Well we don't all hate Roger we just have to strongly dislike him at times

Life's Gifts Chapter Two: Despair

Katie swung open the door to her room and then wrinkled her nose, she hadn't meant for it to become such a mess. In fact it looked like a disaster zone, I can keep my car perfect, but not my room, how ironic. She walked around the room and started picking up the dirty clothes strewn all over her room. "Oliver, would you mind picking up all the books and putting them on my bed?"

"Kates, darling, if I put them on your bed while it looks like that you'll never find them again. I'll change your sheets for you and wash your comforter while I'm at it." He walked out of the room to the linen closet. Why am I doing this, this should be something Roger should help her with. Well, maybe it is because I love her." He pulled out a clean set of linens and walked back into her room and changed the bed.

"Katherine, are you having a visitor?" Mrs. Wood or Athena said as she walked into the room. Talking the comforter from Oliver she flicked her wand at it, muttering a spell under her breath. The comforter flew back to the bed and rearranged itself. Mrs. Wood looked around her room and then pointed her wand and muttered a few more spells and all the room became sparkling clean."

"Thank you, Mrs. Wood. And yes, Angelina is spending the rest of the summer here. I hope that is all right," Katie said nervously. She never really was comfortable for asking for things.

"Of course it is all right. How many times must I ask you to call me Mom? You are like my child, Katie." Athena turned around the room a couple more times and then walked over and pulled another bed out from Katie's. "I think tomorrow we will go to Diagon Alley and get your supplies your list came in. Cade and Dave will be so happy to go back after their last visit though I am afraid that some people may not want them back though. What were they doing selling muggle medications there after all?" She shook her head and then walked out of the room. "Katie, I think they are back now."

Oliver looked at Katie sadly, "I think I'll go help with Angelina's things, but on the bright side I now have two Chasers I can wake up every morning to practice." Maybe I should just come clean and tell her that I think I am in love with her. No, that I am positive that I am in love with her.

Katie looked at Oliver and then smiled, "Ollie, can we talk later?" She looked at him she wanted to tell him that she thought she was in love with Roger. I think I'm in love with him but maybe I am just imaging it. Life is so complicated these days, but then again so carefree. But maybe I'm not in love with Rog after all I suspect him of cheating on me with that girl, oh- what's her name. She looked up at Oliver hopefully.

"Of course, Katie. Just tell me when," with that Oliver walked out of the room and then down the steps. As he went out to Katie's car to get Angelina's things he pondered. Maybe she is going to break up with him. Maybe she found out about him cheating on him and the fact he is bisexual. Finding that little tidbit out was worth the pain it cost me.

Angelina ran into the house and up the stairs into Katie's room. "I think I like Cade. A lot!"

Katie looked at her and then wrinkled her nose, "Cade, ugh, now there is guy that has only ever dated one girl in his life. In fact we aren't even sure of he dates anymore and if he does what they are."

Angelina looked at her and then threw a pillow at her, "Well ever since I broke up with Lee Jordan I need something to occupy my self with. After all walking in a room to find Lee snogging Hermione Granger was not the highlight of my life. So maybe I'll flirt with him."

Katie looked at her and then a slight grin lit up her feature's, "You do just that. It will be rather good for him I think."

Just then Cade and Oliver came in and deposited all of Angelina's stuff there on the floor. Cade then looked at Katie, "Dinner is in thirty minutes and here are your keys." He tossed the keys to her and then walked out of the room with Oliver.

Katie got up of her bed and then said to Angelina, "I think I'm in love with Roger, but I also think he is cheating on me."

Angelina looked at her, "Darling, you don't want to know the truth so I won't tell it to you."

Katie shocked sat down very quickly, "You mean he is cheating on me with Brooke Park-Laine."

Angelina looked back at her oblivious friend and then shook her head, "No one will go out with that skank except Marcus Flint and he's already had her twice."

Katie looked up, "Really, then why does he still stalk me. I mean if he had a girl he should stop stealing my things, I mean it really is disgusting.

Just then an owl flew in the room. It had creamy peach colored feathers and a white face. It stuck out its leg in Angelina's direction. Angelina soberly took of the note and read it aloud, "My darling I am sadly disappointed you decided to leave home but in light of the recent happenings her I feel it may be best if you stay wherever you are. I have enclosed your school list and a small horde of coins." Just then a large barn owl flew in with a sack in its beak. Angelina took the bag and opened it, out spilled a multitude of coins. "I wonder where my mother got these. Last I knew we had barely any money to speak of.

I am sorry for the brevity of this chapter and hope to write a long one for the next time I update, hopefully in the next couple of days.
