Ok, this is my first ever fanfic. Please read it and tell me if I should continue writing it.
This is a bit twisted. Jesse is alive and Suze is the ghost. I'm not sure if I'm going have Paul in it though.

Jesse's POV
"The plane will be landing in 5 minutes. Please fasten your seat belts." I looked around to see everyone reaching for their seatbelts. As I went to fasten mine, I got a quick glance of Carmel, California. I was moving here from Spain to go to med school. The palm trees were getting bigger as the plain was landing. I could see the sandy beaches surrounded by the beautiful blue ocean. I guess Carmel wasn't that bad, though I will certainly miss my family and friends back in Spain.
As the plain landed, all the passengers got up and got their luggage. I saw and old man trying to get his bags but couldn't quite reach. "Here let me help you, Padre," I said as I reached to get his bags for him.
"Thanks son. It's good to know there still are good, decent teenagers on this planet." (A/N sorry to all the teenagers. I'm a teen too, but I really wanted to make the old man a hag!) I handed him his bags and reached for my own. I headed out of the plane to see my aunt waiting for me with open arms. I walked toward and rapped my arms around her.
"Jesse! Oh my gosh you've grown. How are your parents? Is your Madre well?"
"Hola Tiíta!(hello auntie)And I assume you are well also. How are Shawna and Shawn? How is John?" I looked at my aunt's cheerful face. She had aged since last time I saw her, but she still had that radiant glow to her.
"Oh they're all waiting for you by the car. Come on, we mustn't keep them waiting."
I picked up my bags and followed my Tiíta out the airport. As I opened the doors, I saw Sr. Covas and the twins waiting by a dark blue van. Shawn had certainly grown, last time I saw him he was still in diapers. He long dark hair and had grown quite tall. And I saw that Shawna was growing to be a beautiful young lady. They both must be about 15.
"Jesse, it's great to see you. Here let me help you with those bags." John took my bags and put them in the truck.
"It is also good to see. And thank you for your help." I shook the hand John held out for me. And then I looked at Shawna and Shawn. Shawn came up to me and Shook my hand.
"Hey Jesse! How's it going?" He said with smirk on his face.
"It's going well, and how are you? You have grown a lot since I saw you last." He was almost as tall as me and I noticed that his voice had gotten quite deep. Though he had grown, he still had a playful, careless look in his black eyes.
I turned around and gave Shawna a hug. She had also grown. Her dark brown hair came down to the elbows and I noticed she had red highlights. She had grown tall and had all the right curves in the places. (A/N no Jesse is not hitting on Shawna. He's just describing her.) "Hey Jesse, it's nice to see you again." She said with a soft smile.
"It's great to see you too. You are certainly growing into a beautiful young lady." I bent down to kiss her cheek. (A/N he really isn't hitting on her. He's just being a gentleman.)
"Well, if we're all set, let's hit the road." John said as he got in. I got in the back with Shawn. When everyone got in, John started the car and we were on our way.
"Jesse, why don't you come to our house for supper and then we'll take you to your apartment." My aunt said back to me. I never knew they had gone to the trouble to get me an apartment?
"Gracias, eso suena bueno," (thank you, that sounds good) I said. I was embarrassed by all that my aunt and her family had done for me.
As we were driving, I noticed how beautiful Carmel was. And I had never seen such a bluer ocean. "So Jesse, are you psyched about going to university? What do you want to become anyways?" Shawn interrupted my thoughts.
"Yes, I am very excited, though I'm a bit nervous. And I plan on being a doctor." I turned around and looked at him. He looks a lot like me, he even acted like me when I only 15.
"What kind of doctor do you want to be?" Shawna asked softly.
"I'm thinking of becoming a surgeon?"
"Eww, dude so are you like gona cut people up or something?" Shawn asked with a look of disgust on his face. Everyone in the car laughed.
"Yeah I guess so." I said after I caught breath. "I actually find it fascinating. It may be gross at first, but just thinking about helping someone else feel better or even saving someone's life is great."
"Dude, you're like a saint!" Shawn said as he patted me on the back. I smiled at him.
"Ok, here we are," John yelled back. I looked up to see a beautiful Victorian house. "Jesse here's 98 Pinecrest Avenue."
Everyone unfastened their seatbelts and piled out of the car. I went to the trunk to get my bags. "Oh Jesse, that won't be necessary. We'll just take you to your new apartment after your done with dinner." Oh, how could I have forgotten about my apartment?
John opened the front door and we all went in. as I stepped in, I noticed the smell of spaghetti and fresh flowers. "Shawn, show Jesse where the bathroom is so he can get cleaned up. Shawna, come help me set the table." My Tiíta went to the kitchen followed by John and Shawna.
"Come one Jesse, let's go get you cleaned up." I chuckled as I followed Shawn up the stairs. He stopped at the second door down and opened it up for me. "Bathroom's all yours"
"Thank you. I'll be down in a minute." I said as I closed the door. I turned on the cold water and splashed some on my face. The water felt cool and refreshing against my skin. And then I washed my hands with soap and water. After I had dried my hands, I headed downstairs.
When I went into the dining room, I saw that the table was set and everyone was chatting quieting. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting," I said as I took my seat next to my Tiíta and Shawn.
"That's alright Jesse," John said as he passed me the spaghetti sauce. "Help yourself please."
"Thank you." I stated digging in my food immediately. I hadn't eaten for five hours and I was very hungry.
"We got you all the essential appliances and furniture and it's all set in your new apartment." My aunt said after a couple of minutes of silence. "It's very close to the med school you'll be attending and you can come over here for supper every night."
"Gracias, you shouldn't have gone to all that trouble. Usted está haciendo demasiado para mí." (You are doing too much for me.) I was pleased beyond belief. My aunt and her family are doing too much for me and I do not know what to say.
"Oh, and Jesse I arranged for you to work as my secretary in the office," John said. He was the manager of a car company in Carmel. "You can start as soon as your classes, every weekday from 3 to 7 and on Saturdays from 9 to 5. Does that sound ok?"
"Thank you very much. Yes, that's great. I really can not thank you enough for all that you are doing for me."
"Oh honey, you're welcome. What are families for?" I could not believe my ears. I was embarrassed by all that they had for me.
As we were cleaning the dinner table, the bell rang. "I'll get it. It's probably Brad," Shawn said running toward the front door. Seconds later he and a boy who looked to be his age came into the living room.
"Hey Brad, how are you doing?" My Tiíta said.
"Hello Mrs. Covas. Sorry to bother you," Bradly responded. He had long brown hair and like Shawn, he also was quite tall.
"Oh, it's alright honey. How's your mom? Is she feeling better?"
"She's doing better, though she still isn't the same. She's been very different since Suze disappeared, but she's doing better. Now she doesn't break down every time she sees her picture or walks by her room." I was curious what had happened to this girl named Suze, but I decided not to bring it up.
"Tiíta, if you don't mind, I think I should be heading to my apartment so I can get settled in." I felt bad, like I was bothering my aunt and her family.
"Oh certainly Jesse, just let me grab my keys and we'll be on our way." I headed outside and waited for my aunt to arrive. "You ready to go?"
I climbed in the front and waited for my aunt to start the car. On the drive to my apartment, I was thinking about what Brad said and about the girl who disappeared. I really felt bad for her family especially her madre.
"Here we are," my aunt interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to a 4 story building. It was nice and clean and welcoming. My aunt had really picked a nice apartment for me.
I got my bags and headed for the front door. "Which floor is it on?" I asked my aunt when the elevator arrived. "The fourth floor." I pressed the 4 button and waited for the elevator to get to the fourth floor.
When the elevator stopped and the doors opened, I followed my aunt down the hall. "Here it is apartment 406. And here's your key." I opened the door to reveal a small but cozy apartment. I saw that all the furniture was set and that my aunt had gotten all the right appliances. "So what do you think? Do you like it?"
"I cannot thank you enough. It's really great!"
"Well then I'll leave you so you get settled in. Come over for lunch tomorrow and have good night."
"Thank you again for all that you have done." I held the door open for my aunt. When she had left, I went to look around my apartment one more time so I could sink everything in. It really was a cozy apartment.
Then I headed the single bedroom which was right next to the bathroom. Funny, I thought I heard a sound from in the bedroom. I ignored it and opened the door. When the door was opened, I was staring into a pair of emerald greens.
Dun, dun, dun……
So should I continue writing or not. Please review and tell me what you think!
