Chapter 10

"Ummm..." Connor was at a lost for words.

"Oh by the way, I'm Amy...the best friend." She said haughtily. She raised her eyebrows at him and then walked out the door of the hospital room and waited for him.

Connor shook his head...he couldn't believe that he had been caught in the bed with her. Damn...he thought to himself, her best friend must think I'm insane.

"Umm...I'm Connor...Connor Williams."

"Well nice to meet you..."Amy said extending her right hand.

Connor shook it slowly not really sure where he stood with her.

"Look...I'm not judging or anything but she's a great girl and my best friend. And just give her time...I'm not blind I can see you care a lot about her."

"I do...weird huh...I just met her and I don't know...I feel this overwhelming urge to just protect her from everything and anyone..." Connor said looking away.

"Oh...well you know she's just gotten out of a really serious relationship, and while I'd like nothing more than to kill the other half of that relationship, I know that Jeff and her...well they did have a good thing going before he screwed everything up." Amy said seriously.

"So you're saying I don't have a snowball's chance in hell?" Connor replied.

"No...didn't say that...but you're a snowball sitting on the lobby of a very warm apartment building. All you've got to do is take the elevator up and you're good...you just have to find someone to pick you up and take you to the elevator."

"Uh huh...and would you help me?" Connor asked hopefully.

"Maybe...I guess I'll..."Amy began. She was at odds...though at this moment, she couldn't stand Jeff...she still felt some loyalty towards him. But if she was to think solely of Corinne, then it may not be so bad for her to help out with Connor. After all...Jeff and Corinne were over weren't they?

"Hey...what's going on here?" Shane said when he walked in the door and noticed the tense atmosphere.

"Oh...hey Shane." Connor and Amy said simultaneously.

"Hey kids what's going on...oh my god Amy!" He said when he noticed the ring on her left hand.

"What?"

"Did you get engaged?" Shane asked lifting her hand and inspecting the ring.

"Oh...yeah...two days ago." Amy responded.

"Congratulations sweetie!" Shane said giving her a warm hug.

"Thanks..." Amy said a bit bashfully.

"Does Steph know? She'll die when she finds out."

"No...I haven't really had a chance to tell anybody? Oh shit...does Vince know that I'm here?" Amy asked worriedly.

"Yeah I called him last night...he said he was fine with it just you make sure that Corinne'll be okay."

"Phew...good!" Amy replied.

"What's going on out here?"

"Corinne!" All three said simultaneously when they saw her standing outside the hospital room door.

"Yeah...wow...I feel so weird."

"Sweetie get back in bed." Amy said quickly walking to her.

"Amy! What the hell are you doing here in London?" Corinne asked confusedly.

"Well...you gave us quite a scare hun...Shane called me."

"Oh god...I'm so sorry. Stupid of me to walk around all night huh?"

"Yeah just a bit." Shane interjected sarcastically.

"Shane...oh...I'm so sorry."

"Ah Cor...don't worry about it." Shane said.

"So I feel better now...can I go home?"

"No!" Shane said.

"What's going on here?" The doctor said when he turned the corner and found Corinne, Shane, Amy, and Connor standing outside the door.

"Doc...Corinne says she feels better." Shane said.

"Uh huh...well young lady let me just take a look at you." The doctor said and ushered Corinne back into the room.
