First of all I am so sorry about not updating, I went on holiday and forgot
to put up this update before I went.I am in the middle of chapter 11 so I
will put that up when I have done it.
Thank you so much for the reviews, I am thrilled that your loving the story :) but please don't stop!
Disclaimer: Contains scenes of very mild violence but its not much.
Not mine, wish it was but we have Berlanti to thank for the show and characters. Apart from Erin and Dr McCann.
I am English, not American the show doesn't air in England so I have no idea about American schools and how they worked, I tried to remember Dawson's Creek and they had an episode with Biology mentioned in it so I used that class.
Safety Nets
Ephram lay asleep next to his dad's lying figure. Nina had since returned from the Brown's house and was now sitting beside Andy. "He looks worse then I do!" Andy exclaimed, "You don't know the half of it." Andy looked at her curiously, "Nina, what are you hiding from me?" Nina paused. "It's not my place to say." Andy shook his head "I don't care I want to know, when I phoned you guys you were all hiding something from me. Now I know that something is bothering you please tell me." Andy's pleading brown eyes made her think about Ephram's circumstance, taking a deep breath she began to explain what had happened in the few days she was away. Andy looked from her to Ephram in shock. "I have really neglected him, infact I have neglected the whole family." He then looked on at the sleeping figure on his body. Stroking Delia's brown hair he let out a breath of disgust. "Everything's gone so wrong," Nina placed a reassuring hand on his arm. "Andy, these children understood you they wanted you back yeh but they understood you had to go. Now your back with us you, Ephram and Delia can move on." Andy smiled. "Thanks Nina, not just for this but for looking after the children. They love you and I don't blame them." Nina blushed. "I kinda love them to." She said laughing.
Dr McCann waltzed up the corridor for what felt like the hundredth time that day. As soon as he entered the Brown's room he laughed at the sight. Ephram was top half of his body was folded over on to the bed as he sat on a chair, Delia was lying on the bed with her dad and Nina was reading a book in the chair to the left side of the bed. He cheerily asked how everyone was doing. Andy looked up "Good thanks." "Any pain or discomfort?" Andy shook his head "Not really, my leg is a bit sore though." Dr McCann agreed, "That's expected you went through quite a bit with that leg." "So I've heard." The two men paused and then Andy spoke up again, "When will I be able to go home?" Dr McCann toyed with the question. "Well your body is going to need some time, a week maybe two." Andy tried to reason but Nina butted in, "That's fine, I can look after the children. Andy looked at her in protest "But?" "No but's Andy you need to get better." "Yes but." "I'm not listening, that's fine doctor." Dr McCann laughed, "Well we certainly know who wears the trousers out of you two." Nina and Andy turned to look at each other and laughed. "Were not an item." Dr McCann placed his hand over his mouth "Oh, I just thought that, oh dear I'm so sorry." Andy smiled "That's fine." Dr Abbot watched Dr McCann leave the room, grabbing his chance he walked in to the room. "Hi" Dr Brown smiled "Hi, no Amy today?" "No she has studying to do. Is Ephram going to school tomorrow?" Andy thought about it. "I don't think so, I think we can leave it for a couple of days." Dr Abbot agreed, he looked at the young boy. The black rims around his eyes made him look ill. "Yeah he looks pretty tired. Well I am just stopping in I have Mrs Carpenter waiting for me to see her after her operation." Dr Brown laughed "Sorry." "For what?" "Well she was my patient." Dr Abbot rolled his eyes "Well I cant say her bunions were appealing but hey anything to help a friend." Andy let out his hand; Dr Abbot obliged and shook his hand. "See you later." He nodded to Nina and Andy before rushing off.
The Next day
It was Monday afternoon and instead of going back to school, Ephram was fixing himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the kitchen. He was taking some time out from the hospital and the ugly disinfectant smell that clouded up the hospital. Ephram sat down on the kitchen stool and began to read a magazine whilst eating his food. The picture hanging on the fridge diverted his attention. It had four people in it Ephram, Delia, his dad and his mom Julie. In the right hand corner it was signed D. Ephram smiled at his sisters drawing, he traced his finger over his moms painted face and smiled. At least he had his dad back he thought before snapping out of his trance and continuing with his sandwich.
Amy was walking down the school corridor towards her biology classroom, she had her folders in hand and her school bag hung loosely over her shoulder. Entering the classroom she could smell gas and chemicals. Cringing at the smell she went to sit down at the bench, sitting by herself she noticed the writing on the blackboard. 'Ephram Brown is a mental case' shocked at what she saw she proceeded to rub the writing of the board.
"I wonder who wrote that?" startled by the voice she turned round to find Erin Davies standing at the back of the class. He wore a maroon and yellow jacket, black jeans and his face was complete with a bruise. Amy laughed, she soon realised Ephram had caused the bruise. "Well, well if it isn't Mr I'm so hard." "You better watch that mouth of yours Abbot your boyfriend isn't here to protect you anymore," Amy looked at him shocked. "And there was me thinking he was your friend," Erin shook his head "He was, it was when he started hanging round with you and Brown he started going weird " "He was sick, although your probably to thick to understand that." Erin moved further towards Amy. "So how his Brown I heard about his dad, that must have been real hard." He stated mockingly. Amy shook her head in disbelief. "Your just bummed he hit you, but I must say it's a drastic improvement." Erin laughed jokingly "You just tell Brown that I'll be waiting for him when he gets back."
Amy walked up to him "Tell me something when did you get so mucked up in the head. What is it when your sister became a slapper or when your dad got sent down?" Amy couldn't believe she had been so harsh but when he mentioned Colin it had struck a chord, a strong chord. Erin laughed at her "I don't think your in any position Amy to be judging me, I mean lets face it a dead boyfriend, no friends, you're a reject." Amy felt her arm lift up and strike Erin across the face. "How dare you? Erin go and sort out your own pathetic little life, neither me or Ephram are scared of you and if you think threatening Ephram is going to solve your tragic, pathetic, lonely life think again." Erin felt rage build up within him, clenching his fists he grabbed Amy by the arms, pushing her down to the floor he got his hand and pushed her head sideways in to the floor. "I don't think you realise what I am capable of Abbot, I suggest you rethink your attitude towards me otherwise next time I might not be this easy on you." Letting go of Amy he walked out of the room and back into the crowded halls. Amy lay there stunned, gasping for air she arose from her position, grabbed her things and ran out of the classroom. Tears fell from her eyes; people gave her strange looks as she ran. A young girl with brown hair shouted to Amy that Biology had changed rooms, but she didn't care she needed to leave she needed to go to the one place she felt safe, she needed Ephram.
Running further and further down the pavement her tears stained her baby blue top, her golden hair glistened in the sun as it flew around her. Her quivering hand was now holding her bag. And the folder she was sticking out the top of the bag, in her frustration her bag fell to the floor and her folder flew out along with a photo and her pen. Picking it all up she paused at the photo it was of her and Colin on the day of his surgery, memories of that day flooded her mind and flashes of his gorgeous face struck out in her mind and that's when she remembered Dr Brown's face after the surgery his face was puffed out with red and his pleading eyes wondered around the room. He didn't even need to say he was dead, she knew but she had to have it confirmed she didn't want to believe it but once it was confirmed she had no choice. Wiping the tears away that fell from each eye she arose from the ground only to find more tears forming. Grabbing her stuff once more she carried on running towards her safety net.
"You're Still Here-Faith Hill"
Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away
And I knew I couldn't be but my heart believed
Oh it seems like something everyday
How could you be so far away
When you're still here
When I need you you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you in my baby's eyes
And I laugh and cry
You're still here
At the dream last night
That you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in the painted sky
And I woke up wondering what was real
Is it what you see and touch or what you feel
Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a stranger's laugh
And I hunger on to hear your laugh again
Just once again
Oh...
Thought I saw you today
you were standing in the sun then you turned away, Away
Okay so what did you think, I know it was a bit harsh but I wasn't sure about going in to the sexual kind of things but abuse I could do so did u like it? If not, why not? You know what to do..
Push that button..
