in a bad way

Jonah thought he might lose it. Come home, well sort of, and first week he came down with a fever.

"You just don't want to see your Mom." Lex informed him as she took his temp. They were in her room. Underground, he guessed in Lex's lair.

"Don't say that." He felt like poison was seeping in all around him. This wasn't good. "I'm never sick." He was none to happy about it. He knew her mother wanted him to have a job already which wasn't quite happening yet, and who would hire him, anyway. Perhaps if he went back to his old ways, all would be well.

"You are never going to be that, again!" Lex laid the law down. It was her way or no way. "You are going into that police station and tell them everything about Josie's Dad, before its too late!"

"Can you just shut up, about that," Jonah whispered. He didn't want her mother to know.

She handed over something for the fever.

"If you were half the brother your brother was, this would already be over." Lex gritted.

"Well, thanks a lot." He squinted laying there in her bed in the basement. Just once he wanted to follow the rules instead of breaking them, but this wasn't easy. Especially, when he started to shake with a fever.

Well I hope he gets better, but he really should tell the police.

Thanks for the note. Well, Jonah does have his reasons.

Well, Evan liked this girl Becca, who was drunk at the party they were at and wanted to hook up with him. But Evan decided he didn't want to unless she was sober. At the end of the movie, he bumps into her at the mall and buys a mattress with her though. Does that clear things up?

And also if you were wondering, Fogell (McLovin) was the only one to hook up with someone out of the three. Though it was only for a few seconds, since the two cops broke things up.

I loved the post but at times I think Lex is too hard on him. Poor Jonah. This i soo new for him.
I really hope he gets well soon.
