Ephram got into his car after dropping Amy off at her house. He never
thought that old feelings could erupt so quickly for another person,
shortly after a breakup. Amy had always made him feel so complete,
something that he had never felt with Madison. He never felt like he had
to impress Amy. Ephram glanced at his watch. It was 4:30. Ephram needed to
get home. He was hoping by the time he returned home, Madison would be
gone.
He got home and walked through the back door. Andy was in the kitchen and Delia was upstairs.
"Ephram, you're home!" Andy said. "Where were you?" "I was studying with Amy." "How are things with Amy?" "Good, actually great," he answered. Ephram put down his backpack and went over to the piano to practice. "Dinner will be ready in a half hour," Andy yelled. He was glad that Ephram was no longer depressed. It was almost too good to be true.
Ephram was already playing through a piece. His thoughts were flowing along with the music. He looked through his folder and found a song he had written for Amy a long time ago. ~Flashback~ "Who wrote that? It is beautiful." Ephram turned around to see Amy standing behind him. She sat down next to him on the piano bench. "I wrote it for someone." Will you play it for me?" Ephram's hands moved gracefully over the keys hitting every note perfectly. He could see Amy out of the corner of his eye gazing with enjoyment. ~End of flashback~
It was too early to be thinking about that. Ephram shoved the song back in to the folder and continued playing another piece. He practiced until dinner time. Once dinner was ready, Ephram got up and went into the kitchen.
"So, what are we having?" Ephram asked. He was hoping it wasn't some vegetable "Lasagna," Andy answered. "Ephram, the weather lady said it is going to snow a whole bunch tonight." exclaimed Delia. "Don't get your hopes up." Ephram answered, "It isn't snowing now." "If it snows can we build a snow woman," she asked? "Absolutely, and we can drink hot cocoa," Andy answered. "Yay!" "You're getting her hopes up," Ephram said, after Delia left the room. "I guess we will have to wait and see."
The rest of the evening went by and Ephram finished his homework and went to bed.
The next morning, Ephram awoke to the sound of his alarm clack buzzing. He threw it against the wall, hoping it would stop and fell back asleep. He wasn't ready to go to school. "Ephram, Ephram! No school, it snowed!" Delia shouted running into Ephram's room.
Ephram groggily got up and looked out the window. Everything was covered with snow. It was as if the world stopped to rest. "I'm going back to bed," Ephram said, pulling his sheets back up over his shoulders. "Me too," Delia said, mimicking her brother. Delia got into the bed and snuggled in beside her brother. The two slept for another hour and a half.
"Delia, you going to get up," Andy yelled as he was coming up to wake her. Andy walked into Ephram's room and saw the two sleeping soundly. He was just about to leave them, when he saw Delia sit up. "Delia, you decided to get up." Andy said. "I have been awake. I was just waiting for Ephram to get up." Delia leaned over and shook Ephram. "Get up already." "I'm awake, I'm awake." "Ephram, what happened to your alarm clock, Andy asked, pointing to the cracked clock lying on the floor. "It was annoying me." By waking you up?" "Yes, so I threw it." "Ephram, let's go watch cartoons," Delia exclaimed! Ephram got out of bed and went downstairs with Delia and Andy. He sat down on the couch and turned on some Tom and Jerry. Just as he was about to get up to get some cereal the doorbell rang. "Someone want to get that," Ephram yelled. Delia ran to the door and opened it. There was Madison standing there all bundled up. "Madison you're here!" "Yes, I thought you might be bored." "Yea, Ephram is no fun." Madison walked into the living room to where Ephram was sitting. "Hi Ephram." "Shouldn't you be entertaining Delia?" Ephram was furious. He didn't want to have to put up with Madison all day. "You know you're going to have to deal with this sometime." "I am, now please, let me watch my cartoons." Madison went off to play with Delia. Ephram watched cartoons for another hour. He was just about ready to turn off the television when the doorbell rang again. Ephram got up and went to answer it. "Amy?" Ephram said as he opened the door. Amy was standing there with a big smile on her face, dragging a sled. She was dressed in a puffy down jacket and snow pants. Her cheeks were rosy, pink from the walk to his house. "I wanted to see if you could come out and play," Amy said, "so can you?" "Sure, come in." Ephram was so happy to see her. Last night has been great and spending the day off with Amy couldn't make him any happier.
"Don't you need to get dressed first," Amy asked? "Oh yea, hold on ill be right back."
Amy went and sat down on the couch. She couldn't wait to hang out with Ephram. Things had been going so good between them. Suddenly, Delia and Madison came into the room. "Hi Amy, isn't it great that we didn't have school?" Delia said. Just as Madison was about to say something, Ephram came downstairs. "Ready?" "Sure, let's go." Ephram and Amy walked out the door. "So where are we going," He asked? "To this really sweet hill that is great for sledding." Suddenly, Amy slipped on the snow, almost bringing Ephram down with her. "Walk much," Ephram asked? Both of them were laughing. Ephram extended his hand and helped Amy up. Their hands still holding on to one another's as they walked through the snow.
"How far do we have to go," Ephram asked?
"Only a little bit farther," Amy answered, "we are almost there."
Suddenly Amy stopped abruptly. There they were on the top of this large hill that over looked part of the town.
"This hill is huge," Ephram exclaimed!
"It is the best sledding hill in Everwood. Here, get on the sled." Ephram did as he was told and sat on the back of the plastic sled, leaving room for Amy.
"Ready," Amy asked?
"Yes," Ephram answered. Amy grabbed hold on the rope and gave the sled a push. The sled went racing down the hill, gaining speed. Snow was spraying in every direction. Ephram was holding on for dear life. His arms were rested around Amy's waist. They were halfway down the hill, and headed for a large ramp.Ephram closed his eyes, awaiting disaster. The sled hit the ramp and grabbed some serious air, then landed with a thud. They steered clear of several trees, and abandon sleds. After coming to a complete stop, Ephram quickly opened his eyes. He was glad to be in one piece.
"That was awesome," Amy exclaimed! She got up out of the sled brushing off her pants.
"Yea, that ramp was huge," Ephram answered. He was still in shock. "Let's go again," he said.
Just as Ephram said that, Bright came barreling down the hill on an inner tube. He was heading straight for Ephram.
"Ephram, watch out," Amy yelled! Ephram quickly jumped out of the way just missing a collision with Bright.
"Hey Brown, did you see that," Bright asked, coming toward them.
"Yea, you tried to run me over."
"the key is to run and jump onto the inner tube then go really fast leaning to steer and then hit the jump at an angle....Bright was saying.
"Um Bright, hate to interrupt your little saga but some little kid just stole your inner tube," Amy said, laughing. She wanted to steal Ephram back from Bright's company.
"Dammit," Bright yelled. He went off running after the kid.
"Thought you might want a break from him," Amy explained. She couldn't wait to spend more time with him.
"Thanks, I really didn't want to hear about his near death experiences."
"Little does he know, that little kid asked if he could borrow the inner tube and I let him."
"Your evil" Ephram said, laughing. He could spot Bright chasing after the little kid.
"Only, when it involved spending time with someone like yourself."
"I make you evil," Ephram asked? "That's encouraging."
"So, you want to go down again," She asked?
"Only if you steer."
"It's a deal." Ephram and Amy went down the hill several more times, until their feet and fingers grew numb. It had started to snow again. "I am so ready for some hot cocoa," Amy said. She was hoping that they could go back to his house and watch movies.
"Me too," Ephram said, "let's go." Ephram could see Amy's rosey cheeks. Snowflakes were falling on her eyelashes. She looked to beautiful. Here he was, spending time with her again. They walked back to Ephram's house. It seemed though it didn't take as long. Maybe, it was because they were shivering. They got to Ephram's house, and discarded the sled at the door.
"Put your hat and gloves on the heater vent to dry," Ephram said, as he took off his own hat and gloves. Amy did as she was told than followed Ephram into the kitchen to make some hot cocoa.
"Where is everyone," Amy asked. She noticed that the house was incredibly silent.
"Look out the window." Amy went over to the window and saw Madison, Andy and Delia building a snowman.
"Aw, look at that snowman," Amy exclaimed! "It has a baseball cap on it."
"Never knew a snowman could be a Yankee," Ephram asked, jokingly.
"Are you about done with that hot cocoa?"
"Yea, you want marshmallows?"
"Sure!" Ephram handed her the cup and they went over to the couch to sit down.
"You want to watch television or play Playstation?" Ephram asked, turning on the television. "How about a movie," Amy suggested.
"Let's see what we have...Armageddon, Matrix reloaded, and Lion King?"
"Too sci- fi, too childish. "Meet the Parents?" "Sure, sounds good," Amy said. Ephram popped in the DVD and sat down beside Amy. "Is it me or does this movie really suck the third time you watch it," Amy asked. "It does suck," Ephram answered. He kept looking over at Amy every couple seconds. He really wanted to kiss her but wasn't sure if she would be mad. Amy was sitting on the other side of the couch wanting the same thing. It was then, when Amy leaned over to put her cup on the end table on Ephram's side that their lips met. Ephram pulled Amy into soft kiss. Amy welcomed the kiss, as she put her arms around his neck. Just as they were about to deepen the kiss, the door opened. Madison came into the house. She walked right into the living room and spotted Ephram and Amy lip locked. Madison just froze, shocked to see them. The two quickly pulled away, after they realized someone came in.
He got home and walked through the back door. Andy was in the kitchen and Delia was upstairs.
"Ephram, you're home!" Andy said. "Where were you?" "I was studying with Amy." "How are things with Amy?" "Good, actually great," he answered.
