CHAPTER EIGHT
Theresa paced the floor at Fox's house. She nervously wrung her hands as she rethought Ethan and Gwens murder. If the police find out it was her, what would they do? She nervously swallowed. She'd probably be put to death! Why hadn't she thought of that before? "Oh my God! I'm going to die!" Theresa blurted out.
"What? What are you talking about Theresa?" Fox asked as he ran over to her. He looked at her and reasurred her saying, "Oh, I see what it is. Look Theresa," he said holding her arms, "I know that you loved Ethan and now he's gone but I'm here for you, I can protect you too. Always remember that."
"No Fox! You don't understand! I-" she started to say but Fox cut her off.
"No, I do understand Theresa. Everything is going to be ok. I promise." Fox whispered. "Drink this." he said handing her a glass of wine.
Theresa flashed him a thankful smile and quickly drank down the wine. Her hands began to shake and she dropped the glass. It crashed to the floor and broke into pieces. It reminded her of the shots she fired at Ethan and Gwen the other night- when she killed them. "NO!" she screamed. "I'm so sorry Ethan! I just had to do it! I had do!" she began to sob.
Fox quickly bent down and threw away the shreds of glass. He walked back over to Theresa and held her. "Shh. Its going to be ok. We'll find whoever did this, and when we do they'll get the lethal injection." he said confidently.
Theresa felt that she was going to have a breakdown. What would Fox think of her when he found out that she had killed him? She couldn't bear to see the rejection in his eyes, just like she saw in Ethan's. Most importantly, what would her family think? Her mother would probably no longer think of her as her own daughter. Tears poured down Theresa's face and she violently shook.
"I'll always be here for you Theresa. I love you so much." Fox whispered. He didn't realize that he told Theresa that he loved her until after he said it. He pulled Theresa away and stared into her eyes. "I mean it Theresa. I love you." he said.
"Fox-" Theresa said.
"I know, it might be a little to soon for you but its something that I've been wanting to say to you for a long time." he said.
Theresa's eyes refilled with tears. "You won't love anymore after you realize what I've done." she whispered.
"Ok Theresa. You've been acting weird about this whole Ethan thing. What happened?" he asked.
"Fox, I-" Theresa was interrupted by a knock on Fox's door. She sighed, mad at whoever was at the door for interrupting her when she was about to tell Fox that she killed Ethan.
Fox opened the door and in came Chief Bennett and Luis. "Oh God. They know it was me." Theresa whispered to herself as she looked nervously at them.
"Fox. Theresa." Chief Bennett said greeting them.
Theresa forced a smile and bit her bottom lip. Luis walked over and gave her a quick hug. "I'm so sorry sis."
"Its ok." Theresa squeaked.
"How can I help you?" Fox asked.
"We wanted to know if you know anything about the murder of my son and Gwen." Sam said.
"No, I don't." Fox said. "But Theresa might, after all she was dating Ethan."
Theresa began to shake as Luis and Chief Bennett faced her. "Do you know of anything?" Chief Bennett asked her.
"N-n-o." Theresa stuttered hiding her shaking hands behind her back.
Chief Bennett smiled. "Well, thats all. I promise I'll keep you updated when we find any evidence at the scene." he said and Luis and Sam walked out of the door.
Theresa took in a deep breath. That was a very close call.
Fox turned around and faced Theresa. "Now," he began to say, "What were you about to tell me?"
That I killed Ethan and Gwen Theresa thought. "Oh God! Oh God! I killed them! I murdered them! I didn't mean to! I wasn't think!" she screamed.
"Theresa?" Fox asked questionably, taking a step towards her. He knew that she wasn't telling the truth, she couldn't be. He knew Theresa was a sweet person who didn't have it in her to kill anyone.
As Fox took a step toward her Theresa pushed past him and ran out the door. She had to catch up with Chief Bennett and Luis. She had to tell them what she had done. They were just getting ready to pull off when they say Theresa running widly towards them. "Wait!" she yelled. "I do know about Ethan and Gwen's murder!"
Sam and Luis quickly got out of the car and walked towards her, waiting for what she had to say.
Oh God, I'm about tell them. What have I gotten myself into? Theresa thought. She gulped and looked up at Sam and Luis. She was about to tell them the truth.
