Chapter 12- Truth's Revealed (part II)

(Third Person POV)

"Everything's white," Thought Suze sleepily, "And it smells like-". Her eyes fluttered open. She sat bolt upright, noticing that she was in a hospital. "How did I get here?" She thought as doctors and nurses came running in.

"How could I do that?!" Thought Jesse angrily, "I am so stupid." He closed his eyes to the thought of hurting Susannah the way that he did. "She never deserved that. I kissed what's-her-name to try and make Suze jealous, but instead she goes into a coma." He thought as a tear slid down his face.

"How could Suze do this to me?!" Thought Tad, "She missed my party! I throw a party for her and she blacks out!" He shook is head in disgust. "The good thing was that I met Kelly- now she's a keeper! She's hotter than Suze and she'd never black out right before a party held by me!" He thought, dialing the number of the hospital to check if Suze was awake yet, "She doesn't deserve me!"

"Poor Suze!" Thought Paul for the thousandth time that hour, "I wonder what happened ". He got up and walked out of his house and into his car. "I have to do something. I can't think about possibly losing Suze after I just lost Lauren."

"Suze is in a coma?" Thought Kelly, "That sounds wierd. Poor thing." She was sitting down, getting a manicure. "Maybe it was the shock of Tad breaking up with her," She thought, "That would make me black out."

"Where is everyone- anyone- I know?" Thought Suze.

"I should go to her- if only to see her sleep." Thought Jesse.

"I'll go see if she's awake, and break the news to her." Thought Tad.

"I'm already in the car, so why don't I go check on her." Thought Paul.

"I'll bring her some colorful flowers! That place is so dull !" Thought Kelly

Suze's room was in the middle of the hospital. There were several main entrances to the hospital. Jesse went through the front door, Tad went through the back door, Paul went through one side entrance, and Kelly went through another . They all reached the room at the same time. Regarding each other cautiously, they entered the room.

"She's awake!" They all thought at the same time.

'Suze, I need to tell you something." Said Tad and Jesse at the same time, they looked at each other and said both said, "ALONE".

Kelly put the flowers down and told Suze that she'd call her later. Paul smiled and said that he'd do the same. Jesse looked at Tad and said "I'll let you two talk first" then walked out of the room, thinking, "This way if he hurts her I'll know to kill him, and if he says something that makes her happy I'll know to be appreciative of him and just apologize to Suze." He took a seat in a chair outside of Suze's room.

A moment later Tad came out of the room smiling. "She's all yours." He said.

"I wish!" Thought Jesse, walking into the room.

"Hi." Said Suze quietly. She was, quite clearly, crying.

"Suze, I-" Started Jesse, "- Why are you crying? Did he hurt you querida?". Suze cried harder.

"What's wrong?" Asked Jesse, softly.

"He broke up with me and I didn't even know who he was!" Suze sobbed, "Who are you?"

"She doesn't remember? What have I done?!" Thought Jesse. "My name is Jesse DeSilva." He said. "Should I tell her what I 'was' to her or what I did to ruin that?" He wondered to himself.

Suze stopped crying, her face contorted in anger. "How DARE you!" She yelled, crying again.

"Susannah," Jesse said softly, "It's me, I promise. You don't remember what happened. You still think I'm a ghost. Right?"

"Do you think this is funny?!?!" She asked, crying harder still.

"Querida stop, you'll hurt yourself," Jesse said, referring to how hard she was crying. " I came her to apologize for what I did and to say that I feel like a- Jerk" Said Jesse, trying to speak in all English so Suze could understand him.

Suze gasped as if she was out of air. "Oh God." She said, crying even though she was out of tears. "Jesse!" she gasped.

Jesse had begun to cry just as hard as Suze. He collapsed onto his knees. "I'm so sorry Suze!" He said, "If you don't forgive me I would die! But I was so stupid, how could you forgive me?"

"I saw us." Thought Suze, "Future me and Jesse. I have to forgive him. I have to prevent-that- from happening. I was an idiot first anyways- and for longer". "Jesse." Suze said crying, "I- Jesse." She began to shake. Almost unable to speak, she stammered out the words, "I-I-I... L-L-Love.... Y-Ya-You" before collapsing onto the bed, exhausted.

"She loves me?" Thought Jesse, "Still? After all I've done? How could she? Unless- She knows something important that I don't and I won't know until later... I don't care. I got a second chance. That's all I need". He got up from his knees and took Suze's hands in his, saying, "I love you querida. Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me." After saying this he exited the room to find a nurse to check and make sure that Suze was alright. "That crying exhausted her and it's all my fault." Thought Jesse. He found a nurse and she reassured him that Suze would be alright and that she just needs some rest. Then she left to go check on another patient, leaving Jesse alone in the room, wondering what Suze saw while she was blacked out. That was the only explanation for her forgiving him that he could think of. "She must have had some sort of shifter premonition," He thought, "After all, she's supposed to be the most powerful shifter alive. The most powerful shifters get premonitions, at least that's what I was told."

"I'll be right there." Said Paul to Suze. He hung up the phone. Trying to disappear, he realized that he couldn't. Paul picked up the phone to call Suze back. Still at the hospital, she answered, "Hello?"

"Suze!" Said Paul, disbelievingly, "I can't shift!"
