A/N: Hello again, folks! Long time, no see! Well, it's been about a week, anyway… Damn, I've been dealing with one heck of a cold, lately! But, since I have the time tonight, I thought I'd post a chapter. I don't know how long it's going to be, but I guess we'll figure it out! Is there anything else for me to say? I don't think so… So, let's go! :D
Chapter 20: Early Morning Ideas II
Kevin's PoV:
I wake up, and I'm soon able to recognize my surroundings. I seem to be back in Marv's room. Wait… Am I back in it, or did I never leave, in the first place? "Hey," I hear a familiar voice, and I look over to the doorway, to see where it's coming from. I'm not too surprised that it's Marv. After all, this is his room.
"Marv…" is all I'm able to say.
"How are you feeling?" He further enters the room. "You had quite a scare with that bear," (Ha, that rhymes.)
"Oh. So, it wasn't just a dream…"
"You're not hurt, are you?" He comes closer to the bed. I don't feel any pain, except for a slight headache I just noticed.
"I have a slight headache," I go to reach for my forehead, only to realize my left wrist is cuffed to the headboard of the bed. I look at Marv, showing the concern I'm feeling. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, buddy," Marv sits at the end of the bed. "But, twice now, you've tried to leave, and I know I can't trust you, anymore."
"Anymore? So what, you're just gonna keep me hooked up to the bed?"
"No, I don't know… I don't want to, but I don't know what else to do,"
"Well, I know what you can do! You can let me go back home! You're supposed to be my Father! This is considered child abuse, you know!" I shout.
"I know, I know… I just don't know what to do," I can tell Marv is feeling anxious. He doesn't want to lose me, but he can't keep me hooked up here forever!
"You can let me go back home, Marv," I practically plead.
"No," He shakes his head. "You've lived with your Mom and Peter for nine years, it's time I had some time now with you, too."
"Come on, Marv… I'm sure you could work out something with Mom and Dad, so that you could see me,"
"No, not after this. And, don't call him 'Dad'. I'm your Dad!" Marv points to himself. He's not mad; he's more so disappointed.
"You could've done something, Marv, to make visitation rights possible with Mom and D… Peter, Marv,"
"I know, but I acted out of haste… I had to get you away from Harry, because he's nothing but trouble,"
"You can't keep me in here forever, Marv,"
"I know, I know…" Marv fiddles with his hands, trying to think of something. He knows I'm right, but he doesn't want to admit it. An idea seems to come to his mind, because he suddenly stands up and snaps his fingers. "Hey, wait a minute! I've got an idea!" I become anxiously excited at his sudden idea and enthusiasm. "Why don't we go out for a drive somewhere? Surely, we'll think of something, while we're out and about,"
"Really? You wanna go out?" I'm happy to go out, but I'm more so expressing my confusion to him.
"Sure. Why not?" He shrugs. "It's November 1st, and it's going to be looking pretty gloomy out there. I don't know about you, but I like mornings like this,"
"Umm… Sure, I suppose?" There's question in my voice, only because I seem uncertain about Marv's sudden desire to go out.
"Great! And, don't look so upset. You're gonna love going out!" Marv reaches over me and releases my hand from the cuff. I'm feeling nervous… In fact, I have the sudden urgency to strangle him, but, by the time I think to do it, he's already finished releasing me. I just look up at him, with thoughts racing through my mind. I'm feeling concerned. "Come on, let's go! I'll buy you breakfast!"
Marv seems overly excited, all of a sudden. I thought he'd be pissed at me, despite how he saved me from the bear. Surprisingly, I'm OK after that predicament earlier. Though, as I get up from the bed to follow Marv out of the room, I begin to form a bad feeling about this…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! I know it's not the longest chapter in the World, but hey, it's better than nothing. ;) What do you think will happen in the next Kevin's PoV? Well, you probably won't find out for awhile, because I have Marv's PoV next! I'm still trying to brainstorm what I'm doing for that one next, too… It was so much easier keeping my ideas together, when I wrote practically every night. But, it's also so much easier updating this about once a week. It gives me time to do other things, and I don't get so stressed out about it. Though, I hope I finish this in time, before my July 1st cutoff… I guess we'll cross that bridge, when we get there. :) For now, I bid you adieu! :P
