Ok a hint for the rest of the story. Have you ever heard the song Far Away by Nickelback? That's like the song for thie story. The lyrics fit perfectly with this story. I'm making this chapter 2 chapters in one.
Atdinner we sat down at a booth in a resturant called Monty's.(A/N: That's an actual place but it's only in one place in the world. Whitbourne.) I had a place of fries and a Sherly Temple. Then my phone kept on ringing over and over again.
"Suze." Adam said taking a swig of Pepsi. "Your phone is ringing." I looked at the called ID.
"Oh it's no one important." I said and put it on the table and continued at eat my fries. It rang again.
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Jesse asked.
"No." The ringing stopped and then I got a text message. Before anyone could speak I said. "No I'm not going to answer it!"
CeeCee looked at the caller ID. "But it's Paul." I shrugged. Then the asnwering macheine cut in.
"Hey Suze. Answer the phone! Jezze's I'm sorry. Just answer the frickin' phone! Look I know you're there and I just called to see if you wanted to go out to supper. Suze I know you can hear me just answer your cell already. I swear, if you don't. You know what? Forget it." Beep!
"Ok you call 2 times, your just checkin' to see if the person is home. 4 times, you're desprite. 6 times, you're a stalker." Adam pointed out and the phone rang again.
"Thats it!" I said and picked up the phone. "Would you stop calling me!" I yelled into the phone.
"Susannah? Good heavens, child. I hope that nto how you answer your phone to everyone." It was Father Dominic.
"Oh Father Dom. I thought you were suppose to be gone to that intervention thingy-ma-bob."
"No, my ride is running a little late." He said. "Anyway, Paul is trying to get hold of you. Why won't you answer your phone?"
"We're in a little fight." I said putting down my fork.
"Well here. He wants to talk to you." I could hear Father D pass the phone over to Paul.
"No!" I said.
"Hello?" Oh joy. "Suze. Are you there?"
"No." I said rudely.
"Oh c'mon. You're not going to let a stupid little fight come between us are you?"
"Yes, and it's not the stupid little fight either. It's what's been happening all along and you know pretty damn well what it is too!"
"But Suze..."
"Don't 'but Suze' me! You know I think? I think, that we shouldn't get married." CeeCee loked at me like I was crazy.
"You don't mean it."
"Yes I do mean it. Paul, the wedding and the engagement is off." I hung up the phone, took my ring off, and threw it into CeeCee's salad. "Toss." I said.
"Ok, but if anything happens the medical bill goes to Paul." CeeCee said picking the diamond ring out from the lettuce.
"Sure, I don't care." I picked up a fry and ate it.
When we got back it was 9PM. After that we went back to CeeCee's and Adam's and stayed for awhile. Meanwhile I was checking out the school again. I went into the library and took out the yearbook for my class. They were the same pictures that were on the wall and some different. There was one whole part about the graduation. Some pictures were in black and white to set the mood of it a bit more and the rest were in colour.
There's Kelly. I rolled my eyes. With a guys arm around her waist, duh. Then there was a picture of me, CeeCee, and Adam standing outside the school. I remembered it really well. We all threw our caps in the ai while mom was taking the picture.
Flashback
"We're free!" I said and laughed.
"Smile!" Mom said and we put our arms around eachother and she snapped the photo.
"Wait until we graduate university." CeeCee said.
"Uh, don't even get me thinking of that. I just want to enjoy the summer and put highschool behind me." I told them and Jesse came up behind me.
"I'm very proud of you, Querida." He whispered in my ear.
End Flashback
I shook the memory off and flipped the page of the book. Soon everything went dark, I was asleep.
Jesse's POV
"Susannah? Are you in here?" I asked as I opened the door to the library. "Hello?" I turned a corner of a bookshelf and she was asleep in her chair. I walked over and picked her up. She never woke up and I just brought her to her room and put her down on the bed. "Goodnight, Susannah." H whispered and kissed her forhead.
Suze's POV
"Who are you?" I awoke to a girls voice. I opened my eyes to see a ghostly figure standing there.
"Oh jezzes. I have to be sleeping. I'm hoping I'm sleeping." I said to myself and pulled the blanket over my head. Wait a second, how did I get from the library to the room?
"No, you're awake." The girl said who looked no more then 19.
"Well that's a good question, too. Who are you?" I asked rubbing my eyes. The girl looked hauntingly familiar. Long black hair, dark eyes, dark skin.
"I asked you first, you know." She said.
"Suze Simon."
"Suze, short for Susan?"
"Susannah." I muttered hoping she wouldn't call me that.
"Ok then, Susannah Simon." Ha, too late. "I'm Loria de Silva."
"Oh..." Then it all got processed and I realized what she just said. "De Silva? No way." I was more awake now. "I knew you looked familiar."
"Come with me." I said tugging on the sleeve of her shirt. "I want you to meet someone."
