Chapter 18
Harmony
(Chapter from Katie's point of view)
When we got home from shopping, dinner was already served. Yumm! Mom made her delicious spaghetti sauce. We enjoy our family meal and then we leave the table towards different places. Joe and Kevin stay in the kitchen to do the dishes because it's their night. Usually, it's me or Mom. Frankie goes in the lounge to play on the Wii (figures!) and I head upstairs towards my room. As I go by Nick and Frankie's room I hear the sound of a guitar and Nick's soft voice signing.
Knock! Knock!
The music stops, I come in.
- Hey, sorry to interrupt, can I come?
- Sure! Nick answers inviting me to sit next to him on his bed.
- What are you doing? I ask
- You know, writing lyrics and trying out some stuff...
- Can I see?
- Okay, well I was fixing up A Little Bit Longer
- Oooh! I love that one, it's really is emotional and nice.
- Ya, it really means a lot to me
- Let's go play it on the piano downstairs, I say
- Okay, but you have to sing it with me, Nick says
- Fine!
We head downstairs and ask Frankie to stop playing his video game for a while. Nick sits down at the piano and I stand next to him. He places the lyrics on the piano and starts to play. He sings the first verse.
Got the news today
Doctor said I had to stay
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
When I thought it'd all been done
when I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
At the same time all the family comes and gathers around the piano to listen. At the second verse, Nick looks at me and I know that means he wants me to sing it. I know my voice is nice...It must be a family thing, but I don't like singing that much. It's not my passion. I really don't want to be that girl that has famous brothers and that benefits from that situation to carve herself a place. I want to do my own thing: dancing.
I start to sing.
All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
Waiting on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
Everyone is listening as Nick and I finish the song by singing the chorus.
But you don't know what you got till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And everytime you smile you laugh you glow
You don't even know (no, no)
You don't even know (no, no)
You don't even know (no, no)
When we let go off the last note, silence fills the room. I look at Mom as she quickly wipes a tear from her eye.
- That was really good, Joe finally says, breaking the silence.
- Katie, how many times do we have to tell you that you're wasting that beautiful voice of yours by letting no one hear it? Kevin says
- Singing in public is just not my thing, sorry, I answer
- It's a shame, Dad says
- Guys, Katie can do whatever she wants, you can't force her, Mom says
- Thanks Mom, I say
- Well, I liked it, Frankie adds
- If you liked it, it means it's good Frankie! Nick says
- Phew! Time flies by! Mom starts. It's time to go to bed, everyone has to get up early tomorrow morning.
We all head upstairs and get ready for bed. When all the lights are closed, I toss and turn and my bed, but I can't get asleep. I don't want tomorrow morning to come. I don't want them to go already. I get up and go to Nick and Frankie's room. Frankie sleeps like a rock, so no worries of walking him up. I get in and climb the ladder to Nick's bunk.
- Nick! Nick! I whisper
- Hun! It's the morning already! He says softly keeping his eyes closed.
- No dummy! It's me, Katie!
- Katie!? He whispers opening his eyes and sitting up. What are you doing here?
- Well, I couldn't sleep, I don't want you guys to leave. What am I going to do without you, I say my voice shaking and tears running down my face.
- Oh Kats! Don't cry, Nick says whipping the tears off of my cheek. We're always there for you. You can call us anytime, even if we can't answer right away, we'll call you back for sure.
- O..Okay, I whisper calming down. But...can I stay with you tonight?
- Ummm...This bunk is kinda small for two persons...
- Hey! I'm not that big! I'll fit in, I promise
- Okay. Goodnight Katie. Have nice dreams
- Ya. You two Nick
I fall asleep very quickly, feeling like if a weight had been taking off of my chest. I know they'll always be there for me, even from far...But I'll still miss them.

What I don't understand is that, if Katie is going to miss them so much why doesn't she just go with them. I know she'd miss her friends, but this would be and oportune time to go, I mean just getting over the rape, the crash and all that. Ya know?
