When he got there, Madison was waiting outside for him, "What's wrong with you?" she asked with a slight smile.

"I hate arguing with you, I feel like such a retard. I mean, I should understand what's going on with Leah, but I don't, maybe I'm just jealous, who knows. Then I barely see you between you working and practicing with your band. I guess you could say I miss spending time with you. Geeze, I'm rambling!" he tossed up his hand out of frustration.
She couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, trying not to smile, "you are so difficult to plan anything for, you know that!"
"What do you mean?" he asked softly, looking at the ground, gritting his teeth.

She pulled his arm and dragged him into the studio where her band was set up.

"Sit here" she said pointing to the stool. "This is what we've been practicing for the passed week." she went to the microphone and the band started. This sound was familiar to him, but, it couldn't be…could it? Just as soon as he recognized that it was a faster version of the song he wrote for Madison, she started singing, "Breath-leeess, that's how you lee-eave me when you kiss me good nii-ee-ight. You take my breath away when you walk into the roo-oom. I love everything about you, even your quirks and that little thee-ing you do when you're upset" she sang for a couple more minutes, all the while, Ephram's hand over his mouth. He was in awe, the song he wrote for her a few years ago was now written as a punk rock song with lyrics. He was speechless.

When she was done, she tilted her head and looked at Ephram walking over to him. He stood up and said softly, "I feel like such...an asshole…"

She grabbed his neck and pulled him towards her and embraced him in a hug, whispering, "now we're even."

"That…was so…awesome."
She pulled away, "now, when ever you're upset, talk to me about it, please! Don't make a huge deal out of it by doing what you were doing. Communication, Ephram, it works."

He knew she was right Rubbing his eyes he said, "I know! I hate fighting or even arguing with you…I should have talked to you about it rather than just accuse you."

She smirked, "you spoke to Delia again, didn't you?"

"Is it that obvious?" he smiled, "she's such a brilliant 13 year old. She told me I was being a doofus and pretty much said that communication is key…I promise…if anything bothers me again, then I will talk to you about it."
She leaned in to kiss him sweetly, "that's all I ask for." then she playfully pushed him, "and because you made me ruin the surprise, its not going to be as cool when I play at the campus center!"
Ephram looked up at the ceiling, not sure what to say, "…I'm in awe right now…no words can do that justice…." he looked at Madison, then she said, pulling him to her, "here, let me try" and she kissed him passionately.

Ephram hungered for that kiss, because they had been arguing/fighting for the passed couple days, they hadn't done much of anything else.

"Lets go out to eat, tonight? You pick" Ephram said as he helped her pack up her stuff.

"Sounds like a plan." she said looking up, "why don't we go to that new place just outside of Boulder?"

The two finished packing her stuff, then they went to Madison's place so she could get ready for the evening out. Jess kept him company while Madison got ready, "let me come!" she said jokingly.

Ephram joked back, "yeah, call up Bright and we can double date."

"Don't tempt me, Brown!" she yelled laughing, flopping on the couch.

"Why haven't you two started dating yet?" inquired Ephram, sitting next to her.

She looked around, "he's too….uhhh…I don't know, he's just a cool friend, that's all."

"Okay, I'll go with that."

Finally Madison was ready and the two left for their dinner date arm in arm.
