Author's note: Hey everyone! It's my birthday! Please make my day and review. Also, I hope you like the song, I know it probably isn't Jim's favorite music, but it works for me. It's Lady Antebellum's "Love Don't Live Here".

Chapter 10

Staci's POV

We both decided to let me cook dinner. Half way through, Jim complimented me on it, "this soup is very nice."

"Thank you," I said.

"I know what you are going through," he said.

"Do you want some music?" I asked.

"Of course," I said. I put down my bowl and walked over to my CD case. I took out Lady Antebellum's CD and put it in the stereo.

Well this heart of mine has been harder like stone

It might take some time to get back what is gone

"I hope you don't mind, it's Lady Antebellum," I said.

"Yes, you really like this group, don't you?" Jim said.

"I can name all the songs they've had out," I said.

"Really?" he said. "Name the songs for me."

But I'm moving on

You don't haunt my dreams like you did before

Oh and I won't curse your name

"Well, let me see, there is this one, 'Love Don't Live Here', 'Looking for a Good Time', 'I Run to You', 'Need You Now', 'Our Kind of Love', 'Hello World'," I said.

"That's really impressive. You know so much about country music."

"I grew up listening to it."

Well I heard the news

That you were back in town

Just passing through to claim your lost and found

But I'm over you

There ain't nothing that you can see or do

To take what you did back

You got the nerve to waltz right in and think what's mine is yours again

"Tell me the truth, do you think I'm a dweeb?" I ask him.

"Staci, my dear, of course not. Why would you think that?"

I've been doing fine without you

Forgetting all the love we once knew

Girl, I ain't the one who slammed the door

"Well, I mean, I must be right? I don't have a boyfriend. I spend way too much time on the fanfiction site."

Now you can say you changed your thinking

I ain't got a heart for breaking

So get your bags off my floor

Cause love don't live here anymore

"Staci, it's this problem that you have about yourself. You want to know something? I don't tell this to a lot of people, but sometimes I wish I had never found out about Sherlock," said Jim.

"What do you mean you wish you had never found out about him?" I asked.

"Well, I mean, sometimes it's good to have an arch enemy, but sometime I just want him to disappear. And sometimes I just don't know what I want from him."

I pat Jim on the shoulder. "There, there," I say.

"Thank you," he said. "Are you ready to get started?"

"I'm ready," I say, taking out a pen and a notebook. I start writing. Let me tell you, when I start writing, I'm on fire and nothing can stop me, except for occasional writer's block. But, so far, I'm doing a good job and Jim is just sitting there quietly. He's letting me have my spacewhile I write. Once I'm done, I hand him the notebook and let him look at it.

"Well, it's pretty good so far," he says, "except one thing – never start with 'and', my dear, or 'then'. Make sure you put a period at the end of each sentence, or if it's a question, make it a question mark. But, other than that, I love the plot."

"So, do you like being the ghost-face killer?" I asked.

"Oh my dear, I loooove it." His sign along voice is really funny. "Alright, well, I think that is all we need to do for tonight."

"We still have time left, do you want to watch a movie?" I ask him.

"Sure, why don't I pick this time?"

"Ok, all the horror movies are in that drawer there," I tell him.

"How about tonight we do soemthing a little different? Let's try something that has a good villian in it, like this one," he says, showing me the movie he chose. It was also one of my favorites, 'Batman Begins'.

"Of course, there is one reason I like to watch it – for the scarecrow, Dr. Crane."

When we get half-way through, the part where Crane scared Falcony, I said, "you know something, it's to bad they don't give Dr. Crane enough screentime on here."

"I hear what you are saying, I like this character a lot," said Jim.
