Big Dreams, Big Disasters

Chapter 16

Chapter 16.
Mr. Davenport's POV.
I woke up and heard small sniffles coming from the bed in the middle of the room. Knowing immediately that it was my son, I walked over to the blankets and gently pulled them off his head before pulling his body into my arms, making sure he was still connected to the wires.
"What's wrong, Chase?" I asked gently as I ran my hand through his hair.
"No-nothing." Chase stuttered.
I sighed before holding him tighter and whispered in his ear.
"That only works on Adam. Tell me, Chase."
"Night-nightmare." Chase managed before sobbing into my shoulder.
"Sorry buddy. Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked.
I felt him shake his head no while still holding onto me.
"Hey, you get to go home tomorrow. And maybe you can go back to the campus next week." I encouraged as I set Chase back down on the bed.
"I don't wanna go back to the campus." Chase admitted.
"Why?" I asked gently, trying not to provoke him.
"I don't wanna get tricked again. I'm afraid to go back." He sighed as he laid his head down on the pillow.
"We'll figure something out, Chase. For now, I think you should go back to sleep." I sighed as I pulled the covers over his body.
"Goodnight." He smiled as he rolled onto his side and closed his eyes.
I smirked and whispered in his ear.
"It's three in the afternoon."
"Good...afternoon...then." After that, he fell asleep, a look of pure bliss on his pale face.
Two months later.
Chase's POV.
"Hey guys." I smiled as I was video chatting Crystal and Ayden.
"Hey, how is the online classes going?" Ayden asked.
"They are going great. I'm actually able to focus a lot better at my own house then a noisy campus." I explained.
After I admitted I was afraid of going back, Mr. Davenport had a talk with the owners of the college and they let me switch to online classes, meaning I got to be with my family, and Adam didn't have to hold me to my promise of throwing me every time he saw me.
"What about...your addiction?" Crystal mumbled, obviously trying not to embarrass me.
"I'm actually doing a lot better with that as well. My therapist said I have improved a lot in the past two months and I'm continuing to get better. That's why I was only able to talk last month. I was in inpatient treatment until last month. Now I'm in outpatient treatment and couldn't be happier." I said with a huge grin playing on my face.
"That's good." Ayden grinned with Crystal nodding in agreement before asking.
"When are your therapy sessions? Cause I wanted to go with you on a date soon. We haven't been on one for two months, which is understandable, but I miss you, Chasey Wasey." She smiled as she used my cheesy nickname.
"Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. How does Friday night work?" I asked.
Her eyes lit up like a wildfire before I added.
"I'm probably gonna end up bringing Leo or Adam, just so they can keep a eye on me." I explained.
"I don't mind. I can't wait though!" She happily exclaimed.
"Great. How is...Zander?" I asked.
"He went to court last month and figured out how much his bail worth was, but my dad bailed him out. He got expelled." Crystal explained.
"Great." I mumbled as I felt sudden pain in my side. "Dang it!" I yelled.
"What's wrong?" Ayden asked.
"I still occasionally feel the effects of the drugs sometimes and now I need my medication that actually work to counteract the effects. I'll talk to you guys later." I explained quickly through the pain before shutting the laptop and screaming.
"ADAM!!!!!!"
He immediately ran out of the kitchen and over to me.
"What's wrong Chasey?" He asked.
"I'm feeling the effects of the drugs again." I whined as I grabbed my side.
"Got it." He said before running out of the room, before coming back with a bag with several shots and a bottle of clear liquid.
He quickly put some medicine in the vaccine before rolling up my sleeve, and pressed the needle down, shooting the medicine into my body.
"Thanks Adam." I smiled as I pulled my sleeve down.
Adam put the bag out of my reach and brought over leftover lasagna from last night when we heard someone knock on the door.
"I'll get it." He sighed as he put his down on the coffee table.
He opened the door and suddenly I heard a loud punch followed by
"Geez! Dude you broke my nose! Man, that smarts!"
"And you hurt Chase, now get out before I kill you with my own hands."
Then I recognized the voice. Zander. I started hyperventilating as I grabbed at my chest. Adam immediately ran over to me and ignored Zander as he held my shaking body against his chest.
I was breathing unevenly as Tasha and Mr. Davenport came downstairs.
"Get out of my house!" Mr. Davenport yelled.
"Donald, calm down. Let's get him patched up and let him explain before we make him leave. Zander, let me help you with your nose." Tasha explained as she laid her hand on his shoulder before leading him into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, I was shaking and still hyperventilating when Mr. Davenport put his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, buddy, calm down. It's gonna be ok. Daddy and Adee are here. Your gonna be ok." I heard Mr. Davenport comfort while Adam held onto me tightly still.
After a long while, I finally calmed down in Adam's arms and leaned against his chest while Mr. Davenport left the room. Just then, Tasha and Zander emerged from the bathroom, with quite a few bandages on his nose.
"Wha-what do you wa-want?" I asked as I started shaking again.
"Chasey, calm down. You need to calm down or we'll be forced to give you some sleepy medicine. You don't want that, do you?" Adam asked as he ran his hand through my hair.
My "sleepy medicine" as Adam called it was basically a injection that made me really dizzy, tired and trance like, that was supposed to be used when I started freaking out badly or when I tried to make a run for some sort of drug. I shook my head no and stopped shaking.
"Good." He smiled as he ran his hand through my hair.
"Mrs. Davenport, Adam, can Chase and I have a minute alone?" Zander asked.
"Sorry Zander, but Chase isn't allowed to be alone unless we are in close hearing range or we have our smart home system on. I doubt you would want us in the kitchen, plus our smart home system is getting a software update, so we can't turn it on." Tasha explained.
"Well, Adam can stay if he has to, but I really need to talk to Chase, as alone as possible." Zander explained.
"Alright, if you need me, I'll be in my sewing room." Tasha smiled as she went upstairs.
"I'm gonna go make a new nacho volcano." Adam smiled as he ruffled my hair before going into the kitchen.
"You've got a nice family." Zander smiled a bit.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"I wanna apologize, Chase. I shouldn't have ever hurt you, over my sister. Same with Ayden's cousin. I have ruined my relationship with my sister, and I figured that since I can't apologize to her, I would try to apologize to you. I'm really sorry Chase." Zander explained before looking down at his hands.
"Zander, I can tell you are sorry, and I want to forgive you, but it has only been two months since you tried to kill me. So I'm just not ready to forgive you." I explained.
"I get it. If you ever decide to accept my apology, you know my number." Zander said before getting up, then he looked at me. "And tell your step mom thank you, for patching up my nose." He smiled.
"I will."
With that, he closed the door and Adam came over to me, engulfing me in a hug.
"You ok, buddy?" He asked as he pressed my head into his chest.
I nodded before my stomach growled, making me bust into laughter.
"Dude, you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, but my stomach just growled like a monster!" I laughed.
I heard Adam mumble something about side effects before standing up and picking up my lasagna plate.
"I'll go reheat this." Adam smiled.
I nodded as he went into the kitchen. I picked up my book and read it for a few minutes when I heard a BANG and looked at the kitchen to see the microwave had exploded.
"The lasagna may be a bit overdone." Adam said seriously, making me burst out into laughter.
The end.
Well, that's the end! I've decided the next book I will post will be THE VERY FIRST BOOK I EVER WROTE. It'll probably be TERRIBLE, but I am too lazy to rewrite it.
I hope you guys liked this book!
Over and out.
