The next four days Ephram didn't hear from Hallie. She was not at school. She didn't pick up her phone or answer her e-mails. On the fifth day his dad said he would do the surgery on Colin. He called her phone number.

"Hello.Hello.Oh ya. I forgot this is a answering machine. Leave a message after the beep."

Beep.....

"Hallie, Hallie are you there? Please pick up the phone. Well I you hear my dad is going to do the surgery on Colin. Call me back. Bye."

Hallie heard the message; she didn't pick up the phone. She did want to talk to anyone. But she was glad he was getting the surgery done.

A/n: Sorry this is so short. I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
