-Wilbur-

Phil picked me up from the hospital, he had dark bags under his eyes and he looked pale. I climbed up into the backseat, getting on the seat belt and looking down at my hands.

"Wilbur." Phil stared at me from the review mirror, "Niki, your childhood friend is at our house."

"O-ok.." I had lost the ability to speak, the doctor said I had so much trauma from Jared telling me to speak that when I arrived at the hospital my mind didn't want to speak. Not wanting to remind myself what had happened.

I had told the police everything, I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to apologize, wanted to tell him to fuck off, wanted to tell Jared that I didn't want to se him.

Y If Niki's at our house.. that means Schlatt is too. 'He doesn't love you' that's what Jared said, I still believe him... why? Why do I believe him? I look out at the large town from the car window, the light posts turning on, the large downtown area lit up. The car slowly stops and I look at Phil.

"We're here." Phil smiled at me, it was a forced smile.

I nod and open the door, climbing out. The old Subaru car door creaking as I close it slowly, I follow Phil to the front door. He had given me his jacket as I was still wearing the hospital dress.

"Wilbur.." Phil clicked the key into the front door, "why? I mean the police told me everything but..."

"S-...sorry." I mumble out.

Phil turns to me, "please.. don't do it again." He kneels down and hugs me. I stand there in shock as his warmth feels familiar.

I nod, "I- wo- ... won't..."

"Now." Phil stands up, "go get some sleep."

He turns back to the door and opens it, I slowly walk in. The smell of coffee and fresh bread fills my nose. Tommy stares at me from the stairs. I wave at him.

"WILBUR!" I get scared by the loud noise but calm down as Tommy wraps his arms around me.

I hug him back, not saying a word.

He looks up at me, "did you go mute? Oh no, what did that man do to you?! Do we need to take out his heart!? Tubbo, Ranboo and I can do that for you!"

"TOMMY!" Phil yells at Toms, "Wilbur's not mute he's scared! Now go play with your friends and we'll talk about this tomorrow."

Tommy groans and runs up the stairs. I look at Phil and then look around. I look around for Schlatt. 'He doesn't love you.' Maybe I should take Tommys offer. I chuckle mentally and look at

Phil sighs, "Schlatts upstairs, go cuddle with him just no you know.." I shake at the thought of that, "but before you go, would you like some food?"

I shake my head no, Phil nods and walks off to his bedroom after shutting and lock-in the front door. I look around for a clock, 7:09 P.M. that's early for bed but.. whatever.

I walk over to the couch, Schlatt sleeping quietly as the TV is on a low volume. I turn my head to the Tv, what the fuck? He was watching some sort of news broadcast or was watching it.

'A local teen was found-.' Shit. I grab the remote and turn the TV off. I turn my head to Schlatt and climb into the couch, he was on the back of the couch so there was a lot of room for me. I lift the blanket and climb in, making myself comfortable before I feel an arm wrap around me.

"Wilbur?" Schlatt mumbled.

I turned my body around and squeezed him, "c-... cu- cudd...cuddle."

Schlatt hummed, "I'm glad your back.." he sighs, "your dad isn't the best right now.." he starts to cuddle with me and I feel safe already, "but your family's glad your back."
