Tw: yelling, crying

Kits pov:

I'm filming for season three right now, and my phone keeps vibrating. It's been doing that for the past ten minutes, and now it's getting really hard to ignore, so I finished up the last few lines with joe before I take out my phone and see 36 missed calls from river

I quickly walk away a bit and call him back. It takes about two rings for him to pick up

"What's wrong, river, I'm filming right now, i can't -" I say, but I get cut off before i can finish my sentence

Rivers crying, like a lot, like he's in a crisis. Well, it sounds worse than that. It sounds like he's just found out about his best friend dying, No offence to Rosie, though

My voice immediately softens, and I talk to him gently, trying to get to the bottom of why he's crying

"Hey, rivvy, why are you crying? What's happened?" I ask, I sit down on a chair waiting for an answer

He doesn't respond and just continues crying

"Have you gone nonverbal?" I say quietly. "Can you make any noise if you have?"

I heard a bang that sounded close to River, so I'm pretty sure that he is, but I'm not too sure

"Can you make that noise again, please?" I asked

River makes another bang. Okay, so he's gone nonverbal, so now there is no way of me finding out what's happened. When River goes nonverbal, it can take from twenty minutes to a good few hours for him to calm down and for him to be able to talk again

"Do you think you could try and take some deep breaths to help you calm down?" I ask

He makes like some frustrated grunt. Honestly, it breaks my heart hearing him like this, I wish I could just hug him and never let go

"Hey, it's okay if you can't. That's fine!" I comfort. "Have you got doggy with you?"

Doggy is river's stuffed animal that he's had since he was born, and it is one of the things that can help him come out of his meltdowns and crisis'

When I mentioned doggy, he cried louder, like he was wailing and screaming

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong, what's happened river, why are you crying more?" I ask, standing up, I can tell something is definitely wrong. I've never heard him cry like this

"B-b-bella.." He says in-between sobs, his voice was quiet. I could just hear him

"What did she do?" I ask

He doesn't say anything else and crys more. I don't know what to do. Thoughts spiral around my head, wondering what his sister has done to him

I get cut away from my thoughts when I get river trying to take deep breaths

"Good boy, riv, keep taking deep breaths it'll help you calm down." I say

As River is trying to take deep breaths, I pull my phone away from my ear, and I look at the camera crew and Alice and the rest of the cast

"I'm really sorry but I have to go. I can't leave River like this." I say

"Kit, it's fine. Make sure that he's okay!" Alice says

I nod and quickly go in the dressing rooms and place my phone on one of the tables and put it on speaker, I think river's given up with taking deep breaths because he keeps making those frustrated grunts, and there's a bit of banging so he's obviously hitting something

When he's like this, he can get a bit violent. If you know what I mean. He's not like hitting me or stuff like that or wrecking my stuff. He usually just hits himself or wrecks his own stuff. He's hit me a few times, but I could tell he didn't mean it. He was just really frustrated and basically had the mind of a three year old, so I didn't have a go at him or anything.
