Chapter 13
The night Theresa left him was unforgettable, Fox couldn't think straight. He constantly blamed himself for causing her so much pain. All he did was get drunk and stay in his room. It was like he was dead, but he was, without Theresa, he was nothing. How could he even think Danielle could replace his beloved Theresa?
He often sat at the window holding the picture of him and Theresa, and going through the content of his box. It kind of helped ease the pain while looking at things that connected him to Theresa. She had moved out of the mansion the night of the wedding taking all her belongings, and had never once come back.
Plus, Danielle went to jail after her crime and wouldn't be coming out anytime soon. So, here was Nicholas Foxworth Crane, alone. The man who had women calling him every minute of his life just a few years ago. But Theresa had spun his life around, letting him experiencing love. But just when he finally took a grasp at it, he had to make a mistake and screw it all up for the both of them.
_________________________________
After the wedding, Theresa was miserable. All she could think of was Fox. She had given him her heart, but he took it and broke it, telling her he loved her? But all she saw now was a sick two-timing man, someone she had actually loved. He had come over day and night begging her to take him back and forgive him. It had been going on for weeks. And for everyday she didn't answer the door, he sent her a bouquet of flowers. At the beginning, he assumed that Theresa would forgive him. But he knew he was wrong, he had broken her heart, and now she was never going to forgive him. It was his fault. Fox missed her so much, her angelic voice, her beauty, everything. He would die if it meant he could hold her in his arms one last time.
Theresa hated the fact that she couldn't be with Fox anymore. Whenever he came over with flowers, she would run into her room crying. Why couldn't he just leave her alone? Sometimes she sat alone in the dark, listening to soft love songs thinking about him. As much as she tried to get him off her mind, she couldn't. She knew he was sorry, but he had lied. Something she couldn't tolerate. She had trusted him, with her life. What was even worse, what that she had to find out about Danielle the day of wedding. It was a day that you were supposed to cherish and remember forever, oh, she would never forget that day.
Lots of friends had come by like Sheridan,Gwen and Whitney seeing how she was and keeping her company. They all told that maybe Theresa should have a talk with Fox, and discuss everything over. But Theresa was stubborn and refused. Even if he was the last man on the earth, she would have nothing to say to him.
Theresa was sick of staying in Harmony, there were too many horrible memories. She knew what she had to do.
"Hello? May I please reserve one plane ticket to California?"

Fox made his way over to Theresa's house once more praying that today she would talk to him, he had so much he needed to explain, if only she would listen. He was holding another bouquet of flowers and placed it on the front step with the other dozens of roses. He knocked on the door. Surprisingly it opened, he hoped it was Theresa.
"Oh, hello Pilar."
"Fox, It's nice to see you again. How have you been?"
"Not good, I know Theresa doesn't want to see me, but can you please let me in?"
"Fox, I think it's best you leave." she closed the door briskly but he caught it with his hand.
'Please, you know how much I love your daughter."
"Yes, I know, but you decided your future with her."
"Please, I need to talk to her."
"Theresa is not here."
Fox looked at her with a blank expression. Theresa wasn't here? For what he knew, she stayed home all the time and never went out.
"Where is she?"
Pilar didn't answer. Fox began to worry, was there an accident?
"Oh my....Pilar, please tell me nothing happened to Theresa, that she's safe."
"Theresa is fine, but she's not here, and is not planning to come back anytime soon."
"Can you tell me where she is? I really want to talk with her so we can work things out."
"I'm sorry, but I just can't tell you." and she closed the door.
Fox walked back to his car thinking. Where was Theresa? Was Pilar lying, and maybe she was just in her room? No, it didn't seem like it. Otherwise, no one would have opened the door at all. So Fox decided that if there was one person who knew where she was, it was bound to be Theresa's best friend.

Fox called Whitney and she agreed to meet him at the book cafe. He arrived first and got a table, Whitney arrived and Fox called out her name to get her attention. She gave him a small awkward hug because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"So Whitney...I have one question to ask you."
She knew it was about Theresa.
"Do you know where she is?"
Whitney didn't respond.
"You know!...please tell me, I have so many things to talk to her about."
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
"Why? Please, you know how much I love Theresa and I'm deeply sorry that I hurt her."
"I know..but she made me promise that I wouldn't tell you, she's still very upset."
"I understand, but I need her, I can't live without her."
"I want to tell you Fox, I truly do, I know you two belong together but I can't break my promise."
"Please, your the only one who can help me.I need to find her."
"I'm sorry..."
Whitney got up , gave him an apologetic smile and walked out the cafe. Fox banged the table hard with his fist causing people to stare at him. But he didn't care, the once chance he had to get Theresa back in his life didn't work. What else would?
____________________________
Months passed and there was no sign of Theresa, Fox was miserable, he missed her so badly. Everyday he would call Pilar and Whitney hoping that they would tell him where she was, but they refused. He tried to find her by himself but it was no use, the world was so big and there wasn't a lot of him to go around. Finally he gave up, there was basically no point. He had tried as much as he could to find her but it seemed like maybe ....just maybe, this was the way things were supposed to end up. Fox was supposed to suffer the way he caused Theresa pain.
He wasn't blaming anything on Theresa for her not wanting him anymore, it was his fault for keeping such an important part of his life from her. He wasn't the same anymore, he cared so much more for the world. He learned his lesson. If Theresa and him were meant to be, they would find their way back to each other.

Fox was driving in his car back from his holiday in Florida. He stopped at a red light and glanced at the car beside him, seeing a gorgeous woman. He checked his reflection in the mirror smoothing his hair one last time before turning on the charm.
"Hey gorgeous, this isn't heaven, what's an angel like you doing here?" he grinned proud of his line.
The woman glanced at him and her eyes shot up in shock. Fox was equally surprised because she seemed familar. The light turned green and the woman drove away before he could say another word. He didn't drive off, he stayed right in the middle of the road hearing the cars honk him from behind.
Suddenly it was clear.
"Theresa.........."
