This is my first fanfic, so no flames please. It's post Twilight so yes the wonderful Jesse is alive and breathing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story line, it all belongs to the wonderful Meggin Patricia Cabot, even Jesse sighs.

Suze's POV:

I still couldn't help smiling every time I saw him. Talking to people, and having them look his way and respond lifted my heart. It's amazing the little things that we all take for granted, well normal people take for granted.

Under no terms am I considered 'normal'. Jesse, of course, isn't normal either, but at least he looks it now.

Now it doesn't look like I'm a hopeless romantic when we kiss, kissing thin air and all that. Let me tell you, unless you've had a ghost for a boyfriend you'll never know how awkward the situation is.

"Susannah, hello, were you even listening to a word I just said?" the subject of my thoughts asked, a slight frown on his face.

"Of course." I lied.

"Well?" he lifted one eyebrow, challenging me.

"You were just telling CeeCee about…." I tried hopefully.

Jesse sighed and rolled his eyes, something he had picked up from me. We were hanging out at the beach with CeeCee and Adam. Talking about something, that hopefully wasn't too important.

Thankfully my cell phone rang just at that moment saving my from whatever criticism they had in store for me. However when I pulled it out of my bag, my light spirits sank at the name on the screen 'Paul Slater'.

"What do you want? When did I give you my number?" I answered in one of my more annoyed tones.

"Suze…" he gasped "don't go to…you need to get…" Then the line went dead. I wasn't sure if I should be mad or worried. My first thought was that Paul was playing some juvenile joke on me, but my instinct wasn't too sure about that.

Jesse's POV:

Susannah looked very unsettled by her call. "Who was it?" I asked her gently.

"Oh, just a prank call." She said, but from her uncertain look expression I wasn't convinced.

"Slater?" I hazarded a guess; from the look on her face it seemed I was right.

"He has no business calling you! Why did you even answer?" Adam worded my thoughts perfectly.

"Well I just…" She started but her face went an ashen white and her eyes fixed on a spot somewhere behind my head she let out the most frightening scream.

Immediately I jumped to her side and she clung, shaking, to me. I turned, still holding her, to see what had frightened my Querida. What I saw sent shivers up my spine, reminding me of the years I had spent in my lonely purgatory.

"That surprising huh?" With a look that would have been amusement, had it not for the fact that I could see the beach through his translucent body Paul Slater sneered back.

Ok, I know it's short, but I plan on continuing, please review. I just came up with this idea, and this is the first chapter, so most of the actual story line is still in my head so bear with me, as I said this is my first fanfic.
