A/N: No one at all reviewed chapter 6. Maybe it was because I did it from
Gwen's point of view. I was gonna wait until I got a review to write
chapter 7, but I changed my mind. Well I hope you like this chapter and
please review.
Fox's POV
*
"A Walk Around The Hospital"
*
I was no longer feeling dizzy. I had decided to get up and walk around. As I walked I thought about the conversation I had heard between Gwen and Ethan. Ethan was leaving her because he loved Theresa. I had known he loved her all along, but he was being stupid. And that was good for me. That way I got Theresa. However he was getting smarter and it was happening to fast.
There was no way Theresa knew about this. She would have run back into his arms right away if she did. That much was sure.
I noticed I was near Theresa's room so I decided to pay a visit.
As I walked down the hall toward her room I saw Auntie Sheridan in one of the rooms. I wondered briefly if something had happened to her, but I soon realized she must've been a visitor because there was another person in the bed. I could not tell who it was so I moved closer. I saw Gwen.
"I wonder what happened to her." I said to myself. Then I continued walking.
As I reached Theresa's room I saw Ethan sitting there, caressing her face and holding her hand. It infuriated me.
I opened the door and Ethan jumped. "Hello." I said calmly.
"What are you doing here Fox?" My half brother asked.
"Nice to see you too."
"Answer my question."
"I think the more appropriate question is what are you doing here?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your wife is in a room just down the hall."
"Why? Is she visiting someone?"
"No. She's a patient."
Ethan looked shocked. "How- No- What happened?"
"Beats me. Seeing as she's your wife I'd think you'd know. But then again I would also think you'd be in there with her. Not in here with Theresa."
"Just shut up Fox." He said looking torn.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?"
"I said shut up. Now I've got to go." He looked at Theresa for a moment as if it were killing him to leave her then got up and left. I felt no sympathy for him. He had left Theresa before.
I sat down where Ethan had been. I did not hold her hands. I did not caress her face. I didn't touch her at all. I just sat beside her and watched her. I don't know how much time passed. I could have been five minutes or it could have been an hour. I was just about to reach out and touch her when Pilar, Luis, Whitney, and Chad entered the room.
"Mija!" cried Pilar. She ran to her and hugged her.
"Theresa!" said Whitney as she did the same.
Luis looked ready to kill. "Whoever did this to her is gonna be sorry. I'll find them and they will pay."
"Calm down man." Said Chad. "Let's just worry about Theresa getting better for now."
I suddenly felt out of place, but I didn't want to leave Theresa. Luis made up my mind for me.
"Look Fox I know you and Theresa are friends but could you leave us alone for awhile." It wasn't a question. Luis hated all the Cranes, except Sheridan, and it was a well-known fact. So I left, reluctantly.
As I walked down the hall I heard noises. I followed them to Gwen's room. Sheridan was still there as well as Ethan. Gwen was screaming and sobbing, Sheridan was looking torn, and Ethan was blabbing on about something.
I opened the door a crack to hear what was being said.
"Ethan shut up! I don't want to hear it!" yelled Gwen.
"That night I was trying to choose between the two of you I was going to pick Theresa but when you got pregnant I felt a responsibility-"
"Ethan shut up! I don't care! Just leave me alone!" I closed the door gently. I felt bad for Gwen. I didn't really like her, but I knew she really loved Ethan. In a way we were fighting the same war: the war to separate two people that, according to Theresa, were bound by fate. Gwen had won most of the battles but she had lost the war.
Of course that didn't mean I was giving up. Ethan didn't deserve Theresa. He'd had her and then he threw her away. He'd broken her heart and for the last two years I'd been trying to pick up the pieces.
As I walked many things were happening around me. Nurses yelling, babies being born, people dieing, children crying, families rejoicing. However all I could think about was Theresa. I was sure as soon as Ethan told her he was leaving Gwen she would pick him and forget me.
I wanted to be next to her when she woke up. I wanted her to love me more than Ethan. I wanted so much. I felt like a little whiny kid at Christmas. If I had a say in it Theresa would love me not Ethan. But that's not my choice it's Theresa's.
Suddenly I felt very selfish. Before Theresa could choose she would have to wake up. That was all that mattered for now. Theresa had to be okay.
