## Timeline

**1993-2014**

> Born Amy Wright, she was a child of the nineties that saw the rise of the internet and the advent of social media. Raised in the township of North Bergen, which basked in the shadow of the bustling metropolis of New York City.
>
>
> Following the untimely death of her mother when she was just three years old, Amy was raised solely by her father, Frank Hill. Despite the loss of her mother, Amy was able to experience a relatively typical childhood, attending school and participating in various extracurricular activities, where applicable. However, as she entered her teenage years, her father's protective nature became more evident. Frank's watchful eye and strict rules were a reflection of his deep love and concern for Amy's safety and well-being.
>
>
> When Amy was thirteen years old, she received a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder, which explained some of the challenges she had faced in school and social settings. Despite this diagnosis, Amy's difficulties with learning and relating to others were overshadowed by the unique challenges she would be facing during the next chapters of her teenage years.
>
>
> Thankfully, Amy had a steadfast companionship with Jamie, a local who was a few years her senior. While Amy did not have a wide circle of friends, her relationship with Jamie was unwavering and provided her with a sense of security and support. Despite the age difference between them, Jamie and Amy shared a special bond that was rooted in mutual understanding and trust.
>
>
> During Amy's later years in high school, she encountered stresses on her mind that seemed to permeate every aspect of her life. As she approached the end of her academic career, the pressure to succeed and achieve her goals only seemed to mount, leaving her feeling anxious and uncertain, or whether she even cared about the grades, in the first place.
>
>
> Amy found solace in her close relationship with Jamie. Living in nearby neighbourhoods, the two would walk to school together every day, a routine that provided a sense of comfort and stability in an otherwise tumultuous period of their lives. However, Amy's reliance on smoking cigarettes as a coping mechanism for her stress continued to be a concern.
>
>
> On particularly difficult days, Amy would feel the weight of her stress bearing down on her, causing her to seek solace in a quick smoke break outside. But even these moments of respite were short-lived. By the end of 2011, and her first year of senior high-school, she had dropped out to pursue the evermore interesting social side of teenage life.
>
>
> As Amy moved into her late teenage to early adult years, her father's protectiveness started to loosen its grip on her. She began to venture out into the world, making new friends both in her neighbourhood and across the river in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan. However, the people she associated with were not always the best influences.
>
>
> Before she knew it, she had been lured into the dangerous world of part-time drug dealing, where she found herself walking a fine line between the law and her own safety. Amy's descent into a dark and dangerous world was a rapid one.
>
>
> She found herself slipping further and further into the shadows, meeting individuals who were abusive and exploitative, using her vulnerability to manipulate her for their own gain, like her boss in entry-level prostitution, where she catered to the whims of customers on the streets of Long Island. Her life became a dizzying whirlwind of late nights, cheap motels, and seedy alleyways.
>
>
> Frank became deeply distant when he began to notice his daughter's antics of returning home in the wee hours of the morning, dressed in provocative attire. He couldn't fathom why she was dressed that way and why she was out so late. When he questioned her, Amy hesitated to give details, not out of deceit but due to her own confusion about the path she had chosen for herself.
>
>
> Unfortunately, one night, while drinking with her false-faced friends, Amy got into a fight with another customer at a bar, with alcohol and insecurities to fuel the fire, tensions flared and Amy found herself grabbing hold of a nearby bottle, where she broke it to form a shard of glass as to formulate a makeshift weapon.
>
>
>
> The situation quickly turned dangerous, with the two combatants locked in a vicious struggle that left both of them bloodied and bruised, but more so the victim, where when the police arrived on the scene soon after, she was promptly arrested and charged with armed assault. Despite the fact that no one had been killed, the severity of the crime was not to be underestimated. As a result, she was sentenced to two long years in prison, where she would have plenty of time to reflect on the choices that had led her to this dark and lonely place.

**Dark Encounter - 2015**

> Amy's initial days in jail were as daunting as one would imagine - caged within four concrete walls, she felt like a helpless animal trapped in a corral. She was sober and had no energy left to fight for her freedom. Days turned into months, and the months into years, and Amy was left alone with her thoughts, brooding over her situation. After nearly two full years of incarceration, the once-sound and composed individual had become a mere shadow of her former self. What began as an occasional brush with the law had devolved into a constant state of chaos and despair, taking a severe toll on her mental wellbeing.
>
>
> The isolation, monotony, and constant fear had eroded her psyche, leaving her feeling lost and alone. The endless days of confinement had stripped her of any sense of identity or purpose, leaving her feeling trapped and powerless. Furthermore, her former drug-using friends from outside had contacts inside, who were incarcerated with her, providing her with access to drugs in exchange for favours.
>
>
> Although she had once been viewed as a mere nuisance, her prolonged confinement had transformed her into something far more troubling. The impact of her incarceration was no longer limited to the confines of the prison walls, but had extended deep into her psyche, leaving a permanent mark on her mental health.
>
>
> The experience had left her with a deep sense of empathy for those who had also been cast aside by society, forgotten and left to languish in the darkness. Her time in prison had taught her the harsh realities of the justice system and the immense power it held over those who fell victim to its clutches.
>
>
> Something other-worldly & unexpected happened nearing the days of her release. While she was alone in the showers, a mysterious figure approached her. Amy was startled but quickly realized that the stranger had no intention of harming her. They struck up a conversation, and the person's kindness and empathy left a lasting impression on Amy.
>
>
> The enigmatic character stood before Amy, draped in a finely tailored suit, exuding an air of mystery and sophistication. His impeccable British accent and the sleek, well-groomed dark brown hair atop his head only added to his allure. Yet, he seemed to lurk in the shadows, with his hands deeply buried inside his pockets, as if concealing something of great significance.
>
>
> This man made an offer to Amy, one that promised immortality and boundless power, an offer that left her mind reeling with the possibilities. Despite her initial confusion and scepticism, Amy was no fool, and knew better than to trust the words of a stranger who lurked in the darkness. In a moment of panic, she let out a piercing scream for help, hoping to draw the attention of the guards.
>
>
> When a guard finally arrived, Amy found herself alone, with the stranger nowhere to be found. She could not fathom the consequences of accepting his offer, nor could she shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of something far more sinister. The world was full of dark and dangerous secrets, and this encounter had left her with a newfound awareness of the shadows that lurked just beyond the light.
>
>
> Frank, Amy's father, had reservations about welcoming his daughter back home despite his care for her. Instead, he came up with an alternative plan and reached out to Jamie for help. Jamie, being the good friend he is, agreed to assist in finding Amy a place to sleep.
>
>
> Upon her release from prison, Amy was greeted with a pre-paid taxi that took her directly to Jamie's apartment where her clothes and belongings were already waiting for her. Unfortunately, Amy's time behind bars had left her worse off than before. While some believe that prison can help reform individuals, Amy's experience did not seem to have that effect on her. In fact, her time in prison seemed to have only exacerbated her negative behaviours. She harboured a deep resentment towards her father for not welcoming her home with open arms.
>
>
> Despite Jamie's good intentions, it seemed that Amy's journey towards rehabilitation would be a difficult one. However, with the support of those who cared for her, there was still hope for a better future. Perhaps, with time, Amy could overcome her demons and rebuild her life in a positive way.
>
>
> Jamie exhibited genuine concern for Amy despite their distance, showing his respect by offering her a place to stay even though they had not seen each other for over two years. Amy's stay with Jamie included the customary offering of a drink after her release, as she was in need of one. Amy's behaviour of relying on alcohol to cope with her depression at such a young age was concerning, and Jamie made sure to keep a watchful eye on her.
>
>
> During her stay with Jamie, their relationship gradually rekindled, although there were moments of silence and unresolved tension. Amy's carefree and reckless nature was evident as she suggested staying out late and binge drinking, behaviours that were reminiscent of the past mistakes that led to her incarceration. Jamie was concerned about her well-being and did not want history to repeat itself.
>
>
> Their time together was a mix of both enjoyable and sombre moments, but Jamie remained the same empathetic and caring friend to Amy. He wanted to protect her from making the same mistakes that led to her past troubles and showed her patience and understanding as she navigated her way through her personal struggles.
>
>
> It was evident to Jamie that Amy was struggling and needed assistance or someone to confide in. Jamie recognized her situation, but assumed it would resolve itself in due course. However, Amy's life took another unexpected turn one day when she was alone in Jamie's Hell's Kitchen apartment.
>
>
> In a state of confusion, Amy encountered a familiar figure, a man that appeared to be a product of her imagination, or perhaps a result of her deteriorating mental state. She couldn't determine if he was real or just a figment of her mind. She referred to him as "The Devil" and pondered his existence for a month following her release. This was a crucial moment for him to reveal himself, and he did, as when Amy was suffering from a severe hangover.
>
>
> When Amy saw this man in the mirror, she was shocked and unsure of what to do. Her first thought was to reach out to Jamie or someone else for help. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling that the man was trying to communicate with her. Amy began to experience a series of strange occurrences and was convinced that the man in the mirror was real, like an other-worldly force trying to break into her reality.
>
>
> The man persisted in trying to communicate with Amy, and eventually, she relented and listened to him. He presented her with an offer of immortality, but she was uncertain of the cost. The figure appeared gaunt and almost demonic, yet he spoke to her with a friendly demeanor, introducing himself as JT. Amy was not interested in the concept of immortality at this moment, but more in curiosity of her own sanity - Taking an almost manic joy in seeing how far she had fallen, to believe that she was talking to things that were not there.
>
>
> She realized that acknowledging the possibility of these sights being only delusions of her mind could give her an advantage. If she knew that what she was experiencing was not real, it couldn't harm her. Amy makes a hasty decision to accept his offer of immortality despite not fully comprehending the implications of her choice.
>
>
> Jamie experiences a challenging period in the days and weeks to come. Despite being uncertain of Amy's condition, he senses that something is amiss. Amy, who was previously depressed, now radiates a sense of empowerment and happiness that appears to be focused and purposeful. However, JT's actions soon reveal his true nature. JT is a being devoid of any compassion or empathy towards humanity, and in fact, he is not even human himself. Amy is bewildered by this revelation, and events are about to take a drastic turn, leading them down an irreversible path.
>
>
> JT's desire to test Amy's limits drove him to push her to the brink. Each night, Amy would sneak out, following the commands of a mysterious voice, while Jamie was kept in the dark. She struggled to make sense of her experiences, unsure of whether she was losing her mind or if these actions were truly happening. Meanwhile, JT's physical presence was unmistakable; he could touch and interact with objects as if he were human. Despite their unconventional friendship, JT remained firmly in control.
>
>
> Amy's behaviour became increasingly erratic, and Jamie grew more concerned about her well-being. He tried to intervene, but she refused to listen. She was determined to continue on her dangerous path, seemingly drawn to the thrill of JT pushing the throttle on what she thought was possible. However, as time passed, it became clear that JT's intentions were far from benevolent. His lack of empathy and disregard for human life suggested that he was capable of unspeakable acts.
>
>
> The situation was ready to spiral out of control, Jamie and Amy found themselves in grave danger. And Amy had unwittingly become entangled in JT's sinister plans, and Jamie's once-close bond was now shattered. They were no longer friends, but pawns in a game they could never win. The consequences of her actions would haunt her for the rest of her life.
>
>
> The fleeting period of excitement and adventure was soon brought to an abrupt end when JT raised a disturbing question: was Amy capable of taking a life? As the early morning light filtered through the windows, Amy ventured out once again, accompanied by JT's unsettling thoughts about the power of doing whatever one wants.
>
>
> Their brazen attempt to break into a neighbor's apartment, located in the same building as Jamie, would prove to be a turning point. Avoiding what could have been hours of pounding and chipping wood from the secure, oak door, she was able to gain entry with a surprisingly simple twist of the doorknob, as if Amy had the strength of ten men. Inside, Amy found herself in a dimly lit living room, filled with antiquated furnishings that hinted at the occupant's age.
>
>
> As Amy explored the apartment, she couldn't shake the feeling that they had crossed a dangerous line. The thrill of breaking into someone's home had been exhilarating, but now she was filled with a sense of guilt and unease. JT's actions had pushed her to the brink, and she wasn't sure if she could ever go back to her old life.
>
>
> As Amy and JT stood in the darkened living room, the resident of the apartment suddenly appeared, her presence sending a jolt of fear through Amy's body. JT's mind was racing with a flurry of ideas, urging Amy to act quickly and decisively. He whispered urgently in her ear, telling her that there was a firearm hidden in the bureau next to the door.
>
>
> Without hesitation, Amy reached for the drawer and found the gun just where JT had said it would be. As she turned to face the old lady, the sound of her dog barking frantically filled the air. The tension in the room was palpable as the old woman scrambled for the phone, her fear evident in her shaking hands.
>
>
> JT's voice grew more insistent, demanding that Amy finish what they had started. With a sense of dread, Amy raised the gun in her right hand and fired several shots into the darkness. The room was filled with the sound of the gunfire, echoing off the walls in a deafening roar.
>
>
> As the echoes subsided, the only sound that could be heard was the soft thump of a body hitting the carpet. Amy stood frozen, her mind racing with a mix of fear and confusion. What had she done? Was it really necessary? To take a life?
>
>
> JT's expression was inscrutable as he surveyed the scene. For him, the act of violence was simply a means to an end. But for Amy, it was a turning point, a moment that would change the course of her life forever. As she looked down at the lifeless body on the floor, she knew that there was no going back. She was now a part of JT's world, whether she liked it or not.
>
>
> The aftermath of the shooting left Amy in a state of disbelief. It was as if the world had suddenly shifted on its axis, and everything she had once known to be true was now called into question. The reality of what she had just done hung heavy in the air, like a thick fog that refused to dissipate.
>
>
> For a moment, it felt like she was trapped in a dream-like state, where nothing made sense and time stood still. She questioned her own senses, wondering if what she was experiencing was real or merely a figment of her imagination. The feeling of sleep deprivation added to the surreal nature of the moment, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.
>
>
> Despite the shock and confusion that consumed her, Amy managed to remain composed. She didn't cry or scream, but rather, she observed the situation with a detached sense of objectivity. It was almost as if she was viewing the events from a higher perspective, as if she were an astral projection hovering above the scene.
>
>
>
> As JT urged her to leave, Amy snapped back to reality and quickly discarded the firearm on the floor. In her haste, she neglected to wear gloves, leaving behind a damning piece of evidence that could tie her to the crime.
>
>

**The Truth of Reality, 2016**

> After the murder, Amy found herself consumed by a sense of unease and paranoia. She knew that the consequences of her actions could catch up with her at any moment, and the weight of that knowledge was almost unbearable. Despite this, she tried to carry on with her life as if nothing had happened, but the memory of what she had done haunted her every waking moment.
>
>
> Meanwhile, Jamie had become increasingly worried about Amy's mental state. He had noticed a change in her behavior and demeanor, and he knew that something was seriously wrong. He urged her to seek professional help, hoping that it would be enough to break her free from the grip of JT's influence.
>
>
> Looking back on those early days, it's clear that there were many missed opportunities to save Amy from JT's clutches. If only she had received the help she needed sooner, things might have turned out differently. The substance of those days was malleable, and the outcome could have been changed with a different approach.
>
>
> Jamie's concern for Amy's well-being led him to contact the authorities, and despite her resistance, she was subjected to mandatory psychiatric evaluation. The results of the evaluation revealed that Amy was suffering from a severe case of schizophrenia, a chronic and debilitating mental disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. Due to the authorities lack of knowledge about the murder, she was released only days after, and provided a scheme of medication and therapy.
>
>
> JT's connection with Amy was unique, existing through a psychic channel that only he and Amy could access. He had limited awareness of the world around him, as his entire existence was grounded in Amy's perspective. However, the antipsychotic medication prescribed to Amy to manage her schizophrenia disrupted this connection, causing JT to experience a sudden disconnect from her. He strongly opposed Amy's decision to take these medications, as it would mean losing his connection to the world.
>
>
> JT's need for violence and bloodshed began to escalate, putting Jamie, Amy's best friend, in danger. Amy struggled to maintain her grip on JT's charm, as his reckless behavior put everything she cared about at risk. Eventually, Amy realized that she needed to sever ties with JT, for her own well-being and for the safety of those around her - But it was too late, and the elusive figure in Amy's mind had strange, direct control, as if she was a puppet, and he was the puppeteer.
>
>
> Jamie knew that his best friend would not return to the light, and that her mind would need a longer period of healing. She impulsively attacked Jamie with a knife in her own confusion, leaving a deep cut on his arm. This event led to a significant rift in their relationship, and he was aware of her previous crime of homicide, which only added to his worries. Jamie felt it was necessary to reach out to the authorities once again, hoping to prevent any further harm caused by Amy's unpredictable behaviour.
>
>
> Amy made a hasty exit from Jamie's apartment, feeling the urgency of the situation. JT suggested that they escape using Jamie's car, and Amy complied by stealing the car keys. However, Amy lacked the necessary driving skills and had never been taught how to operate a car. After driving only a short distance away from the apartment building, she collided with a street lamp.
>
>
> The collision with the street lamp caused major damage to Jamie's car and attracted attention from passersby. This led to eyewitness accounts of the incident, aiding in Amy's eventual capture. Amy suffered only minor injuries and fled the scene on foot. Her attempts to evade law enforcement were unsuccessful, and she was eventually caught by the New York Police Department.
>
>
>
> Despite facing multiple charges for her actions, Amy was able to avoid a lengthy prison sentence due to Jamie's intervention on her behalf. After some persuasion, Amy agreed to return to her medication and therapy regimen, a decision that would ultimately prove beneficial for her well-being. This move allowed her to break free from JT's hold over her mind and regain control of her thoughts and actions. She spent six months in a psychiatric facility, where she was able to address her mental health issues and work on improving her overall well-being. In the last two months of her stay, Amy began transitioning back to a normal life, spending time both at the facility and at home. This process helped her adjust to the demands of daily life and prepare for her eventual release.

**Recovery?, 2017-2020**

> After the traumatic events of the previous year, Amy had a period of stability in her life. She was able to reconnect with Jamie and their friendship grew stronger. He was still keeping the truth of Amy's past actions a secret, as she coped with the trauma all by believing that the actions she took were all apart of the same collective delusion.
>
>
> Their relationship evolved into something more than friendship; romance. Despite the importance of continuing her medication, Amy began to deviate from her routine, believing that she no longer needed it after eight months of therapy, and since the incident of prior year.
>
>
> Amy struggled to come to terms with her condition. She found herself ever since those days, questioning the reality of her experiences, unable to distinguish between what was real and what was merely a product of her imagination. Memories of the man in the suit continued to haunt her, and she began to fear that he might still be out there, watching her every move.
>
>
> Amy was enamoured by Jamie and grateful for all he had done to help her. Despite Jamie's awareness of Amy's past psychological distress, which led to her past actions, he struggled to let go of the emotional scars that her actions had left on him. Despite his efforts to forgive her, the painful memories still haunted him, often resurfacing from the depths of his mind. This cognitive dissonance caused awkwardness between them, as Amy longed for a level of intimacy that they had never shared before, while Jamie struggled to reconcile his feelings of love and betrayal.
>
>
> It appeared as though Amy had miraculously recovered from her dependence on the antipsychotics, and her well-being seemed to have improved significantly. This newfound sense of stability proved to be short-lived, lasting only for about a week.
>
>
> Despite Jamie's reservations about being involved with someone like Amy, he was determined to make her happy and took gentle steps to ensure her comfort. They spent a leisurely day together in Central Park, basking in the warm sunlight and enjoying the lush greenery around them.
>
>
> Their day culminated in a brief moment of physical intimacy in Jamie's new Hummer H3, which served as a testament to his affection for Amy. Afterward, they indulged in a sweet treat from one of the many ice cream vendors within the park, Perhaps Amy's sense of stability and security had blinded her to the reality of her situation, leading her to act without thinking.
>
>
> While Jamie was purchasing an ice cream treat for them from a nearby vendor, he noticed Amy's unusual behaviour and confusion, she seemed lost, almost sad after their intimate encounter. Suddenly, he found himself in a harrowing situation as Amy had aimed a gun on him, standing from only five meters away, leaving him bewildered, and betrayed. Jamie begun to talk Amy out of this mess, perhaps she was joking?
>
>
> As the situation unfolded, a voice from the past emerged, revealing JT, who had been missing for almost a year. Amy found herself overpowered by the sudden appearance of JT, whose deep and bassy voice filled her ears. A mysterious and ghostly arm guided hers as she struggled to maintain control of the gun pointed at Jamie, tears stream down her face as the crowd around them grew more and more agitated.
>
>
> The attracted attention of park-goers who watched in shock and disbelief. Some took pictures and recorded the incident on their devices while others called the authorities for help. Amy's overwhelming emotions took hold, and she broke down into tears as the reality of the situation sunk in.
>
>
> There was no agency to her actions, and there was nothing in the world that could stop her from pulling that trigger. It was as if her own body was not under her control, and she was merely a passive observer in the situation.
>
>
> As she aimed the gun at Jamie, she felt JT's arm, hands, and fingers take over. Her trembling palms had swayed the shot, it had missed his vital organs and landed a round of lead within his left thigh, a non-fatal injury.
>
>
> The arrival of the authorities was swift, and the her went body went limp, devoid of any strength or purpose. Her knees buckled, and she assumed a kneeling position, her gaze fixated on the cold concrete below. She remained motionless, lost in thought, until the police tackled her to the ground and cuffed her, with the firearm kicked aside, away from the woman's grasp.
>
>
> In that moment, JT emerged victorious, and Amy was left defeated, unable to grasp the magnitude of what had just occurred. The abruptness of her downfall, juxtaposed with the overwhelming powerlessness she felt, was a stark reminder of the frailty of human existence.
>
>
> Amy was informed of her constitutional rights and taken into custody for the crime of attempted murder. Given the severity and peculiarities of the case, the court deemed it appropriate to consider a mental health facility as the most fitting location for her rehabilitation.
>
>
> The woman had been imprisoned in the high-security wing of the facility for three long years, enduring the crushing weight of confinement and isolation. Despite her efforts to cope with the unbearable conditions, she eventually succumbed to the overwhelming despair and agony, resorting to a crude plastic shiv, sought and sharpened from a toothbrush, to end her own life in a bloody, painful mess.

>
> Despite her acceptance of JT's deal four years prior, his proposal of immortality did not even bear a single thought to her in her final moments, for she believed it was all a creation of her own madness. This was

## NEW

Amy was a child of the nineties to witness the technological change in the world and the rise of the internet. Raised in the Township of North Bergen, her growing years follow in a working class environment in the absence of her mother, who died while her child was still in infancy. Frank, Amy’s father, remained to raise his daughter whilst maintaining his blue-collar career as a tow truck driver.

Without his lover, Frank had adapted to an overprotective nature over Amy, less in the suffocating sense but restricting, nonetheless. Regardless of her relatively calm upbringing, Amy faced confrontation at school and in her social life in a struggle to find her place amongst her peers, often left ostracized by many.

Despite her unpopularity, Amy did not forgo friends completely, uncovering a strong bond with Jamie Kneller, a boy of similar age, who also attended her school and shared a place in her neighbourhood. Amy and Jamie spent as much time together as they could out of school, barring her father’s need to keep her in reach to dampen his worries.

As a child, Amy had a strong fixation on space and all its wonders, despite lacking an understanding of the intricacies. She did not spend a lot of time playing with toys, rather preferring to express herself with drawings as a creative medium. Frank was very informative about her mother’s death, making it integral that her absence would not isolate him from his daughter, or become a distraction for either of them.

By high school, Amy’s reliance on anger to resolve tension had become a normal reaction, leading to the concern of her teachers and her father. This surmounted their previous concern for Amy’s lack of sociality, which already burdened Frank in a self-blaming fashion. Despite Amy’s struggles, Jamie would prove to be a brotherly figure, with feelings of love between the two masked by teenage frigidity and lack of communication.

In times of stress, Amy would resort to smoking following arguments and ditching classes, sometimes bringing Jamie with her, despite loyalty to his grades. This would become regular, and with her lack of a motherly figure, Amy’s character and lifestyle would grow boyish as she peels on a subconscious facade.

Given intervention from her high school, Amy was placed in counselling and diagnosed with attention deficit & hyperactivity as an answer to her behaviours and her increasing lack of engagement. The news was less than a shock to her, feeling that it solidified her existing belief that she was, in some part, different from others.

As she grew pubescent, Amy continued to exact harsher reactions to people she disliked. Among them was her father, where what was previously a peaceful home became littered with tension and arguments. She would spend an awful lot of time out, more than ever, breaking her father’s curfews with late appearances after many dinners had gone long cold.

Though she had adopted an almost tomboy-esque visage since her childhood, Amy’s hormones would lead her back into the path of femininity, and slowly but surely, her popularity at school would meter a more positive outlook. As healthy and slowly as the two could, Amy and Jamie’s friendship drifted as the years crept closer to senior high school.

Against her father’s wishes, Amy would spend a lot of time with her new friends across the water in New York in the school breaks, with the trips becoming more frequent as time went on. Among her new friend group, Amy would discover her premier sexual encounter with a boy slightly older than her, and while he was not interested in a relationship, the two remained friends.

Amy and Jamie were not on regular speaking terms anymore, and as he planned for college, Amy focused all her efforts on her growing social life with no perspective on her future. Her attention and engagement at school was exceedingly bad, and despite a course of treatment, including medication, Amy continued to ignore the gift of academia.
