A/N: auggy1984: Okay, okay. Like I said, this story is pretty much Amy & Ephram, but the sequel will have a lot more Madison & Ephram. And, I'm already done writing "Everwood: Season 3", but I'm still working on, "Everwood: Season 4". Now, I wasn't going to do this, but I'll do it once and only once. Here is a preview of a scene from the sixth "episode" of "Everwood: Season 4"....
Preview:
"Do you still love Madison?"
"Yes, but not in the same way I love you; she's more than 'just a friend' but not quite a girlfriend. You have to understand that she'll always have a place in my heart though. She was my first real relationship, the first woman I slept with, and the Mother of my first child. She'll always be special to me and we'll always have a bond: Kelly."
A few tears formed in Amy's eyes.
The tears didn't go unnoticed by Ephram. "Don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm just telling you the truth, Amy. And the truth is, I'll always love Madison more than just any old friend. I'll always love you too. It's different though, because you're the woman that I want..no, I need to spend the rest of my life with. You're my one and only. I'm helplessly and hopelessly in love with you." He said, with pure sincerity in his voice.
Of course he still loves Madison; he always will and he'll love his and Madison's daughter as well. After all, Madison was many "firsts" for him. But until he finds out about Madison being pregnant/having his child, his mind is focused on Amy and their child.
[3.04] Confrontation
----August 6, 2004----
Ephram walked into the corner drug store. He'd agreed to go buy a few medical supplies for household use, because they were low. He stepped into the air conditions store and closed the door behind him, but a gust of warm air hit him in the back before the door shut. He wiped his forhead and frowned, as he realized that he might have a light sunburn on his hands. "I should've used sunscreen." He muttered, as he wondered through the rows of medical supplies.
"Good day, Ephram." The Clerk called.
Ephram smiled and nodded at the woman. Then he grabbed a bag of cotton balls. "Check." He muttered. He walked to the next row and spotted the a box of band-aids. He reached up and grabbed the box. "Check." Then he felt a rough hand on his shoulder. A small panic filled his body as he turned around and was relieve to see only Bright Abbott. "Hey, Bright."
Bright sent an angry glare at Ephram and didn't reply.
"Bright? Something wrong?" Ephram asked, with a bit of a confused tone.
"You know." Bright replied, with menace in his voice.
"Know what?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Bright said, as he raised his voice a little. His grip on Ephram's shoulder tightened.
Ephram shook his head. "Hey man, I have no idea what you're talking about? Is something wrong?"
"Hell yeah!" Bright said, as his nails began to dig into Ephram's shoulder.
"Bright! Man, you're hurting my shoulder!" Ephram said, as he tried to pull away from his best friend.
Bright shoved Ephram against one of the rows of medical supplies and a few items fell off the shelf, as well as the items in Ephram's hands falling to the ground.
"Bright! Man, let go of me! What the hell is your problem?" Ephram said, as he tried again to get away.
"You are! I knew I shouldn't have allowed it, but I did!" Bright roared.
"Allowed what?!" Ephram asked.
People were beginning to stare now.
"You!" Bright growled. He slung his fist right into Ephram's stomach.
Ephram slid to the ground, as many different supplies fell on and around the boys.
Gasps filled the room.
Ephram soon regained his balance and shoved Bright backwards, in defense. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Bright's eyes blazed with fury as he sent his fist flying at Ephram again.
Ephram quickly ducked the attack and threw a punch into Bright's right eye. "Get away from me." He said, as he backed away.
"Oh, so you can do this to her and then think you can get away from me?!" Bright roared, as he charged at Ephram.
Ephram dodged Bright. "Who? What do you think I did?"
Bright crashed head first into a display table and sent it crashing to the ground and then he turned back to Ephram. "I'll kill you!"
People were now coming towards Ephram and Bright.
At that moment, a little bell rang through the shop and the door opened.
Bright went at Ephram again, but Ephram wasn't so lucky this time. Bright bashed his fists into Ephram, until he watched blood stream from Ephram's nose.
"Oh my God!" A female voice shrieked, above the noise of the crowd.
Ephram hurled his fist into Bright's stomach, knocking the wind out of Bright.
Amy rushed into the middle of the scene, getting between Ephram and Bright. "What the hell is going on?!"
"He attacked me!" Ephram said, then covered his bloody nose.
Amy's eyes blazed with fury as she faced Bright. "What the hell are you attacking my boyfriend for?!"
Bright stood up and clamped his fists. "Because..." He pointed at Ephram. "He did that to you!"
"Did what to me?!" Amy demanded.
"He got you pregnant!" Bright raged.
