Chapter 5 – Back to the World
Ephram had a clean bill of health and was going back to his life. Today would be his first day back to school. He was very happy to be back, there was so much work to be done. There was only two week until the concert. It was a wonderful feeling to be driving back into the campus parking lot. He loved his job and the kids he worked with everyday. He walked into the orchestra room and it was a sight to see. The orchestra room was decorated with "welcome back" signs and he kids were sitting ready to play. He came in and said, "So are you ready to work?" "Yeah!", shouted the class. He felt it was the best rehearsal of his life. The attention was great, technique was perfect, and the music was not of this world. It was amazing! "I should go away more often if it gets you to play like that!", Ephram told his class. The rest of his day was the same. Everyone was so happy to have him back. His school day was over and he went home to his lonely apartment. He always knew something was missing but now he knew what it was, Amy! He didn't know if she was at work but he went to the phone book (he forgot to ask for her number) to look up Amy Abbott. Thank goodness there was only one Amy Abbott. The phone dialed, "Hi, you've reached Amy Abbott. I'm not here now, so leave a message!" Beep. "Amy, its Ephram. I guess you're at work but if you would give me a call. I would like to talk to you! You can call me at 555-0218." He hoped that she would call back soon. He wanted to talk to her so bad that it hurt. Amy wouldn't get off her shift until around 4 o'clock in the morning. When she got home and listened to the message from Ephram, she was in shock. He remembered her. He didn't forget that she existed. Something finally matter to Ephram, there was something of importance, Amy!
