"Ok girls that's it for today." The instructor said. Amy went backstage and grabbed her things and

went back out and down the steps to where Ephram was. " That was great" Ephram said.

"Thanks." Amy said smiling. " So where do you want to go your choice." Ephram said. " Umm how

about pizza?" Amy asked. "Sounds good." Ephram said. And with that Amy grabbed Ephrams

hand and they headed out to his car.

When Ephram pulled up to the pizza place he told Amy to wait there. Amy looked confused but

did as he said. Ephram Ran around to the other side of the car and opened the door for Amy.

"Thanks." Amy said smiling. They grabbed a booth towards the back of the restraunt. " So what are

you doing tomorrow?" Ephram asked. " Um nothing really why?" Amy said. "Oh. I uh I was just

wondering if you um maybe wanted to come to New York with me." Ephram said. Amy looked at

him happily. "You're taking the audition?" Amy said excitedly. " Yeah. You worked so hard to get

me this audition and like you said the other day piano is my future. I know I can't see that too

clearly right now but I was hoping you could be there to help me see that." Ephram said. " Of

course ill be there. Amy said.

Ephram drove Amy home after they spent practically the whole day just sitting there in that booth

talking. Ephram walked Amy up to her door. " So ill pick you up around eight?" Ephram asked. "

Yeah that sounds good." Amy said. "Good night, Love you" Ephram said as he gave Amy a kiss

goodnight. "Night, I love you too." Amy said as Ephram started down her porch stairs. " Call me

when you get home!" Amy shouted when Ephram reached his car. Ephram just smiled at her and

nodded.

When Ephram arrived home he went to head straight for his room. " Ephram I want to talk to

you" Andy demanded. " What do you want" Ephram asked sounding annoyed. " Have you

forgotten I am your father? I'm not going to let you do this Ephram. You can't hate me forever."

Andy said. "You lied to me! I have a son and you tried to keep him from me! You can't keep trying

to protect me! Your causing more harm then good. I can handle things on my own I don't need

you." Ephram shouted. Ephram turned to go up the stairs Andy grabbed his arm and pined him to

the wall and got in his face. " Don't you talk to me like that I'm your father! You would of never of

talked that way to your mother. Now would you?" Andy asked. " Don't even compare yourself to

her." Ephram said angrily. " I'm sorry I tried to fix what you messed up Ephram I told you not to

date Madison and you weren't even safe this is all your fault I'm sorry I tried to fix your mistake."

Andy said. Ephram stared at him his face getting red with anger. Ephram pushed passed his father

and headed up to his room. He shut the door and leaned his back up against it and slid down to the

floor. Ephram started crying. It was really hitting him now that he had a son. He was worried that he

had ruined his son's life with his own mistake. He knew what it was like to grow up without a father.

His father was never there. Ephram didn't want his son to have to deal with that. Ephram didn't

know what to do he was scared and really confused. He knew he couldn't stay there tonight with

his dad in the other room. He reached for the phone in his pocket and dialed Amy's number. "

Hey." Amy said. " Hey." Ephram said his voice cracking. Amy could tell something was wrong. "

Are you ok Ephram?" Ephram took a deep breath. " No, not really." Ephram said leaning his head

back on his door. " Where are you ill come get you." Amy said sounding extremely worried. " I'm

home." Ephram said. " Ok ill be there soon." Amy said. " Ill be outside." Ephram said. " Ok, stay

right there." She said.

Ephram grabbed some clothes and threw them in a bag with whatever else he needed. And

headed downstairs. "Where do you think your going!" Andy yelled. "Out." Ephram said reaching

for the doorknob. Andy came up behind him and held the door shut. " You're not going anywhere."

Andy stated. " Get out of my way!" Ephram said pushing Andy out of the way enough for him to

slip out the door. Andy regained his balance and followed him outside. " Ephram! Get back here

right now." Andy yelled Ephram continued down the steps of the porch. Andy followed him. Just

then Amy pulled up. As Ephram was heading toward her car Andy grabbed the back of his shirt

and pulled him back with enough force that made him fall to the ground and drop his bag. Amy sat

there not knowing what to do. " What the hell is your problem!" Ephram screamed getting back on

his feet and brushing himself off. "The only place your going is back in that house!" Andy screamed

grabbing Ephrams bag off the ground and started heading back inside. By this time Amy was out of

her car walking up to Ephram. Ephram ran up to Andy who was already going up the porch steps. "

Give me my bag!" Ephram yelled. " Amy you can go home now." Andy said. " Don't talk to her like

that!" Ephram yelled grabbing a hold of his bag and pulling it out of Andy's hand. Andy let go and

Ephram fell down the last two steps. " Ephram if you leave its not going to be easy to come back

here." Andy said. " I don't plan on it." Ephram said in a harsh tone. Amy ran over to Ephram who

was trying to get up. " Are you ok?" Amy asked while trying to help him up. " I just need to get out

of here." Ephram said. "Ok, ok were going come on." Amy said while she picked up Ephrams bag

and helped him to the car. She put the bag in the back seat and unlocked the door for him.

As Amy pulled out of the drive She looked over at Ephram who had his head back and his eyes

closed. He was shaking. " Ephram calm down it's going to be ok." Amy said. Ephram looked over

at her his eyes red from crying. " Now it will be." He said quietly. He grabbed her free hand and

held it till they got to her house. " I don't want to freak your dad out." Ephram said. " Don't worry I

explained before I left. Plus he's most likely already sleeping." Amy said reassuring him. "Alright."

He said. Ephram got out of the car and grabbed his bag out of the backseat. They walked up the

walkway to Amy's house. With Ephram's shaking hand clinging to Amy's. Ephram followed Amy

up to her room trying to be as quiet as possible. He put his bag down next to her dresser and turned

towards Amy. " Thank you. Amy I don't know what I would do with out you." He said kissing her

on the forehead. " I know." She said. Amy looked at Ephram's arms and noticed that he was

bleeding. " Ephram you're bleeding." She said. "Huh? What?" He asked confused. "Your arms

there all scraped up probably from when you fell. Come here we'll clean that up." She said taking

him to the bathroom. Ephram sat at the end of the tub as she searched for the peroxide and band-

aids. " Ok put your arm over the sink. This might sting a little." she said. Amy poured the peroxide

over his many scrapes. "Geezz that stings." Ephram said laughing. "Oh, suck it up." Amy said

laughing. Amy put the band-aids on and they went back into her room.

Ephram sat on the chair at her desk and Amy sat across from him on her bed. " So what

happened?" Amy asked. Ephram looked at her she could tell this hurt him a lot. After Ephram

explained the whole story and told her what his father said Amy got up and gave Ephram a hug "

I'm so sorry" she whispered. " Ow!" Ephram said pulling away. " What, what is it? " Amy asked

sounding worried. " I don't know it's my back." Ephram said. " Here stand up let me see." Amy

said. He did as she said. She lifted the back of his shirt up and saw a big bruise forming. " Ephram

there's a really bad bruise. What's this from?" Amy asked worriedly. " I guess he pushed me

against that wall harder then I thought." Ephram said. Amy couldn't believe what was going on.

Ephram sat down on the bed. " I'm scared Amy." He said with tears starting to form, he tried to

hold them back. " It's going to be ok Ephram I'm here were in this together I promise you I'm not

going to leave your side." Amy said looking into his eyes. " I know. I'm so thankful for you. I love

you so much. Your all I really have left." Ephram said. " Its just…" Ephram started. "It's just what?"

Amy asked. " It's just that I wish she was still here… she'd tell me what's the right thing to do is."

Ephram said. " Your mom?" Amy asked. " Yeah." Ephram said quietly looking at this floor. " She is

here Ephram. Just listen to what's in your heart you know she's telling you the right thing." Amy said

moving over to hug her boyfriend. After about 5 minutes Amy breaks away to go get him some

water. When Amy got back Ephram was already passed out on the bed. " He looks so peaceful."

She thought. So she took his shoes and jacket off and pulled the covers over him and headed down

stairs to the couch. She knew she was luck enough to get her father to let him stay here but staying

in the same bed was pushing it. So she fell asleep on the couch.

Reviews would benice haha
