Chapter 19: To keep a secret, you must hide it from yourself
Donald's POV
I….WAIT WHAT?! I am so confused right now but, also extremely happy. Wait should I be happy? I mean what if, Rebecca has Chase right now and is torturing him to death? What if that doctor has him? I kind of fell back against the table thinking about what was possibly happening to Chase right now. I couldn't have a peace of mind even though, I figured out that, that (thing) lying on this table in the medic lab was not Chase. I didn't even know how to feel right now. I was so dumbfounded by all of this. I was extremely shocked. No words could express how I was feeling right now. OMG I just realized something! Everyone thinks Chase is dead. But, he isn't…..or maybe he is? You know what I'm just going to say he isn't dead to lighten up my mood. I have to tell them right away. Ever since Chase has died, we haven't been a family anymore. No one talks to each other. Everyone goes in their rooms and cries until they fall asleep. Well, I know Bree does. I was walking through the halls one time trying to get my mind off Chase and I noticed the door was slightly open so, I peeked in. There I saw Bree, tears dried against her cheeks. She was asleep though so, I quietly snuck out of there. Seeing Bree cry hurt me so much. I hated to see the kids upset. I hated when their eyes would weld up with tears and you would hear their little sharp intakes of breaths preparing you for what was about to happen. Chase never really cried though. He would keep everything bottled up inside. You could definitely tell when he was upset though. He wouldn't say anything but, his face said paragraphs. (He wasn't a very good actor). Or, when they would sigh and their eyes held a hurt expression. When you say the wrong thing, they will let you know right away. I always wanted those kids to be happy. To hear them laugh and to see their smiling faces was enough to make my day amazing. I knew I wasn't their father. They knew I wasn't their father. Douglas was their father yet, they still liked me. I was always hesitant on letting Douglas stay with us. I always thought if he did, the kids wouldn't care about me anymore. Since, he was their real father I could understand that. But, they never did leave me. They still care about me and love me. So, why did I feel so horrible when I decided to let Douglas stay with us? I guess I was jealous because, my brother had a family. I mean he didn't have a wife anymore but, he had three beautiful amazing children. I never had that. I never focused on dating. I was in the "me" business. All I cared about was how to make more money for myself. But, while I did that, Douglas and his wife made their lives worth living. Jenny gave birth to three children and I sat around in my house making inventions. At least I was the one who got to save the kids from their father and my brother. When Douglas brought the kids with him to Davenport's industries, we had already made the bionic technology. We were just making it a whole lot better. Then I heard the kids, well they were babies at the time, crying and I ran over there and saw what Douglas did. I thought I would never forgive him. He ruined Adam, Bree, and Chase's lives forever! But, now that I think back to it, this was one of the best things Douglas could have ever done. Because, of what Douglas did, I now had a family. Three kids, one girl and two boys. And, I promised myself that I would never let them go and I still haven't. This one time though, we were in the hospital with Chase. He had gotten a terrible concussion during a very dangerous mission which, I sent him to and I thought he was going to die. He was ready to let go and I wasn't ready.
Donald's Flashback
I paced back and forth in the waiting room. I heard Bree crying softly into Tasha's shoulder. I looked at Tasha and saw her wipe the fresh tears from her eyes quickly. She gave a smile and as strong as it looked, it was very damaged and weak. Adam sat in the chair looking at the blank screen on his phone. Leo huddled up next to Tasha. He wasn't crying. He just wanted to be by her. I could understand that. Tasha took her hand and gently ran her fingers through Leo's hair and that seemed to calm him down. He was slowly falling asleep. Tasha was a very comforting person. Her gentle warm touch was enough to make anyone one fall asleep in her arms. Sure, she sucked at cooking but, I was so glad to have her in my life. Anyway I couldn't stop pacing. It was a nervous habit of mine. The mission played back and forth in my head making me wince every time.
Flashback within a Flashback (Oh yeah I'm that good Lol…. Back to story)
"WERE RUNNING OUT OF TIME BREE"! Chase yelled at Bree as the smoke started fuming up. He started coughing hard and I quickly ran over to Bree.
"I can't get it Mr. Davenport, it's stuck"! I pushed Bree out of the way and tried to pull the lever and I couldn't get it. Bree started coughing.
"Adam you have to pull this"! I yelled worried about Chase and Bree's welfare. Adam came quickly and tried to pull it but, he couldn't.
"Sorry Mr. Davenport" Adam said letting go of the lever in defeat. "(Cough)…. (Cough)Adam I got (cough) it "Chase rasped. I quickly looked at Chase. He stared back at me and silently nodded. At that moment I didn't understand what that look from Chase meant. He grabbed the lever and pulled with all his might. And, it magically pulled back.
"Adam I told you strength comes from here" Chase mocked Adam pointing to his head. Adam muttered something under his breath and hit Chase in the arm hard enough to knock him off his feet. Chase collapsed and fell to the floor. Then the brothers got in a fight and it wasn't a serious fight. Adam was winning, as usual. All the sudden a loud rumbling made us all freeze and look up at the ceiling. The ceiling started to break apart.
"Everyone get out of here"! I yelled and Bree got up but, then a stone landed on her foot.
"Oww"Bree cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground. "So much for your superspeed" I said quietly to myself. Adam looked down at Bree and kneeled beside her. Then he looked up at me.
"What do we do Mr Davenport"? Adam asked me, worry clear in his eyes as he stared over at Bree. Suddenly loud coughing made me completely ignore his question. I looked over and saw Chase sit up, leaning over his stomach and coughing violently. I immediately went over to Chase and pat his back trying to get him to stop coughing. After a couple of hard slaps, Chase stopped coughing. I pulled him up to his feet.
"We need to get out of here"! I practically yelled at the kids. Adam picked up Bree. All the sudden a huge chunk of the ceiling fell and barely missed my head.
"AAAAAHHHHH"! Adam screamed and I immediately shushed him.
"SHHH do you want the whole ceiling to collapse"? I asked in a deathly whisper. He rolled his eyes and began to argue with me.
"It already is"!
"Yeah but, would you rather want to be squished quicker or get out of here"! I said rather loudly. Meanwhile no one seemed to notice that the ceiling was about to fall on top of us. Chase noticed though but, I wasn't looking over at him. All the sudden I was moved to the exit out of the old building along with Adam holding Bree by an invisible force. It took me a second to realize what had just happened. While Adam and I was arguing Chase must have seen the ceiling was about to collapse on us so, he used his molecular kinesis to push us out of the way and out of the building. That means...OH NOOO. I quickly stood up and looked around for Chase.
"Chase! Chase! Chase!" I yelled looking around for him. Adam looked up at me and immediately gasped. Without even thinking, I ran towards the building and went inside. I searched and searched through the rubble and found Chase. He laid limp against the ground. His arm was in an unnatural position and it made me sick to look at. But, that was not what worried the most. As I scanned his body for any further wounds, my eyes froze when I stared at Chase's head. A huge gash pouring out blood was on his forehead. I gasped to myself and went beside Chase. I called out Adam's name.
"ADAM"! I yelled trying to lift up the chunks of rock and rubble but, I couldn't move it off of Chase's body. Adam ran in and immediately helped me pull the rocks off his brother. Adam made it look like he was picking up toothpicks as he threw the rocks aside. Chase was covered in dust. His hair was an ashy brown color now. His face was white and it looked like he was already…...I didn't want to say it. But it looked like it was already over. Adam seemed to stop moving rocks because, when I looked up he was staring at me intently.
"He will be okay Mr. Davenport. Chase is a fighter. I should know. I fight with him all the time".
"Yeah" I couldn't say anything else. I just looked at Chase. I felt as though, I had already lost him. Without taking my eyes off Chase I said something to Adam.
"Adam we need to hurry and get Chase to the hospital"! I yelled not even caring about my surroundings but, Adam seemed to already know what to do. He was already picking up Chase and swung him gently across his shoulders. Then we exchanged glances before exiting out of the building. When we got out, Bree was sitting against a rock. Tears fell down her cheeks. Suddenly she looked up at us.
"OMG CHASE IS HE OK"? Bree yelled completely forgetting about her injury. She stood up. But immediately fresh pain shot up her foot because, she cried out and fell to the ground with a thud.
"They both need to go to the hospital right now"! I said kneeling quickly beside Bree and resting her head on my knee. Adam nodded and I helped Bree up. She leaned against me for support.
(God I wish we had your superspeed Bree! We really screwed up today). I thought to myself in my head as we started making our way to the hospital. Our very slow way to the hospital.
1 hour later
Finally I found a hospital near by. Since we had Bree's superspeed, I didn't think we needed any automobile transport or any fancy technology but, then da da. So, we walked our way here. I went inside and began yelling emergency. Immediately we were met with many doctors with worried faces. They immediately took Chase and Bree from us in a stretcher and headed into the emergency room. One doctor led us to a waiting room close by and we waited….And waited…..And waited...Then it happened. A doctor came out and started walking up to me and Adam. I immediately stood up and felt myself getting dizzy.
"Are you Mr. Davenport"?
"I am".
"I have some good news and some bad news".
"I could really use some good news right now". I said in a desperate voice. He nodded and started to talk again.
"The good news is we were able to fix your daughter's foot"
"Oh she isn't my daughter" I quickly interjected. I was immediately met with a very confused expression.
"She isn't your daughter"?
"No she is, we're just not related".
"Excuse me"?
"No no no that's not what I meant! She is a family relative. Sorry I'm very stressed out right now"! I quickly spit out. He gave a sincere smile.
"Very understandable Mr. Davenport. Anyway we put a cast on her foot and she has to keep it on for 3 months. The stitches are put in and will stay in for 8 weeks. She is doing very well. You are welcome to see her right now if you would like".
"Oh thankyou". I started walking with the doctor when suddenly I remembered something that made me freeze.
"Wait a minute, what about the bad news? Is Chase the bad news? What's wrong? Is Chase alright?...Is he alive"?
"Calm down Mr. Davenport. So many questions for me to answer all at once. And sadly yes, Chase is the bad news. It appears that his arm is broken but, we were able to manage that. But, that huge gash on his head has caused him to have a major concussion". He said in a strangely calm voice. I gasped immediately and felt myself losing my composure. I slowly started to slouch down and my face turned ghostly pale. Next thing I knew I was laying on a bench cushion with a glass of orange juice in my hand and some chocolate in my other hand. I sat up slowly and a doctor greeted me.
"Feeling better"?
"Yeah thank you". I said with a smile giving the glass back. Adam was sitting next to me.
"Mr. Davenport are you okay? You kinda passed out when you found out Chase had a concussion". Adam said looking down at me. I gasped again remembering why I had fainted in the first place.
"OMG CHASE IS HE ALRIGHT"! I yelled standing up way too quickly and quickly met with a horrible headrush. The doctor immediately pushed me back down.
"Don't stand up so quickly sir"! She warned me and I sat down on the bench looking up at her and Adam. I felt my head get dizzy. I hope Chase is alright.
"Can I see Chase please? I love him. He's uh my son. No no he is my son. Please let me see him"! I begged. The doctor looked at me and slowly nodded no.
"I'm sorry but your son is in critical condition. He may need to stay here for a couple of weeks". My eyes widened.
"Weeks"? I asked, my voice trembling.
"Yes weeks, I suggest you call the rest of your family. It could be a long wait if you want to see him today".
"Ok and thank you….for everything"
"You should be happy your son made it. He is quite a fighter. Now we just have to get him out of his concussion". The doctor said with a smile. I nodded and thanked him again. Then I called Tasha. She left right away bringing along Leo. I could hear Leo's worried voice asking questions. Then Tasha hung up. I went with Adam back to the waiting room. Soon everyone was there. We all hugged and held sorrow faces as we sat back in our chairs and waited once again. Suddenly a doctor came out.
"Mr. Davenport were losing him"! The doctor said sadly. I immediately got up.
"NO I HAVE TO SEE HIM NOW"! I yelled.
"Of course right this way. But just you". He said seeing the others, my family get up from their chairs. I looked back at them and left. I followed the doctor into the room and there was Chase. He laid on the bed. Ivs were stuck in his arms. His face was ghostly pale. Stitches were placed in his head. He was no longer bleeding and the heart monitor was still going slowly. I went beside Chase and held his weak hand in mine. I moved my chair closer. The doctor moved away from standing in the doorway to give us some privacy.
"Chase"? I said. He didn't move. I felt useless as I sat there. The only noise was the constant beating of the heart monitor. (Thank god for that).
"Chase I'm so sorry for sending you on that horrible mission. At least you weren't alone. I came along but, I didn't care about your well being. It's my fault you're here. Please don't go Chase. I can't lose you. I know you're in pain but, you have to fight it. Please Chase I need you". I said desperately to Chase while gently rubbing his hand. He made no motion to even show he was alive. I felt as if it was already over.
"Chase please don't die! Please stay alive! I can't lose you. Chase I love you". I said again as tears slowly fell down my face. I didn't bother to wipe them away. I wasn't ashamed to cry over Chase. I loved him. He was my family. And now he was going. All I could do was beg.
"Chase please don't die! I love you so much and I know I don't say it enough. I love you Chase so much. Please don't die. I know that you're a fighter. You're stronger than all of us. I know that and so do you. You can get through this Chase I promise. I'm not ready to lose you". I said then I leaned over and kissed his forehead.
" You're ready to go but I'm not ready to lose you so please Chase fight". I whispered into his ear hoping he could hear me. Then I left without another word.
End of Flashback within a flashback
I prayed for Chase to stay with me and by some miracle Chase came out of his concussion and I was so happy. The doctors came out and told us that after five days Chase came out of his concussion. And I had never been so happy in my entire life. I thought I had lost Chase but, he came back to me and I never would dare try to lose him again.
End of official Flashback
I never want to lose my kids. Chase was so ready to leave me that day that I cried. I was so afraid I was going to lose him. But he fought for himself and for me. He was part of my family. I didn't want to lose a part of my family, a part of my heart, a part that makes me who I am. Out of all of the kids I was closest to Chase. I don't know why. We just agreed on everything since well we were after all, geniuses. Whenever me and Chase worked on a project my ego usually got in the way which drove us apart. But without that in the way we got along very well. We would always make jokes about Adam and it would be hilarious since Adam did not understand any of the jokes we made. Chase could always make me laugh and smile. Whenever I was down Chase would always bring me comfort in the weirdest ways. And I loved it. I should be happy that Chase could possibly be alive but, I am so confused. What if he isn't even alive? He could be being tortured right now and I can't do anything to stop it. I think the best thing for me to do right now is keep this secret to myself. If I tell the rest of the family then I don't know what they will do. I have to keep this to myself. That Chase is not this machine. It's just an android. It could already be too late. Who knows Chase could actually be dead right now. I have to keep this secret hidden from the others. Who knows how they will react. Sure they will be happy but, that will only last for a minute and the feeling of happiness will be replaced with worriedness. We don't know what Chase's fate will be. I don't even know what his fate will be. All I know is that I cannot tell anyone what I have discovered. So to keep this secret I have to hide it from myself.
