nikki007- thanks v much for the positive review and though I never updated the other fic, here's a sequel.
Oki, people! Here's a one-shot songfic sequel to 'Dream of Me When I'm Gone'. Jesse's been gone say for two months now and Suze still can't forget him. This originally started off as a chapter of a different fic but I think it fits better this way. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Suze, or the wonderful man she is thinking of- Jesse!- they belong to Meg Cabot. The song is Britney Spears' 'Where are you now'
Somehow
We were walking along the beach. It was full moon. It was such a beautiful night. Jesse and I had just watched the sunset by the sea and then he had taken me out to dinner.
Yes, Jesse was now alive. He'd already met mom and Andy and they both adore him. Life was so perfect. I had already graduated from high school two months ago and I was just so happy. My life was finally going the way I wanted it.
Anyways, we went back to the beach after dinner and we just sat there staring at the sky. The sight was breath-taking, though not as breath-taking as the man of my dreams, sitting right there next to me.
"Susannah," Jesse said suddenly.
"Yeah?"
" There is a question I've been wanting to ask for a very long time now.." he said slowly.
" And that question is..?" Oh my God is it what I think it is? Please let it be!
" Susannah Simon." He turned around and faced me. " Will you marry me?"
I just stared at him like a giant zit had suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Unbelievable.
" OH MY GOD, JESSE, YES!" I squealed.
I expected him to sweep me up in his arms and rain kisses down on me. None of the two happened. He just stared at me with a blank look on his face.
"Jesse? Jesse?" I asked. " Jesse, I said yes. Didn't you hear me? Jesse! Jesse!"
"Jesse! Jesse!"
Your face still looms in front of me. I reach out and make to snatch you back, so that you don't fade away and disappear. But my hand closes round thin air, you're not here anymore.
Calling out your name
Your face is everywhere
I'm reaching out to you
To find that you're not there
I slump back onto my pillow. How pathetic can I get? I know you're gone forever, I can't have you back. Yet you still haunt my dreams. Every night I wake up, hoping you are still there. But you're not.
I wake up every night
To see the state I'm in
It's like an endless fight
I never seem to win
But there's something that still bothers me. Something that's keeping me from letting you go.
I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Where are you, Jesse?
Where are you now, what have you found
Are you in your nest life? Are you in heaven? Have you found happiness? And...
Do you still remember me, love me?
Where is your heart when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
If only you could let me know, somehow.
I think about you so much, I sometimes feel as though you're still here, but I can never see you. I sometimes even seem to hear you, your smooth, silky voice, whispering sweet nothings and queridas in my ear. But none of it is real, because you have moved on. You can't stick around like you used to.
I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me
But yet so far away
I wish I could see you again, but how likely is that? I should give up and move on, myself. I know you don't want me to be like this.
I should let it out to see waht's left of me
And close the dooors of doubt, revive my dignity
But it's so hard 'cause no other guy deserves my love as much as you do.
But I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
So just let me know where you are and that you are happy. I want to make sure the love of my life isn't unhappy.
Like you are, you seem to say.
Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me now
Oh baby, so I can let you go
Like I am, indeed. I need to stop holding on to you, Jesse.
I should let it out
It's time to let you go
But I just want to know. Tell me!
Somehow.
Oh baby, I just want to know
Where are you now, what haveyou found
Where is your heart when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
But still, I get no reply. It won't happen because you can't communicate with me. How could you?
I sigh and close my eyes. I slowly drift off to sleep, my thoughts still on you.
Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me now
Oh baby, so I can let you go
And just as I drift off to sleep, a small voice in the back of my head seems to say:
Forget me querida, I don't want you to suffer. You will realise someday.
Somehow.
Okay, okay I'm sorry the ending is so crap but that's the only thing I could think of! Aaaah, why do I always have to mess up my endings? I AM attempting a sequel to make up for this, but I only have some vague ideas so far, and besides, I still need my buddy Maya to check it out before I post it ( you can never be too careful!)
Anyways, plz feel free to drop off a review!
