Hank's trouble child // chicago PD

Chapter 17- Mending

3rd person

"So how did it go?" Antonio asked Hank as they where walking down the corridor which leads to the locker room. Dani was already sat in Hank office, probably questioning why she has only got the answers 15 years into her life, and why it wasn't earlier. 

"ADHD, so just what we suspected really. And Dr Charles wants to set up some therapy sessions with her so hopefully in time, everything will fall into place." Hank said, feeling happy of the progress that was made today. He felt a sense of pride when it came to Dani, and everyone could tell. It was like she was his kid. She was his kid.

Antonio felt the same, he was proud of her. You could tell by the smile that was beaming of his face, but no-one could judge that. To be honest not many people know the feeling of being proud of someone you're that close to. Because your not only proud of them. Secretly, you're proud of yourself as well, for helping them get to where they are. And helping them move forward. 

Hank and Tonio deserved to feel that certain type of pride . Because without them think about where Dani would be now, in a group home somewhere continuing to throw her life away.

BACK TO DANI'S POV

"Hey Lee! How you feeling?" Tonio said walking into Hanks office and shutting the door behind hm. I think Hank was making himself a coffee or something I'm not sure, but were ever he was he wasn't in his office. 

"Yeah... I feel fine I think. Confused, but fine." I said honestly. Because I was truly confused. I mean, what does this.... actually mean? Is this the reason I get so angry so quick? Is this the root of like most of my problems? I just genuinely don't know.

"What you confused about mi amor?" He asked, sitting next to me. 

"Everything. I mean, I knew there was something up with me but like having a label feels crazy weird. Like I don't know what's because of the ADHD or not. Like is my addictions related to that? What has it actually caused?"

"You'll find out when you have medication for it kiddo. I think that's the only way to find out because it effects everyone differently. You just got to trust yourself. Now come here." He said, giving me a warm smile and engulfing me in a massive bear hug at the end. 

"Get off meeeee" I giggled. Sounds childish I know. But we all need to act childish sometimes, just to make our younger selves happy. Tonio in fact did not get off me though, instead... he decided to hug me tighter causing us to have a massive play fight ,making Hanks office a shit tip filled with childish giggles and laughs. In fact, we where laughing so much it was causing the rest of the ball pen to crack a smile and laugh with us because it was like an infection. Especially when we both somehow dragged each other out of the office and both ended up lying on the floor in the middle of the pen cackling. Even Hank started laughing at that.  It was truly a funny sight, I think you had to be there to see it to understand properly. 

"What in the world are you feeding these animals." Jay said to Hank sarcastically, while me and Tonio were catching our breathe back and standing up. That was most definitely a core memory. 

"Right I think we are all done for the day. Everyone go home and get some rest, think we might need it otherwise we're gonna go insane like these two." Hank chuckled, while ruffling my hair making it even more messy than it was. 

Everyone said their goodbyes, and went separate ways for the night. Me Hank and Tonio, all leaving together as usual. 

The journey home was pretty normal as well, Hank and Tonio talking about some boring ass stuff in the front while I played some music from the back. However this time round, Hank kept looking at me through his mirror. He was trying to be subtle about it, but....well, he's not a very subtle guy really is he. I turned a blind eye too it though, cos I know he's only worried for me. And to be honest it distracted me from the itching and everything running through my body at this point in time. 

"Have you thought about going back to school yet Lee? No rush, we just need to try and get you back to some type of normality." Antonio asked from the front, obviously tying to make conversation because my leg was bouncing up and down like there's no tomorrow.

"Dunno yet, I'm not that arsed about it. Not like I learn fuck all anyway is it." I said sarcastically, but at the same time in a melancholy sort of tone. Because I did want to learn, but I cant stand my teachers man. Honestly when I go back if I have to even look at my maths teacher I'm gonna run riot.  

"Watch your language Daniel. And you never know... it might be different this time. We could always ask the school to give you extra guidance?" Hank said. I don't think I'm ever going to get used to him calling me Daniel. swear it's just way too posh for me.

"My bad, and I swear Hank if you call the school asking for extra help or whatever I will never step foot in that place again. No offence." I said. I did not want to have those extra sessions with those overly kind teachers who treat you like you're 5. Even just their voice pisses me off.

"Noted." Hank said under his breathe, while Tonio let out a small chuckle. Honestly do not know what he expected me to say to that to be honest.

-------AT HOME------

"What do you want to eat Dan?" Hank asked, while walking into the kitchen. Tonio was already in the living room watching tele. 

"I'm not that hungry to be fair, I'll just have some fruit later or something." I said, while itching and scratching my face.

"You're not going to feel hungry because of the withdrawals, but you need to eat something to help your body speed the process up." I just looked at him blankly, as if to say and? ", chicken nuggets and fries it is then" He said while smiling at me. Fuck sake, he knows me too well. 

I just smiled back and said a small "Thank you." Because the fact he actually knew what I wanted, without me telling him what I wanted... yeah... that feels good. Made me feel happy.

SORRY FOR THE WAIT. 

I had to sleep on this chapter a couple of times, because I kept blocking ideas after each para. But hopefully next chapter will be a lot easier as I sorta have a story line already for it!

Also I have a question, what age is it in America that you guys go to college? Or do you stay in high school for a while?

Omg also, since when was jelous spelt with an A. My mate told me today, and honestly I was fucking shocked. Never in my life did I know it was jealous and not jelous.
