Chapter 18
Seeds Of Doubt
Dylan walked down the hall he was going to see Theresa, he'd been by the hospital 2 to 3 times daily.
"Where do you think you're going ?", Fox asked grabbing Dylan's arm.
"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm going to see the beautiful Theresa.", he replied.
"Why ? You hardly know her and she's married to me, so what could you and Theresa possibly have in common ?", he asked.
"I don't know, maybe Theresa wants to be showed a goodtime and who could much blame her. ", Dylan replied.
"Your definition of a goodtime being getting drunk, smoking pot and shooting heroine. I'll be damn if I let you stray Theresa down the same life you lead.", Fox replied.
"Ha, that's funny, you've did the same thing to a lot of girls, get them high as a kite just to get a little push - push off of them. Don't play innocent with me, I know you better than Theresa or anyone ever will.", he replied.
"Yeah, you probably did, but I've changed a lot since those days, I've figured out what life really is about. Drinking and the Night life is nothing compared to what I've got now. Nothing in this world compares to the feelings I have for Theresa.", he replied.
"Do you know how pathetic you sound ? God, it isn't like you've know her all that long and more than likely she don't give a damn about you, I mean look at me and Janet, I would have died for that girl, but what did she do ? She left me for her ex boyfriend. I'm sure if giving the opportunity Theresa would go back to Ethan without even looking back at you. First love is true love when it comes to women.", Dylan replied.
"Dylan, I don't have time for this, you don't know nothing about me and Theresa.", he replied.

A knock came from behind the door and in walked Ethan. It was the first visit he'd made to see Theresa, he'd snuck out of the hotel he and Gwen shared.
"Theresa, are you awake ?". Ethan asked.
"Hum ? Yeah, Ethan what are you doing here ?", Theresa asked.
"To check on you, I've been wanting to since Wednesday (the day she checked in to the hospital).", he replied.
"Oh, so is Gwen with you ?", she asked.
"No, she doesn't know I'm here, we're sort of not communicating right now.", he replied.
"I'm sorry to here that.", she replied and she actually meant it, she was over Ethan completely and totally.
"Theresa, I love you, and if you ever need me I'm here and I want you back. Just say the word and I'll leave Gwen for you.", he replied.
"Ethan, what about your baby ? What about your commitment to Gwen.", Theresa asked.
"Theresa, you're sick right, now and you're really important to me, I want you to be my wife not, Gwen. It was you I always wanted, it was you who I planned on marring not, Gwen.", Ethan confessed.
"Ethan, I-I.", Theresa was cut of by Ethan's lips meting hers in an explosive, passionate kiss.
Fox walked in just in time to see Ethan kiss Theresa.
"What the hell ? Theresa, I can't believe you, you could have at least told me you wanted Ethan back, I'd gave you a divorce.", Fox exclaimed. "NO, INSTEAD YOU WANTED US BOTH, YOU THOUGHT YOU'D GET IT OFF OF ME AND ETHAN, OR MAYBE I WAS JUST YOUR ETHAN SUBSTITUTE. WELL, GUESS WHAT THERESA YOU CAN HAVE YOUR LOVER BOY BACK, I DON'T WANT NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH EITHER OF YOU.", he was screaming by now.
"Fox, I can…", Theresa exclaimed.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NO MORE LIES THERESA, I SICK OF BEING COMPARED TO ETHAN, I'M TIRED OF ALWAYS LOSING EVERYTHING TO ETHAN, YOU'RE THE ONLY THING I THOUGHT I'D NEVER LOSE. BUT, NOW I SEE WHAT DYLAN WAS TALKING ABOUT, YOUR JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE YOU STILL THINK OF ETHAN AS YOUR SOULMATE, YOU STILL DREAM OF HIM AT NIGHT, IT WAS HIM YOU SEE YOURSELF SPENDING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH, YOU NEVER GAVE A DAMN ABOUT ME.", he screamed.
Dylan stood at the door smiling ear to ear, his and Ethan plan had worked, but would it be enough to keep them apart he wondered.
"Fox, I love you, yes, I love Ethan, but I'm not in love with him. My heart belongs to you forever and always.", she tried to reason.
"Theresa, quit it, ok. Ethan wants you back. So, go I'm sure you'll be happy with the man you always loved.", Fox replied with that he stormed out.
Fox ran into Dylan standing outside.
"What's wrong ?",Dylan asked trying to hide the smile forming on the side of his mouth.
"You were right. Theresa is still lusting after Ethan.", he replied with he turned and left.
