"Look Amy, I'm really sorry about earlier. I really fucked everything up and overreacted. I just, everything that is happening to me is a little overwhelming. This place brings back so many old feelings that I had when I was in New York. I hate myself for not being able to go to New York because I stayed here for two reasons, one because this is where home is and the second one I rather keep to myself, at least for now. I really am sorry for all that I said and did. I really didn't mean anything I said and I'm happy to be going through a new part of my life with you there. It really does feel right."
"Ephram, I can switch rooms if you like and give you some space. I'm sure Bright could arrange it." Amy reached up to tuck her hair behind her ears nervously.
"No, don't do that. Everything is perfect the way it is, I mean unless you want to". "No, no I don't want that at all. I'm fine to." "I'm sorry for everything Ephram and when I say that I mean everything. Everything since we first met. I haven't been the greatest friend in the world and I really, truly am sorry about that.
"Amy don't beat yourself up about it, it's in the past. "The past effects the future E. I know you resent me for everything I said and did and I can't change how stupid I acted when I was in high school, I can't make you understand why I did what I did because I truthfully don't know why. I can say that I am sorry though. If I could change it I would. I know sorry doesn't make it any better but I will just have to show you. I won't abandon you, for a change I'm going to be there for you"
"Sounds nice." I smiled up at Amy. A real smile not one of my normal sarcastic ones. She leaned in and gave me a hug, her normal smell of vanilla intoxicated me but I pushed the feelings away. Maybe just maybe we could be friends. Just friends.
