Amy knocks on Colin's door.
Colin: "Come in."
Amy: (to herself) "Stay calm."
Colin tries to get up.
Amy: "No, don't. You just had surgery."
Colin: "Ok. Are you ok?"
Amy: (laughs) "I should be asking you the same thing. Brain surgery for the second time probably isn't easy. How are you feeling?"
Colin: "Good. My parents were in here earlier. They said Laynie was flying in from boarding school.
Amy: "It'll be so great to see her again."
Colin: "I'm getting the feeling that something's wrong."
Amy: "No, uh. Don't worry about me. I think I'm going to go out. I'm hogging up all of your visiting hours."
Colin: "Alright. You should probably get some sleep."
Colin kissed Amy lightly. Amy walked out into the waiting room to find all of the Harts, including Laynie sitting there. Laynie was sitting next to Ephram.
Laynie: "-I thought so but he-"
Mrs. Hart: "Laynie, let's go in."
Laynie got up from her chair.
Laynie: "We didn't want to interrupt anything between you and Colin."
Amy: "Oh, we didn't really do or say anything. Can I talk to you after you're done in Colin's room?"
Laynie: "Sure."
Amy sat down in the chair, which was once occupied by Laynie.
Ephram: "You're not going to tell her are you?"
Amy: "I think so."
Ephram: "Did you say anything to Colin?"
Amy: "Not yet."
As time passed, Amy got tired and fell asleep on Ephram's shoulder.
Ephram: (shakes Amy awake) "Amy."
Amy: "What?"
Ephram: "Laynie, you said you wanted to talk to her."
Amy: "Right."
Amy stood up and found Laynie standing there, waiting for her.
Laynie: "You wanted to talk to me?"
Amy glances at Ephram for a quick second but he isn't playing attention to her.
Amy: "Can we talk somewhere in private?"
Laynie stared at Amy awkwardly.
Laynie: "Ok."
Laynie and Amy walked into a quiet, deserted hallway of the hospital.
Laynie: "Did you break up with Colin or something?"
Amy: "No. It's - I - Ephram told me what you told him."
Laynie looks at Amy in a confused way.
Amy: "About Colin - how he wanted-"
Laynie: "To break up with you?"
Amy: "Yeah, but don't-"
Laynie: (laughs) "You know what's funny about that? He didn't want me to tell you when I told him that. He freaked out. Kinda."
Amy: "You never told me. You thought I didn't deserve to know?"
Laynie: (sighs) "It's not that. It - it was so hard for me when that truck flipped over and I know it was hard for you too. I knew that after what happened Colin, he wouldn't be the same. I didn't think it'd matter much if I told you or not."
Amy: "Laynie, I wanted to break up with him. I knew he didn't love me the way I loved him. I decided it was all for the best. But when I found out he was in a coma, I felt guilty. I felt obligated-"
Laynie: "Please don't break up with him. He's already been through enough."
Amy: "I have to do what's right."
A/N: I know this chapter wasn't the best, but I had a bit of writer's block and didn't have many ideas for this chapter. The others will be better I promise. Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up, I wrote it a long time ago but I never found the time to type it up. Thanks for the reviews!
