"So where are we going?" asked Ephram.
"You will see," answered Madison.
They were in the car for a few minutes until Madison pulled up to a nice
little drive up diner. There were a lot of cars there. Car hoppers were
running from car to car with trays of greasy food.
"Here we are!" said Madison, trying to lighten up the mood.
A drive up diner great, I assumed we were going somewhere nicer Ephram
thought.
The lady came up to there window and asked for their order. She had on a
grease stained apron and spoke with a raspy voice.
"So what do you want Ephram?" asked Madison.
"I'll take a burger," Ephram replied.
"Two burgers please and a milkshake," Madison said as she ordered.
There food came in a matter of minutes. Ephram and Madison sat in the car
eating their greasy burgers.
"Ephram grab a straw," said Madison handing him a straw. "Want to share
this milkshake?" asked Madison.
"Sure", Ephram replied, loving any excuse to swap spit.
Madison was holding the milkshake and Ephram leaned over to drink some.
Before he could take a sip Madison leaned in and kissed him. They started
kissing in the car almost spilling the milkshake.
Suddenly there was a honk of a car horn that interrupted their kiss.
Madison and Ephram looked up at the same time to see who it was. Bright
and Amy Abbott pulled up beside them. Amy just stared, wondering who Ephram
was kissing.
"Hi. Amy," replied Ephram, "This is my girlfriend Madison." It felt very
awkward to Ephram introducing Madison to a girl he once loved but couldn't
have.
"Hi. I'm Amy," replied Amy hoping to break the silence. Amy's brother
Bright was busy laughing.
"Well. we better go," Ephram replied. Ephram was thinking of his feelings
that he still had for Amy. He had to keep reminding himself he was with
Madison now. The situation was very uncomfortable and he wanted to get out
of there as soon as possible.
They drove away the car was silent. "Ephram, what's wrong?" Madison asked. "My cut is bleeding some more," Ephram said looking down at his stomach. His cut wasn't all that was wrong. He was having feelings for Amy again. This couldn't be happening. He was dating Madison. "Let me look at your cut?" asked Madison, It looks bad, let's get you to the hospital. Little did Ephram know, they were already on their way to the hospital.
Ephram was scared to death. He hated hospitals. Even though his dad was a doctor, hospitals have always freaked him out. He was hoping Madison wouldn't notice his phobia.
They pulled into the hospital parking lot. Once Madison parked the car she leaned over and kissed Ephram, making him forget all about the hospital. Madison pulled away and opened the car door.
Madison walked Ephram into the emergency room. They checked him in and took him to get check him out. "Do you want me to stay out here?" asked Madison, as Ephram was leaving with the doctor. "Actually, would you come in with me, I'm not a big fan of hospitals." Ephram replied. "Sure, but I'm going to have to call your Dad on my cell phone and tell him we are here." "We don't want to hospital to call him first, replied Madison.
Ephram knew once he confessed to his father that he was in the hospital with Madison, all hell was going to break loose. Before Madison could call Dr. Brown, the doctor walked in. "I'm Dr. Wiles," the doctor said, "you are Ephram Brown, where did you get cut?"
Ephram lifted up his shirt to reveal a cut about three inches in length on the right side of his chest. It had stopped bleeding but looked pretty nasty. "How did you do this?" The doctor asked. "I fell and cut myself in the garage," Ephram said lying. "Oh," replied, Dr. Wiles, It looks like it will need about seven stitches and a Tetanus shot Ephram." Ephram looked at Madison who was sitting near him and gave her a horrified look. He hated shots. The thought of someone sticking a needle in his arm made him quiver. Madison sensed that Ephram was afraid. Madison smiled and took Ephram's hand in hers, letting him know he would survive." Madison took her phone and decided to call Dr. Brown, still holding Ephram's hand.
Andy was sitting in his chair relaxing. He was thinking about letting Ephram go visit his grandparents over the summer. Right before he was going to go up and check on Ephram, the phone rang. "Hello" "Hello.. Dr. Brown this is Madison," replied Madison. "Yes,".replied Andy. "You aren't going to want to hear this but I'm here in the hospital with Ephram," she said, he cut himself sneaking out of the house." "He what., is he okay?" asked Andy impatiently. Yes, he is fine besides the fact that he needs stitches, replied Madison. "We will tell the rest of the story to you once you get here." She replied. "Alright, I'm on my way." replied Andy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The doctor was almost done stitching Ephram up. Even the shot wasn't as bad as Ephram thought it would be. The doctor put some gauze padding on the cut and told Ephram to change the dressings daily. Just as Madison and Ephram were getting up, Andy walked in. "Ephram are you okay?" asked Andy. "Yes, I'm fine, seven stitches and tetanus shot later," Ephram replied. Andy noticed that Madison was holding Ephram's hand and knew there as definitely more to the story. Once they got out into the parking lot Andy demanded the whole story. "I snuck out to meet Madison, we were going to go on a date," Ephram confessed. "Instead, when Ephram was trying to escape the house he slipped and cut himself on the trellis, added Madison." "Why didn't you tell me?" asked Andy. "Like you would care." replied Ephram. "I do care, you could have prevented this whole mess by telling me about you and Madison," said Andy. "Now I'm going to half to fire Madison," said Andy. "No!" Ephram shouted, Delia likes her too much. Ephram spotted Madison almost in tears and went over and gave her a huge kiss, holding her in his arms.
"I love Madison," Ephram replied, or so he thought he love her. "Well. maybe we can work something out," replied Andy, but your still grounded. "Can Madison take me home?" asked Ephram. "I guess since your going to be locked in your room for eternity after tonight," replied Andy. " Those are going to be your last few minutes of freedom, enjoy them well you still have them," warned Andy.
Madison and Ephram got into the car and drove off. "So much for our date," replied Ephram. "We will have another chance to make it up," replied Madison. "Yeah, when I turn 21," replied Ephram. "Don't worry we will be together sooner than you think," explained Madison. "Look on the bright side, at least I still have a job," She said. They pulled up to Ephram's house. Ephram opened the door of the car. "I'll see you sometime." said Ephram. "Hope your cut gets better soon," replied Madison. "Maybe tomorrow I can come over and nurse you back to health," Madison said laughing. Ephram smiled and walked into the house.
