My brother's bestfriend

tired.

Naira's pov-

I ruined it.
The night where we could hang out I ruined it.

I was in my washroom. Trying to get the marker off of me. I can't even see clearly through the tears. Why me? What have I done?

There was a knock on the door

"Kid? You alright in there?" It was Asher. God I worry him so much. Is that why dad is always out? Because of me?

"Y..yeah" i squeak out.

"Could you come out. We wanna talk." Said Asher why was his voice a bit stern? Am I in trouble?

I wash my face and hands for the last time and wipe them. The market didn't leave completely but it did leave.

I step out and see them sitting on my bed.
As Ash opens his arms for me.

I hurry towards them as if someone would take them away.
I lay in his arms and bury my face in his chest clinging to his hoodie. Yes i was still crying. God my eyes hurt.

"Shh it's okay. You're okay. Bubba's got you." Ash whispers he choked a bit tho.

"Doll?" Damon whispers running his hand through my hair.

I look up from Ash's chest to see his eyes a bit glossy and damon's eyes full of worry.

"Would you tell us what happened? Please?" Damon says.

"All the kids in my school.. bully me..they leave nasty..St..stuff in my locker and call me na..names sh..she was one of them..she tells me to stay away Bubba..sh..she says I..I" I choke out

Suddenly I feel Ash clench his jaw and Damon tighten his fist. Gosh his veins.

Ash sighed "why didn't you tell me sooner Naira?" He asks.

WHY IS HE CALLING ME NAIRA!?

"I..I.." i choke out

"It's okay doll take your time. Do you want us to leave?" Damon asks.

I nod. Ash places me on the bed as my hair cover my face. He swipes them behind my ear and kisses my forehead. Damon does the same. He feels way different than Ash.

Damon's pov-

I've gotta tell Ash about that motherfucker who was harassing Naira the other day.

We get out of her room. And Ash sits right in front of her door.

I lean beside him. Now we're both sitting out her door.

"I'm a terrible brother Dame" Ash says.

"No you're not Asher. No. You're here for her. It's okay for now. You didn't know. It's not your fault. I comfort him.

"Ash?" I ask

He looks up at me.

"The day i returned..i visited our school..  *i sighed* "Naira was being harassed by a guy..I saved her just in time"

Suddenly Asher got up and punched me in the jaw.
I didn't move as i knew I would recover in no time. But I deserve it.

"YOU ASSHOLE! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME HUH!?!" He said. Tbh I don't blame him.

I laid there as i knew I deserved them. I failed to protect Naira. My doll.

His punches stopped and he laid beside where I was laying. "I'm sorry" he said Coldly.

"I deserved it." I say.

"I'll go talk to the school tomorrow and you're coming with me bitch" Asher says. As we both chuckle a bit.

I peek inside Naira's room.
"She's asleep" i tell Ash.
"X box?" He asks.
"Oh hell yeah!" I say.

We get up and head downstairs.
