A/N: Hope all of you had a very happy holiday! Hope you have a Happy New
Year!!
Ephram and Madison pulled out of the movie parking lot and went on there way to get ice cream. They stopped at this little shack down the road that sold the best ice cream in Everwood. "What kind do you want?" asked Ephram as they were waiting to give the lady their order.
"I'm thinking about chocolate caramel mocha swirl," replied Madison reaching for Ephram's hand to hold.
"Me too," replied Ephram.
Ephram ordered the ice cream cones and they sat in Madison's car and ate the ice cream.
"So did you like the movie?" asked Madison laughing.
"Oh, it was great, what was it called again?" asked Ephram laughing back.
Ephram leaned over and gave Madison a chilly but sweet ice cream kiss. Madison leaned in for another one.
"I'm getting cold, I think it is hot tub time!" replied Madison.
"I don't have my swim trunks" replied Ephram, as Madison started up the car. "That's okay we can go naked," said Madison laughing, I have seen you naked already." "Not purposely," claimed Ephram, turning red. "Oh...okay I guess," said Ephram unsure about the matter. "I'm joking," replied Madison reassuringly, "I have a pair of my brothers swim trunks you can borrow." They got to her house before Ephram could say anything else. Ephram kept thinking about how great this was going to be. Ephram and Madison alone in the hot tub, what a dream. Just wait until Bright hears about this, or maybe I won't tell him Ephram was thinking.
They entered the house though the back door. The house was silent. Madison disappeared into a room and reappeared with some blue swimming trunks. "These should fit you," Madison said as she held them up to Ephram.
"You can go change in the bathroom, it is right down the hall on the left." Madison explained.
"Ok," Ephram answered. He went down the hall and found the bathroom. He had just got done changing into the swimming trunks when he noticed that he had to do something about his stitches. Ephram started looking in the cabinets looking for something to put over his stitches. As he was looking in the cabinets he found a pregnancy test kit in the cupboard. It was brand new. He just hoped it wasn't Madison's. Just as he was about to put the kit back in the cupboard there was a knock on the door.
"Almost done?" asked Madison. "Yea," answered Ephram. He quickly shoved the kit back into the cupboard and opened the door. As Ephram opened the door he saw Madison standing there in a blue bikini with hibiscus flowers all over it. She looked so beautiful. The way the bikini matched her perfectly tanned skin and her sandy colored hair. She looked like she had stepped out of a swimsuit magazine. "I'm ready except I need something to cover my stitches," said Ephram trying to take his eyes off of Madison. "Okay," let's see if there is anything in here," said Madison. Madison went straight to the cupboard with the pregnancy test in it. When she opened the cupboard the test fell onto the floor.
"I wonder whose this is?" said Madison as she shoved it back into the cupboard.
"Don't worry Ephram it isn't mine, I promise," explained Madison. Ephram was relieved to hear this. He didn't want his girlfriend pregnant by some other man.
Madison found a plastic bag in the cupboard and affixed it over his stitches with some water proof tape. "I hope this will do," said Madison. "It should," replied Ephram.
Madison quickly got some towels and they made their way to the hot tub in the backyard.
As they got in the water made Ephram's skin tighten. It felt so good.
Madison clicked on the cd player near by. Some Coldplay was playing. This was perfect.
Amy got into the truck with bright. The warmth of the car was very inviting.
"So why did you run away?" asked Bright. "I hate it here!" said Amy, everything reminds me of Colin." Tears started streaming down her face. "It's okay Amy, you will get through this," replied Bright trying to calm her down.. "It isn't like this is only hard for you," said Bright, I was driving the car."
"What is that on your wrist?" asked Bright.
"I scratched it," said Amy, trying to hide the other scratches.
"Let me see," Bright said hoping there weren't more scratches.
He grabbed her arm only to reveal several cuts some were new and some were recent and still bleeding.
"Amy! How could you do this to yourself?" asked Bright. He was very worried now. He loved his sister and couldn't bear to think of her inflicting such pain on herself.
Amy could sense the worry in Bright's eyes. He would never understand why she does what she does.
Bright gave Amy a huge hug. At first Amy didn't know how to react but for some reason it felt very comforting.
Maybe Bright was the one who was supposed to help her through this. Bright finally pulled away.
"How about we drive home," Bright suggested.
"I'll take the blame for you and we can talk later," Bright said. Okay, thanks Bright, you are the best, said Amy. She was so confused and in pain maybe tomorrow would be better.
They got into to each other's cars and drove home.
Ephram and Madison sat in the steaming water letting their cares go. The water was so comforting and the sound of Coldplay's Scientist drifted in the background. The two were staring up into the stars.
"This is really nice," said Ephram. "Yes it is, and it is even better that I'm here with you," said Madison.
Ephram moved over to where Madison was sitting. He gave her a sweet kiss on the lips. He could smell the chlorine in the air. Her hands ran through his damp hair. They just sat there in silence. Ephram's arm was around Madison's waist. Madison's hand traveled up Ephram's leg closer and closer to the rim of his trunks. Ephram shivered in excitement as he let is hand move down the small of her back. A part of him wanted her right now yet another part of him would rather just sit here and let the moment last. So letting the laziness take over he kissed Madison once more and she laid her head on his shoulder letting her know that all he wanted to do was sit there and relax in each other's arms.
