"He called again..." My mother's voice was like pin pricks to my ears.

"What do you mean he called?" I couldn't help the irritated sound in my voice as I took another bite of cereal.

"He wants to see you and your brother Reyna."

"Bullshit!" There was no way I was ever going to see that pitiful excuse of a man ever again. He didn't even deserve to be called a father after what he did.

"Reyna! Language!"

"I'm sorry but he has no right to even have a thought process invoving us. Do you know how far off the cliff Tyler's been since that day?" I took a deep breathe. I had to tell her. "He's been using again mom."

"I know honey...I know."

"You know? What do you mean you know?!"

"He broke down last night. He told me everything. He's trying to quit Reyna but he's been going through withdrawals. He needs us more than ever now...You know what he told me last night?"

I had to blink twice at the realization that my brother wasn't his normal self anymore. It killed me inside. "No, What?" I responded.

"He said that he needed to come clean Reyna, for you." Just then a lone tear strayed from my eye. I loved my big brother with all of my heart and soul. I needed him.

"Wha--he did?"

"Yes Reyna...he loves you so much."

"Wh-where is he?" Just then I needed to see him. I needed to comfort my brother in his time of need.

"He should be in his room."

I stood up and gave my mother a kiss on the cheek before heading in the direction of Tyler's room. I stopped in my tracks to ask one more question. "Did you tell him about dad?" God he didn't even deserve to be called that.

"Yeah, I did." Great. I bit my tongue and continued my course to his room.

When I knocked no one answered. His lazy ass must still be sleeping. I gently opened the door a smidge to see total darkness. Not even his shades were open which was weird for tyler. I opened the door all the way to reveal that no one was in the room. His bed was neatly made which was weird considering he never made his bed. Now that I think of it though, he was probably in the bathroom. He always made his bathroom breaks in the morning. Is it awkward that I know that or what?

I walked to the bathroom to hear complete silence. I put my ear to the door so that I could hear a bit more clearly but nothing. I was beginning to get a little worried. Maybe he didn't come back last night?

"Tyler? It's Reyna. Open the door." Just then I heard a loud crash. Like something heavy in mass fell to the floor. "Tyler?!?! Open the door you're scaring me!"

Again nothing. "Tyler! Open the God damn door!!!" I pounded on the door endlessly but there was still nothing. I went for the handle telling myself that I was stupid for not going there first but it was locked. I pounded even harder pretty sure that I was going to break the door down---wait? Yes!

I took a few steps back for more power and crashed myself against the door. Our apartment being the  cheap peice of shit that it was the doors weren't completely solid but it still stuck to it's hinges. I went for one more try, this time using my foot for more leverage, but the door didnt budge. I turned my back to the door leaning on it because of my recent discovery of lightheadedness. In a fit of anger I slid down with tears in my eyes. I had to get in there. I took my hand scanning the surface of the door frame trying to figure it out. All I felt were screws that attached the door to its frame. Nothing that would help me...Oh my god Reyna you're so stupid! I went into Tyler's room and reached in his drawer for a screwdriver. I swear it was here somewhere! All I could find were pills, important paper and what the fuck is that? Condoms? Gross Tyler! Aha found it!

Painfully but quickly I made my way to the bathroom once again and unscrewed the screws from the door hinge. As soon as the door fell down I fell with it onto my knees. My heart fell to my stomach and back up again.

Tyler was lying on the floor pale with a needle in his arm. I could feel the breath leave my lungs as I crawled next to him putting his head in my lap cradling him.

"No, no, no, no, no! Tyler! Why? No!" I was broken. There was nothing left. for me. I had no other reason to live. I looked at his lifeless body as I poured my heart out in tears. This wasn't happening. I felt like my heart had just been ripped out of my chest and displayed in front of me as it was crushed by the weight of sorrow. My life was over.

"Reyna! whats the matter? Are you okay--No! My baby! No!" I watched as the life drained out of my mother's eyes and she knelt to the ground beside me. She fell over his body in a heap of tears. She was broken, just like me, we were forever broken. Together.
