Hey guys! I'm soo sorry it's taken me soo long to update. It's just that I started school and I've had a lot of homework and then I had a recital for my dance group that took up a lot of my time. But I promise that I will try to update every Friday or so. So here's Ch. 5.
Enjoy
Disclaimer-Meg Cabot owns the characters not me. Including Suze, Paul, and Jesse (sigh).
Chapter 5 I need to explain…a lot
"What are you doing here?" I scowled at him
"Aww Suze don't be that way. You know you like me deep down inside and is that anyway to treat your rescuer?" He said as if he had it all rehearsed before he said it.
"Who says I even want your rescuing? And I mean if you had any intension of rescuing me to actually help me, you would have found me yesterday not a day later."
In a mock hurt face he said, "Ouch, Suze that hurts, it really does."
"Oh save it for someone who might actually care. Now if you excuse me I must be leaving." I tried to breeze right by him. No such luck, he just grabbed my arm. Really hard I might add. "Ouch, Paul that hurts. Let go."
"Now Suze, where would you need to go? You don't belong here."
"It's not your problem. Paul, let go of me." Right after I finished my sentence guess who came? A very sexy, gorgeous, cute, handsome…sorry where was I going with this? Oh yeah, anyway Jesse just happen to come in.
"Oh great, what is Rico doing here?" Paul was staring me right in the eye and I could so tell he was not happy. I tried to look away from that icy stare but for some reason I couldn't until I heard Jesse.
"You. You're the one that tied her up and then left her at the barn." I could see the anger building up in Jesse. Past, present, or future, Jesse hates Paul. I don't think that will ever change. At this point Paul let go of me but it still hurt. I knew there would be a mark in the morning.
"Chill will you I was merely talking to Suze here."
"I will not, as you put it, 'chill'." Walking towards me, "Susannah, are you all right? Did he hurt you?"
"I'm still in the room." I gave him a cold look. Paul. Not Jesse, I mean. "I'm fine but I think we should start getting back before they start to worry what to us." We started to leave but then Paul just has to whisper in my ear. "He can't protect you forever." That sent a chill down my spine, even though it's really hot out- and there was no such thing as AC back then, I mean now, well you know what I mean- so I know that was Paul who had made me shiver.
Jesse and I walked out of the church that was within the mission and started to walk back to his family. We were quite for a while. I guess he figured out that I remembered. I was going to explain but I didn't even know where to start. I decided that I would start from the beginning. The very beginning. To when I first met him.
"Jesse can you stop for a moment."
"Is there something wrong? Did he hurt you?"
"No," I didn't want him to run back and sucker punch Paul in his stomach, even though he deserved it. "I think I need to explain. I remember everything now, so I want to explain it all. I didn't really get to back at the barn the other day."
"Oh well, would you care to sit then?" I nodded. He and I sat there on the sand and I started my story….

I know it's short but the next one should be pretty long. So R&R.
And like I said I should be updating sooner.
