Chapter Ten – Getting Over it

Chris didn't say anything, he just looked at his aunts, and looked around. He knew where Wyatt was. He failed him. He stood up.

"I want to go take a shower, then we have to go save Wyatt. Make sure Melinda knows her powers."
"Okay." Phoebe said not quite understanding.
"Why?" Paige asked

"Because we have to save Wyatt." Chris said almost smiling. He went up stairs, went into the cupboard grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.

Chris opened the shower and turned on the shower to hot. He then closed it, and began to undress. He pulled off his shirt and then looked at himself in the mirror. It had been nearly 3 weeks since his mother died and he changed. Dark circles around his eyes, his skin pearly white, whiter than his aunt Paige's, and his ribs were very noticeable. He must have lost at least 20 pounds, he felt hungry. He than began to think of the fried chicken his mother used to make, his eyes began to fill with tears. NO! He can't cry. One last time. Let it all out now. He began to cry. But then, tears didn't fall, he tried to cry them out, but nothing. He looked up, and forced a smile on his face. It hurt, the muscles of his cheeks hurt. He then jumped in the shower.

Ten minutes later he appeard down stairs in a blue t-shirt with brown lettering on it, Billabong, and jeans; he went to the refrigator and grabbed a piece of pizza. Phoebe, Melinda (a 9 year old witch, with long brown hair, looks a lot like her mother), and Paige looked at Chris in amazement. As he stuffed the pizza in his mouth, and grabbed a cold coke, he stopped as everyone was looking at him.

"What?" he said

"Are you okay?" Phoebe asked

"I am better." He said, "But I have to focus on finding Wyatt, okay." He said he pulled out a chair and sat down. And then he realized, he was on his way of getting over his mother's death.

(Sorry this is so short, I just end Chris' depression. Chapter 11 will be much much much longer).
