Chapter 7
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
*********************************************************
It was a windy August day that threatened rain, Ephram was sitting in English 101 two seats behind Thalia, too the left, she shot quick glances at him from time to time, but that was only because Ephram couldn't peel his eyes away from her. Though they had only known each-other for a short period of time, Ephram couldn't stand a minute without her, he knew she felt the same. Up until three days ago they spent every waking hour togeather, like long-lost puppies. Ephram looked over at Thalia again she was fiddling with her pencil. Staring at it like it was appealing. He wanted to make things right, but whenever he tried to get close to her, she would just excuse herself and run away. He knew exactly what to say, he'd been rehearsing it every morning before school, just in case he got a quick chance to apoligise. He didn't know Thalia mean't so much to him, they hardly knew each-other, but when Ephram heard her sing, he had to fall back, and really take alook and see if it was the same stubborn, rude, independent girl he met at his fathers office, what he didn't know waht at that moment he had a glimpse of who Thalia use to be, the cookie-cutter girl next door type, now she just ached for stability, undividness and closure, just like he did, and if he could just open her up a bit, she could see that they could help each-other and put all the emptiness and confusion behind. He jumped out of his thoughts when the bell rang, he looked up to see Thalia just breeze out the door. There goes his after- school chance.
***********************************************************************
Thalia was sitting in Dr Brown's office when he strolled in carring a cup of coffie and The Everwood Newspaper, she was thinking about the situation with Ephram and came to the conclusion that she might have been over- reacting, she hadn't known Ephram for long, whom was she to just blow up in his face, though she did have a point she could have been a little more mature.
"Your Early", Dr Brown said suddenly, her attention turned to him, he sat down and moved about abit trying to get comfortable, he looked up when he was and smiled, warmly.
"Attitude adjusted?"He asked, as Thalia nodded.
"Left home with problems?" He asked, taking a sip of his coffie.
Thalia nodded once again.
"But you forget your voice? I knew this day would run smoothely" Thalia smiled.
Dr Brown took note of that, she should smile more often, it brings in a light, makes the room glow, Dr Brown imagined Thalia before her brother died, the way Nina described her. Nice, Neat, Smart, Funny, Wholesome, Energetice, Talented, all these qualities were pushed aside as she tried to cope with the aftermouth of her brothers death, she showed no remorse, but Dr Brown knew she was confused inside, that explained the attitude and outburst, saying whatever comes to mind, he noticed he was staring and cleared his voice, she jumped out her her thoughts aswell.
"So, I heard you've been spending time with my son?" He asked, folding his hands over his chest, hoping the change in subject would overpass the unprofessioanlly moment they just had.
"Not anymore" Thalia said, in a matter-of-factly tone, she didn't really feel comfortable talking to Ephram's dad about there friendship woes.
"Why's that?" He asked, Thalia thought for a minute, staring at the end of the desk.
"Because he's a selfish, self-centered, moron, who had no respect for his family and treats them like dirt."
Dr Brown laughed, "Can't argue with you on that one, he gets it from me, well, got it from me"
Thalia nodded, she admired Dr Brown ina way, no matter how much degraging you throw at him, he always has a positive outlook on it and assumes it's brought on by a weakness or flaw. He was the kind of guy every personw ithout a father would want as a father.
"Dr Brown your more a decent humen being" Thalia said, crossing her legs, "Ephram is trailer trash"
"Really?" Dr Brown asked, interested in her chosen words, "Well he doesn't live in a trailer, but, what brought on this sudden hatred for Ephram"
"You don't know yet?" He shook his head, "You will"
Dr Brown raised his eyebrowns and breathed out, he had no idea what she was talking about and he knew she was uncomfortable talking about it. So again, he decided to change the subject, to soemthing more unpersonal.
"I've been hearing about your sudden attraction to the club on the highway, dancing up a storm" He said, shaking his shouldars, trying to act like so disco cool.
"Yeah, it's just kiddy fun, I use to do it in LA all the time, except there was Drugs, Alch, and unprotected Sex at those clubs" Dr Brown raised his eyebrows again.
"Ok, well, how's school? Anything bothering you there?"
"Well there is this guy called Bright that keeps pestering me to go on a Lunch Date with him" She said, scrunching up her nose at the thought of Bright, he was kinda cute, but she wasn't in Everwood for foul play, she was here because her parents are self-concience dorks.
"And this is bothering you?" Dr Brown asked, suddenly Thalia nodded slowly
"A little, it's just driving me insane that he calls day and night, like I'm suddenly gonna surrender and say yes"
She said, slouching a bit.
"OK, anything else?"
Thalia sat up straight and looked around then moved her seat closer to Dr Brown, Dr Brown moved forward.
"The other day, I was playing the piano and singing a song aswell, after I'd finushed I heard clapping, I turned around and saw Davie. My Brother.Clapping, he looked really real."
Dr Brown nodded, Hallicentintions, he thought.
"Is this the first time?"
"No, last Friday, it happened at school, in the dance room, while I was playing the same song."
"I see, and your sure you weren't dreaming?"
"Never mind, I knew you wouldn't believe me" Thalia said,s tanding up and grabbing her jacket.
"No, it's not that it's just procedure questions" Dr Brown said, standing up with her.
"Well, can we leave the rule book to one side, and you tell me what the hell is going on with me" She said, moving towards him.
"Your obviously hallucinatting, when Davie was alive did he watch you play?"
"Yeah, when I was little"
"Well, maybe it's a memorie"
"Davie is three years older then me, he didn't look twelve, when I saw him"
"Thalia, Hallucinations are Perception of visual or auditory, experiences with a compelling sense of their reality, A false or mistaken idea; a delusion, all I can say to explain it is that your having Hallucinations based on your memories posse, your thinking about Davie all the time, it's natural to assume you see him"
"So, it's, uhh, not abnormal?" She asked, fiddling with hands, Andy could tell she was uncomfortable talking about it, but it was his job and he ahted to but he had to pressure her, he remembered when he use to hallucinate, when he saw and talked to Julia, it felt like she was right there in the flesh, but he knew better, years of hearing other doctors talking about it, "it was absurd", he would say, but after seeing it first- hand, he came to believe in everything sceptic.
He watched her sit there intently, she looked so fragile, so unsure of her life, what to make of it, sorta confused on how to react to her brothers death, by the drastic change in apprearence, the unspoken emotions and sarcastic outbursts, this was the only way she knew how to deal with the sudden impact on her shouldars.
Dr Brown shook his head, "No, it's perfectly natural, your introduced into a new enviroment so you and your sub-concious mind need to adjust"
Thalia raised her eyebrows, and scrunched up her nose.
"Are you on drugs? or do you just dish out psycho-bable for fun" She said, sarcastically
"Sub-concious mind, my Aunty Paddy" She thought.
Dr Brown laughed, "No, it might sound loopy, but thats the way science explains it"
"Science is on drugs aswell."
Dr Brown laughed again, then he caught a glimpse of the time. "We've run out of time, your parents will be pleased with this sessions effort."
Thalia rolled her eyes as she got up and put her coat on.
"Wow, let me roll out the red carpet for that one, my parentals will be happy, big wow" She replied, with her usual snare tongue, it didn't bother Andy anymore, he kinda liked her sarcastic wit, reminded him of Ephram..alot. He watched her leave, it was unbelieveble the kind of empact that one girl can make on a small town, but this one has turned heads, with one single glance, she would change the world just by learning how to survive in it.
(Well, I know it's moving a bit to fast with all this emotion, but that's the basis of it's appeal, Thalia make's a huge impact on everyone's life, in a few short months.)
Id Like To Thank-
LVHamlet Ok, this is good, really good.- But I have to tell you: I hate Thalia How could say that! Finally Amy is showing interest in Ephram and Thalia say that, it's just so unfair...
Authors Explanation-
I know it is but Ephram promised Delia he'll take her, and he bails on her the day of the game, cool enough, Amy wants to start somethign with Ephram, but she's only doing it because she has no-one else. Don't worry Amy will get her date and Ephram will get his chance.

LVHamlet Ok, this fic it's really good, but you have to write.(so you have to put a little less music and more about write) Authors Explanation-
I'd like to thank LVHamlet thanks for the reviews, it isn't unfair, people might just not like the story and don't wanna say that, but if you do read it and like it, please review, I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong, Everwood isn't on in Australia till May so I'm kinda going by the trailers and scripts.
