A/N: This takes place that night in "Darkest Hour" where Jesse is looking
out for Maria. It does contain some spoilers, though. The song I have used
is "Taking Over Me" by Evanescence. And I, of course, do not own the lyrics
or Jesse (i wish!) or Susannah. Hope you like it!
It's midnight. And no sign of Maria--Jesse's ex. And the only reason she hasn't slit my throat yet is because of Jesse, who so chivalrously offered to stand watch. That's only so I won't get hurt. But oh, how I wish that he were not reading some book off my shelves, but staring longingly at my face. If only. . . .
~you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...~
Why can't Jesse see that I've fallen in love with him? But really, who can resist those ebony eyes? That sweet smile? Why can't he realize that I would give anything for him to be alive again? Not only for me, though. For him. Jesse deserves to see life. Not to be locked in this house for all eternity.
~i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me~
My mind is racing. I can't stop thinking about him. I have to constantly remind myself that he's a ghost. Not even alive. I can't love a ghost. But my mind keeps flashing back to that day in the hospital when he so lovingly caressed my face. I could have sworn he felt something for me then. I could feel it.
~have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
i knew you loved me then~
No, I kept telling myself. He's a ghost. A stupid ghost. As much as I repeated that in my head, another part of my disagreed. Jesse is not another lost ghost. Jesse is my friend. One I also happen to love with an all-consuming passsion.
~i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you

I opened my eyes to see him staring out into the sea, and the waves lapping against Carmel Beach. I studied his face. The one that had come to my rescue so many times before. That face that laughs at all of my stupid jokes. That face that offered to stay with me all night so his knife weilding ex-girlfriend won't try to kill me. That face I love.
~i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over~
I rested my head to one side, and began to drift to sleep. But before I did, I could have sworn I heard Jesse whisper, "Te amo, querida. I love you, Susannah." But I must have been dreaming.
A/N: Yeah, I know, it was a little . . . well, lame. This was my first song fic, so please tell me what you think.
