The Broken One

***Andy’s P.O.V***
I'm sitting on the couch writing when my phone starts ringing. I lean forward and pick it up off the table.
“Hello?”
I say, putting it up to my ear.
“Hello Mr. Biersack, this is Dr. Wesley from Redwood Psychiatric Center. I was calling to see if your able to come. Cynthia is having a very bad day, she won’t talk to anyone, she won’t eat, she won’t get out of bed. The only thing she’s asked for is you. I think it would help her if you came”
The women on the other end of the line says.
“Yeah, I can come, I’ll be there as soon as I can”
I say, getting worried.
“Thank you Mr. Biersack”
The lady says before hanging up. I stand up and shove my phone into my pocket. I grab my car keys off the hook by the door and walk outside to my car.
I get in and begin driving.
I’m coming Cynthia
~~~~~~~
I get to the hospital and park my car in the first parking space I see. The whole drive here my worry has been growing.
I jump out and hurry up to the entrance and go inside. A women stands up at the front desk and introduces herself as Dr. Wesley, the one I talked to on the phone.
“How is she?”
I asked, my eyebrows scrunched together in concern.
“Not good, hasn’t been all day, I don’t know what happened, she was doing pretty good compared to others I've seen”
She says as she begin to walk towards where I'm guessing Cynthia’s room is. I follow beside her, looking around at the multiple dark rooms around me. Its only about 7 but it seems like quite a few kids are already in bed.
Dr. Wesley stops at a room and gestures for me to go in.
“Good luck”
She says as I step in and she leaves to go somewhere else.
I go into the dimly lit room and my eyes move to the bed. I see Cynthia, curled into a ball under the blanket. I can hear her quiet cry’s and whimpers. I walk over to the bed and sit down next to her. I place my hand on her arm and she jerks away, I realize I've scared her.
She look up and over her shoulder at me, it takes her a minute to recognize it’s just me.
“Andy”
She whimpers as she sits herself up and pushes her body into my arms, her face crumpling as more and more tears cascade down her pale cheeks. I hold her trembling frame tightly and slowly rock her.
“shhhh, shhh, your fine, I'm here”
I murmur softly into her ear, trying to comfort her.
We stay like that for about twenty minutes before she calms down a little, her forceful sobs quieting down.
I gently pry her off me and smooth the hair away from her face. Her eyes are red-rimmed and watery, there's dark circles under her eyes. She doesn’t look good.
“What’s wrong?”
I ask her. She looks up at me and then looks away, not answering.
“Did something happen?”
I ask as gently as possible. She nods, tears starting to fall again.
“Please don’t make me talk about it”
She whispers before breaking down into sobs again. By now I'm worried. Something happened that was bad enough to upset her this much and that isn’t good, I just can’t imagine what it was.
I put my arms back around Cynthia and hold her, letting her cry against my shoulder.
“Please take me home”
I hear her say after a few minutes.
“I can’t do that sweetheart”
I say softly.
“Please Andy, you can’t leave me here, please just take me home. If it doesn’t work out you can send me back but please, I can’t stay here”
She wails, panic lacing her voice.
“Hey hey hey, calm down, shhhh”
I say, not wanting her to have a panic attack or something.
“But you don’t understand”
She sobs, putting her hands on my chest and pushing herself out of my arms. She looks at me, her eyes full of fear.
“Please, I'm begging, I’ll do anything just please take me home. I can’t stay here. It’s not safe”
She says, almost whimpering the last part.
“What do you mean it’s not safe?”
I ask her, my concern growing. She just shakes her head, her bottom lip starting to quiver.
After several more minutes of her begging and crying, I finally give in and agree to take her home, my overly sympathetic self, doing its job.
