A/N: Finally a new chapter. Sorry it took a while but I couldn't figure out
who's POV to use. I know I've only been using Fox and Theresa to this
point but Theresa is unconscious and I just used Fox, so here's Gwen.
Gwen's POV
*
"Forgetting Something"
*
I was walking fast through the hospital halls with no particular purpose. I didn't even want to be there but mother had dragged me along for company. She didn't know that Ethan was leaving me yet, because I couldn't bear to hear her say I told you so.
In fact no one knew other than the three of us and of course I had been the last to find out. Ethan had told Theresa before me. That was the worst of it.
After little Ethan went missing and everyone went looking for him, Ethan pulled me aside. I followed him out into the yard. It hurt to remember his words.
"Gwen..I don't.. don't know how to say this. I don't love you. Wait let me get it all out. I married you for the wrong reason. I really wanted.... Theresa. I didn't really understand it but our son was the only thing keeping us together. I know I told you again and again that I wouldn't leave you if we lost the baby but.." At that point I had been sobbing to loudly for him to finish. I ran away and then I don't remember anything until mother found me at the docks.
And then he had the nerve to try and finish the conversation. He pulled me aside in the hospital but I got away before he could tell me anything new.
Suddenly I looked up. I was outside Theresa's room and I no idea how I had gotten there. The scene I saw made my blood boil. Ethan was sitting beside Theresa's bed holding her hand looking worried.
"How dare he! I can't believe him! He is the most.. the most.. ahhhhh!" I couldn't find a word for what he was.
Then I beheld an even worse sight. Ethan had leaned in and was now kissing Theresa. She was not kissing back but I was sure if she had been awake she would have been all over Ethan. I became sick to my stomach. I was literally in pain. I doubled over. I tried to call out but the words died in my throat. I hit the floor. Then everything went black.
The next thing I knew I was awake in a hospital bed, feeling cold, sick, and alone. I couldn't help but realize that Ethan wasn't there.
A moment later mother came running in with Julian in toe. "Oh Gwennie you're finally up! I was so worried!" I smiled to myself. At least there was someone who cared about me.
"I'll go get Sheridan." Julian muttered. "She'll want to know you're up."
As soon as Julian left mother stared throwing questions at me. "What happened? Do you remember anything? Why did you faint? Can I get you something?" Mother had a great deal more questions but I didn't really hear them and I still couldn't bring myself to tell her how Ethan was leaving me.
"I'll be fine." I said and strangely enough she said nothing more.
We sat in the silence for at least five minutes. I was something I wasn't used to with mother.
"Gwen! Oh thank you God! I was so worried!" Sheridan came running into my room and swept me into a hug. I couldn't help but smile despite all my current troubles. I could tell her about Ethan.
I'm not sure how but after a few minutes of talk Sheridan was telling me everything she knew about the attempt on Theresa's life. I might have asked but I forget.
"So then they think that the almost murder beat Theresa with a vase, then left her to die in the fire." Even though it was very vague it sounded familiar. Suddenly events flashed before my eyes. And with no emotion, no fear, no joy, no anything whatsoever I realized I had tried to kill Theresa.
