Amy went back to her grandma's house. She only wished she could tell Ephram
the truth. She went into the house and was about to go upstairs when Edna
appeared.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"I was taking a walk." Amy replied. She just wanted to go upstairs.
"Alright," Edna answered. She didn't want to push anymore than she had too.
Amy raced up to her room and laid on her bed. She clutched her stuffed Grover, pressing her face into the faded blue fur. Soon she fell asleep, her hands were still clutching the doll. Amy slept for an hour, dreaming of a life with Ephram. Amy awoke unhappy to be coming back to face reality. Ephram was still on her mind. Maybe she should call him, tell him her thoughts. Amy sat in her bed staring at the phone for five minutes, contemplating whether or not to call Ephram. Finally, Amy picked up the phone, dialing Ephram's number.
"Hello?" Madison said picking up the phone.
Amy was hoping Ephram would pick up. "Um. is Ephram there?" Amy said nervously.
"Hold on Amy, I'll get him for you," Madison said. Madison was getting annoyed that this Amy girl suddenly started hanging around Ephram. Madison knew that Ephram had been in love with Amy and she was afraid he would start again. Madison had to keep telling herself not to worry. Ephram and Amy are just friends, good friends. Ephram is just helping Amy. Still thoughts of losing Ephram went through her head. The thoughts of losing him sent chills through Madison's spine. Madison quickly remembered that Amy was still waiting on the phone. Madison ran upstairs and gave Ephram the phone. "Here it's for you, it's Amy," Madison said tossing the phone onto his bed.
Ephram grabbed the phone and said hello. "Hi Ephram," Amy said, "What took so long?" "Madison had to find me," Ephram explained, "So what's up?" "Um. Tommy and I." Amy said, and then she froze, swallowing the lump in her throat. Amy had lost her nerve to tell Ephram what happened again. "Tommy what?" asked Ephram. He was confused. Amy wanted to tell him something important but what? It was always like this between them. Amy would have something to say but never tell him how she felt. "Nothing, I got to go," Amy replied quickly, "bye." Amy hung up the phone. She couldn't tell him, not now anyway. Just as Amy hung up the phone, it rang again. It was probably Ephram calling her back. She picked up the phone. "Hello Ephram, I can't talk now," Amy said, sobbing. "Amy?" Tommy said, "This is Tommy." "You want to spend the night tonight" Tommy asked, "This morning was great." "I can't ever," Amy yelled. She hung up the phone. By now Amy was in tears again. Tommy didn't even see that she was upset. Amy had no one to confide in. Suddenly she thought of someone. She could call Bright, he would understand. Bright and Amy weren't really on speaking terms but maybe he would understand. Amy picked up the phone again and dialed her house number. It was weird to be calling her own house.
"Hello?" Bright said.
"It's me Amy," she said. She was so glad the Bright picked up the phone.
"Nice of you to call," He answered sarcastically.
"Bright, can you stop it, I need to talk to you about something," Amy explained. Bright could sense the urgency in Amy's voice. "Ok, shoot," Bright said, "he was glad that Amy would come to him for help."
"When I tell you promise you won't yell," She claimed.
"Ok," Bright said. This really worried him.
"It's about Tommy," Amy explained, "I slept with him." Amy was so glad to finally have gotten that out. A burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
"Well, what is the big deal?" Bright asked, "You're pregnant?"
"No, I slept with him so I could forget about how I like Ephram," Amy replied, Now Tommy wants more and I don't." "Amy! Why? What are you going to do?" Bright asked. "I don't know," Amy said. She had started to cry again. Bright could hear Amy sobbing. "It's okay, ill help you," Bright explained, hoping she could stop crying. "First thing you need to do is tell Tommy," Bright said, "I'll come with you for that." "I tried to tell Ephram, but couldn't," Amy explained, "Now he knows something is up." "You need to tell him too," Bright said, "You have to do that on your own." "Thanks Bright," Amy said. "That's what brothers are for," he answered, "Now only if you would come home, I miss you." "Don't worry Bright, that day is coming soon," Amy explained, I have to settle this first." "I'll be over soon and we can go talk to Tommy," Bright said. "Okay, see ya," Amy said. She hung up the phone. For the first time today she smiled. It looked like everything was going to be okay.
About fifteen minutes later Bright arrived. Amy was so happy to see him. She ran up and gave him a huge hug. "We better get going," Bright said. "Where to sergeant?" Edna asked, coming into the room. "Amy and I are going to have some sibling bonding time," Bright answered. Edna gave Bright a hug and let them leave.
Amy walked outside and saw that Bright was driving Amy's car. "Hey, that's my car," Amy exclaimed. "Yea not now, I'm driving it," Bright said. "You better now hurt it," Amy yelled. "I won't," Bright said, laughing. Amy and Bright got into Amy's car and drove to Tommy's house. "Here we are," Bright announced. They went up to the door and knocked. Tommy answered. "Hey Amy, come for some more fun?" Tommy asked. Tommy's eyes glanced over at Bright. He hadn't seen him at first. "Oh, well what do you want?" Tommy asked. "It's over," Amy said. "What?" I thought.Tommy responded, "Is it that Ephram kid?" "No," Amy said, "it's just over." "Did Bright put you up to this?" Tommy asked. "Hey you heard the girl, she said it is over!" Bright exclaimed. Tommy slammed the door in there face. He was hurt. He thought Amy and him had something special. He actually thought he had a chance with her.
"That was easy," Amy replied. "Yea, not too bad," Bright said as they got back into the car.
"How about we go get something to eat?" Bright asked. Okay, but what about Ephram?" Amy asked. "You have to tell him yourself," Bright replied. "Oh," she said. She had already tried twice and failed. "You can do it," Bright said. The two went off to the diner to get some food.
"I was taking a walk." Amy replied. She just wanted to go upstairs.
"Alright," Edna answered. She didn't want to push anymore than she had too.
