Sweater Weather was playing softly from her phone speakers. She was finally falling asleep after trying for four hours now. It was 4am. She had no classes the next day but she did have work early in the morning.

Her music stopped abruptly, pulling her from her half asleep daze. The music was the only thing calming her to this state.

Her phone buzzed against the hardwood of her nightstand which grew annoying after merely the first ring. She answered it and put it on speaker, expecting it to be Phil or someone of that sort.

She was wrong.

"Hello?" She asked, sleep lacing her voice. "Karl if this is you, go to bed you stupid bitch. Stop drinking monsters and just sleep."

"Fallon Delilah Rose who the hell do you think you ate talking to like that?" A woman's voice flowed angrily through the phone.

She shot up immediately, far too awake to go back to sleep now.

"Mom?" The girl asked, confusion and fear seeping into her voice.

"Me and your father have been trying to call you. We're in California and we're taking you back to New York." The woman said. Her heart dropped.

i can't go back. was the only thing running through her head. She hung up almost immediately and tried to calm her now labored breathing.

Fallon walked towards Techno's room, mind racing with unwanted thoughts. She walked in and sat on his bed. He was playing Minecraft with Phil as per usual. His sleep schedule was fucked to say the least.

"Fal!" Techno yelled, getting her attention. "Ive been calling your name for three minutes. What's goin on in your head up there?" He asked, cocking his head slightly.

"Oh, uh, i just c-couldn't sleep..is all." She half lied.

"Phil let me call you back, okay? No i'll call you- fine i'll call you back tomorrow, Dadza." Techno teased. He smiled and turned towards the girl once his pc was shut down.

"I thought we said no lying." Techno said, walking to sit on the bed.

"Im not entirely lying. I just- I couldn't fall asleep. My phone rang and i thought it was Karl or Quackity or Phil or even Tommy. It wasn't and ive just found out my mother and father are here to take me back to New York and i don't wanna leave! I don't wanna go back into that environment with them! Please don't let them take me." She said, breaking down on the man's bed.

"I'll do what i can Fal, but you know if they bring the court into it i have no say or power here. I'll fight, of course, but i don't think i'd win. I'm sorry, Fal." He whispered, rubbing her shoulder. He knew she didn't like much physical contact when in this state. She grew up much like he did where physical affection made situations quite awkward for the both.

"I dont wanna go back, Tech. I can't go back." She cried, leaning on his shoulder slightly. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and just held her until she finally fell unconscious.

He didn't know where to start on how to fix this. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't let her get taken away. They keep each other grounded and sane.

They might just take a last minute vacation to a friend's house.
