** Please R&R you guys! And by the way, this story takes place EIGHT years
after the last chapter b/c I wanted to speed things up a bit. So, to answer
some questions: Theresa was 10 in the past chapters and we'll make Fox 11
in the past chapters. Enjoy! This chapter is quite long so it will continue
in another upload. **
Chapter 5: Years Past
It had been eight years since Fox left that Christmas and there was no doubt that he and Theresa were the best of friends, except that Whitney was Theresa's best gal pal. Ethan and Gwen had been pretty much the same with Gwen being the wisher of the relationship and Ethan just along for the ride. Throughout, the years though, Fox stopped writing and Theresa stopped calling because of the cost of long distance. Fox hadn't come home in years because his parents really didn't care about him or his sisters. ** Theresa's Diary Entry One Day ** December 27th Dear Diary,
It's been officially been eight years since Fox was here. I miss him so much. We weren't ever officially together so I guess its safe to say that there has kind of been this love triangle b/w Ethan, Gwen and I. I think he kind of finds me a scapegoat from Gwen. I miss Fox. I still have that stupid calling card that I ran out within a day after he left. I'm guessing he never new stationary b/c he hasn't written back in quite some time. My graduation is coming up soon and Whit and I debating how to do our hair for the day. Paloma left this past September; she got some time of art scholarship to some big school down south. It's late and I'm tired, I'll write again sometime soon. Love Always, Theresa.
** Plane Trip **
"Yea Dyl, I'll call you when I get home, I'm about to land. OK, bye. Wait, hold on, Ally wants to say something."
Fox handed Ally the phone, it was his best friend, Dylan. Him and Ally had been going pretty steady for the past eight years. They were practically married and it made Fox sick. Fox couldn't wait to get home and drop everything and go see Theresa. He missed her so much. He wondered what she had been doing all these years. He stopped daydreaming when Ally was poking the cell phone into his waist yelling at him to take the phone back.
The plane landed. Fox could feel his heart racing. He closed his eyes and whispered her name, "Theresa. Theresa." He opened his eyes and looked out the window of the limo. " I'm coming to see you babe." ** Whitney's house **
Theresa and Whitney were sitting on the bed trying hairstyles on each other for graduation, which was a couple of days away.
"Ouch! Whitney be careful!" "Oops! Sorry Resa! They laughed and Theresa closed her eyes to think of the one thing she wanted the most. happiness. "There. Done. My turn Resa, this time try an up-do. Theresa? Theresa? Hello! Earth to Theresa!" "Oh, sorry Whit. Okay, an up-do, let's try this." ** Crane Estate ** (A/N: I'm getting tired of writing Theresa with an "H" in it b/c Hispanics don't spell it that way so from now on its: Teresa.)
Fox and his sisters walked into the parlor/living room in the estate: "It doesn't look like much has changed, huh Fox?" asked Ally. Fox was looking around, "Nah, not much."
He sat down with Ally who was a year ahead in her studies and had just graduated with Fox. He knew that they were both thinking where everyone was. Just then Julian walked in. "Foxworth, Allison, always a pleasure." Ally stood up and stopped her father in his tracks, "Where were you father? Huh? I graduated top of my class with accelerated honors and was the youngest of 325 kids. Where were you and mother?" Julian was taken aback. Allison had never talked like this to him. Fox stood up and kissed Ally on the cheek and told her that she could have father for the evening and walked out of the room.
Fox walked across the estate to the place where Teresa's home was and it wasn't there. "That's odd. I know it was here." He looked around and saw another house and knocked on the door. A young guy answered the door, "Hi can I help you?" Fox looked at him, "Um, yea, is this Teresa's place?" The young guy looked at him, "Depends. Who are you?" Fox felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm Fox Crane. Is Teresa here?" The guy looked at him, "Fox! Oh my word! It's me, Miguel, Teresa's younger brother." "Wow dude! You've grown!" They laughed and Miguel let him in to sit. "Teresa should be home any minute, but you can wait for her."
"Thanks, um, do you mind if I wait in her room?" Miguel smiled at Fox and said, "Yeah, go ahead, but try anything with her and I'll kill you." "Yea, yea, Miguel, you're a natural Luis in training." They heard a car pull up and Fox went into Teresa's room where Miguel showed him.
Miguel was sitting on the couch when Teresa walked in. "Hey sweetie. I'm going to bed, love you." She kissed Miguel on the cheek and walked towards her room when Miguel said that mama would be home late because Julian had too much brandy that night. She opened her door and flicked the light switch, but the light wasn't coming on. She shouted from her room, "Miguel, get me a light bulb! This one's out." Miguel laughed and ignored her. Just then someone grabbed Teresa from behind and she screamed. Miguel said to himself, "She wasn't expecting that."
