Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Suze's POV
The next day I woke up at 5 am because I hadn't slept the night before. I was too busy crying my eyes out over Jesse.
Yes, I had just found out about Jesse loving me and all, which made me really happy, don't get me wrong. But Jesse didn't want to love me. It was probably something he couldn't control. And he is ignoring me, which hurt more then I could say. So that is why, I had to put on a lot of eyeliner to try and cover my very red eyes.
Which, if you came close enough were still noticeable. But what was I supposed to do? My mom would never let me skip school over red eyes. And she would ask why I had red eyes, which I really didn't want to get into right now.
I finished getting dressed and got an apple out of the fridge. It was only 6:30 am. Which sucked because I really didn't want to stay in our room for another half hour until everybody woke up. So I grabbed my bag and decided to walk to school. Maybe I could catch up with CeeCee, we haven't talked all week.
When I got to school it was only 7, so no one was there yet. Not even Father Dominic. Which sucked because now I had nothing to do for an hour. So I decided to go to my locker- and who should I find waiting there, but Paul Slater.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. He smirked at me while his eyes went up and down my body making my cheeks turn crimson in the process.
"Actually I just came here to clean out my locker, it is kind of messy." He said with a slightly sheepish grin, and I almost smiled. It was really funny to see Paul embarrassed. But then he pulled me toward him and put his arm around my waist and I remembered that Paul was just Paul.
"Paul…." I said, my words coming out as a whine as I tried to pull away. He held onto me tightly though.
"Well Suze, since no one is here…" he said finishing with a devilish smirk, making sure I caught his drift, which was kind of obvious considering he was continually pulling me closer to him.
"Come on Paul, no." I said while tugging on his hands which were now dangerously low on my back. But he didn't let go, he just ignored my insistent tugging and looked at my face and smiled. But then he looked up at my eyes and his smile slid off his face faster then water. He had noticed my red eyes.
Paul's POV
"Suze have you been crying?" I asked in compete bewilderment because Suze never cried, ever. She then looked away from my face trying to cover her eyes which were red. Before she could answer I filled in the obvious. "You have been crying." I said more quietly then I had intended.
"It's nothing Paul, just allergies." She said in a light and airy voice that didn't fool me. What had happened to her? I was so distracted by her eyes that I let go of her and she slipped from my arms and went towards her locker, fiddling with the combination. Who had hurt her? I would kill whoever the asshole was who hurt here.
"What happened?" I said in a low voice which was close to a growl. She looked at me with shock written all over her face because of my aggressive tone. So I put on a sweet smile and she laughed- which was music to my ears.
"Nothing." She said and then her face clouded over. "Just Jesse stuff." She said with a sniffle as she turned away from me again trying to cover her tears. WHAT DID HE DO?
"What did he do to you, Suze?" I almost yelled. She looked at me weirdly, before responding.
"Well he..." she said faltering and then continuing. " He told me he loved me and then he dematerialized." She said with a completely crushed look on her face that broke my heart. "And I don't think… he is ever coming back again." She finished with a sob.
I was suddenly furious. This was all so ridiculous. Not only is the Suze in love with a frickin' ghost, but they are too blind to see that they both love each other even when a frickin' priest can see it! And why was she in love with him anyway?
"What do you see in that guy anyway Suze?" I said with a slight groan. "He is dead. Dead Suze, DEAD." I said yelling out the last part. "Don't you see this?" I sad pointing to her and me while stepping closer to her and pulling her close. "Don't you understand that I and you are perfect for each other, why waste your time on Rico Sauvé when he doesn't even sticks around long enough!" I yelled.
"Paul, I thought we discussed this. We were only dating to—" She said in an annoyed tone before I cut her off.
"Yeah, yeah I know. Make Jesse jealous." I said in a bitter tone.
She nodded and then continued undoing her locker combination.
I sighed. " But Suze-" I said in slight desperation.
"No buts about it Paul. I love Jesse." She said the last part with a slight crack in her voice that made my heart ache.
I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled away and said, "Well I don't know how you could love a fool like Jesse when he doesn't even stick around long enough for you and him to be together. But I will always be here Suze." I said grinning. Then I walked away because it was almost eight and it was time to head to class.
Ok this was a slightly pointless chapter, but still. I NEED REVIEWS!
