Madison was being hit by Matthew.

The door was locked but Ephram remembered how Madison always kept a spare key under her flower pot. Ephram scrambled quickly trying to find the key and finally did. he unlocked the door and ran in, furious at what Matthew was doing to Madison.

Matthew had Madison an the ground. He was hitting(or punching, whichever you prefer)her on the back and at the same time, yelling things that, well, Ephram wasn't paying much attention to.

Madison(trying to get off the floor): STOP MATTHEW!! YOU'RE HURTING ME!!STOPPP! HELP!!!

Ephram ran up to Matthew and tried to pull him off of Madison. He was surprised at how strong Matthew was.

Matthew: Hey, what are you doing man?

Ephram realized that Matthew was drunk.

While Ephram distracted him, Madison managed to get away and find her cell phone. She called the police.

Madison: Hello? Yes this is an emergancy. No I can't hold.

Lady on phone: What's your address? I'll send someone.

Madison: 9444 strathmore ln. boulder.

Madison had barely said those words when Madison was hit again.

Ephram quickly ran over again and punched Matthew in the face with strength he never knew he had. Matthew was unconcious.

Ephram: That'll teach you to mess with me.

Ephram ran over to Madison who was almost unconcious. He held her in his arms as if she were the only person left in the world. Sirens sounded in the distance and Ephram knew everything was going to be okay.

Ephram: It's gonna' be okay Madison. I know it is. It's going to be okay.

Ephram knew Madison wanted to say something, but she couldn't. She was in too much pain. By then, she had bruises all the way up her back and on her face. Her lip was slightly bleeding, and her arm was broken. Ephram went to open the door for the policeman in.

Policeman: Is everything okay here?

Ephram: Now it is. We need an ambulance.

The policeman called an ambulance . It came about 5 minutes later and Ephram helped get Madison in it.

Paramedic: We need to get you checked out too.

Ephram(limping to the bench so he could sit down): I'm fine. Really.

Paramedic: It doesn't matter. We really do need to. It is what we have to do.

Ephram: Okay, if you have too.

Ephram too, climbed into the ambulance.

They went to the same hospital that AAmy's father was in. Amy was at the vending machine near the ambulane entrance when Ephram and Madison's ambulance pulled up.

Amy saw who was coming out of the ambulance and she dropped her candy and ran to the ambulance.

Amy: Oh my gosh!

Paramedic: Miss, you need to step out of the way please.

Amy: Please, let me help. Let me go in with them, please.

Paramedic(thinking Amy was crazy. he did not know Amy knew either one of them):I am sorry, but you are not a nurse or doctor.

Amy: You don't understand. Ephram is my boyfriend.

Paramedic: Okay, you can go in with them.

Amy followed the paramedic to where Ephram and Madison were. As soon as Amy walked in to the room, Ephram tryed to get away from the doctor examining him to go over to her.

Doctor: Please stay put or we'll never get this over with.

Ephram: I'm fine. I already told you that.

Doctor: Just hold on 1 minute.

Amy couldn't bring herself to say anything. She saw that Ephram had a huge bruise on his cheek and eye.

Ephram(sarcastically): Hold on 1 minute Amy.

Ephram counted to 30 before the doctor was done examining him.

Doctor: We need to treat that bruise and you need to stay here until your foot feels better but besides that, you are fine.

Ephram: Thank you.

Ephram limped over to Amy and gave her a kiss.

Doctor: I'll leave you three alone.

Ephram: Haha, very funny. Thank you again.

Doctor: No problem. now you get you're rest. I'll bring you guys some water.

Ephram: Okay.

The doctor left the room.

Amy: Ephram, what happened, are you okay? Is Madison okay?

Ephram: I'm fine.

Ephram walked over to Madison's bedside.

Ephram: Madison'll be alright, I hope.

She has a broken arm, bruises all over her back and face and a bloody nose and lip.

Amy walked over to her bedside and gave Ephram a hug. Ephram took her in his arms.

Amy: What happened?

Ephram: I was walking up to Madison's house and I saw her new boyfriend beating her up. I found her spare key, opened the door, and tried to pull him off. She got away long enough and I guess she called the police, I wan't really paying attention to what she was doing I just wanted to keep him off. Well he started again and, with strength I never knew I had, I punched him in the face and knocked him out. He is in the room next door.

Amy: You saved her life Ephram. I'm proud of you.

Ephram: Thanks.

As soon as Ephram said thanks, the door slammed open and Matthew came in.

Matthew: You!!

Matthew hurled himself at Ephram.

Ephram: Amy! Go get the doctor!FAST!!HURRY!!

As soon as he said that, Matthew tries to tackle Amy. He managed to grab her legs and trip her.

Matthew: Oh no you don't.

Ephram jumped on Matthew and in fury, he pulled him off of Amy and socked him in the face again.

Ephram(continuing to punch him rapidly): You...do...not...touch...her!!!!

The doctor and some nurses soon rushing in and pulled Ephram away from Matthew.

Security came and took him away.

Matthew: You'll be hearing from me!

Amy ran over to Ephram and he held her for several minutes.

Ephram: You okay, Aims?

Amy(crying): Yeah, i'm fine. You saved me Ephram. You saved me from being hurt. Thank you.

Ephram: I wasn't just going to let you get hurt. I love you Amy.

Amy: I love you too.

Ephram walked Amy back to her dad's room and then called his dad to tell him he would probably be a little longer. He didn't tell him what had happened because then his dad would know that he went to see Madison.
