Suze's POV

I woke up this morning feeling slightly dazed. I had this weird dream that Sleepy admitted his true feelings for me and then we kissed.

I looked at the clock. Naturally I was late. Again.

Feeling angry that nobody had woken me, I scrambled out of bed and started to search frantically for something to wear to school. I wouldn't have time for a shower.

There was a soft knock on the door.

I looked down to check if I was decent then said 'what?'

Sleepy opened the door and came in carrying a tray. Breakfast? Ready made? For me? By my step brother? Maybe that dream wasn't such a dream after all. My heart started pumping.

'Hey beautiful' Jake said smiling shyly. This statement only confirmed my suspicions.

'Hey...umm thanks' I said smiling softly 'you didnt have to make me breakfast.'

'I know its just that I know last night I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry'

'For what?' I asked.

'Kissing you when I know you have a boyfriend' he replied.

'What are you sorry for?' I asked again.

'Umm...wait does that mean you enjoyed it?' his smile was back like a little puppy when someone wants to take it for a walk.

'So it wasn't a dream' I mumbled.

'what?' he asked.

'Nothing - can you just leave the tray on the bed please I really need to get ready for school...please?' I smiled.

He looked at me up and down for a couple of seconds. Then he placed the tray on the bed and backed out of the room.

'You can't avoid me forever, now that I know you like me too I'll be fighting for ya' he winked and went back down the stairs.

I groaned. Why couldn't my life be simple.

Jesse's POV

I knocked on the door and then I was face to face with Jake Ackerman who seemed to be looking at me like I was vermin.

'Is Susannah ready yet?' I asked. I was going to take her to school early so we could go see Father Dominic. A fellow mediator.

'No, SUZE is not ready yet?' he said still looking at me oddly.

'Alright, I will go and wait in the car for her' I said nodding to him.

'Fine' he nodded ever so slightly.

'Wait-I'm here!' a beautiful voice sounded.

I turned around just in time to see Jake turn around and gaze hungrily at Susannah. Thats why he was acting so cold. He was in love with her.

Then a burst of jealousy erupted inside me clawing at the insides. Just as quickly it vanished when Susannah came out the door and gave me a kiss on the cheek glancing only briefly at Jake.

I smirked at him and said 'Good morning Querida' then kissed her back.

Then I turned to Jake and said 'have a good day' then I escorted Susannah down the path.

Jakes POV

I scowled at Jesse as he ushered Suze down the garden path.

He thought he was such a gentlemen. So not.

I smirked at the brief look Suze had given me. It was a look of confusion. Like she didnt know if she was happy with Jesse.

I least I knew I was playing my cards right.

I turned and grabbed my car keys then jogged to my truck.

4 hours later...

'Theres this awesome party at Dylan Brooke's house tonight' Dave said whilst we were sitting on the wall outside our college.

'Hmmm..' I said. I didn't really fancy going to a party. Unless Suze was there.

'Dude, what is wrong with you?' Dave asked taking a long drag on his cigarette. 'I mean, you've been pretty down recently.' He looked at me then offered me his cigarette.

I shook my head. I never wanted to smoke and I never would. 'I dunno' I sighed.

'Yah you do, is it a girl?'

'Maybe.'

'Bring her to the party! It'll be a good laugh.' he said like he was drunk. I looked at him. He looked stoned.

'She's not that kind of girl' I said back. Then I took the cigarette from him and threw it on the floor.

'What was that for?' Dave shouted his hands up.

I shrugged just a way to release my frustration I guess' then I got up and walked into the college.

Susannahs POV

I slammed my locker shut. This morning had been terrible.

Jesse or Jake???

Jake or Jesse???

Big Problem!!!!

I bashed my head lightly against the locker.

'Hey, whoa don't hurt yourself' a familiar over confident voice said.

I turned to see Paul Slater smiling at me. This day just kept getting worse.

'Why the long face?' he had lost his smile. 'Wait is it Jesse problems cuz that guy really needs a fistful' he said scowling.

'No...kind of ' it was no point lying to him 'but even if I wanted you to beat him up, which I don't, you wouldn't be able to' now I was the one smirking. 'Do you remember last time Jesse and you had a was I remember it, you had your head stuck in the hot tub and I was the one that had to save you.' I smiled at the memory.

'Well, he's no longer a ghost now is he, cuz you had to go save him cuz of your selfish little ass.'

I narrowed my eyes at him.

'Don't beat yourself up though, I happen to think your ass is rather-how to put it- nice even if it is a little selfish.

I blushed at this. I couldn't think of any other smart remarks so I just said 'Shut up Paul' and walked off down the hall.

'Don't worry babe, I'll be here even when Jesse's gone'

Like I need you. Then the realisation of his earlier words hit me. I was selfish to bring Jesse back and I couldn't leave him for Jake now. But I don't think I could go without Jake now and I can't cheat on Jesse for obvious reasons. Oh bumms!

I turned to the nearest locker and banged my head against it again.

Again sorry but please review and have a great new year!!!!
