"I didn't know where else to go".

"Here, Come in," I moved away from the door for he can step in. he walked to my bed and sat on the floor with his back against my bed. I then sat on my bed next to eren. The room was quiet as eren would occasionally sniffle "is everything okay?" I ask.

"Grisha left, we don't know where he is. just how could he do it again, when I finally get somewhere with him, he leaves. Am I the problem? Don't answer that, of course, i'm the problem-"

"You're not the problem-".

"Stop trying to defend me!"

"I'm not trying to defend you, or make you feel better, I'm simply telling you the truth".

"You don't know the truth".

"Well maybe if you told me the truth I would know."

"If this is about the whole Frieda thing-" he said. 

"No eren, this is about you, what's going on with you. Can you at least tell me this for I can help".

"I don't want help".

"So then why did you come here?"

"I didn't wanna be alone".

"Well, your not alone, your never alone".

"I'm always alone".

"You think that but-'

"No y/n, I am alone, from the very moment I close my eyes till the moment I open them I'm alone, mentally and physically".

"For the physically part your not alone-"

"Yes I am, I have no one!"

"You have me! You have me eren. Is that not good enough for you?"

Eren whispered something under his breath.

"What?" I asked.

Eren shook his head and stood quietly.

"Why do you feel alone?"

"I don't know".

"You have to know-"

"But I don't, I can't sit here and tell you something I don't know". 

"Is being alone a choice of your?"

"Why would I choose to be alone".

"I don't know, is it a fear of losing people so you rather be alone? I just wanna know-"

"I don't know y/n".

"Is there something you do know eren".

Eren whispered something under his breath again.

"Can you please speak up-"

"I don't wanna be here anymore. that's something I know".

"What?"

"I just- don't wanna be here anymore".

"In my dorm?, or-"

"The other way".

"Oh eren". I sat on the floor next to eren and turned his face to look at me. My hand was on his cheek with my thumb on his bottom lip. "You need to be here, people need you-"

"I don't need to be here, and no one needs me-"

"I need you eren". I paused for a moment and looked into his eyes. "I care, I need you, and-"
