That's a great idea for a fanfic. Tell me more?
Thanks for the reviews! So, here's the next chapter. I'm not quite fond of it though. I don't know...there's just something wrong with it. I might rewrite it after this whole fanfic is done. And for all of you people who wants to know how Suze and Jesse are going to meet each other...well, if you e-mail me and ask nicely, I might just tell you, hehe. This fanfic might take a long time to end because I have to cover the Bryce, Tad, Michael and Paul 'incidents'. I'll end this author's note now, so go ahead and read.
The next day, I went straight to the library. Yes, I know. Who would've thought that Suze Simon would ever go to the library? Well, I went to the library to do some research on what Doc told me last night. I know, I know. You people think I'm crazy since I told Doc about believing in ghosts. I do, because a week before I was to move to Carmel, California, I felt as if he, my dad, was standing nearby. Then I noticed a folded piece of my paper that had 'Susie' on it. So, I unfolded it and it read:
Dear Susie,
It's me dad, please don't freak out by this. I know I'm already dead, but I just wanted you to know before I move on that I love you very much and never forget that. I've always been here, looking out for you and your mom. I know that you feel my presence all the time. Take care of your mom. I'm sure her new husband will give her the love she deserves. I'm sorry for not always being there for you. Please believe me when I say this, I know you went to that psychic with Gina when you were in 6th grade, and I want you to know that what the psychic said WILL come true. I just want you to be happy. Good luck honey.
Love,
'Ghost' Dad
So you see what I mean? My dad died and he wrote me a letter before I left. I just can't ignore it. I need to know who's haunting my bedroom because for all I know, my dad already moved on and if he didn't, I know the ghost is not him.
After two hours of pointless research, I went home. I know my mom told me that we were going school shopping today but I have MORE things to worry about, so I just told everyone to go on without me. Now, I'm alone in the house, more like my room, and a ghost is probably watching every move I make right now. So, I wrote a letter to the 'ghost'. I know for a fact that you can write to a ghost and the ghost will write back, because when my dad gave me the letter, I wrote him back. After I was done with the letter, I went downstairs to watch some T. V. since I had nothing else to do.

Jesse materializes to Susannah's room once again to check on her, only to find her gone. He materialized into the living room and found her watching something on T. V, so he decided to go back to the room. After 10 minutes, the door swung open and Susannah entered. She went to her desk, grabbed a pen and paper then went over to her bed. She seemed to be writing a letter to someone. He decided to watch her, and was amused to find her throwing, ripping and crumpling pieces of paper. Two hours has gone by and Susannah is done. She left the note on where Jesse was seated and left to go downstairs. Jesse decided to look at the note, being the suspicious self he is. He picked it up and it read 'Ghost'. He decided to read it and it said:
Dear Ghost-living-in-my-bedroom,
Hi, my name is Suze Simon. I just want to get to know you since I know you're living in my bedroom. My stepbrother, the youngest one, told me all about it, having a ghost in my bedroom, I mean. I'm not mad or anything. I believe in ghosts even though I can't see them. And I want to know if what my stepbrother said is true. Anyways, if it is, do you mind answering a couple of questions?
What's your name?
How old are you?
Are you male or female?
How long have you been dead for?
How did you die?
Please write back…
Sincerely,
Suze Simon
Jesse was out of words at first because it was the very first time someone, ever since he died, written to him. He decided to write back, thinking that it was going to be a beginning of a new friendship, although she can not see him. He was thinking of showing her letter to Father Dominic, but crushed the thought immediately. Father Dominic can't know…he wouldn't approve of it. So he grabbed a pen and paper from Susannah's desk and started writing.
Dear Susannah,
Yes, it is true. There is a ghost living in your bedroom, which am me. To answer your questions, my name is Jesse De Silva, I am 20 years old, I am male and I've been dead for 150 years. I died in 1850. I was murdered right here in this very room.
Thank you for writing; even though you can not see me, I want us to at least write to each other once in awhile. If you want to see what I look like, I suggest you go to the museum and search my name. And if you are wondering how I know your name, it's because the principal, Father Dominic, in your school, Junipero Serra Academy, can see me. He's a mediator, a liaison between the living and the dead. If you still want to talk, you can write to me and I promise to write back. Goodbye, querida…
Yours Truly,
Jesse De Silva
After Jesse wrote the letter, he quickly folded it and placed it on the window seat and dematerialized before Susannah comes back.
I know the letters are poorly written and might not make sense but bare with me! Suze and Jesse are going to communicate by letters just to let y'all know. LOL. Anyways, review!
