Disclaimers: I do not own this show, the music, or the characters. I'm just a regular teen who wrote a fan fiction about the wonderful show Everwood.
Summary: When Ephram finally decides to tell Amy how he feels, he is trapped with her in a room full of angst, tears, and love. Find out what happens! My first fan-fiction! Please read/review! From Amy and Ephram's P/O/V's.
Rating: PG-13
Thanks to: Moonlightdancer: I guess it was somewhat out of character for Andy and Amy, but I had to make Ephram and Amy together. Don't worry; Colin won't be left out of the story. He'll be in a later chapter. Jen, Hilary, Frodo, Fishgirl, Ditey, Videl757, all the anonymous reviewers, and Lauren. A lot of you mentioned all the fluff and romance in this, saying it was good. Well I agree with you guys, sappy-romance-lovers are the best! And Gnat10886: I didn't forget you. Thanks for the review. P.S. I read your story, it was great (the one about the booklover girl and the Superman guy, gosh, I can't remember what it's called, sorry!)
BEFORE YOU READ: this story takes place after the episode 'Till Death Do Us Part' when Colin wakes up and Ephram and Amy kiss at the mine.
Chapter 6
"... Delia? What are you talking about Ephram?" Amy asked confused.
"Oh, god. Amy, I forgot. I promised Delia that I'd rent her a movie to make up for Willy Wonka. The Oompa Loompa's really freaked her out ... damn." Ephram scrambled out from under the desk. He had sworn to Delia that he'd get her something better; it would be their night. They'd watch the movie, hang out, eat junk food; he had to be there. She had been upset lately because he had been pre-occupied, and now, ugh, he was upset. * I'm becoming my father, making promises and breaking them. *He hated himself just then, and swore at himself for forgetting. He was pacing around the room, head in his hands, muttering God-knows-what. When he reached the wall, he pounded it with his fist, turned around, and started his pacing again. Amy ran up to him and stopped him. She took his hands, twined her fingers with his, and spoke to him gently. He leaned his head on her shoulder, and reluctantly cried a bit. * She can't see me like this! She just can't! Uggh! I hate this! * He thought to himself.
"It's OK Ephram. Calm down, calm down, shhh, it's gonna be just fine... just fine ... just," she cradled him in her arms and whispered this to him over and over again. He started to calm down as she repeated those words, and smelled her shampoo. * She's going to think I'm a wimp! I'm not a wimp! I can take care of myself! I don't need a girl to support me! I'm strong; I lasted in New York for 15 years! I can take this by myself, I can ... * His legs gave out and he collapsed in her arms before he regained control of his body. * Oh, smooth, very smooth Ephram. Why don't you just pass out while you're at it! I'll bet she really likes you know! God I'm such a loser. * Amy set Ephram down on a desk.
"I'm sure we can do something Ephram. I'm positive, just calm down It's gonna be OK." Amy ended. She sat in the desk next to his and unzipped her purse. She brushed her waist long hair out of the way and looked in. "Aha!" she exclaimed as she pulled out her cell phone. Ephram didn't want to leave, he just wanted to talk to Delia. He knew this was a once in a lifetime experience; no one ever gets stuck in a room with their crush. This was what you saw in the movies and on TV, not in real life! But he knew calling Delia would mean leaving, and maybe missing the chance of a lifetime.
* What if Amy forgets all this, what if we get to school on Monday and treats me like normal again, as if none of this ever happened? Oh God, what if she makes me go to visit Colin with her again? I don't think I can handle that! I... *
"Ephram, we can call your house! We can get out of here! You can call your sister, and I can call Bright, and it'll all be good!" Ephram's eyes sank when she mentioned Bright. Ephram knew that if Bright came and saw Ephram with his sister; hell, if he knew Ephram had kissed his sister, he would beat the shit out of him.
* This sucks * Ephram thought.
"Or maybe I'll just call my dad." Amy added, obviously realizing all of that about Bright too. Not like calling her father would be much better. "Maybe we'll just call your sister." Amy didn't want to leave either, but she thought she might starve if she didn't get out. Ephram's stomach growled loudly. He scolded himself once more and looked down as if he were embarrassed. "Don't worry about it. I'm hungry too," Amy said. She held them cell phone out for Ephram.
"We could just order some pizza, you know, we don't have to leave!" Ephram said half jokingly.
"Ephram." Amy convinced him. Ephram reached for Amy's cell phone. She handed it to him and he dialed the numbers reluctantly and held his breath.
* Here goes nothing, * he thought as it started ringing. The phone rang six times before anyone answered. Just before the machine picked up, the phone was answered.
"Hello?" came a little girl's voice over the other end.
"Hey," he answered breathlessly as he exhaled.
"Ephram?" the voice asked, a bit squeakily.
"Yeah,"
"Oh," she said as she hung up the phone. Ephram heard the dial tone, as turned to Amy.
A/N: Haha! CLIFFHANGER! Oooh, I'm so evil! (Evil cackle!) I'm kidding. Thank you guys for reading this. I am so sorry I took so long to update, I had a massive English project due. Well, once again, reviews are taken kindly!
Love,

P.S. I'll have another story out there soon called "Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood" from the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken". Read it if you'd like. It's also an Everwood-y.
