Wow. I'm surprised one of you actually knew who it was. Good job.
Anyway, here is my next update!

I felt my fingers shake as I grabbed my phone.

"Hello?"

"J-Jesse?"

"Querida? What is it? Are you ok?" He asked, worriedly.

"Hurry. I need you."

Jesse arrived in my room a few minutes later. "Querida, wha-" He stopped and stared at the girl that was beside me. His jaw dropped.

I sighed and said, "I found me."

He let out a Spanish curse word. "Susannah..." Still in a daze.

"I'm sorry. Can you- what's going on?" Ghost me asked. I guess she hadn't noticed that we were pratically identical.

I say practically, because we weren't completely identical. But Jesse told me before that we wouldn't be, considering a different part of my soul went to each different world. Something like that...

What? You know Jesse. Confusing things make sense to him.

"Suze?" I asked uncertainly. I glanced at Jesse for help, but he was still staring. He just shook his head and sat sown on the edge of my bed, looking like he had seen a ghost.

Erm...no pun intended.

She looked at me. I sighed, "I'm Susannah Simon."

She laughed, "No you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, you're not. I am."

I looked over at Jesse who had finally came out of his daze. "Quer-" He glanced at me. "Um...Suze, listen." And then he told her the whole soul-splitting story which is too long and boring to repeat..so I won't waste your time.

She just stared at him, "You expect me to believe that?"

"Yes." Jesse said, tonelessly.

She laughed, "Excuse me, what was your name again...Jesse? Listen, Paul would never do that to me. He loves me."

I snorted, "Yeah, he loves you alot. That's why he left you in Shadowland to die...that's why he tried to ruin your life...that's why you're here right now. That's why you're dead. And if you don't join back with me, then you'll stay dead, and I'll be down a soul...well, a fraction of my soul."

She didn't say anything. Then she said, "He told me it wasn't going to kill me. Going into the Shadowland wasn't going to kill me." She almost started crying. "I can't do it."

"Quer-, Suze, please."

She looked at Jesse, "What'll happen to me?"

He walked over to her, "You'll join back with your body." He said as he motioned to me. "You'll have your life back." He looked at me, and said to her. "She's weak without you, and she could die...please do it."

She nodded and walked over to me, "But what if I don't like it?"

Jesse smiled, "Then we could always bring you back out."

"Ok, I'll try."

I felt a sharp pain shoot through me, and I would have fallen, but Jesse caught me. He smiled, "Susannah?"

I smiled back, "She likes it." He laughed and hugged me.

"What now?"

He sighed, "There's still two of you left."

"Jesse, what happened to me? The real me?" He looked at me. His dark eyes were glittering.

"You don't need to know."

"Jess."

"Susannah, you don't need to."

"He killed me, didn't he?"

Jesse opened his mouth to say something, but he choked up. "You really want to know?" I nodded. "Ok. I can't tell you...so your going to have to-"

"Gimme the time and place."

He grabbed my hand. "Carmel City Hospital...2011." He said quietly. I nodded and closed my eyes.

----

"Dr. de Silva?" I looked over Jesse's shoulder.

"We need to move-"

"They can't see us." Jesse said, tiredly. He pulled me back as an older version of himself walked into the office.

"Thanks, Sara." He took the phone from her. "Hello? Susannah..." He laughed. "Yeah, I didn't forget. I know. Querida, I know. I'll be home later, ok? I love you too, querida. Bye."

"De Silva." Came an icy cold voice from behind us. I turned to see Paul standing behind us.

"What do you want, Slater?" Older Jesse asked.

Paul smirked, "I think you know what I want. Something we both want...something one of us has, but doesn't deserve."

Older Jesse's eyes narrowed as he said, "I thought I told you to stay the hell away from her."

Paul laughed, "Like I'll listen to you."

The next thing I knew, Paul was against the wall with Jesse holding him up by his shirt. "If you lay one hand on her, Slater, I swear I'll-"

"Dr. de Silva? You're needed in the ER." Came that same female voice. Jesse glared at Paul for a minute longer, I think just to prove his point, and then he released him. Paul almost fell over, but caught on to a chair just before he fell.

Paul smirked, "I'm just saying, Rico. You may want to keep an extra eye out for your little 'querida'. You'd hate to lose her."

Jesse glared at Paul as he made his way out of his office, "You hurt her, I swear I'll make your life a living hell. And don't think for one second that I won't."

We followed older Jesse out of his office. I didn't see were Paul went, but I knew where this was going.

"Go a little further, querida." Jesse whispered in my ear.

I nodded, took his hand, and shifted.

----

"Dr. de Silva, you shouldn't be in here." Sara said as she walked into the cold dark room.

"My girlfriend just died, you think I really care if I'm not suppossed to be in here?" Older Jesse asked. His voice was shaking with every word.

"I'm sorry."

Older Jesse stroked my lifeless cheek. "I am too." He leanded down and whispered, "Please...come back as a ghost."

Then, it all hit me...

"Jesse!" I laughed.

"Susannah, it's true."

"Yeah, yeah, Cadaver Breath. I know." I said as I turned up my car radio. "When do you get off?" I asked him.

I could hear him sigh, "In about 20 minutes."

"Good. I'm on my way up there."

"Querida."

"Hey, other line. It's probably Cee."

"Ok. I love you, Susannah."

"Love ya too, cowboy."

He laughed as I clicked over. "Hello?"

"Hey, Susie-Q." Came an icy cold voice. The next thing I knew, I was in a ditch. Blood was pouring out of my head.

"Paul...why are you doing this?" I croaked.

"If I can't have you know one can." And then, I felt as thought someone had stuck a fork in me and twisted it around and around.

And I watched as he tore my soul in half...literally.

That was the last thing I saw.

"Oh my gosh." I ran out of the room. Jesse followed me.

"Jesse." He pulled me into his arms and I cried on his shoulder. "Oh gosh. I died when he spilt them?"

"Yes. You see why I came back. I can't lose you, Susannah." I looked up at him.

"You won't." I replied.

He smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips. "Let's get back to your time."

I nodded in agreement as I prepared to shift again...but this time I was cut off...

And I was falling into a pit of darkness...his laughter ringing in my ears as I fell...

Sorry if it sucked!
I love you guys!
