Hey! Thanks for giving this story a try. I didn't come across any idea like this out there, so... Hope you enjoy this chapter!
*Disclaimer: I don't own the Mediator Series and any of the characters.
Suze's POV
I watched as the ghost of Jesse, his spirit, got sucked into the unmoving, dead but not quite dead, but still utterly handsome, nonetheless, body in front of me.
I bawled my eyes out-who knows that I am one to cry?-as I watched the love of my life die. And it is all because of me. ME! Why must I be such an idiot to transport Jesse together with me to this time! Argh, I seriously hate myself and my life right now.
I continued sobbing loudly at my love's bedside, holding his hand for probably the last time ever, and the tears only started to slow down when I felt a slight pressure on my hand. Immediately, I looked up, wishing for a miracle to happen, but of course, life is not so good to me.
The last bit of hope I have crushed into small little pieces and disappeared, together with the air. Sigh… I should have known better, even the doctors here don't know what to do with Jesse.
Because they don't have experience with the supernatural. One small part of my mind said, the one that held that small piece of hope.
However, I ignored it, not wanting to get my hopes up again, only to be more disappointed and depressed ever.
When I was too busy talking to myself-weird, I know but then after all, I am the freak, I mean talking to ghosts?-I didn't notice what happened around me.
That something that happened which lit up my whole life.
Jesse is alive! Jesse is awake! My love is back!
"Excuse me, miss. May I know where is this place? I don't recall seeing it before," The most beautiful voice asked, an old English accent slipping into it.
I launched myself into him, hugging him, kissing him. I am so happy that no words can describe enough of what I am feeling at this moment.
I noticed almost immediately that he squirmed uncomfortably under my touch. Afraid that I've hurt him somewhere, I pulled back.
I wanted to ask him what was wrong when he spoke, "Erm… I am sorry but then may I ask who are you?"
I froze. What the heck is going on now? In my head, I ran through what happened from when he woke up and realized something.
In his first question, he addressed me as "miss" and he didn't remember seeing the hospital before. He has seen the hospital before when I was hospitalized and he came to visit me. (Took place in the third book) I was too happy that I didn't take note then.
It hit me then. Oh my gosh! Did Jesse lose his memory? He forgotten me… forgotten that he loved me and I, him…
I decided to ask him a few questions to make sure of it first.
"Okay, now I am going to ask you a few simple questions and you have to answer them to the best of your ability, can?"
He nodded even though confusion was obvious in his eyes and etched on his perfect face.
"What is your name?" I started off with the first question.
"Hector De Silva but then my mother likes to call me Jesse."
"When are you born?"
"1830s."
"How many sisters do you have?" Well, actually Jesse didn't really tell me how many sisters he have, just briefly mentioned them. But then, little did he know that I read his letters to Maria and her letter to him.
"Five, all younger."
"What is your parents' occupation?"
"My family operates a ranch but then my mother is a housewife."
"What is your ambition?"
"Erm… Wh..What else can I do other than to take over my family business?" He hesitated.
"Jesse, you can trust me and tell my truthfully, you know. You promised." I reminded him.
"Fine. I…I want to be a doctor." (A/N: Refer to below) He finally admitted.
"Do you remember your erm… fiancée?" Please make him remember that he don't love her but me!
"Yes. Her name is Maria De Silva, my cousin. But then I am going to reject the marriage." Yes! At least he still doesn't fancy her.
Well, it seems that he do remember all these, but then why don't he remember me?
Oh my, don't tell me that he…
A/N: One reader has kindly informed me that I didn't get this piece of 'doctor' information from the fifth book as I have previously mentioned. I will find out where I got this piece of information and then update you guys!
Please Review! Thank you!
I will try my best to update soon, got another story to update as well, but then for this story, I already got the plot.
While writing this chapter, I came across this really useful website if you want to know anything about the Series:
