Chapter #3
At the browns Residence
Ephram was upstairs in his room scrounging around for a few last things he needed for the outing. He was happy to be going somewhere and not just staying home doing the same old shit all day every day but he still didn't really feel comfortable around the Abbots. I mean come on. If you were him you wouldn't either. I mean Bright hates him and Amy and him… well lets just say they don't seam to great around each other.
"Dad!" Ephram yelled down stairs to his dad, "Where's my towel?" Ephram was searching every where for his favorite towel. He had no clue why he was asking his dad. It not like he knew anything, but why not give it a shot. Who knows? His dad might not be as dumb as he thought he was.
It was a black towel with his name written it big bold red letters in the middle. His mother gave it to him on his 15th birthday just before she died. He was 17 now. It had been about 2 years since that tragic accident. He loved the towel so much cause it was one of the only things he had from his mother and it helped him remember her.
"It should be in the bathroom under the sink." Andy yelled back upstairs to him. He didn't really think it was there but being well… I guess you could say almost a new dad he didn't want Ephram to think he wasn't very good at parenting. Ephram already knew his dad sucked at it though.
"Thanks." Ephram quickly ran to the bathroom. Supriseingly the towel was there. Wow! That was a first. His dad doesn't usually know anything. Maybe his dad wasn't that bad at this Parenting job as he thought.
Just then the doorbell rang. Before Ephram could grab it Delia was already there. She slowly turned the handle and peeked out throughout the crack to see who it was. She was used to being in New York were you never could be too careful. For all you know the person knocking could be a serial killer.
"Hey there," Colin said stairing at Delia through the crack, "Are you going to let me in or do I have to stand here all day?" Colin had a big smile across his face. He was wearing blue jean with his letterman jacket.
"Well I…" Delia was interrupted by her brother.
"Sure come in. I'll be ready in a second. Have a seat." Ephram said opening the door for Colin to come in. And with that he ran upstairs to grab his bag. He still had this gut feeling like he shouldn't go but he'd do anything to get out of this house.
Delia stared at Colin. He was sitting on the bench by the door. "You must be Colin." Delia said to him. He wasn't what she expected him to look like.
"Well then you guessed correct." Colin wasn't really sure why Delia was looking at him funny but he didn't really care. Colin looked around the house. The house looked pretty tidy exempt for all the left over Pizza boxes stacked by the door. "Man! You sure are pizza people." Collin said to Delia.
"Yah," Delia replied, "Lets just say my dads not the best chef."
"Ok lets go." Ephram said to Colin while walking down the stairs.
"Ok. Bye … Umm … what did you say your name was?" Collin said to Delia.
"Delia." Delia said looking up at him. He was like a giant compared to her.
"Well Delia. It was a pleasure to meet you." Collin replied shaking Delia's hand.
"Lets go." Collin said turning to Ephram. They both grabbed their bags and walked out the door.
Ephram was looking down at the ground trying not to think of 'her' for at least a little while. (Amy). It was finny. He loved her and hated her at the same time. Life's not fair and Ephram Brown's life definitely proved it.
"Wait!" Delia yelled from behind them. Ephram turned around. Delia had her arms stretched out waiting for a hug goodbye. Ephram suddenly had a flash back to when his mother was standing at their front door in New York. It was his first day at JK (junior kindergarten). His mom called him back to the door for a hug goodbye before his dad drove him to school. Ephram could feel the warm tears building up in his eyes but he forced them to stay in.
Ephram shook his head to get back to reality.
"Ok I'm coming." Ephram said to Delia. He walked back up to her and gave her a big hug and kissed her on the cheek. A smile grew on her face that stretched from ear to ear. "Oh yah, and tell dad I'm leaving." Ephram said while walking back to the car.
"I will." And with that Delia closed the front door and ran to her dad to tell her dad with the biggest smile on her face.
Ephram sat in the front passenger seat. Colin was driving of course seeing as it was his car. It was fairly quiet. Neither of them knew what to say.
"So!," Colin said finally trying to break the silence, "That sure is one cute sister you got their. What was her name again?" Colin looked over at him. Ephram was looking down at his feet. Colin could tell there was something wrong.
"Delia! Her name is Delia!" Ephram yelled harshly. Ephram didn't mean for it to come out like that but guess what. It did.
"Yo man. Take it easy. I was just asking. Is there something wrong?" Colin asked looking at him with deep concern. Colin had never seen him act like this other then to his dad or if he was in a fight with…Amy! It had to be Amy. 'Ephram and Amy hadn't been talking for about a week know,' Colin thought to himself, 'That had to be it. How could I have been so stupid?'
"No nothing wrong, I just… d-don't really want to…" Ephram was interupted by Colin.
"Its Amy isn't it? You and Amy are in a fight. That's why I can tell you don't really want to come." Colin was very proud of himself. He had only known Ephram for about a month or 2 but he could already read his mind. Wow! He was getting good at this memory thing.
"Some times you scare me," Ephram said to Colin, "You've practically just met me and you can already read me like a book." Ephram looked up at Colin with a smile on his face. His dad didn't even know him that well and he had lived with him his whole life.
"Hey! I'm Colin. What did you expect?" Colin looked back at Ephram with his hundred $ smile.
Collin suddenly turned a corner only to reveal the Abbots humble home. Ephram twitched. He couldn't stop thinking of all the times he was with Amy and all those perfect moments they had together. And then Colin. Damb why did he have to come back? He loved Amy so much. He didn't stand a chance against Colin. He wished he could tell Amy his true feeling. Would she understand? Would she care? He just wanted to scream with frustration.
