Disclaimer: I do not own "The Mediator" series or characters. Only Ava (though I would much prefer to own Jesse) Chapter 2
Ava's POV
That Suze girl left the office, leaving me with an old priest who looked somewhat shocked.
"You-you're a mediator, too?" He asked. I nodded.
"Who were those guys?" I asked.
"Susannah Simon and Jesse De Silva. You may have noticed Jesse is not, erm, among the living..."
"'Susannah' didn't seem to mind." Father D, I believe Suze called him, looked confused for a second, then frustrated.
"I keep telling them not to get attached, but do they listen to me? No. Of course not!"
"They did seem sort of, um, attached in a different way when I saw them." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes which he didn't open, but fumbled with.
"Jesse used to haunt Susannah's bedroom, but once they got... emotionally involved with each other... I persuaded Jesse to move into the rectory." She got to live with Jesse? Lucky. He is someone I'd like to get to know better...
"Now, tell me, please. Have you exorcised any ghosts?" I looked at him, startled.
"No." He looked relieved. "Why?"
"Well, I had a little trouble with Susannah when she first moved here about a year and a half ago..."
* Suze POV*
Jesse and I stood there kissing for a little while, but he finally broke off.
"Susannah, I can't help but feel guilty... Father Dominic doesn't like us being together..." He said. I looked up at him.
"But do you want to be together?" I asked. He did still like me, right? I had thought so, judging by the way he was just kissing me, but...
"Nombre de Dios, of course querida!" He sounded shocked. "I was just suggesting we relocate. It doesn't feel right, kissing you on church ground, especially with Father Dominic a few yards away..."
"Meet me in my room... that's one of the few places we can remain uninterrupted." I whispered in his ear, and he grinned and dematerialized. I hurried over to my car—yes, I finally got my license—and was about to hop in when I hear my name.
"Suze!" I turned, and saw Ava hurrying over.
"Yea?" I asked, somewhat impatiently. Well, I was about to go make out with my boyfriend whom I was madly in love with. I wasn't keen on being interrupted.
"Listen, I'm new here, do you think you- oh, and Jesse, if you want- could show me around and all? By the way, where did he go?" She looked around. I knew it. She had the hots for MY boyfriend.
"He's waiting for me." I gave her a meaningful glance, and she looked slightly disappointed. "I'll talk to you about it tomorrow, okay? I'm kinda busy right now." I climbed into my car and shut the door. Ava walked away, presumably to her car. I don't know why I was being to mean to her, it was just... a feeling I had. I didn't like her.
I came very close to getting a speeding ticket. I parked not too carefully in my driveway, and dashed up the stairs. Luckily, Brad was out surfing, Doc was at his friends house, and my parents were at work.
When I opened the door to my bedroom, Jesse was sitting up in my bed with a book. "I was wondering when you'd get here," he said, and set the book down. I sat down next to him, and he wrapped his arms around me and began kissing me, much deeper than he had at the Mission. He gently rolled over on top of me, and his hands held my hips tenderly. I wrapped my arms around his back, and we lay there for who knows how long, but then I heard a distant ringing noise, and Jesse pulled away.
"Should you get that?" he asked breathlessly.
"I don't really feel like it," I replied, and pulled his head down to me again. We continued kissing, and his hand slid along my side and underneath my shirt, caressing my waist until—
"Susannah! I know you're there! Pick up the phone!" Father Dominic's voice rang throughout the empty house. Jesse groaned and his head dropped onto the pillow next to me. "NOW Susannah!" Jesse rolled over, and I reached over to the phone next to my bed.
"What, Father Dom?" I asked grouchily. It's probably a sin or something to be rude to a priest, but then come on, he just interrupted a very pleasing make-out session with my boyfriend. But then, is that a sin too?
"Is Jesse there?" he asked. I bit my lip.
"Um, let me check... why, he is! He's just popped in to bring back that book of David's he borrowed-"
"Susannah, stop. I know why he was there." I cringed. "Tell him to come to my office right now. I need to talk to him." He hung up.
"Wow, he's pissed," I said, sliding back into Jesse's arms. "He says you need to go see him right now. Then he hung up on me." Jesse winced, too, then sat up.
"I'd better not make him any angrier than he is... I'll see you later, querida." He kissed me once on the lips, then dematerialized. I flopped down on my bed and groaned.
~*Jesse's POV*~
Susannah. Everything about her fills me with love. Her beautiful green eyes, her stubbornness, her headstrongness, and of course her humor and kindness. We were on her bed, kissing, when Father Dominic called and interrupted us. And he certainly didn't seem pleased when he demanded to see me immediately.
I dematerialized and went to his office, where he was waiting patiently for me. However, he didn't seem too mad, more frustrated. "Jesse, you know you can't do this." he said calmly, yet forcefully. I felt guilty.
"Si, I know Father, but I can't help it." It was true. Father Dominic looked pained.
"Jesse, but eventually you're going to move on, and you and Susannah will both be heartbroken. She was bad enough when she just thought you didn't like her... if you leave for good, I don't know how she would handle it."
"Father, I know. The last thing I want to do is hurt her. But I love her. I do. I love her more than anyone else." I had never said that out loud, to anyone, not even Susannah. I knew she liked me, but how could she love me as completely as I loved her? Father Dominic looked like I had hurt him, personally.
"Jesse..." He sighed, unsure what to say. I sat down, waiting patiently. "Does she know that?" he asked.
"Well... no." I admitted. "You're the first person who I've ever told. Not that I could tell many people," I muttered the last part to myself.
"Jesse, I..." he trailed off. I watched him pace silently. "Could you...exist without her?" I looked at him, confused.
"No. If she died and moved on, I'd just ask you to exorcise me. I think she is why I've been here this whole time... I think that we're soul mates. If she is gone there is no point for me to stay here." He turned towards me, with an apprehensive look on his face.
"Jesse, since this is the case, I... I think I might be able to bring you back to life." A/N: there you go! Chapter two is done. I decided to leave you with a bit of a cliffhanger. Ava will be back, don't worry. Reviews will make me write faster!
