Chapter 4

Tuesday morning, I reluctantly got up outta' bed, to go to stinking school. I wish it was still Monday, the day I'd had off of school. If only I could live that day over again, and go back to around 12 am, and lay on the couch and watch TV with nothing else better to do. And the bad thing about it, is that Jesse couldn't come over, apparently Father Dom had bought him a lot of paint to fix up the kitchen walls, and the bathroom walls. Father D helped him of course, being the generous man that he is.

I haven't seen his apartment, but I hear it's pretty small, but big enough for 2 people to live in. Hint, hint, 2 PEOPLE, not just one but 2. Maybe someday, in the near future, I'll be able to spend the night or something like that...I wish. Jesse would never go for it. And my mom, probably wouldn't either, but then again, she is so happy that I have a boyfriend now, that, she pretty much lets me do anything I want with Jesse. But nooooo, Jesse just has to get me home on time, he just has to make sure he's at my doorstep at least 30 minutes before my curfew, and he just has to do this, that, and another so perfectly.

Okay, so I usually wouldn't have a problem with this, but when I found out I wasn't going to be seeing him for a whole day, I just kind of flipped out. And I wasn't the only one who flipped out either, Doc did too. He came complaining to me all like, "Suze, I thought you said, Jesse would be coming over today. I want to know if he's started that book yet. It's really good, you should consider reading it too, you know. But honestly where is he?"

I told him, that Jesse had a lot of stuff to do today, but that didn't satisfy David, he went into some big speech about, how he shouldn't promise a person something, and then not live up to that promise. Which I of course, didn't even really know, that Jesse promised David, that he would be over here today, to discuss some stupid facts about that stupid book. That comment, had just made me even more angrier, because, he didn't promise me anything, he only promised it to Doc, he just told me that he might swing through that day. Okay so maybe, he didn't exactly say "Swing through" but, it's the same as, "I will most likely come by your house tomorrow, Susannah, if that's alright with you?"

So anyway, it was Tuesday morning, and I was dreading going to school. I had to talk to Father Dominic about Isyss, little visit the other night. I hadn't seen her since that night, but Jesse called me, and told me she'd visited him numerous times. Of course, she wouldn't visit me, it wasn't like I'd actually talked to her, that night I mean, as much as Jesse did. But hey, it's okay, I can handle not feeling loved by a 5 year old. Oh, my badd, I mean 5 1/2. Gotta add that 1/2 on there, or else Isyss will beat me up...Sike, like that would ever happen.

"Suze, get your Curly Sue looking butt down here now!" Yelled Brad, the stupid surfer dude/wanna be Eminem. And to top it off, he didn't even say butt, he said the a-word actually. "I've leaving in 5 minutes, rather you're ready or not!"

"Don't hold your breath!" I yelled back to him, for being such an idiot. I was practically ready, all I had to do was make a little more adjustments to my hair and makeup. After a good five minutes of finishing up my hair and makeup, I skipped down the stairs. Yep, that's right down the steps, I skipped. I walked into the kitchen, to see Jake about to go into the fridge and grab a juice carton and drink right from it. I wanted some of that orange juice, it being the last carton left, and he was just about to open it up and drink the whole thing. And yes, Jake can definitely drink a whole carton of orange juice in about a couple minutes. Quick thinking, I ran over to him and grabbed that carton out of his hand before it even touched his lips. I downed nearly half of it, okay maybe not half, but enough to satisfy my thirst, while David, Jake, and Brad stared at me in horror. I slowly took it away from my mouth after I took my last swig. I handed it back to Jake who, had apparently returned back to earth. Jake just shrugged his shoulders and took the carton from me, and downed the rest, as if it was nothing. But I tell yah, it took a lot outta me, to down almost half of it, and he did it in a breeze.

"I wanted some of that, you greedy hogs" Brad shouted at me and Jake. Jake and I really didn't care. I could tell Jake didn't care because he'd just let out the biggest burp, of all time, in Brads face. While David and I laughed and walked outside to the car.

I walked into the head office ignoring Sister Ernestine's glare towards my outfit, which wasn't all that bad. I mean I had on all black and red, it's not like it was gang colors...well okay maybe it was gang colors, but, still she didn't have to give me the evil eye. But yet, she still continued to glare at me with pure disgust. And I hadn't even done anything to upset her...yet.

I walked into Father Dom's office. Propped my feet up on his desk when I sat down. Yeah, it may be a little bold, but hey, it was Tuesday afternoon and I'd had a rough day. I started an argument between Kelly and Paul, not on purpose, I might add. We were just talking about what we were gonna' do about shifter lessons, Paul and I, I mean. We'd rescheduled it to Tuesday afternoons, and no longer would Paul be the one telling me things about our shifting abilities, but his grandfather would be in the room too. It just so happened the "whack" game shows come on Tuesday between 4 and 6. I mean, the dude had the whole game show schedule all worked out.

Anyways, back to Paul and Kelly. I hugged Paul, I didn't do it on purpose, it kind of just happened, he kept apologizing about that night when we saved Jesse, and accidentally, but fortunately, bring him back to our world. I couldn't help, but hug him, it was taking everything for him to say sorry that many times. And he looked really sincere with me, for the first, well second time if your can't the dance. So anyways, Kelly found us by my locker and practically threw a fit that was not necessary. She was all like, "Suze, I know you and Paul had a thing for a while. But, I never thought you'd actually considered stealing him from me. You have that hot Latino guy, leave my Paul alone." I think when she said, "My Paul" was when Paul got mad. I don't think he's quite fond of being claimed as if he's and item or an animal. That was when Paul threw his head back in disgust and kind of sighed while rolling his eyes, appalled at Kelly's outburst, and the last remark that she'd yelled. I mean come on, he looked like he was just now figuring out, how much of a witch, Kelly Prescott really was, I could have told him that.

Being the nice person that I am, I tried to explain to Kelly that it was an innocent friendship hug. But I will admit, Paul did hold on to me a little bit longer than he needed to.

"Yah know what, screw it. Kelly I wasn't flirting with your precious little Paul" I mocked her, oh so devilishly. "It was a nice little hug. My God, Kelly give Paul and ME a break." That was what I'd told her in the hall, earlier that day. Finally she gave in and said, okay, sorry Suze, sorry Paul, and all that jazz. But the little whore, said my name as nasty as she could, and said Paul's name as sweet as she could, which, by the way might I add, did not have the slightest effect on Paul.

Paul, being the guy that he is, actually took Kelly's hand in his, PRETENDING, to be all goody goody with her. We started to go our separate ways, then Paul turned around and said, " So, I'll see you after school right Suze? Don't be last this time, 4:00 on the dot, at my house, in my bedroom, alright? Is that good?" I glared at him with my mouth gaped open. I couldn't believe he'd said that. And after having to hear Kelly go on and on about her stupid accusations of what me and Paul, were supposedly up to. Now she'll probably go and tell her little side kick, Debbie, that I went over Paul's house everyday, at 4:00 o'clock, to meet in his bedroom, and do the nasty. Why do Paul always try to start something. I walked off as quickly as possible before I was able to hear Kelly shout something at Paul.

So anyways, I was in Father D's office and he seemed quite busy. I don't even think he noticed I was even in there. So I kicked my feet up in the air, and landed them ever so gently on his desk. Which caused him to glance up at me. It was about time too, I may like ignoring people, but I do not like being ignored. He looked at my shoes for a minute, I'm guessing he was admiring my knew black and red air forces. I know he hated my black and red, high heeled timberlands, so I chose my black and red air forces this morning, just to please him, and I guess I wasn't doing a pretty job at that either. Pleasing him with my shoes I mean.

"Well Susannah, it is a pleasure to see you here. I'd been meaning to call you down, to have a word with you. But will you remove your-" He looked down at my air forces for a minute, and then continued, " Air Force One's, I believe, from my desk?"

He actually said the whole name brand. I've heard people say, "forces", "air forces" or "ones" but never have I heard someone say the whole name, well at least not in a long time, that is.

Reluctantly I removed my feet. Did he not like my black and red forces either, that went quite nicely with my black dickies jaw sting pants, and my red top, and black and red jean jacket, to go with it. Oh, and my red belt, with, SUZE, on it, went quite well with it too.

"So, Jesse already told you?" I asked him, matterfactly. I mean, no sense in wasting time, that could be put to some good use right about now.

" Yes, he called me early this morning, and told me about your late night visit. And once we get done discussing this, we will also discuss, why he was over there so late Susannah, I know very well your mother would not approve of that?" He said, getting completely off the subject. " But for now, we will focus on young Isyss. Jesse also told me he heard you, praying in the bathroom, later that night?" He said, like he was so proud of me that I'd actually prayed.

And My GOD, how did he know I was even in the bathroom, late at night, did Jesse tell him every single detail that went on that night when we'd found Isyss and gold locks up in my room, messing up my bed, that was already made. I mean the part about me going into the bathroom, was not important. What was Jesse trying to do, let the whole world know that I had been crying. Okay normally, I wouldn't be saying all these mean things about, the love of my life, but to tell the truth, I was still mad that he'd hadn't come over yesterday. Of course, he had a lame excuse, well, it was lame to me, but he'd also added, " we have our whole life to look forward to Susannah, and a mere 24 hours will not change a thing" So I'd quickly gotten over it, but, not really over it, I still was kind of bummed out about it. But anyway...okay Father Dominic's talking, maybe I should tune in, he was looking a bit frustrated.

"Susannah!" He snapped at me, causing me to stir out of my thoughts. " I believe, Jesse said the girl, Isyss, has a brother who attends here, by the name of Timothy Mendes? But, the strange thing is, I cannot find a Timothy Mendes in this year book. Are you and Jesse, positive, this girl, said her brother's name was Timothy Mendes? Could it have been something, similar to that? Maybe you two heard her wrong, or maybe she really doesn't even know what school he attends. She is 5, am I correct?"

" Yes, Father Dom, we're sure his name is Timothy Mendes. And I've never heard of him either. I mean, it sounds kind of familiar but, I can't place his name with a face. And, no she isn't 5, she's 5 1/2." I told him. Isyss would have been so proud of me right now, adding the "half" on to her five.

We went though the year book together and finally we went back a couple years. I got out the year book that Jake was in. AHA! I was right after all. There was a Timothy Mendes, in the year book, it seems as if he must of graduated already. But, then again, Isyss said Timothy still went here. Did he go to the mission before Isyss died? Is that why she thinks he still attends here? And if so exactly when did this girl actually die? She'd said she had found out she was dead a while ago. How long ago did she even find out she was dead?

Okay this getting really confusing. That's what happens when all you have to work with is a five year old, "Olivia, look a like"

Isyss said her brother Timothy went to this school. But he had to go here when she was still alive. But she died while he still went here. Which means she's been dead for at least 1 year. He had to have graduated when Jake did. And Jake graduated in late May, like 7 months ago. Isyss passed away while he was a senior, in the beginning, or middle of his last year in high school. I read the quote under his senior picture which read: "Cowards die many times before their death"- Caesar. I skipped over his goal in life, and just went back to his picture. He looked just like his sister. The dark hair, the dark eyes, the tan skin color. His hair was black and shaggy. It complimented his tan skin. His smile was big. Either his parents paid big bucks for that smile, or he was naturally born with such a brilliant smile.

But what about their sister. Jenny, was her name. Jennifer, that must have been her real name. I quickly got out of my comfortable sitting position and, grabbed the year book, that was sitting on Father D's desk, the year book, that was being released for this year. Flipping through the Junior section, I found no Jennifer Mendes, I didn't find the girl in the Sophomore and Freshmen sections either. I flipped over to the senior section.

JENNIFER MENDES, Got Cha!

Jennifer Mendes, senior.

Favorite quote: Only GOD can judge me-Tupac, If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live-Martin Luther King Jr.

Goal in Life: Find the man who murdered my sister.

"Find the man who murdered my sister." I mumbled to myself. Whoa, that was...interesting. Why would she be so blunt in a year book. And why would the year book staff, or whoever they are, publish this, knowing that she'd said something so...explicit.

"Hey Father D, I found Isyss' sister." I said, in a voice barely above a whisper. I showed Father Dom the year book picture of Jennifer Mendes. A pretty girl with a great natural tan complexion, beautiful long dark wavy hair, with a beautiful smile plastered on her face. Her eyes, were dark, just like Isyss's eyes. But Jennifer looked as if she could be a little...sinister? Yeah that was it, she looked kind of sinister. Her smile was different. It was full of, sadness, bitterness, envy, her smile had no life. It was like someone had just slapped it on her face, without any emotion to go with it. And, even though it was just a senior picture of her, her eyes were still full of hate, it creeped me out knowing that such a beautiful young girl could be filled with so much hate at the same time.

"Find the man who murdered my sister" Father Dominic mumbled to himself, while looking at Jennifer's photo." Good Heavens, who would have this year book published when they knew this, Jennifer Mendes, said such a thing."

"Um...freedom of speech maybe..." Yeah, I know it was a dumb remark, but it was true right?

"Susannah, maybe you should get back to your 5th period class." Father D said, not paying the least bit attention to what I'd said about the whole Freedom of Speech thing.

Darnnit, I thought I was going to be able to skip that hour, since I do have it with Brad. And he is my ASSIGNED partner for some stupid project due this Friday. And I already know, I'll be stuck doing all the work, since if I let him do a lot, he'll do nothing but screw it up. And, Ms. Gaskin knows for a fact, that I would have worked with anyone besides Brad. I swear she is out to get me.

"Susannah, did you even hear a word I said?" Father Dom, said, taking me away from my thoughts.

"Um...yeah, go back to class right?" I said, hoping I was right.

"Yes, Susannah, go back to class, and see if you can find some more information about Isyss family, and report back to me tomorrow. And, would you stop by Jesse's apartment after school, and give this to him." He said, looking up at me, with a serious expression. And handing me some bag full of books, that were way to big and way to heavy.

"Fine." I said, as if I wasn't happy that I had an excuse to go over to Jesse's apartment, something that Father Dom had forbid me to do. Something that he said would lead to nothing but, something I'd regret, later on. And to tell the truth I don't think, having a make out session with my one true love would be something I'll be regretting anytime soon. But I guess, Father D, saw through that little innocent act I was playing.

" Oh and Susannah, don't stay for longer than what you need to. I've had this discussion with you before, and I don't think I have to go over it again with you do I?" He said, with his eyes begging me to say no he didn't need to go over the fact that I shouldn't use my feminine ways to lure Jesse into my little traps, which is tricking him into making out with me, for a very long time, I might add.

"Sure, Father Dom, whatever you say." I replied with a fake smile on my face.

" I'm serious Susannah, I don't think-" Father D, was about to say, but nope, I cut him off, I had to cut him off.

" Okayyyyy Father D, I'll drop off these books, and have a little chit chat, and I'll be on my way back home, okay?" Okay so maybe I wasn't really telling the truth, since I knew I would be staying there a little longer, since I was going to'' tell Jesse about the Shifter Lessons, that Paul's GRANDFATHER, would be giving us. And, I actually wasn't going to be on my way home after I left Jesse's house either, I would be on my way to Paul's house. But, I don't think Father D needed to know all that.

I left Father Dominic's office and ran into, Sister Ernestine, who gave me a little nasty look for accidentally bumping my head into hers, apparently she was on her way into Father Dom's office. I quickly walked past her, so she wouldn't have any reason to yell at me, and walked right out the main office. And headed back to my stupid 5th hour class.

After, school was out, and Brad drove David and me home, I quickly went into the kitchen and grabbed an orange, I hurried up and pealed it with my fingers, grabbed a paper towel, and head back to the car before Brad even had a chance to ask me where I was going. I just told him I'd be back before dinner, and I'd have the car back in time for him to go on a date with Debbie, apparently she'd gotten over the flu, also known as "have a make out session in the back of the movie theatre."

When I'd made it over to Jesse's apartment, which wasn't that far from us, maybe about a 13 minute drive or something like that, his vehicle was parked in the front of a red bricked apartment complex. It had a playground and a swimming pool, and there were a couple of kids standing on the side of the building just, posted up on the brick wall as if they were "cool" or something. They were mostly young boys, about my age. One was eyeing me as I got out of the car. I kind of stared at him for a little minute, okay maybe I glared at him, but...o well, I had to make let him know that he did not intimidate me. With his baggy pants and, the way his head was kind of tilted up and how he was looking me up and down. I guess he was supposed to be the leader of the group or something. They reminded me of Brad and his friends, like how they post up against their lockers every morning checking out the girls who walk down the halls.

As I made my way up closer to the building, the "leader" of the group tried to "holla" at me, but I just kept walking towards the entrance. When he knew I wasn't going to have anything to do with him, he just walked away from me, and went back over to where his friends were. I opened the front doors slowly so I could hear what they were going to say to him. I heard something like, " Awww man you just got dissed. She was a fine honey too" The names, these guys come up for girls nowadays are just crazy. I mean, exactly what is a "fine honey" What's wrong with saying, girl, or young lady, or something like that. I was still contemplating on all the names guys give girls when I came to Jesse's door. 22B, the 5 floor, probably so he could watch the sun rise and set on the ocean.

"Querida!" Jesse sure was shocked to see me, as he opened the door in only a pair of jeans and t-shirt that had a cross on it. I knew right off the bat, that Father Dominic had probably bought him that shirt. It was a nice shirt, at the bottom it said, Got Jesus?." I was just on my way to see you, I just called your house, but Bradley said you'd left, and, here you are" He said with one of his gorgeous smiles on his face.

" Here I am!" I replied back to him, with one of my prettiest smiles...well I thought it was an okay smile, it was the best I had actually. The kind of smile where I tilt my head a little, yep, that's the one. I quickly straightened up, and talked in a very business way. About to do exactly what Father D had told me to. " Well Jesse" I was holding the bag of books out in front of him, all the while him looking at me as if to ask, " why aren't you coming in Susannah." Welp, I had to obey the good priest, right? "I was told to give you these books, have nice little chit chat with you, and not to come into your apartment and tempt you with my feminine ways, whatever that is, and then be on my way." I said to him, while he was looking at me as if I'd lost my mind.

"Whatever" Jesse said, using the word that I always use, and lifting one of his eyebrows too. He took the bag of books and tossed them on the floor in a near by corner. Jesse dragged me into his apartment by my shoulders with a nice smile on his face. Yeah, yeah, I was disobeying Father Dom, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him right? We'd started kissing so passionately, when I'd heard the voice of a little 5 year old, I mean 5 and a half year old. She started giggling too. I didn't know 5 1/2 year olds could ruin such a great moment like what Jesse and I were having right then and there. Darn that little "olivia look alike!"

"Ewwwww!" I heard a little voice say, recognizing it to be Isyss voice. Crap, right when I was about to have a good ole' fashion time with Jesse. Darn that little 5 and a half year old girl.

Jesse quickly stood up, and greeted Isyss, as if she'd seen nothing. As I sat up on his plastic covered couch, and fixed my hair up a little since I knew it had to be everywhere, since...well you know. I looked at the little girl, who couldn't stop giggling. And I couldn't help but notice that she'd brought her little friend along with her. Yep, that's right, goldy locks was back.

"My mommy said that, my brother girlfriend was a slug because she caught them doing the same thing you guys were doing. My mommy never liked her and when her and brother was never together anymore, she would always say things like, thank GOD the slug is gone." Goldy locks said, with a sly grin on her face. I simply rolled my eyes and smiled to myself. Jesse was looking at her with one eyebrow raised, probably, surprised that a mother would talk about another person so badly in front of their child.

I thought it was quite funny because she kept saying "slug" when she really mean "slut." Either she was just pronouncing the word wrong, or her mother was talking in code because her daughter was around.

"My mommy also said, she was a shooker because she always dressed half naked" Goldy locks said again, while Isyss was just now gaining control over her giggling.

I seriously though it was funny that, this girls mom was using code names like this. Like, shooker, I'm guessing, was really supposed to be hooker. I didn't comment on it though because I kind of thought they were calling me a slut without even really knowing it. Since our actions did remind goldly locks of her brother and his "slug." Hmm...I wonder.

Isyss was the one to break the uncomfortable silence after she was done giggling. "Did you find my brotha' " She asked Jesse.

"Querida?" Jesse turned to me, since he didn't know the answer.

"Um, Isyss, do you know how long it's been, since, well you know." I asked her.

"Really long." She replied, but I was going to need a better answer than that.

"Yeah, I know that, but exactly how long, do you know?" I asked her again, hoping for a better answer than her first.

"Eight months." Said, Goldy locks, who I think name was Tanya, or something like that.

"Why are you so sure?" I asked her suspiciously. How could a 6 year old, know it was eight months exactly. She ducked her head and looked towards her feet, instead of looking me in the eyes. I looked over at Jesse who was studying her as much as I was. "I just know." Was all she said.

"Alright...Isyss I didn't find your brother, but I did find your sister. She might be able to help us. Her name is Jennifer Mendes, right?" I asked her. Jesse was paying close attention to me too, since this was the first time he'd heard this information too.

"You found Jenny?" Isyss exclaimed. "Jenny will get Timmy, and then he can help you with...hey, what are you going to do anyway?"

"We're going to find the man, who caused you to live in this half life, Isyss." Jesse explained to Isyss, who had a confused look on her face. "What I mean is we're going to find the man who killed you." Although I could tell it hurted him to say it like that, but it was the only way she could really understand him.

"You can't find him." She simply said, with a sad look on her face. She then dematerialized and left, Jesse, Tanya and I standing there shocked at how quickly her mood changed from happy to sad and then dematerializing all of a sudden.

Goldy locks was shaking her head now, as if disappointed about something. " Isyss is right, you can't find him, you WON'T find him." Tanya walked over to a chair that was also covered with plastic, and sat down on it, her feet propped up on the chair with her chin on her knees. She hugged legs and it seemed as if she was about to reveal something very important to us.

"Isyss doesn't know it, but, I was there, when he killed her. I was alive too. My daddy worked for her daddy, I saw what happened. I wasn't supposed to be in the room, but I was." She told us.

"Your father, took you to, whatever it was that he did for a job, and let you watch, whoever it was, kill Isyss?" Jesse asked her, with a shocked look on his face.

"I told you! I wasn't supposed to be in there, my daddy thought I was in the room next door, where he'd told me to wait, he wouldn't ever take me in the other room, and that always made me mad." She told Jesse, looking annoyed at how he would think her daddy would take her in that room.

"So, you had to wait in that room a lot, while your daddy was in a different room, doing something?" I asked her, trying to make some sense of this. Why didn't she tell us in the beginning that she witnessed Isyss killing. Kids!

"Yep, but one day, I wanted to know what was going on, because I heard my daddy's voice, he was yelling, telling someone not to do something. So I crawled out of the room, so the lady who was in there with me, wouldn't see me. She didn't see me because she was listening to music and reading. I got outta' there and went to the room I knew my daddy was in, the door was closed, so I cracked it open. The room was scary, it was really big, There wasn't windows in there, and there were a lot of men in there and only like 3 ladies. Then that was when I saw it happen. Isyss was sitting in a chair crying, with a lady behind her with her hands on her shoulder trying to make her stop crying, and a man was yelling about something, holding the gun to my daddy's head. My daddy and the big man, started fighting, then I heard the gun go off two times. I looked over at Isyss and she was crying with her hands on her stomach." Tanya said, with her hand on her chest, indicating where Isyss hands were. "My daddy and the other man stopped fighting and looked at Isyss. The lady now had her hands on Isyss stomach, it looked like she was pressing down on her stomach really hard. She took off a long thing, I think it was a scarf, that was on her head, and put it on Isyss stomach, when she took it off her stomach, and kind of' folded it, to put it on the other side, it was red. I guess it was Isyss' blood."

Tanya didn't continue, I was guessing that was all she was going to tell us. I was now walking over to her, to where she was seated but she looked up and mumbled something. She then dematerialized and left Jesse and I stunned.
