You make me undone.
Madison had meant that when she said it, staring into Ephram's adoring, adolescent eyes. She didn't know why she used the word "undone," because the impact of Ephram on her was so much more intense than the word could mean. It certainly did not describe the feelings inside of her. She was afraid of herself, of her feelings for Ephram. On one level, she never wanted to see him again… she wanted to pack a bag, jump in her VW and ride until Everwood was far behind her.
But then he looked at her… and when Ephram looked at her, his eyes twinkling in the available light, she could feel herself weaken. Madison was not often weak, or at least that's what she convinced herself, but Ephram Brown was her kyrptonite, her private weakness. Although she had told Ephram she'd like to tell his father about them; about the feelings and emotions they shared, deep down she did not want Andy to know. There were so many reasons why Andy should not know about them, why he could not, why it would wreck everything. Madison knew eventually their secret would be discovered, and that frightened her… because if one ugly secret can surface, others can surely follow.
Madison Kellner had many ugly secrets, secrets which even the best of her friends did not know. There were even some she kept hidden from Ephram. Everyone has their faults, even though most people refuse to acknowledge them. Everyone has a nasty habit they like to keep private, secret sins they hold tightly to, hoping desperately no one will ever find them out.
