Vacation

Sub's POV

"Where's the medicine?" I whispered. Alex left last night. Denis and I are going around the house and bringing things that were on the list into the kitchen. We plan on moving it all into Elijah's room once he wakes up since it's 7 in the morning on a Sunday. As we were looking over the list for the fifth time, Denis got a call.

"Oh! One second sub," Denis said, handing me the list. "Hey, mom!" He walked off, but I could still hear him.

"I would love to, but I need to take care of a friend. Yes, Elijah. I know. Uhm I can check. What day is it? Tuesday?! I don't think I can. Maybe next year? I know I say that every year, but I mean it this time." I felt a little upset. Denis is always busy. He's been recording multiple videos a day in case he isn't able to make one. He came back into the kitchen and sighed.

"What's happening Tuesday?" I asked. Denis looked up at me.

"My family's meeting up for holidays since everyone's out of work." He sat down on a stool and propped his head up with his hand.

"Where is it?"

"Canada. I would love to go, but Elijah's health is more important. Besides, Alex gets back on Saturday and I wouldn't be back till Monday."

"Why don't we all go?! Elijah hasn't been anywhere in 6 years. It would be fun!" Denis lit up. He grabbed his phone and called Alex.

"Hey, Alex! How was the flight? Good! Uhm my mom invited me to go to Canada for a week on Tuesday. Sub and I were wondering if it would be okay if we all went. Really?! Thank you! Okay, we will." Denis hung up and went over to Elijah's door.

"What are you doing?"

"Alex said we could go as long as we checked in with the doctor before then. Why not now?"

"I'll wake him up. You call your mom and tell her about this." I stood up and went into Elijah's room. He was sound asleep clinging onto the kangaroo and dragon stuffed animals. I slowly walked over to him and shook him slightly. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled.

"Sub!" He cheered.

"Good morning! Come on, you need to get ready."

"For what?"

"The doctor." Elijah looked a little annoyed but then sat up and waited for me.

I came back with a glass of water and 2 pills. Elijah took both pills and drank the rest of the water. Once he finished, he got into his wheelchair to go to the bathroom. While he did that, I got out socks, a sweatshirt, and sneakers.

"I'm readyyy!" Elijah yelled. He wheeled out into the kitchen and smiled at Denis. Denis smiled back and grabbed the keys. Elijah made his way over to the glass doors, opened it, and made his way down the ramp. I followed behind him. We got all set up in the car and headed to the hospital.

"You wanna bring this?"

"Mhm!"

Elijah and I were packing up his things. It was now Monday and we all were getting ready. Elijah sat on his bed while I took things out. He either said to bring it or not. He had two bags. One was a normal backpack that he could carry around. It had his medicine, a few card games, a blanket, and his two stuffed animals. The other was a suitcase for all his clothes and things like that.

After a few hours of organizing and packing, we finally got everything we needed. Denis and I have been doing a lot of research to prepare for the trip. We've watched youtube videos, read articles, and searched a lot of things up on Google to know what to expect. Now we just have to wait.
