Wow, lol I knew you guys would be mad at me for that cliffy... lol but I love you guys anyway :) hehe. Ok ill stop blabbing and start writing.
As he ghost boy was standing over me with that knife, talking to me, I was thinking about Jesse. Jesse I need you now more than ever, I thought to myself. "Say good-night Emily" ghost boy said. I look over at the window seat because Jesse had just materialized there.
"Susannah what is..." was all he got to say before I turned and looked at ghost boy, he had plunged the knife down. I tried to move out of the way because the knife was aiming straight for my neck. Well, the knife didn't go straight through my neck as he was hoping to do. Nope, instead it went straight through my shoulder. Yeah and let me tell you, that hurt. I couldn't even scream because it hurt so much. Tears were pouring down my face and blood was streaming down my arm. "No!!!!!!" Jesse shouted as ghost boy pulled the knife out of my shoulder and was about to stab me again. Jesse tackled ghost boy I heard a lot of fumbling around but I couldn't move at all to see what was happening, yeah it hurt that bad. Jesse appeared at my side about two minutes later holding the knife. I expected that ghost boy had dematerialized. He dropped the blood stained knife, scooped me up and whispered "Querida." I saw tears fall down his cheeks. "What has he done to you?" He got out that handkerchief he had used on me so many times and started to tie it around my shoulder. I started to feel weak and dizzy. I supposed it was from blood loss. "This is all my fault." he whispered " I should never have left you here by yourself." His voice was shaking as he was struggling to hold back the tears. I didn't say anything, I was in shock. It was true though that Jesse was crying. He was crying because I was hurt. He wasn't like, sobbing but it was like one of those cute romantic movie type of cry's. You know, like when the love of some guy's life is about to die or something. Well that can't be good. Did he think I was going to die? I felt a shooting pain go down my arm. Well, if I'm going to die I better tell him how I feel now.
"Jesse..." I whispered then I passed out.
I opened my eyes and found myself in some strange place. I started to sit up and immediately regretted my decision. I felt stabs of pain go up my arm. I said a swear word under my breath then I heard David say "She's awake! Hey everybody she's awake!"He got out of the chair he was sitting in and said "Suze are you alright?" in that little voice of his.
"I-I'm fine" I said. "Where am I?"
"Your in the hospital of course." he said. I looked around the room. I was still scared to look at the arm that was bleeding so rapidly when I was last conscious. I looked over at it. It was wrapped up quite nicely I might say. Except I almost puked when I saw what was in my vein. They hooked up one of those baggy's with the blood in them that they collect at blood drives and such. Um, gross. David must have noticed what I was looking at and he said "Isn't it cool? They put that on because you lost so much blood." Yeah, cool wasn't the word I was looking for. "Anyway," he said and looked behind him to make sure no one was there "I talked to Jesse." he whispered to me.
"You-You what?" Woah, when did this happen?
"He brought you in my room when I was sleeping, only I couldn't see him so you were just, floating there and this voice in my head said 'There is not much time, you need to get her to a hospital. Tell your parents that a robber broke in and stabbed Susannah.' So that's what I told them." he said and now you're here, except you have been asleep for a week.
"A week?" woah ok, this was too much to take in. I got stabbed by a ghost, David talked to Jesse, and I have been asleep for a week.
"Suze I want to know what really happened." He said to me. "You and I both know that a robber didn't do this to you."
"David..." I started to say but then my mom, Andy, Jake, and Brad all came into the room.
"Susie thank God your alright!" She hugged me so tight I thought I would die until I managed to say
"Mom, my arm, your crushing it." Then she pulled away. She had tears filling up her eyes. I looked at David who mouthed to me 'tell me later'. My mom was sitting on my bed kissing my forehead in that whole motherly way. Andy gave me a box of chocolates. He really is a sweet guy. Ha-ha, get it, sweet. Ok I'll shut up now. Jake and Brad pretty much just stood there the whole time. Everyone stayed with me for about an hour trying to get me to tell them what the robber looked like but I said I "couldn't remember". When visiting hours were over a nurse came and shooed them all out and took that nasty blood bag out of my arm. I tried to sleep again after she left because my arm was pounding only I didn't because Jesse materialized next to the bed.
"Querida, Dé gracias a Dios your awake!" my heart beat sped up when he said that, and I didn't even know what it meant. He picked me up and spun my around, carefully of course because of the whole arm thing. And then he kissed me. On the lips. It lasted for about three minutes too. When we finally broke apart he put me back down on the bed.
"Jesse..." I said " I wanted to thank you for helping me that night. If it wasn't for you I would be a goner."
"Well Susannah, you did call me." he said.
"What...? I didn't actually call for you, I thought of you."
"It doesn't matter if you call for me out loud or think of me. When my Querida is in trouble I'll be there." Oh my God, he called me his Querida! I thought I would melt.
"You still have a lot of explaining to do, Querida, but you don't have to tell me now. You need your rest." he brushed a lock of hair out of my face and then kissed my forehead. "I will stay here and watch you while you sleep incase he comes back." I know who he meant by when he said he. I didn't protest either because I really was scared to death of ghost boy now. I looked over at Jesse sitting on the chair watching me, and then I fell asleep.
