CHAPTER ELEVEN
(chapter title – Will I)
"Christopher, could I talk to you for a sec?" Roger inquired the next morning. Kaitlin, Sara, Ally and Mark were still asleep and Roger wanted to get something off his chest before they woke up.
"Sure." Christopher told him, coming out of his room wearing a black sweatshirt and black jeans.
"About last night, what was that about?" Roger asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Christopher told him flatly.
"I'm sure that Hannah's gonna be at Maureen's protest. I would like you to go. It could be good for you." Roger said.
"I'll live if I don't go." Christopher muttered.
"Sure you will." Roger told him, going to his room. He, Sara, Ally, Mark and Kaitlin were going to a Life Support meeting and would be home after the meeting was over.
"Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?" Matt sang.
"Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?
Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?" The rest of the group sang. Christopher came walking in the door a few minutes later and stood next to Roger on one side and Sara on the other. Roger smiled over at Christopher. Christopher smiled slightly back at Roger.
"Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?
Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?
Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?" Christopher sang along with the rest of the group.

"Thanks for coming, Christopher. I'm proud of you." Roger told the young man as they headed out of the meeting area.
"Thanks." Christopher said, kicking a pebble with his shoe.
"Are we gonna catch the subway to help aunt Maureen?" Sara asked. The others nodded and climbed down the subway stairs, smiling at one another.
