Johnny was nervous about Jessica staying with them. It was true, he had said something along the lines of I love you, but then she had expected him to commit to her. He hadn't been ready. Besides he wasn't that type of guy. So he had brought in a couple of models and crashed the simulator. She had become furious about it and said she hated him. He didn't hate her, though. He just couldn't bear to look her in the eyes anymore.
She had come back, saying she had powers of her own. He couldn't believe she had been on board and he was never told. If he had known, he would gone to her say sorry. But now was as good a time as any. He went to her room, was about to knock, then became nervous and ran into his room.
Why the hell did he get so nervous around her? Did he truly love her? Was he ready for commitment?

Jessica was sitting in her room. Reed and Sue had gone out to get wedding stuff. Ben went out with his girlfriend. She was nice, good for Ben.
She thought she heard someone come up to the door, but no one knocked. Johnny, she thought. She had seen how he couldn't look at her. Maybe he wanted to patch things up between them. Or maybe he wanted to get something from the room, maybe his phone book.
Jessica had taken it from him right before Sue and Reed had left. Sue said it was the perfect thing to take.
She was deep in thought when she heard Johnny yell, "Where is it!" Ah, the phone book. Now he finds out it's gone.
He came to the door and asked her if she had seen it. "No. I never saw. I don't even know where your room is, Johnny." She started to smile the same way she always had when she lied. And Johnny noticed it.
"Liar! Where is it? God, I wish I had your power so I could find it easier."
"Try actually looking," she said and shut the door in his face. She laid down on her bed with a smile. He would never find it, because Sue had put it in her purse which was now far away.
He came knocking again ten seconds after she shut the door on him. "What do you want now?"
"I just want to say sorry." And he shut the door and left.
