~~Ephram: I don't want to talk right now... (he looked away)
Madison: Fine (putting some clothes on) I'll be downstairs when you're ready~~
She was about to walk out the door when Ephram spoke.
Ephram: Wait
Madison stopped and slowly turned around.
Ephram: (looked down and mumbled) It's Jay...
Madison: Wait...Jay?! I thought we talked about this?? I thought you were ok?
Ephram: Well I'm not! I'm not ok with being the stupid "piano kid!"
Madison: (sitting on the bed) I don't know what to do about this Ephram...I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Ephram: I know...that's why I've tried to deal with it for so long...but I just can't take it anymore!
Madison: Why didn't you say anything before?
Ephram: I didn't want to put you in that position, I don't want you to quit the band, I don't...I don't know
Madison: (looked down) I know it's hard-
Ephram: No you don't know! You don't know how it feels to have to keep us a secret!
Madison: You think I don't want to tell people, do you think that I don't wanna hold your hand and kiss you in public??? I want to more than anything...and don't for one second think that I don't...I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of us, I just don't want to be taken away from you!!
Ephram: (sighed) I know...I know that, it's just hard...and every time he says something, about you and him or about how you and me will never happen, I just want to tell him that we are happening, and that...I don't know...I don't know what I'm saying
Madison: Ephram...I wish this was easier, but it's not...we knew it wasn't going to be, we knew it was gonna be hard...but we also knew that we would get through it...together, as long as we stay together and talk things out...we'll get through it...I know it sounds stupid and I know that I've put you in an impossible situation...but...I can't lose you, I love you so much...(she paused) if...if it really bothers you that much...I'll quit the ban-
Ephram: No! I'm not gonna be the reason you quit something you love...that would just make me feel worse...(he got up and went to sit next to her) I guess we signed up for this when we got into this thing...
Madison: (half smiled while wiping away tears) yeah...I guess we did
Ephram looked down and started twiddling his fingers, Madison grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers. He looked up and smiled at her.
