Chapter 1
The phone ringing wakes Ephram up the next morning and quickly he moves off of his bed to answer the phone before it wakes Amy. Not long after Ephram had eaten dinner the night before Amy had woken again and asked if Ephram would stay with her and eventually they had both fallen asleep on the bed.
"Hello?" Ephram answers softly.
"Ephram, man, where were you last night?" Skuz' voice greets, "the party was awesome!"
"Something came up." Ephram responds stepping out of the bedroom.
"Something came up?" Skuz scoffs, "I go out of my way to make sure Skye McMillian will be at this party, and damn was she looking hot last night, and something came up? Shit man if that's not the worst explanation ever I don't know what is."
"It's complicated." Ephram responds.
"There is nothing complicated about it, hot chick who came to the party to see you it doesn't take brains to know that you should have been at the party last night and now Skye's pissed at you. Listen though you can make it up to her we're meeting everyone for lunch at one at Chili's listen I will stop by your place on my way there." Skuz states.
"Skuz, I can't..." Ephram begins.
"I don't want to hear it, I'll be there at 12:45s." With those parting words Ephram is left with a dial tone.
Nonny appears in front of Ephram, "Ephram we made plans last week to eat at the Club with the McMillian's today, will you and Amy be all right here? If you need me here I can stay."
"We'll be fine Nonny, thank you though." Ephram responds.
"Did you need anything before we leave?" Nonny asks.
"I don't think so." Ephram responds.
Nonny nods, "there is good in the fridge to eat, and Ephram listen try to get her to leave the house. Maybe go shopping, if she is going to be here for awhile she's going to need clothes to wear."
Ephram nods, "I don't think she's going to want to go out today but I'll suggest it."
Nonny gently touches Ephram's cheek gently, "OK we'll we should get going, but we have our cell phone, call if you need anything." Ephram nods and Nonny adds, "I left my ATM card on the kitchen counter if you guys go out go ahead and take whatever money you need out."
"OK, thanks Nonny, have fun." Ephram states as Nonny and Grandpa leave the apartment.
Walking into the living room Ephram settles onto the couch and dials his home phone number, "hello Brown residence." Delia's voice sounds sleepy on the other end.
"Delia did I wake you?" Ephram questions.
Delia yawns, "no I just got up, Dad and I are going to breakfast with Nina and Sam today and then we are going to the Denver Zoo."
"That sounds like fun." Ephram responds, "is Dad around?"
"Yeah, I'll go get him." Ephram can hear Delia set the phone down and all for their father.
The sound of shuffling and clattering precedes Andy's, "Ephram."
"Hi Dad." Ephram responds.
"I hear you've had an unexpected visitor." Andy states.
"How come you didn't tell me abut Colin?" Ephram asks immediately.
Andy's line goes silent, and then a deep breath, "I wanted you to enjoy your summer away from Everwood."
"I..."
"I realize I made a mistake." Andy interrupts, "Amy needed you and I see that now, I should have at least let you know what was going on."
This time it's Ephram's turn to fall silent, "I appreciate you trying to protect me." A shocked silence ensues but Ephram eventually breaks it, "what did the Abbot's say?"
"That want Amy to call today but Rose thinks that it would be a good idea to let Amy stay in New York for awhile." Andy responds, "so when we get off the phone why don't you have Amy call her parents."
"She's still asleep, she didn't sleep very well last night." Ephram states, "but I will have her call when she wakes up."
"All right then, if you need anything don't hesitate to call." Andy states.
"I'll call later today." Ephram states.
"All right bye."
"Bye." Once Ephram hangs up the phone Amy appears in the living room, her hair is pulled back in a messy ponytail and the clothes she had worn the day before and slept in are wrinkled.
Ephram immediately jumps to his feet, "Um, morning."
Amy offers a weak smile, "morning."
"Did you want something to eat? Or drink?" Ephram questions.
Amy bites her lip, "I could have something to drink, I guess."
"All right, the kitchens right through here." Ephram leads Amy into the kitchen and pulls open the fridge, listing off the drinks.
"Orange juice I guess." Amy responds.
Ephram quickly pours both Amy and himself a glass of orange juice just as the front doorbell rings, "I've got it." Ephram calls hurrying toward front door.
Pulling it open reveals a beautiful teenage girl with dark raven colored hair and dark brown eyes, "Skye, what are you doing here?"
