Harry looks surprised yet again to see Ephram sitting along side Amy's bed, but not only that Ephram was there again, but to see Laynie there too.
Amy: "Hi Dad."
Harry: "Hello Amy. How are you feeling?"
Amy: "Better."
Harry: "That's good to hear. So are you glad you get to go home tomorrow?"
Amy: "More then glad. I want to sleep in my own bed."
Harry: "I'm sure you do, what happened to all the chairs?"
Rose: "I don't know, why don't you go and ask a nurse for one?"
Harry puts up a hand and waves it at Rose, asking her to come with. Harry and Rose walk out of Amy's room and Harry stops Rose once they are around the corner. Harry: "What is the Brown boy doing here ~agian~?"
Rose: "Harold! He's here to see Amy. My goodness, lay off of them for once."
Harry: "I don't want them together."
Rose: "Harold, you have to admit, it's a lot better then that Tommy boy she was seeing."
Harry: "Rose, just imagine, there could be grandchildren. 'Grandpa Harry, can we go to the concert with Uncle Bright, it's gonna be hip."
Rose: "~Harold~, they're sixteen!"
Harry: "I know how old my daughter is."
Rose: "Well, just lay off of them. Amy really does look happy, and I don't want you screwing it up." (She knew her words were a bit cruel but it was true. Amy was happy, for real. It wasn't just a cover up, using the drugs. It was all Amy.)
Harry: "Fine. I won't say anything, but don't say I didn't say anything, because I did."
Rose: "Oh, Harold. Do you want those chairs or not?"
Harry: "Yes."
Rose: "Well you better go and as a nurse."
So Harry goes and finds a nurse and asks for some chairs. In Amy's room, Rose is sitting back in her chair. Ephram, Amy, Bright, and Laynie are all talking about some stuff from school. Soon after Harry comes back with two chairs because Ephram isn't going to leave Amy's side until he has to leave. Harry: "Bright, I brought you a chair."
Bright: "Thanks."
Both Harry and Bright sit down in there chairs. Everyone is talking about all kinds of things. When Amy gets to go home. The classes at school. After a while, Ephram looks down at his watch.
Ephram: (In his head,) "Wow look at the time, it's going on 8. I think it's time to start heading out." (Then to Laynie.) "Are you getting a ride home with me of with the Abbot's?"
Laynie: "I think I'll ride with the Abbot's if you don't mind."
Ephram: "That's cool." (To Amy.) "I have to go, it's going on 8 and it'll be close to 9 by the time I get home."
Amy: "Ok, I'll talk to you later."
Ephram leans in and kisses Amy, and in her ear he says, "I love you." She doesn't have to say it, but in her eyes he could see it. She was saying it back. He says good bye to everyone and heads to his car. He drives off towards the freeway and home. It takes him about 45 minutes to get home. When he gets home he doesn't see his fathers car in the driveway, but he does see Madison's. Ephram: "Great. She's still here."
He pulls into the driveway and puts the car into park. He gets out and goes to the front door. He opens it and walks through. Delia: "Ephram! Look what I made!" (She runs up to mind and shows him the beaded lizard type thing.)
Ephram: "Cool. Where's dad?"
Madison: "He went out with Linda, you weren't home yet so he asked me to stay later."
Ephram: "Oh, well thats great." (He says sarcastically.) "I'll be upstairs, call me if the house starts to burn down."
And Ephram runs upstairs before another word can be spoken. Delia: "I wonder what his problem is."
Madison: "I bet I know." (She says quietly under her breath. Then to Delia,) "I don't know sweetie, but boys will be boys."
Delia: "You've got that right."
Delia and Madison go back to what they where doing before Ephram got home, while Ephram is upstairs. He's still got Amy on his mind. He can't wait for her to come home tomorrow. But what will they do about Tommy. He wants to do it for her but he knows that she should do whatever she needs to do and he'll just have to be there to support her. He thinks about Amy for a while when he hears a car door shut from the driveway below. It's Andy. And comes threw the front door and Delia runs up to him and gives him a giant hug and show's him what she and Madison had been working on all afternoon. Andy: "Thats cool sweetheart, but where's your brother?"
Delia: "He went upstairs."
Madison: "He went upstairs after he came home."
Andy: "I see. Well, Madison, thank you for staying later. And we'll see you on Monday."
Madison: "Ok, Dr. Brown. Bye Delia."
Delia says good bye to Madison and then Madison leaves. Delia and Andy clean up the few beads that had gotten left behind on the table. Soon after Andy goes upstairs. Andy: (Opens Ephram's door,) "Hey, are you hungry?"
Ephram: "Oh, ah no, not really. Thanks though."
And Andy has a weird look on his face but leaves Ephram's room.
Harry: "Hello Amy. How are you feeling?"
Amy: "Better."
Harry: "That's good to hear. So are you glad you get to go home tomorrow?"
Amy: "More then glad. I want to sleep in my own bed."
