When Ephram got home Madison was there waiting for him. She looked
upset about something.
"Hey," Ephram said kissing her quickly on the lips, "You're here?" he said smiling showing her that he was pleased that she was here.
"Ephram," she took a deep breath and looked at him, "who was that girl I saw you with today?" Ephram was confused for a second, what was she talking about? Then he realized she must have driven by and seen him and Peyton together. But she must have seen Bright with them, why was she so concerned. Ephram tried to sound casual, it was no big deal.
"That was Peyton, she's new here," he said, "I was just welcoming her to Everwood that's all." Madison didn't look satisfied with his answer. She nodded her head,
"She's really pretty, really really beautiful," she said looking at her feet. Ephram didn't know what to say, did Madison think he was cheating on her or something. How weird, he was the devoted one, who spent every waking minute with her, and the one who had told her he loved her. He touched her cheek lightly in reasurance and looked into her eyes,
"I love you, and I think YOU'RE beautiful," he said slowly. Madison smiled at him, he had to be the most devoted loyal boyfriend ever she didn't know why she had worried. It was just when she saw the two together they were laughing and Peyton was looking at him like.....oh....Madison wasn't sure. She had seen Bright there too but when she had seen them it just seemed like there was something special between Ephram and Peyton, luckily, she was wrong. She smiled at him and leaned in to kiss him. They stopped short when hearing Delia calling,
"Madison?!?! Where are you?" Madison smiled she missed babysitting Delia and spending time with her she was an adorable sweet kid, but it was too weird, with her dating Ephram and all. But she was still friends with Delia, Delia idolized Madison to no extent. Delia ran into the room, dissapointed when she saw Ephram, once Ephram arrived Madison spent all of her time with him and none with her. Madison spoke to Ephram,
"I should go," she then turned to Delia got down on a knee and told her that they would play with Delia's new toy next time she was over, but she had to leave now." Delia knew it was never going to happen, Madison came over just to talk to Ephram not to hang out with Delia. She stood up and looked once again at Ephram,
"Look, I'm sorry about umm...being worried about Peyton, I should have known you would never ever do anything behind my back, I'm so so sorry." She kissed him quickly and left out the side door. Delia gave Ephram a mean glare.
"What is it now?" Ephram asked shaking his head and walking away from her towards the kitchen. Delia decided on a good silent treatment she would give him mean stares until he finally treated her nicely and asked her politely why she was upset. That always worked. Ephram opened the fridge looking for something Delia and himself could eat. His father was spending the night with Linda so Delia and him were all alone. Ephram hated babysitting Delia lately she had become so moody. When he tried to do something with her or help her with homework she would bite back. He couldn't figure her out. He took out cold pizza from the fridge and put two pieces on a paper plate for Delia and left in on the counter, took three for himself and headed for the couch to watch TV. Delia took her pizza and ate him quietly on the kitchen table. She hated her Dad for leaving her so many nights alone with Ephram while he had fun with Linda. She hated Ephram for not caring enough to want to spend time with her. She liked Madison but hated how she liked Ephram. Needless to say, Delia was not in a good mood, she finished her pizza ran up into her room and slammed the door behind her. She lay on her bed she missed how it used to be when they had first moved here. Ephram would always be in the room next to her doing whatever he liked to do, her Dad would tuck her in and talk to her about whatever she wanted to talk about. She thought of her mother, she came pretty close to crying, but she was too angry for that.
Ephram was still sprawled out on the couch when Andy Brown finally arrived home at 10:30. His Dad walked in happily, he always was happy after coming back from Lindas, and called out to Ephram.
"Ephram are you still awake?" Ephram chose to remain silent, he hated having to answer obvious pointless questions, obviously he was awake. His Dad walked up to the table took the remote from the table and turned the TV off. Ephram didn't really care he wasn't really watching it anyways.
"So how was school?" Andy Brown liked to pretend he was interested in his children's lives, that's at least what Ephram thought was happening. Because in truth if Andy Brown really cared about his children he would be spending his time with them and not Linda. Ephram stood up slowly from his position on the sofa.
"Good," he said rolling his eyes, he also hated how his Dad asked him that, it was the number one favorite parent's question and it was just plain stupid. When he was older he would know all of his kid's classes and all about their projects he would ask how did your science project on whatever go? Yes, he would be a great father some day. He would spend time with his kids, he would treat them like adults, he wouldn't ignore their problems, and he certainly wouldn't ask his kids pointless questions like how was school. Ephram left the room and went up stairs to go to bed, he ignored his father's goodnight completely. Andy Brown was left alone in the living room shaking his head puzzled, what did he do wrong?
"Hey," Ephram said kissing her quickly on the lips, "You're here?" he said smiling showing her that he was pleased that she was here.
"Ephram," she took a deep breath and looked at him, "who was that girl I saw you with today?" Ephram was confused for a second, what was she talking about?
