Chapter 4: "Giving Him a Chance"

The next morning I woke up to someone shaking me.

"Suze, hunny, are you ok? Suze?"

It wasn't some poor, lost ghost or anything it was just Andy. He turned me around to face him. Bad idea. If I thought my headache hurt last night, I had another thing coming. It felt like I smashed my head into a brick wall. At least my heart was numb. Andy took one look at me and said, "Oh. You need some rest. There will be no school for you today. By the way, how did you end up on the floor?" I made up a quick lie. I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

"Well, I wasn't feeling well and must have fallen off my bed during the night. I must have been dead tired (excuse the pun) to get back into bed." He took it.

"I have to go to work today. Will you be alright by yourself?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine." boy was that ever a lie. I knew nothing would ever be fine again, but what could I say. I couldn't worry the man about my broken heart and shattered life. He just wouldn't understand. I wish I could.

"Alright then, I am running late, but when I get back I will make you something special. Bye Suze and feel better." again, I wish I could.

It was weird. You would think after the day I had I would just sleep for hours, like last time I visited shadow land. But no. Something was keeping me awake. That something was what Paul had said. "All I have to do is stop him from dying in the first place. You know it is the right thing to do, for everyone. This way he will be able to live a full life and so will you." Paul knew how to give Jesse his life back. I had to find out how, but first I had to talk to the one person that understands. I quickly got out of depression mode and got ready. I raced down towards the mission on one of the bikes. (I really need a license, but that is the least of my worries) I raced towards his office. Luckily, people were still in their classes so no one noticed that I was there. The secretary wasn't in so I let myself into the office.

"Father Dom sorry to bust in like this, but it is important."

"Oh hello Susannah, I was just about to call you. I thought since you weren't here something might have happened. Oh and there is the whole matter concerning Jesse." Great, just great. Mention him and then the tears come. That is what happened, I started crying. Father Dom must be used to me crying over Jesse, since he didn't seem surprised.

"Susannah, really, you have brought this upon yourself. I told you it was a bad idea to get involved with a ghost. Jesse told me all about what happened last night between you two and I think what you did was the right thing. I know how much you really care about Jesse, but letting him go is best, for the both of you. But what I want to know is what brought about the sudden change?" Well right then I blurted out a confession I shouldn't have even to a priest.

"I love him. I love Jesse, more than anyone I have ever known, but I don't deserve him. He deserves to live without me, with his family and those who deserve to be loved by him. I have a chance to give Jesse his life back and I am going to take it. After all the pain I have caused him, I at least owe him that." Father Dom looked taken back, partly because of what I said and partly because I said it so fast.

"What in heavens name are you talking about? How can this be accomplished?" I didn't have time to explain what I knew, but it had to be done.

"Father Dom I have to go. All I know is that it must be done soon, before I change my mind." I ran out of his office and to the nearest pay phone. I picked it up and dialed quickly. I knew he would be home, for the fact that the school had given him a three-day "vacation."

"Hey, it's Suze. Could you pick me up? I am at the mission."

"I thought you'd never ask. I'll be right over."

And a few minutes later, there he was with that same smirk on his face.

Father Dom's P.O.V.

She just ran out of the room without answering my question. I hope she knows what she is doing. As I was getting up from my chair, I saw a familiar glow. "Jesse?" Oh no, from the look on his face he had heard the whole thing. He was probably going to try and stop her. "Wait, Jesse, she might be doing the right thing. Don't..." but I didn't get to finish. He was gone, just like Susannah. I fell back in my chair. I hope that everything will turn out right in the end, for everyone.
