Jones. It's really pretty and she is an amazing singer! Enjoy and review!
Disclaimer: I confess.I own Everwood. I am making millions of dollars off
this story! Muah haha! Wait...no! I also don't own the song "Feelin' the
Same Way", Norah Jones does.
Just Another Day
Chapter Four: Feelin' the Same Way
Ephram watched as Amy disappeared into the darkness. He looked down at the
envelope she had given him. He smiled a little and then headed inside.
"So, was it a good birthday?" asked Andy, as Ephram entered the family
room.
"You could say that." Ephram remarked.
"Good." Smiled Andy.
"I'm going to bed." Ephram announced, as he headed upstairs.
"Ok, but be quiet. Nonny and Delia are asleep." Andy instructed him.
Ephram continued upstairs, but paused for a second, and turned around.
"Hey Dad?" he started.
"Yes?" Andy asked.
"Thanks." Ephram remarked, softly, but sincerely. "For everything."
Andy smiled. For once, Ephram wasn't blaming him for something, or telling
him how much he hated him. He was genuinely thanking him. It was a brief
moment, but Andy sensed it was the beginning of a better relationship with
his son.
"You're welcome." Andy replied. Ephram headed back upstairs quietly, but
Andy could have sworn he saw his son smile.
Ephram reached his bedroom and shut the door beside him. He lay down on his
bed, took the envelope in his hands, and carefully opened it. He took out
the sheet of paper it contained. He studied it and immediately recognized
Amy's neat script. It was a letter. Ephram began to read it.
"Dear Ephram,
I know this is completely dorky, and you are probably laughing as you read
it, but I wanted you to know exactly what you mean to me, and I didn't
think I would be able to tell you face to face, so I wrote it. That sounds
totally lame, and I am cringing as I write, but here it goes."
Ephram smiled at this. She seemed so confident all the time, but now she
was showing a different side of herself. And it was causing Ephram to fall
for her all over again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets.
I've read the words before so now I know
time has come again for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ephram continued to read. "You and your family moving to Everwood is one of the best things to happen to me. Your friendship has been one of the few things I have been able to depend on these past few months. Basically, you've kept me sane. You are my rock."
Ephram sighed. How did she do that? How could she make him feel so important, so needed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I never thought I would find someone that would understand me, how I think, how I feel. But you do just that. You get me. I know that I am not so appreciative all the time, but you should know that I will be forever grateful for what you have done; what you are doing: being my friend." Her friend. There, he had it on paper. He was Amy's friend. He knew it all along, but to see it confirmed on paper made him strangely satisfied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look like they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
I hope I reach it once again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You have helped me so much. You put aside your own emotions about your own tragedies, and you were there for me. You were the one who came with me to Denver all those times. You were the one who stayed with me the day of Colin's surgery. You. Not Bright, not Kayla, not Page, you. That is true friendship." Ephram couldn't believe how complex Amy was. It must have taken a lot for her to open up to him. He was happy he was the person she chose to do so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know that things will be different when Colin comes home. But I also know that we will always have a special relation ship. I hope you know that too. You will always be part of me. I can only hope that someday I will be able to do for you what you did for me."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So many times I've wondered where I've gone
and how I found my way back in
I look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it and then
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, in case this makes no sense whatsoever, thank you. Thank you for coming to Everwood, thank you for putting up with me, and thank you for your unconditional friendship. Happy Birthday Ephram! Love, Amy"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ephram folded the letter, and lay back. He smiled to himself. This was definitely the best birthday. Even if Amy was only a friend at the moment, he had fallen in love all over again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
No matter how much I pretend.
