Have any of you read Harry potter?
I'm going to assume you remember Harry's utter joy when he was leaving his horrible family to go to Hogwarts.
Now combine that with the happiness of 10 three-year olds. Add a pound of confusion, a teaspoon of tears, and a punch in the back. And you have the rest of the day's events.
They wouldn't let you leave the hospital for a couple of hours, but none of the kids would leave you for the time being. To dismiss the awkward vibe in the air, they asked you questions. Not personal questions, but sweet ones. Soon enough, you felt an emotion you hadn't felt in years. No, not love, but hope. Like you had a chance, and maybe you wouldn't flunk it. The cops came in the middle. They dragged a couple of your friends away at a time to ask questions, then asked you to tell them everything that had happened in the past years. And you did. You told them everything.

Except for your parents conversation. That was your own info. It's not like the cops would care, anyway. Your uncle was gonna go to jail. That information was yours and yours only.
You truly didn't know how any of this was about to go down. It had happened so quickly, you still weren't sure it wasn't a joke. But nobody seemed to joke about it. Dirk and Roxy we're talking to you, Roxy telling you how excited she was that someone so brave would be living with them. You kept blushing and shaking your head. If she knew all of it, she wouldn't call it "brave". As she was talking, a tiny question popped up in the back of your head.
"Roxy?" You asked.
She immediately diverted her attention to you with a serious face. "Yea?"
"Um, I hope this isn't rude, but, do you all live in the same house?" You asked, regretting it the second it came out. But Dirk gave you a half smile under his glasses, and began.
"Well, we all come from a family of very close friends and siblings. We live together, in a huge house. Lots of spare rooms. But, ya know, we do have quite a bit parties." He said, shrugging. Roxy nodded.
"And all of those kids on the bus like Vriska and Sol and Karkitty and the just? They're all our AWESOME friends. It's supa crazy how they just, uh, came over? But they're cool. Don't worry, were happy too have you!!!" Roxy smiled. A warmth filled your chest. These people were so... Kind. To someone they had just met! You felt like a burden, however. You didn't want to make a mess for them!
"E%cuse me, Y/N, I just wanted to make sure you were feeling alright, after you had been through very much." You turned to Equius. "Thank you, I'm feeling better. Even though I feel hurt, I don't feel bad. If that makes any sense."
"Oh, purrfect sense! I know how that feels!" You had sensed that Nepeta and Equius were great friends. That was good, you liked people being friends.
You liked this. You liked being able to breathe without (too much) worry. You liked the feeling that other people cared. You wished it would never end. A voice interrupted your thought.
"UM, Y/N, COULD I PLEASE HAVE A WORD? I DONT WANT TO TAKE UP MUCH TIME, I PROMISE IT WILL BE QUICK."
