Chapter 4
Suze's POV
"Get the hell away from me, Paul," I hissed.
Drake, who was sitting next to me, looked at Paul and said, "Who are you?"
Paul just glanced at him and said, "Paul Slater. And you are?"
"Drake Black, and I'm Suze's boyfriend," Drake said.
At the words 'I'm Suze's boyfriend' Paul's face was completely priceless. I had to hold back my laughter. Then after a moment, Paul smirked and said, "Boyfriend? Does De Silva know that you're taken, Suze?"
Damnit!! Leave it to Paul to bring up Jesse.
"None of your business, Paul," I said acidly, ignoring the urge to rip off his head.
See?! Only Paul can make me want to rip off someone's head. He really brings out the bad side of me.
"Now please leave me alone," I said to Paul.
"What if I don't want to?" Paul said stubbornly. "What if I want to stay here and talk to you? Who's gonna make me leave?"
Leave it to Paul I'm-going-to-ruin-your-whole-life Slater to ruin MY whole day.
"I am," Drake said.
YAY!! My knight in shining armor!
"Really?" Paul said, looking back at Drake.
God, Paul is so stupid!! Didn't he just hear Drake say he was going to make him leave?? Seriously. Paul is such a moron.
"Yeah."
"I'd like to see you try," Paul said.
So would I!! So would I!! Suze wants to see Drake beat Paul into a bloody pulp!! Doesn't anyone care that I want to see??!!
When Paul said that Drake stood up. I knew this was my cue to stop the fight. I really did want to see Paul get beat up by Drake, but I didn't want to get in trouble on my first day back in Carmel.
"Paul, leave now. Drake sit back down," I said in my tough listen-to-me-or-you-will-face-my-wrath voice.
"Like I said, what if I don't want to leave?" Paul said.
ARGH!!! WILL SOMEBODY SHOOT THIS GUY??!!??! Wait-on second thought just give me the damn gun so I can shoot him myself!
"PAUL LEAVE NOW!!!" I said VERY annoyed.
I guess I'm not losing my touch, since Paul just shrugged and said, "Whatever, Simon," and walked out of the Coffee Clutch.
Drake sat back down.
"Whoa. That was some show," Adam said. "Who was that De Silva guy Paul was talking about, Suze?"
"Oh, he was just some guy who I went out with when I was younger. He and Paul never got along because Paul was trying to pick fights with him over me," I said as calmly as I could.
"Oh," Drake said.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend with the last name De Silva before," Adam said.
"De Silva? Hmm... Suze I think I remember you telling me something before, or I heard something about him....Oh! Now I remember his na-" Cee Cee started and then turned pale.
Oh god. She remembers about Jesse too.
Cee Cee's eyes widened and I mouthed to her, I'll tell you later.
"What was his name Cee?" Adam asked.
"What? His name? Oh darn it! I just forgot it," Cee Cee said.
I tell you this: Cee Cee Webb is the awesomest (A/N: is awesomest even a word??!!) person ever!
Me, Cee, Adam, and Drake all talked to each other until I said, "Well guys, it's been great but its getting real late and I just got in Carmel today so we need to unpack. But I'll see you guys at the reunion tomorrow."
"Nice meeting ya'll," Drake said politely. Then he got up and followed me out of the Coffee Clutch.
While we were walking back to my house Drake said, "So what's with that Paul guy?"
"I dunno. When I was in high school he was always trying to steal me from my boyfriend. Like one time I went over to Paul's house, to get some information from him I needed, he atarted trying to make out with me. And when I finally managed to get away from him, he tried to stop me from leaving his house, and then later on in the week he rubbed it in my boyfriends face, then they got into a big fight," I said.
"Did he break up with you then?"
"No, he didn't. We stayed together until I graduated, then we split."
"Why'd you split up? Was the dude like cheating on you or something??"
"Naw, he would never cheat on me. We broke up because it would've never worked out."
"Darn. That must've sucked."
"Yeah it did."
I remember that day now, the day that me and Jesse split up.
Flashback
I was just hanging out with Cee Cee on the last day of school, we were at the beach enjoying our last day of high school.
"So what are you gonna do with your life, Suze?" Cee Cee asked me.
"Cee Cee must you question me on my future life ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL??!!" I said, annoyed.
"Oh. Sorry Suze," Cee Cee said.
"We better go now, or we'll all be late for graduation!" I said suddenly, remembering about graduation.
Me, and Cee Cee both got up and grabbed our towels and ran up to the nearest store. We went into some store and went to the pay phone. We called Adam and he came and picked us up then dropped us off at my house.
I put some makeup on Cee, and put some on me, then we did our hair. Then we put on our amazing dresses and finally were ready.
Mom and Andy took me, Cee Cee, and Dopey to our graduation.
Graduation was a blur. It all happened so fast. We all went to a big party after. It was so much fun. It was all great until I came home around 3 AM.
I went upstairs to my room, and found it empty. Really, really empty. As in ghosts and live people were no where in sight. Where was Jesse??!!
Jesse didn't show up all night. I fell asleep and woke up in the morning and saw a note by the window.
Susannah,
Congratulations! I'm happy about your graduation. You will do good in your future I know it. You are a strong person and will be very successful in what you choose to do. I'm sorry, but I have been thinking, and we cannot be together. I am a ghost and you are a alive human. We could never be together now. I'm terribly sorry, but I think it's better this way.
Love
Jesse
I don't remember much after that because then I busted into tears.
End of flashback
"Suze? Earth to Susannah Simon!!" I heard Drake say, his voice bringing my back to reality.
"What?" I asked.
"You just looked a little out of it. Like you were somewhere else for awhile. Hey! Look there's a sunset!"
"Yeah, its awesome," I said awed. Then guess what? I tripped over something.
That's how good Suze Simon's luck is, everyone.
I was about to fall flat on my face, when Drake grabbed me, and his arms were holding me.
"That was some trip. Try walking," Drake said, slowly moving his arms away from me.
I took one step forward and felt a sharp pain in my ankle. "OW!" I said, falling forward again.
My god. Am I destined to be on the ground??!
Lucklily Drake's arms held me up once again, and stopped me from falling on my face.
"Since you can't walk, I am going to carry you," Drake said, and picked me up and started walking toward my house.
I liked being in Drake's arms. It felt so good to know someone who wasn't related to me actually cared for me, Susannah Simon.
So when we got into my house, Drake put me on the couch in the living room.
"Is this ok, or do you want me to take you to your room?" Drake asked standing over me.
"This is ok," I said, as my mom came into the living room.
"Suze you're back. Oh my, what happened?" Mom asked worryingly.
How did she know I was hurt when she didn't even know what happened???
Does mom have psychic powers or something???!!!
"She tripped and hurt her ankle," Drake said.
"Oh my. Let me go get some ice," mom said, then walked out of the room.
"I'm gonna go get the bags from the car ok? You alright?" Drake asked.
"Yeah, jolly. Go on and get the bags, do not worry about the little helpless girl right here," I said.
"Helpless? You? Yeah right! That's something I'd like to see: Suze Simon helpless," Drake said laughing.
"Yeah, yeah."
Drake left, and I closed my eyes. It was so quiet.
"Susannah?"
WHAT THE HELL???!!!
OH MY GOD!!!
JESSE!!!
I opened my eyes quickly and saw Jesse standing over me.
I didn't say anything, me and Jesse just looked at each other in this awkward silence.
Jesse didn't change a bit over 2 years. (A/N: Well duh! he's a ghost! Of course he won't change!! Get it?? G-H-O-S-T!! As in DEAD person!! My god Sydney ruin the whole moment why don't you?? sees girls start crying because Jesse's a ghost oh just ignore me, everyone sighs) He still had his knee high black boots, with those incredibly tight-fitting pants, (A/N: Just wondering but, don't only GAY guys wear tight pants?? Oh god, what if Jesse's gay!! What if he's two timing Suze with PAUL??!! OH MY GOD!!! gasps PAUL and JESSE??!! ewww!!) and his big white shirt that showed revealed his chest and part of his totally buff abs. His black hair was still the same, and so was his perfect face. Even the chalk-white scar in his eyebrow was still there. (A/N: Oh my god. That's really creepy. Jesse has a white scar in his eyebrow from and dogbite, and I have a white scar in my eyebrow from having a dog push me over or something and I hit the edge of a coffee table. That's creepy. But Jesse doesn't seem to mind having a scar, but I think it can be annoying sometimes because one time my friend asked me 'were you in a shaving accident or something?" because you can see the scar threw my eyebrow. But again: Ignore me) Jesse hadn't changed a bit.
Nope. he was still Hector "Jesse" de Silva, the hot ninteenth century that used to haunt my room.
"Suze, here's your ice. Put it on your ankle to get away some of the pain," my mom said, walking back into the room.
"Hey, Suze, where do you want me to put the bags?" Drake asked, walking in carrying my bags.
"Just put them over there by the door," my mom said, answering for me. "Let me help you with the rest of the bags, Drake."
"Ok," Drake said.
And then they were outside, and I was all alone.
With Jesse.
"Susannah, what happened to your ankle?" Jesse asked.
"Oh, I tripped," I said, as I held the ice to my ankle since it kept falling if I didn't hold it there.
"Let me help you," Jesse said, bending down and put his hand over mine to keep the ice still. He moved my hand away, then held the ice there, at my ankle. "You should take off your shoe, so that the ice will stay on better."
"Yeah," I said, reaching for the little zipper on my boot.
"Let me get it," Jesse said, then pulled down on the little zipper and gently took off my boot. "Looks like you sprain your ankle."
"Um, well that explains why I can't walk on it," I said.
"Does this hurt a lot?" Jesse asked, while he poked my ankle lightly.
"Just a little," I said.
Jesse started massaging my ankle.
JESSE STARTED MASSAGING MY ANKLE!!!!!
Why does it feel so hot in here??
Why is it so hot?? Doesn't mom know that there's such thing as a AIR CONDITIONER??!!
MAN, ITS SO HOT IN HERE!!
Ugh, I think I'm going to burn to death.
WAIT- I have ice on my ankle. Ice is COLD.
So shouldn't I be feeling cooler??
Oh god.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NOO!!!!
I love Drake, not Jesse. I love Drake, not Jesse. I love Drake, not Jesse. I love Jesse, not Drake. NOO!! THAT WAS A MISTAKE!! I LOVE DRAKE BLACK, NOT JESSE DE SILVA!!!
God, I can't be feeling these emotions all over again.
No, I can't.
These feelings were locked up in a closet. They were buried underground. They were thrown out like the Friday morning trash.
I can't be feeling this.
"Susannah I-" Jesse started to say, but was interrupted by Drake coming in with more bags.
"Well all of the bags are out of the car now," Drake said.
Jesse dematerialized.
Good thing he did, too. Because something might've happened like me and Jesse started kissing or something. Or he told me he loved me.
OH MY GOD!!
What if that was what he was gonna say??!!
Oh my god! Whoa, that would be a shocker.
But, the real question is: do I really want Jesse to say that??
A/N: Well there ya go. Sorry if it seems patheic or something. sighs tell me if i truly suck, or i am a sorta good writer. R&R!! :)
