My brother's bestfriend

good fucking morning

Asher's pov-

"Her anxiety gets really bad at times I've got to do something about it" i rant to Damon he's my bestfriend who lives in Florida l trust him with Naira's life.

"Hmm l know is she still scared of thunder and all that stuff?" He asked from the other side.

"Yeah a lot" l said sighing

"Well I'm in tow-" Damon started but was cut off with Naira calling me.

"Hey man I'll call you later okay? Naira's up" l said

I hung up before he could answer.

"Bubby?" She said in that little voice rubbing her eyes.

"Yes darling" l asked pulling her hands away from her eyes and tucking her hair behind her ears.

"I don't wanna go to school today" she said. Here we go again i thought to myself.

"And why's that?" I asked smiling I mean I do let her take days off when she isn't feeling alright which is a lot. She's too weak for her age.

"I..don't feel..we..well" she said hesitantly. Does this girl know how terrible of a liar she is? I see it in her eyes.

"Okay well I'll take you to the doctor's and I don't know maybe he'll give you an injection" l was laughing internally seeing her eyes widen and smirk disappear. Smarty thinks she's smarter than her big brother.

"Okay you win Ash." She said getting out of bed

Naira's pov-

"Fuck" i mutter to myself at the thought of school not that I'm really bad at studies it's just those kids.

Yes I'm bullied ever since Ash got out of school it's been hell for me. I don't tell Ash as l already give him enough trouble.

I brush my teeth , take a shower and dress into one of Ash's hoodie. (I don't wanna get spanked if l wear something too short)

I don't get the girls who are way too ready for school like bitch it's 7 am.

I reach down to see Asher setting a plate of toast , scrambled eggs , bacon with some orange juice.

"Thanks bubby" i say cheerfully.

He just nods in response. He doesn't do that often. I try talking to him but he doesn't say anything just "hmms" and nods

I get up and hug him from behind that was just his torso l guess l mean I am 5'4 but he's 6'4. Damn ikr.

He turned around glaring at me "could you leave me alone for a moment Naira!? Stop fucking nudging me all the time! Go sit eat your breakfast and I'll drop you"

I felt my heart break what did l say that made him so mad? I was just telling him about stuff which he always listens to. Maybe I'm just what the school kids say *a burden on this planet*.

I muttered an "I'm sorry" which I'm not even sure he heard. And l ran into my room. I did hear him call me but I couldn't breathe.

I ran into my room crouching beside my bed with my face buried in my hands and chest stuck to knees.

I heard him Banging the door screaming apologies but that made it worse.

"I..I" l squeaked out

"Yes baby you what?" I heard him. How did he hear me?

"No breathe bubby" i managed to get out. Okay that took all my air.

The door barged open the next minute and l was scooped up in strong protective arms with tears flowing out of my eyes.

"Baby focus on breathing in and out match my breathing darling c'mon" his voice held panic but he still was calm.

Now l was breathing evenly. But my cries didn't stop i don't know why. I was still in Ash's arms.

"I'm sorry bubby" i manage to cough out.

Asher's pov-

God what have l done.
I was thinking about Naira's anxiety too much that l lashed out on her. Fuck.

Why do l forget she's even more sensitive than a butterfly!!

Hearing her apologize about a mistake l made. My gut clenched at the guilt.

"No no baby it's Bubba's fault he's so sorry baby shh you can stop crying noone's gonna hurt you love" I try my best to calm her.

When she gets calm. And now clinging to the apron's straps I had on.

"It's okay baby we're late let's leave" i tell her but I feel her tense up.

"O..okay" she whispers and gets up.

I drop her to school.
"Was it something i should worry about" l think to myself.

Naira's pov-
Here we go again..
