"Oh come on! She is so the killer!" Joan yelled at the TV. It was three hours later and she, Grace, Adam and Luke were crammed on the Girardi couch watching ever horror movie they could dig up.
"She's not the killer," Grace told Joan.
"That's not fair, you've seen it before."
"I have. And the ending sucked."
"Well, there's only a few more minutes until it's over, could you not say anything about the end until then?"
"Fine." A few minutes later, the movie ended.
"Oh my God! That ending sucked!" Joan yelled at the TV.
"He was schitzophrenic? That just destroys the whole plot of the movie," Luke complained.
"I told you the endng sucked."
"What's next on the list of-" Adam started as the TV turned off and the room went dark.
"The power's out," Joan said.
"I think we could have figured that one out Girardi."
"It's only nine thirty.What are we supposed to do for the rest of the night?" Joan asked. Grace looked at her and even in the dark Joan could tell what the look on her face was saying.
"Uh, Adam?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can I.. Talk to you? Alone?"
"Uh, sure.." the two stood up and headed upstairs to Joan's room. Luke turned to Grace.
"Any idea what that's about?" he asked.
"Why would I have an idea about what they were talking about?" Grace asked innocently.
"You've only been my sister's best friend for four years and living with her for five months," Luke told her.
"That still doesn't mean I know anything," Grace countered.
"You know something. I'm going up there," Luke said, getting off the couch. Grace jumped up and chased after him.
"No you're not!"

"Adam, what happened to us?" Joan asked once the two were in her room.
"That guy," Adam told her. Joan winced.
"There was nothing going on between us," Joan told him.
"Then why.. Why couldn't you tell me who he was Jane?"
"Because I couldn't. Why didn't you trust me?"
"I did Jane. But what was I supposed to think? We dated for three years and at least once a week I saw you with this other guy, and you could never just tell me who he was?"
"Adam..I wanted to tell you. I really did, but I just wasn't ready. If it's worth anything, I'm ready now," Joan told him.
"Will that change anything yo?"
"I hope so. I want us to at least be friends again," Joan told him, giving him a pleading look.
"Alright Jane. Who was he?"
*
"Geek, get back here!" Grace called as she flew up the last few steps. She turned the corner and saw Luke camped outside Joan's door with his ear pressed to the door.
"Shh, Grace, it's getting good."
"Since when do you easedrop?"
"I'm a seventeen year old Grace," Luke told her.
"Good point. But I can't let you hear this," Grace said, grabbing Luke and pulling him up.
"Grace! What's the big-" Luke started. Grace put her hand over his mouth, took his arm and dragged him down the hall.
*
"Okay, Adam, what I'm about to tell you you can't tell anyone. The only other person that knows is Grace."
"Okay Jane, I wont tell anyone," Adam promised.
"Alright. Um Adam, the thing is, that guy? He's.. I.. I talk to God," she told him
