Ok here is chapter 3. Sorry it took so long to put up, but I have been busy with school lately. Any way here it is, and like always PLEASE read and review.

**NOTE** This story is set to be during December in a year or so in our time. Also Miguel is not living with the Bennett's, he and the Lopez Fitzgerald's live in the Crane mansion with Theresa. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Theresa and Kay got back to the mansion they sat down in the living room and started to talk.

" Theresa I cant thank you enough for this, I mean if it wasn't for you I would still be sitting in the park alone crying."

" Kay, I told you that you didn't have to thank me. I know what it feels like to love someone so much , that you would do anything to make them love you back. I always thought that you and Miguel belonged together. Back when you were children, you two did everything together. You were best friends, and best friends always make the best couples. You and him have a history, not like him and Charity had. And now this 'Laura' girl doesn't stand a chance. As you know I believe in fate, and I know that fate will play a major part in this plan to help you get Miguel. Not to mention my assistance in this plan."

Theresa's smile turned into a frown when she saw the worried look Kay gave her.

" Now what's wrong?"

" Well I don't want to sound mean, but you usually wind up losing Ethan in the end. Who's to say that I wont loose Miguel?"

" The only reason that I never got Ethan, which by the way I will, is because I never had any support. I mean mama and Whitney were always against me going after him, but I knew that fate would bring us together. If I would have listened to them from the beginning I would have never met Ethan. I know he still loves me and I'm going to prove it. I have faith that fate will take over and I will have Ethan, and you will have Miguel."

" But Theresa-

" No buts. You have to think positive. I am positive I am going to get Ethan, and you have to be positive about Miguel."

" Okay, Okay. I'll be positive."

"Good. Now we have to start planning for the party."

" What party?"

" Well more like a ball. Tomorrow night I am throwing a Christmas ball right her at the mansion."

" Since when?"

" Since I thought of it 5 minutes ago. This is going to be the perfect way to help you get Miguel."

" How do you figure?"

" Well I plan to invite him and his new girl friend 'Lara'."

" How dose that help me?"

" You'll see. Right now I want you to go home and get a good nights sleep, because tomorrow is all about shopping."

" Wait a minute Theresa what do you mean shopping?"

" Tomorrow we are going to go shopping for the perfect gown for tomorrow night. We don't even have to leave the mansion, the shopping will come to us."

" Are you sure that's going to be okay with Julian and Alister?"

" Who cares. I am Mrs Julian Crane, and if I want to buy my friend a new gown then I will. Besides what they don't know wont hurt them."

" Alright, if you say so."

" Well I do. I'm going to go upstairs take a long hot relaxing bath, and then go to sleep. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."

" Yeah we sure do."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Later that night at the Bennett house everything was quiet. Kay had went straight to sleep after she got home from the mansion. Jessica was spending the night at Simone's and Sam and Grace were asleep. All the lights in the house were out, except the one in Charity's bedroom. She was sitting on her bed crying looking through old pictures of her and Miguel.

" Why did he do this to me god? I thought he loved me. How could someone just get sick of a person like that?"

She was looking at a picture taken over a year ago of them sitting in the Lopez Fitzgerald living room cuddled next to each other. She just sat there staring at it until she finally spoke.

" We were so happy, so in love. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. What am I saying? No Miguel loves you, I know he does, and I'm not going to let him get away. I'm going to do what ever it takes to make him love me again. He will see that we are soul mates."
