( Short A/N:
While I was asleep this bumped up to 200+ views! Thank you so much, again, guys! )
**YOUR POV**
It was bright. Your eyes hurt and everything seemed different.
This didn't smell like your apartment.
"HOLY CRAP AM I DEAD?!" You managed to yell, and tried to sit up.
"Calm down!" Dave yelled.
️Karkat jumped back in surprise.
Oh no.
They found you.
You were in the hospital.
For some reason something told you they'd be mad, or something.
You didn't know why.
"Uhh... Hi...," you smiled lightly and put your arms behind you.
️Karkat suddenly hugged you.
( A/N: MORE ️KARKAT ACTION?! I'LL GIVE YOU ️KARKAT ACTION!! )
"Don't do that again, you scared me," he muttered into your ear.
He pulled back, and you blushed. Dave hugged you now.
He didn't say a thing.
"Let's head home?" You said once he stood away from you.
"Yeah, let's head home," Dave smiled, tossing you the sweater, and you put it on.
**
Soon you were home and you felt exhausted. Walking that short mile to the apartment seemed more than it normally would.
Dave and Karkles helped you to the elevator and into your apartment.
"Thanks again guys...," you smiled, and shut the door. You flopped onto your bed with your phone, and texted a bit.

CH began pestering EB at 6:00 PM.
CH: John!
CH: Johnnn
CH: fine I'll go...
EB: I'm here I'm here!!
CH: hi!
EB: hello!
CH: let's talk about something
EB: ... Like?
CH: I don't know what!! Do you want to get everyone together tomorrow?
EB: sure!! I'll ask everyone if they can make it.
EB ceased pestering CH at 6:10 PM.

Tomorrow you'd see your friends, it gave you a happy feeling, a fluttery happy feeling. You played a game on your laptop until later.
Then you were very tired, so you went to bed a bit earlier.
**THE NEXT MORNING**
You blinked your eyes open, stretching. You put some jeans and a (F/C) shirt on, and the sweater from Dave, ️Karkat, and Kankri. You went out the door, grabbing your phone and a pop tart package, opening it and only taking one. You put your shoes on with one hand while eating with the other.
You went into the bathroom and put some make up on so you'd look better than you were and went into the hall. You felt better today than other days, feeling relieved to take a break and see your friends.
'Should I wait for Dave and ️Karkat?' You thought. 'Nah. I'll just pester them and tell them.'
CH began pestering CG at 9:00 AM.
CH: I'll be at the park.
CH ceased pestering CG at 9:00 AM.

CH began pestering TG at 9:02 AM.
CH: I'll be at the park.
CH ceased pestering TG at 9:02 AM

You went down in the elevator, and started to walk to the park. Then someone messaged you, a forgotten memory from the past made you start to shake.
Only your parents and he knew your number to text you. Pesterchum was for friends.
"(Y/N)!! I'm out of jail now!! I'm coming to visit you in PA!! I paid off my jail debts with Their money!"
It was your brother, the person who murdered your parents while you sat behind the couch shaking. You tried to forget but you couldn't, you acted like you forgot. No one knew the gruesome way your parents died.
**FLASHBACK**
You hid behind the couch, shaking.
"(Y/N)~! I know you're in the house~!" Your brother's crazed voice cut through the silence of the house. "(Y/N)! It's me your brother!!!"
Wails started to cut down the street. The police were coming. You let out a squeak of relief.
"Aha!! (Y/N)!" He pulled you from behind the couch. "I knew I'd find you! What a fun game of hide and seek! Now my favorite part!" He raised the knife as the police broke in.
"Put the knife down!!" They yelled.
"Oh but it's the fun part!!"
You started to cry.
Suddenly one came from behind him, and knocked him out. They took him off to juvi. You came to PA.
**END**
You slid down against the trunk of a tree, trying not to panic to text him back.
You: Leave me alone. You killed mom and dad.
Him: Oh, (Y/N), I never got to finish with you!
You: and you won't get to! Leave me alone!
Him: :)
You put the phone down. You couldn't answer. You buried your face in your hands. Just then Dave and ️Karkat walked by, arguing, and they stopped.
"(Y/N)..?" They said.
"Oh, uh, hi... Dave, ️Karkat.." You quickly thought up a lie. "I was just sitting down."
"That's why your face was in your hands," Dave pointed out.
Crap.
"I.. Uh," you looked away.
"It's ok, let's go, they're waiting for us," ️Karkat grumbled, obviously knowing that you didn't want to talk about it.
You knew your brother was coming after you.
