Here's an update!

Jesse's POV

I can't believe that Susannah got me fired! I mean, I love her and all, but that was just too far. AND the fact that she did it on purpose! She PURPOSELY wanted to get me fired, and then she tells me she loves me!

Yeah right.

I mean, I guess I was a little too harsh on her, saying that I don't love her, but she got me fired from my once in a lifetime chance job.

Well I HAD said that I didn't want that job when I first saw her outside Mrs. Leary's room.

But Susannah could have…. Susannah!

Where was she? I spun around, and didn't see her at all.

Poor girl was probably crying her eyes out somewhere.

I looked in the waiting room... Nope, not there.

I looked in the men's bathroom… wait, what was I thinking?

I asked the secretary to look in the woman's bathroom and tell me if anyone was in there, and there wasn't.

Where was she!

I was walking down the hall when I heard her voice.

I spun around, and realized that she was in the one place that I wasn't allowed to go into; my bosses office. I was kind of relieved.

I thought that she would be kissing Paul or something. I could faintly hear the conversation:

"I don't care what you think!" I could hear my boss scream. I never liked that guy. "Hector De Silva is never again going to get a job here, even if he's the best doctor in the whole ENTIRE WORLD!" Susannah responded with a small,

"But it's not his fault." She sounded scared out of her wits.

What summer she was having.

"THAN WHO'S FAULT IS IT!" he screamed. I could see him inching closer to Susannah through the keyhole.

If he lays a hand on her, I swear I will kill him.

"It's mine." She replied, hanging her head down. He inched closer.

He was only about a foot away.

"Touch her and you die." I murmured under my breath.

"HOW THE HELL IS IT YOUR FAULT!" he cried, taking another step closer.

9 inches, that was it.

"I did that on purpose to make you fire Jesse so he could come back and live with me in Carmel, and I can finally stop c-cr-crying." She squeaked.

"I don't believe that crap." He said, only 6 inches till her.

"You should." She whispered. He stepped closer, 3 inches.

Her face was 3 inches from his. Not only was his face close to hers, but she was in a corner, and she couldn't escape.

"I don't." he said, and he leaned his head down, and kissed her.

That did it; I was through with this guy. I could see Susannah trying to push him away, but he was pushing her up against the wall. I busted through the door, my face red as a tomato. He broke away, and screamed,

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE DE SILVA! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE!"

"Oh, I'll leave." I said, and I grabbed Susannah, and ran out the door.

Suze's POV

"OMG Jesse, thank you so much, that reminded me so much about the time when Paul did that to me, and you weren't there because you were still a ghost, and then I…."

I stopped.

I couldn't believe I just said that.

Jesse stopped too, grabbed a hold of my shoulders, and looked me in the eyes.

"What?" he asked, his tension rising.

"What did you say?" he looked concerned.

Very concerned.

"Nothing Jesse, really, I'm fine, there's nothing. No, absolutely nothing." I lied.

How could I have said that? Sure it was a long time ago, but Jesse may think that I was… I don't know…. Cheating on him?

"No Susannah, it's not nothing. Tell me." I looked into his eyes.

They were that inky black I had come to love, but that inky black looked concerned, desperate….

Scared.

"Jesse, really, I mean, it happened a long time ago when you were still a ghost, and I know that I shouldn't have, and that I should have told you right away, but I didn't, and that's it. See, it was nothing." He just stared at me.

"Susannah, I don't have any idea what you are talking about, but I think that you have left out some details." I got even more nervous than before.

I couldn't tell him that I had gone over to Paul's house and just let him kiss me on his bed. Well, maybe I could, but it still didn't feel right.

"Susannah." He said again.

"Please don't keep secrets from me. If you really did love me, you would tell me." I sighed.

It was true.

"Do you PROMISE not to get angry?" I asked him, eyeing him suspiciously.

"I promise." Jesse sighed.

"Okay. Jesse, you know that time when I got all those blisters on my feet?" Jesse nodded. "Well, I told you that I got them from new shoes, and I did, but after school, I went to Paul's house because he wanted to teach me some new mediator tricks, and so then he started to well… kiss me, and I kissed him back, but then realized what I did was totally wrong, and jumped off of the bed and ran away, but Paul sent all these bodyguards after me, and I took of my shoes to run faster, and I got all those blisters from the shoes and from the hot pavement, and I got a ride home with Neil, but Craig made us almost crash, and I got home and I was so glad that you weren't there because I didn't want you to see me like that, and you did anyways, and I didn't tell you the story, I didn't even tell you that Paul was back in Carmel, but you found out anyways from those flowers, and when you asked what had been going on between us, I got embarrassed because I loved you a whole lot more then Paul, but I knew that you didn't feel the same way. But then you asked me if there was anything that I wanted to tell you, but I said no because I didn't want you to find out about that kiss." I sighed.

Man that was a mouthful.

"Susannah." He said.

"I'm not mad at you, but why did you let him kiss you like that?"

"I don't know Jesse! I'm such a mess." I cried.

"Jesse." I said, a lot of curiosity in my voice.

"When I asked you if you wanted to tell me anything, and then CeeCee and Adam walked in, what were you going to say?" That had been a question that I had been wanting to ask for years.

5 to be exact.

He sighed and lifted his hand to my face.

"I wanted to say that I loved you." I was amazed.

Stunned to be more certain.

"So you loved me all this time?" I asked, grinning like an idiot.

"Longer." He said.

"Every since that day that I found you and Tad French kissing in his car." I blushed. "Yeah." I said.

"Come on." He said,

"Let's take you home." I smiled, and we got into a taxi. We got to the airport, and got onto a plane back to Carmel. Thanks to Jesse and his money and persuasion, we got first class again. I smiled and sat down in my seat.

After about an hour of flight, the plane started to get bumpy, and it started to move side to side.

"Jesse, I don't think that this is supposed to happen." I said. He just grabbed my arm tightly. Then the captain came over the intercom,

"Passengers, this is your captain, hang on, we're going down."

I hate cliffys as much as the next guy, but, I'm going to put on anyways! Mwhahhaha. So.. review por favor:)
