"No, Katie it is my fault. If I hadn't...let us go to your dad's none of this would have happened. I had power to say no to Rosa. I should have. But I didn't. So, it is my fault. All of it is." Jordan answered, more tears coming out of her brown eyes. She bowed her head and kept shaking it back and forth. Pretty soon her silent tears turned into sof tsobs and she could feel arms around her. Chris was hugging her and comforting her, but she didn't want it.
"I killed him. I killed a man. I'm evil. Ruthless. I have no soul. I can't...." Jordan said over and over again. Chris stopped her and sat her down on the chair. She leaned over and put her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands and cried. Katie wanted to know what happened. How could Jordan explain? It was so...hard.
"He hit you. Worse then you thought. Then I hit him. And he fell. He bled. You blacked out and I called the police. I...hit him, with a lamp. A bloody lamp." Jordan explained as she looked up and wiped her tears. She had killed someone, almost killed her sister and she was reliving it...it was horrible. Almost has horrible as her mother dying. Why God? WHY?!, She screamed in her head.

Katie looked at Jordan and she felt sick to her stomach. She started to feel dizzy and she closed her eyes trying to hold back the tears. She than cried even more as she remembered her dream. Her mother had comfort her singing a lulaby after her father had hit her over a spillen milk. "I--- saw my mom........ she was singing to me." Katie said outloud with her eyes still closed. She wished that she didnt say anything and she didnt know what to say at all. "Jordan stop it! stop it! you stoped him in time and I wouldnt be hear." Katie whispered and turned her heaed and closed her eyes tight. Her head really hurt and was thubing madly. She couldnt remember a thing expect what might of happen. Had her father really hit her that hard to almost send her in a comma.
Just then she heard a loud noise coming from the heart momintar. She could feel her heart rate drop and the pain was gone. Katie gasped for air and her head then pulled back at the bed and she could feel her eyes roll back. What was happening to her? Just then the doors open up and the doctors came in and told Jordan, Justin, Chris, Pat, and Rosa to leave. Katie felt scared and she open her eyes in terror at her family as if to say not to go. "No I dont wont them to go no!" Katie said with the lost ounce of strength and she closed her eyes and didnt move. The momentar still beated very fastly and the doctor look at the family and shock his head. "She might not make it." he told them and turned to the girl in the bed and nodded his head in disgust.

There was something in those 5 words that made Jordan die. Something that broke her kindred spirit and hope that was in her eye flitter away. She looked at the doctor, more tears in her eyes. She couldn't take this. It was too much. Too much for her to bear. And that was saying a lot. This is Jordan Elizabeth Quadra Cortes. The girl who lived through her father leaving, her mother dying, and her governness being fired. Though, those were all small compared to this...she felt she could do anything. Or at least this. She could live through this, and she could help Katie live through this.
"You do whatever you can. We will pay. Give her the machines. The medicines ALL OF IT! Just...don't give up!" Jordan said harshly to the doctor. All he did was nod and leave the room. Jordan turned back to Katie and looked at her, hoping to God that everything would turn out all right. If it didn't, what would happen?

Katie lay in the bed motionles but still breathing it was as if on her face she was fighting to get back. The monterater than stop with a long long across it. The doctor looked at Katie and nooded her head. "She was so young." He said turning around and before he walked out the door he could hear the monter beat again and Katie lay still motionless with a determined look on her face. The doctor than turned towards the Cortes family and nodded his head. "Shes in a comma now and all we can do is keep her here and hope she will wake up." He told them and left the room closing the door behind him.
Katie lay in her bed motionless but still breathing. Her body didnt move at all and she looked dead but she wasnt going to give up without a fight. As she was in her thoughs she could see herself in the snow riding a black stallion across the fields. Her hair hung back in the wind as they both rode top speed through the snow. There was a smile on Katies face one that could never be taken away. She than continued to canter on the horse fiding through the night.
