Disclaimer : Once again, the great and wonderful Meg Cabot owns everything! Well, almost. The plot line is my friend and my idea and the characters of Anne, Adriaan, Alea and Denise are ours as well.

Sorry for the long absence of posts, but I am afraid to say that my dumb stupid butthole of a computer has crashed once again. I do not know when I will be able to get it fixed but I hope it will be soon. Anyway, as I know that you are all just DYING to see what happens I am typing this up at the co-writer's house and on her computer so that you can have your post. ;) Okay, I am going to quit babbling and let you read this "wonderful" chapter :) Have fun!!!!

Susannah's POV:

I only had one thought running through my mind. "Oh my God! He's ALIVE?!" I managed to gasp out. Holy crap...this was like the best news ever....and then I thought about what else Maria had said and I screamed out. "We have to help him."

Maria looked at me stupidly. "WE? Have to help him. No, no, no....Susannah...YOU have to help him. My job is done." She said, evilly.

I looked at her and wanted to beat the crap out of her right then...but she had helped me and as badly as I wanted to hurt her...I knew I didn't have time....maybe later. I grinned and then grabbed my things and was out the door before she could even tell me where he was.

"Susannah!" She yelled at me.

I looked back.

"He's about 2 streets away from your house!" She yelled out again.

I took a huge breath and then ran out the door of the diner and jumped on someone's bike. I didn't care that I was stealing it. I didn't see the owner's and what they didn't know didn't hurt them, right? I hurriedly pumped my legs as fast as I could. Then I threw on the brakes quickly and heard the tires of the bike squeal against the road. "MARIA!" I yelled out.

She materialized in front of me a couple of seconds later. "WHAT?!" She hissed.

"I need you to find Paul for me and stall him...bring him to where Jesse is now....tell him Susannah is waiting for him." I said hurriedly.

Maria shook her head. "Hell no. I most certainly will not help you anymore."

I looked at her. "If you don't help me I swear I'm not going to let you go back to Diego....I'll make you suffer here and I will make sure to torture the shit out of you until you go slowly insane and your brain turns into mush." I said, evilly, my face completely serious.

Oh my goodness you should have seen the look on her face, because just as quickly she had dematerialized with a huff and said that she would most assuredly help me and find Paul. I laughed and continued on my way to find Jesse.

Jesse's POV:

I can feel my heart beating slower and less steadier than before as the blood seeps from my wound. I can not help but think of how I have let down David and Susannah's family. But more importantly I have let down my querida. I do not know if I will die and become a ghost again....or if I will die and move on. I hope...that for mi amor's sake...that I will become a ghost once more and then I may be able to continue my search. But....if mi querida is gone...then I'd rather move on....it would not be worth it to stay here without her here. My heart is already broken I do not need for it to be completely crushed to pieces. As I sit here thinking these final thoughts, I can feel myself starting to fall into an eternal sleep and I can see my vision going hazy. And I feel so cold. Like someone has thrown me into an icy lake. Suddenly, a bright light surrounds me and I look around dejectedly...knowing that I have failed mi querida, mi amor, mi corazon....

"Jesse...."

A voice calls my name but I do not know who it is. I look around and see no one. "Who is there?' That is when I notice that I am no longer in the street, but I am standing in an empty white room. Curiously I look around and still see no one. "HELLO?!" I ask loudly. All I hear is my own voice echoing back to me. I sigh and sit down.

"Jesse...."

"Who is it?!" I ask angrily, looking around. Then someone appears....a familiar someone....with bright blonde hair and blue eyes. I look harder and notice that it is the woman from the clothing store. "What...how????" I start to ask...but she interrupts me.

"Jesse, do not ask. All I can tell you...I will tell you now." She sighed. "My name is Alea...short for Aleandra." She looked at me, sadly. "And this is mi amiga Deni...short for Denise." She said, pointing to someone at her side.

I look again and notice the same girl that I had bumped into that day when I'd first met Alea. "I do not understand."

Alea's POV:

"Calm yourself Jesse, please." I turned from him and looked at Deni. "I can't believe we screwed this up again." I sighed angrily, running a hand through my hair.

"Relax Ali...seriously. Just calm down....maybe we can fix it. After all...." She looked at me and whispered. "Susannah is already on her way....so everything will be alright...hopefully."

"Yeah but what if she doesn't get to him in time...you and I both know what happens to both him and us." I said, thinking hard about what would happen. If Susannah didn't get to Jesse's body in time, then he would cease to exist and it would be like he was never here....and if that happened, then we would loose the title of what we were and become human....a scary thought for us let me tell ya. I looked at Deni and sighed.

"Excuse me?" I heard a voice ask from behind me. "Where am I, exactly?"

I looked back at Jesse. "Jesse...you are in a....room...that is all we can tell you." I said, mystically. I saw Deni roll her eyes at me and I stuck my tongue out at her.

Jesse looked at me and nodded. "Okay...so...I remember you girls, but...what are you? Who are you?" He asked curiously and with that hot latino accent. Good gosh he was so cute. I sighed and then slapped myself mentally and looked at him. Then me and Deni went over and sat on each side of him and looked at him. I guess I was in charge of telling him everything. I sighed and began.

"Jesse...we...me and Deni....are you and Susannah's guardian angels...." I said, somewhat unsurely. "We have a tendancy to.....get into trouble....sometimes and the price we pay....is usually something bad happening to you and Susannah." I stopped and let him absorb that all in.

He looked at me startled, before starting to curse in Spanish.

"Jesse, please....stop." I said, tiredly. I had expected that. "The reason why we get into trouble...is because...well...we like to meddle with fate quite a bit...and...we're really not supposed to...but you and Susannah...well...you don't give us much choice. You're always beating around the bush and trying to get to each other...but....you never make any moves. It's actually quite sad to watch..." I said, looking out into space.

'Alea...we don't have much time' I heard a voice in my head and looked over at Deni...knowing that she was doing it.

'I know.... I know....' I thought, sending the message to her. I looked at Jesse again and smiled, he by the way, was looking quite agitated with me at the moment and had gotten up and started pacing...muttering in Spanish. I only caught bits and pieces of what he was saying, but it sounded suspiciously like... "Stupid girl...trying to mess with Susannah's and I relationship...how dare they...they only make things worse...idiots..."

"Hey! I can understand Spanish you know!" I said, somewhat irritated with the hot latino male in front of me.

"Lo siento." He said, distractedly. "Sorry." He said, as he sat back down and looked at us.

"Listen Jesse, we're trying to help you out now, by sustaining your life a little longer....hopefully someone will come by and see you or save you...." I said, sounding unhopeful. But he nodded in understanding just the same.

"Okay..." He said slowly. "I understand."

"good." I said, "Because...we're going to have to send you back now....and you must stay awake and you have to try and stay alive....because if you do....hopefully...." Deni put a hand over my mouth quickly and shook her head.

'Well...never mind." I said, grinning before making everything disappear and making Jesse go back into his hurt and dying body. I sighed and looked over at Deni. "I just hope that he'll be okay until Susannah....gets here....if she ever does...where is that girl....she's so slow." I said, gritting my teeth angrily.
