Part 4- Six Months Later

Disclaimer- Everwood doesn't belong to me. Neither does Ephram, and that's sad. Read, review, and enjoy!

A/N- I started writing this right after I posted part three, but I wasn't sure if I'd post this, because I wasn't sure it would fit with the rest of the story. Then, on Tuesday morning, I read some of my reviews, and I found that someone suggested this very thing. Remember, character thoughts are between the asterisks' Anywho, here it goes.

She slipped the keys out of the ignition, and put them in her purse. *It's funny* Amy thought. *When most girls get their license, they drive to the mall or the movies with friends, but not me, I go to the cemetery*

She picked up the flowers she had brought, and made her way to Ephram's grave. *It's just me Ephram. Can you believe I turned sixteen last week? I drove here all by myself. It took me forever to get Bright to lend me the keys to his truck; he has some big date tonight. I brought you these. *

Amy stooped to place the flowers on the ground. She always brought two roses; one yellow and one red.

*My parents gave me piano lessons for my birthday Ephram. I'm going to learn how to play, just like you. I want to learn to play the song you wrote for me. Who knows, someday, if I get good enough, maybe I'll write a song for you. *

Spring had come to Everwood that week, but today was cloudy and grey. It felt more like November than May. Amy shivered and zipped up her jacket.

*Colin has a new girlfriend, she's new here and she's really nice. Bright is trying to set me up with some of his friends, but I'm not ready yet Ephram, I still miss you too much. *

Tears welled up in Amy's eyes. How had she made it through these six months without Ephram? It had been so hard, but somehow she's done it. Amy checked her watch. She had to be home soon, Bright needed the truck for his date.

*I have to go Ephram, but I'll come back soon. I- I love you. *

As she made her way back to the truck, tears began to roll down Amy's cheeks. Climbing into the truck, she searched her purse for the keys. All at once, the sun broke through the clouds. Amy stopped crying and looked up at the sky. The first six months without Ephram had been torture, but maybe the next six wouldn't be quite so bad. She just had to take things one day at a time.

The End

A/N- Et voila! My first Everwood fiction that's longer than one chapter is complete!

I have some ideas for a few more stories, but depending on school, it may take me awhile to post them.

A big hug to Alie who not only proof reads everything I write before it's posted, but keeps me sane during second period history! If you have time, check out Alie's Black Hawk Down fic. It's called White Roses and it's amazing.

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed this story, all your positive comments really helped me get this story finished.

Be sure to check out my other Everwood fic, it's called Wanting Her.

Lots of love, O_o NIV o_O
