The rain slowly fell down the thick glass walls and strummed elegantly onto the slick pavement outside of the Cortes family household. The dreary weather was a dissapointment to Jordan, she was hoping for a warm,bright, and sunny day. But, apparently the weather suited her and the rest of her family's mood. Being angry wasn't an attitude that Jordan was fond of showing, but it always ended up coming out; either because of her family or school. Jordan never really liked showing her emotions, unless it was being happy. Sadness, anger, and hurt were almost always held back. Her body was like a bottle, it held all her firght and worry. A smile always was brought across her face, seeming to be genuine, but most times it wasn't. Most times, Jordan had enough drama in her life, and she had wanted to seem carefree. Only Katie really knew what she was going through. And her, not even a lot. There was disaster at home, and Jordan was hating it.
This disaster in which she hated, was the forsaken marriage between Chris and Patricia. Jordan hated Pat, with all her heart and yet Chris still insisted on marrying her. Jordan had gotten an invitation to the wedding, but she had thrown it into the fire the moment she had recieved it. First, the she-devil fires Rosa Caceiros, Jordan's governnes and the closest thing she had to a mother since her mum died. Then, she-devil entices her older brother into marrying her! This woman was ruining Jordan's life!! Jordan and Katie had arrived late the night before when no one was up. They had snuck in and went to bed without making a sound. Jordan pulled the yellow silk cover over her head and entered a deep sleep, dreading the next day...
The sun rose stealthily over the hills and creeped brightly through the window into Jordan's room. Groaning, Jordan burrowed deeper into her bed spread. She didn't want to get up, but the soft smell of Rosa's blueberry panckaes tickled her nose. Jordan drowsily brushed aside the bedspread and swung her legs over the side of the bed. It was cold in her room, colder then outside and Jordan was getting goosebumps. Shivering slightly, Jordan pulled on her yellow robe and tied the belt around her waist. She brushed her long brown hair and pulled it into a messey bun, then stepped out of her room and tiptoed over to Katie's. She eased open the door, saw Katie still asleep in her bed and closed it again, only to tiptoe upstairs into the kitchen.
The smell of the pancakes was too strong for Jordan to handle, and she ran up the rest of the steps...hoping to reach her freedom. Smiling, hoping to see Rosa, she opened the door to the huge kitchen and opened her mouth to say hello. When, she stopped short and slammed the door behind her. Pat and Chris were making pancakes together, laughing and having a jolly good time. They stopped when they noticed Jordan had entered. Chris walked over to her and kissed his sister on the cheek.
"Pat made your favorite. Blueberry pancakes." He told her, that twinkle in his eye. That twinkle he got when he was hiding something behind the foggy grey lenses. Jordan shook her head and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the table. She sat down in a chair and bit into it. The juice stinging her chapped lips, but tasting oh so sweet. Pat wiped her hands on a towel and put some pancakes on a plate, walked over to Jordan and set it down in front of her.
"No thank you, I don't like pancakes." Jordan lied through her teeth. She didn't want to eat anything the she-devil made. Rosa was the only one who could make the perfect pancakes for Jordan, no one else would EVER be able to replace her, not even some...fancy, gorgeous, perfect housewife. Pat sighed at this, and took the plate back, walking away. Chris shot Jordan a glare, who in return did the same to him.

Katie was in her room curled up into a ball and staring at the white glass wall. She was trembling and moving back in forth the next day she and her sister were to vist her ex father for the funeral. Katie continued to stay in the ball she was in and rocked back and forth. She wasnt ready to go back home she wonted to stay at Hogwarts with her friends and go on the trip. But she was going on the trip if they get this over with very soon. As she rocked back and forth her eyes began to fall and she was once again rocked asleep with fear. As she closed her eyes she fall into a deep dreamless sleep. This was really rare for her becuase she always dreamed of the fist hiting her the kicks the throws. She always dreamed of the pain.
As morning came she open her eyes slowly and she yawned and rose slowy from her bed. She streched her arms into the air and she smiled the sweet smell of pancakes. This make Katie smile and she got up and went to her dresser got out her black shirt with her long black skirt. As she put on the clothes she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked duel and not full of life and her hair was all over the place. Katie sighed and took out her hair brush and brushed her hair starighting it out. After it was striaght she pulled it up into a ponytail and put a fake red rose in her hair to complete the outfit. Katie frowned once again and grabbed her back pack and walked down the stairs quietly and slowly. She wasnt in a good mood right now.
When she reached the kitchen she hoped to see Rosa cocking but instead she saw evil pat with Chris arms wraped around her. Katie smirked at Pat and looked up at Jordan who was already siting at the table. She smiled at her sister and walked over towards the cabiet to get a glass of organe juice. She than accidently push into Pat making her spill the pancakes on the flour. Katie turned around and put her hand to her face in horror.
"I am so sorry really I am" Katie forced the words out and winked at Jordan. She than rolled her eyes at Chris who was helping Pat clean up the mess. She than took the glass of organe juice and walked over towards the table and sat down in a chair on the other side facing Pat and Chris. She wished she could hit Pat and send her out of the house but she wasnt allowed to Chris loved Pat and this disgusted Katie.

Jordan coughed out her orange juice as Katie ran into Pat. The orange liquid spilled all over, and Jordan didn't move an inch to clean it up. With a turn of her head, Jordan looked at her brother and raised an eyebrow. As if to say,"If Rosa were here, she would clean this up." Chris lowered his head and grabbed a dish towel, with this he walked over to Jordan and started to clean up the spilt juice.
"Jordan, I will see what I can do." He whispered. Jordan looked up at her brother and smiled a small smile. She knew what that meant. He was going to try and get Rosa to come back, that wouldn't be too hard...as long as the poor girl hadn't resorted herself to the convent. After Chris was finished with the cleaning he threw the rag down the laundrey shoot and sat down at the table.
At that moment, Pat made her way to Chris and started to massage his shoulders. Chris' head lulled forward in a stuper and Jordan gagged. Pat glared at Jordan and continued to massage Chris. Jordan stood up abruptly and looked at Katie, who didn't seem too happy to see this "love scene" in front of her either. Jordan motioned for them to leave the kitchen, and she walked into the library on the right of the living room.

Katie took a sip of her oragne juice and then Chris cleaned up Jordan mess but then Pat massaged his shoulders. She then was disgusted at the two and she sit her organe at Pat. Katie laughed so hard as Pat looked at her with the sticky subtance on her face. "Ohh I am so sorry but before I live I think you should know I dont realy like you and you should watch your back." Katie said geting up from the table and walking behind Jordan to the library.
Just before they reached they heard a screaming sounc. Katie than had a sly smile on her face and she grabbed Jordan arm and ran to the kitchen. As they reached it Katie started to burst out laughing as she saw bat covered in boils and had a towel stuck to her face. This was the site to see and Katie couldnt stop laughing. She than notice Chris look at her in a dissapointed look and Katie stoped and looked at him inncoently she was going to tell him what she thought of this Pat. "Chris you cant marry her she is evil witch and she dosent like us how could you marry her she is so ugly and Rosa is so much prettier and she loves us. Why?" Katie said as tears came to her eyes.

Jordan watched the scene before her. Her jaw dropped mid open. Katie. Did. What? The look on Chris' face told Jordan he was going to punish her, and punish her hard. Now, Chris would never lay a hand on anyone bigger than a baby fruit fly, but he was known for giving the worst kinds of punishments ever. One time, Jordan remembered, he took all of her Hogwarts things away...he even took her owl. She was unable to communicate with anybody for three weeks. And even when he gave her Hogwarts things back, he didn't give her Sage back. No, she didn't get him back until she left for Hogwarts.
"Chris you cant marry her she is evil witch and she dosent like us how could you marry her she is so ugly and Rosa is so much prettier and she loves us. Why?" Katie asked, her voice trembeling. Jordan looked from Katie to Chris then back to Katie again. She had asked the question that Jordan had been wanting to ask for the longest time now. For the longest time. Oh, how Katie had something Jordan did not! Oh, how Katie knew how to stand up to the adults and Jordan did not! Oh, how Katie was so much more brave and Jordan was not... Jordan held her breath in anticipation on what Chris was going to say to that. But all her older brother did, was lower his head and look at the ground.
"Because, Katie, I do not love Rosa. She may love you kids and care deeply for you kids, but I do not love her." Chris answered in that voice he used when he was getting sorrowful and mourning over something. He used it now when they were speaking of Rosa, but he didn't use it when their mother died, for some reason this struck Jordan as odd. Of course it normally was odd for Chris to even use that tone of voice. Chris never cried, never screamed, never yelled, he was never very emotional for things. Maybe he did love Rosa. But, maybe he didn't want to admit it. Maybe he knew he lost all chances with the spanish young lady.
"Now, for what you did to Pat...I want all your pranking supplies. You won't get them back until you leave for school again. Am I clear?" Chris asked, any hint of emotion that was in his voice had now vanished from sight or sound and left the building. Jordan looked to Katie to see what she would say or do, this was going to be an interesting arrangement.

"LIAR YOU DO LOVE HER AND YOU KNOW IT" Katie screamed back at Chirs with the fire in her eyes. She wasnt scared of adults her father used to hit her and she learned to stand up and never let something like that happen. "LIAR LIAR LIAR YOU LIE" Katie screamed once again and walked up to Pat who looked at her like she was going to slap her across the face. "UGLY WITCH" Katie screamed at her and tired to get Pat mad to show Chris who she turley was. "Now you listen to me young lady and quiet down before I slap you across the face." Pat said at her taking her index finger at her. "True to I dont care" Katie said to pat still glaring at her with the fire in her eyes. "You dont know me you didnt know that I am used to geting hit wont to see the burises on my legs, back, and arms huh huh?" Katie said puting her face up in Pats and glaring at her. She slap Katie across the face with allot of force sending her to the ground. Katie looked up at from the ground with tears in her eyes. When she saw Pat she saw her fatehr and fear stucked her heart.
Katie than touched her face as a big red march lay across it she looked up at her older sister and got up and hug her tight crying on her shoulder. "She...... is a witch" Katie soobed on Jordan shoulder. She than pulled away and glared up at Pat and took out her wand and pointed it at her. "If it wasnt the fact that I am underage I can turn you into a snake and you can crawl back where you came from." Katie said to Pats angry red face.

Jordan put Katie's wand down gently so she wouldn't accidentally mutter a spell and get expelled from Hogwarts. She put a comforting arm around her little sister and looked up at her brother and Pat.
"I want her out of here Chris, by tonight. Or me and Katie will leave. We just took this child out of an abusive house I don't want to bring her into one." Jordan said quietly in a hushed tone that sounded so much like her mother. She steered Katie out into the sitting room, and ran back into the kitch to get an ice pack. The red mark was starting to bruise on the 11 year old's left cheek and Jordan didn't know what to do.
Jordan grabbed an ice pack and turned on her heel to return to Katie, but stopped when she reached the doorway. Jordan lowered her hand that held the ice pack and looked straight ahead, but spoke directly to Pat.
"You are not apart of this family, nor will you ever be apart of this family." Jordan said in a strength that was not her own. She continued to Katie and put the ice pack on her cheek gently so she wouldn't hurt her.

Katie felt hot tears go down her check and the stiging on her face grew. But before she left the kitchen she stoped and look up at Chris who seemed confused. "Now you know the real Pat and when I came here I thought I was going to have a great life away from some one who wonted to kill me but now Pat here I dont feel happy or safe just keep that in mind." Katie said wriping a tear away and walking into the living room. She sat down and accepted the cold ice pack on her check. "Jordan what I said before I left the kitchen was true." Katie said looking away from her sister and crying more.
Just then the door swung open and a women with brown hair and hazel eyes came into the living room. "Jordan what happen here." Rosa said siting down next to Katie and huging her and stroking her head. Katie looked up at Rosa and hugged her back she was like the mother she had just lost.

Chris leaned on the door frame that led to the sitting room, where Rosa, Jordan, and Katie all sat. Rosa looked up at Chris and shook her head in disappointment. Rosa was the motherly figure that Jordan had missed so much over the past months. She was glad that Rosa had decided to visit just then.
"Chris, how could you let this happen?" She asked, looking back at Katie's cheek and moving her head from side to side. The question was filled with sorrow and Jordan had to look at Chris to see his reaction. He didn't stop staring at her, his eyes were alight. Something they weren't when he was around Pat. Jordan knew, he loved Rosa. Not Pat, but...he was too sweet and kind to tell Pat to get lost. Jordan sat there, wondering what could happen.

Katie than pulled away from Rosa and looked up at Chris with her blank stare that she give when she was with her father. Just then she notice Pat starring at her with firey in her eyes and she walked up next to Chris and tried to explain her temper. "Shut up" Katie whispered to Pat with her temper rising. She didnt wont to live with another abusive person she had to many painful memories and bruises that might never go away. Pat than came into the living room and went on her knees and looked at Katie. "I am so sorry honey mommy wont do that again." Pat said trying not to glare at Rosa. Just than Katie stood up and looked at Pat again with the fire in her eyes. "You are not my mother my mother died that last couple of months and Rosa more motherly than you. You just hit me and mothers wonted do that to their child." Katie said looking up at Pat with a glare that can scare anyone. "Honey I am so...." Pat said but she was trailed off by Rosa. "Now I wont you to get out of this house before i call the cops and say that you hit a child thats not even yours yet." Rosa said standing up and walking infront of Katie and glaring at the girl who had fired her. "Jordan Katie get ready to leave to Katie house." Rosa said walking the two girls up the the stairs.
Katie smiled as she grabbed her finally packed back bag and walked over to Jordans room and sat down on her bed. She still had the bruise on her check that still sting her but she ingored it. "Ummm Jordan do I really have to go?" Katie said staring down at her shoe and taking deep breathes.

Jordan tried to stop Rosa, but she knew too well. That lady had made up her mind and there really wasn't anything she could do about it. Jordan was just glad that she would be there with Katie, and Katie wouldn't be alone. Jordan zipped up her yellow duffel bag, placed it on her right shoulder and pulled her hair out, and flipped it behind her shoulder. She looked at Katie bit her lip.
"Yeah. Don't worry. I'll be there. If anything goes wrong, I'll hit him back. Your house does have doors that lock right?" Jordan asked as she led her sister out into the basement area. She sighed and looked up the stairs. Rosa, Pat, and Chris were all arguing in hushed tones. Actually Rosa and Chris were, they were arguing in Spanish. Pat looked annoyed that she ddn't know what they were saying. Jordan did though. And she didn't like the sound of it. She whispered to Katie;
"He says, that it isn't safe at your house. And Rosa said that it isn't safe here either. Chris keeps saying that your father is worse than Pat, and Rosa says we can handle your father. She was here the night he came to sign, she saw how I stood up to him. We're strong." Jordan explained. Chris and Rosa stopped arguing, Chris evidentally having lost the arguement. Jordan looked at Katie, took a deep breath, and walked up the stairs, out the front door and into Rosa's black sedan.

Katie sighed and she was still trempling slightly. She needed to be brave she was a Gryffindor for crying out loud. "Okay at least other people will be there." Katie said taking a deep breathe and picking up her bag and walking behind Jordan to where Rosa car was. They then stoped where the two adults auge in spainsh. Katie looked confused and looked up at her sister to translate. As Jordan did Katie nooded her head both houses werent safe for her and she sighed and open the door to the car and sat down puting her sealt belt on. Rosa than came into the car and they were off to the life she once knew.
As they pulled up the long driveway Katie started to hypervanulate and her eyes grew big. "N-no I dont wont to go!" Katie said seeing her father by the window and waited for her with that grin on his face. She than was forced out of the car and the door open and she turned her head to the side and trempled. "There you are you little stupit child come in." her father said in his cold face and watched as Rosa drove away. He than shut the door with a loud wack and turned to his daughter and her friend. He than walked forwards but Katie grabed Jordan and ran up the stairs with her father following close behind them. "Run Jordan Run!" Katie said out of breathe and sliping on the glass flour.

Jordan looked back at Katie. No. She wouldn't let him. Taking out her wand, Jordan pointed it at the man who was coming close to Katie. She stood in front of the younger girl and held her wand strong. The man stopped and chuckled.
"You can't use magic outside of school." He said, amusement in his voice. Jordan tilted her head and kept her wand at steady position. She wasn't going to take this. Not from the likes of him. She was better than that. She might not be brave like a Gryffindor, but she was brave. She might not be cunning or sly like a Slytherin, but she knew some tricks. She might not be smart and witted like a Ravenclaw, but she wasn't dumb. She knew a few things. Things like bluffing. And threatening. So, here she held her ground and kept her stance.
"You'll get expelled." He continued. Jordan raised the wand higher as she took a step back and he advanced forward. She wasn't frightened of him. She could never be frightened of a guy like him. He was just a bully. Afraid of losing something he used to control. Well, this is where he loses everything he controlled.
"Does it look like I care? If you harm either Katie or I. I swear you won't be able to walk again. Am I clear? Go Katie. I'm right behind you." Jordan said in a nasty tone. She walked backwards, her wand still steady and her eye not leaving his. When she reached the room in which Katie had entered she quickly ran inside and closed the door. Locked it and put her wand down. She was taking big breaths. Trying to control her nerves.

Katie smiled at her sister as she threaten her father, she knew that people thought Hufflepuffs were dumb but Jordan has a personailty from all houses. She could lose her temper like Slytherins, she was brave like Gryffindors, she was smart with many things, and she was loyal friend and sister as a Hufflepuff. Katie than stod up and ran to her red room and went to her bed and sat down and looked at the flour trempling. As they heard the door being pounded on Katie felt tears iin her eyes and she started to cry. "Jordan why couldnt we go to Rosa or stay hom I can only take Pat and Chris is right my father is more abousive than Pat." Katie said puting her hand to her check and she started to cry. As she heard the silence in the room Katie curled up into a ball and rocked back and forth liked she used to for the many years that she lived with her father.

Jordan tucked her wand in her sleeve of her jacket and made sure it stayed there as she crawled over to the younger girl. She picked her up and laid her in her lap. Why had this happened? What made it so...terrible that they had to resort to this? Well, one thing was for sure...this was not going to be good.
"Shh, Katie. It's alright. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings these are a few of my favorite things. Cream colored ponies and crips apple strudels. Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things.Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites. When the bee stings. When I'm feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things. And then I don't feel so...bad. Everything is going to be fine. Chris won't let us be here for long. He'll get us. I know he will." Jordan whispered into the night, holding Katie tight.At least, she hoped he would.

Katie listen to Jordan and she strred off into space with a blank stare. She still trempled and she felt he knees go weak, why had she deserve this? What had she done in the past to resort to this viloence? Katie than jumped at the sound of her door being knocked on even harder. "Hes trying to knock it down..." Katie said looking frieghten and hoped the Chris will also come. Just then her door came down and she saw her father looking at her and Jordan with his cold stare. "GO AWAY!" Katie yelled and huged Jordan hoping that it will only be a dream. But it wasnt she could feel some one grab her hand and pull her to the groud. Katie than felt even more scared as she laid on the ground. She than crab walked to the side wall and looked up at her father with a frighten stare.
Katie than pulled up her knees and burried her face in her knes and waited for it to be over. Just than Katie got up and looked at her father right in the eyes. She had taken this to much and she couldnt be scared she had to stand up to her father. "You little brat I never liked you and you belong with that family you live in." he said laughing coldly. "I do and what are you going to do about that?" Katie said staring back at him with her cold stare. He stopped laughing and raised his fist and hit her. Katie than was send to the ground almost knocked out but she was fine. She started to breathe hard and wished Chris will come and stop it.

Jordan coughed from the corner of the room in which she had hidden, well not really hidden, more like cowered. But, that wasn't like Jordan. She wasn't one to cower. It was all new. She couldn't take it. Jordan stood up, and looked around the room, trying to find something heavy. If she couldn't use magic, her muscles would have to do. She found a lamp standing on a table, Looking at the table and realizing it was solid oak, she grabbed the lamp and looked at the man menacingly.
"Yo, Abuser. Yes you. No, the other one in this room. I'm sorry your wife died. And I'm sorry, you don't love Katie. But, please sir, keep your hands to yourself." Jordan said, in that tone of voice she used with her brothers when she was angry at them. It was like a sarcastic-killing-rage tone that no one really liked. Mr. Davenport turned to face the 13 year old and Jordan smiled. He walked towards her, his hand ready to come down hard. Before he could touch her, Jordan swung with the lamp. The glass broke against his head and the lightbulb shattered. She had hit him. With a lamp, though she would rather have liked to use the table.
The man swaggered and had to lean up against a wall for support. Jordan watched as blood gushed out of his head, not a lot, but enough to make him woozy. He started to sway and then....he fell with a thud. Jordan gasped and she looked down in horror. Was he unconscious? Or was he dead? Did she kill a man? Was she a murderer? Would she go to jail? No. It was for self-defense...it had to be, she was protecting Katie, so it wasn't for self-defense, but for...being a hero? She was confused, and frightened. Jordan dropped the remaining part of the lamp and sunk to the floor. Bringing her knees to her eyes and rocking back and forth, chanting;
"What have I done?"

As Katie laid on the flour she could taste her own blood in her mouth. She felt dizzy and watched Jordan hit her father on the head with a lamp. As he went to the wall and closed his eyes Katie crawled up to Jordan and hugged her from behind. "Its okay Jordan you did the right thing....." Katie whispered and pulped to the ground with her eyes closed and not moving. As she laid on the flour she could see her mother through her eyes talking to her telling her to wake up. She could see her red hair and kind green eyes singing a lublay to her. "Hush little baby dont say a word momma gonna buy you a mocking bird and if that mocking bird dont sing to you momma gonna buy you a diamond ring." Katie could hear the voice in her head. Katie could also see herself siting in her lap after her father had hit her for the very first time. She was only seven at the time and accendtly knocked her milk on the flour.
Just hours later Katie woke up revealing a white room. She than was frieghten and groaned as everything was dizzy to her. What had just happen? Did she really see her mother? Where was she? "Jordan" Katie said faintly hearing the sounds of a beating IV. What really happen and how did she get to where she was Katie leaned up in her bed and she looked around the room seeing Jordan, Justin, Chris and Rosa standing around waiting for her to wake up. "Jordan what happen? Where am I?" Katie said trying to look at her sister but she was really dizzy.

The last hour or so was all a blur to Jordan. The police showing up. Chris, Justin, Rosa, and Pat showing up. Katie, nearly dying, and Jordan....killing a man. It was like she blinked and she was shifted to another place. In someone elses arms. In a car. Or in a room where the floor was cold and the walls white. She wasn't awake. Her eyes were opened. But, her mind was somewhere else. She couldn't stand. Or walk, she was unable to do anything on her own.
Chris told her she wasn't going to jail, despite Justin's outbursts of "YOU ARE A MURDERER!" But, that was Justin. He liked to tease. Jordan had cried and buried her head in Chris' jacket, hoping the world would just disappear from sight. Though, that was wishful thinking. Again, Jordan was taken to another room. This time with a bed, a chair by the bed, a machine by the chair by the bed, and one window. The walls were white and there was barely any light. Katie lay on the bed that was by the chair and the machine. Suddenly, Jordan was awake. She was quiet but awake.
They sat in silence, waiting for her to wake up. Waiting for the fragile and frail body to come back and be lively and happy. Waiting. Their breath, caught in their lungs and their heart beating away with every second it took to refill the IV. Silence. No one dare moved. No one dare spoke. It was all too much of a risk. Every once and awhile Chris and Pat would go and get something to drink for themselves and bring back food and water for Jordan and Justin. They wouldn't touch their food. They were too frightened. Too frightened of what could happen, and too frightened of what might happen.
And when Katie spoke. There were sighs and tears of happiness as she said her words. Everyone smiled, everyone that is, besides Jordan. As Jordan walked to the side of the bed, and held Katie's hand, everyone became silent again. Jordan cried and looked down at her little sister. How could she let this happen? Older sisters were there to protect! Not to harm! How could this...?
"Katie...I'm so sorry. I ...I'm sorry. It's all my fault. All my fault." Jordan whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks and gasps escaped her lips. She couldn't believe this had happened. What had gone wrong? Why didn't Jordan attend to Katie instead of hit Mr.Davenport? Why couldn't she...just...for once, be there?

Katie listen to Jordan as she looked stressed and scared. Her father was dead but how? Jordan only hit him on the head it wasnt that bad to kill him. katie than turned at a mirror next to her bed and her face was swollen blue and her body was so skinny. Katie lay in her the bed shaking. She than turned her head at Jordan and tired to shake it. "Jordan it isant your fault you were protecting me if you didnt hit him on the head and stopped him I wouldnt be here now. He was really drunk Jordan dont worry." Katie whispered and looked at the nurse who was changing her IV. She groaned and turned her head back at her family and tired to smile. "Is he really dead." Katie said a little shocked. She felt hot tears go down her check and she screamed in pain as it went down a fresh cut.
"I wont to know what happen." Katie demaned and turned towards Chris who looked stressed. She than looked at Jordan who held her hand. Katie squezed it tight and more hot tears went down her check. Why did this happen? Katie than looked out the window as it was dark out. She just wished she never woke up and disapear for ever.
