A couple weeks later, on a Friday night, Amy woke up screaming after a horrible dream. Her parents and brother came running in to see her curled up in a little ball, crying. They all went running to her to try and calm her down, but it wasn't working. Bright looked at his mom, who was holding and rocking Amy, telling her that it was ok, that it had just been a bad dream. Bright walked over next to him mom and set down next to her. "Mom. The three of us isn't going to be enough to calm her down." Bright said softly to his mom, reaching out to his sister and brushing some tears away.
"What should we do Bright?" She asked
"Call Ephram." He said to her, looking worriedly at Amy.
"Why should we call him?" Mr. Abbot asked with disgust in his voice.
"Because dad, he has been the only one lately that has really shown Amy that he gives a crap. If you haven't notice, they have become inseparable. He has helped her in a lot of ways that we haven't been able to. That some of us wouldn't try to do. He makes her laugh when she is upset like this. So dad, that is WHY we should call him." Bright informed his dad.
"It's too late to call anyone right now and I don't want that punk in my house at night. So Amy you will just have to brave up and go back to sleep. It was only a dream." He said in a firm voice. At this comment Bright got rather ticked off
"Dad!! Look at her, she is in pain, he makes her feel better. Don't you want her to feel better? Dad you use to do anything for Amy. What happened?" Bright said angrily to his father.
"Yes I want her to feel better, but she is fine, just shaken up from the dream. That is why we aren't going to call Ephram, or anyone right now. We well call him tomorrow. " He said, his voice softer, walking over to Amy and hugging her. He then turned and left the room.
Amy had stopped crying but couldn't go to sleep. Their mom looked tired, but kept talking to her. Bright watched his mom and sister. He saw how tired his mom was, and how scared his sister looked.
"Mom, go to bed, I'll stay with Amy." Bright said gently. His mom looked at him, then looked down at Amy.
"Ok. But if either of you need anything don't hesitate to come and get me." She said, more to Bright than Amy.
"I will mom." Bright assured her, and she turned and went to bed.
Bright scooted over closer to Amy and pulled her into his arms, hoping that she would feel safe enough to go to sleep.
"Bright? How did you know that Ephram was helping me?" She asked him, not realizing how obvious it was.
"Amy, I saw it, I have been watching you two for the past few weeks. I can see how he has been helping you. He also told me, about what happened, the day you and dad had that fight." He said softly rubbing her back.
"Oh. Thanks for telling dad." She said sleepily.
"No prob Amy, now try and get some sleep. I won't leave you." He said in a gentle brotherly way.
"Ok." She said snuggling closer to Bright, feeling safe, in her big brother's arms, and fell into a somewhat peaceful sleep. Bright smiled and fell asleep.
The next morning Bright was woken up by his mother gently shaking him.
"What is it Mom?" he asked her. Ephram is on the phone, wanting to know how Amy is. He said that last night something woke him up but he didn't know what it was. He was afraid that something was wrong with Amy, but was afraid that if he called that he would have been wrong and would have woken her up. So he went back to sleep telling himself that he would call when he woke up." She explained, "Do you want to tell him what happened?"
"Yea sure." Bright said, and she handed him the phone. "Ephram?"
"Yea, Is she ok?" Ephram asked.
"Yea she is now, she had a pretty bad dream and was pretty upset. But don't beat yourself up about not calling. I tried to explain to dad about us needing to call you but he wouldn't have any of it and walked out of the room. My mom and I calmed her down. I made my mom go to bed and stayed with her, got her to go to sleep, by promising her that we would see you today." Bright explained to him.
"So she got back to sleep?" Ephram asked.
"Yep, she still is actually." Bright said.
"That's good." Ephram replied. "So what should we do?"
"Well I don't think she will feel like going anywhere. How about we stay here and watch TV. That should make her feel better." Bright suggested.
"Sounds good to me. When do you want me over there?" He asked.
"How about coming over now? You can see how peaceful she looks right now." He suggested.
"Ok sounds good to me. Be over there in a few minutes." Ephram said.
"Ok, see ya then." He said and they hung up. Bright leaned back a little more smiling at his sleeping little sister. He heard the door bell a few minutes later and smiled.
"Your hero's here Amy." He said under his breath so as not to wake her up. Just then Ephram came in and grinned at Amy's peaceful state.
"Ahh, she is so cute. Do we have to wake her up?" Ephram asked.
"We don't but you do?" Bright said grinning wickedly at him.
"Smart ass. I thought you had started to like me." Ephram said faking hurt feelings.
" I do just don't want to have to be the one to be the one to wake her up. " Bright grinned getting up and leaving the room.
"Smart ass. This ought to be fun." He said to himself and set down next to Amy on the bed. He bent down next to her. "Amy wake up, time to have a little fun."
"No!!!" she said rolling over.
"Come on Amy, open those gorgeous eyes of yours. You, Bright and I are going to hang out here, and watch TV. You don't even have to change out of your pj. Come on, you can curl up next to me." He told her. Amy turned around and looked at him. She glared and got out of bed and walked out of the room.
"WOW!! No wonder Bright didn't want to wake her up. She isn't much of a morning person." He muttered to himself only to get hit upside the head by Amy who had been waiting outside the door. .
"Owww. That hurt." He screamed and she giggled.
OK that is about all I can think of right now, I hope you enjoyed it The next part should be more interesting, I hope. Please review and give me some hints or something. I need feedback.
