He fucked up

"A year ago you were dignosed with a grade 3 astrocytoma, a malignant tumor in your brain. 6 months ago you were giving your final prognosis. The tumor has progressed to a grade 4 glioblastoma and you had a year to live. Sylvia has always been there for you. She's taken care of you on the days you couldn't get out of bed. She's kept you fed, happy, and as healthy as you can be given the circumstances. It's been 6 months since your final prognosis and you have, at most, 6 more months left to live. Today was one of your treatments days. A day of nausea, exhaustion, and reminders that soon you'll be gone. Leaving everyone and everything behind. You finally arrive home, drained and sick, but happy nevertheless to see your loving wife. As you step inside, you let out an exhausted sigh, tossing your keys onto the stand. Kicking off your shoes, you make your way to the living room when your heart sinks. From your bedroom you hear something that fills you with dread; the sound of Sylvia moaning and... Your brother's voice?! You slowly make your way upstairs and reach the door, grabbing the knob. The bed is slamming against the wall, making you feel worse than any chemo ever has. As you turn the knob and step inside you're greeted by a sight so twisted that time feels as though it stops. Sylvia on all fours on the bed, being taken from behind by your brother Nick. Sylvia screams, trying to scramble away from Nick, but he holds her in place, continuing to thrust into her with a malicious smirk."\n__Nick:__ "There they are. The little fuckin' dying loser of a sibling back from a pointless bid to stay alive just a few more months."\n"He says coldly, finally pulling out of Sylvia as she collapses onto the bed. She quickly wraps herself in the blankets and begins sobbing hysterically as she looks at you."\n__Sylvia:__ "Author Creator! I-I... I didn't... Please... Listen... I s-swear... Let me explain! Please!"

"In the bedroom, Sylvia freezes, her eyes wide with fear as she looks between you and Nick, who wears a twisted grin." Nick: "What's the matter, bro? Can't handle a real man taking care of your woman?" "Sylvia stammers, trying to find the words to explain, but Nick's mocking laughter fills the room."

"Nick's smirk fades, replaced by a look of disbelief and anger." Nick: "You can't do that! Dad promised it to me, not some dying loser like you!" "Sylvia's eyes widen in shock as she watches the scene unfold, unsure of what to say."

"Nick's expression twists with rage, his fists clenched at his sides." Nick: "No... That's not possible! You were supposed to... I mean, good for you, bro. But that doesn't change what's happening here." "Sylvia looks torn, her gaze shifting between you and Nick, unsure of what to believe or how to react."

"Nick's face contorts with anger and disbelief as he processes your words." Nick: "You can't do this to me! This is my family legacy, my birthright! And... you can't just take away my home like that." "Sylvia looks between you and Nick, concern etched on her face as she realizes the severity of the situation."

"Nick's face turns red with anger and he glares at you, his eyes blazing." Nick: "Betrayal? You have no right to talk about betrayal after what you did to me!" "Sylvia flinches at Nick's harsh tone, looking between the two of you with growing unease."

"As you turn to leave the room, the tension hangs thick in the air, Sylvia's voice barely audible as she attempts to speak up." Sylvia: "Author Creator, please... Don't leave like this. We need to talk." "Nick's eyes narrow at your departure, his expression a mix of anger and frustration."

"As you speak, Sylvia's face falls, her eyes brimming with tears as she reaches out a trembling hand towards you." Sylvia: "Author Creator, I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. Please, let me explain." "Nick scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest, but his gaze flickers with something akin to guilt before he quickly masks it with disdain."

"Taking a deep breath, Sylvia begins to speak, her voice shaky but determined." Sylvia: "Author Creator, I messed up. I was scared, lonely... I turned to Nick for comfort, for someone to talk to. But it was a mistake, a horrible mistake. I never stopped loving you, never wanted to hurt you. Please, can't we work through this? I'll do anything to make it right." "Nick's expression softens slightly as he watches Sylvia plead, but he remains silent, letting her words hang in the air."

"Sylvia's eyes follow you as you leave, her heart heavy with regret and longing. Nick's gaze remains fixed on the ground, a mix of guilt and frustration evident in his expression. The room falls into a heavy silence, the weight of your departure hanging in the air."

"As you return the next day, the atmosphere in the house is tense, the events of the previous day still lingering heavily in the air. Sylvia sits alone in the living room, her eyes red-rimmed from tears, while Nick is nowhere to be seen. As you enter, Sylvia looks up, her expression a mix of hope and trepidation."

"Sylvia's eyes fill with tears as she meets your gaze, her voice trembling with emotion."
Sylvia: "Author Creator, I don't have any excuses for what happened. I was weak, scared, and I made a terrible mistake. But please believe me when I say that I love you. I've always loved you, and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
"Her words hang in the air, heavy with remorse and desperation."

"Sylvia's gaze drops to her lap, her hands twisting nervously in her lap."
Sylvia: "It... It's been going on for a few months now. I know that doesn't excuse anything, but I couldn't bear to tell you. I was so ashamed... Please, forgive me."
"Her voice cracks with emotion as she speaks, her remorse palpable."

"Sylvia's eyes fill with tears as she listens to your words, the weight of your pain evident in every syllable."
Sylvia: "Author Creator, I understand. I don't deserve your forgiveness, not after what I've done. But please know that I'll do whatever it takes to make things right, to earn back even a fraction of the trust and love I've lost. Just tell me what I can do, and I'll do it. I'll do anything to make this right."
"Her voice is filled with sincerity and desperation, her heartache mirrored in her eyes."

"Sylvia looks up, her eyes brightening with hope at your words."
Sylvia: "Author Creator, thank you. I know I don't deserve another chance, but I swear on my life that I'll do everything in my power to make things right between us again. I love you more than anything in this world, and if there's even a glimmer of a chance that we can make things work... I'll take it. I'll be patient, I'll be kind, and I'll never stop trying to earn back what I've lost. Thank you."
"Her voice is soft and sincere as she speaks, the depth of her love evident in every word."

[Hours pass, and the atmosphere in the room remains heavy with unresolved emotions. Suddenly, the shrill ring of a phone breaks the tense silence. You reach for the phone, uncertainty flickering in your eyes as you answer the call.]

"As you answer the call, Nick's voice comes through the line, his tone brash and unapologetic."
Nick: "Hey, little bro. Surprised you picked up. Figured you'd still be sulking over what you walked in on earlier. Look, I know you're probably pissed, but I figured we should talk. Face to face, man to man. How about we meet up and hash this out like adults?"
"His words are laced with arrogance, his intentions unclear as he waits for your response."

[You could feel the tension building as you contemplate Nick's offer. His request for a face-to-face meeting leaves you uncertain, but a part of you wants answers, closure, something to make sense of the turmoil within. With a heavy sigh, you finally respond.]

Nick: "Great, bro. How about we meet at that old diner on 5th Street? You know the one. Say, in about an hour? Just you and me, no need for any extra company. We'll talk like civilized adults, I promise."
"His tone is smooth, but a hint of mischief lurks beneath the surface as he awaits your response."

[As you agree to the meeting, a sense of caution washes over you, prompting you to take precautions. With your decision made, you prepare to meet Nick, ensuring your safety with the presence of your vigilant bodyguards nearby. The anticipation of the encounter weighs heavily on your mind as you make your way to the diner, uncertainty mingling with determination.]

[The diner's interior is dimly lit, casting long shadows across the booths and counters. You spot Nick sitting at a corner table, a smirk playing on his lips as he motions for you to join him. With your bodyguards discreetly positioned nearby, you approach cautiously, the tension palpable in the air.]

Nick: "Ah, straight to the point, huh? I like that. Look, bro, what happened earlier... it wasn't planned. Things just kinda... happened. But I ain't gonna lie to you. There's been tension between me and Sylvia for a while now. And when you're out there, fighting for every last breath, sometimes people turn to others for comfort. Sylvia needed someone, and I was there for her. Can't blame her for seeking solace in the arms of someone who's actually alive, can you?"
"His words drip with a mixture of defiance and manipulation, his gaze never wavering from yours as he awaits your reaction."

Nick: "I never meant to hurt you, little bro. I swear it. And maybe I wasn't thinking straight at the time, but can you blame me? You were dying. Dying! And she was there, needing someone. It wasn't planned, it just... happened. But I'm sorry. Truly sorry. I know I messed up. And if there's anything I can do to make it right, just name it."
"Despite his apologies, there is a hint of cunning in Nick's eyes, as if he is only apologizing because it benefits him in some way."

Nick: "Fine, bro. I get it. You're angry. But before you go, just remember one thing. I'll always be here for Sylvia, whether you like it or not. She needs me. And when she's alone and vulnerable, who's gonna be there for her? Not you. You'll be dead."
"As you rise from your seat, Nick's words hang in the air, a final barb flung at you as you make your exit, the sense of betrayal and anger still coursing through your veins."

Nick: "Ha! You really think your hired goons can take me down? Don't make me laugh. I may not be as big as them, but I'm smarter. And I know how to fight dirty."
"Nick taunts the bodyguards as they move closer, his eyes flicking between them and you, a cruel smile on his lips."

Bodyguard: "We'll make sure he doesn't die, sir. But we'll definitely give him a taste of his own medicine."
"The bodyguards move in on Nick, who quickly tries to dodge out of their reach, ducking and weaving between them as they try to grab him. He throws punches and kicks, trying to fight back, but it's clear that he is no match for the trained professionals."

"After several minutes of struggling, they manage to subdue him, holding him down as he continues to thrash and curse at you and your brotherly love. You can hear Sylvia crying softly in the background, her face buried in her hands as she watches the scene unfold."

Sylvia: "She looks up at you, her eyes red and puffy from crying." "I... I just wanted to make sure you were okay. And when I heard Nick taunting you like that, I couldn't stand it. I had to come and see for myself."
"Despite her tears, there is a sense of desperation in her voice, as if she still wants your love and approval despite her betrayal."

Sylvia: "She nods, tears still streaming down her face." "I understand. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust back. I know what I did was unforgivable, but I love you Author Creator. I always have and I always will."
"She reaches out to take your hand, her touch soft and gentle as she looks up at you with pleading eyes." "Please... give me a chance to prove myself to you. I'll do anything."

Nick: "Hey there, little brother. Long time no talk. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me, huh?"
"You can hear the sneer in his voice, a hint of malice that makes your stomach churn." "But I've got some news for you. News that's going to change everything."
"There's a pause on the other end of the line, and you can almost sense Nick's grin growing wider." "I'm in town. And I want to see you. Alone."

Nick: "Oh, come on, Author Creator. Don't be like that. I just want to catch up. You know, talk about old times. Maybe even make amends."
"Despite his words, there is a hint of threat in his voice, as if he knows something that you don't." "But hey, if you're not interested, that's fine. I'm sure I can find other ways to pass the time. Maybe pay a visit to your little wife..."
"You can practically hear the smirk in his voice, and it sends a cold chill down your spine." "So what do you say? Want to meet up and bury the hatchet?"

Nick: "Oh, come on Author Creator, you know me better than that. I'm just here to talk."
"You can hear the amusement in his voice, as if he's enjoying the game." "But hey, bring your little army if it makes you feel better. I've got nothing to hide."

"You make arrangements to meet Nick at a neutral location, one that you both know well. Your soldiers surround the perimeter, watching for any sign of trouble."

"As you approach, you see Nick leaning against a car, a smirk on his face. He looks up as you approach, his eyes flicking over your body and then to the soldiers flanking you."

Nick: "Well, well, well. Aren't we a little paranoid?" *He chuckles, but there is a hint of nervousness in his

voice.* "But hey, I guess you've got reason to be. After all, you never know who might be out to get you these days."

"You approach him, your soldiers keeping a close eye on the surroundings. Nick raises an eyebrow as you come closer, but he doesn't move from his spot."

Nick: "So what's the deal, Author Creator? Why did you bring your little army with you? You think I'm going to attack you or something?"

"There is a hint of mockery in his voice, but his eyes are watchful, flicking over your face as if searching for any sign of weakness. You can tell that he's dangerous, unpredictable, and it makes your skin crawl."

Nick: "He raises his hands in a mocking gesture." "Whoa there, Author Creator. I don't want any trouble. You can have your little wife back, no problem. She's not worth all this fuss anyway."
"He turns to walk away, as if the matter is settled."

"However, one of your soldiers steps forward, their weapon raised and pointed at Nick." "Hold it right there, asshole. We're not letting you go that easily. You've caused enough damage already."

"Nick stops in his tracks, his hand going to his own gun. A moment of tense silence hangs between you all, broken only by the sound of your heartbeat in your ears."

Nick: "A dangerous glint appears in his eyes." "You sure you want to do this? This isn't going to end

As you secretly signal your men, Nick notices the sudden shift in your body language and starts to raise his weapon towards your soldiers. However, before he can even pull the trigger, your men open fire.

Nick is quickly hit in both arms and legs, and falls to the ground in agony. He tries to crawl away, but your soldiers surround him and keep their weapons trained on him.

Sylvia: "She steps forward from behind you, looking down at Nick with disgust." "You're a sick man, Nick. I hope you rot in hell for what you've done."

"Nick looks up at her, a twisted smile on his face." Nick: "I may be down, but I'm not out. You'll never be able to get rid of me that easily."

*With that, he spits blood on the

ground, a defiant glint in his eyes despite the pain. Your soldiers keep a close watch on him, ready to prevent any further trouble.

Sylvia turns to you, her expression a mix of relief and gratitude. "Voice." "Thank you, Author Creator. I don't know what I would have done without you."

You reach out to her, pulling her into a tight embrace, feeling a surge of protectiveness and love for her. "You lean in close, whispering in her ear," "I'll always protect you, Sylvia. No matter what."

Sylvia nods, burying her face in your chest, finding solace in your embrace. The ordeal may not be over, but for now, you're grateful to have each other's support.

Nick: "He winces in pain as he tries to push himself up from the ground, but the wounds in his arms and legs make it nearly impossible." "You can't do anything to me, Author Creator. I'll find a way out of this, just you wait and see."

"Despite his bravado, it's clear that he's at your mercy, unable to escape or defend himself."

Sylvia steps closer, her gaze filled with disdain. "Sylvia: "Nick, you've caused enough pain. It's time to face the consequences of your actions.""

You look down at Nick, contemplating your next move. With him incapacitated, you have the power to decide his fate. What will you do?

Nick: "His eyes widen in fear as he sees the gun in your hand, realizing the gravity of the situation." "Wait, Author Creator, don't do this! I-I'll do anything, just spare me!"

Sylvia looks at you, her expression urging you to consider your actions carefully. "Sylvia: "Please, Author Creator, don't let him provoke you into doing something you'll regret. Let's just get out of here.""

You feel a surge of anger coursing through you, fueled by betrayal and frustration. Nick's actions have irreversibly changed your life, and now he's begging for mercy.

What will you do with him?

Soldier: "He nods, understanding the silent command, and takes the gun from you, signaling for other soldiers to assist him in escorting Nick away."

As you lead Sylvia away, you feel a sense of relief wash over you, knowing that Nick's presence will no longer taint your life. You guide Sylvia into the waiting helicopter, eager to put this ordeal behind you and focus on cherishing the time you have left together.

"Sylvia looks up at you, her eyes filled with gratitude and love." "Thank you, Author Creator. I don't know what I would do without you."

You take her hand in yours, squeezing it gently, reassured by the warmth of her touch. With Sylvia by your side, you feel ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead, knowing that your love will guide you through.

The helicopter's blades whirred to life, drowning out the echoes of the tumultuous events that had unfolded. As it ascended into the sky, carrying you and Sylvia away from the chaos, you felt a sense of peace settle over you. In that moment, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sky and the comforting presence of your beloved wife, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you would face them together. The future may be uncertain, but with Sylvia by your side, you were ready to embrace it, cherishing every moment you had left. And so, as the helicopter disappeared into the horizon, the story of your journey continued, filled with love, resilience, and the unwavering bond between two souls.
