Title: Case of the Ex
A/N: This is a decently old story that takes place fairly early in the season. Colin hasn't woken up yet so don't think that I'm an idiot for writing about it.
Chapter 5: Amy's confession and he's BAAAACK
Amy walked back into the hospital room to find Ephram holding the letter tightly against his chest. When he saw that someone had entered, he looked up at her, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
"She's gone." He said in a voice barely above a whisper.
Amy didn't understand why this had affected Ephram so much. When he first saw the other girl, he was in such a hurry to get away from here. Now he looked as though he couldn't get on with his life without her.
"Ephram, what's your deal? Don't you hate this girl?"
"I did. I mean- I do. It's just..we used to be really close, you know? I just miss her a lot."
An awkward silence hung in the air.
"Ephram-" Amy started at the same time as Ephram said, "Amy-"
"No Ephram let me talk. You really scared me today. I haven't been this scared for anyone since, well Colin." Her eyes started to fill with tears. "Ephram, I think I'm in love with you."
Ephram looked at her, with hope in his eyes. This was the moment that he had been waiting for. He had wanted so long for her to tell him that. But now he realized something. "Amy. C'mon. You and I both know that you are still in love with Colin. I think that you fell in love with me. I'm just here. I don't appreciate that. I don't appreciate being a replacement. You will never love me."
"Ephram, I really think I do."
Ephram closed his eyes, as if gathering his strength." Amy, think about it. You know it's true."
"Ephram, I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd act this way. I thought that if I told you how I felt you would feel the same way." Amy's eyes began to fill with tears again.
"Amy, you really don't feel that way about me. I told you I'm just here. Will you please leave now?"
Amy's face grew shocked. "What?"
"I want you out of here. Now. I think it's best if we just don't talk anymore."
Amy looked at Ephram, anger in her eyes. "Fine. Be like that." she said, as she stormed out of the room.
I shouldn't have told him. I just ruined everything with him! Amy thought. She was walking around in a daze.
"Amy?" She heard someone say. She turned around and saw Dr. Brown, staring at her with concern.
"Are you okay Amy?" he said again.
"No, not so much Doctor Brown." She replied.
"Well, what happened? Is Ephram okay?"
Amy grew angry. "Ephram's fine. But I'm sure he can tell you what he did." She stormed away.
Dr. Brown walked into Ephram's room, "Ephram, what happened to Amy."
"Nothing."
"Well she just stormed out of her pretty angry."
"She's just delusional."
"Ephram, just tell me what happened please."
"She told me that she was in love with me. I told her that she was still in love with Colin and just thought she did. And she got all upset even though she knows its true."
"Maybe it IS true."
"I doubt it."
Conversation over. The father and son just sat there, father concerned, son angry.
~*~*~*~*
Elsewhere in the very same hospital, a boy awoke from a deep slumber. Though at first a bit overwhelmed, he cried out the first thing that came to mind, "Amy."
A/N: Yes, my sorry attempt at a cliffhanger. I don't know. I'll try to have the next chapter up ASAP. Please R/R.
