The ride home was quiet. The only sounds were the hum of the engine and the occasional sniffle from me as I stared out the window, exhausted. My body felt heavy like all the fight had drained out of me the second Stef pulled me into that hug on the bridge. I still didn’t know what to think. My mind was a mess of emotions- guilt, relief, and doubt. 

Stef had already called Lena, and I knew the second I walked through that door, I was going to have to face my family. A part of me still wasn’t sure if I deserved that if I deserved them. I expected Stef or Mike to say something, maybe lecture me or tell me how stupid I had been. But they didn’t. Stef just kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror, her eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite place. And Mike? He gave me a small nod when we pulled into the driveway like he was letting me know I wasn’t alone. I swallowed hard as I stepped out of the car, my stomach twisting with nerves. The second I stepped inside, the front door barely had time to close before I was practically tackled. 

“Y/N!” 

I barely had time to register what was happening before Callie and Jude wrapped their arms around me the tightest, holding on like they were afraid I’d disappear again. I felt Mariana and Jesus hugging me too, Brandon’s hand gripping my shoulder tightly. 

“You scared the hell out of us!” Callie’s voice cracked as she buried her face in my hoodie. 

“Don’t ever do that again.” 

Jude clung to my side, his small arms squeezing as tightly as they could. 

“We thought we lost you.” 

I didn’t realize I was shaking until I felt them holding onto me. My breath hitched, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I let myself lean into them, let myself believe that maybe, just maybe, I really was a part of this family. 

Mariana pulled away slightly, wiping her eyes. “You’re stuck with us, okay? No getting rid of us.” 

Jesus nodded, his voice unusually serious. “Yeah, you’re our brother, whether you like it or not.” 

Brandon exhaled, shaking his head. “We were all so scared, man.” 

I swallowed the lump in my throat. “I’m sorry…” My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper. 

Callie pulled back just enough to cup my face, her eyes full of something fierce and unbreakable. 

“You don’t have to be sorry. You just have to believe us when we say we love you.” 

Jude nodded quickly. “And that you’re not going anywhere. Ever.” 

Tears burned behind my eyes as I looked at all of them, their faces filled with nothing but love and relief. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like I had to fight like I had to prove I deserved to be here. Maybe I always did. 

Lena stepped forward then, her eyes glassy as she smoothed a hand over my hair before pulling me into a warm hug. “Welcome home, sweetheart.” 

I closed my eyes, finally letting the tears spill over as I whispered. “I’m home.”
