Next morning Madison woke Ephram up. She laid her hand on his shoulder and began to shake him slowly.

Madison: Ephram! (She whispered)

Ephram opened his eyes and noticed Madison. He thought it was a dream so he shook his head but then he noticed it wasn't a dream. He lifted himself up and looked into her green eyes. She sat on the edge of the couch and smiled at him. Then he noticed her hand on his shoulder and looked at it. Madison detected his look and took her hand back.

Madison: Breakfast is ready! (She whispered) But you should get dressed before. (She pointed at his legs)

He just wore his shorts and a T-Shirt. He got up because he felt really abased. She just followed him with her eyes.

Ephram: Ok, I'll…I'll go…go getting dressed. (He stuttered and jumped upstairs)

Madison walked into the kitchen and sat down beside Delia. Andy and Madison looked at each other.

Andy: Can I leave you alone?

Madison: For sure! Why not? (She smiled) I wish you two a great stay in NYC. (She shoved Delia for fun)

Andy: Ok, I just wanna be on the safe side. (He smiled and continued eating)

After a while Ephram entered the kitchen. He felt abased and avoided eye contact with Madison. He got a bottle of water out of the fridge and leant against the counter.

Ephram: I'll go home. I should talk to Bright.

Andy: Yeah, you should settle your difference!

Ephram: That's not as easy as it sounds.

Andy: Maybe you should just drop it.

Ephram: You don't know what he did. (He smiled and walked over to the door) Have fun in NY! (He waved and left)

Andy: Don't be stubborn! (He yelled after him)

Ephram got in his car and drove off. When he had opened the door Hannah walked over to him. She smiled.

Hannah: Are you ok? I'm so sorry! I said he should rather tell you but he didn't want to.

Ephram: It isn't your fault. Calm down! (He smiled)

Hannah: I thought you would be mad about me because I didn't tell you.

Ephram: I'm not mad about you. (He heard the door)

Bright and Amy entered the flat. He looked round and smiled at Amy.

Ephram: Nice to see you.

Bright: Hello Bright. How are you? Yeah, I'm fine, Ephram. (He said to himself)

Amy: Hey! (She smiled back and rolled her eyes about Bright's comment)

Ephram: I haven't finished with you! (He looked mad)

Bright: I'm sorry, Ephram! I can just repeat myself.

Ephram: Yeah but you don't realize the error of your way. (He said louder)

Bright: I should have told you, ok but now it's too late. You got to the bottom of it by yourself. (He said simply)

Ephram: Oh, you think it's that easy? (He yelled) You should have told me that she's in town. (He ran into his room and slammed the door into Bright's face)

Amy: What happened? (She looked confused)

Hannah: It's a long story.

Bright: I'll talk to him. (He walked to his door)

Hannah: I think that's a bad idea, Bright! (She screamed to drown out Ephram's music)

Amy: I'll talk to him. (She stopped Bright and knocked on Ephram's door)

Ephram: Go away! (He screamed)

Amy: It's just me. (She opened the door and walked in)

Ephram: Oh, come in! (He turned the music off)

Amy: Wanna talk?

Ephram: No, I need time for myself. (He dropped down on his bed)

Amy: So I should go?

Ephram: No, I know this lake in Boulder. I was there with my dad and Irv right after we had moved to Everwood about 3 years ago. My dad grounded me and I only was allowed to make my homework. I argued Irv into my opinion to let me go so I boated over the lake and disregarded Irv's warnings and boated to close along the waterfront. I got caught up in algae and overturned. The water was cold as ice and I almost lost my life but they've found me at the right time. I think that's the best place to come clear. I'll bowl along. (He got up and got a couple of clothes out of his cupboard)

Amy: It must be really bad what Bright did. (She sat down at the edge of his bed)

Ephram: It is not alone Bright. My past crashed down on me in 24 hours. (He turned round and looked at her)

Amy: Ok, what happened?

Ephram: I don't wanna talk about it at this moment. (He looked confused) I'll drive off now.

Amy: I'll see you to the door. (She smiled and opened his room door)

Ephram walked out of his room to the front door. He looked round but Bright and Hannah weren't there. Amy followed him and they went over to his car. Ephram got in and winded down the window.

Ephram: Please don't tell someone who I'm, ok? I'll be back tomorrow.

Amy: For sure! (She smiled and waved while he was driving off)

Amy followed him with his eyes and then drove back to the Abbott's.
