Flash back: Ephram cut off his father, "Dad, why the hell didn't you tell
me about Madison."
Chapter :3
When Andy heard Ephram utter those words, he knew that his, and Ephram's, would never be the same. None of his reasons for keeping Madison's pregnancy from Ephram seemed reasonable anymore.
Andy: "Ephram, you have to try and understand, I did it for you. I kept it from you because I cared about you and didn't want you to throw your life away."
Ephram: "Care about me? Please Dad, all you have ever cared about is yourself. You didn't want to be a grandfather or help me raise my son, so you left Madison alone to try to raise this baby by herself. You disgust me!"
Andy knew how worked up Ephram was getting and tried to calm him down. "Ephram, don't jump to conclusions. I knew she would need help, so I gave her all the money she would need and..."
Ephram cut him off. "Money? Madison doesn't need money, she needs help and the baby needs a father. Sure, I wasn't ready for all of this last year, but that's only because I didn't have to be. I don't want to be the crappy parent you were for the first 16 years of my life or have my son growing up and always asking Madison why he doesn't have a Dad. I want to and am going to be a good father and be involved in my son's life."
Andy: "Ephram, don't you understand? This would mean giving up Julliard and the rest of your life goals, all to raise a baby with a woman you don't even love."
Ephram: "But I did love her and the baby was a product of the love we once shared. I still care about her life. Dad, I'm going to be in the baby's life no matter what, the only thing I'm unsure about is whether or not I want to be in yours."
Before Andy could reply, Ephram stormed upstairs to his room and locked the door. After a quick google search, he found Madison's new address online. "If I leave now, I can be there in an hour," muttered Ephram as he turned the computer off. Ephram quickly and quietly climbed out of his window and managed to reach the driveway without alerting his Dad or waking up Delia. With the blink of an eye, Ephram was speeding off towards Boulder. He had no idea what he was going to say to Madison, but he knew that he needed to say something.
Meanwhile, Amy Abbott was at home, channeling flipping on the couch as Bright walked into the room. Like the great brother he is, Bright could sense that something was wrong.
Bright: "Amy home alone on a Saturday night? That must mean that Ephram's sick, on vacation or completely blew you off. So which is it, A, B, C or all of the above?"
A: "For your information, Ephram and I were out, but he had to go and you weren't home, so Dad drove me home."
Bright: "He had to go? Had to go where, I mean I'm the kids only other friend and he wasn't with me! It had to be pretty important to make him leave you, considering that you two are practically stuck at the hip these days."
Amy: "Actually, it's kind of weird. I left him alone for like 10 minutes and when I came back, Ephram was totally spaced out. He looked really worried, so I let him leave and didn't question him about it....but every since then I've been wondering what he would possibly be keeping from me?"
Before Bright could give her one of his crazy theories on what was wrong, Amy went upstairs to cry to shake off her theory that Ephram, the love of her life, was keeping something for her. Meanwhile, Bright decided that he would confront Ephram the next day and see if he could maybe figure out what was bothering him.
Some1 mentioned that I can only get signed reviews...How do I change that lol?
I probably won't be able to update tomorrow, but if I get reviews, I'll try to have something up by Saturday!
