Amy and Ephram were sitting on the bench in the hallway. Everyone else was
at lunch so the hallway was dead silent.
"Amy, how could you do this?" Ephram asked. "How could you be so stupid?"
The sound of Ephram's voice rang through the hallway.
"I love you Ephram," Amy explained, "I was just too stubborn to realize it
earlier."
Amy was in tears. She had waited so long to tell Ephram that she did love
him. It looked as if now it was too late.
"You have a weird way of showing that you love me," He said, "I mean
sleeping with a guy?"
"I know it was stupid," She said. Amy was just hoping for a second chance.
She could sense that Ephram felt the same.
"You know, you're a little late," Ephram exclaimed, "I'm with Madison now
and I am actually happy."
Ephram loved Amy too but he wasn't going to take her back that easily. Amy
needed a friend right now more than a boyfriend. He was willing to be there
for her.
"I'll always be there for you when you need me," Ephram said.
Ephram leaned in and gave Amy a hug. It felt good to have his arms around
her again.
"How about we go to lunch, I'm starving," Ephram suggested, changing the subject. "Ok, I'm kind of hungry too," Amy answered. She was glad that she and Ephram were good friends again. Although, Amy was disappointed that he had Madison and she was single.
Ephram got up from the bench and walked with Amy to lunch. Maybe now things were taking a turn for the better.
When they got in the lunchroom Amy went and found Bright while Ephram got some food for the two of them. "So how did it go with Ephram?" Bright asked as Amy took a seat. "Good," Amy replied, "We are on speaking terms again." "I just wanted to be more than friends," Amy replied. "You have to give it time Amy," Bright said, "Let him have some fun with the hot college chick." "Name's Madison," Ephram said laughing, after setting down the food.
"Sweet, you got me a grilled cheese with pickles," Amy exclaimed, "you remembered." "Yea, you only used to eat those everyday," Ephram said, "How could I forget." "They are so nasty," Bright added. "Not as nasty as your pizza and ranch dressing," Amy chimed in. "That's good!" Bright claimed. "No Bright, that is nasty," Ephram said. All three of them started laughing.
The rest of the day went really smooth. Amy and Ephram were talking and laughing like old times. It was as if a spark had been turned on in Amy. She was livelier and less depressed. Something about Ephram made her feel like everything would be alright.
That afternoon Ephram was sitting watching television. "Hey Ephram," Madison said, draping her arms around his neck. "Hi, How are you?" he asked. "Okay, class was really boring," she replied. She had left class in a hurry to see Ephram. She always looked forward to spending time with him. Ephram turned around and kissed her. "My day was actually pretty good," Ephram said, pulling away. "Amy is talking to me again," he added. "What got into her?" Madison said laughing. "Ha, Ha, she broke up with her boyfriend," Ephram explained. "She is happy about that?" Madison asked. "She didn't love him," he added, "long story." Ephram didn't want to go into detail about how Amy loved him, which was the worst thing he could do. It didn't matter anyway because he loved Madison he reminded himself. He was happy. "Teenage love, one of life's little mysteries," Madison said, laughing. Ephram got up and kissed Madison again, letting all his thoughts fade.
Amy went back to Edna's that afternoon, really happy. There was a chance, a slight chance, she could win back Ephram's heart. Now all she had to do was form a truce with her parents. That unfortunately wasn't going to be that easy. At least she had Bright on her side. Luckily Tommy wouldn't be an issue anymore. Amy laid on to her bed and turned on the stereo. She put her mind at ease as the notes to 3 Door's Down, "Here Without You," flowed thru her ears. The song reminded her of Colin. She was there on earth, without him. That song always brought tears to her eyes but then, the only tears forming were tears of joy. She knew Colin would be proud of her for moving on. That is what he would have wanted. Colin liked Ephram, and now more than ever she loved him too.
