azaire kade carmine
i groaned as my phone started ringing, i swear i just went to sleep 15 minutes ago....
it was the day before xylah's birthday and last night i spent i don't know how long out doing drop offs and drills.
i got extra money just in case, then i had spent the day making sure everything was in place for her day...i wasn't trying to do things last minute.
my eyes automatically squint as i try to read the name across my bright phone screen,"hello?" i rasped out rubbing my eyes.
"yo..azaire, i think you needa come over.." i heard namari's voice and muffled voices and crying in the background.
"what's going on?" i asked as i quickly sat up.
"i don't exactly know how much xylah told you about her autism, but she has these moments where she can have episodes or fits— and right now i feel like she really needs you.." she said and i was putting on clothes as she spoke.
"shit- i've been trying to m-make sure everything straight for her birthday, i'll admit i haven't spent as much t-time with her but i still check in on her w-when i can." i quickly explained as i looked for my car keys.
"don't think the episode is specifically just about you, it's other things she doesn't always talk about." she said.
"alright i'm finna be on the way." i said before hanging up.

matiyah opened the door for me,"she's in her bedroom...be careful with certain things you say right now."
i nodded and walked down the hall, i could hear her sniffles once i got to her door.
i knocked on her door instead of just walking in, i didn't get a response and i slowly opened her bedroom door.
i looked around her room and it was slightly messy, she was balled up against the wall hugging herself and clawing at her arms.
i shrugged off my jacket and sat down in front of her,"pretty girl..."
once i spoke her eyes snapped to mine, they were bloodshot and puffy. her face red and stained with tears.
"what's wrong ma?" i asked softly and she whimpered before holding her arms out.
i quickly took her into my lap,"you w-wanna talk about it?" i asked and she quickly shook her head no hanging onto me as if i would disappear.
"you know i gotchu, right?" i asked her and she nodded.
i used my shirt to wipe her face, once i was done she looked up at me before speaking,"kiss..." she mumbled.
a small smile came on my face and i leaned down pecking her lips, nose, and forehead.
