A'zariah didn't know what was wrong with her. Most days she would be happy, but on some days she felt like everything was going wrong and crashing down on her.

A'zariah was mentally exhausted, somedays, she felt like she got a hold of it or could control it, but clearly, she couldn't. It was just one of those days.

From Cameron to her and her siblings feel unwanted by their own father to her home life in general to her always feeling anxious and overthinking everything. A'zariah was just tired of it all.

A'zariah didn't know when the tears started. The wetness hitting her checks every second. All she knew it wouldn't stop soon. She tried to contain her crys and tried to be quiet about the fact that she was crying, but i guess it wasn't enough cause soon after Ty'shawn; Khari's dad opened the door with an emphatic expression on his face.

When A'zariah eyes first noticed him, A'zariah quickly wiped her sleeve across her face, trying to hide the fact she was crying, but it wasn't good enough because you could still tell that she was crying.

"You okay A'zariah, why you crying?" said, walking into her room. It was different from her dad, Tryone. Back then, it would probably be the same, but now, if Tryone saw her crying, he would just tell her to "Stop crying, whatchu crying for you got a good life ain't nothing to cry about." It felt like everything changed like a light switched, ever since he met Tanya, putting her and her kids before me and my siblings.

Shaking her head to break her thoughts, she squabbled her brain to find a suitable answer. She didn't wanna lie, but she also didn't want to tell them everything about her yet.

"Home life" was all A'zariah said. Ty'shawn nodded, but he knew it was more to her answer than what she gave him, but he didn't push. Ty'shawn only walked over to her and softly pushed her head on his shoulder. "It's gonna be okay, i promise you that, whatever you're going through, A'zariah." Ty'shawn furrowed his eyebrows to find something more to say. When A'zariah heard that it only made her want to cry more, she didn't. She contained her tears, not wanting to wet Ty'shawn shirt.

Ty'shawn and Jadayah cared and loved for A'zariah and her siblings like they were their own kids, too. They could tell they had already been through so much at a young age. You could feel it even if their faces wouldn't tell it, as much as they tried to conceal it.

"You're so strong, A'zariah, you and your siblings. Yall are one of God's strongest soldiers, I know he got a pathway for you all. Even the obstacles in yall life try to interfere with it, okay?" He said, pulling her head off of him and pulling her into a hug, rubbing her back.

A'zariah didn't know what hit her the hardest, but a few tears dropped out of her eyes.

"Okay," A'zariah said lowly

"Good, you gonna be straight. Ty'shawn said, hugging me once more, then leaving the room.

A'zariah was now in the bathroom, lathering dove soap on her face and finishing up doing her skincare routine before she went to sleep.

She lathered a few drops of lotion on her legs, arms, and hands before sliding in her bed. She didn't know what it was, but she just loved putting lotion on before going to sleep.

𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎. A'zariah thought to herself before drifting off to sleep.

Suddenly, it left like she was transported back into her old room, and surely enough, she was back at her old room, at her house, in her pajamas like the ones she wore four years ago. Her body chilled.
