Madison pulled into the Harper's driveway. It was only around nine, but she had promised Edna and Irv she would be back by seven.

Amy turned towards her new friend. "I'll call you later tonight about when to leave tomorrow, okay? I just have to talk to my grandparents and...parents, I think." Madison simply nodded and waved goodbye. Madison was in complete shock. How could this have happened? He was completely fine all day. All weekend. This had to be a dream – no, nightmare.

Amy rang the doorbell, and Edna opened it. She was about to lecture her on missing her curfew, when she saw her puffy eyes and tear-streaked face. Amy started sobbing and ran into her grandma's arms.

"Sssh. Honey, its alright. It's alright." Edna wasn't used to being affectionate, yet she rubbed Amy's back all the same.

"No! No! It's not alright!" Amy choked in between sobs.

"What happened Ams?"

"Ephram is in the hospital. He had a seizure and he has a brain tumor." Amy was crying so hard she was hiccupping. "Grandma? I need to go home." ********

Amy rang the doorbell and ran into Bright's arms. "Dude. What's with all the...hey! we aren't talking! Get out and off me!"

Amy proceeded to sob. "Bright shut up. Ephram's hurt. He had a seizure and he has a brain tumor. And...and...and..." Bright hugged Amy back.

She pulled away as he asked her the details. She had none.
