A/N: I finished Twilight. :dies: I was sobbing in the middle of Geometry and I had 2 leave skool early. No more Jesse. I'm breaking up w/ him and sending him back 2 Suze. My turn 2 b selfless. :sniffles: but I miss him… and I should call Paul, but I just… I'm not really in2 it nemore. Well, yet. But I'm ready 2 work on my fic s'more. Nuffin 2 do w/ the 6th book, tho. Well, we find out sum'n in this chappy that even I didn't know. Pretty kool, pretty kool. And then something I wasn't expecting happens. This story is getting out of my hands. But, true to form, REVIEW RESPONSES!

1st, of course, the people who have me on FAVVIE AUTHORS and FAVVIE SOTRIES and AUTHOR ALERT and SOTRY ALERT… u people rox m'sox!

GroovyBananas: I understand… thx :-D

QuidditchMoke: OK, basically, Jesse was saying that she shouldn't pay so much attention to Paul because it was what he wanted… and jesse's all "but you're always, 'oh no paul! Don't paul!'" and suze is all "I don't sound like that! Do you think I sound like that?" I would look it up, but if I GLANCE at that book, or anything ABOUT that book… I go nuts! Lolz+hayley. That's my new thing 4 "lol" cuz I nicknamed lolly "lolz"… fits, huh? Lol. Paul has not yet BEGUN to fight… but that would be reason 4 him 2 be mad at jesse, eh? That explains a lot about the later bits, actually… tahnks 4 pointing it out… sometimes I don't know y my chars act the way they do… HAHA HECK NO THAT WASN'T THE END! I'M STILL WRITING AND I'M ON CHAPPY 30! Hehehehe… well, time 2 post! Hurrah! Kid with boxers over his shorts… my friends r weeeeird… :-D

Things settled down a bit, mostly, with "Paulie" in the hospital, and soon Jack had to leave. There was still the ever-present matter of Heather and Maria. Luckily, I had Jesse now. He wouldn't leave my side, which annoyed me to no end. Kidding. It was really nice to have him there. I went with him to visit Claire, but their conversation around me seemed strained. Maybe it was just always strained. I'm not the suspicious type, though. No sirree bob. Anyway, she looked even more injured than the last time I'd seen her, thanks of course to Felix. But today was different. She was grinning. "Suze! I'm glad you're OK! And I have some big news!"

"Does it involve anyone dying?" I asked.

"No, the opposite!"

"New baby? Who?"

"Me!"

"Oh, that's great! Umm, wait, who's the father?"

She looked at me like I was a moron. I get that a lot. Could that mean anything? Naah… "Tim, of course!"

"But how did Tim…"

"I've been pregnant since a bit before he died, but I never bothered to get tested with all the… him… you know… and stuff."

"Wow, that's great! So how far along are you?"

"Four months! The baby showed up on the tests!" Wow. Four months and I hadn't even noticed? How "little" was she before? And why wasn't Jesse the least bit surprised? Guess he knew already… why did that make me feel kind of funny? No reason, I guess. Tim was beaming so widely it looked like the ends of his grin would meet in the back and the top of his head would fall off.

"Aaw, what a happy moment!" said a voice suddenly appearing behind me.

"What do you want, Heather?"

"You. You're coming back with me."

"Umm… no… I don't think I am…"

"You are."

"The knife to my throat won't work this time." I gestured to Jesse.

"But what about one to hers?"

Maria was standing there with her knife to Claire. I swore.

"Alright, I give. Get rid of the knife and I'll go." Totally bluffing. I never give in that easily. Cold metal pressed against the side of my head.

"Yes you will." Great. Jesse couldn't stop a gun in time. Now I might actually have to go.

"But Paul's in the hospital!"

"He was released."

"What? In his condition?"

"He's healed enough to get around on his own, when matters are… urgent as they are," clarified Maria.

"What about jail?"

"He posted bail. No one was hurt, except him, so he got out." Heather was grinning again.

"Spiffy. Congrats on the baby. Gotta go now." We walked outside. "But if anything happens to those three, or anyone else for that matter, I'll find a way out, and you'll all pay. No need for the blindfold, what good'll that do?"

"I've told you I'm not a fool, girl." Maria blindfolded me, and this time, spun me around.

"Excuse me," came a stranger's voice. "What are you doing?"

"I'm spinning around. It's quite fun, you should try it sometime." I assumed he was giving me an odd look, but I didn't care. Then to disorient me some more, they picked me up and brought me to the middle of the street. Heather was slightly less giggly now that she knew her "Paulie" would abandon her at a pin drop, but she knew my kissing act wouldn't work twice. We got to somewhere, I couldn't tell where, but we got there, and they took the blindfold off. There was Paul. My jaw dropped. How was he not dead yet? He looked horrible. His lips were… wow. Bad. Ghastly. The blood was gone and now it was all too visible. And he couldn't talk, clearly. He'd be a pushover, but I had to not kill him. As a ghost, he'd be way harder to deal with.

"Don't think about doing anything," Heather advised me. "Felix is back at the hospital."

Well. That was great. Now what? I couldn't call for Jesse. Felix'd know he was gone. (A/N: Wow… They've got Suze here… really don't know what's gonna happen…) "Now what?"

"Now we suck your soul out, and put mine in!" Heather bopped around excitedly.

(A/N: Rubs eyes… what is she gonna do? I need a ghost… wait... Twilight didn't happen… :thinx:) Who could I call? My dad! Dad, I beckoned in my head.

He came! I shushed him with a look. How to fill him in? "So what are you going to do to me?"

"I just told you, idiot! We're going to take your soul out and put mine in!"

"But wouldn't that be like… killing me?"

"Umm… DUH!"

My father spoke. "Hey, is this the Enemies of Suze Simon Convention?"

"Umm… I guess…"

"She uh, killed me. Yeah, in a car accident. Give me a chance at her before you kill her."

"You can't bruise her body!"

"Oh, what I'm going to do won't leave a bruise."

"Fine…"

Good thing they weren't looking at Paul, who'd be making sound if he could.

Dad went to untie me. "What are you doing?" demanded Maria.

"You'll see." He finished untying me. "Oh no, she got away!" he exclaimed before I'd even had a chance to run. Yay! I ran, alright. But not to the hospital, and not to my apartment. Too easy. I ran somewhere they wouldn't think to look. I ran to…

Thought about telling u where she ran 2, but decided not 2. Hehe. Oh, gosh darnit, REVIEW YOU PEOPLE! Hehe I lurve u all. XXXOOO Especially Paul Flowers, my (INCREDIBLY ANNOYING) fiancé, and my boyfriend Josh if he EVER READS THIS and of course Jesse de silva, if Josh doesn't read this. Lol.
