Chapter 2

He woke up with his arms wrapped around her. The morning was always the worst. He would go to bed dreaming of nothing but Madison, and wake up with someone else in his arms. He slowly untangled himself fromAmy and got out of bed.

"Where you going?" replied Amy just waking up.

"I was going to go for a run", said Ephram trying to get out as fast as he could so he could clear his head.

"Since when do you run?" she asked with a questioning look

"Since well…..never, but why not start today?" he replied with a smile, cursing himself for not thinking of a better response.

"If that's what you want to do, but I'd much rather you stay here with me" she said while going to the edge of the bed and grabbing Ephram so that he was now lying back down.

"Well it looks as though I have no choice in the matter, so I guess I will have to put off my running for another….17 years" laughed Ephram.

"I guess so, but don't worry I'm sure we can compensate for the running" she said cuddling close to her boyfriend.

"Yeah we sure can" Ephram said half heartedly. He didn't want to be here right now. He wanted to go, go anywhere but here. Except he couldn't leave, he couldn't just desert his girlfriend to go think about his ex. So he did the only thing that he could and held her. Holding her only reminded him of what he didn't have. He didn't hold Amy with the closeness he held Madison with. Amy didn't fit the way Madison did, Madison was special. She was also gone.

Before he could get comfortable he got up again and said "How about I go make us some breakfast?"

"Okay sounds great I was getting hungry" Amy said in her usual perky tone.

"Well I guess I'll be down stairs then" kissing her on her forehead he got up fastand made his way down the stairs.

Ephram was downstairs for less then 5 minutes when he remembered, he couldn't cook. Laughing at himself for being so dumb, he thought about how to get out of this one. The only thing that came to mind was Mamma Joy's. He would just take Amy out for breakfast. That would get him out of the house and give him a break from the confiding space of his house. He also realized that this would have never happened if he were with Madison. They knew each other inside out, and she would have never allowed him to make breakfast. Further more he would have never want to leave the bed.

Breaking out of his thoughts Ephram yelled from the bottom of the stairs "Amy get dressed were going to go to Mamma Joy's instead"

"Why I thought you were going to make breakfast for us?" replied Amy just as loud from upstairs.

"Well there's only one problem with that plan babe, I can't cook. So you'll have to settle with breakfast at Mamma Joy's on me" said Ephram trying to get Amy on board with his plan.

"I can make breakfast if you want, because unlike you I don't have your fathers cooking ability", came Amy's voice as she descended down the stairs.

"No its ok plus it would be nice to get out of the house for a while, we've been cooped up here all weekend" replied Ephram greeting her at the bottom of the stairs.

"Fine you win, I'll go to Mamma Joy's" replied Amy giving in to Ephram's plan to go to Mamma Joy's

"Great let me go get dressed and then we can leave" said Ephram making his way up stairs.

"If I didn't know any better Ephram I would think you were trying to get away from me, you aren't are you?" asked Amy a little concerned.

" No of course not, why would I want that? I like having you around. This weekend has been fun I just want to get out a little" Ephram spoke while standing about half way up the stairs.

"Okay just checking, didn't really think that any way. Now go get ready I'm hungry" stated Amy from her now comfy spot on the sofa.

"Sure thing be back in a flash" Ephram said while running up the remainder steps.

While upstairs getting dressed he thought about how this shouldn't keep happening. He shouldn't have to keep hiding his feelings just so he can make everyone else happy. He had to start thinking about what he wanted, and who he wanted. Plus he wasn't just hurting himself any more. Amy's feelings were getting attached too and continuing with all the lies could only end badly. He didn't want to hurt her; he did actually care about her, just not the same way she cared about him. It was getting harder to deny his feelings. Anyone who knew him well could see that he was unhappy. The only problem was that no one knew him well enough to tell. He needed to end things with Amy, he couldn't let them continue. But how do you go about breaking up with someone you've pretended to be nothing but happy with for the past 7 months?
