~Chapter 9~
As I was getting ready to get married, I wasn't nervous at all. When my mother came in talk to me I was gleaming. "Theresa you look beautiful. Ethan is so lucky to have you. Even though I'm happy for you, I just can't believe you're not going to be at home every night in your bed. I feel like I'm losing my little girl." "Oh, mama, you not losing me. I'll always be your little girl and hey you're even gaining another son." "Theresa, you are leaving but I know you will always be my little girl and your right I'm gaining the son I've always had." I smiled. "You really have always loved Ethan like a son haven't you. Well at least Ethan isn't getting the horrible mother-in-law. He's getting one who loves him. But mama can you please not cry. I want you to be very happy." "I am Theresa. I'm very happy." She then hugged me. "Luis is waiting outside for you. He's very nervous. I think he'll miss you a lot when you leave." "No, he won't he'll be glad he doesn't have to watch over me any more." "Theresa, you don't know Luis at all. Look I'm going to go sit down and you go and talk to Luis."
After my mother left the room, I walked out to where my brother was. He turned around and looked at me and smiled, "Theresa you look beautiful." He looked like he was about to cry. "Luis are you all right?" "Oh, I'm fine. I can't believe you're actually marring Ethan Crane. Haven't you learned anything from living with me?" I smiled. I didn't know how to tell him that I learned a lot from him. "Luis, I learned more things from you that I'll sure I'll ever learn from anyone in my life." "What? Very funny Theresa." "I'm not joking. When you took over Dad's role in the house and started being my father. You taught me about responsibility. The way that you cared so much about what I did even thought you showed very loudly helped me to show how to love my family. Another thing I learned is hope to love a Crane." He looked at me and laughed. "When did I teach you that?" "Every time you were with Sheridan. I know you never will admit but you love her." He smiled. "Just because you love a Crane doesn't mean I do." "Like I said you'll never admit it. I would at least think after living me with I would have taught you how to admit your feelings. " "Theresa, I can't admit feelings I don't have." "Oh Luis, I'm going to miss how stubborn you are." "You'll still see me, Theresa and I'll always be stubborn." I laughed. "But it won't be the same. I'll be living in the mansion and you'll be in the house." "But you can still visit. You can come over when ever you want." "And you can too." He laughed again. "I wouldn't be in the Crane house under any circumstance." I laughed and then I hugged him. He hugged me back. "Luis, you the best big brother/father a girl could ever have." "And Theresa you're the best little sister a guy could ever have."
I think we both would have started crying if the "Here Comes the Bride" won't have started to play. "You ready?" Luis asked. "Of course I've been waiting for this my whole life." "Ok." Then he started to walk me down the aisle. As we were walking I couldn't help but worry and I didn't know why. I brushed it off and kept walking when, I heard a gunshot. Then it hit me. I fell to the floor I had never felt this much pain in my life. The bullet went right into my heart. I was bleeding everywhere's. Luis and Ethan were next to me. I heard Luis yell to Sam to chase the guy. My head was now in Ethan's lap. He was looking at me. "Theresa, don't leave you can't I love you too much." I knew in my heart that all I wanted was to have him love me but before I was to leave I wanted to be Mrs. Theresa Lopiz-Fitgerald Crane. I whispered to him. "Marry me." Miguel heard me and went and got the priest. He came over. He was nerve's and not sure about doing this. But Miguel looked him in the eye. "Marry her now! She's dying her can't you see that! The least you could do is grant her last wish." I had never seem Miguel lose his temper before. "Ok, Ladies and gentlemen, we are gather here to day to unite Ethan Crane and Theresa Lopiz-Fitgerald in hold matrimony. If there is anyone among us who…" I whispered. "Can you just skip that part." "Ok, do you Ethan Crane take Theresa Lopiz-Fitgerald to be your lawfully wedded wife to…" "I do." He looked deep and my eyes. Then priest turned to me. "And do you Theresa Lopiz-Fitgerald take Ethan Crane to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I took all I had to say I do. Then Chad handed Ethan the ring; he slipped it on my finger saying, "Theresa, you're the girl I always wanted and I love you with a love, I never had before." Then Whitney gave me my ring. I slipped it on his finger and tried to say I love him and that I always will but I didn't have enough energy to say it. Then Ethan kissed me and everything went black.
