He got in the car and closed the door.
"So where were you?" She asked with curiosity.
"Oh...uh...just saying bye to Bright...for the first time, I'm glad I don't have more friends." He said.
Madison laughed as she pulled into the Brown's driveway. Ephram ran in and got his stuff, then threw it in the trunk.
"Ready?" Madison asked as he got back in.
"yeah..." He buckled his seat belt.
As they backed out of the driveway it hit him. This was no longer his home. He no longer lived here. They weren't just backing out of a driveway, they were backing out of his life, the life he had lived for the past 3 years. The life he was just starting to get used to. Now he had a whole new one. A harder life. A more confusing life. How long would it take him to get used to this one?
About half-way through the ride, Julia started crying. Madison pulled over on the shoulder and turned the car off.
"God she must be starving...I totally forgot to feed her before we left..." Madison opened her door and went around to the back. She picked up the baby and brought her back to the front seat. "I know...I know sweetie, just gimme a second..."
Ephram was already getting uncomfortable, he had no idea what he was supposed to do. Should he just sit there, no that would be rude. "Uh...do you want me to get out o-or something?" he stuttered.
Madison smiled and shook her head as she started unbuttoning her shit, while cradling Julia in the other arm. "You don't have to do that Ephram...it's nothing you haven't seen before..." she really didn't mind him being there.
Ephram nodded, she was right, but he still felt awkward.
While Madison was feeding Julia, she and Ephram talked. Mostly about things that they really didn't care about. Both were avoiding the inevitable. The talk about what would happen next. It was something they were both thinking about, but didn't want to admit it, cause truthfully, they didn't know. They had no idea what was going to happen next. No idea what to do about their very unique situation.
Julia finally finished and Madison put her back in her seat. They started driving again. Now they were both in silence.
Ephram decided to say something, "so...how were your parents?"
Madison nodded, still looking forward, "they were fine...they really love Julia"
Ephram smiled, "How could you not?"
Madison nodded again, "Good point"
Ephram looked back at his daughter, she was already asleep.
"Well anyways...I told them about our new situation..." she continued.
"and..." Ephram hoped they weren't mad or anything.
Madison smiled, "And they were happy about it...very impressed...they said that normal teenaged boys would run away from that kind of responsibility...but then I explained to them that you were not a normal teenager"
Ephram looked at her, "Is that a good thing?"
Madison glanced at him, then back at the road, "a very good thing"
