My Girl | E. Jaeger

004

➜ eren arrived shortly after and from the moment you got into the car, you could tell he was visibly frustrated at whatever had gone down between him and the other band members. he pulled out of the parking spot the moment the door shut.

"what happened?" you broke the silence.

"i got into an argument with the band." eren replied.

"huh? about what?"

"you."

your eyes widened a bit, you couldn't recall doing anything bad from what you could remember so you were baffled as to why your name was brought up amongst their conversation in the first place.

"what did i do?" you asked.

"they think i've been slacking off with the band ever since the two of us started meeting and hooking up and gave me the option to either take them more serious or quit the band so i chose the second option." he explained.

you felt your heart sink to your stomach, there was no way eren had said goodbye to his career just like that and it was all because of you. sure you knew he enjoyed spending time with you but this was just way too much so early on.

"you chose me over the band eren? seriously?" you looked at him, still dumbfounded.

"yeah." he replied nonchalantly.

"turn the car around, we're heading back to the band members right away because there's no way i'm about to watch you throw your life away for a dumb girl who doesn't even know what she wants to do with her future yet." you proclaimed.

all eren could do was stare, this was certainly not the reaction he expected. he'd known you long enough to know that once your mind was set on something there was no changing it. so he didn't argue, and as much as his pride didn't want him to he turned the car around just like you said.

you were surprised it was even this easy.

"you're more than just a dumb girl to me (y/n), you should really stop doubting how much i care about you."

"and i care about you too." you replied. "hence the reason why i'm not about to let you do this to yourself."

eren sighed to himself before proceeding to swerve into the car pool lane. "fine, if that's what you want."

he knew that you wanted the best for him but a part of him couldn't help but feel a type of way, as in he had just quit a whole band for you only for you to dismiss it like it was nothing.

maybe eren cared a lot more about you than he first anticipated.

"oh hey (y/n), what brings you he-"

"don't you hey (y/n) me jean." you barged in, hand still gripped around erens wrist as you pulled him in with you. "gather everyone around, there's something i have to say." you demanded.

jean practically scrambled to grab connie and armin after you said that whilst all eren could do was stand there, amazed that his girl could assert so much dominance within a matter of seconds. just because you weren't with eren quitting the band didn't mean you were gonna allow the rest of the members to treat him the way they did.

one thing about you is that you would defend eren in public but tell him the truth in private.

connie, armin and jean gathered round shortly after. having never seen you look so pissed before they could tell what you were about to say wouldn't be anything light.

"so i hear you guys have had a problem with me and eren spending time together?" you spoke up.

they just stared at you startled, it honestly pissed you off how they had so much energy earlier but now that you were here no one had anything to say.

"yes or no?" you added.

"i wouldn't really say problem." armin said. "it was more of a thing where the bands performance was suffering as a result of you spending time with him."

"and none of you thought to say anything to me?" you eyed all of them, especially jean who was suddenly mute when it came to you.

"we thought talking to eren would be the most convenient thing to do since he's the one actually in the band and all." he continued.

"yeah it's not anything personal, we just gave him the options so he would take this whole band thing and tour more serious." connie added.

you gave a short tempered sigh. "so you gave him the option not considering what would happen if he did choose me over the band which he did, so where does that leave the rest of you?" you genuinely asked.

a silence lingered throughout the room, deep down they knew you were right. what exactly were they supposed to do from here? without eren they were nothing and they all knew that. he was the core of their group, not them.

"we would've figured something out with tim-"

"time?" you scoffed at jean. "your next performance is in less than 24 hours, it would be impossible to find a substitute as good as eren. and its not like you can cancel the show either, think of the thousands of people who had spent their life savings purchasing tickets."

"so what do you suggest we do then?" jean retorted.

"that you take eren back." you gulped before turning to eren. "and for all of our sake i think it's best the two of us don't see each other anymore."

eren practically couldn't believe his ears at your sentence, he thought you were joking until you took out both yours phones and blocked your contacts from each others call logs. everyone in the band knew that eren loved calling you whenever you weren't together so if this wasn't enough to convince them then you didn't know what was.

you gave erens phone back to him like it was nothing, almost laughing at how gobsmacked he was by what you'd just done.

"so what do you say?" you concluded. "do you want him back or not?"
