Simon told Dave they would be there in the morning. Just as he was putting his phone away Theodore and the girls came into the treehouse. "What's going on" Jeanette asked.
"That was Dave. Alvin now has tonsillitis and would be having surgery in the morning."
"Will he be ok", Theodore asked in fear.
"Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be fine, Eleanor said as she wrapped her arm around him.
"She's right", Simon assured him. "Now come on let's go to sleep it's getting late."
As they all layed down Simon sighed. He was trying to act brave for Theodore, but he was scared himself about what could happen to his brother.
