Two day (Thursday) before graduation Amy skyped.
"Are you excited you're GRADUATING!!! I'm getting in at 6pm."
"Yes I am excited. Margaret is going to pick you up."
"See you at your graduation. Good Night."

The next morning, I was called into Mr. Boykewich's office.
"I know you're graduating tomorrow and Amy's still has another year. I was think maybe you should be using your degree but in New York with Amy." His phone rings "Hang on I have to take this. I... I have to go to New York, we'll talk later" running out of the office.

I called Amy, no answer, so I left a message. "Just remember Margaret is picking you up." I called her every few hours still no answer. Later that night I received a call from Margaret telling me she never came in. I called Amy again, no answer, I left another message. "What is the hell is going on? Margret been waiting and waiting for you. Where are you? Why aren't you answering?" This is frustrating why isn't she answering? Why isn't she here? Ben you better not be the reason why she isn't here?

Graduation Day (Saturday)

I walked a crossed the stage saw everybody I love, but Amy, George (Amy's dad), Ben or Mr. Boykewich. I called Amy again after graduation still no answer. I haven't heard from Amy since Thursday. Amy what's going on. I called Amy once more. I left another message. "Amy, never mind the other massage I was angry now I'm worried about you. I miss you. Why aren't you here to celebrate my graduation. Are you mad at me or something?"
Hours later Mr. Boykewich called me. "Meet me at my office in the morning we need to talk." Sunday Morning The next morning, I walked into Mr. Boykewich's office. He was sitting at his deck and George was sitting on the side looking distraught. 
"Amy's in the hospital. I have 4 tickets for you, John, Margaret and Shakur with 2 hotel rooms in New York." As I was about to exit the office, George handed me a file that read police report. I picked up John, packed a little, met Margaret and Shakur at the airport, and headed for New York.

On the plane I read the file:

Witness statement: Charles (Charlie) Stevens owner of City Block Diner (527 10th Ave and 30th St)

Jeanie and I were standing outside of the diner having a smoke. We heard somebody yelling "Charlie". So we looked down the block and saw Amy limping holding her right leg. When she got closer we noticed she was bleeding from the nose. So I ran over to her noticing why she was limping, she had a knife in her leg. Jeanie ran inside for some rags and call 911 as I was helping her to the stairs. Just before reaching the steps she clasped. She whispered Ben stop. Then she stopped breathing. I gave her CPR.
