Something To Sleep To

Disclaimer: I don't own the song. That's Michelle Branch's. And I don't own the charaters. But I wouldn't mind owning Gregory Simth. He's hot.

She's his yellow brick road

Leading him on

And letting him go as far

as she lets him go

Going down to nowhere

Amy leaned in and kissed Ephram. She was going out with Colin, but she couldn't help it. He was so cute, especially that smirk. Besides, Colin would never find out. He hadn't found out about the last two.

Ephram couldn't believe it. He was kissing Amy. This was a very rare occurance. Hell, talking to her was a rare occurance. But what would happen if Colin found out? Nothing good that was for sure. Colin was a little off lately.

*****

She puts on her make-up

The same way she did yesterday

Hoping everything's the same

But everything has changed

|*|*|*|*|*|

She had to pretand like nothing was wrong. If something was wrong Colin would know, and she would have to tell him. And she couldn't tell him. She was friends with Ephram. Nothing more. But he would want to talk about what was going on. God, why did life have to be so complicated sometimes? Well okay, just avoid Ephram. thats not hard. And she took that acting class once, sh could fake it with Colin until she could figure it all out. Yeah that would work... for now.

In my mind

Everything we did was right

Open your eyes, I'll still be by your side

How could I ever have been so blind?

You give me something to sleep to at night

Ephram lay on his bed, looking up at the ceiling. He has kissed Amy three different times now, and she's still with that jackass. He couldn't believe it. He loved her, and she didn't love him back. She barely liked him. She was in love with golden boy. He didn't know why he kept trying. But despite it all, he had this feeling in the pit of his stomach, telling him that it was the right thing he was doing. That eventually it would pay off. That he still needed to be there for Amy.

*****

He wakes up to the sound

So scared that she's leaving

He wishes she were still

asleep next to him

Hoping she will change

|*|*|*|*|*|

She couldn't believe it. She had actually done it. She had slept with Colin. And then she left. It was like a hit-and-run accident. She wasn't even there when he woke up. He's probably sitting there thinking "what a crappy girlfriend".

Colin knew why Amy left. She was scared. He just wished that for once, she wasn't so scared. That one time when something went wrong, she wouldn't go running. It wasn't so bad that she left, but she always went running to that Ephram guy.

Everything we did was right

Open your eyes, I'll still be by your side

How could I ever have been so blind?

You give me something to sleep to

at night

Amy ran to Ephram's house. She didn't care that it was the middle of the night. She knew where his room was. She would climb up through his window if she had to she just really needed to talk to him. She found the smallest rocks in the yard and started throwing them at his window. Finally, after about twenty minutes, and thirty rocks, he came and looked out the window.

"Amy, what the hell? Why are you here? It's two in the morning."

"Ephram! Ephram, I've done something stupid,"

"What? Hold on. I'll be right down."

*****

You give me something to sleep to

And all I know is

You give me something to dream to when I'm all alone and blue

Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

|*|*|*|*|*|

Amy had collapsed on Ephram's lawn and was crying by the time he got outside.

"Amy what happened?"

"I slept with him," she said between sobs.

"What?"

"I don't know why I did it. It seemed right at the time."

Ephram turned to leave. He never had a shot with Amy now. He didn't even know why she was here, why she was telling him.

"Please. Ephram. Don't leave. I need you. You're the only one that understands.

You give me something to sleep to

Something to sleep to

Something to sleep to at night

He turned back around to face her. She looked gorgous just then. Her hair in disarray, no makeup, her shirt on backwards, her pants sort of rumpled, tears streaming down he face. She didn't look fake. She had lost every fake quality about her and all that was left was the real Amy.

Then calmly, quietly, he asked "Why?"

"I don't know."

"It's okay. It's all gonna be okay," he said as he slowly walked over and wrapped his arms around her.

"How do you know?" she asked looking into his eyes for the first time that night.

"Because I'll always be here, right by your side."
