A/n: thanks to all my reviewers! I'll try to update as often as possible, and I know this is a short chapter, but I've been super busy—I'm in a play and tech week is coming up, for those of you who know what I'm talking about, and I haven't been getting home until after 8, and I need to do an extra credit project for science and I've have a thesis paper due tomorrow. But I'll write as fast as possible. I aim to please ;-)

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mediator series, only Ava (though I would much prefer to own Jesse)

Chapter 4

Suze POV

I came home from school that day, incredibly excited about that night. During third period, when I was hanging out with Jesse in the rectory, we talked about it, and tried to think about what he would do when he was alive. I was hoping my mother would let him stay in our guest room for a while, since he wouldn't have any money and the Monsignor probably wouldn't want him living in the rectory anymore. "Hey, Suze, how was school?" I was accosted by Andy as I tried to sneak up to my room. "Um, fine. What's for supper?" Figuring I was already caught, I went into the kitchen and grabbed a pear and a napkin. "Asparagus and Swiss cheese wrapped in chicken with a Caesar salad." "Sounds good. I have some homework to do, so I'll be back in my room." I ran, before he could protest. Up in my room, I took a quick shower, and changed into a pair of soft, worn jeans and an "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge" tee-shirt. I did my homework, but I could barely concentrate. Jesse? Alive? It was like all my dreams come true. Everyone else would be able to see him, he would age right along with me, we would be able to get married and have kids... okay, maybe I was counting my chickens before they hatched (excuse the cliché) but Jesse did love me, and I loved him. After I finished with my Calc homework, I called Cee Cee and gossiped for a while about school. Andy interrupted my call for supper, which I ate while staring off into space, a excited and gleeful look on my face. Dopey made several comments about my being stoned, but I was too out of it pay much attention (which doesn't do much for my defense). After supper, I tried taking a nap—I was going to be up late tonight, since we were meeting at midnight—but was too restless and didn't fall asleep until 10:30. When my alarm went off at 11:30, I put on a dark sweatshirt (for sneaking purposes). I sped down the hill on my ten-speed, and snuck into the mission without detection. In the church, I saw Father Dominic standing near Jesse, who was sitting in a pew. They saw me, and turned towards me. "It's time," Father Dom said, and we began to start.
