Chapter 2- Dispute
It was bright and early the next day and Theresa finally woke up. Today is the beginning of my new life.without Ethan. She thought to herself. She got out of bed, took a shower and got dressed. She heard a knock on the door. "Come in" she said. Fox walked in. He saw her dressed in blue jeans and a cute shirt with her hair in a clip.
"You look nice." He said. "Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself." She replied. "So, what have you got planned today?" he asked her. "Nothing, really." She said. "Well then would you like to join me?" he asked. "Join you where?" "I was planning on going to the Book Café." He replied. "Well, I'd love to join you." She replied.
They walked downstairs together, arm in arm, when someone saw them and wasn't too happy.
"Get your arm away from her, Fox!" Ethan yelled.
"Well, if it isn't my half-bro." Fox said, not letting go of Theresa's arm.
"I'm serious, Fox. Get the hell away from her. Or else-" "Or else what?" Fox interrupted him. "Or else you'll finish a sentence?"
"I told you the night you got back to stay the hell away from Theresa."
"Ethan, why don't you mind your own damn business?" Fox yelled.
"Theresa is my business! You shouldn't go anywhere near her!" He yelled. Wait.did I really just say that? Ethan thought to himself. I proposed to Gwen, I married Gwen, Gwen is the one pregnant with my child. Then why did I just say that?
Theresa hadn't said anything as the two half brothers went at it; however, when she heard Ethan say this, she had to step in. Oh my god! He chose Gwen over me and then he has the nerve to say that! She thought.
"Since when am I your business, Ethan?" she said, not at all hiding her anger. "Don't you remember? You chose Gwen! You married Gwen! So, where do you get the nerve to choose who can come near me?" Ethan and Fox were surprised by what had just come out of Theresa's mouth. Go Theresa! Fox thought. "Theresa I-I" Ethan stammered.
"You what, Ethan?" Theresa said.
"I'm sorry."
"Ethan, it took me what seemed like forever to get over you. You and everyone else told me I should move on and forget about ever having a life with you because it wasn't going to happen. And now, that's what I'm doing and you're trying to stop me!"
"Theresa, I was just trying to protect you. Even though we can never be together the way you want us to -" He started to say.
"Excuse me? The way I want us to?" Theresa interrupted. "Don't you mean the way I wanted us to? Weren't you listening to anything I just said? I said I am moving on."
"Theresa, I just meant I still care about you." Ethan said.
"I know, Ethan. Just care about me a little less, please." Theresa said. Wow. I can't believe she just said that. Fox thought. Maybe she really is over Ethan. Maybe she really is ready to move on.
"Fox, let's go now." Theresa said. "Gladly" So Fox and Theresa walked arm in arm out of the door.
Oh my goodness. Ethan thought. Maybe I really have lost her.
