Here's chapter 7. Poor Davis, nothing can go right for him anymore. How's he going to get out of this one? With the help of his siblings of course. This chapter is more of a sibling fluff between Adam, Bree, Chase, and Davis. I just wanted this one to be a minor filler since I seriously love editing this story and remember that promise Chase made during chapter 3? Well your gonna see that promise in action. Here it is. Enjoy!
Chapter 7: The Buzz
Previously: Davis got sick at the fair and is now on the car ride home. Is he cursed?
Bree's P.O.V
We were about 20 minutes away from our house and i don't know if Davis can handle a car ride much longer. "Do you think he'll get car sick?" I asked Chase. "I don't know. He's alseep now but he could still wake up and throw up." He said. Davis was sitting there leaning on Chase with his jacket wrapped around him. "I think there's a rag or something back there. You know incase he throws up again." Adam said. I looked around and found one. "Eh it has ketchup all over it." I said while pikcing it up with my index finger and pinky. "It's fine. It'll do." Chase said while taking it. Davis started sneezing. You know those sneezes that sound like they hurt. Well this one was one of those. Davis winced a little after he sneezed. He just started groaning. He opened his eyes. "Hey Davis. How do you feel?" Chase asked. "Horrible." He whimpered a little.
Davis's P.O.V
I opened my eyes a little while waking up. Why couldn't I have slept longer. I felt this thing of warmth around me. When I checked, it was Chase's hoodie. I also felt an arm around me and when I looked up I saw Chase. I groaned a little because it literally hurt. "Hey Davis. How do you feel?" He asked. It actually felt like he was shouting. "Horrible." I whimper. It felt like we were going 1000 miles an hour.
"Chase my stomach hurts." I whine. "Like 'your hungry' hurts or 'your gonna throw up' hurts?" He asked while grabbing a rag. "Throw up." I said while the vomit filled my mouth. I tried to keep it down. Im guessing my attempts were obvious. "Davis don't try to keep it down. You gotta let it out." Chase said while finding a tub. I nodded and let it rip. Chase kept rubbing circles on my back. "That a boy. Let it out." He said. I felt a sharp turn then the car stopped. "We're home." Adam said. Chase turned and nodded. " I'll take him Adam, you go inside and grab the childrens cold medicine." Normally Adam would make a short or weak joke, but this time he just left to go grab the medicine. Chase picks me up and carries me inside. He places me down on the couch and walks off to what I'm assuming is the kitchen. I just layed there. Sick, tired, messy. I looked down at my shirt which was covered in puke stains. I feel a gust of wind and see Bree with a trash can. "Here you go. If you ever feel like your gonna throw up just do it in here." She said while gesturing towards the trash can. "M'kay." I said
The couch shifted a little when Bree sat down. She sat there stroking my hair.
"Bree." I said while looking up. "What?" She asks softly. "Im sorry for ruining your first date." I said. I really did feel bad. The girl finally got her first date with the guy she likes then I come in and ruin it. "Davis don't be sorry. You can't help that your sick." She said. She looked at me examining something. "What?" I asked. "Nothing, we're just gonna have to get Chase a new jacket and you a new shirt." She said while laughing a little. I look down and realize I got puke all over them. "And this was Chase's favorite wasn't it?" I said sheepishly. "Yeah, but he won't care. Just show him an algorithim thing or something and he'll be happier than ever. " she said. We both laughed a little.
Adam came back with a small bottle with what looked like pink liquid inside. Wait...LIQUID! "Alright Davis, Davenport says you have to take 8 milliliters of this stuff." Adam said while pouring it into a spoon. I shook my head. I could smell the disgusting smell from here. You know what, I can live with being sick
Adam's P.O.V
I found the cold medicine and turns out, it's a liquid. Davis is really going to hate this. I walked over to the living room where Davis and Bree were laughing...until Davis saw the medicine. I poured a little into the spoon and tried to give it to Davis. He just shook his head and scooted back. "Davis you have to take this stuff. Whether you drink it yourself or i pour it down your throat is up to you. Either way your taking it." I said. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with his hatred of liquid medicine. Davis just closed eyes and took the spoon. "Good. Just drink everything thats on that spoon." Bree said. At first Davis just sniffed it, which is his way of stalling. I just send him a look. He hesitantly takes a sip and hands the spoon back to me. "Do you feel better?" I asked. "Adam, the medicine takes atleast an hour to take affect." Bree said. "Oh right" I said while setting the medicine down on the counter in the kitchen.
I notice Chase walking in with a thermometer in his hand. "Im gonna take Davis's temperature." He said while putting the thermometer in Davis's mouth. His look did not make me feel any better about the situation. "102.7" He said while placing the thermometer down. "I'll grab a wet rag." Bree said while getting up and super speeding to the kitchen. Davis just groaned. "I know. It sucks." I said patting his shoulder. He kept shifting around on the couch. "I just can't get comfortable." He said annoyed. "Well stop trying. Your wearing yourself out by doing that." Chase said. Bree ran back with a damp rag and placed it on Davis's forehead. "Did say anything about his cold?" Bree asked. "No. He said just to give him this medicine and make sure he gets plenty of fluids and rest." Chase said. "Ok well I have this huge test that I've been studying for tommorow so Im going to bed. Night" Bree said. "G'night" I said back. I started thinking. 'What are we going to do about school?' I thought maybe I could stay home with him tommorow. "You know Chase, I could stay here with Davis tommorow." I said while sitting down. "Neh. It's fine. I mean I already know more than the teachers, so if I miss tommorow it's no big deal." He said. I guess he's right. "Fine but if you guys need anything, Bree and I can rush home at anytime. Doesn't matter when." I said. "I will." He said. "Alright good night." I said. I walked down to my capsule and went to bed. You know, it's kind of nice seeing your little brother be a good big brother to your even little-er brother.
Chase's P.O.V
Adam left Davis and I in the living room. Man sometimes he can be pretty overprotective. Davis started to shift a little. "Still trying to get comfortable?" I asked. "Mm hmm" He said, obviously irritated that he can't get confortable. "why don't I take you up to your room?" I asked. He just nodded. I picked him up and took him to his room. He stood up for a second trying to gain his balance. "You might want to change clothes." I said. He nodded and went to go grab some clothes. I found my hoodie on the floor so I picked it up. He walked back with new clothes on. "Oh yeah, sorry about that." He said while getting in his bed. "It's fine. We'll go buy a new one." I said. "You need anything before I go to bed?" I asked. "No, Im good." He said while trying to get under the covers. "Ok. If you need anything. Let me know. Okay?" He nodded. I turned out the lights and walked down to the lab.
Once I got into the capsule the computer went off. I muted it and checked. Apparently there's a huge thunder storm coming. Great. Looks like Im not sleeping tonight. Well actually I can just adjust my bionic hearing. I set it to where I can only hear things with in the radius of the house. That way, if Davis needs anything I'll know. BAM! Better big brother already. I walk into my capsule and fall asleep.
-2:30 am-
I was peacefully sleeping when a crashing noise woke me up. I looked around and neither Adam or Bree were awake. I walked out of my capsule to check to computer. "Hmmm" I said while reading the computer. I guess that crashing noise came from thunder. Wait, If I could hear that then it must've been pretty close to the house. I walk upstairs and ask Eddy. "What do want?!" He asked angrily. "Can show me where the last strike of lightning hit?" I asked, too tired to deal with him. "Well one did hit the roof." He said. The roof. Oh man, When Davis is sick his hearing is multiplied not to mention his chip is back in so it must be glitching too. I immediately bolt up to Davis's room.
When I get there I open the door quietly. I saw him, hands clamped over his ears and knees pulled up to his chest. I walk over and try to remove his hands wihtout hurting him. "Davis it's ok." I said while prying his hand soff his ears. "Thanks." He said. "No problem. Do you feel a little worse" I asked knowing the if someone's sick and they get startled it makes them feel worse. "Sort of." He said exhuasted. Suddenly a bolt of lightning lit up Davis's room which was then followed by what sounded like a bomb exploding plus 100 car crashes...that all exploded. Davis then nearly bruised his own head trying to put his hands over his ears. I pulled his hands off his ears and pulled him close while one ear was against my chest and the other was covered by my hand. I let go and I noticed a few tears went down his face. "You okay? The thunder's probably giving you a headache. " I asked softly, careful not to hurt his ears. He just shook his head. "Ok I think we have some stuff for headaches and migranes." I said while I run downstairs to grab some medicine.
When I got into Davis's room, I noticed he wasn't there. I checked the bathroom that was attached to his room and he was sitting there leaning against the wall with stuff dripping off his chin. Oh no.
He looked up at me. "I threw up..." He mumbled while leaning his head back. He looked completely miserable. I ran over to him and cleaned his face with a towel. "Don't worry buddy. You'll be ok once you take this pill." I said while pulling out the pill and handing it to him. "Thanks" He said while swallowing it. Afterwards, I picked him up and carried him to his bed which thankfully didn't have vomit on it.
After I sat him down, I lay a towel across his pillow while spraying it with disenfectant. "There you go. That should help." I said while taking a seat next to him. "Ok...Chasey my head still hurts." He said. As much as I hated the name. It made me laugh a little. Back when we were little he didn't like saying 'Chase' so he said 'Chasey' Which he picked it up from Adam or should I say 'Adee'. "I know. The medicine should work in a few minutes." I said. I yawned a little which was followed my him yawning. I get yawning is contagious and all but seriously. Sometimes it feels like a joke. I lay back on the bed, waiting for him to fall alseep. 'Yeesh being a big brother is alot harder than I thought' i looked over and I heard his simple tiny snores. I laughed a little and noticed my eyes getting heavy. I look back at him and decide to go back down to the lab and sleep. Once I got down to the livingroom, I walked past the couch and literally plop down on it. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
-7:00 am-
When I woke up I decided to go to Davis's room to check up on him. When I opened the door I saw Davneport with Davis. "Oh. There you are Chase. We've been looking for you." He said while walking over. "Yeah I stayed on the couch last night. I told Adam, Bree and Leo that I would stay here with him. " I said "Ok good. I called his doctor and they said this is just some virus going around." He said while feeling Davis's head. I nod at that. "Well I guess his fever went down." He said while getting up. "So are you watching him today?" He asked. "Yeah." I said while yawning. "Ok well make sure he takes his medicine and that he gets plenty to eat, drink, and he gets rest." Davenport said. "I will. He'll be fine." I said...Honestly I feel like everytime we say that something bad happens to him. "Alright be good." He said to both of us. I nodded and walked downstairs to the lab and changed clothes.
I thought about what to do for breakfast. I figured I could make some oatmeal or something. When I got back upstairs I made some oatmeal and bacon. Davis came walking down with a blanket wrapped around him. "Hey Chase. What smells so good?" He asked. "Oh im making some oatmeal and bacon for breakfast." I said pourig some oatmeal in a bowl for him. "wow thanks." He said weakly. "What are big brothers for." I said. The term actually made me think. What are we for? I sat down and started eating in the living room next to him. He was still a little too weak so I stayed their he needed a shoulder to lean on. There's something big brothers are for.
Honestly last time I remember sitting here on the couch with Davis was the night of the Break-In. I really hate remembering that. Davis noticed my tension. "Whats wrong?" He asked. "Whats wrong with me? Your the one who's sick." I said trying to get the subject off of me. He just chuckled. "But yeah im fine. Now go ahead and lay down. Davenport said you need to rest." I said while taking his empty plate. "M'kay" He said while laying down. He shivered a little so I grabbed a blanket. "Better?" I asked. He nodded.
Bree started texting about how he was doing today so I told her about last night and about how breakfast went.
"Ok cool. So Adam Leo and I are thinking about coming home at lunch since said we might have to, to help with lunch and give him his medicine."
Crap! I forgot about his medicine.
"Yeah Bree. Im gonna text you later"
I hung up and grabbed his medicine. "Ooooh...liquid." I said dreadfuly. I tried ot give it to Davis but he really doesn't want to. "Davis im not fighting you over this. Your taking this medicine whether you like it or not." I said sternly. Man Im starting to sound like a parent. He rolled his eyes. I decided to shove the spoon in his mouth. He sat there and took it. Until he coughed and spit out the medecine. "DUDE!" I yelled. "Sorry...guess we'll have to wait on the medicine...heh heh" He said. I pour more into the spoon. "alright. Listen to me. Your taking this medicine. Your not spitting it out and your not gonna complain. Got it." I said. At this point he looked a little scared but he had to take this so I didn't care. "Fine" He said. He took the medicine and swallowed. Why did I volunteer to watch my little brother?
The side effect of the medicine is drowsiness, so Davis nearly collapsed on the couch. It was actually kind of funny watching him try to stay awake.
"You know, you can go to sleep. I could just take you up to your room." I said. "I want to stay awake. If I go to sleep, I'll miss something." He whined. "What are you going to miss?" I asked. "I dont know...this." He said while gesturing towards the tv. I figured he would fall alseep so I turned on a nature documentary. "Really? Your afraid you'll miss this?" I asked. "Yeah. I love learning about...pink worms with legs." He said sarcastically. "Those are naked mole rats." I corrected. "Ew." He said while leaning back.
"You want some lunch?" I asked. "not hungry..." He said. " said you have to eat" I said. It was almost 12:15 and Adam and Bree were suppose to be home by now to help me with Davis. "So?" He said. When he's sick he can be the most difficult kid in the world. "So. you have to eat, plus Im in charge so you have to do what I say." I said while smirking. I really loved being in charge. "Alright. What do we have to eat?" He asked. "I walke dover to the cabinets and found stuff to make griled cheese. "How about grilled cheese?" I asked. It was simple, delicous, and Davis loves it. "Sure" He said. I was about to put the bread in the toaster when Adam, Bree and Leo walked in.
"What took you guys so long?" I asked while setting up the bread. "Sorry. Perry wanted to know where we were going. The usual stuff." Bree said, while sitting next to Davis. That made sense, I mean she worries so much about OUR lives that I truly think it's illegal...I hope. Adam came over to help me with the grilled cheese.
"You know I can do it myself." I said. "Yeah but Davis really likes it when I use my heat vision on it." He said while using it on the bread. "Ok then." I walked back to the living room. Bree had her arm around Davis and they were just talking. I took a seat next to them to see if I could join. "So what'd you two do today?" She asked. "Boring nature documentary about these weird freaky rats." He said. "They're called moles rats" I said. "Still freaky" He said. After a few minutes Bree checked his temperature. "99.3" She said. That was better but not enough to go back to school. Davis started rubbing his neck. "You ok?" Leo asked. "Yeah except my neck has this weird buzzing feeling again.
Davis's P.O.V
My neck started buzzing again. Great. I got up and walked over to the kitchen to get a bottle water but when I reached for it a huge sound wave bursted out of my hand. "What the!" I said surpirised. "Why'd you do that?" Leo asked. Like I really know. Maybe my bionics just glitched since im sick. "Maybe we should let Big.D know?" Leo said. "Yeah. You never glitch like that." Bree said. I don't know why but Im starting to get really nervous. In fact Im actualy sweating. The sick feeling spreads to my stomach. Im guessing Bree noticed because she super sped me to the bathroom. I sit there for a minute trying to swallow back any puke. I know it's disgusting, but I hate throwing up. I realize I can't hold it all back and just go. Bree starts to rub my back soothingly.
Bree's P.O.V
So we get home, help out with Davis, Davis starts to get better, and then he gets worse all of a sudden. We've been sitting here for about 5 minutes. Poor Davis. He's been throwing up for 5 minutes straight. He starts gasping for air inbetween takes. "Come on Davis, Let it out." I said. He finally stops and leans on me. He starts breathing heavily to gain back the air he lost. Adam. Leo and Chase burst in. "Call Davenport." I said while trying to comfort Davis. Leo pulls out his phone and calls Davenport.
"Why don't you try and go to sleep?" I asked. Davis nodded and tried to get up. It's really sad watching a 10 year old struggling to get up after throwing up constantly. Adam walks over and picks him up.
"Adam, I can walk just fine." He said. It was pointless for him to fight it. He could hardly stand let alone walk. "Right, and penguins can drive fourwheelers to Vegas to win the weekly jackpots." Adam said while trying to joke. Davis just groaned. Adam carries him up to his room while Chase and I follow. We watch as he sits Davis down on his bed. "What do you think is wrong with him?" I asked. Davis has never been this sick before. "I don't know." Chase said.
I turn around and Leo comes running up. "Big.D's on his way here." He said. Good hopefully he can figure out what's wrong with him. I look down and notice Davis's face is really pale. "I'll go grab him some water." I said. I super sped down to the kitchen. Once I grabbed the water I saw Davenport walk in.
"Where is he?" He asked.
"They're up in his room" I said while pointing towards the stairs. He nodded an ran up.
Once we got upstairs, Davis was sleeping soundly and Adam, Chase and Leo were just sitting around. "Ok guys stay back." Davenport said. He knelt down by Davis.
"Hey. Davis you gotta wake up. I'm gonna take you down to the lab to remove your chip." He said. Why would he remove his chip. "Adam carry him down to the lab." Davenport told Adam while getting up and walking downstairs. Adam does what he's told and follows Davenport with us right behind him. Once we get down to the lab, he sets Davis down on the desk and begins to scan him. "Can you figure out whats wrong with him?" Leo asked. "Yeah...sort of. It says there's something wrong with his chip but I cant figure out what." Davenport said. He began to take out his chip. "Ok so for now Davis won't have anymore bionics. I'm going to examine his chip and try to come to a conclusion until then he won't be able to use his bionics. He'll be a little weaker than normal but this should only be for a few days." He said. Wow so no bionics for Davis. "Alright. I'll take him back up to his room." He said. We decided it might be best to go watch a movie. "Do you guys think this is anything we should be really worried about?" Adam asked. Honestly I didn't know. "Im sure Davenport can fix him." Chase said. I hope so.
Davenports P.O.V
I carried Davis back up to his room. I wonder what could be doing this to his chip. After I set him down my phone goes off. I check it only to find that it was from the hospital. They sent me the bill and a list of people whoe visited at what time. I read through when I saw something that made my heart skip a beat.
-Douglas Davenport- 2:00 am-
Wait. I thought Douglas was dead...
