For All Eternity

Summary: Mediators they are not, but Father Dom is. What about the ghostie guy living in her bedroom? Will Suze finally be able to live the life she's longed for or is a certain someone going to try and stir up some trouble in her life?

Note: The Mediator Series belongs to Meg Cabot; therefore, I do not own them.

Hey! I know, not another story but I couldn't wait to write this one! It just came to me like earlier today while I was at school and I thought it'd make a great story.

Susannah Simon. That's me. I suggest you call me Suze unless you want to get your arse kicked. And also, do NOT call me Susie, only my mom can call me that. My dad used to call me that too but he died of heart attack. I never saw him again. My mom got over him pretty quickly since she met a man, Andy. Andy lives in Carmel, California and has 3 sons. The eldest son is 2 years older, the second one is my age and the youngest one is a little younger than me. He came by New York tons of times to visit my mom but I never thought that 4 visits later he'd propose to her! I thought it'd be just a fling. Well, I guess I was wrong.

I wasn't always the perfect daughter my mom wanted. Yeah, sure, I'd date and stuff but the longest relationship I've been in only lasted 3 weeks. Gina, my best friend, would always double date with me and my 'one-night' boyfriend. We go out every Saturday but I'm not that kind of girl who flirts with every guy they see and I'm not obsessed.

It all started when I was 13 and this dude would always make fun of me, and I kicked him in his, um, you know; which earned me a day's suspension. My mom was WAY pissed. But after that incident, no one ever tried to mess with me…sure some did try but I always end up winning, one fight almost got me expelled though. So, now you see why my mother wants me to act like those other girls?

ANYWAYS, I just got back from school when I saw my mother smiling at me.

"Hi, Susie! How was your day today?" my mom asked. She's up to something…I raised one of my eyebrows. "Okay, what's up with you?" I asked. "Well…you know how Andy proposed to me right?"

I nodded.

"He said that after we get married he's to move here with his 3 sons…but I insisted that both of us would move to Carmel, California instead. Since it'd be easier, you know…?" she said.

"WHAT?" I shouted, gaping at her. "You mean to tell me that we're moving to Carmel right when I just started my sophomore year?" I continued on. I am pissed right now. "What about Gina and Grandma? You can't just expect me to just…m-move there!"

"Susannah Simon, will you please calm down?" my mother said. She never calls me by my full name unless she's dead serious. "Andy and I decided that after we get married, I go to Carmel first and you'll be staying at Grandma's house for awhile. It's because your new school, Junipero Serra Mission Academy, is full, for the meantime anyways. We have to wait until December for you to be able to get in. So spend as much time with Gina and Grandma and then we'll send you the airplane ticket right before Christmas, okay?"

"Okay…fine. I still can't believe you're making me do this." I said. Besides, it's only September, and the wedding is next month, I've got time.

Today is my mother's wedding and I am the maid of honor. Yes, I am. Right before the wedding, I decided to smoke. I never smoke, and I don't care if my breath smells like cigars. I'm just doing it to calm my nerves, I mean, what if my mom forgets all about me and leaves me rotting in New York?

"Suze?" Jake, Andy's eldest son, said.

"Yeah? Whaddya want?" I asked, not glancing his way.

"Are you a gang banger?" I froze.

"Where the hell did you get that from?" I looked at him by then.

"Nothing…just by the way you dress," I'm wearing my motorcycle leather jacket over the hideous dress mom's designer made for me. "…and you smoke."

"Slee-, I mean Jake, I am not a gang banger okay? And this is my first and last cigarette. I never smoked my entire life! What's wrong with the way I dress? It's just a freaking jacket." I tried to say tranquilly.

"Fine, jeez, just asking. You didn't have to be such a witch about it."

Only he didn't say witch.

My stepbrother, Sleepy-yes I call them by the Seven Dwarfs. Jake is Sleepy because he's never almost awake, Brad is Dopey because he's just plain stupid and David is Doc because he's just TOO smart for his own good- thinks I'm from a gang!

I dropped my cigarette to the ground and stomped on it. I headed back to the church where the wedding is taking place.

»»»»»»»»»

"And you may now kiss the bride…"

Okay, seeing your mother, who's in their early forties already, by the way, kissing someone else is just plain gross.

This is the last time I'll ever see my mom…but I'll see her before Christmas and I still have to spend my time with Gina and Grandma.

I'm not resentful of the fact that my mother is leaving me behind in New York for 5 months to move to California and be a mother to two dim-witted gits, and an exceptionally smart kid. Also that she'll be having fun in the sun while I'm here, freezing my ass off. No, I'm not resentful at all.

6 months later…

Time: It seems just like yesterday my mother was getting married and now I'm boarding on a plane to Carmel! I can't believe it's already December...now, I'll never see Gina and Grandma again. I just hope I get to visit. And I doubt I'll EVER fit in. Since most of the time, people are afraid of me. I don't know why, probably because I can break people's finger faster than you can say 'Don't mess with me.'
