You Can't Have Everything
Chapter 1: "Regrets of the Past"
What have I done?
My life was fine before my trip back to the past. I had a great boyfriend, whom I loved and loved me back. He was everything I ever wanted, except for the fact that he was dead.
Was being the key word.
Then Paul happened. I don't blame him for everything, most of it, but not everything. It was partly my fault. I gave in. I decided to go through with his plan. I fell into his trap. Everything was going according to his plan until Jesse showed up. Then the plan failed. You would think I would have been happy.
You would think that, right?
Jesse was alive and we were back in the present, together. I wasn't even grounded for getting home late. Jesse and I could finally have a real relationship, or so I thought.
But no one warned us about the consequences of our actions...
So there I was, lying on my bedroom floor struggling to hold on. I tried to open my eyes, but all I saw was thick darkness. My head felt like someone was pounding it with a sledgehammer. I finally let the darkness take me.
Jesse's P.O.V.
I couldn't stop smiling. I stood outside her house staring at her window. I could finally be everything my querida needed. I felt like everything would be all right: that nothing could ruin this moment. I saw her beautiful silhouette through the curtain. She stood there still then suddenly dropped to the ground. I tried to materialize up to her room and then remembered I couldn't. I ran towards her door, but was stopped. I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I was lying on the ground and the last thing I remember thinking was 'don't forget me, Susannah' After that, all I saw was black.
Nombre de Dios! Who is kicking my ribs?
I opened my eyes and turned over to see who was disturbing my sleep. A young man who looked familiar stared at my face.
"Hey, buddy are you alive?" Besides the terrible ache in my head, I would say I was ok. Instead I just nodded and asked,
"Where am I and how did I end up on the ground?"
"Like I would know. Are you Suze's new man? What did you fall while you were climbing from her window?" He gave out a satisfied laugh. "She is so busted. Dude, what's up with the outfit? You know, I don't want to know." I then realized it was Susannah's stepbrother Brad. I also remembered what had happened to Susannah and I ran into the house. "Susannah!" I yelled to see if she was alright. She didn't respond. I ran up the stairs to her room.
What I found behind her door stopped my now beating heart.
There my querida was lying on the ground. I bent down next to her. She wasn't breathing. I cradled her in my lap and stroked her hair.
"Susannah, please wake up." I couldn't understand. I had just left her an hour before. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I looked back at her face and noticed her eyes were open, wide.
"Who are you?" That was all she said and it broke my heart in two.
