Jake just glanced at Wraith, and it clicked. Oh hell yeah! That is so
great! I started doing a little jig in my seat, earning an amused snort
from Wraith. The teacher gave me an odd look, but that's about it from
the rest of the room. Homeroom was boring, as was English lit after
that, and then gym, and then geography, and then algebra, and so on and
so forth, but it was the beginning of the weekend, so that was good.
When school ended for the day, Wraith and Jake were waiting at my
locker. This was beginning to fall into a schedule.
"So, are we still coming over tonight Suze?"
Oh yeah, huh. I had asked them to come over.
"Yeah Jake, you guys are still coming over."
I looked him over...Mom might be a little surprised to see him at our house. He was wearing a silk shirt, ( Him and those silk shirts...not that anyone of the female populace is complaining.) And black straight leg slacks. He looked classy casual in his all black attire. His white blonde hair was shining and he seemed to have the same affinity for wearing gloves that Wraith did. I shook the thought of moms reaction to him from my mind as we walked outside. I then remembered that usually I rode home either with Brad or on Wraith's bike, but Brad had already left, and only two people would fit on the bike. Just then, Adam pulled up beside me.
"Need a ride home, Suze?"
I looked at Wraith and Jake. They both nodded and I hopped into Adam's car.I am so lucky. "So, to your house we go, eh?"
I nodded and smiled a little. CeeCee and I are supposed to be making him normal, as you can probably tell, we are failing miserably. We pulled up at my house ten minutes later. When Wraith and Jake pulled up behind us, Adam swiveled around in his seat to look at them.
"Are they stalking us Suze? Let's pull away...very quickly so we have a good head start...and go to New Mexico!"
I shook my head at him and hopped out of the car. Wraith and Jake had already chained up their helmets, and they were waiting patiently I waved goodbye to Adam and walked with them into the house. Once we entered, I immediately led them up to my room. Jesse and Jessica were there already.
"Hello Susannah. Are you ready to help Jessica now?"
Wraith and Jake sat down on my bed as I nodded at him. What is it with me and nodding today? Why am I so quiet?
"Hi Jessica. I'm Wraith and this is Jake."
I turned to see Jessica smiling at them. Jesse looked oddly at Jake for a moment, but he seemed to let it go, because he simply turned back at Jessica.
"So, you don't know how we could tell him your message without him getting suspicious? That could be a problem for Susannah."
I saw Wraith and Jake look at each other and smile mischievously.
"So, you need to tell a guy something, but he'll get uber suspicious if some girl he's never met in his life walks up and gives him the message...Is he superstitious?"
Jessica nodded heartily and wiped a tear from her cheek.
"He has always been very interested in the paranormal and supernatural."
Jake raised an eyebrow at Wraith before asking,
"Does he believe in angels?"
I think I was starting to get it...I sort of smiled as Jessica nodded and Wraith turned to me. "Suze, do you have a white dress?"
I grinned heartily, because this seemed like it was going to be a good plan. I showed her a simple ankle length dress that I had for some special occasion I would never go to. She went to the bathroom and put it on, and I almost gasped when she came back out. She looked amazing in white, and I have no clue why she didn't wear it more often. Judging by the look on Jake's face, he didn't see her in white much either.
"okay Jessica, where does your boyfriend live?"
Jessica was opening her mouth to answer when Wraith shook her head.
'Never mind, just grab my hand."
She did just that and then Wraith closed her eyes. A moment later, they flurried back open and she looked at Jessica.
"Do you want to be there? Because if you do, you'll have to go to his room now."
She smiled back and then disappeared. Wrath turned to us, smiled mischievously, gave her salute, and smoked away.
David's POV
I was lying in my room, reading a book and moping. I was thinking about how Jess had been coming to meet me when that monster had grabbed her and killed her. She had called me, and she sounded so excited, like her dreams had come true. I sighed and threw my book off my bed. There was no point in trying to read now. That was all I thought about lately...I rolled onto my side and attempted to fall asleep when I heard a soft female voice.
"David Thornebaul?"
I sat up and looked around. I spotted a beautiful girl in the corner wearing a white dress, and she looked like she was glowing.
"Who are you? How did you get in here? I'll call the police..."
She smiled serenely at me and stepped forward.
"You have no reason to be afraid of me, David. I have a message for you."
When she spoke, it sounded like she was crying, laughing, whispering and singing, all at the same time...She was like an angel...AN ANGEL!
"Are you an angel?"
She nodded slowly and took another step forward.
"Jessica wants you to know that it's not your fault."
Her message was from Jess! I stood up quickly and leaned forward eagerly.
"What does she mean? Does she mean when she was coming to meet me?"
She nodded and I looked in her eyes. They were the most amazing blue I had ever seen. She must be an angel...No mere mortal could have those eyes.
"It is no one's fault except the man who did it to her. She loves you, and she misses you...But you'll be seeing her again."
I felt my eyes fill with tears, and I thought I saw Jess standing beside her. She was crying and looking at me with love in her eyes. When she saw me looking at her, she lifted her hand towards me, I did the same, and I felt her hand grab mine. She mouthed the words 'I love you', and the angel disappeared into smoke. Jess went with her. I stood there for a few moments, but when I felt tears sliding down my cheeks, I started to wipe them away, but stopped with my hand inches from my face. They were Jess's tears, and I didn't want to get rid of them.
Suze's POV
When Wraith smoked back into the room, Jessica wasn't with her. She was smiling like a fool and she had tears in her eyes. "He wouldn't wipe away his tears because she caused them...I smoked behind him and scanned his thoughts to see if he bought it...He was able to see Jessica!" She shook her head and sat down.
"If that isn't romantic then I don't know what is."
Jake wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head. Jesse was looking at them with an odd look on his face, but he turned back to me quickly and said,
"So, Susannah, who is this?"
Jake offered a hand to him and said enthusiastically,
"Jacob Michael Lattmore, at your service."
So that's what's with the J.Latt thing! Jesse shook his hand, (Still giving him an odd look.) and said,
'Hector De Silva, but you can call me Jesse."
Jake smiled at him and then curled his arm back around Wraith. We sat in silence for about five minutes before I heard someone downstairs, yelling through the house.
"Hey! I'm home in case anybody cares!"
It was mom.
"So, are we still coming over tonight Suze?"
Oh yeah, huh. I had asked them to come over.
"Yeah Jake, you guys are still coming over."
I looked him over...Mom might be a little surprised to see him at our house. He was wearing a silk shirt, ( Him and those silk shirts...not that anyone of the female populace is complaining.)
