She sat out in the cold, rain falling on her jumper, the wind whirling the branches of nearby trees, tears strolled down her cheeks, she gripped her arms and let them fall. She didn't know what to do, why was life so hard, is it apart of growing up or is it just her. A year ago today she knew what she wanted from life, she had Colin, she was happy. All day she hadn't said more then two words. No-one seemed to care, they just thought it was apart of her new personality, "her new yet old depressed personality". Amy wasn't crying over Colin this time. She was crying over what she had just done.
(Flashback)
The wind was blowing hard as snow turned into rain Amy stared directly forward. She gripped the bar like it was her lifesaver and climbed on the log. Balancing herself she felt all her years rush back to her, all the little things. All the little memories. Rushing back to her. Her mother. Her father. Bright. Tommy. Edna. Irv. Laynie. Ephram. Delia. Dr Brown. And Thalia. So many people in her life cared about what she was going through. Because they had gone through it aswell. Laynie lost Colin. Bright lost Colin. Ephram lost his mom, Thalia lost her brother. Everyone she knows has lost at least one person in there life. and here she is standing on the bridge ready to jump, to cause more pain to all these people that have stuck by her through thick and thin. It might cure her pain, but it will cause them even more pain. She jumped down as fast as she could. Grabbing her school bag she ran. As fast as her legs could take her. Ripping the door open she slammed it, started the engine and drove. Past the forest. Past the school. Past Everwood. She didn't know where she was going, she just drove. All day. Ending up at Denver Hospital.

"He was so traumatic after her death that I was so worried he wouldn't recover, they were very close, kinda like Davie and You."
Thalia was sitting in Dr Brown's office, she felt a chill down her spine but continued listening to Andy. He was talking about Ephram, well he was comparing her situation with what Ephram had to go through, after his mother died. He must of got lost in his thoughts because he had been babbling on about almost every little detail that caused him emotionally pain. Thalia didn't mind, she liked hearing other peoples problems, made her feel like she's not the only one who wakes up every day wishing it'll all just subside, it made her feel better that someone else was going through the same stuff she was, not trying to sound conceited, but if she keeped that thought in her head she could get up and walk around like any normal person, just a little more smarter.
"......Sometimes I worry about him because he carries around so much resentment. I try give him time but, I don't know what else to do, he only talks to me when he needs advice that no-one else can give him, he doesn't let me make up for my mistakes...I'm sorry this is your session not mine" Dr Brown said frowning.
"It's alright, I think we can help each-other, your right about Ephram. He tries to hold in too much thats why he sometimes drags you under, and you lose patience with him, I have once or twice.....no offense Dr Brown but can we cut this session short, I'm not feeling too well?"
Dr Brown got serious. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a stomach ache or something, nothing overly dramatic" Thalia lied. Lately she felt a pain in her stomach that would come after every meal. She didn't want to make a big deal of it until she knew for sure what it was, it could just be a tummy bug. Dr Brown waited for Nina with her. He noticed she would blank out for a second and then start falling down slowly before she caught herself, like she was drunk. When Nina drove up and They all saud there goodbyes, Andy made a mental note to talk to Nina about it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It had been exactly a year since Colin woke up. Nobody in Everwood seems phazed by today. Bright seemed a little unusually but that's only because today is his first real date with Thalia and he wanted to make it perfect.
Still, it seems like she is the only one stuck in a dark hole. Like she's the only one feeling haunted. Her thoughts are full of strangers. She has never felt this way before. Not even when her pet fish died when she was 6 and she loved that fish more then she loved anyone on the face of the earth.
It seemed she was getting better. She was glad Ephram was back in her life and glad Thalia was here in Everwood. Just knowing they both ahve been throughw hat she's going through and survived it. Brings hope to her world.
I recently readded this story so please review.
