With that, she kissed me again. Oh, how wonderful life is that I can be
here in Ly's bed kissing her without being a rapist...That sounded a
bit odd, but you get my meaning. I must admit though, her way of
keeping me here was working amazingly well. We didn't break away for a
while, and when we did, Ly just nuzzled her head in my neck and fell
asleep, smiling softly. I stayed awake a little longer, simply staring
at her serene face. When I did finally fall asleep, she was cradled in
my life be any better?
Suze's POV I woke up early the next morning...Imagine that. I was downstairs by 7:00, which is odd considering school doesn't start until eight and I usually wake up at about 7:45. I was calmly eating a bagel in a black skirt and a simple red top when Brad came down. He slouched in, opened up the fridge and was in the process of rooting through the fridge when he froze and slowly turned to me.
"Suze?"
I nodded and he cocked my head at me.
"What are you doing down here?"
"I woke up about twenty minutes ago Brad, close your mouth, your drooling on yourself."
He glared at me and then turned back to the fridge. When he had grabbed the jam and butter, he put two pieces of bread in the toaster. When they popped out, he covered them in the butter and strawberry jam and began stuffing it in his mouth. I finished my bagel and ran up to my room. No way was I going to watch Brad eat unless I had to. Jesse was there when I walked in.
"You're up early, Querida."
I nodded as I began picking through my room for a book I had to take to the library. I found it under my bed. Go figure. When I had slipped it into my bag, I prepared to go back downstairs. "Susannah, you are very quiet? Is something wrong?"
I hadn't realized how quiet I was being. I turned back to Jesse, he was sitting on his window seat and petting Spike.
"Sorry, not very talkative at 7:00 in the morning. Just a law of nature."
He smiled a little before nodding and opening a book. I smiled back and then went out the door. When I got downstairs and looked at the clock, it said 7:17. Great, now I'll just laze around the house until 7:50. I sat down in front of the T.V. and flipped it to MTV. They were showing music videos, and there was a good one on, so I watched it and then changed it when it ended and Jessica Simpson came on. No offense to Jessica Simpson...Oh, wait. Much offense to Jessica Simpson. I turned to the news to see a story on some girl who had been found in the ocean. Apparently she had been raped and murdered. "Oh great, now she's going to come to me." They showed a picture of the girl, she was pretty. She was Latino and had dark brown hair to her shoulders and honey brown almond shaped eyes. Just as they were moving on to the weather, the same girl shimmered into being right next to the T.V. She looked a little worse for wear, but that's understandable, considering that she's dead. How did I know she would come to me?
"Can you help me?"
I nodded and motioned for her to follow me. I went up to my room and closed the door behind her.
"Susannah, who is this?"
The girl looked down a little before answering.
"I'm Jessica Pascone."
Jesse nodded and then held out his hand.
"I am Hector De Silva, but you can call me Jesse."
"Hello Jesse."
The girl turned back to me.
"Now, Jessica, do you know what's keeping you here? Did you have any unfinished business? Something you needed to tell someone?"
She looked as if she was pondering for a moment, but she answered relatively quickly compared to some of the ghosts that I've handled.
"I need to let David know that I love him."
"Kay, and David is?"
She sat down on the bed and started crying.
"David Thornebaul is my...was my boyfriend. I was going to meet him when that guy jumped out of the alley..."
She started sobbing even harder.
"I was going to tell him that I wanted to get married after graduation..."
I sat down and tried to comfort her, but I had a time limit
"Suze! Let's go!" I stood up and smoothed my skirt.
"I'm sorry Jessica, but I have to go to school. Just stay here with Jesse and I'll try to help you after school."
Oh, I am so glad that it's Friday.
When I got to school, Wraith and Jake were just pulling up on her bike. They got off, removed their helmets, chained them to the bike, and walked over.
"Hiya Suze. How are you today?"
"Hi Jake, Wraith. I'm fine."
I observed them more closely, they both seemed extremely happy. I raised an eyebrow at them, but they simply looked at me oddly and we walked inside. When classes began, Jake and Wraith went to their seats, but Wraith began to lean on Jake the second she sat down. It seemed extremely awkward, but neither of them seemed to mind. They were both grinning like idiots. I walked over and sat down in the desk right in front of Wraith.
"Okay, something is up. What is it?"
