My heartbeat sped up just by the sight of Jesse. This was the first time I have seen him sense that night at the graveyard. I would never forget that night. I slowly made my way over to where Jesse was sitting and I sat down next to him.

"Thanks for um... bringing Spike back. I...I mean...Spike really misses you." I managed to mumble. I could feel my cheeks heat up. I can't believe I almost told him I missed him! God, of all the times in my life why did I have to be so stupid now? "I swear I didn't let him out on purpose, it was some dead guy who let him out I swear he just like, let Spike out when I was downstairs in the kitchen or on the phone, I don't even know when he did it but..." I was cut short by Jesse. His hand cupped my face and he was laughing, only a little though.

"Querida," he said with that voice that made my insides tingle "I didn't hear a word you just said you talk so fast." I really have to control my blabbing problem.

"Oh." I said and then I think I blushed again. I repeated everything to Jesse, slower this time, and I told him all about the Mysterious ghost who payed me an unexpected visit earlier that day.

"This man sounds very strange, Susannah." he said to me. "He says he does not know why he came to you?"

"That's what he said." I replied

"Susanna, you should tell Father Dominick about this," Jesse was sort of being a hypocrite just then because he didn't know why he was being held back from the after life either and yet he said it was "strange" that this dude didn't know why he had not moved on.

"I don't really think its that big of a deal Jesse, I mean come on I didn't do anything to him so why would he be a danger to me?" This was true because I have never even met this guy before.

"Querida I really think you should...." If this was any other ghost besides Jesse I think I would have slapped him by now.

"Jesse I'm fine, its nothing I swear, he probably wont even come back." At least, that's what I was hoping.

"I have to go now Querida, Father Dominick was not very pleased when I had to come back here." He gave Spike one last hug and whispered to him "You take it easy on her ok?" Spike just sat there and purred. Stupid cat. Oh my God I was jealous of a cat. Why do I have to be so pathetic? "Susannah, if this ghost hurts you in any way all you have to do is call."I knew why he meant by "call" because I have done this before. By accident of course.

"O-ok...I whispered because he was now 2 inches away from my face." I was thankful that I had just used Listerine when I was in the bathroom. Then he leaned down and kissed me lightly on the lips, and then he was gone.

Cee-cee called me later that day and asked me if I wanted to go down the beach with her and Adam, her secret love. Of course I said yes because I was no longer depressed, and why should I be? I had just had a fabulous chat with Jesse which involved that goodbye kiss. Life was great, until I got home that is. "Mom I'm home!" I said as I strode in the door from the beach. "Mom?" I said again. She was usually home on Saturdays. I strode into the kitchen and found a post-it-note on the fridge it read:

Dear Suzie,

Andy and I have gone shopping for some new furniture to replace the broken/damaged items from Brad's party last weekend. David went to his friends house for the evening and we will be picking him up on our way home. Brad is coming with Andy and I as punishment for his lack of responsibility.

She ran out of room on that post-it so she continued on another:

Jake is at work until five. We should be home around seven.

Love,

Mom.

P.s- There is leftover Pizza in the fridge from lunch!

Its nice to know someone cared about me. Anyway, I grabbed a slice of pizza and took it upstairs with me. It was two o' clock, five hours until Paul picked me up so I had plenty of time. When I opened the door he was there. And by he I mean mystery man ghost. He was sitting on the window seat and Spike was hissing at him from my bed. "Uh, hey." I said

"Hey." was all he said in return

"So what's your name anyway?" I asked. Hey, I wanted to know so I could stop calling him mystery man ghost. He just stared at me, with a hurt expression on his face. I was very confused so I gave him this what-did-I-say look. He mumbled something. "What?" I asked highly confused by this point.

"I can't believe you don't remember." he said louder so I could hear.

"Remember...?" Woah... I think this guy was whacked up on Scooby Snacks. "You didn't tell me your name...?"

"I can't believe you forgot." he said in an angry voice his hands curled up into fists. "I never forgot about you after all these years yet you forget ME!" he shouted it this time.

"Woah... what are you talking about dude?" ok he was really starting to scared me. The mirror on the wall started shaking.

"You moved away and I found you and you don't even remember me!!!!" The mirror flew at me so I ducked and dropped the slice of pizza I had been holding. "You" he said pointing a finger at me "will regret that you ever said no! No one says no to me!" I just stood there gaping at him. What the heck was this guy on? Then he dematerialized.
