"So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about, Delia?"

            Amy and Delia sat on that same bench outside the hospital. It had been a couple minutes since the girls had left the Monopoly game and they had been sitting outside for a couple minutes now, without speaking to each other.

            Amy was happy to be outside in the fresh air again but was also happy to be away from Ephram for a bit. She needed him, but considering the question that Delia had asked her and the conversation that were about to have, it would be better to do it while not in his presence.

            "Well," Delia began, "there's this boy…"

            Amy smiled, "And?"

            "I think I like him, but I don't know, I know I don't love him –  "

            "Now, Delia, you don't have to love someone to go out with them," Amy interrupted, hoping to calm the girl down.

            "Really? But what if I start liking another guy while I'm going out with this one? Then what do I do?" Delia almost sounded like she was whining, and Amy chuckled at the irony of it all.

            I guess it's not just my problem, she thought, it's the problems of kids and teenagers everywhere.

            She thought for a moment about how to answer Delia's question. It wasn't like she didn't have experience on this problem, but she often wondered if she had made the right decision.

            It all seemed so simple, stay friends with Ephram and support and stay with Colin. But it got more difficult with every day that passed. She knew that she didn't love Colin like she should, but couldn't break up with him, especially now. She wasn't entirely sure of her feelings for Ephram, but there were definitely feelings there. It made her feel so guilty…

            "Amy?"

            Amy looked up, startled, at Delia.

            "Sorry, sweetie," Amy replied quietly, "I was just thinking about how to answer your question."

            Amy paused for a moment, gathering courage and strength and then continued.

            "I think that if you're going out with a guy who you like, then that's great, good for you. But if another guy comes along, who you happen to have feelings for, then you need to work out those feelings, and figure out which guy you like more. If you like the new guy more, then you should gently let the other guy down. But if you still like the other guy more, then you should stay friends with the new guy, but keep going out with your boyfriend." Amy took a deep breath, and waited for Delia's reaction.

            "Kinda like you and Ephram?"

            Amy sighed, "Yeah, kinda like me and Ephram."

            She didn't dare mention any of her thoughts to Delia, she believed that it would be disrespectful to mention any of this to anyone, considering the state Colin was in. That's what made it so complex; she couldn't change any of it.

            Amy decided to get off the subject of her and Ephram's relationship, "So who's this boy?"

            Delia smiled shyly.

            "Come on, you can tell me." Amy smiled at her, "If you don't, I'll just have to codename him Billy-Joe-Bob or something!"

            Delia laughed, "Fine, fine…his name's Mike."

            "Mike Anderson?" Amy asked, having known the family for years.

            Delia nodded and looked down at the ground.

            "Awwww, that's great, Delia!" Amy put her arm around the young girl, and noticed on her watch that it had been a half hour since they left the game.

            "You know what? We better go inside and see what's happening and if there's anything new." Amy stood up off the bench, "Did my explanation help at all?"

            Delia got up and nodded, "Yeah, thanks so much Amy!"

            "No problem! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to come to me, even if I'm busy, okay?" Amy had enjoyed this one-on-one interaction with Delia, she was a good kid and Amy hoped that she could get to know her better.

            "Okay!" Delia beamed at the older girl's offer.

            The new friends headed inside the hospital, soon to be surprised and overwhelmed with the events to come.
