Now, On to the Story^_^
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
There was a lot of traffic out for this time of night in Harmony. Fox and Theresa were yet again in a long line of cars wanting to go places.
"Do you mind if I turn on the radio?" Theresa asked Fox.
Fox smiled. "No, not at all."
Theresa leaned forward and turned the radio on. Flipping through channels, she heard a song she liked and stopped. The silence in the night air was replaced by the words of the song.
~"Hard days made me hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they call nothing
I take what I want, take what I need
You say its wrong but its right for me
I won't look down won't say I'm sorry
I know that only god can judge me
And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same?"~
'It's strange how much this song applies to me' Theresa thought in her mind.
~"Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
Its me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
No one in this industry
Understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past
It's not a gimmick not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is
But when I see them on the street
They got nothin to say"~
Fox looked over at Theresa. There was something about her face that changed while she listened to the song. It was almost as if she was in a trance.
~ "And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same?
Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
I'm troublesome I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, now, I don't care"~
Theresa reached out and turned off the radio. Her mind was filled with a million thoughts. The one that stuck out the most, was the one she wanted answered the most. 'Have I really lost Ethan?' she pondered in her mind.
Fox turned his attention back to driving. He felt sorry for Theresa and everything that she had been going through. She seemed so distant at times, like in a far away place that no one could quite reach. Deep down, he knew it was because of Ethan. Everything Theresa did revolved around Ethan. How she could still love him after everything he had done to her, he had no idea. Ethan had left her twice for Gwen, and yet she still loved him. A man that could so easily push her out of his life. In a way, he felt sorry for Ethan. Anyone stupid enough to give up Theresa, must have serious issues.
Fox was broken out of his thoughts when he heard Theresa move around.
"Are you okay?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied with a forced smile.
Fox nodded. He turned the car into the parking lot of the Blue Note.
He looked over at Theresa, who didn't seem to notice that they were there.
"Theresa, are you sure you're okay?" he asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Theresa jumped at the touch of the warmth of his hand against her skin.
"Uh, yea, I'm fine, I was just thinking. Sorry," she said, a pink hue crossing her tear stricken cheeks.
Fox patted her on the back. "Cheer up, Resa. Everything is going to be fine. It's not the end of the world ya know."
Theresa looked up into his eyes. "For me it is Fox. I mean, what if Ethan meant it this time? What if he really doesn't love me?" she asked, holding back tears.
Fox smiled gently. "Theresa, any man that would give you up to be with Gwen, doesn't deserve you."
Theresa reached out and hugged Fox. "Thank you, Fox," she said, quietly.
"Anytime," he said, hugging her back.
"Why don't we go in and have some fun?" he said once the hug had ended.
Theresa smiled. "I would like that. I would like that a lot."
Theresa was about to get out, when Fox stopped her.
"Let me," he said, getting out and opening the door for her.
Theresa blushed. "You're such the gentleman, Fox."
Fox smirked. "I guess there's a first for everything."
"I mean it. You really are, Fox," she said seriously.
"Thanks Theresa," he said smiling at her.
Theresa smiled back, as they walked to the door of the Blue Note.

Dr. Russell came running with Ethan back to Gwen's hospital room.
"What's wrong with her? Is she going to be okay?" Rebecca asked urgently as Eve entered the room.
"I don't yet, Rebecca. Would you two please go out into the waiting room?" she asked.
Rebecca was about to oppose but Ethan pulled her out into the waiting room with him, just as the nurses entered.
Eve walked over to Gwen and looked at her monitors. "Oh dear, this isn't good," she told one of the nurses.
Gwen looked up in panic. "What's wrong?........ARGHHHHHHH," she screamed out.
The nurses looked on worriedly. "Her blood pressure has sky rocketed!" one of the nurses told Dr. Russell.
Eve nodded. "Yes I know."
Turning to Gwen she said, "You have got to try and calm down! If you don't, you will lose this baby."
One of the nurses entered with a needle. Dr. Russell picked it up, and injected a clear fluid into Gwen's arm. Gwen's screams became lighter and lighter.
"You went into false labor Gwen. Next time you might not be so lucky! You HAVE to stay calm. Whatever you do, you cannot let your blood pressure rise anymore than it already is," Dr. Russell explained to Gwen.
She nodded, and Dr. Russell went out to get Ethan and Rebecca.
"Is my Gwennie alright?" Rebecca asked worriedly.
"For the moment, she is. You have to make sure she stays calm, or next time, she won't be as lucky, and I mean that," Eve said, before she walked off.
Rebecca rushed back into Gwen's room, leaving the curtain open.
Ethan just stood there for a moment, before going in.
"Theresa, honey, are you okay?" he said going up to Gwen.
Gwen gasped in shock, as did Rebecca.
"What?" he asked.
Gwen reached up and slapped him.
"You called me Theresa!" she yelled angrily.
Gwen's blood pressure started to rise.
"How dare you Ethan! HOW DARE YOU!" she screamed.
Rebecca noticed the rapid change in Gwen's blood pressure.
'What if he did that on purpose just so she would lose the baby and he could be with Theresa?' Rebecca wondered.
"If Gwen loses this baby, it won't be Theresa's fault, it'll be Ethan's" she said to herself.
"Gwen you HAVE to stay calm! Ethan is only doing this so that you will lose the baby and so he can go back to Theresa!" Rebecca said.
Gwen gasped.
"Is that True Ethan? IS it?" she yelled.
