I REMEMBER L.A.

Teresa sat at home alone. Everyone back in Harmony was attending Fox's memorial service and she couldn't bring herself to attend them. Afterall, no one but her had ever truly understood Fox or loved him the way she did. They would all just be there for appearances and right now she couldn't handle that. She couldn't handle facing Ivy and Rebecca. The thought of facing Julian sickened her. Ivy and Julian had never cared for Fox. Had never taken the time for their son. They would all pretend to be broken hearted, mourning for a son they never even loved.

Worst of all, she knew that Ethan would be there. The man that she had once thought was the man of her dreams would be there to show his respects to the man he never even knew. The man he hated. It was all an act. He would be there along with Gwen. The woman he didn't even love. Truth be known, she didn't even love him. How could she?

They all made her sick. Prancing around like they knew Fox. Like they actually cared about him. Julian and Alistair probably danced a jig at the announcement of Fox's death. No longer would they have to worry about the unruly Fox one day taking over the Crane Empire. That had been once again delegated to Ethan. For some unknown reason, they had accepted Ethan back into the family. Who knows why? Only the Crane's and their warped minds. Just something else to rub in her face, she thought. The fact that she yet again would never get her hands on any of the Crane fortune. Well, they had another thing coming if they thought she cared anything about there money. She would gladly give all the money in the world up, to have Fox back in her life.

Teresa walked over to her bedroom window and sat in the small window seat. She looked up to the heavens. The sky here in Harmony was beautiful, but it didn't compare to L.A. She looked out at the window just as a young couple holding hands walked by. They were smiling and laughing. So much in love. So full of life. It remind her of Fox. She picked up the photo album she had brought with her from L.A.. She had been working on it since arriving in L.A. She wanted a memento that her and Fox could look back on one day and remember how they feel in love.

She opened up the photo album and her eyes were flooded with images of her and Fox together. Happy, so full of hope. There were pictures of them by the pool sunbathing. Pictures of their first date, when he had arranged for her make-over. There was even a picture of them on the beach she had gotten someone to take on the night they first made love. She flipped to the last page of the photo album and there was Fox's beautiful face starring back at her. How could he be gone? He was just with her a few days ago. So full of life. So full of love, for her. Only her. Teresa skimmed back through the pages, memories of L.A. flooding her mind.

I remember L.A. Seems a lifetime ago. We were stars on Sunset Boulevard. What a movie we made.

There were days in the sun That have stayed forever young. Nights when passion was invincible. We thought our love would never die.

There are moments in that lifetime that my heart still replays. There were minutes, there were hours, there were days. There are moments I still love you that same way. When I remember L.A.

I remember good-bye. I watched you slip out of my life. Love was over, time to close the book. Now I look back for one last look.

There are moments in that lifetime that my heart still replays. There were minutes, there were hours, there were days. There are moments I still love you that same way. When I remember L.A.

When I remember L.A.

Tears were streaming down her face. She slammed the book shut and hurled it across the room. It flew across the room and hit the wall landing open on the first picture she had seen earlier of Fox. He was starring at her again. His eyes piercing her. Begging her to forgive him. Forgive him for leaving her.

"How could you? How could you leave me? You had no right, Fox!" Teresa yelled at the top of her lungs. "I loved you. Why, Fox, why?" She slumped back down and dropped her head in her hands. It was so hard, she had never experienced any pain this deep. She would never been the same. Her life would never be the same. Fox had came into her life and changed it totally. Giving her the love that she always knew she was destined for and now he was gone. He hadn't cared enough to fight for them and it was breaking her heart. She hated him, hated him so bad for leaving her all alone, but yet she loved every memory she had with him. God, how could she have so many emotions? Love, hate, anger, despair. She wanted to laugh one moment, cry the next, throw a temper tantrum after that.

There was a knock at her door. "Please, just go away." She barely managed to whisper.

Dylan peeked his head in the door, "Teresa, you know I can't do that." He came in and scooped her up into his arms, "Please, Teresa, don't do this to yourself. Stop blaming him. It wasn't his fault."

Teresa pushed Dylan away from her, "Shut the hell up, Dylan! You don't know what your talking about. Fox didn't care about me. If he truly loved me he wouldn't have left me. He would've fought back for me." Teresa got up and stood in the middle of the room, she yelled at the top of your lungs, "I loved you, Fox! Do you hear me? I loved you! You didn't love me. You couldn't have loved me. You would still be here if you did!"

Dylan ran over to her and grabbed her, "Stop it, Teresa, Stop it now! Fox wouldn't want to see you like this! Do you hear me!" He shook her forcefully. When she wouldn't stop screaming, he grabbed her face and looked her straight in the eye, "Teresa, Teresa, calm down, it's alright. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. It's going to be okay."

Teresa stopped instantly. Huge tears welled up in her eyes, "I, I just miss him so much, Dylan. I would give anything just to see his face one more time. Hear him whisper my name. Feel his arms squeezed tight around me. I'm never going to see him again, am I?" She broke down falling along with Dylan to the floor.

He held her close to him, rocking her gently, carressing her hair. "Let it out, Teresa! Let it all out!"
