[Ephram's room]

EPHRAM POV

I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to music. Angry music. Music that didn't remind me of Madison. It didn't remind me of her at all. The guitars, the drums... Oh hell, who was I kidding? Everything reminds me of Madison. Even health food. Even my car. I can't drive it anymore. Too much has happened in that car.

My CD finally stopped. I barely noticed. There was a knock on the door.

"Yeah?" I grunted. I really didnt feel like seeing anyone right now.

"Ephram, Bright is on the phone." Dad told me, poking his head through the door. I hate it when he comes in my room.

"Thanks." I said to him. He nodded and left.

I picked up the phone with a sullen "h'lo?", and sure enough, it was Bright on the other end.

"Dude! Where've you been?" He yelled into the phone.

"Around." I didn't feel like discussing this with him. All he knew about the situation was that Madison left. Nobody but me and Madison know exactly what happened. And I sure as hell wouldn't be telling people. They'd have to hunt Madison down. But I doubt people would be that curious.

"Well obviously. So do you wanna come shoot hoops today?" Bright asked. I sighed. The last thing I needed was to be reminded of yet another person who had taken my heart and smashed it into a million pieces.

"I dunno... Sure." I tried to dodge it. Really I did. Is it so wrong that I just wanted to see her? Just to say hi? She might not even be there, but she could be.

"Great, man." Bright sounded excited.

"Yeah. I'll be over in ten." I said as I hung up.

I pulled on a clean shirt, and some pants. After checking myself over in the mirror, I hurried downstairs.

"Going to Bright's." I stated as I went out the door.

I walked to Bright's house, hence the car situation. It was nice outside though, so I didn't really mind. Before I knew it, I was standing on the Abbott's front porch, debating whether or not I should ring the doorbell. But I didn't have to.

"Hey! Over here, man!" Bright called from the driveway.

"Oh hey." I said, jogging over to him. He passed me the basketball he was holding. Damn thing nearly hit me in the face. "Watch it."

"Sorry. So, uh, how have you been doing, man?" Bright asked me. I could tell he was uncomfortable.

"I've been okay. You know..." I trailed off. But the truth is, he doesn't know. He's never been in love. He's never been crushed.

It was then that I heard giggling coming from the porch. I turned to look, and I saw Laynie and Amy sitting on the steps, having a drink and laughing. Amy's eyes drifted towards me and Bright. I quickly looked away.

"She broke up with him." Bright stated, taking the ball from me.

"Huh?" I asked stupidly, although I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Tommy. She broke up with him." Bright clarified.

"Oh." I said, looking back at her. This time, our eyes connected. She smiled. I nodded. I turned back to Bright, who passed me the ball yet again. This time I wasn't so lucky. The damn thing hit me square in the face. Bright was laughing, and I could feel Amy's eyes on me. Oh yeah Brown, you're real smooth.
