Sunday afternoon came and Thalia decided to go over and visit (Ephram) and Delia. She rang the doorbell and was surprised to see Dr Brown at the door.
"Hello Thalia, come in, I won't be here for long just came back to get my briefcase," He said, pointing towards his desk. "Ephram, Thalia's here"
"I'm here to see Delia actually" Thalia corrected him. He raised his eyebrowns curiously but didn't have a chance to ask a question for Delia walked in and read his mind.
"Ephram isn't talking to Thalia. Because he's mean and everybody I like he always pushers away" She said, smiling at both of them. Thalia could hear Ephram walking down the stairs. So she opted for a quick escape. After what he said to her a week ago she couldn't bear to see his face again. She didn't know why it hurt so much.
"Hey everybody?" Ephram said, he paused when he saw Thalia. Both Delia and Dr Brown could feel the tension between them.
"What are you doing here?" He asked harshly.
"She's here to see me, hands off or I'll kick you" Delia said, pulling Thalia into the lounge room.
Ephram deliberatly sat in there aswell. Dr Brown decided to leave before he was sucked into the latest friend fight. Ephram sat on the couch staring at nothing and Delia and Thalia sat on either side of the cofee table. Delia looked at both Ephram and Thalia. She hated them fighting like this. It made her unhappy. So, she decided to do something about it.
"Do you want to play SNAP?" Delia asked, Thalia nodded and smiled when she got Delia's point.
"I'll go get the cards." She said getting up, gesturing towards Ephram,"Don't hurt her feelings."
Ephram glared at her as she walked up stairs he caught Thalia's eye and raised his eyebrows.
"So, how are you today" Thalia asked, hoping small talk can lead to an apology. But Ephram just wen't to staring at nothign again. Ignoring her.
"Look, Ephram" She began, getting up and sitting next to him, "I didn't come here to play SNAP with Delia, I'm not gonna say I didn't mean what I said cause I did. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there and if I knew it would hurt you this bad I wouldn't have said it. I would have keeped it to myself. Are you listening to me?"
Ephram pretends his not by looking farther away from her but he really is and trying hard not to break down an apologise himself.
"Of coarse your not. You Hate Me." Thalia remembered, how could she forget. Ephram looked at her, he couldn't stand seeing her like this. He knew he was the cure and he wasn't about to let his bestest friend in the world slip away. Because he doesn't want to give in to his pride.
"I don't hate you" Ephram said, quickly. Catching her attention."Your right. Amy and I don't belong we never did we just were attracted to each- other and I fell in love with her. After all she did to me and all that's happen it doesn't take a genius to see that maybe it's not a fairytale love. But now that Amy has finally seen me as more then a shoulder to cry on I wanna try and see if it will work and if it doesn't then I guess friends is as good as it gets."
Thalia nodded understanding the whole deal for the first time.
"Ok" She said breakign the silence. Ephram continued on
"I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I mean, I thought I did before I said it, but after I did all I wanted was my friend back and I don't care what you said or what you meant by it. Your opionative and I can't change that. You didn't know I was there. I overreacted and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you. I love you. In a friend way"
Thalia smiled for the first time in ages. "Me too."
Ephram pulled Thalia towards him and hugged her tightly. They stayed like that until Delia walked in. She looked at them curiously.
"I knew leaving you here for five minutes would fix things up," She siad smiling, the both looked at each-other then at her."Uhh, I think we should stop saying things outloud,
Ephram agreed with a nod of his head.
"Now who wants to play SNAP" Delia asked holding up the cards.
Ephram and Thalia groaned and sunk into the couch.
