The concert ended around 10pm, but Madison knew that Ephram would have to stay with the rest of the orchestra for a little while longer so she decided to take everybody else home instead of wait around since four of them had to catch a plane around 9am the next morning. Delia was excited, "Did you see that?! I've never seen somebody, not even Ephram, play two keyboards at once!"
Quinn was also excited, "The duel between the two violins was the greatest part, I could never imagine being that good! Its mind blowing, there's nothing like it!"

Everybody talked about the concert all the way home, Andy said, "I knew Ephram was good, but I never actually knew the full extent until tonight. That solo he did was brilliant, never thought he could pull anything like that off!"

Ephram got home around 11:30pm, everybody else asleep, Madison in their bed reading a good book. He got ready for bed then climbed in next to her, giving her a sweet kiss that seemed to linger. Her hair waving in the breeze from the open window, she half smiled then kissed him passionately. After they pulled away, the two talked about the concert for a little while before going to bed. Ephram whispered, "I love you, with every ounce of my soul"

"I know" whispered Madison back as she touched his face. The two fell asleep in each other's arms, holding each other.

Delia woke up a little before 7am and got ready, packed her things and set the bag near the door before deciding to wake everybody else up. She woke up Jess, then the two woke up Bright then proceeded to wake up Andy by pulling the covers off of him and pulling him out of bed by his feet. All the commotion and laughter woke up Ephram and Madison and they realized that they had to take the four back to the airport in less than 20 minutes. The flight leaves at 9am, but they have to arrive at least an hour and a half early. The remaining slowpokes got ready in 20 minutes and were out the door less than 10 minutes later, all the while Madison saying, "Jess, got everything? Delia, didn't forget anything did you? Bright, got all your gifts and everything else? Andy, are you all ready to go? Is everybody ready to go? Nobody forgot anything did they, because once we leave we cant come back."
"Relax, Madison!" replied Delia not too concerned, "besides, if we did then you can just mail it back to us."

Ephram looked at his dad, then to his sister then to Jess and Bright, "It was fun having you guys here, we're glad you came!"

"Not like you woulda had a choice in that matter" replied Delia, "we were coming whether you wanted us to or not." she laughed, "but, it was fun and I'm going to miss you guys as soon as I get back on that plane cuz I know I wont be seeing you for at least six months or so!"

"Don't start crying, Delia" warned Madison as she looked in the mirror at her, "or else you'll end up making me cry!"

Jess chimed in, "well, all this talk about crying is going to make me cry!"
Finally they got to the airport and before the four entered through the gates, they said their goodbyes, "I told you not to cry!" Madison said alarmed as she saw Delia tear up as they hugged goodbye.

"Its not like I can help it!" she said, trying to muffle her cries in her sleeve. Just then Jess started crying as she hugged Madison goodbye, "Ephram, take care of my girl for me!"

"I'm trying to keep my composure" sniffed Madison, "but you two aren't making it any easier! I love you guys and we'll see you sooner than you think!"

Bright hugged Ephram goodbye, then everybody else hugged everybody else before going through the gates. Before Jess left, she wiped a tear away from Madison's face, "take care of yourself…"

Madison gritted her teeth and tried to hold back the tears as she blinked several times with her head tilted as she leaned against Ephram who was standing behind her, his arms wrapped around her and his chin on her shoulder. The two hung around until the plane left the gate, then Ephram whispered, "how you doin?". Madison turned around, still in his arms and tried to smile, "sad, but it was good to see them." He pursed his lips and looked into her eyes, "lets go home…" Madison wiped a tear from her face and nodded her head. The two walked arm in arm back to the car, all the while Ephram whispering sweet nothings into her ear to cheer her up.
