"I'm sorry Amy. It was my fault. You had every right to be mad. I know. I'm at fault. But." he trailed off, uncertainty in his voice.

Amy looked anxiously into his eyes.

"What," she whispered. Amy's eyes looked into his.

"I, I don't think we should see each other anymore. I'm sorry." Colin said slowly.

Amy stood there in shock. She took an awkward step back. She let Colin's words sink in. Emotion ran over her. First sadness and then anger. "You, you're breaking up with me for whom you cheated with, aren't you?" Amy cried tears now flowing out. She was ready to slam the door in his face.

"No, Amy. I, just don't want a girlfriend right now. Erin.she was a one time thing. I can't handle it right now. School's going to be much harder next semester. But I need you still, Amy, please. I just don't think I can be everything you want." Colin stated his words truthfully.

Amy could hear the truthfulness in his voice. She didn't want to believe it. But she had no choice.

"I believe you Colin. And, I'll stick by you no matter what. I promise." Amy said in a quiet voice.

But in heart she wondered if she could keep that. She couldn't stop thinking of Ephram.

I love him. But Colin, he clearly needs me, Amy thought. Amy took the flowers. She breathed into them smelling the gorgeous scent.

"You'll love the gift," Colin told her. Amy smiled, surprising herself. Normally Ephram was the only one who could make her smile these days.

Maybe I'm not as quite as over Colin as I thought, Amy said to herself.

Amy wished she could have control over her emotions. Maybe then everything in her life would be right for once. Amy bit her lip.

"Well," she hesitated, "Want to come inside? We're having a party. She looked at a clock. The guests will be coming soon."

Colin looked at his feet. "Will Ephram be there?" he asked.

Amy stared at him. "No, he's sick. Why?"

"Because he's the only one who doesn't expect me to be this same way. Amy admit it. You expect me to be your perfect boyfriend like I used to be. But I am not that." Colin said.

"He has a very high fever. I'm worried about him," she admitted.

"It's just the flu. You had it. It's probably going around. Right?" Colin asked hesitantly.

"I hope so," Amy said.

He came over here to support me, Amy reminded herself, though he was sick. How could she not love him?

Colin looked around him as he entered Amy's house. He vaguely remembered it. He too felt slightly worried about Ephram with what Amy told him.

But Amy was half right with her statements. He did think he liked someone else. But he couldn't see himself leaving Amy completely with all she had done for him.

But Amy herself seemed to be moving on to someone else. Ephram.

Colin sighed. He didn't know what to do. And Brigtt was in the hospital. Like Amy he thought his life was screwed.

Amy had kept him sane through the whole rehab thing. And it still wasn't over.

How he wished it were.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I just had no inspiration and with no new episodes I lost the touch to write a good story. But I promise I'll try to update much quicker this time. The Miracle of Everwood was a great episode in my opinion.
