"So Amy what exactly landed you in this hospital bed?" asked Ephram curiously. He really wanted to know all the details.

"I passed out last night after I woke up from a nightmare," Amy explained, "the last thing I remember was sitting up in my bed,"

"I haven't been eating very much since Colin died," Amy said.

"Amy, why didn't you get help sooner?" asked Ephram.

"My dad kept telling me I would get over it eventually," Amy explained, "I guess I started to believe him."

"Did the doctors see the cuts on your arms?" asked Ephram. He had hoped that Amy wasn't holding anything back from the doctors. She needed to get better.

"Yes," Amy replied ashamed of herself, "Now they think I'm psycho."

Tears started forming in Amy's eyes. She wanted this all to be over. She wanted to be normal again. Ephram leaned over and gave Amy a hug. "Everything is going to be okay," replied Ephram reassuringly. Amy felt better already. She forgot how good it felt to be in Ephram's arms.

Madison walked in again. She had left Ephram and Amy alone because she knew Amy didn't want her there.

"Are you ready to go Ephram?" asked Madison. Madison felt really uncomfortable here. She was only here to support Ephram.

Ephram sensed that Madison was uncomfortable and got up to leave.

"Amy get better and I hope you get out of here soon," said Ephram as he was leaving, "If you need to talk just call."

Ephram and Madison walked out of the hospital. The fresh air cleansed the hospital smell from their senses. The sun was out and the weather was beautiful.

"Thanks for coming with me Madison," said Ephram smiling. "That's what girlfriends are for," Madison replied, "and for this too" Madison pulled Ephram closer and wrapped her hands around his head and softy kissed him "What was that for?" Ephram asked, sinfully. "For you, but mostly for me," Madison replied laughing. Ephram leaned in and gave Madison another long kiss.

Back up in Amy's room Amy was looking at the window. There right before her eyes were Madison and Ephram making out. Amy remembered when she and Colin used to do things like that. Now more than anything she wished that she had someone to love her, someone like Ephram.

"So Madison what do you want to do now?" asked Ephram, "the day is young."

"Can you drive me back to my house?" asked Madison, "I would like to change into a clean outfit." "You look beautiful to me," said Ephram. "Sure ill take you home," Ephram answered, but only if you promise to leave with me."

"You are such a charmer Ephram," Madison answered. "Thanks, I try," he said.

Once they got to Madison's house Madison and Ephram so Madison could change.

"Ephram!" Madison yelled from her bedroom, "there is a huge spider in here, kill it for me!"

Ephram hurried into Madison's room and noticed the tiny spider crawling around on the floor. HE also noticed that Madison was in her bra and had no shirt on. "Here," Madison said as she handed Ephram her shoe. Ephram quickly killed the spider. "God I hate spiders," Madison said.

"Thanks for saving me," Madison giggled. "Anytime," Ephram laughed. "You do realize that spider wasn't even big enough to bite you," Ephram said. "I wasn't scared," Madison replied.

"Um.you do realize you don't have a shirt on?" Ephram asked.

Madison looked down and her face turned beet red. "Sorry I got a little caught up in the spider problem," Madison replied. "You do look pretty sexy standing there though." Ephram replied. "Haven't you seen a bra before?" asked Madison. "Yea but not on you," replied Ephram. Madison reached over and kissed Ephram on the cheek and quickly put her shirt on.
