Sorry it took me SO long to update but I'm kinda still busy and what not. Here's chapter 8. Reveiw.

I was unpacking into my old dresser. I had gone back to Paul's house when he wasn't home, got my stuff, and smashed the picture of me and him while I ripped it in half and burnt the side with him on it. The flames actually kinda suited him in that picture. Being the devil and all. I was also getting ready to go to work. Then my private line rang. Who uses my other phone line anymore? Who even remembers the number?

"Hello?" I answered it while picking out what I was going to wear.

"Suze." Oh jezze.

"What do ya want?" I asked him. "Harrass me some more, hmm?"

"I'm a lawyer." He said very profound and proud. "I know about harrassments."

"Look, just get to the point. I'm busy."

"Busy with what? Jesse?" If he was here right now I would've broke his nose.

"What are you talking about?" I let off some steam.

"Oh c'mon, Simon. Aren't you two together yet or what?"

"Me and Jesse are not together."

"Oh please. You've always been together. Don't you get it?"

"No." I answered flatly.

"If you weren't such a stupid bitch maybe you'd understand."

"What did you just call me?" I was offended now. No one calls me that and gets away with it.

"You heard me. If you weren't one maybe we'd still be together." Oh, please. "Or maybe if you never slutted around."

"I-I-" He cut me off.

"You'll be sorry. One day he'll leave you again and you'll come crying back to me. Well guess what, baby? I'm not taking shit from you like that anymore." Then he hung up. Tears stung my eyes. I was just told off by Slater.

"Susannah. I'm here." Jesse said comming in through my bedroom door. He was picking me up to go to work. "Oh, Susannah. What's wrong?"

"He-he-he called me a stupid bitch." I said and he wrapped his arms around me tightly so I could cry into his shirt. "And a slut." I managed to say. Jesse smoothed my hair and cradeled me back and forward. I was curled up. I'm 24. I'm too old to cry about silly things like this. After a few minutes I wiped my eyes and re-applied the eye liner on my eyes which had streamed down my face.

"Ready to go?" Jesse asked popping his head into the room.

"Just about." I said putting on my shoes. "Let's go." Jesse was going to drop me off while I had my car in the garage getting new tires put on it. When we walked out into the living room mom was watching tv.

"Oh, Suze." She said sadly. "Did you hear about that car that crashed into the side of the Big Sur? It was a horrible accident. The news are just showing it now." I looked over at the tv. The car looked familar. A little too familar.

"Maybe we should hurry. They should be bringing that one into the hospital right now." We went down the road and to the hospital. Jesse waited outside for me.

"Dr.Simon. He just came in. No serious injurys. Room 243" Gloria, the secretary, said passing me a clipboard. I got Jesse and made sure it wasn't who I thought it was.

"Ok," I said looking down at the clipboard, "and you are..." Slater, Paul. "Paul?" I said looking at him confused. He had 3 stitches in his arm. "Yeah, and I thought only the devil could survive that one. Oh look who it is. Satan!"

"Hello Suze." He smirked at me. "Fancy meeting you here." Not so fancy in my case.

"I think I'm going to get Dr.Ray on his case." I said in a low voice to Jesse.

"Now, Susannah. You have to face him one time or another." Jesse looked at me disapprovingly.

"I will." I smiled. "Just not today." I left the room and 15 minutes later Dr. Ray and I had switched time slots. "Thank you, Dr. Ray, for switching time slots with me."

"No problem. It's my daughters birthday tomorow and I would have missed it if you didn't switch times with me." He said and I passed him the clipboard.

"What's going on in here?" I heard that oh-so-familar voice of Nurse Kennedy. She was 54 years old and was strict. "You know no visitors this hour." It was only 7 o clock. I think she's starting to get old. She looked at Jesse. "And who are you?" She demanded rudely.

"Dr.Jesse de Silva." He said kindly shaking her hand.

"Well if you're a doctor you're not dressed in uniform." She snapped not falling for the kindness in Jesse's voice.

"Chill, Kennedy." I said. "Gosh.You can't make a person feel welcome, can you?Anyway he dosen't work here. He's with me and we were just out the door." I tookJesse outside. "Bye!" We got in the elevator and then we were on the main florr.

"But you're wrong about one thing, querida." A cold shiver went up my spine when he said that. I didn't understand what he said. "Look." I looked up at the shifts for tomorow afternoon.

Dr. T. Newhook

Dr. S. Russell

Dr. D. Pike

Dr. S. Simon(Me)

Dr. D. Morgan

Dr. J. de Silva

(A/N- I used 5 of my friends names for the doctors. Lil' shout out to my friends.)

"You work here?" I looked up at him and he smiled. "Scince when?"

"Scince Dr. Temple sent my papers here and I got employed." He said happily. "So shall we be going?"

"We shall." I laughed at myself quietly. Shall. I think Jesse is starting to rub off on me. We left the hospital and Jesse drove me home. What a dramatic night.

I'll try to get chapter 9 to you as quick as I can.
