Chapter 19- Can't wait

Asreal's POV

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, my family and I were eating breakfast or more like we were eating breakfast while my mum was eating ice cream and jollof rice. Noah told me that rice can be considered as breakfast in Nigeria even heavy things like eba, amala or semo can be your breakfast.

" Mum, if you have a friend that needs help but never asks for it because they feel weak but they are constantly fighting demons and never win, what would you do?" My sister said while focusing on her food.

Mum dropped her spoon and dad dropped his phone but Aries was oblivious to everything. " Whoever that is is a strong person and I hope they can come over that darkness. I'll do everything to help them because they are very precious to me."

" What if they're closed off and always think of death but never do it?!!!" She looked at my mum with tears in her eyes. " I dont want to wake up the next day to see them die knowing I could've done something for them even though they never asked for it." She was crying now.

Mum was stunned, the table was quiet " I can't save them if I dont know what happened and they dont want to open which I understand. What can I do mum?!!!" She looked defeated.

" What if they are very lively and have things they want to do but can't do because of trauma? What then?" I dont know where this came from but I hate seeing my sister cry.

" Mum what should I do?" She hugged my mum.

" If Mrs Ajayi was going through something like that, what will you do."

" I'll want to make them so happy that they forget how hard it hurts even though they can never be fully healed. I'll pray for them. I'll be with them even though they dont want me to be there just to let them know that they aren't alone."

Breakfast went like with my sister crying and my mum trying to comfort her. It's rare for her to cry and feel for someone and she's feeling a lot of pain for whoever this is.

I wanted to ask her who she was talking about but I didn't want to ask. I dont know how to become mushy to someone.

It was Monday and I was waiting to do the bet that I won with Chris. I've already thought of good things to tell her to do. I was waiting for it. I stopped in my tracks by when I saw Noah carrying his sister on his back and it looked like she just finished crying.

I shrugged it off since everyone has their bad days and it wasn't my business. I  drop my brother off and went to the senior's wing. I was talking to Ben when Noah approached us with a stressed face, he had eye bags even his dressing was off.

" Dude, what happened to you?" Ben sent him a concerned look

He just waves the question of collecting his book from his locker, our lockers were 9ne the same row. He slaps my shoulder as he walks off to class.

" I dont know what's wrong with everyone today. Even Ashanti looks messed up." Ben sighed.

" My sister too, she just started asking my mum questions about a depressed friend during breakfast."

We left the matter and went to our classes. Noah was spaced out throughout the day and I didn't even see him often. He always runs off as soon as the bell rings. I didn't want to pry into his life but I was getting concerned.
