~*~*~*Chapter 2~*~*~*
~*~*~*Lopez-Fitzgerald Living Room~*~*~*~*
"OhMyGod!" Luis muttered to himself. " Theresa's here . She didn't go to school today because of what's her face said yesterday about Ethan." he said quietly to where Ethan couldn't hear him.
He scolded himself How could I have forgotten?
If she comes out what will happen with her and Ethan?
Oh ..lord I better think of something and fast.
Ethan and Luis were so caught up in their thoughts that they didn't hear Pilar come in.
"Hijo...I'm ho..Ethan," Pilar gasped.
She was about to grab Luis and tell him to get Ethan out of here, but before she had the chance she heard a sob coming from Theresa's room.
She looked at Ethan to see if he had heard it luckily he hadn't so she went to check on Theresa to make sure she didn't come out and to see how she was doing.
~*~*~*Theresa's room~*~*~*
KNOCK KNOCK
"Hija, It's me, "Pilar said softly through the door."Can I come in?" she continued.
"Sure..mama," Theresa said wiping her tears so Pilar couldnt' see them.
When her mom came in she tried to act like seh wasn't crying but to no avail, her mom knew her better than she thought.
"Are you doing ok?" Pilar asked soothingly and going to sit beside Theresa on her bed.
"I'll be fine...It just hurts so bad mama! You do know how I feel don't you?" Theresa asked.
"I felt the same way when your papa disappeared, but I had to be strong for you kids. It still hurts when I think about him , but I'm getting along." Pilar said.
"I'm sorry about papa," Theresa said looking at Pilar.
" Oh..sweetie it's not your fault." Pilar replied.
"Do you think writing to EThan and trying to explain that those pictures were never taken and that never happened. Do you think he'll believe me? I really miss him. I feel so lost. Help me, What am I going to do?" Theresa cried clinging to her mother.
"If it makes you feel more at peace, when you tell him it wasn't you. I believe you..Hijma, but Ethan has been disappointed one to many times in the past he has that seed of doubt in him." Pilar said truthfully.
"Thanks Mama. I haven't told you this, but maybe if I wouldn't have been gone that weekend to have his suprise birthday party planned he wouldn't have had any doubts. I think Rebecca and Gwen..NO I KNOW Rebecca and Gwen were behind this. " Theresa said venom lacing through her usually sof and caring voice.
"All things happen for a reason even if we don't know what it is. You never know god could be testing your love for each other." Pilar said.
"It happened because all the things Iv'e did to him in the past to get him. Fate is punishing me for it. I guess our love wasn't as strong as I thought if he doesn' t want to even listen to me." Theresa replied sadly hoping that Ethan could forgive her, if not make her his wife at least believe her and become friends again.
"Theresita, I don't think that's true at all. You and Ethan's love is as strong as they come It's just like I mentioned before he's been disappointed and hurt so much in the past he believe's he'll be hurt again, even if he doesn' t mean to." Pilar said trying to calm her daughter.
"Mama Does Ethan ever mention me?" Theresa asked fearing her Mother's answer. Pilar hesistated and debated whether she should tell her.
"Should I tell her? All he ever does is ask how seh is, but Luis always tells him anyway and he doesn't do anything about it."Pilar thought so she didn't tell theresa nothing about how Ethan has been asking about her it will just hurt alot worse to know he asks but doesn't bother to tray adn talk to her.
Theresa panicked." He doesn't really care." Theresa said as a fresh batch of tears gathered in her eyes. She saw her mom hesitating, he couldn't think about me or mama wouldn't she? Theresa questioned herself.
"Hija..Ethan," Pilar started but Thersa put up her hand silencing her mom.
"Mama..if Ethan doesn't think about me, don't tell me, I don't want to know. Lets just not mention him anymore like we were doing. I will just keep thinking he does and just leave it at that." Theresa said.
