《Cut Deep (Eren x Reader ft. Titan Eren)》~ Chapter 23 ~
Advertisement
As I reach the outside stairs of the ballroom, I see a few groups of Scouts wandering around to get some air. There are couples kissing, some people drunk and then me, a loner on my way to the pond. I take my hair out of the bun, letting it fall down my sticky face. I take off my heels that ache my feet and throw them in the dirt and inside place my necklace and earrings. I begin to waddle to the pond, my dress being so restricted to run, when my foot steps on something sharp.
"Agh!" I spit, tears running down my face. I get up from the fall to see my foot, bleeding, probably from glass I stepped on. Blood oozes on my fingers and sticks to my white dress as I try to wipe it off.
"Shit," I shake as I ruin my dress with my bloody fingers. I wipe my face of the tears that blur my vision, and see black ink on my hands from my mascara. I rub that along with the blood on my white dress and begin to cry at the sight. My mom spent so long on this dress, and now it's ruined. I notice a loose thread at the side, and tug it, unthreading the whole seam at the right side of my dress up to my hips.
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Where are you?" I hear a frightened Bertholdt call my name. I get up, still aching and now run, my dress allowing me to. Once I reach the pond, I slump down, fat, juicy tears pouring from my eyes and into my hands. I dip my palm into the water, the ice cold chilling my body over.
I cup some and splash it on my face, all the makeup leaking off. If Eren didn't think I was beautiful before, he defiantly won't now. I look a wreck. I look into my reflection...most my makeup is off but you can still see marks of it underneath. My dress is another whole story-what used to be snow white is now covered in mascara, blood and mud. If my shoes and necklace get stolen from the stairs where I left them, there is nothing I can really do. Eren's right, I don't know if I care anymore.

I remember his hug today, the hug I thought I would be getting tonight. But no, Mikasa gets that privilege. I don't want anyone to find me here, I don't deserve support off people that aren't as lucky as myself. I then hear crunching leaves, and look up to my side...
"Marco?" I whisper, tears staining my face. He looks at me with a glowing light around him, a holy light, it is him.
"Promise me, whatever happens today...we'll stay best friends," He says in monotone.
I crumble my face into my hands and begin to cry loud, Marco, he would've danced with me. Even Jean told me earlier today...
"Why would Eren look at me?" I muttered as we were in the bathroom.
"Because you're beautiful. Marco thought so," Jean replied.
"What?" I said, shocked.
"He had a crush on you, (Y/N). I wasn't supposed to tell you...but he's gone now. He'll forgive me,"
I cry wet, salty tears and wonder how many I've got left, when I hear an abnormal crack of lightning strike the woods. I know it's not a storm, as the sky is empty, and only filled with twinkling stars.

The Time Tower (the first visit)
****** There are certain universal desires, and chief among them is the desire to possess a button that will allow you to turn back time. The answer to all your problems. They thought that they had discovered the means to achieve the secret desire of their hearts. They thought they’d discovered magic. But we know that magic does not exist. Not in the way that most people wish it would. It was only an illusion. You cannot turn back time. You can only move forward. ****** Only two truths are certain. The Tower must come down. That is their only goal. Pima isn't certain that it's even possible, but when the task falls to her, she must try to set aside all her past fears and failures to reach into the past and change the future of the world. That's the first thing truth: The Tower must come down. The second is...It knows you're here, and it doesn't like being disturbed. ****** Note on the subtitle: Think of The Time Tower as a television mini-series. There are multiple parts, and sometimes you have to wait for the next one. Apart, they are somewhat short. Together, they are longer than a regular movie. This is part one - the first visit to The Time Tower.
