Chapter 4 - Simon
By the end of that night, Amy felt better. She wondered why Ephram hadn't come over to check on her like he promised. She was so embarrassed. How could she have lost control in front of him? She threw a vase! She drank in front of someone! These were activities that she never wanted anyone to see. Maybe he was angry with her.
"I threw myself at him last night." She said out loud to herself, "I begged him to be with me. I wouldn't be surprised if he never wanted to see me again."

"Catch your breath hit the wall
Scream out loud as you start to crawl
Back in your cage the only place
Where they will leave you alone
Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Til they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same
Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same" ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````
Looking at herself in the mirror she wondered how she had become such a mess. On the outside she looked happy, normal. Inside she was screaming and crying. Now Ephram had seen her falling to pieces. She picked up the phone, planning on calling him. She couldn't stand herself, she needed someone to make her feel better. She dialed.
"Hello?"
"Ephram. It's Amy. I need to talk to you about yesterday. Can you come over?"
"Sure, just give me a minute." He was over in less than 10 minutes. When she opened the door he was standing there with a concerned look on his face.
"God, Ephram, you look so worn out. I know you didn't get any sleep last night."
"Don't worry about it. How are you feeling?"
"Embarrassed, about last night. What you saw." she stopped, noticing her dad standing behind her looking angry.
"Come on Amy, we'll go to my house."
When they got there she continued, "What you saw, me drinking, throwing things.I've been having problems lately. Big problems."
"You mean this has happened before? Amy, you can't let this go." She collapsed into his arms in tears. It seemed as if every time were together she ended up crying. He pulled her into an embrace, rocking her back and forth. "Amy, I'll get you help."
"No, Ephram they'll take me away. They'll send me to a rehab center. My dad won't give me pills for my depression, everyone thinks I'm okay with Colin dying."
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````
"Locked inside the only place
Where you feel sheltered where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search
To find something else to hide behind
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
Breaking them til they've become just another crown
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same"
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

"Listen to me," he said lifting her head so they were at eye level. "Listen, okay? I need you around, for a long time." She was sniffling now.
"I can promise you that, as long as you promise not to tell my parents about my drinking problem."
"You can't promise me that you'll be around for a long time if you don't get help, Amy. Now I am sorry, but I have to tell someone." She hugged him tightly.
"Please, no. I can't lose you. I will if I go away." She said. He wrapped his arms around her. Holding her was all he wanted to do. If he didn't feel like she really needed help with her depression, he would've done anything to stay with her. They stayed in the embrace for a very long time. He could feel her hot breath on his neck and held her more tightly. Amy moved her lips to Ephram's neck and began kissing it. He didn't pull away, this was his dream. He pulled away after a few minutes and said,
"If you care about me, you'll do this for me." He said.
"If I go you'll find someone else to care about; someone who hasn't wasted your time."
"You'll do this for me.Amy, you'll do this for yourself" he repeated.
She agreed, reluctantly. The next day her parents had found a clinic for depression and she was packed and gone. Ephram never got to say goodbye. She was gone, just like that. He didn't know how long he could make it before he snapped. He longed for her the second she was gone. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `
Refuse to feel, anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back cause no one will
You don't know why they had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars for your only company
Don't believe the lies that they have told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright
You're alright
You're alright
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same"
A/N: Chapter 4 was a bit shorter because I figured A/E fans wouldn't be pleased with a long drawn out goodbye! There's more to come! Keep reading and reviewing!
