Here we go then, here's the second chapter. Some of the language might not
seem American and as I am from England (Okay I know weird? Well I really
like Gregory Smith and when I found out he was in Everwood I became hooked
on the show, ever since I have been downloading the episodes) the stuff
about the ambulance crew (It will become clearer as you read on) will
probably not sound American at all.
Please R&R people it's my fuel: D
This story has taken a turn but everything I do will be leading up to something so please bare with me. None of the characters belong to me...so here is the story...
Everything breaks eventually
Ephram slammed the door and watched Mr Hart scurry away through the window. Hitting the wall in frustration he turned his back on the wall and slid down it, "Damn it" he screamed. All of a sudden Ephram's chest grew tighter, breathing became a struggle taking short gasps he found himself lying on the wooden floor, grabbing at his chest.
Nina pulled up outside the house, she only had a half an hour to drop of the groceries before she went to pick up Delia and Sam, locking her car she noticed Ephram's bike still by the porch. Nina placed the key in the lock but found it already open. Curious she placed one arm under the groceries and pushed the door open with her free hand. "Hello?" she called. Dropping the groceries she was shocked to find Ephram collapsed on the floor. "Oh my god, Ephram" she shouted. Ephram gasped Nina cried out "Ephram wait there I'm going to call your dad". Ephram stopped her and struggled the words "Out.of.town" Nina thought for a moment "Okay wait there I will call an ambulance" Ephram looked around, dazed. Nina came back with a blanket "Stay with me Ephram, the ambulance is on its way." Ephram wheezed. Nina thought for a second and then noticed the brown paper bag, grabbing it she placed it around Ephram's mouth "Take deep breaths for me Ephram, deep breaths." Ephram breathed in to the bag, his breathing became at a rhythmic beat and his chest felt looser. His body relaxed and Ephram's breathing was soon back to normal.
Nina placed a blue coloured cushion underneath Ephram's head, Ephram still felt weak and dizzy. Waiting for the ambulance she stroked his hair and reassured him. The ambulance arrived at the Brown's house. They soon attended to Ephram; they placed a breathing mask over his face. "His breathing has settled, do you think its asthma?" One of the men shook his head, "No it doesn't seem like asthma, my guess is it was some sort of panic attack. We will give him some oxygen see how he gets on. If he still feels sick we will take him to hospital but I don't think that will be nessercery. The young man knelt down beside Ephram whilst his partner set the oxygen, "Ephram, how are you feeling." "Weird" The man took of the oxygen mask. "That's hardly surprising, I am going to lift you up now; if you start to feel dizzy then tell me okay?" Ephram nodded his head; the young man and his partner lifted up Ephram and placed him in a sitting position on the sofa. "How do you feel, now? Has the tightness gone from your chest?" Ephram moved his head up and down "Yes, what happened?" Nina sat down next to Ephram, to comfort him, "You had a panic attack honey" "We wont take you in to hospital but if It happens again then all you need to do is breath in to a bag and steady your breathing, if you experience anymore problems I would take him to see his local doctor." The brown eyes of the man focused on Nina as he told her what to do. Nina thanked the ambulance crew and showed them out the door. When she came back Ephram was lying down, placing a blue blanket over him she left him to rest.
Ephram awoke with a start when the doorbell rang, all he could hear were muffled sounds, a few movements and the closing of the door. Propping himself he looked over the sofa he was just in time to see Irv leave with the bag of clothes Ephram had earlier packed. "Hey there, how you feeling?" The blonde woman sat on the chair to the side of the sofa. "Better thanks." "That's okay. I got a friend of mine to pick up Delia and Sam while you were asleep, Irv just told me about his plan, it's a good idea, he was worried about you." Ephram nodded "There's no need, look would it be okay if I took Delia out tonight?" The look on Nina's faced looked like she was unsure, the light made her blue eyes glisten "Are you sure that's a good idea, what happens if you have another attack?" Ephram manoeuvred his legs round of the sofa. "Well to be honest something triggered that, as long as I don't get rushed I will be fine, please?" Nina looked confused "What triggered it?" Ephram sighed "Mr Hart called round, I kind of had a go at him" Nina smiled "Good it's about time that man understood" Ephram nodded "Yes but the only thing was he was saying thank you, I told him he was to late, I filled him in about dad and then he said he was sorry and left." Nina place her hand on his knee reassuringly "You did the right thing sweetie, you can take Delia out on one condition, you are back by 12 and you call me." Ephram smiled "Sure thing, I was thinking the ice rink and then dinner?" Nina laughed, "That sounds perfect although I still cant get over the fact Everwood has an ice rink" Ephram grinned, "Well its only small but its pretty good standard." Delia and Sam ran in to the lounge "Ephram?" Delia bounced on to the sofa "Yes little sis?" "Can we do something? I'm really board" Ephram smiled "It just so happens me and you have some ice skating boots with our names on them, so go and get ready and we can go." Delia ran out of the room excitedly whilst Ephram went to get changed.
Ephram and Delia arrived at the ice rink to find it completely deserted. A sign on one of the barriers read 'Closed due to unforeseen circumstances' with a sigh Delia turned around and carried on back home. Where are you going?" Delia turned around, her New York Yankees cap covered her eyes "Home" Ephram walked up to her, put his hands on her shoulder and turned her around "Oh no your not, we are going for something to eat." Ephram led Delia to a restaurant over the road from the ice rink.
Ephram and Delia walked into the lightly dimmed restaurant to find the Abbots having dinner with the Harts in the corner of the room. As soon as they entered it all went quiet. Ephram looked around the room at the hungry faces; looking down at Delia she knew what he meant by the painful look he shot her. Delia started to cry and ran out of the restaurant, Ephram looked after her and continued to say, "I hope you're happy with yourselves." Before he ran out too.
Mr Hart looked on longingly then turned to face the Abbots "This is exactly what we should of prevented" Dr Abbot circled the plate with his knife, placing it down he stared at Mr Hart "I knew things were bad but Andy should be used to losing patients." "Yes but this patient was different, the whole town relied on him. And to be honest I am not surprised that this town turned on them." "Honey come on, Andy did the best he could. Do you know what Ephram told me today he said it felt like he had lost both parents because Andy wasn't coming home at night. He was staying at work instead. Do you think that's right? I think we should do our best to get the whole town back on the Brown's side." Mr Hart said. Bright couldn't believe what he was hearing "No way, no way am I forgiving the Brown's, my best friend just died." "That maybe the case Bright but imagine if it was me and it had been Ephram's best friend " Dr Abbot explained. Bright laughed, "That wouldn't happen." Dr Abbot huffed, "Can you be so sure?" Dr Abbot watched his son's grin light up his face. "Yeah as a matter of fact I can, Ephram is a loner he doesn't have any friends, so I'd never be in that situation." Dr Abbot brushed a hand over his face, "I never thought I had brought you up like that, Bright sooner or later you are going to be the odd one out and then you will be the loner. The brown's are in trouble and its our duty to help them, we got them in this mess, we can get them out." Bright nodded "Whatever, where's Amy?"
"DELIA" Ephram shouted his chest became tight but he kept on running for his sister's benefit. Delia kept on running her size three feet carried her all the way up the street, the tears sprouted from her eyes and fell down her cheeks in small droplets. "EPHRAM" Amy shouted. Amy's long hair swayed in the wind, her brown eyes longed for Ephram to come in to view. But Ephram was to busy in catching up with Delia. But Delia couldn't go on anymore, her legs gave way and she tumbled to the floor. Ephram caught up with her and knelt by her, his breathing was rapid but it eased of when he had time to rest. "Oh Delia" he said hugging her "I want Daddy, I just want him here" she cried. Ephram picked up the crying figure and carried her home. Amy watched from afar as she saw Ephram carry Delia away. Looking at the ground she turned around and went back to restaurant.
"Amy?" Dr Abbot walked up to her "Where did you go?" "I went after Ephram but when I got there he was busy so I came back here" "How was he?" Dr Abbot inquired. Amy pulled out the chair and sat back down "Delia was running but eventually she couldn't run any longer, she was crying and Ephram picked her up and took her home, well I presume he did. I felt so sorry for them dad, you should of seen them. Colin wouldn't have wanted that." She felt her eyes well up "He wouldn't have wanted that. Dr Abbot grabbed another chair and sat down next to Amy "I know sweetheart, I know" before putting his arm around her.
