Chapter 15
Kid to Adult
Alvin's thoughts:
Dave was much worse than I thought. I didn't think I would have to ban Simon and Theodore from seeing Dave. I now have to take over everything. I have to be in charge of Simon and Theodore, make sure Dave is getting the best care he can get, and I have to finish the business he came here for. I'm not a kid anymore…..
Alvin's eyes begin to tear up.
Alvin: NO! I have to stay strong for Simon and Theodore! I can't be seen crying like a little kid!
Alvin then gets off his bed and heads out to the living area of the Suite. He begins a writing a note to Simon and Theodore.
I am going back to the Hospital to check on Dave. Alvin
Alvin then heads down to the lobby.
Receptionist: Hello Alvin. Can I help you?
Alvin: I was told there was a shuttle that will take me to where I want to go when I want.
Receptionist: Yes, there is. I will have it come around to the front to pick you up.
Alvin: Thank You.
The shuttle pulls up and picks up Alvin.
Driver: Where would you like to go, sir?
Alvin: Hospital Please.
Driver: Yes sir!
A little later Alvin arrives at the hospital.
Alvin: Thanks.
Driver: Just call the hotel when you are ready to be picked up.
Alvin: Ok. He says as he shuts the door.
Alvin makes his way upstairs to the floor Dave is on.
Betty: Alvin your back already?
Alvin: Yes. How is Dave?
Betty: No change.
Alvin: Betty do you know what they did with his wallet and other stuff.
Betty: Yes, it's in a secure room.
Alvin: Can I see his stuff? I need to find something.
Betty: Yes, I will get it for you.
Betty comes back with a box of Dave's things.
Betty: Here you are,
Alvin: Thanks.
Alvin begins looking for something.
Alvin soon comes across Dave's wallet. In it is a business card.
Alvin: This is what I need. Alvin pulls his phone out and calls the number on the card.
Man: Hello this is Blake.
Alvin: This is Alvin Seville
Blake: Is this really Alvin Seville!?
Alvin: Yes, it is. I understand you are supposed to have a meeting with my father soon.
Blake: Yes, tomorrow morning at 10.
Alvin: I will be filling in for him. Where do I meet you?
Blake: 2020 N Brook-street. If you don't mind my asking why are you meeting with us instead of Dave?
Alvin: He is not feeling good.
Blake: Sorry to hear that but I am looking forward to meeting you, Alvin.
Alvin: Ok see you tomorrow at 10. Goodbye.
Blake: See you tomorrow.
Alvin hangs up the phone.
Alvin: Betty can I hang onto Dave's things?
Betty: Yes, you may.
Alvin: Thanks. Can I see Dave again?
Betty: Yes, go on down Alvin just keep it short.
Alvin: I will.
Alvin makes his way to Dave's room and opens the door. When he does he sees the Doctor checking on Dave.
Doctor: Hello there.
Alvin: Hello
Doctor: You must be Alvin. I am Doctor Shaun I am one of the surgeons who operated on your dad. It may not look like it but he is improving. We can finish operating on him soon.
Alvin: Will he wake up when you finally get him all fixed up?
Shaun: I hope so but there is no guarantee.
Alvin: I understand.
Shaun: I will give you so alone time with Dave just don't stay too long.
Alvin: Thanks.
Alvin begins talking to Dave.
Alvin: Dave I don't know if you can hear me or not but I just want to tell you somethings so maybe you won't worry. Simon and Theodore are out the hotel at the moment. I still won't let them see you. Again I'm sorry but they just don't need to see you like this. I am going to take care of the business that you came here to deal with. I'm not a kid anymore Dave. I have to deal with the real world and I won't show emotion to the things that bother me. Take care, Dave, I will be back soon.
Alvin leaves the room.
Dave's thoughts:
Alvin thank you for taking care of Simon and Theodore. Alvin, you are letting this situation cloud your judgment. Simon and Theodore should be able to see me if they want. They just need to be prepared for what they would see. Alvin, you should not be worrying about the business. You are still a kid you are not ready to take on everything that I do. You cannot be emotionless Alvin. That is not your personality. You are a free-spirited, trouble making, thrill-seeking kid. I'm not worried about Simon and Theodore I'm worried about you.
Shaun: Alvin I thought I would let you know that we plan to open Dave back up tomorrow afternoon so that we can finally finish his surgery and get him on the road to recovery.
Alvin: Are you sure he is strong enough?
Shaun: Yes, he is as strong as he is going to get.
Alvin: Ok I will bring my brothers tomorrow afternoon. How long will it take?
Shaun: Hopefully 4 hours is all it will take.
Alvin: Ok see you tomorrow.
Shaun: See you tomorrow.
Back at the hotel
Simon wakes up.
Simon: I can't stay asleep. I have too much running through my head. I wonder if Alvin is up? If he is I will cheer him up by finishing what we started yesterday.
Simon leaves his bedroom to go to Alvin's but on the way, he sees the note Alvin left.
Simon: I can't believe him! He says as he makes a fist and slams it down onto the table.
Simon: He forbids Theodore and me from seeing Dave but he can go see Dave all he wants! When he gets back I am going to let him have it!
Alvin pulls out his phone and calls the hotel to come pick him up. Before too long Alvin has been picked up and is back at the hotel. He makes his way upstairs. Alvin opens the door and sees Simon standing there with a look of rage on his face.
