Amy laid awake in her bed, she couldn't fall asleep. After about half an
hour she got out of bed and opened the door opposite hers. The room was
dark, and quiet. She walked to the bed and gently shook Ephram's shoulder.
"Go away Delia." Ephram said quiet. She shook a little more. Finally Ephram opened his eyes, and looked at her. "Amy?" She nodded.
"Can I sleep here with you?" she asked.
"What time is it?" He said, he didn't seem to have heard her question
"About 1.30am" she answered. "Well can I?" she asked again.
"What?"
"Can I sleep here with you?"
"Huh?" Amy sighed.
"Never mind" she headed to the door and opened it.
"No, wait, yeah, come here" She heard. Amy smiled to herself and closed the door again, and went back to the bed. Ephram moved and made room in the single bed for her. Amy crawled in and he put his arm around her. Soon Amy fell asleep to Ephram's heavy breathing.
The sun shined through the window and woke Amy up. She rubbed her eyes and saw Ephram beside her, still holding her. She removed his arm and was just about to get out of bed, when she felt an arm dragging her back.
"Where are you going?" Ephram asked and grinned.
"I'm going back to my room" she said and smiled.
"No, you can't go yet" Ephram replied and hugged her.
"Do you really want your dad to find us here?" She said and sat up. Ephram didn't argue, instead he got up too.
"Where are you going" Amy asked.
"Toilet" was his reply
Amy went down the stairs, followed by Ephram. Andy and Delia were already there. Andy was by the stove, trying to make pancakes.
"Hey, let me give you a hand" Amy said as she took the pan out of Andy's big hands.
"Amy, you made us dinner last night, you don't have to make breakfast too" Andy said.
"Well, that's true, we all made dinner" she replied and smiled "besides, I like to cook"
"And she probably makes better pancakes too" Delia said and took a sip out of her orange juice. Andy sighed and stepped back.
"Fine" Just then the phone rang.
"I'll get it!" Ephram said and headed to the phone.
"So, how many?" Amy asked as she flipped one pancake over.
"Three" Delia answered. Just then Ephram came back.
"That was a short conversation" Andy said. "who was it?"
"Chad, he wants me to come to his house and hang with the guys" He looked at Amy like he was asking for permission.
"What?" She asked when she saw his expression.
"Is it okey if I go?" He asked.
"Of course! I would only expect you to" She said and smiled.
"Hey, but you can't go today Ephram, I'm going to visit the hospital" Andy said. "You gotta stay and watch Delia"
"Oh, well. I'll just call and say that I'll come tomorrow instead." Ephram replied.
"No, no, it's okey, I'll go tomorrow" was Andy's reply.
"Hello? if it hasn't gone through your mind, I'm 15 and fully capable to watch Delia, you know" Amy said surprised when she discovered that they both forgot about her. "I'm not gonna loose her or something." She smiled. "It's not like I'm going to stroll around town, all by my self anyway." Amy gave a little laugh. "You guys can go"
"Well-" Andy said
"It's okey Amy, I'll go tomorrow" Ephram cut his father off.
"No, don't be ridiculous, If I've been out of town for over a year, and then come back to visit, I would visit my friends, so I only expect you to do the same" Amy said as she put a plate of perfect golden brown pancakes in front of him. "Besides, it'll be fun! Right Delia, just the two of us girls" Delia smiled back at her
"Yeah!"
"Well, what can I say, Amy, you're a lifesaver" Andy said as he dug in, in his pile of pancakes.
About one hour later both Andy and Ephram was out, leaving Delia and Amy alone, together on the couch.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" Delia asked.
"Sure!" Was Amy's reply.
"Okey, I have Lion King, the Little Mermaid, Lassie and Pongo"
"Let's watch The Little Mermaid" Amy said with a smile.
"Okey!"
Delia popped the video in, and they watched it together. It had been so long since Amy saw this movie, it was the perfect love story. She smiled in content when the movie ended.
"What now?" Delia asked the second the movie ended.
"Ehm. do you want to play a game?" Amy suggested.
"Yeah! Let's play cards!"
"Good idea"
Amy watched as the little girl ran up to her room and got the cards. She could hear how Delia searched for them. Amy smiled to herself and went to help her. Delia's room wasn't big, but it was really nice. Amy looked around on the walls and saw pictures of the Brown family there.
"Wow, this place is beautiful, where is this taken?" Amy asked and pointed on a picture with Delia, Ephram and their mother.
"That's Niagara Falls" Delia said and smiled. "Dad took the picture, it was great! We fed birds and ate the best smoothie ever!" Delia said and stared to giggle. Amy smiled.
"Your mom was beautiful" She said and touched the picture. "You look just like her"
"I do?" Delia asked surprised.
"Yeah"
"Amy?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad you're going out with Ephram" Amy smiled.
"Me too"
"Do you wanna go to the zoo tomorrow?" Delia asked exited.
"Sure, you wanna drag Ephram and your dad along with us?"
"Yeah! Last time I were there, they had a white tiger baby! And monkeys! And a HUGE snake!" Amy smiled at the little girls excitement. She remembered how she herself used to love the zoo.
"You really missed this place, didn't you?" Amy asked
"Yeah, but I don't think that I would want to live here again."
"No?"
"Everwood grows on you" She said and smiled. "Found them!" Delia took Amy's hand and dragged her down stairs.
"Go away Delia." Ephram said quiet. She shook a little more. Finally Ephram opened his eyes, and looked at her. "Amy?" She nodded.
"Can I sleep here with you?" she asked.
"What time is it?" He said, he didn't seem to have heard her question
