Disclaimer: I don't own Everwood wish I did but I don't. I am just doing this for pleasure.

Amy stormed out of her dad's office and out onto the street. She ran toward her house only to run smack dab into Ephram and fell on her butt. She looked up and grinned, the person she saw in front of her was tall, well built, with semi long black hair. Colin she thought to herself, its Colin, he isn't dead he is right here. She grinned up at him, and then came to reality, when he grinned back at her and she saw the gorgeous blue eyes of Ephram Brown. Ok Amy get your miserable life in check, that isn't Colin, Colin died five months ago. Its Ephram. The guy that has been trying to help you through this, but you wont let him. She tried to smile again at him but started crying, because of the she had treated Ephram since he had moved here. She was also crying cause it seemed to her that she couldn't get through Colin's death, and that her dad didn't want to help her. That just made her start crying harder. This had all happened in the amount of about ten seconds.

"OMG Amy are you ok? Are you hurt? Why are you crying?" Ephram asked her feeling horrible for nocking her down. She just cried harder.

"No I'm not hurt, but I'm not ok either." She confessed to him, sniffing. He looked relieved but confused at the same time.

"Are you sure you not hurt?" He asked her again.

"Ephram, I AM NOT HURT. I am just having a horrible day, month, year. My dad doesn't want to help me and I just want to fell better." She said sniffing.

That was when he realized what it was that was bothering her, Colin. He set down next to her and pulled her into his arms. He kindof felt bad because he hadn't been there for her. You jerk, for someone that is supposedly so in love with her you haven't been there for her the last few months, he chided himself, Oh well it seems that fate has brought her back to me. He held on to her for a while, tell she calmed down and stopped crying. He pulled away from her a little and looked at her.

"Amy, you look horrible." He said wiping tears away from her face, "Come home with me for a little bit. Talk to me tell me what you are going through. I know I haven't really been there for you lately, but umm, I want to make up for that. So will you? Please?" He asked, she thought about it and nodded a little bit in agreement. "Great."

He helped her up and gave her one last long hug, and several minutes later when he pulled away, she let out a little whimper. He gave her arm an gentle squeeze and let go of her.

"You want to tell you mom or Bright where you are going to be?" He asked gently.

"No, their not there. I will right them a note, to tell them where I am." She said softly, he nodded and they walked the rest of the way to her house in silence. She went inside wrote the note and left it on the door, so they would be sure to see it. She walked back out side to wear Ephram was waiting and a thought struck her.

"Ephram? Why were you walking away from my house?" She asked. He looked at her and kindof grinned.

"Oh well Bright had said something about you not feeling good, I got worried and came by your house to check on you. Obviously you weren't there." He said with a cute grin on his face, that made her laugh. "AHH that is so sweet. Thanks Ephram, I am glad to know that one person is worried about me." She said, then looked down.

"Two Amy, there is two people that are worried about you." He told her. She looked up at him.

"Really? Who?" She asked not really believing him.

" Bright, and me." He said think thinking about it, "And Lany, she is worried about you to. I haven't talked to her but I can see it by the way she looks at you."

"Yea I guess, but they don't try to talk to me like you have." She said. "They are caught up in there own grief to really talk to me."

"Well they are worried about you. But you do have me to talk to." He told her. "Come on. Lets go."

"Ok." She said.

They started on their way to Ephram's house, and she realized that the closer they got that the more she got nervous. She didn't know why, but she was nervous about telling Ephram what was going on with her. When she looked up, she realized that they were there at his house. He looked down at her and wrapped his arm around her.

"It's just you and me right now Amy. Delia is probably at a friends house or something, she wont be back tell dinner time, which is probably be when my dad will get home. You don't have to worry about anyone hearing you except me. Ok?" He told her sweetly, and was her node her head a little bit. "Good, want to get something to eat, or drink?"

"Some water, or something would be good. I'm not all that hungry." She told him.

"Ok water it is." He said and went and get them both some water. "Want to go up to my room?"

"Yea, that would be good." She said relieved that he suggested that. He handed her, her water and led the way to his room. When they got in he closed the door, he set at his deck facing the bed and motioned for her to sit on his bed. She smiled at him weakly, and received a re-assuring smile back. She looked down at her hands for a little bit, and when she looked back up at him there were tears running down her face. He jumped out of his chair and set down next to her and once again wrapped his arms around her.

"Amy, tell me what's wrong. I want to know I'm worried about you. I won't tell anyone if you don't want to, just tell me." He said soothing to her.

With that she realized that he really did want to know, and was really worried about her. So she started explaining to him, that she was having horrible dreams, and when she had the dreams the rest of the night she couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. And because of the restless nights, it caused her to be even more miserable than she already was, during the day. She explained to him that she would see guys that were similar to Colin and actually thought that it was him, then reality would hit her and she would realize that Colin was gone. She then told him that she would try to eat but she couldn't, she just didn't have a appetite and couldn't eat, no matter how much she tried. After she told him this she looked down, and then looked back at him and started up again.

"Ephram, I wake up crying, can't sleep, can't eat. I can't concentrate in classes cause I am to tired, and in result in that my grades have gone to hell. I'm generally miserable, and does my dad give a crap about that. NO!! Get this he gave Lany anti-depressants and he won't give it to me. He said he didn't want me to be drugged up. But Lany is doing so much better. Ephram, I am miserable, I want to be happy again, Why can't he understand that?" She cried, laying her head on his shoulder, and barring her face in his chest.

He hugged her tight to him and bent his head to whisper in her ear, "Amy, maybe he is afraid that if he does put you on the anti-depressants that once you start to feel better, that something will happen to someone else, like him, or your mom, or Bright, or someone else you are close to, and that you will have to take more of them, or a bigger dosage. Or maybe he doesn't want you getting hooked on them and wants you to depend on him and you family, and your friends that love and care about you." He told her.

"He doesn't care about me, he hasn't talked to me hardly at all since Colin died, neither has my mom. Oh and my friends, yea, they are all past it and don't seem to give a crap about me. The only ones that seem to want to hang around me right now, and that try to show me that they care, are Bright, and Lany. Then of course they are also still pretty upset, so they can't always talk to me, I mean, Bright was his best friend, and Lany, his little sister. I'm not made at them. I just wish I had someone to talk to. Hold me when I need to cry, talk to me at night, and make me eat. Someone to be there to try to make me happy again, cause Ephram, I want to be happy again, and if my dad wont help me that I need someone to be there as much as they can to help me." She said, seeming to not notice that he was there holding her while she talked and cried. He squeezed he gently and kissed her head.

"Amy, where are you right now?" He asked.

"At your house." She told him, confused.

"What are you doing at my house?" He asked her again.

"Talking to you about my problems." She said, still confused.

"What am I doing?" He once again asked her.

"Holding me, while I talked to you, and cry." She said finally realizing what he was getting at. "OH God, Ephram, I'm sorry, I am so dense. I said that while you where right here, holding me."

"Amy, you are depressed, confused, hurting, its ok, I understand. I went through that too, and even though I didn't realize it tell a few months after we moved here, I had people to help me through my loss, my dad and sister. They helped me and I helped them, and I soon found that I actually kindof like it here in Everwood. But me liking it here in Everwood isn't the point, the point is that even though right now Bright and Lany are trying to get over it by themselves and are doing pretty good at it that way, you arn't. You need someone to help you through it. IF you will let me Amy, I will do it, i'll be the one that holds you and hugs you, that talks to you when you need to talk. TO make you eat, to talk to at night when you can't sleep. And to make you smile and have fun. I'll do it Amy, I really will, and I bet, if you tell them what you told me, I bet Bright and Lany will do that also." He told her hugging her close once again. She looked at him for a couple minutes and pulled back.

"You would really do that Ephram? Even though I put you through hell, You would really help me?" She asked.

"You didn't put me through hell Amy, you just wanted someone to help you get Colin back, and yes I really will help you. I want to." He told her gently, smiling at her and getting a small smile back.

"Thanks." She said, hugging him, "Your right, I did just want someone to help me get Colin back. I did get him back, for a little while, and that is all thanks to you."

"That's the way to think Amy." He praised her, and she smiled.

OK well that is what I have so far. I hope you enjoyed it and please review and tell me what you think. I really like to know what you think, and appreciate constructive criticism. The next chapter will be about how he starts to help her slowly get through her pain.
