——- * Time Skip to June, the night before Y/n's birthday *
"You're fucking with me right?" You say in disbelief as you look at your boyfriends face through FaceTime.
"Nope, my flight really got canceled," Jean says once again and you frown. This was enough to ruin your whole week.
"I really wanted you to be here for the party...." You sigh, knowing he must be disappointed too. It's all the two of you had talked about for the past few weeks.
"I'll make it up to you when I get back," Jean promises, and you nod trying not to let the news ruin your mood. Your parents were putting a lot of money into your party and you didn't want to let this ruin it for you.
"I'll have more birthdays...Just never go to France around my birthday again or we're going to scuffle." You joke, trying to lighten the mood.
You'd been looking forward to your 18th birthday party for months now, and Jean was the one person who you never even considered would miss it.
"I'll try," Jean says as a tiny person joins him in the camera. All of your FaceTimes these past two weeks had been interrupted by Jean's little brother, which you didn't mind because he was adorable.
"Hi Jackson." You say happily as you look at the toddlers' chubby cheeks.
"Y/n?" He questions, looking back at Jean for reassurance. Jean smiles "Yes that's Y/n. Can you say, Hi?"
"Hi Y/n!" Jackson waves, before leaving the frame to go do whatever it is that three-year-olds get up to.
You're about to speak when your mom starts shouting your name from downstairs. You had promised to go run some last-minute errands with her before the party.
"Alright J I gotta go do some things with my mom, I'll call you later." You say preparing to hang up.
"Alright. I love you bye."
"I love you too." You smile before hanging up.
Eren busts your door open as you drop your phone into the tote bag you were going to bring to the store with you.
"Mom said to get your ass into the car before she sends you back to the center we got you from." Eren lies and you hold back a laugh as your dad passes by behind him and gives him a funny look.
The whole family was still having a hard time getting used to Erens' long hair. You however found it hilarious, "What did I tell you about coming in my room with that stinky ass bussdown." You complain as you pass by him.
Eren frowns as he follows behind you. "That was kinda mean." He admits and you ignore him as you put on your shoes to go outside.
You go to your moms' car and get into the front seat before Eren can steal it.
She's listening to her Beyoncé playlist and she's in a good mood. "Okay, we're going to pick up your dress from the tailor, then hit the mall because your brother decided to not get shoes for the party he had 6 weeks to prepare for and if there's still time then target."
"Got it." You answer giving her a thumbs up as she started driving.
Even though Jean wouldn't be there you were still extremely excited about your party. You didn't get to have a big one for your 16th so your parents were truly going all out for this one.
It didn't take long to get to the tailor and your mom let you stay in the car with Eren while she went inside to get it.
"Did you invite Zeke to the party?" Eren asks as you're scrolling through your phone. You hadn't spoken to Zeke in months after his apology.
Things were really weird between all three of you guys as siblings. And your parents were still distant from him, even though he'd apologized to them as well.
"I told mom she could. I don't know if she went through with it or not." You shrug. You didn't really care if he showed up or not, because deep down you were still hurting over what had gone down.
"I hope he doesn't," Eren says and you frown.
"It wouldn't be terrible if he did...I mean he apologized and he genuinely feels bad." You say.
"You're doing it again," Eren complains and you turn in your seat to face him. "Doing what?"
"Trying to protect him Y/n. No amount of apologizing or groveling will ever make up for the stuff he allowed. When he came to the house with that bullshit apology you should've let him know that." Eren says harshly and you grimace.
You didn't want to argue about it right now. Your birthday was tomorrow and you were in a good mood. "Well if he comes tomorrow you're free to tell him how you feel." You say before turning around again.
"I'm just saying, I wouldn't allow that disrespect to fly like that." Eren puts his hands up in defense as your mom comes to the car with your dress in hand. It's covered by a long black sheet so you can't see it as she puts it in the back of the car, next to Eren.
"You better protect that thing with your life." You threaten pointing your finger at him.
He pretends to put his foot on it and you jump out of your seat to choke him. "I swear to god I will kill y-"
"I'm just kidding!" He says putting his foot down as your mom gets into the drivers seat.
"You guys good?" She questions and you clear your throat as you sit back down. "Yeah. Why wouldn't we be." You smile as she starts the car.
"Just wondering why the car started bouncing when I was walking to the door."
"Beats me.." Eren says and you agree.
After that, you go to the mall where your mom decides Eren has to wear what he likes to call "Church Shoes" for your party.
Your mother had told him very strictly "If you think you're wearing Jordan 4's with slacks to your sisters party you are wrong."
Then lastly you went to target. Where your mom suspiciously bought gift wrap and gift boxes which she hid in the trunk after telling you to mind your business.
Once you got home it was 8 pm and your mom ordered pizza. So you took a shower, did your routine ate dinner and went to bed so you could be well-rested for the long day you'd have tomorrow. ———-
