Chapter 14: "Past, Present, and Future"

(Suze POV)

"Looking for this?"

The air was still and the only sound came from crickets chirping. I could see the sun begin to rise behind the mountains.

I turned toward the owner of the familiar voice. Why did he come back? If I looked at him again it would just bring a fresh batch of tears and by then I was sick of it, crying I mean.

There stood past Jesse with Paul's book in his hand. He looked as if he just ran a marathon. Jesse was stuggling for air and sounded short of breath.

I thought at the time that maybe Paul had dropped his book and past Jesse came back to return it. Oh was I ever wrong. This was way more complicated then I could have ever imagined. Number one: That wasn't past Jesse...

Jesse started to come towards me. Paul looked murderously toward him and then grabbed my arm rather tightly.

"Jesse hand me the book so Suze and I can go back to our time." Paul sounded a little impatient.

"Let her go, Slater. I thought I told you to stay away from Susannah." I noticed his scar glowing dangerously white. What happened between them, anyway? Jesse couldn't have known about that. There were too many questions running through my mind. My head was pounding. I had just lost Jesse, his ghost anyway, and now here he is again. I just wanted to leave and forget about everything, I felt Paul's grip grow tighter.

"Now why would I want to do a thing like that? I see you have lost your outer-worldly glow. I guess your past liked to do a little reading, under the topic soul transference." Hold-the-Phone! What?! Jesse, my Jesse, is alive?

"Jesse?" My voice was soft and confused. What happened? Jesse lost his angered look for a moment and it was a replaced a hint of happiness.

"Yes, Susannah, it's me. I will explain everything later; right now we need..." Paul cut him off.

"I don't think so De Silvia. You ruin everything. This time you will not get away with it. You know have your life back. Let us get back to ours. I now am taking what is rightfully mine." I hate it when guys think that girls are their possession.

"First of all Paul..." I didn't finish because the next thing I know they were at it again. Fists flying and all.

"Susannah is not yours and never will be. Leave her alone!" Jesse spat in Paul's face.

"Oh, I suppose she loves you. How could you two ever work? You may have gotten your life back, but I can easily fix that." With that he took another swing. The book went flying and landed with a thud on the ground. I ran over toward it and quickly turned to the page on time travel. If Paul could open the portal then so could I. After all I am a shifter too. So I read it...

(Jesse's POV)

That was the last straw. I couldn't take it anymore. Paul had to be taught a lesson for every wrong thing he had done. I am not ashamed to say my emotions took over me. I lunged at him. He through a punch and I ducked but the book flew from my hands. I didn't care at the moment. Giving Paul what he deserved was all that was running through my mind. I heard the faint sound of Susannah's voice in the back round.

"You know what ever happens you will never win, Slater."

"Wrong. You may have won the battle, Jesse, but I will win the war. Like I told Suze, I'll be back and this time we play my way." He said those last words and we were thrusted through that same blinding light.

Suze POV

Note to self: No More Time Travel!

I was lying flat on my face in the middle of the road. I pushed myself up off the ground and looked around. Where was Jesse? or Paul for that matter. I was all by myself, at like five in the morning. At least I was back to the present, but I was still dressed in the now tattered emerald dress. I turned around and saw a pair of lights speeding toward me.

Before I had time to react, I was pushed to the side of the road.

I opened my eyes to a sight I had seen before.

"Querida, are you all right?" Jesse was inches away from my face. I just stared at him as I took in everything that had happened.

And what's with me always getting knocked down all the time? It is really getting old. I still couldn't believe Jesse was alive and here with me, in my time. Although I was very happy I had to ask why,

"Jesse, why didn't you stay with your family, in your own time? You could be living your old life right now. You would have been able to see and talk with your family and friends. Why did you come..."

I guess I must have been rambling on again, because the next thing I know, my mouth was silenced by Jesse's lips. No words could describe how it felt. If I thought Jesse was a good kisser when he was a ghost I had another think coming. It was the best moment of my life.

Jesse soon realized he needed to breathe and pulled away.

"Did that answer your question?" he gazed into my eyes and smiled. I gave him an embarrassed grin. "Susannah, without you my life would have no meaning. You were right. I would have been able to be with my family and friends, but that was my old life. I want to start my new life with you." He was holding onto me tightly and brought me closer. "I love you, querida, and nothing will ever change that."

Another mind blowing kiss followed that. We then decided that I had better get back before my mom totally freaked. As we were walking to my house, I had a strange feeling we were forgetting something.

Jesse led me to my door and gave my a soft kiss.

"Get some rest, querida. I will come check in on you later." Jesse started to walk away.

"Wait, where are you staying?"

"The rectory, of course."

"Oh yeah. Jesse don't give Father Dom a heart attack with your new look and all."

"I won't. I will tell him slowly."

"By-the-way, you told me you would explain everything."

"I will, but right now you need your rest." Why does he always do that? I wasn't tired, ok maybe a little. You would be too, if you just traveled 150 years back to the future.

"Oh and Jesse,"

"Yes, Susannah?" I could tell in his voice he was getting tired of me asking questions.

"I love you."

There were a few more affectionate kisses and then I finally made it back in the house. I knew I would have a lot of explaining to do, but I didn't care. I was in a happy dream world. Jesse could now take me places and I could introduce him to my family and friends. And best of all he loves me!

I looked up at the clock, 6:15 am. Ok good, mom already left for work. I slowly crept up the stairs.

"Where do you think you are going young lady?"

Darn! and I almost made it too. I turned around to see Andy with his arms across his chest looking up at me. "Where were you last night and why are you dressed like that?"

Quick lie, think Suze, think!

"I know I was sick and had to stay home, but I was needed at school for some president business. Then my friend asked if I could stay over, and I said yes cause I really needed to talk to her and then I came back home to get ready for school and now here you are asking me where I was and why I am dressed like this. Well, my friend was helping me rehearse a play I am trying out for and I must have fallen asleep in it and..."

"Ok hunny, I get it. Luckily your mother didn't know you were gone. She was called yesterday on special assignment and I couldn't get a hold of her. But now you are safe and sound and that is all that matters." I have now figured out that rambling on make people forget what they asked you and don't care anymore. They just want you to shut up. He gave me a smile and I smiled back.

"Thanks." I think I might be getting used to Andy, even him calling me hunny isn't so bad.

I turned back and headed to my room. Man was I beat. I couldn't go to school today.

Little did I know, school was the least of my problems.

I took off the old tattered dress and placed it on my chair. I took a quick shower and got ready for school. I was just about to lay down to take a quick nap, when the phone rang.

I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Is the Suze?" It was a tired, old voice on the other end.

"Yes, who is this?"

"This is Dr. Slaski. I am calling to tell you there is something wrong with Paul."

I smacked my head. How could I forget about Paul? Well.. anyway back to the point.

"What do you mean? Did he make it back home alright?"

"When he came home early this morning, my nurse found him coughing on the floor and then he just passed out. I can't explain it. He appears to be in a comatose state. What happened yesterday?"

Should I tell him? He might as well know. I told him the whole story. He was quiet for a few moments after and then spoke up.

"I think I know what is wrong. Suze, what ever you do don't fall asleep. I will contact you later when I have some more information." he hung up.

Not fall asleep. Was he crazy? My eyelids felt so heavy. I tried to do what he said, but it wasn't my fault. I fell to the floor and passed out...
