Here's chapter three! Sorry it's so short, but that was the only place I could stop without it getting super long I thought, and I would rather have a chapter that was too short than one being so long readers would lose interest. So, with that, here's chapter three!!

P.S- I've only had one reviewer out of all the chapters, and I know there are more of you out there, so I would appreciate reviews!

Chapter 3

Susie walked out of her bedroom, thinking about Cesar.

It had been 3 months since she had seen him, and, instead of time healing her a little, it seemed to hurt more and more every day.

Every day she would walk and see couples holding hands or embracing. Couples would kiss each other, almost mockingly, right in front of her. They had no regard to the lonely people that would walk right passed them; they had no idea how it could have been them that were ripped away from each other. She hated every single one of them. What made them so special, that they could be with the one they loved and she could not? It wasn't just; it wasn't fair in the least. There was no logical reason that they could be together yet her and Cesar, whose love was purer than any of theirs, could not.

She dressed for the day in an angry state, throwing the dress from the other day on the floor angrily. She ripped open her suitcase, and threw everything across the room until she found her black dress. She figured since everything had been taken away from her, why not dress the part.

I won't see my father today. I know I'll make his state worse today. I'll see him when I have more of a sound mind, Susie thought, as she zipped her suitcase up a little too violently. She threw the door open and stormed down the hall, not even noticing John walking by.

"Woah, where's the fire miss?" he said as Susie stomped down the hall.

Susie was about to turn around and blow up on him and rant about how her life was a mess, but when she saw him her eyes softened. He didn't deserve to be yelled at; all he had done was be perfectly nice to her. It wasn't his fault that the girl across the hall from him had her life in complete shambles.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, I was just thinking a little too hard, that's all." She didn't even bother to try to smile at him, she knew it was a lost cause.

"Oh, I see. Well, Miss Susie, I have to ask you. Are you still up for that date I asked you on, or do I need to leave you with your thoughts, before you really do blow up on me?"

Susie was, yet again, shocked. Had I really said yes to a date last night? How did he know I was going to start yelling at him? I know I was storming down the hall, but I didn't even open my mouth to say anything to him before I stopped myself from blowing up on a complete stranger. Oh, I'm a horrible liar. Susie thought, as she stared at him once again.

"Gee, Miss, I appreciate the attention, but could you please stop staring at me like I was born on the moon? You do it a lot, and it sort of makes me feel uncomfortable."

Susie forced herself out of her thoughts. "Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I think a little too much." She shrugged.

John laughed. "Well, Miss, you never answered my question, about our date you agreed to-"

"Oh! Right, well, I'm sure I could spare some time today, I'm not going to the hospital, so I guess I can accompany you somewhere."

"The hospital? Why would you go to the hospital, ma'am, are you sick or somethin'?"

She covered her mouth with her hand and squeezed her eyes shut for a second. Giving away too much information had never been a problem for her, so why was she such a big blabbermouth all of the sudden?

She quickly tried to recover. "No I'm not sick, Mr. Wayne," she began. No choice but to tell him now. "You see, my father is very sick, and I moved from France to come here to see him, so I'm usually at the hospital about every day.."

"France? You came from France? I didn't know that. You sounded like you had a British accent, but I thought maybe your folks came from Europe or something. That's strange, Coach didn't tell me you and Miss Lola were from France."

She shut her eyes again. This was the second time in the last five minutes she had given too much information away to this man. She had to try to be careful from now on.

"Yes, well, now you know. Excuse me, Mr. Wayne, but I really am very hungry, so I need to find Lola so we can get something to eat."

"Oh yeah, of course! I'll show you to the kitchen, Miss Susie. This place is very big. It's pretty easy to get lost in here."

Susie bowed her head and began to walk with him. "Yes, I already know that much about here."

John laughed at the woman beside him. She intrigued him a lot, but he couldn't figure out why. Yes, she was very pretty, but he knew a lot of pretty girls, and none of them had ever intrigued him as much as this Susie girl did. There was just something mysterious about her that excited him. For some reason, she made him want to know everything about her; where she was born, what her family's like, all the places she'd been in her life, everything. He would enjoy getting to know her very much.
