What if Jesse was alive but never told Susannah how much he loved her and remained a friend, nothing more. Would Suze marry Paul? Or would Jesse admit his feelings for her?

Chapter one: Intervention

Suze's POV

I watched as the glistening waves lap gently against the sand as the morning breeze swept in. I sighed and went back to sleep, then with a jolt I sat back up, so suddenly, that the whole bed moved under my weight. I was getting married today. I was getting married to Paul Slater and in the next few hours I would be Susannah Slater, I toyed with the idea in my head, Susannah Slater hmm... not as good as Susannah De Silva. Whoa back up, did I just think that? What's the matter with me? Jesse De Silva is my best friend, we never... we could never... where just friends. I think I need some breakfast.

Jesse's POV

I watched as the glistening waves lap gently against the sand as the morning breeze swept in. I sighed and as I lent back in my chair. I couldn't get it out of my head, she is getting married today. Susannah – love of my life- is getting married to Paul Slater. She is to be Mrs Susannah Slater and there is nothing I can do about it. I had my chance and I blew it. Susannah De Silva sounded so much better to me. I groaned, I was killing myself slowly. This was going to be a long day.

Suze's POV

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for Paul to ask Jesse to be his best man. Ever since I could remember they hated each other. Paul is jealous of Jesse, I don't know why but he hates us spending time together, I mean Jesse and I are friends. Jesse on the other had...well I have no idea why he hates Paul. I need to stop stressing, this is the day I have dreamed about ever since I was a little girl. Paul is...well Paul, I admit at the beginning he was arrogant and self-centered but thankfully he grew out of it. Plus I love the guy... at least I think I do... I let my mind wonder back to thoughts of Jesse. WAIT.. I have to snap out of this. I love Paul and I am going to be Mrs Susannah Slater by the end of the day.

Jesse's POV

Can I really do this? Can I stand up there as Paul's best man and pretend like every things alright? I don't know if I can stand there watching my Querida marry that... that... hijo de a perra (LOOK IT UP). I guess I have to for Susannah's sake, could she ever for give me? Would she hate me if I admitted my feelings for her? I want to tell her I lov- my thoughts were rudely interrupted by the doorbell. With a heavy sigh I went to see who was so desperate to see me at 7:30 am. To my surprise Adam and CeeCee were at my doorstep – Adam's never out of bed this early so this must be important- "Hi guys come in" my voice was full of confusion, "what can I do for you?"

" Where going be quick" promised CeeCee.

" We're here because well... the thing is" stumbled Adam.

CeeCee cut to the chase "Jesse, we know you love Suze, everyone knows, except well... Suze, you can't let her marry Slater, hes not right for her, you are, we all know it and deep down Suze knows it".

WAIT... REWIND AND FREEZE! "um... I ..well" thats all I could manage to say.
