dark outside. I head towards school even though I look like a mess, well, I always look a mess so hopefully I don't stand out.

"Hey Eren..." Armin says.

"Hey Armin! What's up?"

"Eren, there's a rumor going around, that you tried to kill yourself..."

Damn, news travels fast.

"Haha and you believe that, come on Armin you know be better."

"Don't lie!" I haven't heard Armin yell like that before, "Why haven't you told me about anything, I thought I was your best friend!" He seems like he's about to cry.

"Armin, you are my best friend, but I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Eren! Stop lying!" He pulls out his phone and he shows me a picture, and I completely forgot that the kid took a picture until now.

"Armin..." I reach out to touch him, but he yells, "Don't touch me!" And he runs off.

I don't know what to do, I feel like crying again,  I mean my best friend is angry at me, I know he's concerned for me, but still.

I head towards class, and there are many whispers as I'm walking, and I know they're obviously talking about me.

Wait, what if the teachers know about it, then I shouldn't head to class, right?

I stop, and I turn around. The halls are empty by now, so there's no more whispering.

I head towards the roof, the cool air hitting my face, I go towards the edge, and I think that I could totally jump right now, I mean no one would care, right?

I sit on the ledge, my feat dangling on the side.

I sit there, just letting the breeze hit my face, and I stay on the roof till school ends.

"Eren!" It's my dad, what does he want? Why is he saying my name so sweetly, and why is he saying my name at all?

I head towards the living room, and in there is my dad and someone else.

"Welcome home Eren! This person is from your school." He says smiling an obviously fake smile.

I look around, and the home is surprisingly neat and clean, probably because this person from my school is here.

"Hello Eren." The man says smiling, and I nod my head and sit down next to dad, I obviously know what he's here for.

"I'm here to discuss about recent events, I have heard a rumor about a student almost committing suicide, I looked into it and I heard it's you. I've come here to help you." He finishes with another smile, and I just nod my head yes while looking down, since I can't say anything.

He writes down his number, and hands it to me, and says, "Call me whenever you need to." And he leaves.

Once he's gone, my dad immediately turns to me with his usual expression.

"You. Are. Done. For."

When I wake up, it's the next day, I've been passed out since the guy left yesterday.

I try to get up, but I can't, I can't move my body at all, and I can't feel anything. I try again, but it doesn't work, my whole body is numb.

"Help..." I mumble, "help... someone, anyone, please, help me..." I mumble out as I silently cry.
