The Mourning After
PG-13
I do not own any of the characters in this story; they all belong to the WB.
Ephram got home, ate a little bit, but less than his father thought, and then went up to his room. He told his dad he was going to sleep, but for some reason he wasn't tired, at all.
That song kept coming back to him, the one that Amy was singing before:
You'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears,
You'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
I've held you hand through all of theses years,
But you still have,
All of me...
There was more to it he knew, but he didn't know what. It felt like she had been singing that to him, but even if she was it wasn't true, they had only known each other a little over a year, but it did feel like forever.
He kept humming the tune to it, no matter how much he wanted it out of his head. Finally he though of an idea, he walked over to his computer and searched for that song online...The only thing that popped up was a song called My Immortal by Evanescence, "I might as well try it." He said as he clicked the lyrics to the song, it was the right one...He had found the song Amy had been singing.
He downloaded it and listened to it several times, for some reason he couldn't stop smiling. He knew it was stupid, and he read what it was from, it was from the Daredevil movie, he guessed Amy had seen it recently, or else she wouldn't be singing it.
It turned out he fell asleep to that song, but he fell asleep early into the morning, he had done a little bit of schoolwork, but not nearly enough to catch him up, and he had listened to more songs by Evanescence...The group was pretty good, but nothing Ephram would ever admit.
He fell asleep at 5am the next day. His alarm was turned off, and he didn't turn it back on, so when his dad walked in at 6am seeing he wasn't awake yet, Andy just let his son sleep, "He needs it, he's had a rough month." Nobody could believe it had nearly been a month since Ephram met Annette, but it had...He had gone through so many things, and those things made it seem like time was faster than the speed of light, which is obviously impossible.

Ephram woke up at 10:36am and jumped out of bed, "Dad, why didn't you wake me up?" He looked all around his house but nobody was home, "Dad?" Andy had gone to work without bothering to even tell Ephram that he was late for school, "Well I can't go now. I'm too late."
Just then the phone rang, but Ephram was letting the machine get it.
BEEP..."Hey Ephram, it's Amy, I was just calling to see if you were alright, you aren't at school today and I was a little worried, but I'm sure you just slept late or something. If you still want to come to school Bright can pick you up at lunch, he'll be in the cafeteria at about noon, so you can call me then and I'll tell him. Or, if you're just standing by your machine listening to this, which I know you are, pick up the phone now and I can send him to get you..."
Ephram picked up the phone and smiled, "You amaze me sometimes."
Amy laughed, "What can I say? It's just part of my charm! So, do you want Bright to pick you up or not?"
Ephram stood there for a second and thought about it, "Yeah sure, school won't make my day any worse...At least I hope it won't." Amy giggled a little bit and she was telling someone something, Ephram assumed it was Bright that she was talking to, telling him to get over to the Brown's house, "I have to get ready, so I guess I'll see you at school, Aims."
"Okay that's fine, I'll see you then." Amy hung up her phone and put it back into her pocket, "Go pick him up and make sure he's okay. Ephram's been acting really strange lately."
"I'm sure he's fine, Amy, he's always been strange, it just took you this long to see that I guess." He joked around and Amy hit him on his shoulder as he walked away, "Did you think that would hurt?" She punched him harder and he winced a little, "Ok, I won't mess with you again, I surrender, I'll go get the guy, jeez." He walked down the hall and grabbed his keys out of his pocket and walked out of the school.
"Let's hope Ephram is going to be able to handle another day in hell." Bright muttered to himself as he opened his truck door. He had things planned for Ephram, things he didn't plan on telling anyone until he already did them.
