How the Lab Rats Fell

Chapter Six: Garrett

So, today I met the rest of the Davenports. They weren't all to bad. Leo and I had hit it off pretty quickly, Adam and Chase respected me for being able to shut Fern and Heather up, Mr. Davenport was in his own little world, and Bree just confused me. I didn't know if she hated me, liked me, or was somewhere in between. All I know is that she was keeping her distance and wasn't revealing much to me. Which I didn't really mind.
However, after a quick breakfast (which was amazing, by the way), Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo, and Mr. Davenport had to go back to the academy. Leo and I promised to keep in touch, but Tasha pulled Mr. Davenport aside for a moment. I decided to listen in.
I'm not the most talented. I have pretty bad social skills, a terrible aim, and I can't do geometry to save my life! But I am really good at being invisible. I can't tell you how many secrets I know that the person doesn't know that I know it. If that made any sense. Let's just say I can go incognito, no problemo.
So, naturally, I decided to see what was up.
"Donald, listen," Tasha started, "These three kids have really boosted my tech savviness."
"Tasha," Mr. Davenport replied, "I really don't believe you."
"I thought you would say that," Tasha mused, "So, I have proof." I heard the beeps of Tasha's tablet and Mr. Davenport's voice coming out of it.
"In all honesty, I love this place," the tablet said, "It gets me away from my horrible wife."
"I have an alarm at home that warns me when Tasha gets home so I can hide."
"Tasha is a money hogging ugly mess nowadays! You'd think she'd look better with all the money she spends on herself."
"I have no problem believing that Rose is Tasha's mother. The personality rubbed off."
"Tasha has qualities that her mother doesn't cover. I'd hate to meet her dad."
"Douglas has a better haircut."
"Her eyes are the color of puke."
"How did Leo live with her so long?"
"I can't even list all of Tasha's problems."
"Why did I ever marry her?"
My jaw dropped open at Mr. Davenport's insults. I couldn't believe that anyone would say that. Tasha is an amazing person. She doesn't deserve a jerk like Mr. Davenport that brings her down like that. Then, Tasha uttered four words that would change the Davenport household forever.
"I want a divorce."

This chapter was really hard for me to write. I've just introduced Garrett, but he now has been burdened with the biggest secret in Lab Rats. Tasha breaking off. Just for the record, I don't think Tasha is anything like what Mr. Davenport said she was.
Also, the troubles won't end here (as they never do). I am posting another chapter right after I post this one, so get ready. The fun and games are over.
Nevertheless, enjoy!
