Helping Hand

Pairing/BROTP: Kaz and Mara (Kara/Maz, BROTP)

(Btw I want each oneshot to be less than 3000 words so I can get them out faster.)

Kaz

I was sleeping soundly until I was awoken by a loud banging on my window. I'm not usually a light sleeper, but it snapped me right up. I stare at the window to see Mara pointing down, at my lock. I yawn, get up, unlock the window, and let her in.

Mara climbs in the house, and drops a bag she was carrying.

"Mara, what the hell? You could've waken up Kyle." I whisper, trying to avoid waking up my baby brother.
"I'm sorry, Kaz. I just couldn't get into Oliver's house, and I really need someone to talk to." I see tears welling up in Mara's eyes.
"What's wrong?" I lead her to my bed.
"It's my mom." Mara quietly sniffles.
"What happened?"
"Well, I was sleeping when I woke up to sirens and ambulances.." Mara starts.

Mara

"What's going on?" I get up from my bed, walking downstairs to see policemen and ambulances burst through the door, grabbing my mom, putting her on a gurney, and escorting her out.

"Mom?! What's going on?!" I yell out the door, trying to get her attention.
"Sorry sweetie, but your mother had a very bad seizure and some alcohol withdrawals. We're going to have to take her to the hospital, I'm sorry." A lady, in a police uniform, looking no older than 25 informs me.

"Will she be alright?!"

"At this point, I can't say. But we have to take her into custody before anything really bad happens. Is there anyone else in the house?"
"N-No. M-My big sister is out with her friends, so it was only me and her." I answer.
"Oh, okay, you want a ride to a friend's house or something?" The police officer smiles. I know her smile was to cheer me up, but it didn't help.
"I th-think have one friend I can go to."
"Okay. Go upstairs and get enough clothes for about two weeks. Your mom isn't going to be released for a while. Also grab your house key if you have one." The officer demands.

"O-Okay." I do as told and once I'm done she walks me to her car as we drive away.

Kaz

"Jesus fucking Christ."

"I know, I never thought it would get this bad." Mara starts trembling.
"Has this happened before?"
"Yes. My mom is an alcoholic, so the seizures happened all the time. I didn't expect the police to come." She sighs, wiping tears from her face.
"I'm so sorry, Mara." I give her a hug. I hear her sniffle once again, and she hugs me back.

"It wasn't anything you could control." Mara says when I let go.

"But I should. I wouldn't want shit like this to happen to you. I love you too much, dude."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going to have to go back home tomorrow to my mom complaining about walking home and then me having to call the police again in the middle of the night." Mara crosses her arms and falls back on my bed.
"Wow. I really am sorry, Mara. No child should go through that. My mom isn't a good mom, but even she wouldn't put us through that." I start to twiddle with my fingers.

"I just want a break. That's all I want."

"Well, if you want a break, maybe you can stay here for a while?" I suggest.
"Are you sure?" Mara questions.
"Of course. I care about you, plus it'll be nice to have the extra company." I smile at her.
"Thanks, Kaz. This means the world to me." Mara grabs me and puts me in one more embrace. I hug her back.
"Anytime, Mara."

Mara lets go of me, and sighs.

"I brought some blankets, and a pillow. I can  sleep on the floor." Mara walks over to her bag that she dropped earlier, and grabs a blanket from it.
"No need. We can sleep in my bed together. It's big enough."
"Are you sure?" Mara asks.
"Definitely." I nod.
"Thanks, dude."
"No problem."

Mara lays down under my blanket, and falls asleep quickly.

I gently kiss her forehead, and lay down as well, falling asleep soundly.

(At Mighty Med)

I was looking at Tecton's vitals before Oliver walks up to me.

"Sup, Kaz." He greets.
"Hey, Oliver."
"Mara told me what you did yesterday. Thanks for being there for her, I was out of town visiting my grandma." Oliver thanks.
"Oh, it's no problem. Mara's my best friend. It's my pleasure to help her." I say before I nod at Tecton, meaning he could be released. Oliver signed his paper for me, before we continue on with our conversation.

"Listen, Mara told me about her mom being sent to the hospital. So for you to make time for her, even in the middle of the night, that proves to me that you have a heart of gold, even if you make fun of us from time to time." He points to my chest and pats it gently.

If I wasn't smiling before, I am now.

"Mara really appreciates you. She had the biggest smile on her face today." Oliver informs.

"Where is she now?" I ask.
"She's with Skylar. They're hanging with Jordan today."

"Oh. Well, let her know to come to my house later. My mom agreed to drive to her house to get the rest of her stuff." I pat his shoulder and was about to walk off before Oliver stops me.
"Wait! Mara wanted me to give this to you."
"What is it?" I stare at a small painting Oliver gave me, it was me and her holding hands.

"It's a painting Mara made. It was to thank you for being a Helping Hand"

-----------------

Not me writing this shit based off my worst fear for my mother.

Wow. That felt good to write and idk why.

Also sorry if it didn't end well.

Quick side note, for the next chapter, should it be a BROTP or a regular pairing?

Okay, so, this took three days to write. Not a lot to read ik ik but if I take too long for the chapters in LREF to come out, I can just post a oneshot.

Also I'll post another one in three days for Bradley's birthday.

He'll be 23 years old. Jesus, where did the years go?

Anyway, I love you all, bye!!
