I can’t stand my best friend Jane’s boyfriend Jack. Of course, I can’t tell her that; it’s just not done. Therefore, every time I see him, I grit my teeth and politely guide him to the hot topics that will let him show off his worst side. Hell, I figure if I give the man enough rope, Jane will eventually see him for the jerk that he is. Jack, of course, hates me as well. He knows I think he’s a jerk. I also believe that he also knows he’s a jerk and will do anything to keep Jane from finding out. Anything, including murder. Jack killed me last night. I have to wonder if that changes the rules about telling Jane that her boyfriend is a jerk. I am not too good with this whole female code thing. I mean, I don’t want Jane dating a murderer for crying out loud, but I also don’t want to lose her friendship because after I tell her what I think about Jack, she might need to distance herself from me in order to save face. In addition, I am new to this whole ghost business. If I tell her that Jack killed me, and she believes me and he is prosecuted, will that free my soul to move on to another plane? I am not too sure about this other plane business. I mean, I understand this plane. If I keep my mouth shut, maybe I could just hang out here and watch my friends. But what if Jack kills Jane? Would that damn me to hell because I didn’t warn her? Is there a rule book for this sort of thing? The other problem is how do I tell her even if I decide to tell her? Finding the words will be hard enough. "Uhh, Jane? Jack told me to stay the hell away from you last night, and when I didn’t, he slammed my head into the wall.” Yeah. That will go over big. So, let's say I do find the right words to tell her that the man she has been sleeping with for the last three years is a murderer. How do I tell her? Thus far, nobody seems to see or hear me. Well, except for you. Why can you hear me when nobody else can? So, now you know. My best friend’s boyfriend is a murdering jerk and I can’t figure out how to tell her or even if I should tell her. What do you think I should do?
