--------

It was finally the day I got out from the hospital. I hadn't told Jesse the truth. I just told him Father D. wanted to see me. To make sure I was okay. I said I was crying because I was so happy to hear from him. Jesse didn't question me for once. That night, I said I was going over to see Mercy. My parents, like always, believed me. So, I got into my car, and drove. Not in the direction of Jesse's house. No. In the direction that Father Dom had told me to go. Well, he didnt want me to go by myself, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. But I guess it could hurt me. I held the piece of paper that I had written the directions on in my hand. I finally got there. It was dark and foggy. Almost like the Shadowland.

"Father D?" I continued walking. "Father Dominic?"

"Nice to see you, Susie." My heart stopped beating.

"Heather." I said. My voice shaking. I was still clutching that piece of paper in my hands. That's when I realized. And when it hit me, it hit me hard.

"Where is he?" She smiled when I asked that. "Where he should be." Was her reply. I was afraid to look behind her. I knew what I would see. But somehow, my eyes found thier way over there, although I firmly warned them not to. I saw it. And what it was connected to.

"No!" I cried. "Jesse!" Heather's laughter was ringing in my ears as I ran. I ran and ran for what seemed like miles until I finally reached my car. Then I felt someone's arms go around me.

"Get away from me!" I started kicking and punching. Anything to get away.

"Stop." He said. "Susannah! Stop!"

I looked up and saw a familiar pair of brown eyes staring back into mine. I started crying and his arms went around me. I went down to the ground, and he went with me, holding me in his arms.

"We need to get her out of here." I looked up to see who Jesse was talking to. Paul, Kat and Mercy were standing in front of us. Paul nodded, but then said, "Jesse, what about-"

"We'll deal with that later." Jesse said, looking down at me. "Come on, querida." He took my hand and lead me to his car. To Paul he said, "We'll meet back up at the Mission."

I was quiet the whole way there. When Jesse pulled up, he lead me to the fountain. I sat down on the bench, still silent.

"Querida, what did you see?"

----

I hated seeing her like this. She looked up at me, her emerald eyes filling up with more tears than I had ever seen her cry.

"Jesse. You were-" She broke off into sobs. I took her into my arms again. "Querida, what was it?"

"Your body."

I looked down at her. "My what?"

"Your body. Oh Jesse." She buried her head in my shirt. My body? How could that be?

"How did you find me?" She looked up at me after a few minutes. Her cheeks were tear stained.

"Your mother called and wanted to talk to you." I saw her make that very familiar face, then she asked, "What, um, did you say exactly?"

I laughed. "I told her that you and Mercedes fell asleep while you were watching a movie and that I would have you call her back." She sighed out of relief. "And I know that you tell Mercedes everything, so she knew where you were."

"I'm rubbing off on you."

I smiled. "Maybe a little too much." She smiled, but it quickly faded. "Susannah. It wasn't me. I'm right here. I'm not leaving you."

"I just don't want to lose you, Jesse." Again.

At that time, Paul, Katherine and Mercedes drove up in Susannah's car. They walked over the where we were.

"Gosh, it's freezing." Katherine said as she walked over to us.

"Why wasn't Father Dom where he told me to meet him?" I looked back down at her, then threw a nervous look at Paul. He stared back at for a minute before saying, "Uh, Suze. He's-"

"Right here." We all turned to look at him. Paul and I knew what we were going to be seeing, but Susannah, well, we both knew what was going to happen when she saw him, and we were both prepared.

She did exactly what we thought she would do. She screamed and fainted. I had already had my arm behind her, so she wouldn't fall. Father Dominic shook his ghostly head and motioned for us to follow him.

"What are we looking at?" Katherine said to Paul. I'd fortgotten that she couldn't see ghosts. He sighed and took her hand. "I'll explain on the way."

I took Susannah into my arms and followed them.

"Gosh, what the heck?" I said as I lifted my head up. I saw that I was at the rectory. How did I get here? Then I saw something over in the corner. "OMIGOSH!" I screamed as I jumped into Jesse's arms. It was the same body that was at the mall. It wasn't burnt enough for someone to have died, so, what happened? I saw who it was as I walked closer.

Father Dom. I fell back against Jesse. "Susannah." I turned to look at father Dom's ghost. I felt tears in my eyes.

"Who are we looking at?" Kat whispered to Paul. He told her to 'shh' and looked back over at us.

"Dear." He said as he came closer to me. His grayish-blue eyes brighter than ever. I cried.

"Susannah." He said as he put his arms around me. "Father Dom!" I cried.

"Sweetheart, I'm not dead." I looked up at him.

"Yes you are! I'm sitting here looking at your ghost and dead body."

"I merely seperated from my body so that Marcus would think that he killed me." I stared at him with a blank expression. He sighed, "Susannah, Marcus woke up shortly after you and Jesse left the other night. Before I could call the police. He tried to kill me, but before he could, I seperated from my body, so he would think that he already killed me." I continued to stare at him.

"Honestly, Susannah. Mr Slater never told you you could do this? You should really be paying more attention in those Mediator lessons." I guess Father Dom read from my expression that he had said the wrong thing. "Those lessons that you no longer take." He said , trying to cover it up. but it was too late.

"Lessons? Susannah! I thought you said you quit!" I turned to look at Jesse. His face was redder than ever. I smiled, but he still looked at me with a murderous glare. Well, not at me. More like at Paul, who I noticed had moved closer to the door and had both hands over his nose.

"Um, Father D." I said, trying to restrain Jesse. "So what you're saying is-"

"I'm not dead. Well, yet. I hope not." He said as he walked over to his body. "I may have been disconnected from my body for too long." I felt tears spring back into my eyes. "What do you mean Father D?"

"Susannah, I-I- I might die." My heart fell. "Well, here goes." He said as he laid one hand on his body. He was immediatley sucked in.

"Father D?"

----------

"Susie! Come on! Jesse's been down here for thirty minutes!" My mom screamed. I was proud of myself as I looked in the mirror. My curly hair was frizz-free and straight and my green eyes were standing out more than usual since I was wearing a gorgeous emerald-colored gown. I looked pretty darn good of I do say so myself.

"Susannah Simon! NOW!"

"I'm coming!" I said as I hurried down the stairs. I grabbed Jesse's arm. "Bye mom, bye Andy."

"Not so fast young lady." She said., holding a camera. "Mom, no! We're already late! We have to -"

"Smile!" I did. Not a very pretty one, but I did. "Okay. Bye mom!" I said as I ran out the door before she could take another picture of me, or Andy lecture Jesse on what he can and can't do.

"Bye sweetheart! Have fun!"

"We will!"

"Have her home by midnight, young man!" I heard Andy yell.

"I will, sir." Jesse said as he closed my door. He laughed as het got into the car. "Shut up. It's not funny."

"Yes it is."

"No it's not." He smiled. "Oh, Jess! Just go!" He laughed again as he drove out of the driveway.

--

"Kat!" I yelled. Trying to catch up to her and Paul before they walked into the Mission, which was hard in like three-inch heels. "You look so pretty!" She said when I caught up to her. I smiled. "You do too!" She really did. She was in a strapless baby-blue dress that was so gorgeous and perfect that I hated her right then. But whatever.

"Hey guys." Cee said as she came up behind us. "Hey Cee Cee." She was wearing that dress that Mercy and I made her buy. Adam look as if he couldn't keep his eyes off her. "See aren't you glad you bought it?" I whispered in her ear. She smiled and nodded.

"Where's your sister?" Kat asked Jesse. "Who cares." He mumbled. "Oh my gosh." We saw her. She was in this long red gown that looked like something Eva Longoria would wear. Don't you just hate how Latinos can look so gorgeous in red and you can't even pull it off? Maybe it's just me.

"Hey." She said as she walked up to us, Tad following closely behind her. Jesse rolled his eyes when he saw Tad and said to me, "Let's go, querida." And grabbed my arm and led me in.

"Hello." He said as we walked in. His blue eyes as bright as ever, but this time it wasn't because he was other-worldly, it was just because he was happy to be alive.

I hugged him. "How do you feel?" Father D smiled. "Better. Have a good time, children." We assured him that we would, and walked in. Kat motioned for me to follow her.

"Hey Jess, I'll be right back." I followed Kat into the ladies' room. She was smiling.

"What?" She looked over at me. "Nothing."

"Is it Paul?" She smiled again. "You two are so cute together." I said as I looked in the mirror, trying to smooth the back of my hair down.

"You think so?" I nodded and said, "I know so." She laughed. "What about you and Jesse?" I felt myself blush. She laughed harder. "Let's just go. We can't keep them waiting any longer." we both laughed as we walked out.

I couldn't help but notice the spot that I had last seen my dad as we walked back over to them. This dance was bringing back memories of when he moved on. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"Querida,are you okay?" I nodded, but in his usual way, Jesse read my mind. "It's you father isn't it?"

"Yeah." He smiled and kissed me. "He's still with you." I smiled when he said that.

"I know. Come on." I led Jesse to the dance floor and put my arms around his neck. I rested my head on his shoulder as we swayed. Everything was perfect.

Well, it was perfect. Until I noticed a very unwelcomed guest in the back corner.

And she was glowing.
