(a/n I've never done a mediator fic before so lay up before you flame my guts out. This is set after the disappearance/kiss. This is after the summary of haunted on Meg Cabot's website altered slightly to my likening.)

Time's Going Backwards.

Hell With Men!!

When I got into my room I collapsed on my bed. This had NOT been a good day. Paul show's up at school. I mean oh my god is he stalking me or something? Jesse has pulled another disappearing act on me. I mean can you believe that ghost? Kisses a girl get's her hopes up then disappears completely on me.

I groaned into my pillows. I was royally pissed at Jesse. I really could punch him for doing this to me. I mean the whole love thing. Don't even get me started on the it's gonna last forever thing. I groaned again.

I heard a familiar hiss and then a pathetic mewing. God it wasn't like hadn't fed the damn cat!! It ate better than I did. Stupid cat. When he stuck his claws in my leg my mood didn't improve.

"Ow!! Stupid cat get your claws off me!! I'll feed you." I limped into the bathroom grabbed a can of food then limped back out and tipped it into his bowl. I noticed that he was purring. Jesse was here. I could tell immediately. That was the only time it purred. I never purred at me like that. Stupid cat.

Jesse was just about to dematerialise or whatever he does when I caught him. " You come back here right now Jesse de Silva you have some explaining to do. Now please." I crossed my arms.

"Susannah." He started the sentence and trailed off.

"I'm waiting."

"I'm sorry that I kissed you." He said looking uncomfortable.

Oh My God! Okay that caught me surprise. "What?" I gaped.

"I know that it was wrong and that I shouldn't of projected my feelings onto you. I have to go now." He disappeared. I was left gaping. Then my lips curved into a slight smile. Projecting my feelings onto you? I liked the sound of that. But what was with that? Jesse nervous? Nah it must have just been me.



Suddenly the room began to spin.

I swayed feeling ill.

Then I was sitting down in a room. With a high ceiling. I blinked. I looked at a man who stood in clothing a bit like Jesse's but the shirt was more closed. Father some part of my mind said. Father, what was that about? He wasn't my father my dad was dead and this guy was very much alive. My eyes narrowed. Was Maria? What the hell was that bitch doing here? And why did she look alive?

"So it is arranged my eldest daughter will marry your eldest son. Susannah de Silva to Hector de Silva."

Say what?



The room swirled again and I was standing in my bedroom. I looked around. Susannah de Silva? Hector de Silva that was Jesse but did that mean wherever that was that they wanted me to marry him?

What the hell was happening?

(a/n wot do u think?)
