Ok, since the next chapter has to do with Thanksgiving, I decided to post it. Happy Turkey Day everyone!!!! Ok, you may get confused on this chapter...but if you read it carefully, you shouldn't. If you do, just tell me and I'll clear it up for ya. But the next few chapters will explain it better.
"Oh, Susannah! I'm so glad you could come!" Josie teased as we finally managed to get away from the party and outside. I smiled, "Too much food!" I said as I put my hand to my stomach.
"Way too much." She agreed. Then she smiled, "I love this holiday!" I laughed as we walked around the fountain.
"Joey? Mama needs you!" Jesse called out as he walked over to us. Josie groaned and looked at me, "I'll be back...hopefully."
I laughed and Jesse came to stand beside me. He took my hand, "I don't think she'll mind if I steal you for a while, do you?" He led me down through the forest-y land they had in thier backyard. We finally came to a large barn.
I stopped and looked at it, "Wow. It looks like it was built in like the 1800's." He nodded letting me know I was right, "Yeah, it's about 150 years old."
We walked inside of it and I got a feeling of deja vu. Seriously, I had seen this place before.
"Jesse, I'm Susannah Simon. I what's called a mediator. I'm from the future. And I'm hear to stop you from being murdered tonight."
"Susannah, are you ok?" Jesse looked at me worried. I nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm fine." I walked over to where he was standing.
"You know...we never answered that question." He said with a smirk.
"What question?" He reminded me. Oh, did he.
He leaned down and kissed me.
"Susannah, I'm sorry." He said when he pulled back, the gentlemanly side taking control of him. I smiled, "For what?" He smiled and kissed me again...
"Susannah!"
"Susannah? Suze, sweetie! Wake up!" I groaned and rolled over. I looked at the clock. Crap. 7:55. Late again.
"Not doing very well this week, are we querida?" Jesse materialized in front of my bed.
"Shut up." I said as I rolled out of bed and walked past him. He stopped me. "Did you forget something, Susannah?" I smiled at him and leaned up and kissed him.
"Morning, Cadaver Breath."
"Morning, Susie." I smiled and kissed him again.
"SUSANNAH SIMON! TIME FOR SCHOOL!" My mom yelled up the stairs. I groaned and Jesse laughed and said, "It's only eight hours."
"Only?" I whined. He smiled, "Querida."
"I'm going. I'm going. Don't get your ghostly panties in a wad." He laughed and dematerialized.
"So, you've been having these dreams for a while now?" Father Dom asked me when I went to his office after school that day.
"Yeah." I said. "It's really weird."
"Jesse's alive in them?" He asked. I nodded and he said, "This is strange."
"Yeah, it really-" I looked up to see Paul walking in.
"Hey, Susie-Q."
I smiled, "Hey, Satan."
"Susannah!" Father Dom said disapprovingly.
"Sorry. Well, I better be off to Spanish." I said, grabbing my books and walking off. Paul grabbed me by my shoulder.
"What, Paul?"
"I thought you took French."
"I did. But I switched."
"Why?" Then he smirked. "Oh, because now you have your own personal tuitor, huh?"
I smiled at him, "Yeah, but me and my tuitor can, and do, have French lessons in Spanish." I said walking past him. I could just imagine the look on his face when I said that.
And Father Dom's too.
Cee caught up to me in the hall. "What are you doing tonight?"
"Why?"
"Just wondering."
I shook my head, "Nothing, I don't think." Then it hit me, "Wait..I'm grounded remember?"
I got grounded. Yep. Again. This time I was out after curfew. Which, it really wasn't my fault. But then again, it never is.
Stupid ghosts.
Oh well, at least now I can make out all night with my boyfriend. That is a ghost but not stupid...just extremly gorgeous.
Yeah, and maybe he can help me with my Spanish...and French.
Cee looked sad, "Remember? Tonight's the concert!"
"Man! Are you serious?" She nodded. I sighed, "Tell me how it is."
"There's no way you can sneak out?" Jesse, who had just materialized beside me, glared at me. I sighed, "No."
Cee sighed and said, "I'm really sorry, Simon." Adam walked past us and waved. Cee blushed.
I smiled, "Cee, you have got to tell him."
She rolled her violet eyes and followed after him. I laughed and turned to Jesse. He leanded down and kissed me, "See? Eight hours wasn't so bad."
"For you, maybe."
"So. Grounded? Whatever are you going to do all night?" He asked me with a smirk.
Which is how I found myself on my bed with Jesse, who was helping me with my French lessons. After a while of kissing him, I got a sharp pain in my head.
"Querida, are you ok?"
"What did you say?" I asked Jesse. He looked down at me and said, "I asked you if you were ok."
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a headache is all." I said, following him up the ladder. He took my hand and helped me up. "Susannah, are you sure you're ok?"
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked at me for a moment to make sure I was, and then he said, "Querida-"
"What are you two doing up there?" Josie asked us. We both looked down and said at the same time, "Nothing."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Sure... Suze, your mom called. She wants you home." I nodded and Jesse helped me down the ladder.
"So, what are you doing tomorrow night?" Jesse asked me.
"Nothing."
Wait, I'm grounded aren't I?
Or am I?
He smiled, "You up for a movie?" I smiled at him, and said in a flirty way, "Excuse me?"
"I said are you up for a movie?" I laughed as I kissed Paul. "Duh." He smiled and put his arms around me.
"Susie, what's wrong?" He asked. I just shook my head. "Suze."
"Paul, nothing's wrong."
He smirked, "You one strange girl, Simon."
I smiled, "Well, that's why you love me."
He smiled and said, "One of the reasons." He leaned down and kissed me again. I wrapped my arms tightly around him.
"I'll see you tommorrow?" He asked. I nodded. He kissed me one last time, before I got out of the car and walked up the stairs.
"Hey, sweetie. How was your day?" My mom asked as I walked in.
"Good." I replied as I walked up the stairs. I threw my bag on the ground and plopped down on the bed. I glanced at the window seat, and waited like someone was going to show up.
That's weird. Why would someone?
I sighed and began on my Spanish homework. "Ok." I said, flipping through the book. "Querida means-"
"-dearest one." Jesse said with a smile.
"So, I'm you dearest one, huh?" He laughed and wrapped his arms around me.
"Of course you are, querida." He kissed me.
I LOVE JESSE DE SILVA!!!!!
"I love you, Susannah."
"I love you too, Cadaver Breath." I said as I rested my head on his chest. He put his arms around me. "Susannah, something's been bothering you. What is it?"
I couldn't tell him about those weird dreams.
"Nothing, Jess."
"Querida, it's not Paul is it?"
"No, it is not Paul-"
"Slater!" I yelled. He laughed, "Sorry, Susie...
"Susannah."
"Querida."
"If you love something..."
"I love you, Jess."
"I love you, Paul.
"I love you, Jesse de Silva."
"...set it free."
What's going on? Where am I?
"If it was meant to be..."
Fog clung to me as I sat up.
"I've been waiting for you..."
Oh my gosh.
"It will come back to you."
I opened the door, and I walked in.
OK, I know you're all like WTF!?! But it will all start to come together with the next chapter, I promise!!!
XOXOXOXO
