heavy tw!!
cal’s siblings finding him with his wrists sl1t.
he’s sat in the bath, his left arm by his side while his right is draped over the edge of the tub. the floor is flooded with red and a couple pill bottles he had downed before in order to calm his nerves and make it all hurt less.
his little brother had walked in with his rubber ducks and washcloth, ready to take a bath, only to find his older brother unresponsive. he calls his sister in, hoping that she’d know what to do or at least know what’s wrong. she’s older, so she has to know, right?
she does. she immediately closes the door, shutting cal in the bathroom alone. after guiding her brother to the living room and making him sit on the couch, she dials their parents who had gone out on a date that night.
the only thing she says is, “mommy, cal’s gone. there’s blood on the floor.”
her parents instruct her to call 911 and tell her that they’re on their way home as fast as possible. when the sirens sound and ambulances come, the two children are found on the couch, cuddled up together. neither will look at anyone; cal’s little brother won’t even speak.
it’s not what cal had intended whatsoever. he didn’t want them to find him. he didn’t want them to know or see anything. now, he can’t help them work through everything and isn’t there to talk about it or hold them. they’re alone, and cal will never come back.
