Jordon p.o.v

Today's the day we've all been waiting for, Danny gets to start school for the first time. He is also in a relationship with Dylan, but they are taking it slow and working things out on their own. It has had a massive impact on Danny is a positive way. For the last week that they have been dating Danny has not had a single nightmare. Caleb lets Dylan sleep in mine and Danny's room almost every night. In our future house they are going to have a bedroom to themselves and they won't have to worry about me third wheeling. I peer over the side of the bed to see them snuggled up like usual, Danny with his plush firmly in his grip.

His recovery is going well, no one is expecting a miracle overnight when it comes to the healing the psychological damage that he has endured over his fourteen years of life. We are slowly working on getting sorry out of his daily vocabulary. Old habits die hard and he has had to apologise so often when he was with the people who made him. "Come on you two, we all have school today," I tell the couple who just woke up while I was staring at them. I was kinda like Spiderman from here, it's fun even if I do tumble out occasionally. Dylan wakes up first, Danny is more of a guy who loves his sleep. He loves to get some sleep when he can. "Morning Jordon," Dylan says, looking up at me with a smile.

"Good morning Dylan," I tell him, then he nudges Danny who lets us both know he is not happy to be awake right now. I wasn't quite sure he was waking up though. He seems to be mumbling quite a fair bit. "Can you hear that?" Dylan asks me, I flipped over the bar of my bunk and landed on the floor. "Yeah I heard it from up there, I don't know what he is saying though. Maybe I should get Caleb," I tell him, Caleb knows how to decipher the mumbling, maybe he can help us. It's getting quicker and Danny is getting more and more worked up over something. I look to Dylan and he probably mirrors my expression. "Yeah get Caleb," Dylan says, and that was all I needed.

He'll be downstairs with the other carers making sure the little ones eat. I run down the stairs, much to another carer's dislike and almost ran straight into Caleb. "Are you okay Jordon? Do you need me for something?" Caleb asks, he saw me running and I probably look panicked. "No, Danny keeps mumbling and we don't know what he is saying but he's getting really upset," I tell him, trying to let him know how urgent the situation was. "Okay come on. He might be having a flashback or something, today is going to be really stressful for him," Caleb says, following me back up the stairs to the room I share with Danny and partially Dylan. Dylan was still there with Danny in his arms who was curled up and crying whilst mumbling.

It was not a good sight to see. It is worrying to see just how much damage was done. Caleb was there in an instant trying to bring Danny out of the flashback and reassuring him that it was not the life he is living anymore. It took him five minutes, but Danny eventually opened his eyes and saw the three of us looking at him. "It's okay Danny, everything is fine now," I tell him, and he doesn't know what to do next until Caleb encourages him to go for a cuddle where the poor young lad breaks down in tears. Danny definitely has a good bond with Caleb and it's slowly getting to the point where Danny will have that bond with us and we can help him more with his problems. "I'm sorry," Danny says, it is still something that we are working on with him.

"It's okay Danny, you go wash up then come down for breakfast," Caleb says when he calms Danny down. He knows we can look after Danny from here and everything should be fine. He goes into my arms next and then into Dylan's. Dylan kisses Danny on the top of his head and they did a mini dance in the bedroom just before Caleb left to supervise the fussy ones. He doesn't mind coming up to help those in need. He does treat Danny like he is either his son or grandson, but Danny needs that kind of bond to help him recover properly. It has helped a bunch. I watch Danny leave the room then come back a minute later and it looked like he never cried.
