Save Me// Colby Brock

•Tyler and Brandon•

•Ivy•

Flesh is precious
So are you
Wounds come easy
Especially to you
Life is a war
One you have to fight
Spread your wings
Show everyone your might
If you shall fall
Pick yourself up
You are a princess
Who should never give up

I heard the poem, written by 10 year old me, as I woke up to blinding hospital lights.

This is a place I'm well familiar with. The smell of hand disinfect gel, medicines, and the strong scent of cleanliness overwhelmed me.

"How're you feeling?" My mother asked.

"Why didn't you let me die?"

"You're my only baby, how could I? I love you so much."

"To die, would be a very big adventure." I smiled weakly.

She frowned at my statement. I laughed dryly then reached for her hand.

"It's from Peter Pan mom."

Her face lightened after that, not much but it still did. What if the ambulance didn't get to our house in time?

I would've been dead and she would've been heartbroken. But the pain would've been gone.

That's what I want, for the pain to be gone. All of it, not a single trace left, but life doesn't work like that.

Life is hell, pure hell. With many demons that try and unfortunately succeed with breaking me down.

My demons wouldn't go away, it's like I was a magnet for them. They haunt me, consume me..my only question. Why me?

"Colby waited on y-"

"I don't care about him mom." I cut her off.

"Sweetie he truly cares ab-"

"I said I don't care!"

Not caring was a understatement, Of course I did. If I didn't I wouldn't be in the hospital bed connected to a thousand machines.

I didn't understand still, how bad could those guys be if they were in prison? They would never get out if officials new what they were doing to him.

Don't

With the little bit of strength I had left I disconnected myself the machines, all except the iv.

There were police all over the hospital, I needed to tell them. I needed to save him, or at least try. So much for not caring.

"Oh no Ivy I don't think you're supposed to be up and moving." My mother said.

"It's fine mom."

I proceeded with getting up and basically dragging myself to one of the officers.

"Something I can help you with young lady?" Officer Wale asked in a firm tone.

"I'd like to report 2 guys, possibly keeping somebody hostage and torturing him."

"Ma'am that's a very serious offense, someone could be doing life. Are you sure it's not the drugs?"

"Yes I'm positive." I reassured him.

He took my arm, taking me to a private conference room located in the west wing. Barely anyone went to the west wing because of how far it was.

"Okay ma'am I'm going to ask you some basic questions, answer them truthfully," Officer Wale took out a paper pad and a pen. "How long have you known the victim?"

"For a few weeks."

"Where?"

"The high-school off of hailed Avenue."

"What's the victims name, and who is he being held by?"

I swallowed the dry lump in my throat, should I even go through with this?

"Do you know...sweetheart?"

The way he said sweetheart made me uncomfortable. Along with his piercing glare and now tight forming smirk.

Something wasn't right, it felt off. Too off for comfort. I quickly rose from my chair then limped to the door.

Officer Wale slammed it shut before I had a chance to get out.

"You know...you should be really careful who you talk to. Shame, he found one who couldn't even keep her mouth shut. Let me introduce myself, My name is Brandon. Formally sir. And for the record I do not hold your precious boyfriend hostage nor do I torture him. My good buddy Tyler does isn't that right bud?"

Another voice echoed off the walls of the small room. A tall man dressed in grey inched his was towards me.

"Well torture is a strong word." He laughed.

"Why do you do this to him?" I squeaked.

"Ask him." Tyler went in a small storage closet then pushed Colby out of it.

"Why do we do this to you Colbs?" Brandon shook him harshly.

"B-because I'm bad." He said.

"And what else?" Tyler asked.

"And..I need to be taught a lesson."

I tried to run to him, only for Tyler to hold he back.

"Woah woah, not so fast there." He whispered In my ear.

"Here's the plan, it's obvious that you know who we are, and what we do. And we can't really kill you, sadly, so you're gonna be coming with us along with your precious Colby here. Wanna tell her the rules?" Brandon kicked Colby in his back.

He flinched before looking up to me, "N-no talking back, no talking loud, no escaping, school then back to the house, no mentioning their name, listen, do as you're told, no fighting back."

The pain and fear on his face was like a dagger slashing open your throat over and over until there's no air left.

"Alright that's enough shitting around, Brandon take these two to the van." Tyler said.

And again I say...fuck
