Chapter 1
It was a warm sunny day in the quaint little town of Harmony, Maine. For some people though it wasn't so sunny.
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald was in her room crying, which had become a daily ritual for her now. EVery since Ethan started dating Gwen again.
He still didn't know that Sam Bennett was his fahter. Oh, how she wish she would have told him when they were engaged, it still wouldn't take her pain away though. It could have made it worse but atleast he would have known.
"How could've he thought that was me and that I would actually do something like that." Theresa sobbed. She knew Gwen and Rebecca were behind this scheme.
Every time she heard the name 'Ethan' she cried whether it was at her house or at her special place. She cried until she thought there were no more tears left but everytime some managed to escape.
Everyone found out what happened with Ethan and so everybody when they were around her never spoke of his name. Luis worried about her the most though.
Even though Theresa was his siter, Luis still befriended Ethan. Since he was going with Sheridan, Luis couldn't possibly avoit him.
What Theresa didn't know was that Luis was telling Ethan ever think about how she was acting and what happened everytime someone said his name.
He knew that she cried for him everyday, but still he couldn't bring himself to go see her or try to comfort her.
She finally decided it was time to get up and get dressed. Her mom had let her stay home today because yesterday Erica "Big Mouth" Slazowski kept on babbling about how cute he was and how she wished she could meet him and so on.
She knew veryu little detail aobut EThan and Theresa but she kept talking anyways.
"Lets get yourself together," Theresa scolded herself while looking in the mirror.
Her reflection was absolutley pititful red puffy eyes from crying, a mascara streak down each of her cheeks from the day before, and bloodshot eyes.
She sighed as she put on her black Capri's and baby blue 3/4 quarter button up shirt.
Seh went back to the mirror fixed her hair, washed her face, and put on her make up.
Ethan always told her baby blue looked best on her. " NO..stop thinking about him," she said firmly," but I can't ," she continued sobbing.
~*~*~*~*~*Lopez-Fitzgerald Livingroom~*~*~*~*
"Hey , Ethan come on in man, you don't have to worry she won't be home from school for another three hours." Luis said.
"Ok..I know she hates me, but you do know what happened and I can bring myself to let her explain and tell my her side of the story."Ethan said.
" I don't think it's true she isn't that kind of person Ethan and you know it." Luis said defending his little sister. Anger slowly creeping into his voice and veins but he kept it at bay.
"I don't believe it either, in my heart, but the pictures Luis. How am I suppose to ignore them." he said.
"Ethan I don't want to talk about this right now, she's my sister for goodness sakes."Luis replied .
" I understand, Luis," Ethan said sadly. " Does she know Gwen and I aren't together anymore." he continued.
"She won't let anybody talk to her about you and if you do heaven forbid you better get out her way or she'll go off ." Luis said.
"That's right you told me about her crying." Ethan said shaking his head shamefully.
"Yeah, I have and she doesn't know I told you, so I dont' want you telling her either," Luis said sternly.
"Sir yes, sir!" Ethan said saluting. They both broke out into a fit of laughter.
When their laughter subsided Luis asked, "You want to watch a movie or Tv?"
"Sure..lets see what's on." Ethan exclaimed.
They sat down with some coke, goobers, and a big bowl of cheese popcorn.
'This is There'sas favorite popcorn," Ethan thought sadly.
Ethan snapped out of his thoughts has he heard the TV come on.
"What movie is that?" Ethan as looking at Luis.
" The movie is Ever After ..I happen to love this movie." Luis said redness rising in his cheeks.
"You..Luis 'Bad Boy' Lopez-Fitzgerald likes a chick flick."Ethan commented almost bursting into laughter.
"Hey THeresa got me hooked, this is her favorite movie, but you better not tell Sheridan about this, I'll feel even more embarassed about it." Luis said looking at Ethan.
"Don't worry I won't." Ethan replied absentmindedly his mind drifting to Theresa.
He was remembering Theresa and his first real kiss on the wharf that night. He remembered it like it happened yesterday, and the time in Bermuda when he held her in his arms as they danced. They had the most memorable moment was when Theresa told him she loved him at her prom.
She begged him to say it back. Luis noticed the far away look in Ethan's eyes. He knew he was thinking about his little sister again. Every time he came over or anyone said Theresa's name he went into trance mode. Ethan was torn apart but Theresa was worse, she cried everytime she thought about him. Then he remembered something.
~*~*~*~*Theresa's Room~*~*~*~*
She turned on the radio to wallow in her own sorrow and unhappiness when a sappy love song came on. She listened to it.
When I'm lost in the rain
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way
And when I'm scared
And losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around
And when I'm down you're there
Pushing me to the top
You're always there giving me all you've got
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you
And I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing
'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend
You're always on my side
Giving me faith
That gets me through the night
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
For the arms to be my shelter
Through all the rain
For truth that will never change
For someone to lean on
For a heart I can rely on through anything
For that one who I can run to...
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
I turn to you...

After teh song went off seh couldn't take it anymore she started sobbing again messing up her hair, makeup, and clothes.
"I can't handle this I'm going to go crazy thinking about Ethan." she thought aloud.
"I know what I can do. I'll write him a letter and have Luis give it to him. I heard Luis come in earlier maybe he's still here." She said smiling.
She went to her desk and pulled out some paper and a pen.
"What can I write about? Maybe I should explain, give the reason he didn't let me last time." she said trying to forget about that one faithful night two months ago. So she started her letter.
