Hello! Update!

I started crying. I have never ever cried like this, ever.

"Susannah, please don't." He brought me into his arms. "Jesse, you're dead again. How can I not?" He kissed the top of my head. "Querida, I love you so much. No matter what happens, I always will." That made me cry harder. Because I knew what he meant by that. He meant that if he moved on, he would still love me. I would never see him again.

We went to go look for Mercedes. Well, Paul and Kat did. Paul knew that Jesse would have to move on soon, so he wanted me to stay with Jesse. which I though was really sweet. Especially for a guy who I didn't even think had a heart.

I eventually fell asleep in Jesse's arms. Until the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Susie-Q" My heart stopped beating. "David." I could just imagine him smirking.

"You better get down here."

I didn't want to. Jesse didn't want me to. But I had no choice. It was like I was in a trance. I found him waiting for me in the Mission's cemetery. Paul and Kat were tied up to a grave and Mercy was unconsious on the ground.

"Nice of you to join us Susie." He could see Jesse. He wasn't dead, but he wasn't alive either.

Jesse stood behind me. He had a firm grip on my shoulder. "Sorry about your little boyfriend, Suze. I want you to know that I had nothing to do with this." He glanced over at Paul when he said that. "Paulie over here wanted me to do this. I just did what I was told, so I wouldn't be put in jail." He took a step closer to me. Jesse pulled me back.

David smirked. "Hold on, cowboy. I'm not going to do anything to her." He smiled. "Yet." With that, fire circled around me. I was stuck in the middle with David.

"Jesse!" He wasn't behind me anymore. Then I saw him, floating motionless in the air. Oh no, he was dead! Wait, he already was. Nevermind.

"David, please." I practically screamed.

"David, please." He mocked. "I was going to be okay with de Silva over there." He nodded toward Mercy. "To make Rico watch the person he loved most in the world, not die, but live her life in a living hell." I gulped as I took a step back, the flames were at my heels.

"But then," he continued, "I realized that she wasn't that person." He smiled. Oh, crud. Why is is always me?

I took off running. Where was I going? No idea. "Susie, you cant get out." Then I knew what I had to do. My hair was going to regret it. I ran through the flames. I didn't know if I was on fire or not, but I jumped in the Mission's fountian just to make sure.

"Why the heck did you do that, Suze?" I didn't know. I glanced at Paul who was looking at me like I had grown a second head. Then, I felt myself lift up. I lifted my head to see David staring back at me.

"I told you you can't get out." He smiled to reveal a large set of fangs.

"SUZE!" I heard Paul scream.

David laughed as he lowered his fangs to my neck. Then, deja vu, I did the only thing I could do.

David jerked his head back. He looked down to see the pencil sticking out of his chest. I fell to the ground with a loud thud, I looked back up at David. He tried to make one last attempt at me, but fell to the ground. Dead.

I ran over an untied Paul and Kat. Paul, as soon as I untied him, hugged me tightly. "Suze, you idiot." I smiled. Kat hugged me too. "Not bad, New York."

We walked back over to Mercy who was just waking up. "You okay, Mercy?" She nodded. "Suze, what happened?" I smiled."I'll tell ya later."

She looked at all three of us, and realized we were missing someone. "Where's Jesse?" I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I was unable to speak. She got my meaning and began crying too. I looked over to where he last was, and he wasn't over there. I knew where he was.

"Jesse?" He looked up from his body. I started crying again, and he put his arms around me.

"I have to go." I cried harder.

"Jesse, you don't have to. It can be like it used to be."

"Susannah. I'll just hold you back. I can't do that to yoy."

"Yes you can. All I want is you."

I saw a tear fall from his eye when I said that. "Querida, I know. But I can't do that to you. I want to stay, but I can't." He kissed me. I don't know how long we stayed like that, all I knew is that I didn't want it to end. Eventually he broke away. "Querida-" I nodded.

"If you love something, set it free. If it was meant to be, it will come back to you."

"What Susannah?"

I shook my head.I don't know what came over me in that instant, all I knew was that everything would be okay.

"I love you, Susannah."

"I love you too Jesse. Always have, always will. No matter what, till the end of time."

He smiled as he began to shimmer. And then, he was gone.

I put my arm around his body and cried, with my head on his chest. I stopped though when I felt someone grab my hand.

"Querida."
