After a long, 2-hour drive, Ephram arrived at the hospital. As he stepped
out of his car, he remembered the last time he was here, to wait with Amy
while her boyfriend Colin had surgery. As he passed through the entrance
and made his way to the elevator, he wondered what he was doing here. Just
like last time, Amy already has a boyfriend and was there supporting him.
Why do I let her use me like this? Before Ephram could ponder his thoughts
any more, he saw Amy. Amy looked exhausted like she had been up all night
and dried tears stained her face. In one hand, she held a cup of coffee,
while she used the other to wave to Ephram. Like a poor dog, he ran over,
embraced her in a friendly hug and sat down besides her.
Amy: "Ephram you're here, thank you so much for coming. I didn't know who to call, I mean my mother practically hates me, Lanie and I aren't speaking, all my other friends have pretty much steered clear of me and my grandma isn't the type of person to handle these situations." Amy took a deep breath after she finished her rant and looked deep into Ephram eyes, searching for the comfort that she knew only he could provide. Ephram: "Amy, relax. I'm here now, you're not alone anymore. So what happened?"
Amy struggled to find a way to tell Ephram the truth without appearing to be a crazy, immature girl. "Well, Tommy and I went to this party and we both did some drugs. I thought it would help me to escape from my life, make me feel happy and normal again, so I did it. Tommy had some first, I wasn't with him, so I didn't know that he took too much. The next thing I knew, he was unconscious and had stopped breathing." Ephram interrupted her because he was deeply concerned," Wait Amy, let my get this straight, you did drugs? Amy you're smarter than that, did Tommy make you?" Ephram's blood started to boil at the thought of Tommy forcing Amy into his drug world Amy: "Ephram, trust me, I'm fine and I know how stupid it was. I mean look where it caused Tommy to end up? I called my Dad who drove him here in the middle of the night and the doctors have not left the operating room since. I wonder what's wrong with him." With that Amy started to cry," I know this may sound selfish, but I just hope he doesn't die, I don't think I can deal with losing another boyfriend again." With that, Amy let her head fall on Ephram shoulder, and let all the pain out that she had been feeling last since last night. After a few minutes had passed, Ephram lifted her head and wiped the tears from her pretty face. Ephram: "Amy, you listen to me. None of this is your fault and you have every right to be upset. But, maybe this is a sign that in order to turn your life around, you need to leave Tommy and all the bad things behind." Amy looked into Ephram's eyes and could instantly feel all the emotions he felt. She loved how he could care so such about her and wished that she had enough courage to finally tell him how she felt and that the only reasons she went out with Tommy in the first place was to get her mind off of him. But he is with Madison now, Amy though, and as his friend, I have to respect that. To try to lighten the mood, Amy asked Ephram how his relationship paws going, having no idea that it was falling apart. Ephram, who never shared anything with anybody suddenly, felt that Amy would be his outlet to get everything he had been holding inside out. The friends discussed his situation at length until both exhausted teens fell asleep.
A few hours later, Amy woke up to a light tap on her back. She slowly rolled her head off of Ephram's chest, looked up and saw that it was her father, looking at her with a very serious look on his face. "Amy," he said in a concerned voice," I just got out of the operating room and..." he halted, trying to kind the kindest way to share Tommy's new condition with Amy.
