DISCLAIMER- I don't own Everwood or any of the characters, only sometimes I wish I did…
Chapter 2- on the way to Everwood
The next day Amy called Hannah, the only person who she could bare to talk to after screaming and breaking down in the middle of the night. She quickly dialed Hannah's number hoping she would be home.
"hi, Hannah here."-Hannah said over the reciever
"Hi, it's Amy, I had a dream again,… about Ephram."-Amy whispered into the phone so her roomate would here her.
"A-again, I'm so sorry Amy you'll be okay." She replied.
"I know it's just so hard." Amy answered in an exhausted tone.
"So, are you still coming to Everwood this weekend, Cause y'know you should, and it will be fun, you can hang out with Bright and me." Hannah said
"Yeah, I'm coming, be there in 2 or 3 hours." Amy replied. "bye"
"Bye, see you soon." Hannah hung up the phone and Amy began to pack.
Amy didn't know that Rachel had been standing outside her door listening to her conversation. She started wondering who this Ephram charcter was, Amy didn't have a boyfriend and had never mentioned him, ever. He must be real, she though, because she was talking to Hannah about him. She walked in and asked Amy if she could go with her to Everwood, this week. She said she could get out of work and would love to see Hannah again. Amy agreed so the girls could start to pack.
On the drive from Denver, Rachel inquired as to who Ephram was and how Amy knew him.
"I don't really wanna- wait how'd youi know about Ephram?" Amy wondered out loud.
"Well I heard you mention him on the phone to Hannah, is he an ex, or something?" Rachel replied.
"Um, well, yeah, I guess, I just, I don't really wanna talk about Ephram okay, I mean, it's just too hard okay, so just drop it, please." Amy pleaded with her roommate.
"okay." Rachel relunctentaly ended the converstation and turned on the radio. "The Reason" by Hoobastank came on and Amy was holding back tears.
"What's wrong?" Rachel asked with true concerned.
"It's nothing, Amy said as tears started pooring down her face.
"Do you want me to drive?" rachel offered
"sure, that would be helpful" Amy pulled over, wiping tears from her eyes so they could switch spots.
Rachel was really worried about her friend, she could tell it had something to do with Ephram, Rachel already hated him, more than anything for breaking Amy's heart like he must have. Why couldn't she move on? Rachel thought. She had only dated breifly since Rachel met her, and all the guys said the same thing, she just wasn't into it and wouldn't open up. The question still lingered in Rachel's mind, who was this Ephram and what did he do to Amy?
That same morning Ephram woke up from his sleep and walked into the kitchen to find Lauren making coffee.
"How did you sleep?" Lauren asked as she filled the coffee pot with water.
"um, good I guess." Ephram replied not wanting to explain his dream to her, not that he could if he wanted to. Lauren knew he was lying, because she had heard him call Amy's name.
"So , we're going to Everwood tomorrow right, be ready. You'll be shocked." Ephram told Lauren.
"I will be, I'm so excited, we've never visited there before, I can't wait to meet all these people you keep telling me about, I'm so excited!" Lauren poored Ephram a cup of coffee and he sipped it.
"Yeah." Ephram said. But what he was really thinking, was, yeah, I hope Amy's not there, I don't know if I could stand seeing her again, She would just bring back all these feelings, emotions, she would make me cry. He thought, he REALLY hoped she wasn't there.
While Ephram was at work, Lauren called Hannah, a friend who kept in touch with Ephram and had come to New York for different occasions. She asked Hannah to give her the 411 on everyone in Everwood. She found out much information. Bright, Hannah's fiancee was Ephram's good friend, only Lauren already knew this, she also heard many interesting stories about him. Hannah did leave out a minor detail, he was Amy's brother, Amy was Ephram's old girlfriend. All about Amy, she left it all out. Hannah knew Amy would be in Everwood the same time as Ephram, but she wanted Ephram to tell Lauren, Hnnah couldn't do it.
The next day as they boarded the plan, Lauren was looking at pictures of Everwood and Ephram's "past life" as he referred to it. A picture caught her eye, it was of Ephram and some girl, They were sitting on a couch, her legs over his, they were both laughing. Lauren didn't know who she was, she had never met her and Ephram had never mentioned her. Who was she? And why was Epharm hiding her. She knew there were more pictures of her, it all made sense. Other pictures were ripped, only certain parts, Lauren knew that those were the pictures Ephram had ripped the girl out of.
