My best friend and I have been friends for 11 years. We would spend most days at her place after school, since my own home life was a nightmare. Her parents have always been warm and welcoming to me. If I went there after a gap of more than 3 days her mom would tell me they had missed me. If I was there and her dad came, he'd say "oh my second daughter is here today" and go get dessert for us or send her older brother. We never hung out at our place because my house is a wreck. My parents fight every single day, and nothing I do is ever good enough. A couple of months ago, I had streaked my hair just to check it out and they called me a whore. When we had tests and exams in school, we'd spend all day at her place so I could get some peace and quiet.

She went to a university in another city while I went to one in ours and I've stayed in my home this first year. My parents had convinced me to not live in the dorms and I had thought that now I'm in college things would change at home. I was wrong. I met my best friend's parents at the supermarket a while back and they had told me they missed having me around and to visit whenever. Ive really taken them up on this. When I'm there they let me study and do my work in her room (she knows and is totally cool with it), while they spoil me by sending up food every few hours. It really has been my safe space.

The past couple of weeks at my house have been hell. I've cried most days. I've been applying for summer jobs and have a few things shaping up for me. I am committed to finding accommodation once the term ends at the end of May or worst-case start of September (I cant do another school term at my home). Ive just been busy with schoolwork and job applications and it'll be difficult to deal with that right now too. But every day I stay here is biting away at my sanity. AITA if I ask her and her parents if I can stay there till the end of the term? Even if I somehow don't have something sorted by the end of May I won't stay longer and will come up with somewhere else to stay until I get my accommodation sorted, I just want some peace until this term ends. I've had sleepovers at her place many times before. I think her parents will say yes. Now that she nor her brother is there, her mom tells me she loves when I visit as it's too quiet there now. I don't want to abuse their kindness. So AITA if I ask them?
