The Morning After
(Gwen and Ethan's room)
"What was all the noise last night Ethan?" Gwen asked.
"I don't know," Ethan told her.
"I can't believe we have to live under one roof with them…especially Theresa," Gwen sighed.
"Honey I know you hate it but please try to relax yourself. The last thing we need is more stress upon yourself."
"I'm sorry. I know. Once we see Dr. Abel today, I'll feel more relieved."
"Good. I hope he's as amazing as Mother thinks he is," Ethan said.
"Same here. Our mothers were so eager to put us on that plane," Gwen said.
"I know. But I am glad we are here, despite the fact that we're living with my brother and Theresa…"
"Yeah. But this is just temporarily, right sweetie? AS soon as Fox fixes the rat problem and the water system, we'll be fine." Gwen said, more to herself rather than Ethan.
"The sooner the better. In fact, I'll talk to Fox about it."
(In the kitchen)
"Ugh, I still feel horrible. Hand me some aspirin please," Theresa groaned.
"Here," Fox handed her two tablets. "I hope you've learned your lesson dearest Theresa," He smirked.
"Shut up," She scolded him.
"I gotta go to a meeting with my assistant. I'll be back in a couple of hours, think you can take care of yourself?" He asked, rubbing her shoulder.
"I'll try…if not I'll call Whitney up on her cell. She said she was gonna go to the studio with Chad or something," She sighed.
"The studio?" Fox asked. Maybe I can convince her to come with me for the day and let Chad do his "work".
"Yeah…"
"I'll call to check up on you once in a while," Fox assured her.
"If I don't pick up, it's signifies I'm dead," Theresa groaned and plopped her head on the table.
"Want me to carry you back to your room?" Fox asked, concerned about Theresa.
"No, no. Go or you're going to be late," She insisted.
"You sure?" He asked again.
"Positive! Now leave before I change my mind," She said.
"Fine, fine. I'll see you later," Fox said and went out the door. Theresa sat at the table for a few minutes until Ethan walked into the kitchen.
"Theresa?" He asked.
"Eh?" She said, lifting her head. "Ethan?"
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"I'm fine…just a little hangover from last night," She said.
"You look terrible." He stated.
"Don't remind me," She sighed. I can't let Ethan see me looking like filth.
"Is Fox here?" He asked.
"Actually he just left 5 minutes ago," She told him.
"I wanted to ask him if he had sent anybody to fix our apartment."
"I'm not sure. You can call him," She suggested.
"Oh well. I guess I'll try later."
"Ok…"
"You need anything?" He asked. I need you. Ethan's being generous…that's why I love him so much.
"No but thank you for asking," Theresa said.
"Don't worry about it. Well tell him what I said when you see him today. Gwen and I might be gone the whole day," Ethan informed her.
"The whole day? Where?" Theresa asked.
"We're going to go see a specialist for Gwen's pregnancy," Ethan told her.
"Oh. A specialist?"
"Yeah, for Gwen's condition. We want everything to go smoothly until the end."
"Good Luck to Gwen and the baby," Theresa sincerely wished.
"Thank you Theresa," Ethan said.
"Well I think I'm gonna go back to bed. I'll see you later," Theresa said, getting up from the table and walking to her room. It's repulsive for a mother to ever wish anything horrible upon another mother and that's the reason why I'm wishing Ethan and Gwen the best of luck to their baby. As much as I want to be with Ethan, I don't want any harm done to their baby. I don't have the heart or the will to want to do it.
Theresa seemed actually… normal just then... Maybe she's finally given up on trying to take me away from Gwen. However, for some apparent reason, I don't feel relieved…Ethan thought to himself.
(At the studio)
"Syd, that was amazing," Chad said after hearing Syd sing another song.
"Yeah, it was…" Whitney said slowly.
"Thank you," Syd smiled.
"Well you said you wrote a new song…let me hear it," Chad suggested.
"Actually, I was thinking that I can learn that one song your were talking about the other day…" Syd said.
"Oh. Ok then, but I haven't finished it…"
"Can I take a look at it?" She asked.
"Yeah sure," Chad agreed as he rummaged through the piles of paper on this desk. "Here it is,"
"Thanks." Syd looked over the piece of paper, humming the melody softly.
'I can probably help you with it…" Syd offered.
"Really? That would be…cool…" Chad said.
"We should start on it now, shouldn't we?" Syd asked, still giving Chad that smile of hers.
"Yeah…" Chad complied. "I'll just need to talk to Whitney for a moment,"
"Sure. I'll be in the other room." Syd said.
"Baby, I'm sorry." Chad apologized.
"NO, it's fine. I know it's part of your job," Whitney said.
"I don't know how long I'll be here…you sure you want to stay?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, yeah." Whitney nodded. Just then Fox entered the room.
"Fox?" Chad asked, surprised to see him here.
"Hey," Fox smiled, attentively staring at Whitney.
"What brings you here?" Chad asked.
"Well I just got back from a meeting with my assistant and Theresa mentioned something about Whitney being here with you…so I decided that instead of having Whitney bored out of her mind while you work with Syd, I thought I'd take her away…" Fox said. "If I have your permission, that is."
"You know, you should go with Fox," Chad said to Whitney.
"But I came here to be with you," Whitney said.
"I know but who knows how long Syd and I are going to be working. You might as well have more fun with Fox," Chad told her.
"You sure you don't want me here?" She asked, rubbing his arms.
"Positive. It could get pretty tedious here. I don't want you to be bored out of your mind."
"Ok then. I guess I'll see you later back at the apartment?" She asked.
"Uh-huh. I'll call you as soon as I can, baby." Chad kissed her on the cheek.
"Bye," She kissed him back.
"Shall we get going then?" He asked.
"Yeah," Whitney said softly, as she looked back at Chad talking to Syd.
It's working. I've finally gotten Whitney away from Chad. She and I will finally be able to spend some quality time with one another. My brilliant plan is coming into existence…soon enough, you will be mine Whitney.
