Forgetting Cynthia

a new type of intervention

The silence keeps it easy

keeps you safe for the moment.

As you're walking away

your foot steps get louder.

All you needed was time

now time will destroy us.

It will all be over and here we are

we're stuck inside this salted earth together.

You'll pierce my lungs

my limbs go numb

as my colors fade out.

You watch me bleed.

You watch me bleed.

I gave you everything to die with a smile

all you wanted was to live for a while

you took everything but it left you empty

you can't replace me, you can't.

I kept replaying in my mind the day i had with cynthia today. It was great, i never knew she could fight either. And i wont lie. it was pretty damn hot. I like to learn more about her, its almost as if her heart pulls to me. I want to love her, but it is to soon. I drove home from school with her on my mind, listening to asking alexandria. I got home and sat in the hanging chairs just spinning around. Im not sure how long i did that, but soon the sun had set, and next thing i know there was a knock on the door. I got up, still in my school uniform. I looked through the peep hole to see a couple of paramedics at my door step. I opened it extremely confused

. "hello, are you Mr.Tyler?" said the stocky middle aged paramedic from the evenly lit hallway. "Yes, I am he. Why are you at my doorstep?" I asked still puzzled as i was when i first opened the door. "Misses lane has been seriously injusred and youre one of her only emergency contacts, I was sent to inform you since there is no other contact information. " he said. I ran and got my keys. "do you think that i could follow you up there? im sort of new to town." I stated. " sure sir." said the paramedic.

I ran down the stairs two at a time and i could not get into my truck fast enough.I followed the paramedicall the way to the hospital where i followed him to her room. She was sleeping, her head was wrapped and her ankle was in a boot. and you could see the bruises on her forearms. from the shape it seems as if she blocked a kick or two from the floor. The nurse came in. " She doesnt have visitors for another thirty minutes when we get a few tests back, you must be her brother..her fiancee is sitting out in the waiting room." the nurse said sympathetically. fiancee..?

I went out to the waiting room when i saw caleb waiting with his hands in his hair. I walked up to him, putting the pieces together. I whispered angrily "Her BROTHER!? why do you get to be the fiancee?" . caleb looked up and kind of shrugged. "last minute plan i guess, sorry man." he said solemnly. I asked seriously,"dude whats wrong with her?". " she may have a couple broken ribs, she fractured her ankle, she has a concussion and had glass embeded into her skull with lots of bruising, they are running tests to make sure nothing is wrong internally." he said and started pacing.

"And youre sure it was her uncle?" i asked getting more mad by the second. "Im positive." caleb responded. "lets go caleb" i said. We got to the truck and started driving towards thatcher street. soon we were there and opened up the door, using certain skills that i had."room." caleb said. I went upstairs and opened the door, i was so pissed off that i busted it off the hinges. "Fuck face! , get the hell up right now or i swear to god and to whatever else kind of fucked up shit you beleive in, that she wont be the only one in the hospital" I yelled at the smelly lanky man on the bed. he jumped up " who the hell are you to come in here and yell at me, i will fuck you up boy" he said.

" I am erik fucking tyler, and your niece cynthia is in the hospital because of your fucking douchdick decided it would be fun to beat up on little girls that wont do anything." I started yelling and punched him in the stomach. "Now lets get you sober you disgust me ." I yelled spitting at him and punching him harder in the stomach when he threw up for about 7 minutes. caleb came up the stairs.. and he just leaned in the hallway and watched. it was honestly kind of creepy. I grabbed her uncle. "Now lets get you fucking cleaned up." i said. I threw him through the glass sliding doors of the shower across the hallway. "please stop, please im a lawyer." he pleaded with cuts all over his arms and a delirious look about him.

"HOW many times has cynthia pleaded to you? shes a teenage girl! And a fuckinig lawyer! hah! where the fuck werre you for her parents murder? you try to get JUSTICE for them? I guess not. Youre breaking the law, I will get your liscense revoked. you are not god you fucking bastard! instead your here in this dark house drinking away your life and attempting murder on your own family." I screamed spitting on him and turning on the cold shower for him. " now get yourself cleaned up fast so that wee can go see cynthia, now . or else ." I said slowly, picking up a bat from the closet and twirling it around.

Caleb just stared at me shocked. "Im fucking crazy, sorry" i said laughing maniacly. I went into his room and started hitting every mirror, computer, vase, tv, basically anything that could be hit with a bat. Destroying it. "cmon uncle, im getting bored" *CRASH* i said smashing another mirror. Caleb began picking up after me but then soon gave up and called a cleaning service that wouldnt ask questions. At about 15 minutes he opened the door and i stopped smashing things. He charged at me, I swung the bat at his foot. he fell to the ground cursing."now get dressed you sack of shit" i said to him. " why why are you doing this to me?" he asked. "because im your worst fucking nightmare now do what i said before i set you on fire you twisted fucking cock fucking bastard who is worth absolutely nothing." I said kicking him as he was trying to get back up.

I went and sat on the couch in the midst of my demolition. He came out of his room looking like a complete different person, with a purple collared shirt and some casual lightly faded jeans with some black dress shoes and a clean face. " I can and will still beat the shit out of you now come on." i said as he caleb and i went out to the truck and the cleaning service went in. I drove up to the hospital in complete silence, checked in and dragged him into her room force fully gripping his arm.I whispered angrily at him " Look here, this girl is your niece. not your burden, if anything she is a blessing to you. your brother and your sister in law loved her very much and only hoped you did the same. but you didnt and the beatings have just gotten worse. they are ashamed of you and you are going to hell. you can change your ways but youre still going to hell and trust me im just the beginning. I dont like you and if you werent important to cynthia then you would be dead already assface. you did this to her and you have beaten her since she was a little girl. be disgusted. if you ever pick up another bottle of whiskey i will find you and i will kill you slowly and painfully with fire and knives. you will go to involuntary rehab and you will stay there for 6 months. and if cynthia wishes to see you then you treat her right, or else i will jump you and sell your kidneys. but if she doesnt then just stay away from her, forever got it .? " I finished and pushed him up against the wall choking him until he agreed. i opened the curtain and pushed him out then went to go sit by cynthia. caleb came in silently. i looked up at him. " she isnt good, they say she will be in a coma for a while, theres possible brain trauma and some really bad internal bleeding.." caleb said, then just broke down.
