Chase's POV:
I really couldn't be happier right now. Its summer, I get to relax (when we're not going on missions), and I get to see my friends almost every day. That's right, I made two new friends! Their names are Berlin (A/N: Berlin is portrayed by Sammi Hanratty) and Colton (A/N: Colton is portrayed by Kevin Quinn).
Until… I got some unexpected news. I knew that this would change my whole summer and turn it inside out. I only had thirty days… What was I going to do with such little time?
Whoa! I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me try explaining whole thing to you all…
-Flashback Just Hours Before-
"It's finally summer!" I exclaimed as my friends and I walked through the halls of school. "I know! Finally, we won't have to wake up at 6:30 anymore!" Berlin exclaimed. "Well, Chase might have to because he's a superhero," Colton said with a smirk. Colton and Berlin were the only two people I have told I was bionic.
"Yeah, the pain about it will be waking my siblings up. They can literally sleep forever," I replied. Colton and Berlin started laughing. "So do you guys want to hang out at my place after school?" Colton asked. "I can't. Mr. Davenport wants me home for something. It sounded kind of serious," I explained.
"Well, let us know what happens, okay?" Berlin asked. "Okay," I replied. She smiled and I blushed. I didn't ever tell anyone this, but I've always had a big crush on Berlin ever since we met. But I bet she doesn't feel the same way.
"Shoot, I better get going. I'm already late. Talk to you guys soon," I said as I hurried out the door. I rushed home and got there just in time. "Oh good. You're here," Mr. Davenport said sounding a bit intense.
I caught my breath and said, "Yeah… sorry." "It's fine. Do you wanna sit down?" Mr. Davenport asked. I nodded. We both sat down and he looked at me for a minute. Then I asked, "So… are we gonna talk… or…?"
"Um, yeah. We have to wait for the rest of the family though," Mr. Davenport replied. "Wait, why?" I asked. "I thought this had something to do with me." "It does, but I think the whole family should know," Mr. Davenport explained.
I looked at him confused. What should they know? Millions of thoughts were rushing through my head. Did I get bad grades? Did I mess up on something? Was I no longer apart of the team!?
Leo, Adam, and Bree came in through the door. "We're here!" Leo exclaimed as he got off of Bree's back. (She must have super sped them back home.) "Good. Now we're just waiting for Tasha. Sit down on the couch guys," Mr. Davenport said as he gestured for them to take a seat.
The three of them sat down. "Do you know what's going on?" Bree asked me. I shook my head. "No, do you?" I asked. "No," She replied. That made me even more anxious.
Tasha came in through the door. "Sorry I'm late! Work was incredibly busy today," Tasha explained as she dropped her purse on the floor next to the couch. She sat next to Mr. Davenport. "Alright. Now we can get started," Mr. Davenport said.
"As you all know, the other day I did testing on you three to see if there were any problems. Like viruses, glitches, anything among those lines," Mr. Davenport started. I swallowed hard. Where was this going?
Then he continued, "Bree and Adam, you're completely healthy and won't have to worry about doing another testing until next year." "Yes!" Bree and Adam exclaimed. "Woo! I'm normal!" Adam shouted.
"Chase…" Mr. Davenport started. His voice began to crack. "You do have a virus," He said. "Okay… so what's the big deal? You get a cure and boom, I'm back to normal," I told him.
Then Mr. Davenport put his hands in his face and started crying. Tasha rubbed his back. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" She asked softly. "Yeah… What's wrong? Can't you just do that?" I asked. My stomach started to turn. Why was Mr. Davenport crying?
"You uh…" Mr. Davenport started as he took his hands away from his face and started wiping his tears. "You have a very r-rare virus. There isn't really a way to c-cure it. Once it's been in your system for over a month, it's like you can't get rid of it," He explained. Then he gulped. Tears started to flow again. "As of tomorrow… Y-you only have t-thirty days to… live," He stuttered.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. Bree and Tasha gasped, Leo looked at Mr. Davenport in shock, and Adam started to cry. I didn't do anything. I was still baffled by the fact that I only had thirty days to live. I was going to die.
-End of Flashback-
I've been staring at my phone for ten minutes. I know I should call Berlin and Colton and tell them the news, but I just can't. What do I even say? What will their reaction be?
I sigh. I'm going to have to tell them sooner or later. (I'd rather it be sooner than on my death bed.) I pick up the phone and dial Colton's number. I knew that Berlin was hanging out with Colton so I wouldn't have to explain it to them separately.
"Hey, Chase!" The both exclaim into the phone. "Uh… hey guys," I say. "So, how'd it go with Mr. Davenport? What'd he have to say?" Berlin asks. My mouth goes dry. I swallow hard and explain everything to them, crying as I went.
As soon as I was finished, I could hear Berlin bawling on the other line and Colton trying to comfort her. This made me cry even harder. "I-I don't know what to say," Colton tells me.
"Come over right now, Chase!" Berlin shouts into the phone. I end the call and run over. (Colton's house is only a block away.) Without even ringing the doorbell, Colton opens the door, takes me by the shirt, and drags me into his house.
We lock the door in Colton's room and we all just start crying. It felt good to get all of my emotions out with my best friends. They were just as hurt as I was. "What are we going to do?" I ask as soon as we calm down.
"Whatever we do, if these are your last days, then we have to make the most of it," Colton replies. Then, Berlin's face lights up. "I have the greatest idea in history!" She exclaims.
"What?" Colton and I ask at the same time. "Tomorrow, come to my house. Chase, bring your siblings along too. They're going to want to be with you as much as we will for the next thirty days. I'll tell you guys everything then," She explains.
Colton and I nod. Then we all hug. I really couldn't believe I only had thirty days. But I had a feeling that they weren't going to be wasted…
So… This fanfiction is going to have about 30 chapters. Each chapter representing one day. I'm going to try and upload this fanfic every day after I update my other ones. (I hope) I'm really excited about this one and I know you guys are going to laugh and cry. Can't wait.
Alright, I'm out,
