~Chapter 5~
Teresa slumped over, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't do this anymore. How could she ever move on? The grass felt cool against her flush face. She had almost passed out.
"I miss you so much. More than you or anyone will ever know." She stroked the ground below her. She took in a deep breath. She had to be strong. She had to be strong for him. She slowly raised herself back up to a sitting position. She had brought daisies with her. They were her favorite flower and she was sure he would've like them too. She lay them on top of the grave marker. Her son's tombstone. She trace a hand over his name and then read the dates. He was so young. Too young to die. He had barely lived. "I love you, Little Ethan. I always will."
She began to sob again. Why did she keep coming here? This was ridiculous. Would she always feel like this? She lay back down on the grass. Somehow she felt closer to him this way.
Out of the bushes stepped a young man. He had been watching her the entire time. A tear slid slowly down his face, for he felt her pain. It was his pain also. He walked over to her and sit down beside her. He gently stroked her head. "It's going to be alright, Teresa. It won't always hurt this bad. I promise."
She sat up and looked at the handsome young man. "You promise?"
He pulled her into his arms, "I promise, Teresa. It will get easier. I can't say that the pain will ever go away, but it will get easier." He gently kissed her on top of her head.
Rain began to falling gently upon them. Teresa looked up toward the sky. The rain felt refreshing against her skin. "I wish the rain would wash away all my pain, Ethan."
"If that were true, Teresa, I would pray that the skies would open and the rains would pour."
"Ethan, you shouldn't be here. If Gwen knew you were here..."
"Shhh, Teresa, it doesn't matter. I have just as much right as anyone to be here." He pulled her tighter against him.
Teresa let out a deep breath. "Thank you, Ethan. Thank you for being here. It helps a lot."
"That's what I'm here for Teresa. You know I'll always be here for you. No matter what has happened between us or is destined to happen between us, you can always count on me."
"Do you ever think about him, Ethan? You know, about what might have been?"
"Everyday of my life, Teresa. Everyday of my life."
"Me, too." Teresa whispered.
***Sorry, I know this Chapter is short, for I just felt like it should be. Hope you like it. I know a lot of people aren't liking Passions right now. I'm actually one of them. Probably the reason I haven't been updating my stories as often lately. I'm totally disgusted with the way they are right Teresa's character right now. I'm sure there's a reason to it. Probably trying to show how she is at this point more obsessed with Ethan than she is "in love with him." I think maybe they are breaking her character down just to build it back up and make her a stronger person. I'm also disgusted with all this Fox/Whitney stuff! Get real! They would suck as a couple. Plain and simple. Absolutely no chemistry whatsoever! What do you guys think?
