"What's going on?" Your aunt says.
"Cut my hand on the knife there. Was putting dishes away…." You say and she takes your hand from Edge and leads you to the island. You sit on the Bar stool and let your aunt do her thing.
"At least its not deep. No need for stitches."
"Well good cause even if it did need them I'm not going to the hospital."
Edge and Nightmare both have a confused look on their face. "Well if you needed them I'd get Sans to take you by his magic."
"That place is evil!" You say loudly as she cleans your hand. Your face twitches.
"Its not evil. You just had bad luck with nurses."
"Eeeeeeevil!" You hiss and Red bursts out laughing. You glare at him as you get antiseptic cream put on the wound. "What's so funny Edgy McMy Chemical Romance?" He flushes and stops laughing. 
"Oh? What's with that nickname?" Sans says with a grin.
"Weeeeeell-"
"Nothing!" He yells loudly. You laugh hard as Clover ties off the bandage.
"There we go. I'm going to meet up with some friends this afternoon. You good to be here without me?"
"Yeah, we'll figure out something for supper." You say. You think for a moment. "Pizza party?"
"Well we're already havin a movie marathon so why not?" You giggle at him and the boys get leftover cupcakes and cookies from last night. You get up and start setting up the livingroom for the movies. You start to rearrange the furniture and set up lots of drinks and when your front door busts open and Blue runs to you and hugs you.
"Hey, Blue Boy. Fancy running into you here." You giggle as he hugs you tighter. You notice the rest of your friends and Black, looking around, presumably for Edge. 
"WE MISSED YOU!" Blue yells at you. You notice Edge dragging Black up the stairs now and you laugh.
"What's so funny?" Jazzy asks and you laugh harder. Red walks in then and Ink looks him over.
"How are you doing Red?"
"Eh, Been worse. I'm pretty relaxed now though." You see Cherry, Forté and Buttercup looking at you sadly. You look down at the floor as Buttercup comes over to hug you.
"I guess those were some pretty nasty burns you got as a kid."
"Y-yeah….." you stutter out. You pull your locket over your head and look at it sadly.
"Who gave you that?" Cherry asks.
"My parents. It was on my eighth birthday…." 
Ink looks over at you and you see sadness in his eyes. You walk over and give him a light punch in the shoulder. He looks shocked at this.
"So Disney marathon. I have disney plus on the TV. Pick a movie. We're having a pizza party." You walk to the kitchen and order a bunch of different kinds. You sit on the bar stool and sigh. Edge was right. No one could be okay all the time.
You lay your head on your arms and close your eyes. You were feeling so shitty. You could have lost a friend yesterday and all you were able to do was be annoyed with him for being himself…. You weren't a good friend. You start to cry. You knew that you weren't a good friend or really a good person. Suddenly theres a hand on your shoulder. You freeze completely. 
"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Dream asks. You nod against your arms. "I feel that you're feeling down. Wanna talk about it?" You take a deep breath and wipe your eyes.
"Just a headache and my hand hurts. Did Ink pick a movie?"
"He picked Beauty and the beast." He looks at you as you smile sweetly at him. 
"That's my favourite. Let's go. The pizza should be here too." You go into the living room to perch on the arm of the couch by Rus. He looks at you and you give him a close eyed smile. About half an hour into the movie the pizza arrives and you bring it in. You all eat what you want. After a few minutes Black and Edge come down to get something to eat. When they do Edge eyes you skeptically. You were still perched next to Rus, across the room from the twins and Red. Dream was staring at you rather than watching the movie. When beauty and the beast ends everyone was talking about what to watch next.
"How about Atlantis?" You say and they all look at you. "What?" 
"That's not a musical." Jazzy says. You look over at him.
"As much as we know you like dancing in your seat to the songs, those of us with headaches would prefer not to have to listen to them." You snap back. You realize what you said and clap your hands over your mouth. You tear up and launch yourself up and sprint up the stairs to your room. You slam the door and lock it. You grab one of the blankets still in your room from the fort and go to your bathroom. You climb into the tub you have there and just hide after you lock the bathroom door too. Tears were streaming down your face and you were sobbing softly but the echo of your bathroom made it louder. You hear pounding on your bedroom door but don't move. You dont deserve them as your friends. Finally you pull your head under the blanket and everything was dark but far from quiet. 
You dont know how long it took but the pounding on your bedroom door stopped. You get up and shuffle out of your bathroom only to flop on your bed. You just wanted the dark and the silence to wash over you. You hear three precise knocks at your door.
"(Y/N) OPEN UP OR I WILL ALLOW RED TO TELEPORT IN THERE TO CHECK ON YOUR PHYSICAL STATE." You hear Edge call out. You groan softly before going to lean on the door.
"Edge….. not now……" you say weakly.
"IF YOU LET ME IN THE OTHERS WILL STAY OUT." You think for a moment.  Should you? "(Y/N)." He says with a slight amount of annoyance. You sigh and unlock the door and open it a hair. You shuffle to your bed and face plant onto it. There was a slight argument before you hear Edge come in. He sits on your bed next to you after crossing the room.
"It seems I was right, you aren't doing well after all." You groan softly and he pulls the blanket from your face. You have your eyes closed. 
".....just wanna be left alone……" you whisper. He sighs and you feel your hair brushed back.
"You are almost as troublesome as Red. Are you hurt?" You lazily open your left eye to see him looking at you. Your gaze was dull.
"........not hurt……." You manage to say. He sighs and pulls you properly onto the bed.
"They're worried about you." You close your eye again and turn your head from him. 
"...........maybe they'll understand everything then………."
"What dont they already understand about you?" You pull a pillow to your chest and hide your face in it.
".............its my fault………… they're dead because of me……….. I can't save anyone………. I cant help anyone…….."
"You've helped plenty of people. You just don't see it."
"..........who…….."
"Well you've helped my brother. If you hadn't given him the opportunity to leave there I doubt he would have stood up to our father like he did. And we would still be suffering from that abusive prick. Also theres Nightmare. He would still have that parasite eating away at every one of his emotions if not for you."
"........someone else would have came along to do the same thing………" you say and Edge pulls your shoulder so you're on your back.
"Listen here. No one else would have been able to do what you've done. So many people have tried."
".........giving me too much credit…….." he yells out in frustration. You get up, grab another blanket before grabbing a sketch book and a few pencils then sit in the window seat. Edge storms out of your room and slams the door. You slowly start sketching. It was a picture of your mother. When she was alive she had this pretty pink sundress. You finish the base drawing and lean your head against the window. You stare at your pencil and your mind starts to wander to darker things when theres two knocks at your door. You ignore it and close your eyes. It happens again and again. The fourth time it happened you get annoyed and snap.
"Who's there?!"
"Adore." You hear Red say.
"Adore who?" You decided just to go along so you didn't have to listen to the knocking.
"Adore Is between us. Open up?" He says you think. Then the knocking starts again.
"Go away!" You yell.
"That's not how knock knock jokes go sweetheart."
He knocks again and you sigh knowing he wont stop till you let him in.
"Who's there?"
"Nobel." Red says.
"Nobel who?"
"Nobel….. that's why I was knockin." You sigh and open the door while looking down. Red pulls you into a big bear hug. "Ya look like Reaper with that blanket over your head." He tries to push it off your head but you dodge his hand and slip out of his grip. You go back to your bed and he follows after shutting the door. 
".....go away Red……." You grumble out.
"Nah, I'm stayin here."
