It was a cool fall day in Boston Massachusetts, I was lying on the couch watching t.v.

when there was a  knock at the door.  I started to open the door when I realized what had happened the last time.  So I peeped out the peep hole and saw that it was Jordan.  I quickly opened the door and I said,"Hi."  "Hi." said Jordan, "Where's Donnie?"    "I have no idea where he is" I had told Jordan. 

Then this strange guy started to come up the stairs to Donnie's apartment.  Jordan

immediately came in and locked the door.  Jordan then called 9-1-1 and told them that there was a strange guy at my apartment.  After Jordan had hung up, he hugged me spontaneously.  Then Donnie walked in his apartment and said,"What are you doing?"  Then this strange guy walked into Donnie's apartment and he looked in and saw that Jordan and Donnie were arguing. "May we help you."  said Donnie and Jordan at the same time.   "Hold it right there." this strange guy said. (as this strange guy held up a little stolen hand gun)

Then I sorta slipped out of the room without Donnie or Jordan even knowing. About ten

minutes later they realized I was gone. "Where's Pamela?" said Jordan.  "I don't know." snapped Donnie.   Then I came out of the bathroom.  "There you are?" said Donnie, "Where did you go?" Donnie added. 

Then I ran back into my room and Donnie ran after me.  He caught up to me, shut the

door to my bedroom and said,"What's wrong?"   "It's that guy again. That's that same guy that came into my apartment-- about a year ago." I had told Donnie. 

"Oh." said Donnie,"Is it that guy?"   "Yes." I told Donnie.   Just then Jordan came in my bedroom, sat on my bed and said,"That guy looks awfully familiar."  "I know." I said,"That's that same guy that came into my apartment about a year ago." I had added. 

"Oh my god." said Jordan.   Then Jordan whispered that this guy had a gun, and that he didn't know if it was a stolen gun. 

Then Donnie walked out of my room and said,"Aw shit!"   Then I started to run out of

my room and Jordan grabbed me just in time.  Jordan peeked out from behind my door and nearly fell from shock!  "Aw shit is right."said Jordan.    "What is it?" I said.  Jordan said,"Trust me you can wait."    I pushed Jordan out of the way and I said,"I'm sorry Jordan,I've got to see."  "Oh my god!" I exclaimed, "That strange guy robbed us!"   "You could've waited." said Jordan.  "Well who in the heck was that guy?" I asked. "Speak for yourself." said Jordan.    "I'm sorry...." I had said.   "Hey-It's not your fault." said Donnie.  "He must have followed me here." I had said. "Where is that strange guy?" I had said.    "Shhhh-" Jordan whispered,"You know what happened the last time."  "Sorry." I had whispered.  

Then the cops busted through the door and said,"Where is he?"

"That guy is gone. He took all our stuff and took off." said Jordan.  One cop said,"Sorry we couldn't get here sooner, but...."  "...But you were busy." said Jordan.   

Then Karin and her husband-Jonathan pulled up in their car and almost choked.  "Oh my god!" exclaimed Karin.  "What happened?" asked Jonathan.  Karin and Jonathan walked up to Donnie's apartment.  I had peeked out the door and saw Karin and Jonathan.

"Donnie, there's Jonathan and Karin." I had said.  Donnie ran towards me and said,"You gotta be kiddin' me."    "Hi Pamela" said Jonathan and Karin.  "What are you doing here?" I had asked Karin and Jonathan.  "We were just thinking about moving here." said Karin.   "I have a question for you, Donnie." said Jonathan,"What Happened?"    "There's been a robbery." Donnie told Jonathan.  "Oh my gosh." said Karin.   "Come in." said Donnie.  "What if they're still there." said Karin.  "It's a he--and its just one of them and he's long gone." I had reassured Karin.

Jonathan and Karin walked in and they had said at the same time"They did take

everything."   That strange guy came out of the bathroom and had scared the living hell out of us.  This strange guy took off his mask, and it was Joe Mcintyre.  "You do know that the police are after you."  Donnie told Joe.  "Oh my gosh." said Joe, "I didn't know I caused that much trouble."   "I'm sorry." he added.  "You scared me." I had told Joe.  "I'm sorry." Joe said (as he hugged me.)  "By-the-way I don't think I know you." said Joe. 

"Oh this is my girlfriend- Pamela." said Donnie, "And-this is her older sister-- Karin." said Donnie.  "Hi." said Joe.   "Jordan,I have a question for you." said Karin.  "Sure Karin-- What is it?" asked Jordan.   "What happened to Evelyn?" asked Karin.   "We broke  up." said Jordan,"It was something that Evelyn did."   "What did she do?" I had asked Jordan.  "She cheated on me." said Jordan.  "I'm sorry." I had told Jordan.   "So Donnie When did you start going out with Pamela?" asked Joe.   "About a year ago." said Donnie.   "Did you really call the police on me?" asked Joe.  "Yes." I had told Joe, "Well actually Jordan did." I had added.   "Oh thanks alot--Jordan and you call yourself a friend." said Joe.  "...And you call yourself a friend when you scare the hell out of everybody."  "Joe" I said,"What happened the last time you did this?"   "Oh in your apartment--about a year ago." said Joe,"You're wondering about that."   "Well I just grabbed the nearest thing I could find to try to scare you guys." said Joe.   "A mask" said Jordan,"That's pretty pathetic." Jordan added.    "Well you did a dam good job of it" I said.  "I have a question for you-- Joe." I said,"Did you live next door to me?"   "Yea." said Joe, "Before I got hauled off to jail." Joe added.   "And then you escaped." I said.  "How many times do I have tell you..."said Joe,"I really am sorry."  "Ok Joe" I had said,"We believe you."   "We do" said Jordan(as he doubted Joe's innocence.)   

The next day Joe came over to Donnie's apartment.  When Joe was just outside of

Donnie's apartment, a policeman had stopped him.  The policeman told him that he was under arrest and he put handcuffs on him.  I opened the door and said,"What's going on?"  The policeman motioned for me to get back in my apartment.  Then Donnie walked up behind me.  "Go back in your apartment." the policeman told us.  "Ok" I had told the policeman.  As Donnie and I were walking in, Joe had called out to me.  Joe had told me he wanted to talk to me.  Donnie had whispered to me that Joe got arrested three other times.  "Don't believe him." Joe had told me.   I wanted to believe Donnie, but I also wanted to believe Joe.  The police started to haul Joe off to jail but then I told them to let him go.  "Are you sure?" one policeman asked me.  "Yea are you really, really sure?" Donnie had asked me.  Then Donnie said,"Would you give us a minute?" (as he pulled me away from the door)  "Ok" I said,"What did Joe do?"  "Well" Donnie said,"Are you sure you want to know."    I had told Donnie I wanted to know what Joe did.  So Donnie told me that Joe had murdered somebody two years ago.   "Oh my gosh" I said.  Then I started to walk over to Joe but then Donnie grabbed me and hugged me.  I whispered to Donnie, "Are you telling the truth?"    "Yes" Donnie told me. "It was in your apartment right next to Joe's apartment." Donnie had whispered to me. 

Then I walked over to Joe.   Jordan walked up and said,"Pamela no!"   "Well" said the

policeman,"We're going to go?"  "Maybe your friends will convince you that he's a crook." the policeman said.  "Thanks" I said.  "Oh Thankyou Pamela." said Joe.    "Pamela, Pamela, Pamela." said Donnie and Jordan, "What have you done?" 

Then we had went into Donnie's apartment.  "We are not leaving you alone with Joe."

Donnie had said loudly.   "What did I do to make you so scared of me?" Joe asked.   "You know exactly what you did." Donnie had told Joe.  Joe was just about to kidnap me when Jordan saw what was happening.  "Freeze Joe." said Jordan, "Let her go." he yelled.   Donnie had walked out of the bathroom and realized what was happening.  "Jordan, what happened?" said Donnie.  As Jordan was answering Donnie's question, Joe had kidnapped me.  "Aw shit" said Donnie.  "Joe kidnapped Pamela!" exclaimed Donnie.  So Jordan and Donnie took off to find Pamela, they had ran into Evelyn on the way.  "Jordan, where are you going in such a hurry?" said Evelyn.  "Pamela was kidnapped." said Jordan.  "Oh no!" exclaimed Evelyn.    "Ok" Jordan said,"Let's split up and go find her."

Then Evelyn, Jordan and Donnie split up and went to find Pamela.  "We'll meet back

here, if we find her around the apartments."  said Donnie.  "Evelyn!" said Jordan.   "Well she must have already went to go look for Pamela." said Jordan.  "Wait a Minute." Jordan added.."Evelyn doesn't even know what Pamela looks like."  

"Joe." I said,"Take me back to my apartment."  "No" said Joe.  (as he was holding me

hostage in this other apartment)  "I should have let the policeman haul you off to jail." I thought.  "What are you thinking, Pamela?"   "Nevermind Joe." I had told him.  "No tell me." yelled Joe. "Look Joe--I don't have to tell you anything."  I had told Joe. "Donnie's gonna be looking for me." I had added. 

"Shutup Pamela." said Joe.   Suddenly I began to laugh.  "What's so dam funny." asked Joe.  "I was just thinking..."I had started to say.  "I thought you said you don't have me tell me anything." said Joe.   "But this time I want to,Joe." I said.  "I was just thinking that nobody ever really told me to shutup ever." I had told Joe.  "What happened?" asked Joe.  "Do you mind? I'd rather not talk about that. Can we change the subject?" I had told Joe. 

Then Donnie walked up.  "Pamela--I was so worried I'd never see you again." said

Donnie.(as he hugged me)   "Joe is a sweet, cute guy!" I had told Donnie.  "I was talking to him and having a great time." I said.  Jordan walked up and said, "Hey! you found Pamela."  "Are you okay?" Jordan had asked me.  "Yes" I had told Jordan.  

Jonathan and Karin were knocking on Donnie's door of his apartment.  Then they got the

feeling that we weren't home.  Karin and Jonathan started down the stairs but then they met up with us at the bottom of the stairs.  "What happened?" asked Jonathan.  "Joe had kidnapped Pamela." Donnie had told Jonathan. "And Jordan let it happen."   "Hey don't blame this on me!" exclaimed Jordan.

Then Evelyn walked up.  She said,"Hi Jordan--where did you find Pamela." 

Then they noticed that Pamela was missing again.   "Hey--where is Pamela." said

Jonathan, "She's missing."    "And so is Donnie." said Jordan.  "I'll go find them." Jordan added.  "Me too." said Karin.    "No I'll go find her and Donnie." said Jordan.   "You've had a crush on her since she moved here." said Jonathan.  Then Evelyn started to walk away.  She looked sad.  She started to cry but she tried to hold back her tears.  "Jonathan, see what you did?" said Jordan.  "Now I'm gonna lose Evelyn for good!" yelled Jordan.

"Evelyn, Evelyn!" exclaimed Jordan.  He tried to get her attention.  "Wait up." Jordan had

called out.  "No Jordan-- leave me alone, and don't follow me." Evelyn yelled.   Jonathan and Karin ran over to Jordan.  Evelyn had already ran the other direction away from them.  Jordan looked sad and he said he felt lonely. 

"Oh let her go." said Jonathan.  "You don't need her." said Karin.  "You'll find someone else that

will care about you." Karin added.     As Karin and Jonathan walked to their car, Jordan climbed

the stairs to Donnie's apartment.  Jordan knocked on the door.  He heard somebody yell. "Go

away."   "Evelyn--Its me Jordan. Open the door." he said.    Somebody opened the door, but it

wasn't Evelyn.  "Did something happen between you two?" asked Donnie.   "I don't want to talk

about it, Donnie." said Jordan.   "I've heard of on and off again relationships but you two should

become attached to the clapper." said Donnie (as he claps his hands twice).    "Very  funny." said

Jordan.  "You wanna come in?" asked Donnie.  

"Sure." said Jordan. (as he walked in and shut the door to Donnie's apartment).    "Hi Jordan." I had said.  "Hey--what happened to you two?" said Jordan.   "I'm sorry we got separated." said Donnie.  "We just wanted to be alone." Donnie and Pamela said at the same time.   "Ok speak." said Donnie. (as he grabbed him by his shirt)  "No, Donnie." said Jordan, "It's not that simple." he added. 

"Donnie-- could you loosen up, I'm losing vision in my right eye."said Jordan.   Then I smiled. "Why are you smiling?" said Jordan.    "Nothing." I had said.  "I'm just smiling." I added. 

Donnie had loosened his grip on Jordan's shirt, he turned to me and he looked sincere.  He asked me if I was sure.  Before I could answer, somebody knocked on the door.   "I'll get that." said Jordan.(as he went to the door)  Jordan opened the door and almost gasped.  "What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.  "Who is it?" asked Donnie.(as he was running to the door)  "Aw shit!" exclaimed Donnie.   I ran to Donnie and asked if it was Joe again.  Donnie said that it wasn't.  "I wish you would just leave." said Donnie,"Or I'm gonna call the cops."   

"Is that same guy back again." Jordan had whispered to me.  "Ya know its very rude to whisper in front of company." said this guy

who was wearing a dark pair of sunglasses.  "It's Manuel!!" I had

shrieked.  "Because that's the same thing he said when we were in California." I had said.   "Manuel--you ass hole, I'm gonna kick your ass all the way back to California." I had added.   "Pamela, I've never heard you say that before!" exclaimed Donnie.   "Why are you all of a sudden so--surprized?" I had said almost a yell.  Then Mark,-(Donnie's brother) came walking up the stairs and asked what all the fighting was about.  "Why don't you guys just call it a truse?" said Jordan, "Because everybody is opening their doors and staring at us." added Jordan.   "Ok Donnie. I'm sorry for almost yelling at you." I had said trying to sound apologetic.  (then I thought to myself-- now were even!)  Then I was grining from ear to ear.  "Now what?" asked Donnie.  "I can tell you this." I had said, "In 1994, somebody wrote me a nasty note on prodigy and told me to get a life. He also told me that he didn't think he wanted a friend through a computer. This guy had the same name as you, Donnie." I had said.(as I glared at him)
