-True Confessions-

Chapter 1- The Truth Comes Out

Ephram leaned over and picked up the piece of paper on the floor. He could see Amy from the corner of his eye….she was staring at him again. *damn will Amy ever stop staring at me it makes me want her even more* Ephram thought to himself. He walked over to her and sat down.

With a smile Amy started up a conversation.

"Hi Ephram."

"Hey Amy." "What's new?"

"Not to much just hanging around the cafeteria until my next class."

"Yeah me too."

"So Amy how's Colin?"

"He's fine…but me and him got in a fight about you yesterday."

"About ME?" "What happened?"

"Well he was mad about me dancing with you and…I told him that it was my turn to be there for you." "He went off on me, telling me never to come back." "So I'm not."

"But why Amy?"

"Because I love somebody else."

**********************************************************************************

As soon as Amy got home she turned on the radio. Michelle Branch's new song was on. Amy sang to the lyrics.

"Can you look me in the eye, and tell me that you happy now?"

She immediately thought of Ephram.

He's so sexy…in this weird kinda way. I love him so much I wish I could tell him…I was going to at lunch but I got scared…I love him…

The door distracted Amy's thoughts and she jumped and shut her music off.

"Amy honey?"

"What mom!?"

"Come downstairs for supper!"

"Coming!"

***********************************************************************************

Ephram slammed his locker on that cold winter December afternoon. Christmas was 2 weeks away. He had thought about getting Amy a gift, like a necklace, or maybe a kiss or something, it was so hard for him. He turned his music on and as the lyrics went through his head he thought of Amy.

"These arms remain stretched out to you

maybe someday you'll accept them

maybe its too late to save a young girls heart that slowly stopped beating

(maybe)

wake up wake up you've gotta believe

wake up wake up

you cant give up time keeps going on without us

long after we're dead and gone

I wish there was something i could say

to erase each and every page

you've been through

even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but cant accept this thank you note

that's sealed with your last breath

and I won't stand aside

and listen to you give up

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

just hold on/ just hold on

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

just hold on/ just hold on"

Ephram then bumped into Amy. She fell on the ground and he fell on top of her. Everyone around stared. Ephram just sat there on Amy. Amy sat there staring in his beautiful, green eyes.
