As Amy passed through the tedious hospital hallway, her mind was racing. Things had taken a surprising turn and quite frankly, she had no idea how to deal with it. Amy knew that Dr. Brown hadn't told her something important and was aware that there was something that was not right.
What was she supposed to say to Colin, who had suddenly woken up? There was no question that something had changed between them, even if he couldn't see it. Amy was sure that she had feelings for Ephram, whether it was love or a silly crush, there were feelings. She had hoped that after everything had settled down she would be able to sort her feelings out. That would have to be in awhile
The fact remained, though, that she was still Colin's girlfriend, and for now it would remain that way. He needed her support right now and she would give it to him. Whatever he needed, she would help him the best she could.
It felt horrible that she was betraying both Ephram and Colin. Ephram had no idea of these feelings, since she hadn't acted on them, and since she had told him to back off, Amy thought that he had surely given up on her. She was lying to him, to both of them.
But what else could she do? At this moment, she was stuck. And she couldn't talk about it. She had sworn to herself that she wouldn't utter a word about any of this to anyone. It just wouldn't be right. So she'd keep all of this to herself.
Once she got to Colin's room, she stood outside the door. Colin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, were inside and they were talking with him. She didn't want to interrupt their conversation, so she decided to wait until they were finished.
"…we better be going, dear." Amy heard Mrs. Hart say to Colin.
"Are you sure you feel alright?" Colin's father asked.
"Yeah Dad, I'm okay." his son replied, sounding very tired, "Can you find Amy? I want to make sure she's alright, I know how hard this has been on her."
Outside in the hallway, Amy winced. His concern for her was touching but hurtful at the same time.
The guilt ate away at her.
