Right, this may get a little confusing, but bear with me! And Im sooooo soooo sorry for not updating in AGES!! its just a friend of myn got back from her country and ive spent loads of time with her as she has to go back soon. Ive been on here but not lonmg enough to write this story.. so here it is!!!!!!!
When I got up the next morning Marta was still fast asleep. I looked at the time and it was nearing 12 in the afternoon. I figured I better get up and go, seen as I need to find more about this ghost. I rubbed my eyes sleepily and got out of my bed. I wrote a note to Marta that said: 'Hey, I had to go home coz of all the homework and I need to research some stuff. I couldn't wake you up so I left this note for when you finally get up!
See ya later! Suze x'
I got changed and made myself look presentable for going downstairs, as I walked down I figured I had better go down quietly in case everyone was still sleeping but when I got to the bottom of the stairs it was obvious that Marta was the only lazy one in the family as Jesse, Hannah and Isabella were all downstairs and Maria and Annabelle didn't stay here last night. I walked into the living room to say my goodbyes when Jesse said
"Hey Susannah"
"Hey Jesse, can you tell Marta I had to go coz I have things to research for school?" I asked him. I guess Jesses mum overheard me as she bounced into the room
"You're leaving? Already? Without any breakfast?" She asked. I nodded
"Yeah, I have to finish all my homework" I lied
"Oh, nonsense, have some breakfast and then go" She insisted. I thought I had better as I wanted to be polite.
"Okay" I said to her, she smiled brightly and walked out into the kitchen. Hannah and Isabella followed their mother into the kitchen so it was just me and Jesse in the living room. He gave me a kiss on the cheek, that kind of surprised me.
"What was that for?" I asked, surprised.
"What? Am I not allowed to kiss my girlfriend on the cheek?" OMG! He just called me his GIRLFRIEND! Well I guess that kiss last night wasn't just a kiss for friends, but I haven't EVER heard him say I was his girlfriend before. I just smiled at him and he smiled back.
"so, did you sleep well?" He asked
"Like a baby" I answered with a smirk.
"Have you found any information on that guy?" He asked
"No , not yet, I need to do that when I get home actually"
"Is Marta still asleep?"
"Yeah, I tried waking her up, but she's like a rock!" I laughed
"Jesse! Susannah!" Jesses mum called from the kitchen. Me and Jesse walked into the kitchen where we were greeted by a heavenly smell. There sitting on the table was everything you could have for breakfast Eggs, toast, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon you name it, it was there, well only of the breakfast variety. I had a waffle, said my goodbyes and thankyou's and with one last kiss on the cheek from Jesse as I was walking out if the door, I taking my bags by the door as I left.
I got home in about 2 seconds as it was jus a cross over the front garden. I walked through the front door chucked and my keys on the hook.
"I'm home!" I called to Andy and mum or whoever was home, but as usual I didn't have an answer I jus ran upstairs chucked my bag on the floor and turned my computer on an logged on to find some more info about ghost boy. I was searching the accident and as I typed into Google 'John Turner' it came up with something about Seattle. I clicked on it and it showed the picture of the ghost that has been visiting me. Obviously he has gotten a little confused and still thinks this place is Seattle. The accident was near the shop that he called 'Abstract' I wondered why I hadn't heard of anything that has happened down here. I looked to see if they had any leads, but of course, to make my life harder, it has none, zilch, nada! So I was deciding with myself whether or not to go out for a walk and clear my head or stay here and not get any leads on this mystery and sleep, I decided on the first option, I went downstairs and into the kitchen to see a note laying on the table 'Susie, Me, Andy and the boys have gone grocery shopping so when you get back, we may not be here, if you go out leave a note, bye sweetie, love mum' I wish she stopped putting sweetie at the end of everything, any who, I wrote a note saying that I was going to take a walk down the beach and that I'll be back before dinner. I walked down to the beach, don't ask me why I didn't take the car because I haven't a clue! I walking along the shore when I finally got there I saw a familiar figure over by the rocks, I silently walked over and sat next to the figure.
Pauls POV
I sat on the rock next to the shore, I was thinking about what happened back in Seattle and why I had come here, well, it wasn't because of Suze if that's what your thinking, oh no! It's actually something totally different, I heard someone come up near me, but I thought I would just ignore them and stay in my dream world, were everything was alright again and back to normal when someone said something that made me jump.
"Hey Paul" I whispered, he jumped, literally
"H...Hey S…Suze" He stuttered, Whoa, What's wrong with Paul, he never stutters!
"Are you alright? You seem a bit more…Jumpy than usual" I asked him worriedly
"No….Everything's fine, perfectly fine!" He shakily, he was acting really strange, absolutely NOTHING like the Paul I know.
"Really?" I asked "You know you can tell me anything" I added.
"Suze! I swear I never did it!" He shouted "I didn't mean to! I really didn't" He whispered, trailing off. I went over to him cautiously and put my arms around him and shushed him. After about 10 minutes Paul had started t calm down a bit, I've never seen him this emotional before and well…scared.
"Paul, what didn't you do?" I asked him soothingly
"I didn't mean to run him over!" He yelled.
"Okay, calm down, how did it happen?" I asked him calmly.
"Well, it was about 2 years ago, when I was still living in Seattle, just after I met you actually, I was seeing this girl that I was going out with, Maddie. I went to her house and as I stepped in I saw her kissing this other guy, so I got into my car and…and I lost control" He trailed off " And I hit him."
"Who, Who did you hit?" I asked him seriously, could this be John?
"It was a boy around our age, I'm not sure, but I know that it was all over the news and his life support machine had got taken off a couple of days ago, and now I feel really bad.." He said, upset. I froze, he meant the ghost that had been bugging me about the driver that had ran him over when he got back from Kelly'...but hey..wait.. wasnt Kelly living living here when this all happend?
"Wait..Paul, Kelly...Was Kelly in Seattle the time this happened" I asked him
"I'm not sure really, but i think she was, I think that guy that i hit was coming back from her house, well that's what I heard anyway" He said. He seemed much calmer than what he had been before. Unlike me
"Umm..Paul, you know the person you ran over?" I asked him
"Yeah, what about him?"He asked then it seemed like something had clicked in his head "Don't tell me he's come back?"
"Okay, I wont2 I said and looked away, I looked back at Paul and saw the panic in his face.
"Don't worry, I'm not sure he knows it's you yet"
"But what can i do? I can't run away forever, I mean, if he's out there looking for me, who knows what he'd do"
"I'm sure he wont, he probably just wants to know the person who killed him" I said, well I said the last bit sarcasticly, bt you get the point.
"Right and what is he going to do once he finds out who the killer is?" He said even more sarcastically. GOD! Why did I even help this jerk for? I just started to walk away when i felt an iron grip on my wrist, i know who it was.
"What? Slater?" I spat visciously
"Suze I'm sorry, it's just that...well I'm scared" He whispered he was leaning slowly into me untill suddeny i kneed him in the groin.
"Don't EVER do that to me again! Do you understand?" I asked "And if you think I'm going to help you with this ghost then you are 100 WRONG!" And with that, I turned away on my heel and stormed off to my house, stopping on the way to get a Diet Pepsi. When I got to my house I forgot my key so I knocked on th door and surprisingly someone was in.
"Mum said you forgot your keys" David said once he had opened the door, I just stared at him, MUM who's MUM? o! my mum, since when have they been calling my mum, mum?
"Oh, yeah sorry" I said once I had finally came out of my daze I went upstairs and layed flat on my bed for a couple of minutes before actually thinking of doing something. I picked up my fluffy princess phone (why can i not just change it?) and called up CeeCee to see if she wanted to come to the mall, I know, I know I hate malls, but theres absolutly NOTHING to do in this stinking house! CeeCee of course said yes and that she would be here in about 10 minutes, WITHOUT Adam, which was a surprise anway in them 10 minutes i decided to pick out something to wear I decided to war a red tanktop and a jean skirt accompanied by my stylish flipflops. I heard the door knock and ran downstairs.
"I go it!" I screamed and opened the door were CeeCee was standing.
"Don't forget the keys!" Yelled David from the fromt room. I jingled my keys to show him i had then and rolled my eyes as I stepped out of my house.
"My car!" I said to CeeCee, She huffed and walked over to my car. What? Why are you looing at my like that? I may look old, but I'm still a kid at heart! Anyway, we soon got to the mall and i parked up my car. It was nearing 4 o'clock and the shops close at half 5 so we only had one and a half hours to go bargin shop as CeeCee puts it. We shopped for ages I got this cute little top from River Island and tried to forget about the events that had happened today and forgot all about the ghosts. I got another top from Atlantic Clothing, a cool Rolling Stones top. I also got some betty boop pyjamas from New Look, sorry I have this thingwith pyjamas at the moment, so anyway, after we were all shopped out we stopped at a Cafe and sat down for a Hot Choc. We ordered our Drinks and picked our table when two people came behind us and one shouted
"Hello Susannah, Fancy meeting you here" I smirked, I knew that voice anywere
"Hey, Jesse" I smiled at him, next to him was Marta, she got a chair and joined our table while Jesse got their drinks.
"So... I know somethings up with you and Jesse, he's been grinning all day like an idiot, don't ypu dare tell me nothing is going on missy!" Marta whispered/ Shouted at me, well as loud as you can shout whe your brother is about a foot away.
"You and Jesse?" CeeCee asked "Yeah, I can totally see it! Girl, you know how to pick 'em" She said
"Excuse me? Eww! That's my brother anyway, Simon, tell me!" CeeCee went bright red when she had relized what she had said and stayed quite.
"Okay, well we kinda kissed last night, and he remembers" I said, happy that i could tell someone
"Wait, Everything?" She asked, I nodded "Well congrats my future sister in law!" I spotted Jesse walking over and hushed her with my lips.
"I got you marshmellows Marta is that okay?" He asked. Awww how sweet
"Thanks Jesse" She said. We all drank our hot chocolates and left. Little did I know that when I got home there would be a surprise waiting for me...
