"I guess I should go." Anna told Johnny," I should probably tell Lucas about the whole trial thing."

"Yeah. You probably should considering that he's your cousin and you live together, so he might notice you leaving everyday for court." Johnny pointed out.

"So very true." Anna agreed," Before I go, promise me you won't do anything stupid that has to do with my mother's boyfriend or this trial."

"Fine. I promise, but that doesn't mean I won't think about it." Johnny told her.

"Think about it all you want." Anna said," Isn't that all guys do anyways, is think about it?"

"And I was standing here wondering why you don't have a boyfriend." Johnny said sarcastically.

"I know. I find it to be a mystery too." Anna said.

"Maybe the blatant sexual remarks are scaring them away." Johnny said.

"That could be something to consider." Anna said.

"You know my mom's a therapist and she would say that your comments are your way of trying to cover up your nervousness." Johnny told her.

"Nervous?" Anna questioned," What do I have to be nervous about? Aside from my upcoming trial."

Johnny edged closer to her," Yeah. I was talking about you being nervous to be in a room alone with me since what happened on the balcony."

"What almost happened on the balcony, you mean?" Anna asked," Because nothing actually happened. You seem to keep forgetting that. And even if something had ended up happening that night it would have been because we were both drunk off our asses."

"Yeah. You're right. We were really drunk, but still… You know Lucas and Jane think that we, like, want each other, right?" Johnny asked.

"They've told me. Several times, actually. Especially Jane. They've thought that since we were like thirteen." Anna replied.

"What I want to know is where they got the idea in the first place." Johnny said.

"I don't know." Anna said," But I'm starting to think that mental illness may run in my family. Which may explain what's wrong with me."

"It could." Johnny agreed, jokingly," Although, a crazy person would probably have kissed me that night."

"Well a sane person might have kissed you too." Anna assured him," If her life wasn't so messed up right now."

Then Anna walked out of Johnny's house without even saying goodbye.

She arrived back at home and found Lucas sitting on the couch once again playing video games.

"Hey Lucas. Can we talk?" Anna asked him.

"Yes. Sure" Lucas told her.

Anna then sat down beside him on the couch and said," There's some things I haven't told you about why I am here. And I just feel like I should tell you now considering next week some things are going to be happening."

"Ok." Lucas said," Go ahead and tell me."

"Ok. The reason I am here is because my mother's boyfriend attacked me and my mother wants to take his side instead of mine." Anna told Lucas.

"Yeah. I know." Lucas told her.

"What do you mean you know?" Anna asked," How did Johnny tell you about this that quickly? I mean I just left his house. Or was it Jane? Did she tell you?"

"Firstly, I know what happened to you because the day you got that huge envelope in the mail with all the evidence and testimonies regarding your case, I read all of it." Lucas told her," And secondly, Jane would never tell one of your secrets to anybody. Not even me. And I am just going to throw a thirdly in there and ask. What were you doing at Johnny's house?"

"He hasn't been over here since the whole balcony thing and I just wanted to make sure that you and him were still friends." Anna replied.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Lucas asked," Like you said, nothing happened."

"I know." Anna said," But he thought that you would be really pissed about the situation."

"I'm not." Lucas assured her," Although, if you are going to get together with Johnny can you go ahead and do it know while I am semi okay with it happening?"

"You are semi okay with me and Johnny being together?" Anna asked.

"Yes." Lucas said," Maybe a little worried for you because of his history with girls. But for him you would be a huge step up and maybe you could keep him from getting into so much trouble."

"Wait!" Anna exclaimed," What history with girls?"

"It's just that he's been with certain girls that you might not approve of." Lucas told her.

"Like who?" Anna questioned.

"Well." Lucas said," Like….."
