"Yeah, well, this new guy shows up, gets Olly all riled up, and then just fuckin' dips." Chuck lights his lighter, bringing it up to his cigarette as Justin talks. "It's kinda similar to what you did honestly. You just came in here, shook up the dynamic, and just never left. I don't think Olly would have ever stopped looking at you the way he did, Y/N."
You stared down at the urn in your arms. You didn't even realize you'd been hugging it. "Do you think he loved me?" Your eyes started to water.
"He loved us all like family, but, of course, he loved you most of all." Chuck said, blowing smoke through his nose. "Didn't you come to us, like, a week after James and Jas?" You blinked back tears, trying to remember.

You used to be head of one of Hostel B's lower branches. You couldn't exactly let the other branches treat their kids like livestock, so you were gonna find Hostel's Big Daddy. You scratched at your little "h" tattoo, anxious, but ready to bust down the doors. You pushed them open, letting them slam against the wall. "Olly Wang!" His eyes widened as your voice echoed through the large room. "I don't like how you're running this joint." He smirked, standing up from sitting on the floor, henchmen flanking him on each side.
"Justin, Chuck, leave us. Obviously they're here to speak business." The two reluctantly left, and now it was just you two. "Well?"
"Runaway kids in your fams are being tortured and abused. They're being taken advantage of. They're being treated worse than when they were back home." Your eyes narrowed.
"What are you gonna do?" He shrugged, shoving his hands in his pockets. "That's the way the world is." His eyes locked on your tattoo. "How did you find me here if all you do is run a fam?"
"I asked around. I've gotta protect my kids. They're like real family now."
He scoffed. "No one who has to run away knows what real family is." He started stepping toward you.
"How long have you believed that?" Your tone changed abruptly. It was softer. "How long have you gone, not knowing that you can choose a new family?" He stopped, just a foot away from you. "How long?"
"My whole life." You cautiously brought your hand out. You laid it on his shoulder, his skin cold, but yours warm.
"No one should have to think like that." His dark eyes sparked for a moment. "Your friends, do you love them?"
"They're just...place-holders for when I can get Eli back."
"Olly," He perked up at his name. "They seem like they would do anything for you. Wouldn't you do the same?" He blinked at you, unsure what to say. You took a hair and from your wrist. "C'mere, let me tie that mess of hair up, then you can get your friends and I'll take you guys out for food, okay?"
He let you tie his hair back, sitting on the floor, a little stunned. Your fingers brushed against his face, making sure to get everything. "Really, though, you should check on those fams."
"I'll see what I can do."

You were brought back to reality by Justin clearing his throat. "A couple hours after we got home, I found you two wrapped up in his coat in the corner. You were both asleep, but he had his arms around you. He's never had anyone talk to him like they truly cared. I'm sure he fell in love with you." Chuck flicked his cigarette into the pit.

You hugged the urn tighter. "I loved him more than anything."
"We'll see him again some day. He'll be waiting." Justin put an arm around you.
You'll greet him with the love that never left.
