Donte Halstead

Part 2

Donte PoV
I woke up and there was no one home. I looked at my phone and there was a message from kelly
Kelly: on shift if you need anything ring me. Will should be there soon
What does uncle Will want? Maybe it's about dad. What if dad's okay?
I rang dad's phone and someone answered.
??: hello?
Donte: dad?
Dad: hey trouble
Donte: you're okay?
Dad: I'm a little bruised but I'll be okay
Donte: I was scared. I was thinking what if this time you don't make it
Dad: I'm sorry I scared you
Donte: there's nothing you could have done. I'm just being stupid
Dad: hey no you're not. I'm coming home today. I'll see you later okay?
Dad ended the call and I got ready and went to the store. I got a cake and some of dad's favourite chocolates then went home. Liam was at the table I'm guessing doing homework.
Liam: dads coming home today
Donte: I know. has Erin been here?
Liam: yeah to get some stuff for dad
Donte: is she okay?
Liam: she seemed it
Donte: can we get chinese for dinner?
Liam: you got any money?
Donte: 20 bucks
Liam: okay
Donte: Liam you wanna go to the gym?
Liam: come on then
We got an Uber to the gym
Liam: pace yourself okay. If you need a break then just sit down cause I bet you haven't taken your meds have you?
I shook my head. We got started with our workout and I started to feel weird. I sat down and Liam came over
Liam: you okay?
Donte: feel weird
Liam: weird how? Seizure weird?
Donte: I don't know. Probably
Liam: just take it easy. We're half way through the session now anyways.
I started doing bench press and I benched a pb of 100lbs
Liam: you ready to go home?
Donte: yeah
Erin came and picked us up

The boys got in the car and I began the drive home.
Erin: Donte you okay?
Donte: yeah im fine why?
Erin: cause of yesterday?
Donte: mhm I was just erm I
I looked at him in the mirror and his face was lightly twitching.
Erin: Liam he have any today?
Liam: no but he began feeling weird during our workout
Donte: I was scared
Erin: I know
Donte: is dad home?
Erin: not yet Wills gonna bring home soon. They just need to take his bloods and see how he's healing
Donte: how bad is it?
Erin: he's definitely had worse. He dislocated his shoulder, he has a few broken ribs and a few cuts on his face and over his body
Donte: when do you think he'd be home?
Erin: I'd say around dinner time but I won't be here
Liam: why?
Erin: I have to finish some paperwork at the district
We arrived home and the boys went in

Donte pov
I went straight to my room and went on my PlayStation. Hours went by and I heard the door. Liam must have gone to the shops. A few minutes later, my door opens and dad is just standing there
Dad: where's my welcome home?
Donte: Dad!
I jumped up and gave him a hug
Donte: I was scared
Dad: I'm sorry kiddo
We went downstairs and Liam and Will were just talking in the kitchen.
Liam: we're ordering Chinese if you guys want some?
Dad: sure
Donte: what kinda stupid question is that?
Dad: be nice
Donte: I was joking. Uncle Will you staying?
Will: just for dinner cause I'm on call
Donte: oh okay. Can we watch a movie?
Dad: sure
Liam: let's watch Ted
After about 20 minutes the food arrived and we started plating up our food. I only had a little bit.
Dad: that all you're having?
Donte: I'm not that hungry
We all sat on the sofa and dad started hissing in pain so uncle Will gave him some painkillers. We sat and watched the film and then went up to bed.

No one's pov
The halstead household was silent and peaceful. Will had gone home and all the guys had gone to bed. Donte and Liam were fast asleep. Jay however was also asleep but battling with the trauma he had endured the last couple of days. Despite taking his medication, his mind was still against him replaying every moment of torture that he had endured. He felt every taze, every punch, kick, strikes. He felt it all. After all he had been through, it was far from over.

Donte pov
I was woken from my sleep by screaming.
??: help! Please! I'm sorry! Ahhhhh! It hurts!
I then realised it was dad so I went to his room and he was having a nightmare. I remember what uncle Will used to tell us 'don't touch him whilst he's having a nightmare'. Of course when the last time dad had a nightmare  I didn't listen and it ended up with dad pulling a gun on me. I walked in and dad was breathing heavy and whimpering.
Donte: dad it's Donte. You're safe. You're at home with me and Liam.
I ran to Liams room and woke him up.
Liam: what Donte?
Donte: dad's having a nightmare and it's really bad.
Liam: call Erin
I got my phone and called Erin
Erin: what's up Donte?
Donte: dads having a nightmare and it's really bad. He's whimpering and crying. I don't know what to do. He hasn't had one in a while.
Erin: don't worry I'm coming now

Erin pov
Erin: Hank I need to go. It's Jay.
Hank: Go. You need me to come with?
Erin: no it'll be fine
I went home and i could hear Jay screaming. I ran up the stairs and Donte just looked at me with tears in his eyes. I gave him a hug
Erin: it's okay. Why don't you go to your room okay? I'll be in to talk when your dads settled okay?
Donte: mhm
I went into our bedroom and Jay had tears rolling down his face and he was whimpering
Erin: Jay baby it's Erin. You're okay. You're at home in Chicago.
I lightly stroke his hair and he shot up looking confused. All of a sudden all the colour was stained from his face and he ran into the bathroom. I followed after him  and he was throwing up a few times before just collapsing weakly to the floor. I sat beside him and he laid with his head on my lap so I ran my fingers through his hair
Erin: hey baby you feeling better now?
Jay: mmm dizzy
Erin: okay. Do you think you're ready to go back to bed?
Jay: mmm you stay? No work
Erin: you ready to stand up?
I held jays hand and helped him stand to his feet. He was very unsteady but I supported him and walked him to the bed.
Jay: off
He was pulling at his shirt so I helped him take it off. I then got into sleepwear which was one of jays t-shirts and a pair of shorts. Jay laid down and I laid down beside him. He then put his head on my chest so u started running my fingers through his hair.
Erin: you're okay baby. You can sleep
Jay: love you
Erin: I love you too
Jay: can we watch a film?
Erin: what film you want?
Jay: drop dead Fred
I put it on and half way through I felt his breathing even out
