That night Amy was lounging in her room. She was thinking about how grateful she was that things with Ephram were getting better. It was like they picked up where they left off, except for Madison. Ephram still had that way of making light of a situation and making her feel better. Their friendship was getting stronger, instead of fading away. Amy just couldn't wait until she could have him as her boyfriend. That night Amy went to sleep dreaming of a perfect life. She could see herself laughing and smiling around everyone that she loved most. Amy woke up to next morning ready to face the challenges of the day. She was hoping to maybe speak to her parents about an agreement that evening. As much as she loved her grandparents, walking in on them in the act was the last straw.

That afternoon, after school when Amy arrived at Edna's she saw a car parked out front. Getting closer she recognized the beat up Camaro, it was Tommy's. What was Tommy doing there? The thought worried her. They had broken up a week ago, he seemed to have understood that. Maybe it was nothing, maybe she was getting too worked up about it. Amy opened the front door. She spotted Tommy sitting on the couch. "Hi Tommy," Amy said, "What. are you doing here?" "Your Grandma let me in," Tommy said. "I want you back," he explained, "you're the only one that understands me." "We broke up, there is no more "us," Amy said frowning. "Now, you have to leave," Amy demanded. She just wanted him out. "Amy, just listen to me," Tommy said, he got up and grabbed her wrists. She could see the rage in his eyes. It terrified her. "Tommy, stop!" Amy cried, "Now leave!" "What is going on here?" Edna said entering the room. Amy was in tears. She had thought that this was over. "Get your hands off my granddaughter!" She yelled. Tommy let go of Amy.

"You know your making a big mistake," Tommy said as he was leaving. Amy slammed the door after he left and fell into Edna's arms crying, burying her head into Edna's shoulder.
