Disclaimer: Im not Meg Cabot. I don't on Jesse () Suze, Paul, or any other character that Meg Cabot made up.I also do not own the plot line to any of the books. I do however own a copy of each book, and two of the 3 & 4 books.
The day just seemed to drag on forever. All I wanted was to get it over with, but I swear god had slowed time.
After a few hours of seemingly endless classes my final teacher dismissed us and I ran to Adam's car. Somehow CeeCee and Adam were already there.
"Hurry up Simon!" Cee yelled at me from the front seat. She leaned over Adam and honked the horn. (I think she just wanted an excuse to get closer to Adam)
I got into the car. "so what is it you wanted to tell us?" Adam asked.
"I said I'll tell you when we get to my house," I replied.
We pulled up to the house and I bolted up to my room. When I got there Jesse was sitting on the windowsill reading some heavy boring looking book. I sat down right at his feet and he put down his book.
"Hello Querida. Are they-"
"OK Suze we're here, now you can start talking," CeeCee said as she stepped through the door, followed by Adam.
"Yeah Suze what's this all abou-" He stopped when he looked up at me. Almost like he saw… No he couldn't.
Adam proceeded to hurry over to the bed without looking up at me again, and CeeCee was close at his heels.
"So um where should I start?" I asked nobody in particular.
"How about explaining the guy next to you?" Adam said. My jaw dropped and Cee looked at him like he was crazy.
"You mean this guy?" I asked pointing next to me. "This one right next to me?" at the same time Jesse said, "You can see me?"
"Who are you talking about?" CeeCee exclaimed.
"We're talking about the dead cowboy next to Suze." Adam said sarcastically.
"I am not a cowboy!" Jesse yelled standing.
"Jesse calm down," I said trying to pull him back down onto the window seat. It didn't work; he remained standing with his fists clenched.
"I'm sorry Jesse, but you do look like a cowboy to me!"
"Suze, is Jesse a ghost?" CeeCee asked
"Adam what the hell!" I screamed (Thank god Mom and the boys weren't home) "He didn't do anything to you!"
"Suze, he has to leave now!" Adam yelled at me. Gee I think all this yelling was beginning to give me a headache.
"Adam, he's not going anywhere! Now sit down!"
He didn't
"Suze just get him out of here before-" Adam cut of just staring at Jesse. "Shit, not again!" Adam started to glow extremely brightly. He started to dim and then was back to looking like plain old Adam again.
"Suze, Is that Jesse?" CeeCee asked pointing right at him.
I looked up at his face. He was looking very pale. "Jesse? Are you ok?" I asked.
He didn't answer.
He just fell to the floor not moving.
