Chapter13

***

As she entered Xander's room after having a long disscussion with Jamie in the

hall way, she saw he was awake. He looked like Harper and Jamie only

younger."Hi"she said smally.

"Do I know you?'he said in a gruff

tone.

"Um......i'm a friend of Jamie's. My name is Catie."

"So...........am i suppose to care? Or somethin?"Xander became annoyed.

"I don't care if you care or not. But get it through your head your not the only

one with problems."Catie wanted to choke that macho attitude out of

him."You don't even know half of my problems lady. So just leave!"he

screamed and turned his face to the side to look out the window. She saw the

window blinds cast a show on his face."Fine..........but your the one laying in a

hospital bed claiming to see your dead mother. Personally I think you've been

watching to much of the Sixth Sense"Catie also changed her tone to match

his.

"Don't talk about my mother. Any way what do you know about me?"he asked still looking out

the window.

"I know your angry for one. I know your hurting, and it sucks."Catie went and

sat in a chair."I don't know why she had to die. She just left us, one day, told

all of us that she loved us then she goes and dies.'Xander rubbed his hands

over his face in a similar motion Jamie did. "And that mad you angry

huh?"Catie questioned. "Yes. And then Jamie left us for college. And that

made me hurt even worse"he sighed ready for any more questions. "So Jamie

makes you mad?"Catie questioned not surprized at all."Yeah, he was that big

brother that was suppose to be there just like Christopher was suppose to be

there for him"Xander made the blank statement without thinking. "Whose

Christopher, Xander?"came her next question.
