Shattered Life: Chapter 6: Feeling Glad! Feeling Bad...

Ephram's POV

I walked up to her door and thought for a second...should I really do this? I don't know. I knocked on the door.

"Hey!" She said as she opened the door and grabbed her coat. "Come in!"

"Hey...what's up?" I asked nervously.

"Oh nothing as usual." She said looking at me and smiling.

"You look nice." I said looking at her in her nice blue jeans and cream colored sweater with her hair down and curled and actually combed.

"And you look nervous, but thanks...You look pretty nice yourself." She said looking me up and down and then giving me a smile.

"Ha! Well I guess I am a little."

"See?! Let's go okay?"

"Sure..." I said not wanting to walk out the door.

"C'mon!" She said pushing me out the door and then locking it behind her.

"Okay! Okay!" I said as we walked down the steps and towards downtown, Everwood if thats what you could call it.

She started skipping and singing. Then turned around and stopped and said, "I say pizza!"
"I agree! That sounds pretty good! Gino Chang's it is!" I said with this sort of excitement I was happy to have.

We walked by each other for a while in silence it was nice. I looked at her as she looked at the sky.

"I love nights like these." she said quietly as she watched the sky.

"Yeah...so do I..." I said looking up at the sky then at her. She looked back at me. I started to lean in but she looked away.

"Look we're almost there let's run!" She said pointing at Gino Chang's then grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

"Ahh! Okay sure" I said running along as she still held my hand and pulled me with her.

Amy's POV

I sat there...lost in my own world. "Amy? Amy? Would you like some more to drink?"

"Oh...um...no thanks." I said snapping out of it.

"Okay." A lady said grabbing my drink cup.

"So how was school today Amy?" My dad asked taking another slice of cold pizza.

"Uh...great." I said trying to sound enthusiastic.

"Well that's good...anything special happen?" He asked taking a bite.

"No..." I said lying and looking down at the table. I started tacing things with my fingers on the table.

"Oh." He said surprised.

I looked over to the other table and saw Ephram and some girl. I starred.

"Amy, don't stare it's rude."

"Huh? Oh, oh okay." I said waking up from the trance I was in. Why was Ephram with someone else? Why wasn't he with me? Following me around? Trying to get me to go out with him? Oh yeah Amy you got him mad about something you were never suppose to tell him! I slammed my fist against the table. My dad jumped.

"Amy? You okay?" He asked a little startled and confused.

"Yeah...Yeah I'm fine...Can we get going?" I asked ready to go.

"Sure." He said as he stood up and put his coat on. "We can go rent a movie or something."

"You know Dad how about we just go home. I'm kind of tired."

"Sure...no problem kiddo." He said grabbing me into a hug and kissing me on the head. I smiled a fake up at him.

"Thanks dad."

"Yeah..." He said sounding like he was trying not sound disappointed.

I took one more glance at Ephram as I walked out the door. He didn't look at me all night...
