Intervention (Reed)

[elijah samuel allen]

It had been days now since that incident in the chat where Eli finally told his siblings about his cutting issues, and days since Reed stripped his room taking all signs of sharp objects from it in an attempt to save his little brother from death. That day Reed really did prove that he cared about his brother and would do anything to keep him safe, even if it meant taking knives and sharp objects from his room and going as far as putting a pillow around his head when he was hitting his head on his wall. He loved his siblings, all three of them but sometimes he really didn’t think he fit in at all with them since they were all so different than his shy and quiet bookwormish self he always was.

He loved to read and would much rather read than go outside and do anything actually fun, his thought reading was fun and went as far as even liking school. Something that Reed would probably disagree with and he understood that. Elijah was always a nerdy type and Reed wasn’t, maybe that’s why Eli was picked on all the time. In fact it went as far as the sixteen year old actually getting death threats to his life, running his fingers through his hair he sighed.

A few moments ago he texted his brother telling him he had to talk to him about something pretty important and actually the thing he wanted to talk to him about was his cutting and the people who decided to make his life hell. Both of which were really big issues and he just wanted to talk to his brother about it, at least his brother that still lived with him for now. Tapping his foot on the ground he glanced around the park, he had a feeling he would be there pretty soon.

Reed was flirting with some blonde socialite when he got the text from his brother. The girl had never stopped talking, and Reed put his brother Eli before girls. This girl in particular was a college, blonde and very attractive, but still not as important as his brother. “Uh Rebecca, is it? I hate to say this but I have a very important issue to take care of, but I will call you.” He wasn’t going to call her, she really didn’t spark his interest at all. He stood and walked out of the tiny little café. Once outside he texted Eli to tell him he was on his way, then he jumped into his car. The park was a little distance away, maybe over five minutes.
Elijah hardly ever talked to Reed and after the online heartbreak, he knew it was important to talk to him. Reed practically speeded to the park, barely staying on the speed limit. When he got there he parked in a simple parking spot and jumped out. Glad to be wearing his plaid shorts in the hot park. He jogged to the middle of the park looking for his brother. He spotted his black hair, sticking out among the bright park.

He jogged up to his brother, giving him a light slap on the back. “ Hey Bro, I’m here.” “and always will be” Reed thought. Reed took his sunglasses of his head and onto his eyes, it was bright out, and unless he wanted to squint at his brother for however long this was going to last, he need them.

It wasn’t very often that Elijah talked to really anybody but since his problems were now getting worse and he was in fear of his very own life he came to the conclusion he really had to get help and soon or else he would end up killing his self. Looking at his phone he bit his lip slightly putting it down on the bench beside him, the heat was starting to get to him now his head hurting due to the fact that he was wearing long sleeves to hide the scars that were forever to remain on his arms. They were going to forever stay there in till death, and he had no idea when death was in his future.

Sure he had so many plans for his future though, his only problem was he was scared that those plans were to never come and he would die at a young age and he knew he really didn’t want that. When Reed walked over and gave him a slight slap on the back he jumped, yes Eli was a jumpy person. “H-Hey Reed” he said quietly playing with his sleeve, “sorry about probably pulling you away from whatever you were doing but I just sorta needed to talk. Not to Sophia, not to Brandon, but to you” he added even quieter.

"It's about my cutting and other things going on in my life that just keeps me distracted and unhappy, the reason I'm not really Eli anymore. It's all just becoming a really big problem" Eli said quietly.

Reed sighed, rubbing a cut on his chin. A few days ago Eli had told Reed online of a few bullies, and the cut on his chin was to show what he did to them for messing with his younger bro. So even though he taken everything sharp in his room, he was still able to cut himself. Reed didn’t know what to do, not the slightest bit, he was always tempted to tell his parents. Doing that would probably make Eli feel as if he couldn’t trust him; which it the last thing he wanted.

He knew Eli’s grades slipping was the worst thing possible, Eli had always made good grades he was your everyday straight A student. “The last thing I want you to do is die bro, you’ve got to stop t thinking that, that anyone would want you dead.” There was somebody out there tormenting his little brother, and Reed was not going to put up with it. He didn’t know who wanted his brother dead, but if he found the guy, he was in for trouble.
Everyone in the family loved Eli, Heck, just about anyone who got to know him loved him."Tell me what has been distracting you"

The people who bullied Eli were very cruel and never showed mercy, they went as far as putting threats in his locker saying they would hurt him and do many other things to him. Once he even had death threats, and the ad thing was telling that to a person who already felt so low he had no idea if he could get any lower. He wanted to tell his parents, he was just really sorta scared to since he didn’t want to throw a burden on them of their youngest son. Toying with his sleeve he shook his head slightly, “that’s what you think” he muttered pulling notes from his pocket.
“These are death threats, people dislike me that much and I never did anything to anyone and you know I haven’t because I never would and yet people want me dead. They want to go that far and I don’t even understand why” he said really quietly wiping a few tears from his eyes, if Reed told anyone this he knew there could be trouble. “Reed you have no idea how scared I am that something might happen to me, that one day I really won’t be able to take all this and I will just snap. You taking all my sharp objects wasn’t enough, it didn’t mean that I can’t go get more and I did. I know you’re probably mad but I just can’t stand this anymore” he whispered quietly.
“What’s just what distracts me lately Reed, the thought that something can happen, the thought that people can really hate me this much, and just everything else going on” he looked down quickly.

Reed sighed, he had no idea what to do with his brother. His brother seemed to get worst every day, and Reed feared for his life. He didn’t know what do, there wasn’t much he could do to help his brother. Reed had tried fighting the people who had harassed his brothers, but apparently he had only made it worse. He had a plan, but he he didn’t know if it would work. Reed had found out Eli was getting death notes, and he had taken one. He knew who was doing it, he knew exactly who, he just needed to catch him red handed. The plan was to wait close to Elis locker, either set up a video camera or a watch system, than when the idiot who was slipping them in took action, Reed would get him.
The fighting had earned Reed detention and cut lip, but it had been worth it. He had succeeded in giving the other kid a black eye, not to mention the glory of seeing him runaway with his tail between his legs. “Why don’t you tell mom and dad? They can do something Eli, something better than what I could.” That was really the only advice he could give, the only thing they had left was their parents, and he planned to use them. Elijah would have to tell them about what he does himself, but it would be worth it in the end. Their parents could probably get the kids arrested, and put Eli in a safety hospital.

Every single day of Eli’s life he feared that he would go too far and cut to deep, and end up bleeding out and the very idea of that actually terrified him. He didn’t want to really die, sometimes he felt very low though and he knew he wasn’t careful it was a very possible thing. Looking down he sighed, he had a bruise on his arm from being shoved into the wall at school and it still really hurt. He didn’t know why people would ever target him for their bullying since he never did anything wrong, he wasn’t ugly either in his mind. Sure he wasn’t the hottest guy in school either, but he highly doubted he was really ugly or at least he use to think that. Now with the cuts on his arms he really felt unattractive and he knew his arms would scar to, forever he’d be reminded. “Tell mom and dad what’s going on, if I tell them about this mom would have a heart attack knowing her youngest son is hurting his self. Then they would talk to the school and have me go to the hospital” Eli ran a hand through his hair. “Maybe that’s what I need though” he muttered than.
