Author's Note: This has nothing to do with the story, but I heard that Everwood might not make it to 3rd season because of a small audience. In some ways I knew it wouldn't. Everwood has a good story line and good acting but at times it's depressing. But that might not be why Everwood has a small audience.
**Chapter 3 -The Concert-**
It was finally Thursday. The day before Madison's big concert. He decided to take his friend Don. Don was his first friend at Julliard. He told him everything about what happened when he bumped into Madison.
"Whoa DUDE! You bumped into you're EX! And she gave you front row tickets to her concert! AND she letting us come with her to the AFTER PARTY! WOOHOO!" Don starts jumping around the apartment. "I wonder if there's babes there. EPHRAM you're so cool! And I thought you were boring!"
"Calm down Fido." said Ephram getting a little annoyed. "I don't even know I want to go." When Don hears this he jumps over like a bunny onto the couch where Ephram is sitting.
"Dude, you hafta go! If you don't go I CAN'T go! Then I CAN'T hook up wit girls." Starting to look mad.
"There are tons of girls at school."
"Yeah... but they're smart. And half the girls there are probably drunk, so..." Then he does that up and down thing with his eyebrows.
"... 'dude' you're so lame." Ephram said throwing pillows at him. "Fine, but promise you won't bring drugs this time." Don starts laughing.
"Yeah whatever..." Don said crossing his fingers and laughing. "sucker" he said silently. Ephram looks at him like he doesn't believe him. The rest of the day was pretty boring. He had one more class at night. It was another music history class. He spent the whole class writing down notes which was three hours. By the time he left the class his hand was so swollen that he had to drive home with his left hand.
At nine o'clock he went out to eat with some friends. They bought take-out food from a chinese restaurant to the Ephram and Don's apartment with five of his friends. They talked about going to the concert and about Madison.
"Was it hard seeing her again?" Said Teri, a lady friend from Julliard.
"No, why would it be? It's been four years."
"But you hurt her badly. If you did that to me, I don't think I'll ever forgive you."
"Um... But it wasn't me who started the kiss, it was Amy." Raising his hands up like he always does.
"Ok, whatever the point is that it seems that she forgave you." Teri said while forcing Ephram to nod with her hands. Everyone laughed.
"God, isn't she controlling?" Bob said before taking a sip of his beer. "Enough of this girl... what are you going to do at the party? Get drunk or drunker?"
"I think you're mistaken me for Don." Ephram said pointing at Don. Everyone laughed.
"Well Mr. I-never-wanna-do-anything, I'm going to have fun at this party." Don said sticking his tongue out. After that they just continued talking and drinking beer. Finally they all left.

The hours past and Friday night finally came. Ephram wore a long black Ecko Unito sleeves shirt with blue baggy jeans. He gelled his hair to perfection like he always does. Don wore whatever was on the ground, whether it was clean or dirty he put it on. Sometimes Ephram tries to remember why he lives with him, such a mystery.
"That's dirty, you haven't cleaned that shirt for two weeks now," Ephram said looking disgusted. Don just gave him the finger. Ephram stared at him stupidly.
"Now there's a million-dollar answer."

They took a yellow taxi to the stadium knowing that there will no parking spots there. When they got there it seemed like millions of people were there. They some how managed to get in with 10 minutes to spare. Their seats were right in the middle of the front row.
"THESE ARE AWESOME SEATS!! WOOHOO!" Don said yelling over the screaming crowd.
"Yeah! SHE GAVE US PRETTY GOOD SEATS!
Soon the concert started and everyone settled down, barely. Smoke appeared through the stage with different colored lights flashing from all sides. The first sound they hear is the sudden loud guitar going off, then the drums start, then bass guitar brings it all together. For a split second the music stops and all lights shine on a object coming out the floor. A young woman appears. She wears a black tank top ripped at the stomach so you can see her belly button, with a tight ripped at the bottom dark blue jeans. Her head is tilted down with her long hair blocking her face.
The moment he hears her voice he looks up from the ground. Astonished by how good she has gotten over the years he can't stop looking at her. Madison sees Ephram in the front seat staring up at her, she gives him a wink, then returns to the rest of the crowd.
