Hey! I decided to try the next chapter. Some people haven't read Twilight so they might know what I'm talking about. Thanx Ginny Weasley's Double for reviewing. I still don't know if I'll finish it, but I had a last moment inspiration. If no one reviews, then I dont' know what to do due to this dang writer's blockish stuff. urrrr.......

Chapter 2 Feel Better Soon

When my mom was trying to get me up for school the next day, I told her that I didn't feel too well. She wasn't buying it. But really I wasn't. And to prove this, I went into the bathroom and threw up. She let me stay home. Puking all day is not how I imagined my day off, mourning my loss, would be like. My mom wanted to go into work, so I told her that I'd be fine here on my own. I am sixteen. And I only threw up 3 times all day. Andy popped in once or twice durring his breaks at work. He made me some chicken soup and brought me a magazine from my mom's bathroom. How sweet. I didn't cry as much as I thought that I would. But, on the other hand, I had tons more on my mind than Jesse.

Father Dom called once to ask why I wasn't in school. He sounded rushed and like he was hiding something from me, but asked why I was gone and when I was coming back. I told him, I was throwing up, and that I thought that I'd be back tomorrow or the day after. He seemed pleased with this answer so I hung up and took another nap.

I was walking through an unfamiliar graveyard when I heard a few voices calling my name. Susannah! Susannah! Suze!, they called. All of the voices sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place them. I was just getting to figure them out, when I saw Jesse. Susannah! I heard it again! Where was it coming from? I realized that it was Jesse calling my name. I tried to run to him, but I was stuck by a force so cold, so binding. Susannah! Don't come near him! It's a trap! Father Dominic. I recognized that voice. I knew that voice! But how could I go to him if I was stuck in this cold force. It was like being trapped inside of Paul's eyes. Paul! That was it!

And at that time, I was shaken awake by Andy. "Phone's for you Suze. Are you ok? You were shaking and pale when I came in here. Are you feeling any better? Oh. Yes. The phone. It's Father Dominic. He said something about sending homework for you. If you want, I can tell him that you're not up now. Do you want me to?"

"No. Thanks. I'll be down in a minute." When I got downstairs, Father D.'s voice rushed at me so quickly I couldn't quite catch what he said

"Will you say that again please Father? I didn't catch a word of that."

"Ok. Well. There was a new student at school today. I was going to have you show him around, but you weren't here. Are you feeling better?"

"Um. Yes. When did this "new student" that you're so excited about show up? This morning? I thought maybe that you sounded different..." I finished.

"Oh. Then. Yes. He had shown up just a few minutes prior to that. I wasn't quite sure of him, but, now I think that he needs to talk to you. A lot. He says that your name doesn't ring a bell, but I think that you will recognize him."

"I should be back in school tomorrow. My mom says that I probably caught the twenty-four-hour flu. It's been going around the office and she said that she must have brought it home to me."

"I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Ok, Susannah?"

"Yes. See ya tomorrow," I said as I thought, wonder who the new kid is and why Father D. is so anxious for me to meet him?

ok. I think that must cover it. Sorry if it sucks. I still havent' a clue what is going to happen. But I think that next chapter, if I get it done, I dont' know if I will, someone will make an apperance. I don't know what to do about Paul. I'm not a Paul person. if anyone has suggestions, I'd like to know!!

luv
