Chapter 10
At Luis and Sheridan's home.
Luis- "Bye honey."
Sheridan- "Where are you going?"
Luis- "Theresa is leaving today."
Sheridan- "Where is she going?"
Luis- "Where have you been? Don't you remember her telling us yesterday? She is leaving with Little Ethan to go and spend some time with Paloma."
Sheridan- "Oh, that's right. I completely forgot."
Luis- "Then I should be back soon. I just want to send her off with a hug. You know all that sentimental brotherly love stuff."
Sheridan- "Should I go with you?"
Luis- "Do you want to?"
Sheridan- "Sure. What about Miguel? Is he going too?"
Luis- "He said that he was."
Sheridan- "Okay then, I'll grab Martin and I'll meet you in the car."
Luis- "Okay, hurry up. Her flight is leaving in half an hour."
In Hawaii.
Whitney- "Hello?"
Ethan- "Hey Whit, it's Ethan."
Whitney- "Ethan?"
Ethan- "Yeah, sorry to butt in on your honeymoon and stuff, but I need a favor."
Whitney- "May I remind you that I am on my honeymoon."
Ethan- "Yes I know. I just need Theresa's flight information."
Whitney- "What are you talking about?"
Ethan- "Whit, I know you have it. Please, she walked out on me this morning."
Whitney- "This morning?"
Ethan- "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Details later."
Whitney- "Look Ethan, I can't."
Ethan- "Please Whit. Please. I can't lose her again."
Whitney- "Ethan, you know I love you. You know I'd do anything for you. But what you're asking is an awful lot. Theresa specifically told me not to tell you anything. She doesn't want you in her life anymore. "
Ethan- "If she didn't want me in her life anymore, then why did what happened last night happen? I mean, you saw what happened at the reception when we were dancing."
Whitney- "Yes, I saw it. And it wasn't until after it happened that I saw how much it hurt Theresa. Ethan, just leave her be. Except it. It's over."
Ethan- "Whitney, yesterday you told me to follow my heart, tell Theresa how I feel, win her back, not to let her slip through my fingers and now you are telling me to let her go? Make up your mind."
Whitney- "Ethan…."
Ethan- "Whit, please. I'm begging you. I can't lose Theresa again. Please."
Whitney- "Fine. Let me find it."
Whitney rummages through her purse. Finally, she finds the papers she needs.
Whitney- "Ethan?"
Ethan- "Yeah, I'm here."
Whitney- "Okay, she's flying ATA. Flight number 284, gate number 67. Her flight boards at 3:00. Take off should be at 3:48. Do you need Paloma's information?"
Ethan- "No, hopefully I won't need to talk to Paloma. Hopefully I can get through to Theresa."
Whitney- "Okay then."
Ethan- "Goodbye, Whit. Thank you."
Whitney- "Your welcome."
Ethan- "Bye, Whit."
Whitney- "Bye."
Ethan was about to hang up.
Whitney- "Oh, and Ethan."
Ethan- "Yeah?"
Whitney- "Don't lose her."
Ethan- "Thank you."
Whitney- "Bye."
Ethan- "Bye."
At the Lopez-Fitzgerald home.
Theresa is packing things into a suitcase.
Pilar- "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Theresa- "I have to."
Pilar- "Mija, if you have any doubts, follow your heart."
Theresa- "Mama, I have to do this."
Pilar- "Theresa, I saw what happened between you and Ethan last night, at the reception. You know as well as I do that you are not over him. And he is still in love with you. You can't just throw it away."
Theresa- "Mama, I've made up my mind."
Pilar- "Theresa, you know that I have never really approved of your relationship with Ethan. But look where it has taken you. Look at everything that has happened. And still Fate throws you together."
Theresa- "I don't believe in Fate."
Pilar- "Since when?"
Theresa- "Since it gave up on me and Ethan."
Pilar- "Gave up? Oh no, my little Theresa. I think you are the one who has given up. I understand that you have been hurt in the past, but don't throw away something beautiful. You can't just give up on your one true love."
Theresa- "I can, and I have. It is the only way I can move on."
Pilar- "Theresa, please, just think about this. Ethan is a good man. And he loves you. And you know as well as I do that it is almost impossible to forget about your first, not to mention, your one true love."
Theresa- "Yes, I know. That is why I am trying to get away from him. I can't live like this anymore. I don't deserve this pain."
Pilar- "Pain? Theresa, you are causing yourself all of this pain. And what about Ethan? You are going to leave him after what happened last night and it will hurt him more."
Theresa- "Mama, don't you think that it is tearing me apart that I am leaving him? But this is the only way. I am a mother. I have to live for my child. I can't live in despair all of the time. I need to be strong for him."
Pilar- "And that's another thing. Ethan, he is Little Ethan's godfather."
Theresa- "Yes, I know. But Ethan is now in my past. Mama, please, just trust me. I have to leave now. Where's Little Ethan?"
Pilar- "He is in the living room." Pilar couldn't make her daughter see the light. "Are you sure?"
Theresa- "I'm positive."
Pilar- "Okay then, I'll drive you to the airport."
Theresa- "Alright, let's go."
