Chapter 6:"Three's Company"

Ok that was fast. I called like a minute ago.

"I know. I was just in the neighborhood picking up a few things." Oh yeah I forgot he could read my thoughts. I am not even safe in my own head, what gives? "There is no need to fear me Suze. I am only here to help. If you prefer, I will stop reading your thoughts."

"That would be nice." I got in the car and buckled up. Paul looked content, and that smirk was replaced by a smile. Ok this is weird. Paul is being nice. The only time Paul is ever nice is when he wants something. The ride to his house was silent. I was thinking what my life would be like if we changed the past. I mean, I would have my room all to myself, I would be free of the pain I felt, but I would also be free of the good memories. I guess that is why I had doubts about the whole thing. It was a bitter/sweet feeling. Give up the bad, and give up the good. Do I really want to do this? Of course I do. I am doing this for all the right reasons. I pushed all the other thoughts aside as we drove up to his house.

"We're here." Paul got out, went to the other side of the car and opened my door. Ok, can we say weirder? I mean he was being totally not himself. Maybe I never gave him a chance to.

"Thanks."

"No problem." I got out and he shut my door. Then he went to his trunk and pulled out two bags.

"What is in the bags?"

"It's a surprise." Ok I hate surprises, but I was trusting him that it would be a good surprise and not something I would have to break his nose for later. He started walking towards the house. I followed behind. We headed up to his bedroom. I was remembering the last time I was here. It made me shiver and not because I was cold.

Paul put the bags by his bed and pulled out a beautiful emerald green dress. It reminded me of Maria's dress, but with less lace. He placed it on his bed and pulled out some shoes to match.

"Ok. There are your clothes. I will go change in the bathroom and you can change in here." He left and closed the door. I picked up the dress. It was beautiful. I put it on and laced up the shoes. Perfect fit! Stylish and easy to move in (just incase I run into Maria, yes I still am holding a grudge against her) I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in. I'm ready." Paul opened the door. I turned around and just stared like an idiot. I couldn't believe my eyes. He looked exactly like Jesse, except he wasn't obviously, but pretty close. He was wearing the fitted black pants and the white opened shirt, black knee high boots and topped off with a hat.

"The hat is a bit much isn't it?"

"No, no it looks great."

"Wow. Look at yourself. Suze you look beautiful." I looked in the mirror. I felt rush of doubt creep into my mind, but it was quickly suppressed. This time not by choice. It felt like someone other than myself was controlling my thoughts. Paul came up and put his hand around my waist. "Suze everything will be fine. You just have to trust me." He kissed my cheek. What he said comforted me in some way. And I did, trust him I mean. Paul grabbed a book and an odd shaped necklace. It resembled a pyramid with and eye in the middle. He put it on and opened the book. "Ready?"

"Yeah." He grabbed my hand. It was warm, yet shaking. He started reading. A portal opened, like the one when you perform an exorcism. I felt something take my free hand. There was no time to see who or what because a bright twilight took us in, all three of us...
