Chapter-1
The harsh weather of Everwood had reached the middle point of winter in mid January. It was just another day in the small town of Everwood, Colorado with the miner addition of a new resident being its top news. Gossip spread quickly throughout the little town of Everwood and the news on today's menu was one of Everwood's very own coming home. Her name is Emily Abbott, Edna Harper's own granddaughter and Dr. Abbott's niece. Everyone knew that Edna had another son, but it was very rarely spoken of, so this was big news for the everwood residents. So here the story starts, with young Ephram Brown visiting the Abbotts.
A Knocking sounds through the Abbott home as Ephram softly knocks on the door. A sigh is heard within the house as Bright opens the door up," What do you want?" Bright asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Is Amy home?" Ephram asked politely none-the-less.
"No, geek. She's with my dad at the airport in Denver. My cousin is flying in and they're there to greet her. Is there anything else I could help you with before I slam the door in your face?"
"Somebody's in a particularly bad mood today. What's wrong Bright? Did ya wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Ephram asked sarcastically.
"Hardy-har-har. Have a nice day," Bright said with a false smile before he slammed the door shut.
Ephram walked away from the door just has the rest of the Abbott family arrived. Amy jumped from the car and quickly greeted him.
"What are you doing here Ephram?" Amy asked
"I stopped to ask if you wanted to join Delia and me. We're going sledding and Delia wanted to know if you could come along."
"I would Ephram, but my cousin just arrived and I have to get her settled. Oh right, I almost forgot. Emily?" Amy turned and called towards the trunk of the car where a young girl of fifteen appeared from behind it. She had long blonde hair that was layered and reached her mid-back. She was about half an inch shorter than Amy and owned a pair of pretty green eyes. She smiled a bright smile as she approached the two," Ephram this is my cousin Emily, Em, this is Ephram."
Emily smiled and shook Ephram's hand, "It's very nice to meet you."
"You too. So what brings you to Everwood?"
" I felt the need for normalcy and L.A. is anything but normal. I decided I wanted to come home to Everwood and Uncle Harold was kind enough to let me stay with them for rest of the school year."
"You're from L.A.?" Emily nodded in response, "I know what that's like. I moved here from New York not to long ago."
"Oh, I love New York. My father does a lot business there."
Dr. Abbott came up behind the group carrying a few of Emily's bags, "Emily, could we not mention my brother's horrible career choices right now?"
"Sorry," Emily shrugged
Dr. Abbott rolled his eyes and headed inside, but not before he tripped on a rock and fell flat on his face. He quickly gained his composure and pointed at all three," Not a word about this to anyone. Especially your fathers," he said as he specifically pointed at Emily and Ephram. When he was inside the three burst out in laughter.
"So anyway, I should probably head back home. Delias probably bouncing off the walls."
"Who's Delia?" Emily asked
"Oh my little sister. She wants to go sledding and I agreed to take her, so if you two want to join us you can? We can wait a little longer if you have things to do."
Emily looked at Amy, who shrugged, "We'll have to ask my dad, but we can probably make it. We'll meet you at your house in twenty minutes," Amy said.
"Great see ya then," Ephram said walking away.
Amy quickly went inside, but Emily stood there a minute watching him walk away. When Ephram was about ten steps away he turned around slightly to look at Emily and smiled before continuing to walk home.
"I think I'm going to like it here," She whispered before running inside.
A/N- Hey, I hope you all like the story so far. I'm not making any promises, but I'll try to update the story often. I'm not so good with the updating thing, so don't expect often updates often. I hope this won't change your mind about reading my stories in the future, I just thought I'd give ya fair warning. Enjoy!!!
