"These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase"
Ephram heard someone singing that song, but he couldn't tell who it was, and the song was in no way known to him. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't place it in his unconscious state.
"You cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
You'd scream I'd fight away all of you fears,
I've held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have, all of me"
He tried convincing his eyes to open and his mind to wake up, but it wasn't happening. He kept listening to the song, and he could feel it moving him inside. He knew what was happening now.
Amy was singing that to him, she was sitting right next to him wherever he was, he couldn't remember. He felt her hand in his, but he didn't understand, if he could feel her hand, and hear her singing, why couldn't he wake up? What was wrong? He should be able to open his eyes and smile at her beautiful face, shouldn't he?
Then it hit him, when he fell asleep in his dad's office, he just remembered where he was, he must not have only fallen asleep, he had passed out into a place that was completely dark, and he was slowly being brought back to reality. His mind was waking him up, but it wasn't time to say hello to the world yet, he was still I that dark place that he hated so much.
But at least he knew Amy would be there when he woke up.

Amy sat with Ephram holding his hand and singing a song she had just recently heard on the radio called My Immortal. She had loved that song from the beginning, and she knew Ephram would too, but he wouldn't wake up so she could let him hear it.
He stayed in the same position for over three hours, and she stayed with him, not wanting to leave his side, because she knew that if she left, he was going to be alone when he woke up, and he wouldn't want that, she knew he wouldn't.
"You used to captivate me,
By your resonating life,
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind" She kept singing, hoping he would wake up and hear her, but he never did. He just laid there in what seemed to be a peaceful sleep, but it was really torturing Ephram beyond belief.
He wanted to wake up, and he wanted her to know that he could hear her, but there was nothing he could do, he just remained in the blackness his mind had led him to, and it was driving him crazy.
'I'm here Amy, I'm right here. I can hear you, I can feel your hand in mine, just don't stop singing.' He tried to tell her with his mind, but he knew that was useless. He mentally laughed at himself, 'You're an idiot Ephram Brown, you know she can't hear you, that's just plain crazy!'
He didn't know it, but he was smiling, and that caught Amy's attention, "Ephram, Ephram can you hear me?" Amy stood up and walked a little closer to his bed, "Ephram wake up, we're al worried about you here, your dad can't work very well knowing you're like this, just wake up." Amy knew she was crazy, 'He can't hear me.' She thought to herself, but the funny thing was, he could.
They were both thinking the same thing at the exact same time, thinking the same exact thing about each other. One of them was right, but the other one was wrong, Ephram being the first.
Ephram struggled through the darkness this time. He tried seeing if there was any bright light he could walk towards, but he knew that was also crazy. 'WAKE UP EPHRAM, WAKE UP!!!' He yelled at himself, trying to get himself to open his eyes, and, surprisingly, it worked.
He slowly began to see light, and then blurs, and then he could see Amy standing over him, smiling, "Hey buddy." She smiled a little bigger.
He didn't smile he just let out a sigh of relief, "Man am I glad to see you." He looked over at the window; it was getting dark outside, 'Great, just what I need, more darkness.' "What time is it?"
"It's about 6:30. You've been out for awhile, we've all been waiting for you to come back to us, you must have really been tired." She sat back down.
"You have no idea." He smiled a little bit this time, but it quickly faded away when he remembered what he heard, "Was that you singing earlier?"
Amy looked up at him and blushed, "You heard that? Why didn't you wake up?" She stood back up, but let go of his hand.
"I couldn't." Amy gave him a weird look, "I know it sounds dumb, but I couldn't wake up, I don't know why, I just couldn't." He looked at the door, which was being opened.
"Hey Ephram, how are you feeling?" It was Andy, he had been finished with work for quite some time, but he wanted to wait outside and let Amy spend time with him, "I heard the two of you talking and thought I'd see how you're feeling."
"I'm a little tired, and I'm sore for some reason, but other than that I'm fine." He sat up on the bed, "Can we go home?"
Andy smiled at Amy, and she smiled back, "Yeah, you need to eat something anyway, and I'm sure Amy's parents would love to see her again, so why don't I drop her off at her house and then we can go."
"That sounds fine to me." Ephram got down from the bed and attempted to walk, but his legs didn't agree with that. He fell to the ground before he could grab onto to anything, which made him crash into a tray of needle and other things. He looked up at his dad and laughed a little, "Ouch."
"Are you okay?" Andy offered his son a helping hand, which was graciously taken.
"Yeah I'm fine; I guess my legs must have fallen asleep." He stood back up and steadied himself, this time successfully walked out of the clinic and to the car. He looked up at the sky and saw stars littering the air. He took a deep breath and smiled, "It's good to be back."
Amy looked at Dr. Brown and gave him a worried look, and he gave her the same. They both knew that he meant something by that, if he even meant to say it out loud, but either way it didn't make sense, and that's what worried them.
