effort to get him to
throw the disc again. “Dignity is definitely not something Tonto
has ever possessed.” I glanced at my watch. “I should probably get
going home. I need to finish some homework before school
tomorrow.”
    “What day do you want to get together to work on
the project again?”
    “I think Tuesday would work for me. I can just
drive you home from school if you want.”
    “I guess that would work. Can you drive Sophie
as well? That way my aunt won’t have to pick either of us up.”
    “Yeah sure. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    Tonto and I walked home and Jared and Liam were
both there. I told them about running into Amanda at the hospital.
“I always told Jake that he was an idiot for letting her go,” Jared
said when I’d finished catching them up.
    “So did I. I think he was getting ready to fix
that mistake the night of the accident though. He was talking about
it on the way home from the restaurant.”
    Jared and Liam were both surprised that I had
mentioned a detail of the accident. I never spoke about that night,
so it was unusual for me to willingly volunteer something like
that. Neither of them made a big deal about it though. “You think
he would have tried to get back together with her?” Liam asked.
    I nodded. “Yeah, he told me that he was
beginning to realize what a moron he had been for just letting her
go. He thought he wanted to spread his wings a little, but
apparently he was pretty miserable without her.” I hesitated for a
moment before continuing. “He even mentioned that he’d been to a
few jewelry stores to look at engagement rings.”
    Jared’s eyebrows winged up. “Seriously?”
    “Yeah. He didn’t mention anything to you?”
    He shook his head. “No, not really. I mean, I
knew he was miserable without Amanda but I had no idea he’d been
thinking of asking her to marry him.”
    “I don’t know if he’d been quite ready for that,
but he was thinking about it. I didn’t tell Amanda about the ring
shopping because I don’t know if she should keep hanging onto the
hope that she can have a relationship if he wakes up.”
    “If he wakes up, I’m sure he’ll want her to be
there for him,” Liam pointed out.
    I sighed. “I know, but realistically the chances
of him waking up are pretty slim. It’s been nine months without any
change.”
    “Don’t give up hope on him now, Hales. You never
know what the future will bring,” Jared advised me.
    I snorted. “Since when are you so
philosophical?”
    He grinned at me. “Since forever. You just never
realized it.”
    I rolled my eyes at him. “Whatever. Let’s go
eat.”
    Later that evening, Jared and I sat down to play
a game of cards while Liam disappeared into his office to do some
work. Halfway through the game, my phone rang. I didn’t recognize
the number, but I answered anyways. “Hello?”
    “Hailey, please don’t hang up-”
    My eyes widened and I immediately disconnected
the call. I stared at my phone for a moment, fighting the urge to
toss it across the room. When it was suddenly plucked out of my
hand, I blinked a couple of times before looking over at Jared, who
was holding the phone with a scowl on his face. “Did he seriously
just try and call you?”
    I nodded. “Yeah, he did.”
    “Maybe I need to have a chat with that little
punk,” he grumbled under his breath.
    “That won’t solve anything,” I pointed out.
    “It’ll make me feel better, though.”
    I shook my head and got to my feet. “I’m just
going to forget that he called. I’m going to bed. Good night.” I
went to my room and got changed then lay down on my bed. I tried to
go to sleep, but memories kept assaulting me. I grabbed my Ipod and
shoved my earphones in my ears in an attempt to drown them out, and
eventually I was able to drift off to sleep.

    When I woke up the next morning, I knew it
wasn’t going to be a good day. My back was sore and I was tired
from tossing and turning all night. I
