My Savior (Dave East)

23) Goodnight David

Sorry I'm late 🙂

.Christina.

The phone hangs up and I immediately jump out of bed and grab my phone.

I bang on Rashads door and he answers.

"Hey...." She pauses.

Wow.

"Chris. Um. What are you doing here?"

"I live her ma." I say imitating him.

"Ma?"

"Aye Chris. What's up?" Rashad says coming to the door.

"I need you to run me to the airport. I don't know what's wrong but Zays mom called and said I need to come."

"Yea Ight. Lemme grab my keys."I guess he could see the look on my face and he goes and grabs the keys off the counter.

I look back at Chelsea and we rush to the car and he speeds down the highway. It's the grace of God that we didn't get a ticket. We finally make it to the airport and he parks in the front.

"How long you been fucking that girl?"

"Maybe a couple of weeks. Why?"

"Nothing. Just strap up."

I run into the airport and somehow they've made it to where I don't have to get searched and I get right on board. Because it was by plane it only took 30 minutes rather than a hour to get there.

I rush off the plane and I see Xavier's mom. It looks like she's been crying. We get in the car and she pulls off. "What's wrong?"

"His grandma died." She says crying.

"Oh. I'm sorry." I say wrapping my arm around her.

"We thought he was fine. He didn't really cry but when we got home it's like it finally hit him. He went off breaking things and punching walls. He's not a child I can't punish him anymore. He's bigger than me and his father. You're the only one that he's calm around when he doesn't take his medicine."

She starts crying again as we pull into the drive way. I see all of the lights in the house are on. I hop out of the car and head towards the house.

I walk in and his dad points upstairs. I rush up the stairs and see Zay punching the wall with blood running down his arms and hands.

Fuck.

"Zay. Xavier baby look at me." He continues to punch the wall. "Xavier its Christina."

I see tears streaming down his face and he punches even harder. I look at the door and Xaviers dad is holding his wife while she cries. I walk towards him and hug him  from the side and reach up to rub his neck.

He immediately stops and looks down at me. "Chris?" His voice is scratchy and his eyes are red. He hugs me and practically falls to the ground crying.

"I need you to let your mom clean you up okay baby?" I say with tears now rolling down my face. Its hard seeing him like this. He's always so confident and strong.
