"chandler." the word was simple and familiar to kaylani, but it was a broken hallelujah falling from her lips at three a.m.
"hey, kay, hey, shhh." his voice was soft, his arms a welcoming embrace as he enfolded her in them, nudging his parents' front door closed with his foot as he kissed the top of her head. now that she was safe and alone with her best friend, she let sobs wrack her body. it was so rare for it to happen that chandler knew it must have been something serious, and his brotherly instincts kicked in automatically.
"hey, hey, did rowan break up with you? i'll... well, nothing legit. fight her, i'll do that. no one messes with you and gets away with it and-"
"chandler." she cut off his rambling with a sigh, pulling back with a hiccup. "it isn't- she's great. I just- I, uh-" she shook her head, a sob escaping her lips as she looked at him. He blurred through her vision, and eventually she just stumbled her way to the couch.
"kay, hey, kay. look at me. breathe. what's wrong?" he sat in front of her,
"uh, it's... my dad is back in the hospital, chan. it's back and I can't fix it and I want to be with him but my mom said i'm not allowed to see him. I want to see my daddy, chandler. h-he's supposed to... t-to live until he's eighty. to s-see me gr-graduate..."
"gah, the world is really against us this year," chandler mumbled, hugging her close to him. he let her cry, stroking her hair as she sobbed. he refused to let go, even when she fell asleep on him. he fell asleep soon, too, but not before mumbling a promise to get her to her dad. she deserved that much.
