"La'siah what's the matter ?" Ten year old me asked my bestfriend La'siah as I departed myself from the conversation my mother pulled me in , walking towards the rusted brown park bench he sat on
"Nothing I'm ok ." La'siah assured with a fake smile plastered over his face with watery eyes
"You can trust me siah , what's the matter ?" I repeated turning my full body towards La'siah who looked like he was on the verge of tears
"My dad just keeps yelling at me , when I'm trying my best !" La'siah angrily grunted through his mouth as he held his hands over his face with feelings of disappointment covered over him
La'siah struggled deeply with his father , his father always put extra work and stress onto La'siah every since his moms passing
"Let's go and pray over at the fountain like we always do ."I proudly offered rubbing La'siahs back in the process
"alright ." He stood up and grabbed my hand gently walking me over to the fountain
Gently removing our hands from the hold it was in , we started to kneel against the fountains rim as we held our hands together and began praying
"Amen !" I smiled lifting my head as La'siah did the same , "Thank you ." He smiled shedding a tear
"For what ?" I questioned extending my arm to wipe the tear from his face
"For being my bestfriend" La'siah whispered making me smile revealing my crooked teeth but I didn't care because La'siah always told me how much he adored them which made me forget about how much others bullied me for it
"I love you weirdo ." I chuckled pulling him into a hug
"I love you too Ny'Lani !" He chuckled
"Ny'Lani come on we're leaving !" My mother Crystal waved me over as she hiked my 2 year sister Kiara up on her hip while trying to keep her to go plates held in her other hand
"I'm coming" I blurted back before doing my Bestfriend hand shake with La'siah
"If anything go wrong with your dad just come over , my momma would understand ." I spoke as I upped from my knees as I started to walk towards my mother
"You know I will" La'siah winked making me laugh before shortly rejoicing with my mother and sister while he departed from me walking towards his dad and other siblings
