ran to Jeremy’s room.
    She slung open the bedroom door and nearly fell back in shock at what she saw.  Jeremy, naked and on top of Jules, pumping on her. 
    Simone covered her mouth in a devastating shock, trying to scream but no sound would come.  When Jules looked up over Jeremy’s bare, white shoulder and saw her sister, however, it was Jules who screamed, prompting Jeremy to look, too. 
    What he saw frightened even him.  Simone, already too emotional in his view, was beyond emotional now.  She stood there, almost catatonic, staring with a look of disbelief in her stunned, innocent eyes.  Jeremy, knowing how out-there Simone could get, quickly jumped off of Jules and tripped down as he hurriedly tried to slip into his pants.             
    “It’s not what you think, Simone,” he said anxiously as he dressed, growing more uneasy with her stare.  “And stop looking at me like that!”
    Simone shook her head, looking from him to Jules and back to him again.  “How could you,” she finally managed to say, albeit in a whisper.  “How could you do this, Jeremy?  How could you ruin my family like this?”
    “What are you talking about, girl?  This has nothing to do with you or your family!”
    “We were supposed to be a family again,” she said in a voice so pleading that it caused Jules to shutter.  “She’ll get Shay back, I know she will, if you’ll leave her alone.  But you don’t want us to be a family.  You just want Jules all for yourself.”
    “Just get out of here, Simone,” Jeremy yelled, “and I mean now!”
    “You go to hell!” Simone yelled back.  “You don’t tell me what to do!  You won’t ruin me too, I don’t care how much you put me down and try to turn my own sister against me!”
    Jeremy laughed.  “Girl, you’re crazy.  Nobody’s thinking about your crazy butt!”
    “I’m crazy?”
    “Yeah, you’re crazy!”
    “Okay,” Simone said, nodding her head, and left the room hurriedly. 
    “Check her out!” Jeremy said to Jules, still shaking his head.  “What is wrong with that sister of yours?”
    “She’s in shock, Jeremy,” Jules said angrily, snatching her clothes from the floor as she put them on.
    “She’s nuts,” Jeremy replied, buttoning his pants. 
    Jules had already had major misgivings about going this far with Jeremy, knowing that it would change their relationship forever.  She cared for him deeply, maybe even loved him, but she wasn’t at all certain that she was ready to take this turn.  But he was so insistent, and so charming, his wonderful bright white smile making her feel as if he was the sweetest man on earth.  And he begged her.  Just this one time, Jules, he begged.  Just this one time.  So to please him, and to satisfy those growing yearnings she’d been having herself, she did it.  But now, seeing Simone’s reaction, seeing Simone’s pain, she felt dirty, not satisfied.   And deeply ashamed.
    Jules was still feeling the shame when Simone returned to the bedroom.  Only Simone wasn’t back to apologize, or to make any amends.  She was back with a vengeance.
    “So I’m crazy, Jeremy?” she said as if she was continuing a conversation that had not ended.  “I’m crazy?”  She said this and started hurrying toward Jeremy.  Jules didn’t see the knife until Simone had lifted it from her side and lunged at Jeremy.  He was just pulling on his shirt, and it was covering his face at that very moment, but Jules screamed such a blood curdling scream that he nearly lost his balance. 
    Simone, however, kept her aim and lunged for him, that big butcher’s knife burrowing an inch into his bare stomach before he was able to knock Simone down and sling it out.  The blood that gushed out took him to his knees, and Simone, who had fallen against the wall, was so transfixed, so stunned herself by the sight of the blood, that she could do nothing but stare at him and breathe in and out in
