Drivers license https://youtu.be/ZmDBbnmKpqQ
Most people after graduating high school would most likely end up going to college, some successfully graduate and become something big. Others would drop out and make something of themselves. Eren Yeager was one of those people. He was never one to study and actually like school. Although his parents had high expectations for him to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a doctor. He however didn’t see himself doing so. Neither did his older brother Zeke. It’s funny to think that his mother would push him to work hard and become a doctor. He wasn’t a complete disappointment though, no in fact he was the exact opposite. Eren Yeager was a complete success. He ended up being a popular lead singer in his band called Paradis titans. Eren ended up dropping out to be in his band, along with his friends: Jean Kirstein who was the guitarist, Reiner Bruan the Bassist, and there was the drummer Connie Springer who is actually dumber than he looks. Those four became big successes, they went world tours together, held concerts, went on red carpet walks, etc. And of course they have a large fan base. When their last tour ended, their manager, who just so happened to be Zeke, said they could go home for the holidays but also to go to their studio and make a new album. So back to percent time, Eren was hanging out with Mikasa and Armin back in their place.

Eren was sitting on the couch scrolling through social media, while Armin and Mikasa were chatting about Armins new book and about its release date. Armin became a successful author who sold books worldwide. Eren was proud of Armin, he did try to convince him to join the band since he had amazing vocals, but he said the spotlight wasn’t for him nor did he think he could be in a band. Mikasa on the other hand, became a successful lawyer, solving cases that went on the news, and even helped people gain their rights. Eren and her used to date but both realized that they’re both better off as friends. That gave Jean a chance to shoot his shot and was a complete success. The two have been happily dating since.
“So they still don’t know who wrote the song” Armin spoke in the back. Eren wasn’t exactly listening to their conversation, but seemed to switch topics. “No, and the song is getting so much attention. People think it’s a top singer who doesn’t want to reveal themselves. But the question is why?” Mikasa had responded. Letting out a sigh Eren stretched as he moved his attention to his friends. “What are you guys even blathering about?” The two had moved their heads to look into Eren's direction, “about the Anonymous viral song, you know. That one song that has been playing everywhere recently about-” before Armin had a chance to finish Eren let out a big yawn. He had completely lost interest in whatever the two were talking about before. “Yea whatever I haven’t heard anything. I’m hungry, let's go get some food or something.” With that, they all stood up and followed the tall Brunette out the door.
He was driving, Mikasa sat in the passenger seat and Armin in the back. On their way there they had small conversations before Mikasa reached and turned on the radio. Just then a song he hasn’t heard before started playing. Mikasa as well as Armin seemed to like it, because it made Mikasa reach and turn up the volume. Strange Eren hasn’t heard this before. “What is this song?” Eren asked. It was weird it was about a driver's license. “It’s drivers license. It’s the one song we were talking about.” Armin comments. “Oh. And who is it by?” Eren had asked. “That’s the thing, no one knows. It was published but with no name or anything. It’s been pretty popular. People are making videos about it and trying to find the owner of it. It’s actually a really good song. It’s like a sad heart break song.” The woman next to him explained. Eren nodded his head as he listened, he said nothing else as he listened to the song.
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me!
That voice sounded so familiar to Eren. However he can’t point his finger to it and find where he knows it from. So he sat back and listened.
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Armin and Mikasa really liked this song, heck they even knew the lyrics. But he wonders why he’s only finding out about it now?
Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
With its final lyrics the song came to an end. Wasn’t long before they arrived at their destination either.

It's been a couple days since the hangout with Armin and Mikasa. Eren headed towards the studio to record one of their new songs. When he entered the room the guys were already there. Connie and Jean talking among themselves. And Reiner sitting on the coach adjusting his instrument. But that made Eren draw his attention to Reiner, who was listening to the song drivers license. After hearing that song for the first time, it was everywhere now. And it follows Eren to wherever he was. He saw it on the news, people made tiktok abouts it. Played on the radio. He couldn’t escape it. He was kinda annoyed at this point, but also curious to find out who made that song since no one knows. “Oh you’re here.” Jean spoke and brought Eren back to reality as he walked further into the room. He greeted the rest as he took a seat next to Reiner. “Why do people keep listening to that stupid song?” Eren asked, leaning his back against the couch. “What. It’s a good song, bet the girl who made it is beautiful.” Reiner responded back. Jean rolled his eyes as he walked over to the two. “Yea but whoever it is better come clean and reveal themselves soon. Random people on the internet are claiming it as their own.” Another voice spoke from behind “yea, can’t believe people actually do that. But then again why keep it a secret. If you wanted to become a big hit they made it. So why still keep themselves a secret.” Connie leaned against the wall as he stuck back the lollipop in his mouth. “Maybe she has anxiety issues. And besides, people on the internet can be cruel so they rather make music and not want fame.” Reiner had spoken back. All of those things were true, still wouldn’t hurt to come out and claim the song as their own. “Well whoever it is, is a complete idiot for not taking the opportunity and getting the fame and money they could’ve received by now” in walks Zeke. He was smoking a cigarette before putting it out. True the song it’s self reached so much attention and fame, it could’ve helped someone’s career boost. “But enough about this mysterious woman singer, let’s focus on getting a new song produced and making it a top hit. Making everyone forget about this drivers license nonsense. All of you back to work.” Zeke snapped his fingers as the others agreed and went back to work. Eren sighed and forgot about the song and went into the sound room to record his voice.

Not long time after, Eren was back in Mikasa place to hang and chill, normally it would be either at his or Armins but ever since Annie moved in with Armin, things were either really awkward or end up in a stupid debate between Eren and Annie. So while Eren and Armin waited for Mikasa to come back with food, they were playing video games when in a split of a second Mikasa came in through the door out of breath. The two guys jumped and turned to look at Mikasa who ran to the kitchen and slammed the food on the table. Before they could get a word in, Mikasa reveals what was going on “It’s here! The moment we have been waiting for!” Wondering what the heck she is talking about, she said “she revealed herself! In the music video! Drivers license!” Not a second later Armin gasped and the trio sat on the couch and changed the setting on the TV and on to YouTube and clicked on the music video.
The video started with a car and a girl getting in it. It started driving in a road and the music started
I got my driver's license last week Just like we always talked about 'Cause you were so excited for me To finally drive up to your house But today I drove through the suburbs Crying 'cause you weren't around
Still the girl's face wasn’t revealed. The video was about flashbacks of a couple and a girl driving. It caught a glimpse of the girl's face. But it was only her lips and her eyes. Her lips were round and glossy. Not to mention that her eyes were bright, her eyes were a beautiful (e/c). Her lashes were long and dark. In the video she was wearing a wing, it was blonde as she was in the camera. But just as the video moved, she changed her outfit and took off the wig to reveal (h/c) hair.
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sidewalks we crossed
Just then the girl got out of the car, she had (h/l) (h/c) hair, she walked through the sidewalk just as the lights faded to her in a different setting with different pictures.
She stopped and the camera finally relieved her
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
And there she was, staring at the camera as it faded away. Never would Eren thought it would be you . He was so shocked he didn’t even know his jaw had dropped open. “N-no way!” Armin had broken the silence. “I-it can’t be.. all this time..” Mikasa sighed in surprise. Eren stared back at the Tv where Armin had gone back to reveal you again. Yea it was you, the girl Eren hasn’t seen in years. After a few moments, Eren finally spoke,
“(Y/N)…”

You were so nervous about the video going up online and finally you revealing yourself to the world. You kept pushing the demands of you finally coming out to the world. Levi, who is your music manager. He was actually more than that, he was also your Live Agent, he had a full time job. He was kinda like a parent to you too as well. Or more like he treated you like his kid. He had asked you several times to finally come public, he also called you an idiot for letting go of the opportunities of the song. So why couldn’t you just do it? You weren’t exactly sure, maybe it was because this could change your life so much, and you were excited but also not ready. So finally getting through your head, Levi had made arrangements of making the music video.
You were getting congratulated by your team and by your producer Yelena. “Ah! (Y/N)!” She walked up to you and gave you a hug and a kiss on the cheek. You blushed and chuckled as she pulled back, hearing a tch from Levi. Yea they didn’t really get along, but for your sake they had no choice. “Congrats on finally making a name for yourself. The video just went up and already reached number 1 on trending!” Wow already? And it’s only been a couple of hours. “Oh yea? That’s awesome! And thanks again for helping.” Yelena waved her hand, “you have nothing to thank me for. Now go home and get some rest because we have a long way to go.” Levi had walked up to the two of you and joined in, “yea, she has a point. I’m getting contacted by a lot of people trying to schedule you and be on their show. I’m trying my best to settle for all of them but they really are a pain in the ass.” Yelena laughed a bit, amused seeing Levi get irritated. “If this is such a big pain in the ass for you, why did you even decide to do this job?” Already pissed off, Levi glared at the much taller woman, “not that it’s any of your business, but I just happen to really enjoy this job. Now would you excuse us, we have to get going.” Turning his back on Yelena Levi told you it was time to go. You said your goodbyes to Yelena as you followed Levi out of the studio.

When you got in the car, the drive to your house was pretty quiet. Levi broke the silence. “I know who should interview you first.” Raising a brow you turn your head to look at him and ask who. He only turned and gave you a look, realizing who, you hesitated “what? Are you sure? I-I mean I love Hanji but sometimes she can be VERY pushy. And she asks too many questions. How would I know how to answer them?” Parking the car side on the side of your house, you unbuckle your seatbelt and waited for Levi to answer. “It would make sense to go and get interviewed by someone familiar. Don’t worry I’ll talk to her about not getting out of control.” You sighed and thought about it, you shook your head yes and got out of the car. “Ok I’ll only do it because I trust them, but also I am kinda nervous. I mean she is crazy.” Looking at Levi as you placed your hand on the door, “Hey that’s my wife you’re talking about. But don’t worry, you’ll be fine. I’ll pick you up early in the morning to go and talk about your future projects.” You had a small smile on your face and nodded your head. “Ok see you then I guess. Night.” You shut the door and waved as Levi drove off. Letting a sigh of relief you walked up to your door steps, only to look at a notification, you read the message. You know from here on your life changes forever. You step in your house and shut the door. To new beginnings.
