Jesse's POV

I couldn't believe it. Mi Querida was gone. I could almost remember the day perfectly…

Flashback

She came into the room, crying uncontrollably.

I ran over to her, and wrapped my arms around her, setting her down on the couch, and looking deep into her emerald pools.

"What's wrong Susannah?" I asked. Watching her cry made me so upset.

"My mother died. My stepdad is severely injured. I have to go, to take care of my stepdad!" She sniffled out.

"Querida, It's okay… I'll go with you to make it all better." She pushed me away.

"No. You can't come it just needs to be me." I gave her a hug, and she stood up off of the couch and started to pack her bags.

Tears started to come to my eyes, as she placed her suitcase by the door.

She was leaving.

End flashback

And now she was gone.

Tears continued to fall from my face. I decided to call Adam.

With shaky hands, I grabbed my phone out of my pocket, and dialed his number. "Hello?" He asked, sounding kind of sleepy.

"Hey Adam, It's Jesse." I said, kind of in a depressed voice.

"Jesse? I-Is there something wrong?" he asked.

"Susannah's gone." I sniffled.

"Oh my god!!! JESSE!!! WHAT??? WHAT HAPPENED???" I breathed in and told him the story. I sat down on the front lawn, staring at my house.

"Jesse….. I'm… sorry." He said.

I started to cry, and hung up the phone.

I had to face the facts.

Susannah… was gone.

I needed to move on.

2 months later

I still hadn't found a girl that was quite like Susannah. I have grown apart from the person I had once been.

The person that had everything.

The person that had a fabulous job, a great girlfriend, and a beautiful house. I don't have any of that now.

Susannah was gone, they fired me for not staying on tasks, daydreaming all the time, and not paying attention.

I had to sell my car, and my house.

I live in an apartment, and I drive CeeCee's old silver Honda.

I work at Food-n-Mart. One very lonely day, when I was sitting at home, watching the T.V, I got a call from Adam.

"Hi." I grumbled into the phone.

"JESSE!!! OMG DUDE I HAVE THE GREATEST NEWS!!!" Figuring it was something to do with him and CeeCee, I groaned, and said,

"What???"

"SUZE IS COMING BACK!!!!" I shot up.

Susannah.

Querida.

"WHEN???" I screamed, overjoyed.

"CEE'S PICKING HER UP FROM THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW!!! COME ON!!! I'LL PICK YOU UP!!!" I hung up, and slammed the phone on the table, nearly breaking it in two.

I turned off the T.V. and hastily put on my coat, shoved my keys and wallet in my jacket, combed my hair, threw on my shoes, and ran out the door.

Adam was already waiting there, and I flung open the passenger door, and slammed it. "Let's go!!" I said, totally out of breath.

When we got to the airport, we ran up to the 2nd floor, and CeeCee was standing there with that obnoxious grin on her face.

Then she started jumping up and down.

"Isn't this EXCITING??" I smiled at her.

"Yes." I said, straightening the collar of my shirt.

I must admit.

I was a little nervous.

"SHE'S COMING!!!!" CeeCee screamed.

Then I saw her.

I saw her chestnut hair sway back and forth, and her emerald eyes staring into CeeCee's. Then I gasped.

In her hand was another man.

It was a mistake to come.
