Madison and Ephram arrived at Madison's house. She pulled her car into the
garage and closed the garage door. Ephram was excited to finally be alone
with her. They had been dating for awhile and had never really been alone.
"Now be careful with the door, it is really hard to close," Madison said as
she got out of the car.
Ephram got out of the car and closed the door. "It won't close at all,"
Ephram said. He was worried her broke the door. Madison came over to his
side of the car and hit it shut. She looked so sexy in her low cut jeans
and red sweater.
"There, fixed," Madison exclaimed. "It does this all the time in the cold."
"That was easy," he said. Ephram leaned over and kissed her.
"I am so lucky to have you," Ephram said.
"Somebody has to keep you in line," Madison joked.
She put her arms around his waist and they walked toward the door to the
house. When they got to the top step Ephram grabbed Madison's head in his
hands and kissed her tenderly.
"Let's go inside," Madison whispered between kisses. She pushed the door
open, letting her coat fall to the floor and lead Ephram into the living
room. Ephram was about to shed his shirt, when he heard giggling. Startled
by the noise, both of them turned their heads and focused on the living
room. There sitting on the couch unbeknownst to them was Madison's roommate
and five of her friends. They were sitting around eating pizza and enjoying
the show the couple was unintentionally being put on.
"Madison, you're here," Shae said getting up, "Ohhh and who is this sexy
guy?"
Madison and Ephram froze, breaking away from each other. She had no clue
that her roommate would be home. Shae had said that she was going to be at
a party. By now the whole room of people turned their attention toward her.
"Shae, I thought you were going to be gone?" she exclaimed in a tizzy
"The party was lame, so we left," Shae's friend Dillon answered, as he
stuffed a huge bite of pizza in his mouth. "You didn't have to quit you
know," he added, I was enjoying that."
Madison shot him an evil glare and Dillon shut up.
"So are you going to introduce us to your man?" Shae asked anxiously.
"He looks like he could be in high school," One of them added.
Ephram was just standing there waiting for Madison to answer. He was hoping they could just leave and be alone. Before anyone else could say anything, Madison started to explain. "This is my friend Ephram," Madison said, trying not to yell, "He is sixteen." "He looks more than just a friend," Shae answered. "Madison is dating high school boys," Dillon chimed in, "get em while their young." "I'm not dating him," Madison snapped. The words just slipped out. "So what do you call you and me?" Ephram yelled, "Am I just your little play thing? I'm here when it is convenient." "No, I didn't mean it like that," Madison answered, fighting back tears. "It seemed pretty clear to me," Ephram yelled, "go find yourself a cooler guy!" "I thought we had something going, I actually thought you loved me!" Ephram added. He was full of rage. He hated her for doing this to him. She never wanted anyone to see them together. They always had to drive to the movie theater an hour away or eat a restaurant on the other side of town. He did all this because that is what she wanted. She repays him by lying about being in a relationship with him.
"Can we go talk outside please?" Madison asked. "You're overreacting!" Madison exclaimed. "You know what, we are done," Ephram yelled, "I'm leaving."
Ephram picked up his coat from the floor and went out the door. Ephram really hated leaving her like this but he had no choice. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. Ephram actually thought she loved him. His face was crimson and he was burning with anger and confusing. Madison didn't even follow him out the door. Maybe he should have seen this coming. He should have known that a sixteen year old can't date a twenty year old and have an honest relationship. With his hands in his coat pockets, Ephram walked home in the cold. Snowflakes were pelting his face. Again he was alone with his thoughts. Maybe this was the best for the both of them. Madison could be with jerks her own age and he could go back to being a lousy sixteen year old boy. Ephram arrived home a few minutes later, still angry with the evening's events. He walked in the door and went into the living room to watch television. There sitting on the couch with Andy was Amy. "Ephram, you're home," Andy said, "How was your date?" "I don't want to talk about it," Ephram exclaimed, trying to withhold his anger. "It was that good," Andy said. "Amy what are you doing here?" Ephram asked, switching his attention to the girl on the couch. I came to tell your Dad personally what is going to happen tomorrow night." Amy explained, "So he would fully understand."
"We were just finishing up," Andy interrupted. Andy got up and went into the kitchen, leaving Ephram and Amy alone. "What's wrong?" Amy asked. She could tell he was really pissed. "Madison and I broke up," he said. The words still hadn't sunk in.
"Why, what happened?" Amy asked. She was trying to be remorseful but inside she was ecstatic. She knew when Ephram fell for a girl, he fell hard. "Never mind, I really don't want to talk about it," Ephram claimed. "Come on, tell me, it will help," Amy coaxed, wanting to hear the whole story. "I went to her house with her to hang out and I kissed her when we went in the door," Ephram started, "then we looked over and her roommate and a whole bunch of friends were there." "They started asking questions about us and Madison lied said I was her friend," Ephram said angrily, "clearly, we were more than just friends." "So I got mad and walked out," Ephram added, "I should have known." Ephram stopped talking and just sat there in silence, waiting for Amy to say something. She was probably overjoyed that I am single now. Ephram was just getting up to leave, when Amy spoke.
"You know Ephram I'm not going to say I told you so or anything," Amy explained, "I know you really liked her." "I'm also probably going to regret saying this, but I think you need to talk to her tomorrow and work things out," Amy added, "make sure this is what is right."
Ephram gave Amy a hug and kissed her on the cheek. The hug felt so good, like a lost puzzle piece finally put where it belongs. He knew that this thing with Amy would probably affect his decision. They sat there and hugged for awhile, not wanting to let go. "I got to go," Amy interrupted, "grandparents are waiting." "Thanks. oh and good luck with your parents," Ephram replied, "He actually felt kind of better." For once Amy was comforting him and not the other way around.
"Good luck with Madison, Ephram," Amy added, "go with your heart." "Bye!" Ephram replied.
Amy walked out the door. She was hoping that Ephram would truly go with his heart. She knew inside that his heart did somehow belonged to her.
