Chapter 3 – Waking Up
After her rounds, Amy went back to Ephram's room to check on him. He was still asleep, he had been that way for 6 hours. Amy was off from work but didn't want to go home. She needed to be by Ephram's side. At that moment Amy realized how much she needed him. She had told herself for years that he didn't mean anything to her. She had convinced herself she didn't love him. How could she love Ephram? He left Everwood. He left everything behind that matter to him. He left her! She had so many questions. Where has he been for the past ten years? Amy fell asleep next to Ephram dreaming of all the questions she had bouncing around in her head.
Amy had been asleep for two hours when Ephram began to wake. He opened his eyes and stared into the room confused. Where was he? All he remembered was his piano class, and the girl leaning over him. The Girl, Amy! He then turned to his side and saw the most beautiful sight of his life. The love of his life sleeping next to him. He stared at her for what felt like forever. He wanted to take her into his arms, but he was scared to touch her. He slowly pulled his hand up and laid it on her head. Her hair was so soft, just as he remembered. Just as he stroked her hair, she woke. She quickly spun up right looking at Ephram. He just stared into her beautiful brown eyes. "Amy!" "Yes, Ephram, it's me. I am so glad your okay." "Amy, where am I? What are you doing here?" "You can into the ER here, at New Haven Medical. I'm a doctor here." "A doctor, uh, so you followed in your Dad foot steps?" "Yep, maybe someday I'll take over the practice for him, but right now here is where I need to be. Taking care of people, like you." Being swept into Ephram's sea blue eyes just became to much for her. Amy fell into his arms crying, "I'm so glad your all right. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you forever." 'Forever,' Ephram thought, 'why was Amy so afraid of losing me forever. She doesn't even know where I have been for the past ten years.'
