1 Chapter 3
Jeff was staying at a small house near the beach, which he said he shared with a friend. He said he was going to get some pizza for dinner and disappeared out leaving Matt and Amy alone.
"He seems happy" remarked Amy
"Yeah" agreed Matt.
"What about you Matt?"
"What about me?"
"It must be a shock"
"I'm exhausted!"
"Let's" go upstairs." Suggested Amy. They went upstairs and both collapsed on the bed, exhausted.
10 mins later
Amy heard the downstairs door click open.
"Matt? I think Jeff's home"
They heard a voice from downstairs.
"I got pepperoni, is that okay guys?"
Matt and Amy headed back downstairs. Over Pizza they asked Jeff what had happened
"I was stressed out guys, I had a heroin addiction and I'd thought about committing suicide. I had to get away. I faked my own death and came here. I've been here ever since guys, I'm just the same, just a lot happier"
Matt and Amy listened in shock; they didn't have a clue how unhappy Jeff had been. That night as Matt and Amy curled up in the spare room Jeff slipped out again.

Matt awoke at two am hearing voices from downstairs, suspecting burglars he picked up the plank used to wedge open the window and headed downstairs.
He burst in the door and saw Jeff in a lip-lock with a girl he'd never seen before. Jeff caught his eye and spun the girl around to face Matt.
"Hey Matt," he said "meet the wife"
