Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Ok so this is going to be one of my last chapters… so you guys should review because it is probably one of the last times you will be able to review….

Jesse's POV

I am such a coward. I haven't returned to her room since I told her that I loved her. How could I do something so stupid? I am supposed to have some control! And here I am hiding after telling her how I feel. How could I do that? How could I make our relationship so awkward? And I told her right after she just kissed Paul, how stupid can I get? And not only is she smart, funny, caring and very beautiful…. But she is alive where as I am a 150 year old ghost.

I decided to materialize into our room because it is 6:30 and she should be downstairs eating with her family.

I see her there on her bed and I am about to materialize back to the beach when I notice that she is crying; and I stop because I can't stand to see her in tears. So instead of running away as I am prone to do, I go over to her and sit on her bed next to her.

She looks up at me startled and then hastily whips her eyes free of tears. She backs away from me and looks at me with such annoyance that I almost cringe and dematerialize again, but I stop myself. I need to make things right again.

"Susannah-" I choke, but then she interrupts me.

"Oh don't you 'Susannah' me Jesse." She said in a hoarse voice because of her crying. "How could you just disappear like that?" she yells, standing up to face me. I try to walk toward her trying to get her to understand but she just backs away and glares at me.

"Querida-" I start again but she makes a slashing movement with her hands, and I immediately fall silent.

"At least let me finish" she says in a quiet voice that shocks me. I thought she was going to shout at me.

"Last time you didn't even let me reply." She says with a sad smile. And I want to go over to her and put my arm around her and comfort her until she smiles again.

"I love you too Jesse.' She says and then turns to leave her room.

She loves you? She loves you! What are you doing standing here when she is about to walk out? After her ! After her! Go!

I rush forward and grab her hand, she turns to me with tears streaming down her face. I pull her toward me and kiss her before she can object. And I realize this is what true happiness is.

Suze's POV

Jesse is kissing me and I can't think of anything else except his lips on mine. All my troubles with Paul and school disappear when he is kissing me and I realize that everything will be all right as long as I have Jesse by my side.
