Chapter one The accident
Suze pov
I woke up to an innecent day, my boyfriend Jesse was already up and making breakfast as usual. I slid on a yellow shirt and a knee length orange skirt before heading downstairs.
"Morning!" God I was cheery today.
"Good morning Querida." Jesse wrapped his arm around my waist, holding me close.
He had work in an hour, a docter his dream, while I work as fashion consultant, not as glamorus as it sounds, I follow people and tell them if they look good in differant outfits.
Hey atlest I had a job, right?
Anyways, Jesse and I left for work, pretty uneventful until I got home.

As I left wock to return home a feeling of dred washed over me. Pulling into the drive I noticed the door was wide open, jumping out I ran to find Susannah.
"Susannah?"
I fearfully and slowly walked around the house, one room to the next expecting to see Susannah laying in a pool of blood. No she was alive, I know it! Finally I came to the bedroom I feared for what was behind the door. Clothes, CDs and other odds and ends where spewn all over the room and a blood spot was in the middle. The connecting bathroom door was closed and her voice was inside, scared and valnerable. She started to scream in pain, in panic I kicked the door down. the intruder lept up, throwing my querida to the floor her head connecting to the sink on the way down. I winced but looked to her attacker, who sneered and left through the window.
I stumbled to her strocking her face softly. tears formed in my eyes, I felt pangs of guilt. my poor querida. She was wrapped in a towel, which fell as I picked her up. She was not wearing any clothes, though I have seen her undressed the thought of some...some...monster with his hands on her like this sickened me. I carefully rewrapped her and layed her on the bathmat before I ran to get another towel. I slid it between her legs where she was bleeding extencively. I had left the room to find Susannah some clothes when I heard a soft moan.
"Querida, Are you all right?" I questioned before I was through the door.
"J...jesse?" she moaned.
Suve pov
I felt my self be lifted slowly off the floor. My head pounded on, but over that i heard a fimiliar voice specking softly in spanish. I felt some clothes move over my body. Was I being dressed or the oposite? My brain didn't seem to work.
"Jesse?" I whispered.
"Yes?" came the equally soft reply.
"Theres something I need to tell you..."
"Later, you need rest."
Jesse pov
I needed to know what she wanted to tell me, but she did rest. I felt nervous leaving to go to work so I left her a breif note asking her to meet me at one. I guess that made me a little over protective.
Suze pov
As I streched I saw the note Jesse left, meet him at one, okay. Maybe I could finally tell him the news, well I will just have to wait until one.
At five to one I pulled into the hospital parking lot. Paul somehow appered and followed me to the door. Right before I got there I froze, I saw Jesse, but he was making out with some nurce. How could he? I thought he loved me, apparently I was wrong.
Paul pov
We got to the door where Suze was supost to snap at me to leave and she just stops. I look up and see why. Theres de Silva makin' out with some hot chick when he has Suze, an even hotter chick, to drool over. Suze looks ready to collapes so I grab her arm and lead her to my car. She sat in the passengers seat, murmmring "How could he?" over and over. De Silva just destroyed Suze, for what? A girl that is going to up and run when she likes someone else? If he gets hurt, he deserves it.
Jesse pov
I don't know what happend. One minute I'm talking to Sara and waiting for Susannah, when she throws herself at me.
Sara broke away with a big smile, "Hey, isin't that your girlfriend?" She laughed. "What a loser."
I pushed past her to see Susannah. Paul was leading her away, he sat her in one of the car seats and she burst into tears. she had seen me and Sara, but the worst part was I had hurt Susannah. I had broken her heart, I felt ashamed of myself. I went over to her but Slater got to me first.
"De Silva, I thought I hated you before but this... this is just evil. You have Suze but shes not good enough for you? Then insted of just telling her you show her how much you hate her is that right? You ripped out her heart and pounded it to dust." Slater treated Susannah like a sister the way he was protecting her.
"Look I just want to talk to her. Okay?" I moved to go around him.
He stepped in my way. "She doesn't want to talk, she never wants to see you again." Slater turned back to his car and drove my Susannah away. It was all my fault, I just hung my head in shame, but I had to tell Father Dominic.
