A/n: hey I had the chapter wrote a long time ago. It is after the episode
were Ephram and his dad take the deer back to its home. This starts at the
end when he tells Amy about never asking his dad to operate on Collin.
As Ephram turned around he saw Hallie standing there. Her eyes were filled with tears. Ephram stood there and finally said, "I'm sorry. I should have just asked him in the first place." He covered her face to try to hide that she was crying. Ephram walked over and put his arm around her. She buried her head in his shoulder and started to cry.
After a few minutes Hallie said, "Ephram, I lied to you too."
"What?" He replied.
"Lets go to the park I'll tell you there." Hallie said. They walked a few blocks in silence. When they got there Hallie sat on a bench and said, "You know when I told you that I was fine that Collin was in a coma. Well, I not. The day before the accident I got in a fight with Collin. Before he left I yelled I wish you were died. He spent the night at Bright's house. The next day he avoided me at the fair. That night I found out about the accident and he was in a coma. I felt like it was my fault."
Ephram was shocked. The only thing he could say was "It's not your fault."
Hallie got up and yelled "Yes it is. If I would have never got in a fight with him this would have never had happened." She sat down in the grass and finished what she was saying, "I cry myself to sleep every night. I pray to God that Collin would wake up. Want to tell him I didn't mean what I said." She broke out in to tears. Ephram walked over to her and picked her up. She was surprisingly light. Ephram never notice it, but she was very skinny and frail. Now that he looked kind of closer she was pail. He wondered if she had been eating anything. She stopped crying and told Ephram she would be fine walking to her house. He put her down and she was not fine. She fainted. Ephram picked her up again and started to go to her house. She didn't wake up but she stared to turn red and her breathing got heavy. Ephram started to run, but not to her house but to his.
"Dad? Dad?"
"Ephram, what is it?"
"I think something is wrong. She stared to walk to her house and fainted." Ephram said. He dad asked a lot of questions about what happened. So he he told him the whole story.
