Part 7

Adam and Joan were sitting down the hall from Grace's room. They were talking about nothing serious or of importance and they were laughing. It felt wonderful to them both. Then Joan stopped laughing.

Cute Boy God was standing at the end of the hall, hands in his pockets and smile on his face. He nodded at her and walked out of sight.

She sighed in annoyance and frustration, she didn't want to follow him or talk to him but dude! he was God, she couldn't defy him. He might smite her or something.

She turned to Adam, "I'll be right back - I've got to use the bathroom." She went off in the direction God had went and soon found him.

"Just tell me what you want." she said bluntly.

"Why are you so mad at me, Joan?"

She despised his calm, consistent tone. "She almost died! She's still lying in a hospital bed and it's down to you!"

Cute Boy God stood up to face her. "I didn't stab her, Joan"

"But you let it happen! You could have warned me instead of giving me that cryptic 'give blood' bull!"

"You know I can't interfere like that." He sad just as calmly.

"You can! It's not like you've got anyone to answer to, you're GOD!"

"And I have rules. Boundaries I've been following for millennia for the greater good of humanity. You're one of the chosen few that I physically revealed myself to, I trust in your faith and you are important to the natural order, Joan. Everything that happens, everything I steer you towards is for a reason. It may not always be clear to you but its there."

Joan's anger had dissolved and gave way to tear filled eyes. "Can you please explain it to me this one time? Why was Grace being stabbed right in front of me for the best?" She asked begging to understand.

God didn't experience human emotion but he understood it completely, he understood the anger and pain so he decided to explain the consequences.

"Eric, the man who stabbed Grace? He killed himself." Joan couldn't hide her shock. "The police found him and the knife, your father will tell you today. You remember Ramsey and the spectrum?"

Joan gave a nod.

"Eric was progressing to the darkest point and he would have killed so many others, Joan. But the other night was too soon for him to accept what he had done and embrace the darkness so he took his own life, preventing the deaths of many souls."

Joan wiped her eyes. "So you used us, put us in his path so he'd hurt Grace and kill himself?"

"Simply put, yes I did."

"Did you know she'd be ok."

He shrugged and smiled, "I'm God."

When she looked at him he could see the hurt in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me? We were all terrified and you knew the entire time!"

"Joan, all the missions you complete for me, they don't affect one person, you should know that. Grace, Luke, Adam, Rabbi Polanski, you and all the many others touched by this tragedy. You're dreams of the big picture aren't just your imagination either Joan." He informed to try and provide her with a sense of clarity.

Joan's hand went up to cover her mouth.

"it's ok Joan, just remember that I do have a plan and everything I do is to achieve that."

Joan stood in silence letting it all sink in then said, "I'm still pissed at you."

They smiled at each other and he left. She couldn't help but think God was a twisted dude but she'd still help him out. She turned and went back to her friends. It would be a hard transition for them but she knew they'd make it through.
