Here is chapter 6 enjoy and thank you for all the reviews.
When the rest of the team walked back inside, they noticed everyone sitting in the living room, staring at Nosedive, who was looking down at his feet.
Taking a deep shaky breath, Wildwing cleared his throat and began.
"Ok listen up, there are going to be some changes around here starting right now…"
Nosedive glanced up and gave his brother a pissed off look.
"Let me guess, these changes have to do with me right."
Giving a small chuckle, Wildwing continued.
" As a matter of fact, yes they all have to do with you, now drop the attitude and let me finish. From now on Nosedive, every move you make is going to be watched, whatever you put in your mouth, whether its food, drinks, candy etc, we will be watching. As for your room, the only time you will be allowed to go in there is to shower, and get dressed…"
"WHAT this sucks, where the hell will I sleep!"
"You will be with either me, Duke, Grin, Phil, or Canard, oh and don't think of sneaking out during the night, because the door will have a secret combination, that only we will know.
Nosedive was now seeing red. He couldn't believe his brother was doing this.
"Are you done yet, or is there more?"
Wildwing could tell his brother was getting upset, and he really didn't want to do this, but if this is what was going to keep his brother alive, then it had to be done.
"Oh there is more, until you are allowed back in school, you are grounded, no Captain Comics, no friends, no nothing. I haven't really decided on games yet, I might let you play, I might not. Now from now on, Tanya is going to do an inventory of everything she has in the med lab, and if one thing goes missing, you will be in rehab so fast, it will make your head spin. And final, every morning, we are checking your room, and if we find one bottle, one pill cap, one anything, that's either full, half full or empty, your ass will be in rehab."
Nosedive jumped up so fast, he knocked down the coffee table
"You cant do this, you're not my parent, you are my brother that's it. You cant tell me what to do, or where to do! "
Then he ran into his room and slammed the door.
Shaking his head, Wildwing, looked over at his team mates, and gave them all a defeated look, he wasn't a parent, he was the big brother. His role as the big brother was to bail Nosedive out of trouble and talk to him about girls, not ground him and threaten rehab.
" I wonder if we would have this problem, if we were home?"
Canard walked over to his best friend and sighed. He wanted to smack that little brat for doing this, but instead of doing that, he did the next best thing.
"Wildwing we don't know, what would happen if we were home, but what I do know is that there is a kid in there who need's help, and I think I have an idea on how to do that."
With a hopeful look in his eyes, the 2 captains walked into Nosedive's room.
When they opened the door, Nosedive was kneeling on the bathroom floor, hovering over the toilet.
"This is coming from the kid who thinks he is fine?"
Looking run down and pale, Nosedive slowly got up from the floor and steadied himself, by leaning on the counter.
"Go to hell Canard."
"You have been sending so many people there I don't think they have room for me."
"Do you need something or are you just here to annoy me and make sure I leave my room."
Canard just chuckled as he watch the teen slowly make his way across the room and onto his bed.
" Do you remember our friend Aaron?"
" I don't know why?"
"Ok then do you remember when you got really sick when you were 10?"
Nosedive noticed that the room was spinning, so he closed his eyes and started taking deep breaths.
"Canard I don't remember what happened yesterday, let alone what happened when I was 10."
Wildwing noticed his brother was starting to feel sick again, and he wanted to go over to him and comfort him, but it was Nosedive's own fault that he felt his way, so he just sat in the chair in silence, praying that whatever Canard had up his sleeve will work.
Again Canard laughed, but kept a comment to himself, instead he continued.
" Well our friend Aaron was a lot like you, headstrong, independent, but he also did something that you claim you don't do…he did drugs. Since he was 8 he was in and out of rehab and his parents had no clue why this was happening to him. Well when you were about 10, he just came home from another round of rehab and we were all playing a game of hockey at the park. I just scored a goal, when I glanced to my left and saw Aaron giving you and your friends lollypops."
As Canard was telling the story, Nosedive was slowly starting to remember what happened that day. Aaron smashed up ecstasy and made them into lollypops, and gave them to him and his friends. Nosedive also remembered being really sick for a week because of the drug. Another thing he was starting to remember was the way Aaron looked, dark circles under his eyes, pale, throwing up all the time, coughing up blood.
" Oh god…"
Canard noticed his best friend looking at him with a shocked look on his face along with a look of hope.
" Did you say something kid? "
Nosedive slowly turned around and looked at his brother, with tears in his eyes.
" Wildwing, I don't want to end up like Aaron, I think I have a problem and need help."
Wildwing jumped from the seat and pulled his baby brother into his arms sobbing.
"Oh Dive, you have no idea how happy you made me right now. Im going to help you baby bro, I promise."
Leaving the 2 brothers alone, Canard walked into the living room and told everyone the good news.
Now will Nosedive get better or will he fall back into this bad habit of his? You will all have to wait and see what the next chapter brings.
