Chapter 8
Tease
The sun had gone down hours ago much like Laila who was sound asleep snoring in bed beside her sister, sometimes even mumbling words from her dream aloud.
On the opposite side of the spectrum of sleeping well like Laila was her older sister Y/n, who was now on the verge of diagnosing herself with insomnia. It wasn't unusual for her to be having trouble sleeping, this happened often when she was stressed.
Seeing the current situation she was in she wasn't surprised her sleeping hours have dropped significantly. Still, what was hurting her gravely right now was the fact that she was out of sleeping pills.
Sitting up she flipped her pillow to the other side for the millionth time, trying to see if the now colder side would comfort her. Of course, like the million other times she tried the outcome was the same. She was on her back staring up at the ceiling, restless.
Groaning she pressed both her palms flat against her ears, Laila's snoring was making this all the more unbearable.
Not to mention the little girl taking up most of the bed, flipping around, tugging the blanket, and spreading out like a star fish all in one sleep cycle.
Y/n was beginning to regret dragging Laila up to bed, she should've just left her in the dog bed with Rolo since she wanted so desperately to cling to the dog all night anyway.
Throwing in the towel she threw what was left of the blanket covering her off her body. Sliding her feet into her slippers she left the room, being careful to close the door softly.
Sighing in defeat, she hung her head in her walk of shame downstairs to the kitchen; feening for a midnight snack. Trudging down the stairs her brows furrowed noticing the kitchen light was on, she could also hear low mumbling.
She froze on the step, trying to decipher if it was more than one voice. When she was able to deduce it was one person she knew this meant they were most likely on the phone.
Sticking her nose in the persons business, she creeped down the stairs, making sure to be light on her toes.
"No, I'm telling you it's not worth the trouble." The low voice mumbled, speaking in a convincing tone.
'Oh, it's Eren... What's he doing up so late?'
Even though he was keeping his voice down Y/n could tell it was Eren, after all their was a striking difference between his voice and Armins.
"Don't you feeling like you've already made your stateme--"
Creak
Y/n cringed at the sound of the ground creaking under her weight as she took a step closer, greedy to hear more of the conversation she had no business in. She closed her eyes tightly as she held her breath, trying to be as still as possible.
"Who's there?" Eren spoke loud and clear, clearly not directing the question to whoever was on the phone.
'Maybe if I just stand still and don't make any sounds he'll think it was nothing and continue his conversation rig---'
"Trust me you don't want me to have to drag you out of whatever fucking corner you're hiding in." Wrong.
Nothing about Eren scared her but this definitely did.
She could tell by his tone he wasn't bluffing, and she surely wasn't going to test and see if he was in the first place.
As embarrassing as it was to be caught eavesdropping, Y/n didn't want to push any buttons.
