Chapter #1: A morning to remember
Ephram was lying in his bed reading his comic books and listening to his Walkman blasting music into his ears. The music was almost too loud for his liking but he'd do anything to not listen to his dad scream at him every second to get out of bed.
It wasn't school but it was the one-day that Andy Brown had actually made breakfast and not ruined it (If that was possible).
Ephram was an average kid. He had Purple hair (That was fading to his natural color Brown) was filled with sorrow and hatred for his dad. Well I guess that's not average but that's as average as it was going to get for Ephram brown.
About a year ago his mother died. She was the only person in his life that actually understood him and she was the one that had to die. He knew it isn't anybody's fault but he always blames it on himself. If he didn't ask her to come a little early to his recital she wouldn't have hit the truck. She would still be alive. He kept telling himself this over and over in this head.
"Ephram!" Andy Brown yelled up stairs to his son who was obviously not listening, "Common down for breakfast. I didn't burn it." Andy had a big smile across his face. He was never the cooking type. He usually burnt everything. He even once caught his beard on fire from the toaster. He never really liked his beard but before his wife died she told him it made him look distinguished so he grew it out. It made him feel in a way that she was still with him.
Delia was slowly walking down the stairs with bags under her eyes. She was the youngest of the family, but definitely the one with the most enthusiasm. She didn't really like moving to everwood either but she tried to make the best of it. She hadn't really made any great friends yet except for Sam her neighbor. He was about her age or a year or two younger.
"Morning Daddy. What is it this time?" Delia looked at the table trying to figure out what he made. She was just about 1 inch to small to be able to see so she stood on her tiptoe toes.
"Poptarts!" He replied passing her a plate with 1 on it.
"Thank you," she added. She grabbed the plate and went to the table to sit down. She was just about to take a bite until Andy interrupted her.
"Can you go tell Ephram to get his lazy carcass down here? I've been calling him for the last 30 minutes." Andy sounded very frustrated now. He was fiddling around with the toaster trying to prepare a Poptart for Ephram. It's kind of funny how someone could find surgery a breeze but have so much trouble just trying to toast a lousy Poptart. But that's Andy Brown for you.
"Sure dad." Delia marched upstairs humming the Little Mermaid song. It was her favorite movie. She practically memorized ever frickin word they say. She finally reached Ephrams room.
"What is it? Did dad send his little munchkin to do his dirty work?" Ephram said to Delia. He took of his headphones. He sometimes wished he could keep them on forever. When he had them on its like they blasted all his troubles. The music was so loud its like his brain couldn't think with all that noise. But then once he took them off all those troubles and unwanted memories just rushed back and it was like too much to bear.
"I'm not a munchkin." Delia said stomping her foot against the floor. She looked really cute her lip was sticking out as though it was to heavy for her face. Ephram always loved it when she did her pouting face. It was so funny and always wanted to make him break out in laughter.
"Ok ok. Calm down. It was just a joke." Ephram said through laughter.
"Dad wants you to come down to eat."
"Yah I know. What is it this time? Burnt carrots?," Ephram asking just cringing from the thought. Ephram wasn't really afraid of a lot of things but when it came to his father's food he was terrified.
"No. It Poptarts."
"Great." Ephram said sarcastically, "Ok I'm coming." He didn't sound to enthusiastic. And with that Delia went back down stairs.

15 minutes later in the brown's kitchen
Ephram just entered the kitchen from getting dressed. He was wearing baggy jeans and a T-shirt that was way to big for him but hey. He's a guy. What do you expect? A tank top?
"Took you long enough." Andy said, "I saved a Poptart for you." Andy put the poptart into the toaster. While he was waiting he poured himself some orange juice. His mother always had orange juice in the morning so ever since she died it kind became Ephrams morning tradition. Just then the poptart popped up from the toaster which startled Andy. He took the poptart out but dropped it in the sink after realizing how hot it was. The once perfect poptart was now well.. Lets just say soggy.
"Oh goody. Soggy Poptarts." Ephram replied sarcastically after looking at his plate.
Just then the phone rang. "I'll get it." Ephram said running to the phone. He was hoping like hell that it was one of his friends from NY.
"Hello?" Ephram said into the receiver.
"Hey it's me," Came the reply "Collin."
"Oh hi." Ephram said sounding a little disappointed.
"Um. I was just wondering Amy, Bright and I are going up to the lake for a swim. I was wondering if you would like to join us. I mean you aren't busy are you?" Collin asked.
"No. But are you sure its ok with them?" Ephram is sounding a little unsure about the whole idea.
"Coarse I'm sure. Why wouldn't they want you to come? Your part of the gang man. So are you in?" Collin waited for a reply. It went silent for a minute although to Ephram it felt like hours.
"Yah I'm in." Ephram didn't sound to enthusiastic. Amy and him had just gotten in a fight and Bright totally hated his guts. The only reason he didn't pummel him was because Collin liked him and he didn't want to upset him after the surgery and all.
"Ok great. I'll see you at 12:00" Collin finished.
"Ok Bye." Ephram said putting the receiver down.
"Bye." Collin barely got those last words out before Ephram hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?" Andy asked.
"I'm going swimming at the lake at 12:00." Ephram said while walking up the stairs. "I'll be in my room."
"But what about your breakfast?" Andy asked. Being a doctor and all he knew how important it was to your heath to eat a nutritious meal.
"You cal that breakfast?" Ephram yelled back before slamming his door shut.

Ephram plopped down in bed and picked up his comic book and slipped his headphones back on and cranked up the tunes. For the second time that day, all this troubles faded away and he lay there reading in peace with nothing to trouble him. For Ephram that was his world. He relaxed and let his mind fade away into his comic.
