Today is Monday, and I haven't been out of the house since the last time I was at school, when I talked to Levi.

When I reach school, I immediately try to head towards the roof to avoid anyone else, and when I get there, Levi is there again.

I sit down next to him.

"Hey." I say.

He looks over at me surprised, probably because he didn't expect me to talk to him again, "Hi.."

We stay silent for a bit, but then he looks at me out of the corner of his eye and says, "Did you need something brat?" I slightly flinch at 'brat' out of habit, hopefully he didn't see that, and I reply, "Nothing much, I just wanted to stay up here for the breeze, and you just happened to be here," I say while leaning my head back and looking up at the sky, then closing my eyes to relax.

"Well I'm going to class." He then gets up, and heads down the stairs, probably to his classroom like he said.

After he's gone, I lye down on my back, and doze off.

When I come to, it's dark outside, Dad's definitely going to kill me.

I take off my jacket which was apparently on my lap as a blanket somehow, and I put it on, running downstairs at the same time.

When I get home, I see Levi there, all bruised up, and bleeding a lot, and he's heading out.

"Levi...?" What is he doing here?

"Hey brat."

"What are you doing here Levi? And why do you look like that?"

"What do you mean? I normally look like this."

"Levi, don't tell me..."

"Sorry brat, I knew your father was doing something and I had to do something."

"Wh-what..?"

Levi then walks away, and I rush inside.

My house is a mess, and I don't see my dad.

I run to his room, and he's there packing his bags.

"Dad?"

"I'm leaving, Eren." He says through gritted teeth.

"What?"

"I said I'm leaving."

"What do you mean? You can't just leave!" I say getting angry, what would the school say? I don't mind him leaving, but what if the police find out and I get evicted and questioned, I knew he was cruel but I can't believe he'll leave and possibly could get himself in jail.

He turns around, and stares at me for a solid five seconds.

"You know what Eren, you're right, you'll come with me, we'll leave a suicide note for you, and we can say that I left because I was "so sad" that you died, yeah, that sounds good, and then I can have all the fun I want, maybe I could sell you too."

"Woah woah woah, slow down, what do you mean? We can't do that, you can't do that!"

"Yes I can Eren, and I will," he's inching towards me now, and I'm backing away, and I run out of his room and out the door, tears steaming down my cheek but getting caught by the wind as I'm running. Again.

I'm in some alleyway now, and I'm curled up in a ball and I'm sobbing into my arms. I'm such a baby, I didn't used to be like this, I used to be brave and strong, well at least I like to think I did.

I remember playing with Armin and Mikasa when we were little, Mikasa would always be looking out for me, but when her parents died , she was taken in by the Leohart's and we kind of separated from there, though she still tried to talk to us.

I'm sitting there sobbing, and I hear footsteps, but I don't even care anymore.

"Look he's alone." I hear someone say, who sounds like a grown man.

"Let's take him," sounds like another grown man.

I look up, but as I do, I'm knocked out.
