Chapter 2
Crane Mansion
Ethan was still in shock.
Gwen had walked out on him.
The person he was supposed to spend eternity with.
The person he had loved for half his life with.
The thing was he wasn't upset.
Why was that?
He knew the answer but didn't want to admit the truth.
Teresa.
She was the only reason for why he would be feeling this way.
Lately he had been thinking about her pretty much all the time.
Earlier tonight he even imagined that he was with her instead of Gwen.
That wasn't right if he truly loved Gwen.
People always said his was a marriage of convenience.
But he refused to believe it.
Yet that is what it was.
Otherwise he wouldn't be thinking about his best friend,
When he was supposed to be making love to Gwen.
That was what happened a little over an hour ago.
His thoughts turned to Teresa,
His best friend,
The person he would do anything for.
He had dressed up as Elvis and sung to her,
He dressed up as an Italian waiter just to see her smile.
Never in his wildest dreams did he ever do anything like that for Gwen.
If she was upset he sent her a few diamonds.
Teresa would never want anything like that.
She was the flowers and chocolate kind of person.
He found it strange that just after his fiancé had left,
He was comparing her to his best friend.
Then it hit him.
The reason why he didn't really care Gwen had just left.
The reason he was comparing Gwen and Teresa.
It was because he loved Teresa.
He was in love with Teresa Lopez-Fitzgerald.
The reason he was so intent on finding her when he thought she was stalking him.
It was because he had felt a connection with her,
He was in love with her.
Lopez-Fitzgerald Home
Her dreams had been shattered.
All thoughts that Ethan was in love with her had been thrown out the window.
Earlier when they were dancing in the club she had been certain.
But after hearing Gwen and Ethan in his room, she knew she had no chance.
Walking around her room she picked up all the pictures that she had collected from magazines and newspapers, only keeping a few photos, and walked out into the yard she placed everything in a metal bucket and threw in a match.
Standing there in her backyard in the pitch black at an hour near midnight Teresa watched all her hopes and dreams go up in flames.
'Teresa, what are you doing?' she turned around to see Miguel walk into sight.
'Hi Miguel. I am burning my dreams'
'What do you mean?'
'I realized tonight that I would never have Ethan.' She said starting to cry.
'Its all right Teresa' he moved forward and wrapped her in hug. 'Its for the best to let go now then get hurt more'
'I know' she said pulling out of the hug and wiping the tears from her eyes, 'It's just hard. I loved him for so long. And now it is gone. I have to move on'
'You will move on. You are a very strong person. Prom's coming up soon why don't you find someone to go with. I know plenty of people who would love to go with you if you want me to set it up.'
'You know what do that. But I don't want to know who it is till the night of the prom. You can find me my new prince charming. One condition no nerds'
'Okay its set. I will find the prince charming that will help you get over Ethan. Now how about we make sure this is out and then go to bed. It is fairly late.'
'You're right it is a bit late' she said laughing. 'Lets go to bed.
They doused the flames made sure that they were completely out and then went to bed.
PLEASE GIVE THE FEED BACK!
