Here is chapter 8 as well, I wanted to do the 2 chapters at once, so the energy from chapter 7 will come together with this chapter.
The very next morning, Wilding sat at the table, drinking a cup of coffee, while Phil, Duke and Canard were getting ready to go to the police station, to pick up his brother.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Nodding his head once, they left leaving him just staring out into space, wondering when he missed the memo, that all hell as going to break loose.
He stayed up all night wondering where he went wrong, and if this was all his fault, that his family was falling apart, but every time he tried to come up with a conclusion, more questions just popped in his head, so he would just sit here and wait.
When they reached the station, Klegghorn was already waiting for them outside.
" The kid has a court hearing in 2 weeks, to see if he's getting probation or forced rehab, and as for your cycle, its trashed, so Tanya will have to build a new one. Also he wasn't to thrilled that he spent the night here."
Then he led them to the prison, where Nosedive was sitting on the bed looking extremely pissed off.
" Whose ever idea it was to leave me here is seriously going to pay!"
Duke hung back and quietly whispered in Klegghorn's ear
"If we hit him here, will we get in trouble?"
"Go outside and I'll make sure no one is watching."
After picking up the damaged cycle and throwing it in the back of the car, they all just stared at Dive, waiting for some type of an explanation, to what happened.
" Why the hell are you all staring at me?"
Canard couldn't take this anymore, his best friend was so upset he was getting sick, and this kid was being a bigger pain in the ass then ever before.
"Because we want answers and we want them now. Your brother is so upset because of you, he is getting sick, you are so close to getting suspended by the NHL its not even funny, and you now have to go to court because you were arrested yesterday because of a DUI and drug possession. So you better start talking now!"
"Look my life is none of your business, I don't have to answer to any of you!"
Taking a deep breath, Canard took a step towards Dive.
"Then admit you have a problem, and in 2 weeks, tell the judge you need help."
"But I don't need help, I am fine!"
Before he did something he was going to regret, he pulled the kid into the car, and they drove back to the pond.
When they pulled into the garage Wildwing was waiting for them.
"His hearing is in 2 weeks, and the judge will decide what will happen."
Again Wildwing just nodded his head and watched as his brother got out of the car and walked towards the door.
"Nosedive, do you have anything to say to me at all?"
"Yeah I do…go to hell."
Then before anyone could stop him, Wildwing grabbed Nosedive's arm and pinned him up against the wall.
"What the hell is your problem?"
"You, my problem is you! For over a month now, you have been drinking, doing drugs, sneaking around, and getting arrested, what is it going to take for you to wake up and grow up!"
"Will you let go of me!"
"No because you are going to listen to me, and you are going to listen to me right now. I am so tired and so sick of this behavior I could scream, do you have any idea what this past month has been like for me or are you doing what you usually do and think about yourself? Its been pure hell for me, I don't sleep, because I have to worry about you, I don't eat because I am too worried about what you are putting in your mouth. I refuse to wake up in the morning and find you dead because of an overdose, now you are going to admit to me right here, right now that you have a problem!"
Nosedive looked at his brother and sighed, he hated seeing him so upset, but he just wanted to be left alone so he did the next best thing, kicked his brother in the leg, grabbed the keys to Phil's car and drove off.
"Should we go after him?"
"No I don't care what he does anymore."
Just then they heard a loud crash coming from outside and when they went to investigate, they saw Phil's car inside the arena.
"He drove my car inside the building. I'm going to kill him myself."
Tanya ran over to Dive, who was staggering out of the car
" Wow someone just drove through the building in Phil's car."
Then he passed out onto the street, leaving everyone stunned and pissed off.
That night, while Tanya was looking over Nosedive, the rest of the team along with Phil and Klegghorn were watching the news, where the top stories were all about Nosedive
"We are here outside of Anaheim arena, where just 2 hours ago, 16 year old NHL player Nosedive Flashbeak drove a car through the inside of the building, thankfully no one was inside at the time. Reports are also coming in that the 16 year old was arrested yesterday for DUI and possession of drugs. We tried talking to the manager of the team Phil Palmfeather and the captain and older brother Wildwing, but both were unavailable for questioning We will keep up updated as we get more information.
Wildwing put his head in his hands and closed his eyes.
" When I open my eyes this nightmare is going to be over and Nosedive is going to be fine, and we are all going to be fine."
However when he did open his eyes, the nightmare just got worse.
"Wildwing I just got off the phone with the judge handling Nosedive's DUI and drugs, and he moved up the hearing…its 2 days from now."
Instead of yelling or crying, he did something that no one expected, he laughed.
"Ok he will be there."
When he settled down from the laughing, he noticed Tanya walked into the room.
" All Nosedive has is a broken wrist, but I am keeping him in there until further notice, and yes I took everything out of the room."
Then he said something that shocked everyone.
"Put everything back, if he wants drugs so bad, let him have all the drugs he wants, since he apparently has a death wish, lets just give him what he wants, I don't care anymore. As far as I am concerned I do not have a brother anymore."
Then Wildwing got up from the couch and slammed the door to his bedroom.
"Well its about time, he opened up his eyes and said that, maybe now the kid will wake up and realize his actions are hurting the person he loves."
Duke looked at Canard then joined Tanya in the garage to try and fix the broken cycle, while everyone else helped Phil try to find contractors to fix the main entrance to the arena.
Meanwhile Nosedive, who was slowly making his way back into the med lab, heard what his brother said.
"If Wildwing doesn't want to have a brother then fine, as far as I am concerned I am an only child."
And with tears in his eyes, Nosedive closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Chapter 8 done. Poor Wildwing, I am really starting to feel bad for him.
Enjoy and please read and review.
