When we got there Father Dominic hadn't let yet and he was sitting at hhis computer playing a round of Solitare. I walked into the office and it hadn't changed a bit scince we went there. Same old office in that same old school. He looked up from the screen.

"Oh hello, Susannah." He greeted. "Where's Paul?" I shrugged and he gave me a look of concern.

"He's on his way I guess." I said. "What? Did you think that I ran off with Jesse or somthing?" Then Father Dominic looked real concerned. "It was a joke!"

"A funny one, indeed." He said not actually finding the humor in the joke at all. "Oh and I appologize Jesse not for telling you that Susannah is engaged. I hope you were too shocked."

"No." Jesse said and then I corrected him.

"No? Yeah right. All you were was shocked." I said. "It looked like you seen a ghost or somthing." Then I realized what I just said. Seen a ghost? Hell, this guy was a ghost and can see them too. "Ok that wasn't the best example."

"No." Father Dominic said. "Anyway, I'm leaving in 10 minutes to go to the convention. Try to make yourself at home. Oh, and by the way, there's a display of pictures in the award cases down the hallway. Go ahead and look at them if you like." Then he got a phone call. "Please excuse me." He picked up the phone and we left the office.

"Lets check out those pictures." I said as we reached the award cases. I seen a collage of clippings of photo's on the wall. "Oh wow." I said, looked, and pointed at the picture. Jesse came over and looked and then looked at my arm.

"Susannah. Do you need glasses? Because I think you hit another door." He looked at my other arm this time and a big bruise spread across it.

"Uh...Yeah." I said and then tried to quickly change the subject. "Hey look! CeeCee and Adam." I pointed to a picture of them standing together at prom. "Their married now. Cute couple. You know what? We should invite them out to dinner to celebrate you coming back. Show up at their house and surprise them."

"That's a great idea." He said.

"I'll call Paul and see if he wants to go too." I dialed his number on my cell and he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Paul. I was wondering if you would want to go to CeeCee and Adam's with me?"

"And let me guess, Rico is going too?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes he is." I said in a matter-of-factly way.

"Why would I want to go see CeeCee and Adam?" He asked snobbishly.

"They're my friends and we were going to go see them. You know have a little 'Welcome back Jesse' kinda dinner."

"Susie, he left you for 3 years."

"It's Suze! S-U-Z-E!"

"No need to freak out and tell me again why would I want to go bave a 'Welcome back Jesse' supper thing?"

"Well jezze Paul. We haven't seem him in 3 years!"

"So? I don't care I'm not going." I hung up on him.

"Is Paul going?" Jesse asked still looking at pictures.

"Who cares." I said in a awfully bad mood. "Lets go get Adam and Cee." We pulled up at their house. A nice size house on a big hill and you can see the whole beach and ocean. They have their own property. Their house was like living in the country. "Hide so when she answers the door you can surprise them." Jesse hid by the side of the door away from it and I knocked. CeeCee answered.

"Suze!" She said and gave me a hug. "Where's Paul?"

"Who cares?" I said quickly. "I brought a gift." I said.

"You didn't have to get us anything." CeeCee said and Adam approached the door.

"I never." I said. "Surprised me yesterday too." I grabbed onto Jesse's sleeve and pulled him over. "Surprise!" CeeCee and Adam looked so shocked that it wasn't funny. Actually it kinda was funny. "I was gonna wrap him up so he would be an actuall present but he wouldn't let me."

"Oh my gosh. You're-You're back!" CeeCee said still in a trance. Then she snapped out of it. "Well come in." We went inside their house and sat on the couch.

"So I was wondering if you guys would want to go out for supper?" I said but before CeeCee or Adam could answer my phone rang. "Hold on just a sec." I said and flipped it open. "Hello?"

"Suze."

"Oh jezze. Whatta want now?"

"Well if you're going to put it that way then you owe me an apology." He must be crazy.

"Me? Owe you an apology? Right..."

"I'm serious. C'mon Susie, I know you didn't mean it."

"IT'S SUZE!" I flipped.

"Well don't be such a...A..."

"Bitch? Oh c'mon, Paul. I know thats what you were going to say. Just say it. Bitch. B-I-T-C-H!"

"I'm in a church, Suze."

"Oh whoop-de-frickin-do!" I said and then hung up. They all looked at me blankly. "Well lets go out and eat, shall we?"
