Chapter 5
He had been stirring and shifting positions in his bed for most of the night when he finally gave up. He looked up at his alarm and it was almost midnight.
*I can't get any sleep. No woman has ever troubled my thoughts like Theresa. *
Since he wasn't going to get any sleep anytime soon Fox turned on the radio. A song had just ended and another one was starting. This wasn't the kind of music Fox usually listened to but he let it play. He found the melody of the piano soothing and then the singer began to sing.
There's so much life
I've left to live
And this fire's burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find a way
To stand for every dream
And forsake this solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
I'm in love with you
'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance, to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
I know
I can't survive another night away from you
You're the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there's no better time
From this fear, I will break free
And I'll live again with love
And know they can't take that away from me
And they will see... yeah
(I'd surrender everything)
To feel the chance, to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'll make you give them all to me
I'll hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Every night's getting longer
And this fire's getting stronger baby
I'll swallow my pride
And I'll be alive
Can't you hear my call?
I surrender all...
(I'll surrender everything)
(To feel the chance, to live again)
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'll make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'll make you give them all to me
I'll hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Right here, right now
I'd give my life to live again
I'll break free
Take me, my everything
I surrender all to you
(Right now)
Right now
(I'd give my life to live again)
I'd give my life
(I'll break free, Take me)
Take me, take me
(My everything)
My everything
(I surrender all to you, right now)
Right now
(I'd give my life to live again)
I'd give my life to you baby
I'll break free, yeah free
When the song ended Fox knew this was how he felt about Theresa but he wasn't ready to let her know that just yet, maybe never. He knew she was still in love with Ethan and that she would never get over him. It would be too hard for him to admit out loud that he loved her when he knew she couldn't return her feelings. It was already hard because he already knew the truth.
* I guess we could just stay friends for now, but I'll try my best to make her forget about Ethan and if it's the last thing I do, I'll succeed. * He thought to himself before he finally drifted off to sleep.

There they sat on Theresa's bed. Fox was looking at her. She turned towards him and smiled.
"Fox, I love you."
" I love you too, beautiful."
" I can't believe I ever wasted my time on Ethan."
"Don't worry bout it. You have me now."
" Yes." she said as she passionately kissed him.
He pulled her down on the bed on top of him and they declared their love for each other until the morning came.

Fox woke up and when he saw that Theresa wasn't by his side he realized it was all a dream.
