He looked down at the unmoving Amanda. She looked so peaceful. He took her small, tan hand into his strong, pale, cold one. He sat and stared at her for a while, and then turned back to address mine and Sam's awaiting looks. &quot;I didn't ruin her life,&quot; he calmly replied, &quot;I saved it.&quot; Samantha and I exchanged confused glances. &quot;What do you mean?&quot; Sam asked. Charlie glanced at her before his eyes wandered to the opening door. Stacy was back, with a glass of icy-cold water and a towel. She dipped the towel in the water and kneeled by Beth's bed. She dabbed Amanda's eyes and forehead, and she quickly awoke. Amanda looked around the room. &quot;Where am I?&quot; she inquired. &quot;Hi, Amanda,&quot; Stacy began, &quot;This nice boy brought you here. He said that some sort of excitement became to much for you. I didn't even _want_ to know.&quot; Stacy chuckled. Then, she turned back to me. &quot;Aly, I have to take Beth to ballet. Try not to get in any trouble, okay? And, anyway, where is Nick? Did that kid get himself lost?&quot; I laughed. 2008-06-10T20:37:39Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/33663 <p>I love this line:<br />“I didn’t ruin her life,” he calmly replied, “I saved it.”<br />Idk why, it&#8217;s just a wonderful line!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/33663?basename=69694 2008-06-10T20:37:39Z Sailor Emo http://ficlets.com/authors/live_2_love <p>more more!!!!!!!<br />ahaha<br />:]</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/33663?basename=69316 2008-06-09T17:08:48Z Gerr Bear :] http://ficlets.com/authors/gerrbear
