ok now can break fluid just evaporate? because I know I dont have any leaks. I will check after on my way home and go buy some break fluid. Btw what brand should I get?

Just don't cheap out on stuff like that. Don't get the cheapest, and don't buy the most expensive if you don't have the money. MC's can leak internally. Happened to my EF all the time. Ran low on fluid every couple weeks untill I replaced the MC itself.
As the pads wear the fluid is displaced to the wheel cylinders. The fluid can get quite low in the master cylinder just before the pads wearout completely. If you do not have an obvious leak this is most likely the cause. The only other possibility is that brake fluid is leaking out the back of the master cylinder into the brake booster. this is hard to detect but if it has happened the booster must be replaced along with the master cylinder.

Yea, If your pads are going, ur fluid level will fall until u get new pads.
