You hear hushed voices talking but can't make out what they were saying. One voice was definitely Clover's, did you hear Gaster too? Ink, he was one but he was upset. You could hear Com too. Rus and Sans as well. You had to focus but soon you could make out what was being said. 
"Its only been a week. Honestly I would still recommend her doing online classes until the semester ends." Gaster said. 
"She can't just lay around the house all day though Gaster. You know she'll go crazy like that." Clover said.
"Maybe a couple more weeks would help." Com suggested. You could hear Ink sobbing nonsense that no one could really make out.
"Not everyone is leaving her alone though." Rus said. "People are at her because she's close to us now."
"Dad, I don't think her staying home for three months straight will help her." Sans said. 
"Well what is going on isnt good. " he says and you open your eyes.
"No…. was just shocked….." you say and everyone looks at you. You look and see Ink crying hard and being hugged tightly by his mom. "Ink…." you say he looks up at you. You make a grabbing motion at him and he flings himself at you. You notice that you've been moved to your bed.
He hugs you and you hug back holding onto him tightly. He continues to cry and sob apologies. "What happened?" Clover asked.
"I was at the mall with Rus and we were going to get something to eat when Ink barreled into me. He was crying how he is now but ran off without saying anything. After he ran off Error, CQ, Geno and Fresh showed up. Error was calling go Ink but was too late. CQ managed to get him to leave without doing anything but glare and yell a little bit. After that I found him in the music shop…." You explain and you rub Ink's back. He calmed down some while you talked. "He explained something that Error did when we were kids and…. guess it just caused my mind to go into shock." 
Gaster frowns. "What did that spoiled little brat do?" You and Ink both stiffen.
"I….. it's not something I'd like to talk about….." you say softly. 
"Ink." Com says and Ink clings to you tighter, putting pressure on your ribs. You groan softly.
"Ink… ease up some on the ribs….." he immediately does.
"S-sorry…" he says.
"Its okay, you didn't mean any harm." You smile and pull his scarf off of him. "You don't have to hide behind that. I don't blame you for what he did."
You notice everyone look at you oddly. You tilt your head. "We're so missing something." Sans says. You look to Ink.
"We don't have to tell them." You said. "That day you might not have initially done the right thing but you did eventually." Ink sighs and nods. "I'll tell you guys about it later. Maybe."
Clover sighs. "Fine but you need to take it easy for the next little bit. The rest of the week and next week you're staying home. We'll reevaluate after that."
"Auntie! Why??" You say with teary eyes. You were just starting to make some more new friends. 
"Because you're not doing well mentally."
"One panic attack and a blackout isn't that bad. It was worse after the fire." You say.
"Sweetie I'm just worried about you."
"I'll take the next couple days but I'm starting to make even more friends at school. I don't wanna just disappear on them and ruin that."
"(Y/N) apparently Red heard about what happened. He's on his wa-" Sans is interrupted by Red teleports to the other side of you. 
"Hey Red. What's wrong?" You ask innocently. He frowns at you.
"You know what's wrong." You give him puppy eyes and pout slightly. 
"What if I don't?" 
"Well you sure as hell do. What happened?"
"Just a little too much stress today. I'll be fine."
"You're not bein completely honest."
"A lot happened today." You look over to Ink and see that has fallen asleep. You chuckle softly and pet his skull. "Ink broke up with Error. It was really hard for him. Then he confessed stuff that I can't tell you it all without his say so."
"So it shocked ya so much ya passed out?"
"Pretty much." You smile softly at your old friend. "I feel bad for him, he probably has nightmares about all of it. What he told me would scar anyone." You say softly.
"(Y/N), I'm worried about my son. You know he was never the same after you got caught up in that fire…."
"I know but he's getting better. It will just take time. It will go better now that he doesn't have that demon watching over his every move." You say. And to you, Error was a demon. He was sent from hell to hurt you. 
"You remember how he got that scarf right?" Com asked. You chuckle and nod.
"Yeah I remember. Me and mom were shopping for his birthday gift. His party was the next day but we were eight already. Ink always like drawing and I saw the huge scarf. It looked like something an artist would wear." Your gaze unfocused as you think. You continue to pet Ink's skull to make sure that he's fine and smile at the memories running through your head. "I pulled on mom's arm and said "mommy! Look at that! It's so pretty! Inky would love it!" She laughed and said "should we get that for him cupcake?" Of course I said yes. Mom got it and taught me how to wrap presents that night. When I gave it to him the next day he opened and his smile was brighter than any I'd seen on him before. The scarf was huge on him though." You laugh loudly at the image of Ink wearing the scarf as a kid. You didn't notice that you'd accidentally woken him up in the process so do you continue your story. "I can still remember how you could barely see his eyes over the crazy amount of fabric."
"Well to be fair we were eight." You whip your head to the side to see him awake and he had a huge grin on his face. You feel your face heat up and you turn towards Red who had a shit eating grin on his face. 
"What's wrong sweetheart?" You hide your face in your hands and Ink pulls you closer to him.
"She didn't know I was awake~ she's embarrassed that I heard her story~ so it wasn't your mom who picked it out~" he teased you and you whine. Managing to slip out of his grip, you jump off the bed and run down stairs.
