Chapter 2 – Words Spoken
Amy, her fellow doctor and nurses worked on Ephram for what felt like hours. But it had only taken thirty minutes to stabilize him. He was diagnosed with pneumonia from being over worked. His body was so tired that it was shutting down. Ephram was then moved to a permanent room in the ICU. Amy sat with him in shock that he was here in front of her. She didn't want it to be this way, but she had dreamed of this moment. The moment when she would finally see him again.
Then it happen! She saw his eyes start to move. "Ephram!" He heard this voice, it sounded like Amy, 'No, it can't be!,' he said to himself. "Ephram, are you awake? Please wakeup!" Then his eyes slowly started to open. The room was so bright that his vision was a bit hazy and there was someone leaning over him. It look like Amy but he wasn't sure. "A-Amy, is that, what are, where am?" He was so confused. Amy just said, "Shh, Ephram! Yes, it's me, you are in the hospital. You fainted from pneumonia at your school. But you are going to just fine. Just get some rest. I'll be back in a little while, okay." "Okay" he said as his eyes closed and he went back to sleep.
Amy went to the lounge to collect her thoughts. She was in pure shock. She didn't know what to think. She had dreamed of the day she would see Ephram again. She only wished it was under different circumstances. Amy had always been in love with Ephram and when she saw him today she felt no different. All the butterflies came rushing back when she watched him open his eyes. She didn't know what she was going to do when he finally woke up and was able to process reality. But she still had work to do. She would check on Ephram later. Time to do her rounds.
Ephram spent the next 8 hours sleeping and dreaming. Dreaming about who he thinks he saw. He wasn't sure if it was Amy but he sure wanted it to be. He dreamed about how his life could have been different if his wouldn't have turned his back on Everwood. He had spent the last ten years thing Amy hated him. How did Amy feel? What would have happened if he would have fought for the person he loved? What would he have been doing right now? Would thing still be the way they are now, would he have married her? 'Marry Amy, oh, what a blissful thought.' But first thing first, he would have to wake up and see if his mystery girl is really Amy or just a figment of his imagination.
