After school, Amy heads to the Diner. Ephram's already there, he's waiting outside the diner for Amy. Amy gets out of the car and crosses the street towards Ephram.
They walk in the diner together, the take a booth next to a window. A waitress walks up to them. Waitress: "Can I get the two of you something to drink?" (Ask she hands them each a menu.)
Amy: "I'll take a cup of coffee."
Ephram: "Make that two please."
Waitress: (under her breath) "Two cups of coffee, and I'll be right back with your coffee."
Ephram: "Thank you."
Waitress: "No problem." The waitress walks off and takes someone else's order before going to get their coffee. Ephram: "So how are you? Really."
Amy: "I'm all right, doing better then I was."
Ephram: "Good, but is there anything you wanna tell me? You can tell me whatever, I'm always here for you to talk to."
Amy: "Well, what's this with you and Madison? Are you going out?"
Ephram: "Yes, we are."
Amy: "Oh." (sounding a bit upset about it.)
Ephram: "Your ok with this aren't you?"
Amy: "Oh yah, I don't care. After all, we're just friends right?"
Ephram: "Right." The waitress comes with their coffee. The coffee is on a tray with a bunch of water glasses on it. Waitress: Heres your coffee. I'll be right back to take your order."
Ephram: "Thank you," (to Amy) "So is there anything that you want to talk about?"
Amy: "Well have you found a new piano teacher yet?"
Ephram: "No, I can't seem to find any real good ones in Everwood, I may have to ask my dad to help me."
Amy: "Oh, I see." The waitress comes back to their table and pulls out a pad and pen. Waitress: "So what can I get you?"
Ephram: "I'll take a cheese burger with everything."
Amy:" I'll take a cheese burger, no onions or pickles please."
Waitress: "Yup, I'll be back to fill your cups soon."
Amy: "Thank you."
Waitress: "Ah huh, not a problem." The waitress leaves to put the order in and take orders from other costumers. Ten minutes, the waitress comes back with their food. And they get another refill on there coffee. Ephram: "So how's school for you?"
Amy: "It's good, it's starting to get a lot easier."
Ephram: "Good, I saw that it wasn't easy for you to go to school after Colin died."
Amy: "Yah, it was real tough. But I've gotten used to it." As they eat their food and drink their coffee, they talk about everything from music, to movies, to some of the new TV shows on. Amy and Ephram laughing together, something that they haven't done in a while. It's starting to get dark out. It's about 5:40. Ephram looks at his watch. Ephram: "Wow look at the time. I gotta get going," (standing up and grabbing his coat).
Amy: "Ephram, wait."
Ephram: "Yeah?"
Amy: "There's something I really need to tell you. I've kept it in for to long and I need to tell you."
Ephram: (sitting back down,) "What? What is it?"
Amy: (With tears swelling up in her eyes, one ever so slightly starting to fall.) "Ephram, seeing you and Madison together is ripping me in half, I've fallen for you. I like you, a lot. Ephram I need you, I finally realize it, but it didn't take you and Madison together for me to realize it. The day you went and took your test for your license, I was there, I was coming to talk to you, but the you kissed Madison, and I got in the car and left. I was too upset to say anything," (the tears just rolling down her eyes now).
Ephram: "You where there? Amy, I like you too, I always have, but I'm with Madison."
Amy: "I know, I'm too late,and I can't stop you and Madison. But I want you to know, I'm in love with you I really am." (She's just sobbing. Not able to control her emotions.)
Ephram: "Amy," (In a calm voice, he takes her hand into his.) Remember I like you and always have, but I can't change the fact that me and Madison are together. come on lets go outside."
Amy: "All right." Amy and Ephram grab there coats. Ephram pays for their dinner. They walk outside the diner, soon as there outside, Amy gets a call on her cell phone. It's her mom. Amy: "Yah........ I went out and got a bit to eat.......ok sorry, yah, ok I'll go and pick it up. Ok love you too, bye," (to Ephram, still with tears in her eyes.) "Sorry, that was my mom, I have to go to Concrete and pick up a few things my mom got."
Ephram: "All right, I'll talk to you later."
Amy: "Yah ok, bye."
Ephram walks closer to her and kisses her on the cheek, ad she gives him a hug good bye. Ephram gets into his car and drives way. Amy watches him until he is out of her sight. She gets into her own car and starts toward the freeway.
