*******************************************************
It had been one month since Tommy left and one month since Ephram and Thalia stopped talking, if it hadn't been for Bright, Thalia's world would have crumbled by now. Thalia knew it was her fault, and nothing she did made it better. Ephram seemed to just not want to know her anymore, she had differiantly hit it where it hurts.
She had tried every single day for the last two weeks to talk to him, but he would just glare at her, or get up and walk away. Bright and Amy felt the strain aswell. Bright stopped hanging out with Ephram and Amy stopped hanging out with Thalia. They would still secretly talk to each-other but Ephram had to be out of the room before he would let Thalia commit to the conversation.
It was one of those days were it was relatively warm but with a hint of summer breeze. Dr Brown was helping Ephram wash his car, when Thalia walked out of their house and ran up to Andy.
"Hey Thalia" Dr Brown said, unaware of the fuming tension on Ephrams face when he saw Thalia.
"Hi Dr Brown, sorry to disturb you but there's a call for you from a Revron Hailworth, he says it's important and I think you should hurry cause when I left Delia was asking him why she should believe in god"
Dr Brown laughed "Thanks Thalia, here could you help Ephram while I take the call"
"I really should..." She began but Dr Brown was already gone. "Sure, ok.......so, uhh, what would you like me to do?" She asked Ephram uneasily, he just glared at her.
"Nothing, I'm done"
"Oh...ok, Listen Ephram...." Ephram turned on the hose so he couldn't hear her.
"Ephram, I really need to talk to you.....Ephram..." Thalia was getting angry now, so she pulled the hose out of the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?" He yelled, turning round to face her.
"I need to talk to you" She replied, walking up to him so there faces where inches apart.
"Well. I don't want to talk to you"
"Why?"
"Because I hate you" He said harshly, instantly regretting it. Thalia felt crushed and broken and her body language showed it aswell. She looked down at her feet for a few minutes trying to find the words. After a few seconds she looked back up at Ephram, he was standing there tongue-tied aswell.
"I hate myself too," She said quietly, knocking back tears she handed him the hose and walked towards her house. Ephram threw the hose on the ground and kicked the bucket. Looking up he saw Delia and Dr Brown who were both dumbfounded and shocked, which made things a whole lot worse.
Thalia ran inside and straight up to her room. As soon as her head hi the pillow the tears started to fall., not hard weezy one's soft silent one's. The most heartbreaking tears of all. It felt like her heart was crying so hard that the only sound she could make was a soft murmur. She knew what she did was wrong, but she had no idea Ephram was listening and if she did, she might not have said it that way, she just could never imagine Ephram would hate her for it.
She spent all night just lying in that spot crying. Even when Nina ordered chinese Thalia's favourite food,she didn't came out. She just shut down. Didn't move, didn't speak. Just sat still lying their, she wanted to disappear like vapour. All the time Ephrams harsh words digging into her, ripping through her mind and her heart. She drifted of into sleep, the words silently leaving her, like whispers inside her head.
Because I hate you
