the world didn't end when i was 17
e. yeager ⛧ | 01 .cheers to another day of this experience we call life. you know those tiktoks where people talk about their depressing lives with the audio "nothing's new" or "interlinked" behind it? that would be an understatement for me an understatement. my life started off like like the show gilmore girls it was really good and exciting. but people have a way of complicating things. feelings got messy, friends drifted away (or flaked out entirely), and now i'm left with these new people i don't care get too close to because, let's face it, getting attached only leads to pain. and in all of this, i find myself asking, what's the purpose?
i wish i could be like every other teenager, dealing with the usual drama – fake friends, stressing over making the cheer team. i wish breakups were a minor setback rather than a shattering of your world because when you've shared your most vulnerable moments with someone, that's what it feels like.. and can i just say, having a perfect sister is the worst? i mean, im always "lina's sister," never just me. it feels like i can never escape her shadow, but the world didn't end when i was 17.

"sooo, are you gonna miss me after i leave?" lina said with a smile on her face. it was her last day before she went off to college and she was feeling a mix of emotions. excitement for the new chapter of her life, but also sadness about leaving behind everything and everyone she knew and loved.her sister, y/n, looked at her with a serious expression, "no... okay maybe a little."
lina playfully rolled her eyes, "just a little? i'm your favorite sister, aren't i?" y/n giggled, "you're my only sister, but yeah, you're my favorite too."
"so what ever happened to you and that one guy, what was his name? ..eric?" lina questioned. "eren?" you replied with an eyebrow slightly raised. "ohhh eren yeah, what happened between yall?" "it's not really that important." y/n said as she sat up against her headboard.
"come onn y/n, i'm your older sister im basically supposed to know everything. besides once im in college you're gonna wish you would've told me but you won't be able to because ill be going to college parties with my new college friends." she said while faking a sassy tone and pose, trying to lighten the mood.
"yeah and college work." y/n added while rolling her eyes.
"but okay damn. if you really know, eren and i broke up over some stupid argument because he was spending too much time with his girl best friend." y/n said while shrugging her shoulders. "then he calls me insecure and i was just like "no i just wanted you to spend more time with me" you know? but after that he called me clingy and annoying and said it was just best if we broke up so i was like fine, and blocked him" she said.
"ouch .."
"ouch? really? that's all you have to say? yeah i'm never venting to you again" y/n said with an annoyed look on her face.
lina held up her hands in a defensive gesture, "okay, okay, i'm sorry. if you really still like him then unblock him and just text him but coming from your older sister he's not gonna be good enough for you. just calm down and don't stress yourself out about him, you're 17 you have sooo much time to date and experience life. please take it from me okay? the world does not end when you are 17 y/n."
y/n walked back to her room still confused what to do after that conversation with her sister. "uhh y/n you're out of all of the good chips" kierra said while holding up an empty bag of flaming hot doritos.
"how the fuck did yall get in here" y/n said standing at the doorframe looking at kierra and nalani.
"dang well hey to you too" she said while playfully rolling her eyes.
"no... seriously i don't remember asking you two to come over." y/n's brows knitted.
"girl.. your mom invited us" nalani smiled. "yeah she said you've been crying over eren for the last two weeks and that she's sick of it."
"you guys are not helping.. like at all. you know what im just gonna text him" y/n said pulling out her phone. kierra and nalani exchanged a look before kierra passed y/n the phone.
y/n's heart sank as she saw the screen—it was a picture of eren with a new girl smiling happily together. "no fucking way, he did not just pop out with his so called best friend after gaslighting me into thinking that they didn't have something going on." she felt a mix of anger, sadness, and betrayal wash over her as she stared at the image, realizing that moving on might not be as easy as she thought.
"y/n lets be for real.. you couldn't possibly just expect him to act right like. he didn't even post you the whole 3 months that yall were talking." nalani said while scrolling on tiktok. "lani can you shut up? kierra interrupted, her voice filled with empathy."
still scrolling on her phone, sasha says "chill out kierra i was just saying.." kierra sighs while turning to to face away from nalani "look y/n, you've done enough crying over him and now you just need to get out more, there's a party tonight and we're going." she smiled, trying to cheer her friend up.
"we?? no we're not" y/n replied, still upset about the whole eren situation. "look just forget about that lil ass boy, you need to get your mind off him."
"okay fine, but if this shit is lame i'm leaving." she sighed.
