Fiona looked at Jack whom looked down at the bed blushing. He was ashamed for looking at his sister the way he had. What was wrong with him. That was so wrong. He looked at her and without realising it took his anger out on her, "What are you looking at!?" He asked her in his meanest voice though not meaning it.
She looked at him and blushed, "Um" She said unsure of how to answer that.
"So why are you in my room!?" he asked standing for once she was scared she had never seen so much anger and hate inside her brother before. His eyes bored into her but they were nothing like they were the day before when she had been scared and had went to his room. They looked angry and fierce like a lion waiting to pounce on it' s prey. She backed up and he walked towards her and with all the anger he could hold in him he slapped her pushing her out of his room.
She fell to the floor and heard the door slam. She felt her face where he had slapped her and felt tears well in her eyes. Jack had never hit her before and neither had her mother. She felt tears roll down her cheeks but for different reasons than the slap he had given her. She felt she had just had her insides torn out. She felt her heart sink with aunguish and she felt the tears falling faster and faster. She threw herself on the bed as her heart poured out in tears into her pillow.
Jack spun on his heal and walked back to his bed venting his anger so as not to haul off again. He couldnt believe he had just hit Fi. His loving sister. What was wrong with him. He felt tears begin to fall. Tears of anger and humiliation. He was so hurt he didnt know what to do. She would probly never talk to him again now. He sighed and laid face down on the bed his tears falling as readilly as Fiona's were. He hated what his feelings where doing to him.
Fi sat up a few hours later her tears were cried dry and her heart felt empty and cold. She heard footsteps nearing the room they were her mothers. She quickly wiped her eyes and heard her moms knock at the door, "Hey Fi could you help me with something!?" She asked and she felt the bus stop moving. That meant they had arrived.
"Yea coming mom!" She called standing and giving her eyes one last rub before walking into the small hallway. Her mom walked and talked.
"Honey I need you to help me get our luggage up to the room!" She said, "Wheres your brother!?" She asked freaking out, "JACK!?" she called and he appeared in the doorway with his ussual smile and smart remark.
"Im here!" He said and Fi looked at the luggage pretending to be keenly interested in it to avoid looking at Jack. He seemed to be doing the same thing and they helped her carry the luggage up in silence. Molly was the only one talking as they went.
"Mom chill!" Fi finally said, "You will do just fine!"
She sighed looking at Jack, "Right Jack!?" She asked and he nodded.
"Of course mom!" he said ignoring Fi all together.
Molly looked at the two and said, "Is everything ok with you two your acting strange..." she said.
They were in Arizona now so even though it was winter there was no snow. The kids nodded and looked away from each other again and their mom narrowed her eyes at them then raised an eyebrow, "You are sure?" She asked and shook her head walking off to go practice more for her concert that night.
"Well I have to go set up on stage so you two be good for Ned ok?" she asked them looking from Jack to Fi.
They nodded and hugged her in turn before she walked off towards the hotel room door and opened it walking back out and the kids walked away from each other and headed towards the bus back to thier rooms. Ned was listening to music on his tape player and looked up when he saw them. He smiled at them and they smiled back as they went to thier rooms.
Fi walked in hers and saw a dead rat on her floor and fumed, "JACK YOU JERK!" She shouted and stormed out of her room and into his, "WHY DID YOU PUT A DEAD RAT IN MY ROOM!?" she asked throwing it at him and he laughed.
"I dont know" he said and she fumed more glaring at him as Ned ran in.
"Fi whats wrong?" He asked and saw the dead rat, "Jack why did you get that!?" He asked.
"I found it!" he said with a shrug.
"Well im sur eyour mom is not going to like this one bit!" he said and shook his head taking the rat from them and walking back out and Fi reeled on Jack giving him her worst glare.
"Why do you hate me so much!?" She asked tears welling in her eyes.
He looked at her feeling bad now even worse than before, "Im sorry it was just a joke" he said softly.
SHe stormed out of the room and into her own and threw herself onto her bed sobbing yet again as he sat in the other room cursing himself for the second time in one night. He seriously was considering not going near his sister until Christmas so he couldnt upset her anymore.
She layed there. she had almost forgotten it was Christmas it just didnt feel like Christmas to her. She sighed softy and curled into a ball going into a deep but very troublesome sleep not caring it was only noon. She felt more tired than she ever had before in her life.
