Here is the next chapter which is MUCH longer than the other ones so far. It took me 2 and a half hours to write this so enjoy:-)


Looking Back

Janet left the hospital that night after receiving the devastating news about Jack. As she was driving home it was hard for her to accept the fact that he was gone. She kept saying to herself "No, this is all just a joke and he is going to come back tomorrow morning and everything will be just fine." But it wasn't going to be just fine

It then hit Janet that tomorrow was Chrissy's first day of kindergarten. What was she going to tell her? How was she going to tell her? Would she even mention it when she got home and ruin the most important day of the year? Janet was sobbing so much. It was so hard for her to concentrate on the road that she swerved and almost hit another car. At least she was getting the biggest cry of her life out right now so she won't be doing in front of Chrissy. Janet had to be brave for her…for everyone.

(AN: ok well when you see this little gap that I have here it means that I am switching between heaven and earth. Just thought I would inform you about it since it would normally mean that time has passed.)


"What do you mean I'm in heaven?" Jack exclaimed.

"Read my lips! YOU ARE IN HEAVEN! How much more do I have'ta explain to you?" Monica said with an attitude.

"But, 'WHY am I in heaven?' is what I'm asking! What happened to me? How did I die? I want to know all these questions but you are just too oblivious to answer anyone!" Jack was really starting to get ticked off.

"Oh! So that's what you want to know?" She responded sarcastically.

"UH, DUH!" Jack snapped back at her. Monica then started to laugh hysterical. Jack was baffled and he was starting to turn red of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Jack," she giggled in between, "I do this to everyone I introduce in heaven. I just think it's so funny when people want to know why they are dead and don't expect an answer. I mean HELLO! What do you think I'm here for?"

Jack shrugged and asked, "Well what are you going to show me?"

Monica pointed her finger at Jack and said, "Follow me."


When Janet arrived home her mother was asleep on the couch. It was around 3 a.m. and she needed somebody for support. Janet slightly tapped her on her back and when she awoke she immediately started to cry. She cried harder than she did while she was driving.

"Jack…Jack," it was too hard for her even to say, "he didn't make it."

Now her mother was crying with her. Janet just prayed that they didn't wake Chrissy up. As she thought about it more, it was the right thing to do and not tell her until after she came home from school.

"Mom, what am I going to do?" Janet asked with tears pouring from her eyes.

"Honey, we'll work it out. You father and I will be supporting you all the way and if you ever need any help then we will be here right away. You do you know that?" Janet nodded.

It wasn't that she was in any danger of anything. Janet was just scared. She was scared of what was going to happen; to her life, to Chrissy's, to everyone's. Jack affected every single person that he knew. Janet was worried so much about how she was going to handle it. That is what scared her the most.


"Where are you taking me, Monica?" Jack asked.

"You'll see," she answered with a smirk on her face. She the grabbed his arm and dragged him some place he was definitely not familiar with. How could it be anyway since it was 'first' time in heaven?

Jack looked around and saw that everything looked so peaceful. It was as if nothing could go wrong in heaven and it was just a perfect place to be. This made him feel a little better than he did when Monica made an interesting greeting. Well, he was about to be faced with something much unexpected.

"This is what I need to show you." Jack looked up at the wall Monica was pointing at. There was an image projecting onto it. He recognized what he was seeing. The scene was taking place in his bistro's kitchen. Then he saw the two men who were holding a gun up to him. It was all coming back to him. How he died, who caused him to die. Jack couldn't take it anymore so he turned away from the wall.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, Jack."

"Well, looks like I'm not going home. So I really am in Heaven. Do you think you could show me what's going on with Janet? You know, 'cause I saw her several minutes before I went into surgery. I just wanted to make sure everything is alright with her." Monica then showed him what was going on with Janet.

It was horrifying what Jack saw. He had never, in all the years that he has known Janet, seen her be like this. She was crying her heart out. Jack even felt the need to cry but he held back his tears. Jack started think the exact same thoughts that Janet was thinking. What is she going to tell Chrissy?

"Okay, umm, I think I've had enough of this, thanks," Jack kindly said.

"Here come with me. I think I can show you something to cheer you up." Jack did as he was told and was surprised to see that Monica was trying to help him after what happened earlier.

"What is going to cheer me up now? I'M DEAD!" Jack exclaimed.

"Don't worry. I think you will enjoy more than you think.

She had brought him to a place where he hadn't been in years. It was his old apartment that he first lived in with Janet and his other roommate Chrissy.

(AN: OK this is a really quick one. The 'Chrissy' I mentioned just in the last sentence is the one he lived with, not his daughter.)

Monica was right. It had cheered him up. He watched himself when he was younger cooking in the kitchen, flirting with every singe girl he saw, and pretending to not like women so he could live with 2 girls. It brought back so many memories.

Jack laughed out loud, "I remember this one time I was helping Chrissy put shower curtains up in the bathroom and Furley overheard us." He laughed even more. "He thought we were in the tub together and it took us a week to convince him that we weren't."

Monica laughed quietly as he watched him glow with joy.

"Hey I'm sorry for starting us off on the wrong foot back there. I didn't mean to make a bad impression," Monica apologized. "I mean after all, we might as well be friends since we are going to be heaven roommates." This caught Jack's attention.

"Heaven roommates?" He asked.

"Yea!" she said excited.

"Um, exactly why are we going to be roommates?" Jack was getting concerned now.

"Hey, don't ever ask why. The big man down the street decides everything. And besides that, it's the trainer's job to help the newbie out until they are well adjusted."

"Oh, this will be very interesting," Jack said, "but I guess we could get used to each other at least."

"Well you should be used to living with a girl by now since you lived with 2 other ones a while back. And that didn't stop you one bit from doing your everyday things."

"How do you know so much about me?" Jack asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I mean you knew how I died and when I lived with two girls. Did you have to study me or something?" Jack chuckled.

Monica sighed, "Well, I'm not really supposed to tell you this but I've been you guardian angle since the day you were born."

Jack was astonished. "But why though? Is there a certain reason that you were picked to watch over me."

"No, not really." Monica lied; which is not exactly the best thing to do in a place as holy as heaven. There was a reason. But Jack would just have to wait to find out.


Coming up: Jack will see some disturbing images of Janet and somebody else who comes into her life...
