Ok Im glad I was able to finish the Thanksgiving Special. I can't wait for the Christmas one. And pretend it does snow over there. Every Christmas special haves to have snow. Anyways this one is kind of a simple chapter. It focus's on Davis never staying the night anywhere except at home.
Chapter 10: Sleepover at Uncle Dougies
Davis's P.O.V-The day after Thanksgiving
I was finally feeling better...sort of. Dad said I could still get nausius. I was lying around in my room when Dad came in.
"Hey Davis, Tasha and I have to go to a Thanksgiving party thing at her work then we have a meeting to attend, so we'll be gone all night tonight" He said.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked. "Well, I talked to Douglas and you all are going to stay the night at his place tonight. He know's about bionics, since he helped me make them. But Adam Bree and Chase wont have their bionics" Dad said.
"Uh Dad?" I said. "What?" He asked. "Well I-I've never stayed anywhere except at home before. I've tried to stay the night at my friends house, but I got scared and left at like midnight" I said. He sat down next to me.
"Well, you have 3 older siblings and Marcus and Douglas. You'll be fine, and if you get scared you can call me anytime...after 9:00" He said.
"What about Leo?" I asked.
"He's going over to his aunts house, since you know how he and Marcus get" Dad said while laughing a little.
"Okay, he'll be by`in about an hour, so get packing" He said. He walked out of my room. Wait why are we leaving now when they have to go later tonight? It's like 10:00 am.
I spent about an hour packing when Adam came up to get me. "Hey, Uncle Dougies here" He said. I got my stuff and my pillow, which I cant even sleep without. Supposedly it wa sthe pillow that I was on when Dad put me up for adoption. I've kept it ever since. It was a ratty old thing, but it made me happy.
"Your taking the ratty old thing?" Adam asked. I just smiled. "Yup" I said while popping the 'p'. He just looked at me weird. "Your a weird little guy, you know that?" He said while laughing. I punched him in the arm but he didn't really seem affected. "Nice try" He said. I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs.
Douglas was sitting in the living room with Dad. "You kids ready?" He asked. We all said varients of 'yes' and headed towards the door.
"You kids be good. Love you!" Tasha said, while hugging us. Dad walked up to me and hugged me. "Now remember, you can always call me" He said. I nodded. We all left and got into Douglas's car. They live on the other half of town so we got a good 10 minute ride. Apparently Dad's side of the family is really rich.
Douglas had dvd players in the back seat of his car, and he's got internet and a mini gaming system back there. "Alright, so Im thinking about ordering Pizza tonight. Sound good?" He asked. Everyone lit up. Apparently they love staying at Douglas's house.
Davenport's P.O.V
Ok we're not really going to a party or meeting. We're going to Black Friday, which was moved to Monday due to market crash or something, to get the gifts for the kids. I also need to buy Davis new clothes. I am a little concerned about Davis. I turned my phone on vibrate so when he calls I'll know.
Davis's P.O.V
We pulled up to Douglas's house which was super nice. It wasn't a mansion but it was nice. We walked in and found Marcus in the living room playing the Wii.
"Hey Marcus!" Chase said. "Ok now you guys can either stay in the guest room or in the living room" Douglas said. "Ok" Bree said. We all put our stuff down in the living room while Marcus paused his game and joined us on the couch.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Marcus asked. "Don't know, Actually there's this new hillarious video online, wanna watch?" Bree asked. "sure what's it called?" Marcus asked while pulling out his tablet. They started scrolling through videos, I sat back against the couch. My headache came back.
"Davis you okay?" Bree asked. I nodded with my eyes closed. "Davenport said you'd need to take some medicine while your here, so I'll go tell Douglas" Bree said. She got up and went to go get Douglas who was finishing work in his office. My head hurt so much I didn't know if I could stay awake or not. Douglas came in with a bottle of pills.
"Alright, here these are adult pills so only take half of one" He said. He handed me one and I took it.
"Ok let me know if your head starts hurting again" He said. I nodded and he left.
Davenport's P.O.V
Tasha and I have been waiting in line forever! "How much longer until the doors open?" I asked. I was shivering my tail off. It was atleast 35 degrees out. "We'll we've been here 20 minute, so about 3 and a half hours" Tasha said sarcastically happy. I just groaned annoyingly.
Davis's P.O.V
It had been 20 minute since my headache started, and now it's over. We we're all watching a movie on Netflix, while Douglas set up lunch. He was making sandwiches and chips. I actually feeling that sick anymore.
"Lunch is ready!" He called from the bar area. "Yay sandwiches!" Adam said. "So where's Leo?" Douglas asked. "He's at his aunts house" Chase said. "ok then, more sandwiches for us!" Marcus said. Douglas glared at him.
"You mean more sandwiches for US!" Douglas said while snatching Marcus's sandwich and ran across the kitchen while Marcus ran after him. They actually put on a show.
They chased each other for half a minute until Marcus nearly pinned Douglas. We all laughed about it and went on playing on the Xbox. Man they got a lot of games. It started raining outside, great. So far I haven't felt the need to call Dad, except I got this weird habit of constantly looking at the door as if their going to walk right through the front door.
Adam, Chase and Marcus wanted to watch that new horror movie 'The Purge: Anarchy' and Bree wanted to watch 'annabelle' . I was not in favor of any of them. did they not know they had a 9 year old in the room? They decided to watch The Purge so I went into Douglas's office.
"Hey" I said. He turned around. "Hey Davis, Im guessing they're watching their annual horror movie?" He asked. "Yep, So what's up?" I asked while sitting down in the second office chair.
"Nothing just finishing up some work. Your head feeling better?" He asked. "Yeah thanks" I said.
"You know you can play some computer games on that computer" He said. I faced the computer and played it.
-3 hours later
I guess this game was really interesting since I've been playing for 3 hours and my eyes are watering. I went in the living room assuming the movie was over...I was SO wrong!
I walked in and saw these people kill other people and people get their heads cut off. I can never unsee that.
I walked back into the office. "They still watching the movie?" Douglas asked. "Uh huh. I can never unsee that" I said. He laughed a little. "Yeah, I couldn't make it through that movie either" Douglas said. "So when are you ordering Pizza?"I asked. "It's 4:00. your hungry already?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yeah, I guess" I said. "Alright I'll order it at 5:30" He said. He got up and walked into the living room and I followed behind.
"Alright guys is the movie over yet?" He asked. "Yeah" Bree said. I walked infront of him and sat on the couch,
"Good cuz I've been playing this game and I've made a higher score than the maker" I said. "So when are we getting Pizza?" Adam asked. "Geez you kids cant wait for food or something?!" Douglas asked while laughing. Doulgas got the phone and called the pizza people.
"Yup" Marcus said. "Alright, I'll go ahead and order it. What kind do you want?" He asked.
"Pepparroni" Chase and Marcus said in unison. "Triple Meat Deluxe" Bree said. We all looked at her. "What? Im still a growing girl" She said while hovering her hand over her stomach.
"Meat with Mushrooms" Adam said. "Well atleast Adam is the smart one here" Douglas said. Im guessing that's the kind Douglas wants. "And Davis?" Douglas said.
"Cheese" I said. "Just cheese?" He asked. "Yep, just plain old cheese" I said. He mouthed the work 'ok'.
"Ok Im thinking of getting a large Meat, Cheese and pepparoni pizza, cut into three sections. Sound good?" He asked Chase, Marcus, Bree, and I nodded in content.
"What about my pizza?" Adam asked. "Im getting a medium Mushroom pizza" Douglas said happily. Adam seemed pretty happy.
We all waited around for the pizza. Marcus Adam and Chase got into a fight about what animal looks best in a top hat, or something like that.
"Please, dogs looks best, it's why people buy them!" Marcus said. Now I want a dog.
"Nuh uh! Camels do, they have Wednesday's named after them!" Adam said. "No, try a pelican. Those are both awesome and hilllarius in top hats" Chase said. Now I want a pelican.
"Bree, Davis? Any input?" Chase said. I cluelessly raised my hand. "Davis?" Chase said. "Yeah, what's 'input'?" I asked. Did I mention Im like a year behind my actual grade since school here is ahead.
"Your opinion" Marcus said. "Oh ummmm. Bunnies!" I said. They all looked at me. "Please he's 9 I could conivnce him dragon's are real, when they actually don't and can't!" Chase said.
"I thought you said dragons were real?" I said sadly. He looked like he regretted what he said. The thing I've always wanted to do to an older sibling, is use whatever they tell me against them.
"Uhhhhhh. They are...Ever heard of the Komodo Dragon?" Chase said while gaining confidence in his statement. Faith restored.
About 20 minutes later, the Pizza guy showed up. "I'll get it!" Douglas said. He walked over to the front door and got it. He came walking back with a couple of pizza boxes. "Alright here it is" Douglas said. He gave us the Pizza and split his with Adam.
"So what's New York like?" MMarcus asked me, while chewing food in his mouth.
"Big, disgusting, depressing, awesome, smelly, amazing, and also, pretty much frozen" I said. "Oh yeah that snowstorm got New York last night, we're suppose to get one come Christmas" Douglas said. Great, my first Christmas I could spend snowed inside a house.
"Alright, So I've got to put up Christmas decorations here, wanna help?" Douglas asked while getting up. We all nodded and grabbed some decorations. Adam got one ornament stuck in his nose and Bree and I had to help him pull it out. Marcus and Chase just moved the ornaments to fit their 'prefectionists' ways.
-Some Time later
Ok it's about 8:00 pm and I have not wanted to call Dad at all. We finished putting up Christmas decorations and now we're all sitting around the tv watching the news.
"Whoah looks like a small thunder storm tonight" Douglas said. "Yeah" Chase said while staying focused on the radar. Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight.
"Hey you know that new movie 'Penguins of Madagascar' is on my movie playlist" Douglas said. I've been wanting to see that movie forever!
"Sounds good to me" Adam said. We all agreed with him and turned on the movie.
-2 hours later
This was actually one of the best movies I've seen. It started thundering a little and we all got situated for bed in the living room. Marcus and Douglas went to their rooms while Adam, Bree, Chase and I stayed here.
"Alright here's some blankets for tonight" Douglas said while handing us some blankets. Chase brought a sleeping bag and Bree had her own blanket and pillow. I pulled out my pillow, which earned some looks from Bree and Chase.
"What is that?" Bree asked disgusted. "It's a pillow, you know to lay your head on" I said annoyed. It's a pillow and it has sentimental value to me. "Davis that pillow's all dirty. How do you even sleep with that?" Chase asked, quite rudely if you ask me.
"Well maybe I've had this pillow ever since my family gave me up for adoption 8 years ago and I wanted to keep something from that family!" I said. Chase and Bree had a look of guilt and regret. "Sorry, we didn't know it had that much sentimental value to you" Bree said. "Its ok" I said while calming down.
We all got situated and fell asleep. Well, everyone else fell asleep, I couldn't sleep. A tree kept rubbing against the window and the rain was coming down hard, not to mention the thunder. It's normal for kids to want to call their parents before they go to bed, right?
I walked over to Chase and woke him up. "Davis, what are you doing up? You should be asleep" He said groggily. "Can I use your phone to call Dad?" I asked. He sat up and grabbed his phone. "Uh yeah, I guess. Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah im fine, I just want to call Dad. You know, to tell him goodnight" I said. He dialed Dad's number and called.
Davenport's P.O.V
I was finally finishing the gift wrapping and got Davis a whole new set of clothes. I got a call from Chase.
"Hello, Chase?"
"Hey, Davis wanted to talk to you" I figured he would call tonight, considering the storm.
"Ok let me talk to him"
"K. one sec..."
"Hey Dad"
"Hey buddy, you having a good time?"
"Uhh yeah, so far we watched a movie, ate pizza and put up some decorations for Christmas"
"Sounds like fun. Are you okay with the thunder and all?"
"A little. It's not bothering me as much"
"Good, so I'll call you tommorow morning and come get you guys around 9-ish. Okay?"
"Okay"
"Alright hand the phone back to Chase and go to sleep. I love you"
"I will, love you too"
I heard the phone get handed over to Chase.
"Hey Davis said you wanted to talk to me?"
"Yeah, he's never stayed anywhere out of his house before and it's a little frightening for him. Can you all try to be there for him?"
"Of course we will. He'll be fine"
"K good"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Chas ehung up on me and I went to go put up our decorations. Tasha and I are all energized on coffee. Fun!
Chase's P.O.V
I got off the phone with Davenport and learned that Davis has a fear of sleeping anywhere other than his own home. I felt kind of bad for him. That feelign when you want your parents to hold you and be there, and the'yre not. It's like your not allowed to see them for a while.
I saw him trying to go to sleep, clutching his dirty pillow. Which now I know why he chose that one. He started hugging it pretty tight when a huge boom of thunder hit. Poor kid.
I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me scared and full of fear. The boom also woke Adam and Bree up. They saw me with Daivs and assumed something was wrong. I would too if I saw Davis scared and someone was trying to comfort him.
"What's wrong with Davis?" Bree asked. I pulled Davis into a hug and let him try to relax. "He's never stayed anywhere else other than at home, and he's scared" I said quietly. Adam and Bree came over.
"Hey baby bro, you ok?" Adam asked. He looked up.
"I wanna go home" He said pretty sadly. Bree came over to comfort him. "I know, but we'll be going home soon, just wait. The only way to get over this fear is to stay the whole night here" Bree said. Davis sniffled a little, then it hit me. "His headache must be back because of the flash of lightning and all the loud thunder" I said. I started stroking the back of Davis's hair. It's kind of weird since I've never had a little brother before, other than Leo, but he's only a year younger. Davis is a whole 5 years younger. I've never had to comfort a younger sibling.
I tried to remember what Adam or Bree did if this happened to me. "Hey Bree would you go get Davis's head medicine?" I asked. She got up and went to go get the medicine. Adam stayed back and helped me comfort him. Bree came back with his medecine.
"Here" She said. Davis took it and swallowed. I grabbed a blanket and put it around him. "Ok now go back to sleep. We'll get you when Davenport picks us up ok?" I said. He looked at me all drowsy. "I'll... wake up be...fore Dad gets... here..." He said half awake. "Well your nighttime medicine for your head makes you drowsy. So good night" I said. He yawned and fell asleep with his head on my arm.
"So when is he getting us?" Bree asked. "9:00" I said. Bree nodded and sat back. I picked up Davis and sat him down on the couch.
"So do you think he'll sleep the rest of the night?" Adam asked. "Yeah" I said I laye dback down on my sleepingbag and went to sleep. Adam and Bree followed and went to sleep too. I looked up at Davis on the couch wanting to make sure he wont fall of or anything. Wow, was Adam and Bree this protective?
I fell asleep finally.
Davis's P.O.V
I woke up and found myself on the couch wrapped in a blanket. I got up and walked over to the kitchen and checked the clock. "8:30" I said to myself. I got the rest of my stuff together, and woke up Adam Bree and Chase. Adam's phone lit up and showed he got a text from Dad saying 'Be there in 15'.
We got our stuff. I was pretty proud of myself. I stayed the whole night outside of my house.
"When is Dad gonna be here again?" I asked. "about 5 minutes now. Which you actually stayed the night somewhere outside of your house!" Bree said. "Yeah...WOO HOO I DID IT!" I said. Chase and Adam high fived me. "Great, we're proud of you" Chase said. Yep first step in fixing my inexplictable fears.
Dad came by and picked us up. Once we got home the tree was already set up and there were gifts under it.
"So did you all like the decor?" Dad asked. "Yeah, it's so cool!" I said. "Alright now go upstairs and unpack we'll be going to pick up Leo and go to a resturaunt in a moment" Dad said. We went upstairs to put up our stuff.
When I opened my closet, I found a whole ne wardrobe. "We bought you some new clothes" Dad said. "Thanks" I said. "Yep it's pretty cold out so bring a hoodie or something" Dad said. I nodded. "Oh and were you ok the rest of the night?" He asked me. "Yeah, Chase helped me calm down" I said. He smiled. "Really? Good!" He said. He walked out of my room leaving me there. Time to figure out which hoodie Im going to where, since they bought me like 4-5 different ones.
Chase's P.O.V I got down to the lab to put my stuff up when Davenport came down.
"Hey Chase, Davis told me about last night" He said. He must be talking about how I helped Davis.
"Oh that, it was nothing" I said. "Yeah, well, Im proud of what a great big brother your being. I knew you two would get along. He reminds me alot of you" He said. I saw some similarites between us but mainly something to where you could tell we were remotely related.
"Oh well good I guess" I said. He laughed a little. "Alright, we're leaving in a minute so lets go!" He said. With that we left to go pick Leo up and go eat. It made me feel better now that Davis won't freeze outside anymore. Maybe I am a great big brother.
Ok I hope that was great! it took 3 days to make. Im working on Lessons right now, so I'll update this later tommorow (if all goes planned) Anyways Read and review! ENJOY!
