EPHRAM POV
[County High - Friday morning - before classes start]
I was looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found. I asked her friends. The ones she barely talks to anymore. They asked me what my name was again, and looked at me like I had last year's 'it' colour all over me. I gave that up really fast. I finally decided to just go to class. As I passed my locker, I noticed a note sticking out of it. I walked over and pulled it out.
It read: Room 134. Now. Bring your backpack.
I was confused, but I went to the instructed room after getting my backpack out of my locker. I went to open the door, but on the handle was a pink heart-shaped post-it. I picked it up and there was another instruction.
It read: Front doors. Don't be late.
Alright then. I walked through the crowded halls to the front doors, and then I saw her. She was beautiful. But then again, when is she not? I grinned and walked up to her.
"Hey."
"You're good at following directions."
"I know. Screw piano. I should become a professional direction follower."
She giggled and took my hand in hers and led me to her car.
"Hop in. We're going on a road trip."
"I thought you didn't like missing school."
"That was Boring Amy. This is Badass Amy."
I laughed and got in the car. There was a knock at my window moments later. Laynie. She motioned for me to unroll my window.
"Hi Laynie. What can I do for you?" Ephram asked.
"Where are you guys going?" Laynie asked curiously.
"Road trip. Don't tell anyone, Layn. Please?" Amy pleaded, starting the car.
"Fine. Have fun." Laynie sighed and walked towards the school.
Amy started to drive, and she gave me a map when we go onto the Interstate. She told me to close my eyes and point to anywhere on the map. I did so. Los Angeles, California.
About four hours later I woke up from my light sleep and saw that we were parked at a gas station, and Amy was nowhere to be found. Crap. I got out of the car and jogged around, looking for her.
"Ephram!" I heard her voice. Thank god.
She smiled and walked over to me. "Where were you?" I asked.
"Paying for the gas." Amy looked at me, puzzled.
I sighed, relieved, and hugged her from behind. I felt her sigh and she leaned her head on my shoulder. I sure love this girl.
AMY POV
Ephram's arms were around me. I felt secure and happy. I slowly broke the embrace and walked back to the car. He followed closely. I got in the drivers side, and started the car. Ephram got in and put a CD in the CD player. The song sounded vaguely familiar. I began to drive.
"What CD is this?" I asked him.
"Dashboard Confessional." He answered.
"Nice. I love this CD." I quickly turned and smiled at Ephram before looking back at the road.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ephram grin, pull out a book and begin to read. About 10 minutes later, Ephram dropped the book and turned to me.
"Pull over." He said, smirking.
"What?" I asked dumbly.
"Pull over." He said again.
"You can't just randomly pull over on the interstate." I informed him.
"It'll only be for a minute. Just pull over." Ephram instructed.
"Fine." I said, and quickly pulled the car into the shallow ditch. "Happy?"
"Very." Ephram said, brushing his soft lips against mine.
"Eph-...Ephram. Why did you make me pull over? Illegaly, may I add." I spoke as Ephram repeatedly kissed my neck. I could barely breathe.
"I needed to kiss you." Ephram whispered, before attacking my neck once again.
I moaned and undid my seatbelt to get closer to him. My hands were cupping his neck, pulling him closer. His hands were running madly down my back. As I went to straddle him, I hit my elbow on the steering wheel.
"Ow! Dammit!" I cursed.
"You okay?" Ephram asked. I could tell he was trying not to laugh.
"I'm fine. We should get going anyway." I said nonchalantly.
"Alright. Let's roll." Ephram said.
I started driving again, taking all the correct turns that would take us to L.A. About 3 and a half hours later, I saw a sign that said 'Los Angeles-70 miles'. We were almost there. I also noticed that I was extremely hungry. I saw a convenience store and pulled into the parking lot.
NORMAL POV
Amy pulled into the parking lot and got out of car, letting Ephram sleep for a bit longer. As Amy went in the store, she noticed some dirty looking men staring at her. One man motioned towards her. She shrugged it off and went inside. Amy was browsing the drinks when she heard a voice behind her.
"Hey there." Said a rough and unfriendly voice.
"Oh. Hello." Amy said as politely as she could.
"You're a pretty girl. Pretty girls shouldn't be all alone like this." The man said with a smirk.
"Oh, I'm not alone. My boyfriend is in the car." Amy said, wishing that Ephram would come in the store.
"Oh really? What's his name, sweetheart?" The man spoke roughly. Amy could see that he was missing several teeth, and he had horrible breath. She backed away slightly.
"His name is Ephram." Amy said shortly, grabbing a bottle of Diet Coke.
"Ephram? Interesting name. What's your name?" The man asked, moving closer to Amy.
"What's yours?" Amy tried to avoid the question.
"I asked you first, honey." He said. Amy was frightened by the look in his eyes. They were somewhat menacing.
"Well..." Amy stalled. Then she heard her name.
"Amy!" Ephram said, jogging up to Amy. "Dammit, Amy. Why do you keep leaving me in the car? I wake up and you're gone. Who the hell are you?" Ephram directed his attention to the stranger standing dangerously close to Amy.
"Mitch. You must be Ephram." The man named Mitch said, smiling slightly. Amy shivered.
"Yeah. I'm Ephram. Do I know you?" Ephram said, as Amy clung to his side.
"I was just having a conversation with Amy." He emphasized her name, which made her shiver even more. Amy just wanted to pay for her drink and leave.
"Sure. Come on Amy. Let's pay for that drink and get out of here." it was like Ephram had read her mind. Amy nodded and pulled him to the cashier. Ephram paid, and they went to the car. "You okay, Amy?"
"Yeah. It's just... that guy was kind of scaring me." Amy said, wrapping her arms around herself.
"It's okay. Let's just keep going. Do you want me to drive?" Ephram asked.
"Yes. Please. I need some sleep." Amy yawned. They got in the car, and Ephram drove the remaining 70 miles.
[small motel- outskirts of L.A]
"Amy. Amy, wake up." Ephram said as he lightly shook Amy.
"Mpphtt. What." Amy said groggily.
"It's almost dark. Maybe we should get a room." Ephram felt himself blush at the implication of his words.
"Sure. I'm tired." Amy said, stretching.
"How much money do you have? I have my emergency credit card and some change, but it would be nice to have some cash." Ephram said.
"I've got... $73.45." Amy said, going through her purse.
"That should be enough. I'll pay for the room on the credit card, and we can buy food and stuff with your money." Ephram said, getting out of the car.
"Sounds good." Amy agreed, getting out of the car as well.
The couple booked a room and got the key. They opened the door to find a medium-sized room with a double bed. The blanket had some questionable stains on it, as did the carpet, which was an odd shade of green. There was a flimsy looking table beside the bed with a lamp. Amy walked over to turn it on. It flickered, but was bright enough to light the room. Ephram cautiously walked over to the bathroom. It was decent enough, considering the price of the room. The shower curtain was slightly torn, and the tap was dripping.
"It'll do." Ephram called to Amy.
"Yeah. I guess." Amy said.
Ephram walked into the main area. Amy was sitting at the end of the bed, looking at him.
"What?" Ephram smirked.
"Nothing. Just thinking." Amy smiled faintly.
Ephram walked over to the bed so he was standing between Amy's knees. She looked up at him. Ephram leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Amy's soft lips. The kiss quickly turned into a harsh, primal and passionate kiss. Both had to stop to breathe. As soon as they were ready, their lips attacked each other once again. Ephram's hand ran madly up Amy's back. She didn't stop him like he had expected. Amy lay down, pulling Ephram with her. She tugged at his shirt and Ephram helped her take it off. Ephram quickly undid the buttons of Amy's shirt. He buried his face into Amy's neck. Realization suddenly hit Amy like a kick to the teeth. She quickly pushed Ephram off of her.
"Dammit, Amy. What the hell?" Ephram swore in frustration.
"Ephram... Not here. Not now." Amy explained, buttoning her shirt back up.
"You can't just.do.that." Ephram spat, motioning to the bed.
"Just stop it! I don't want my first time to be in some cheap motel. You of all people should understand that!" Amy said, getting angry.
"Oh, and what's that supposed to mean?" Ephram shouted.
"You know perfectly well what I mean, Ephram. Bright told me. About you and Madison in your car." Amy said, starting to calm down.
"Jeeze, Amy." Ephram said, running his hands through his messy hair and sitting on the bed next to Amy.
"Can we just go to sleep?" Amy whispered.
"Sure. But I think we should call our parents first. You know, to tell them that we're okay." Ephram said, taking out his cell phone.
Ephram dialed his house. Andy picked up. Ephram explained that he was fine, and that he could not babysit Delia on the weekend. Amy heard shouting on the other end of the phone. Some muffled swear words were being said. Clearly, Andy was not happy. Ephram apologized and hung up. He handed the phone to Amy.
"My dad is pissed. But I think he'll get over it. He's getting Bright to babysit Delia. You should get it over with." Ephram encouraged.
"Yeah. But they're not going to be happy." Amy said, taking the phone from Ephram.
Amy dialed. There was shouting. Then there was calm. Amy apologized. She nodded. She said goodbye.
"You okay?" Ephram said, hugging Amy to him.
"No. But I will be. Let's go to sleep." Amy said, laying down.
Ephram's arms were still securely around Amy as they both fell asleep.
