Mending a Broken
Heart
Chapter 1- Consoling the Heart
A Fox and Theresa Story
Note: In my story, Theresa and Julian ARE married, but are in the process of filing for a Divorce. Though Theresa DOES have Little Ethan, but for right now he is away in Spain with Miguel and Charity, who are married.
Stuff in ** are thoughts, except for the title things
Theresa sat in the Solarium gazing out the window. *How could you do this to me, Ethan? You told me you loved me, and then you go and propose to Gwen..again* thought a lonely Theresa.
"Hello Stepmommy," said a rather familiar voice. Theresa turned around, already knowing it was him..Fox. "I thought I told you not to call me that", replied Theresa.
"You did, but I thought it would get your attention", Fox said with a smirk on his face.
"Well, Mission accomplished", said Theresa with a smile.
"Glad to see you smiling again. You should do that more often. Your smile is gorgeous," said Fox.
Theresa couldn't help but blush at his comment. For a moment, she looked at him, admiring his dirty blond hair and chocolate brown eyes. He was wearing a plain white shirt and shorts, and he looked so handsome in the pale light.
"Oh, Fox", said Theresa smiling.
"Ooo, I like it when you say my name like that," said Fox with a sly grin.
"Fox, cut it out," said Theresa, playfully hitting him.
Fox looked Theresa over when she looked away. He had to admit it, he loved what he saw. He loved her long black silky hair and her big brown eyes. He especially loved her knee length black slip nightie she had on. *If only she knew that..* his thoughts were interrupted when she started talking.
Theresa sighed, "Why am I always the one getting hurt? I hate keeping my emotions locked up. It hurts not to let them out!"
"Theresa, you don't have to keep them hidden when you're around me. You don't have to pretend that you're fine. You know that whenever you need me, I'll always be there for you", said Fox, looking into Theresa's eyes.
"Thank you soo much, Fox. You're such a good friend to me," said Theresa.
Fox reached out, closing the space between them, and held her in his arms. Theresa always felt so safe in his masculine arms. For what seemed like forever, they stood their holding one another, until a voice interrupted them.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER," yelled a voice from behind them.
Fox and Theresa turned around, only to find out that it was, Ethan, as they had suspected. Only this time, he looked quite outraged.
Ethan looked at Fox, still holding Theresa.
"Didn't you hear me Fox? I said GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!"
"Since when do I listen to you, Ethan?", replied a now annoyed Fox.
"Since NOW! Do as I say and leave Theresa alone," yelled Ethan
"Leave him alone, Ethan! What Fox and I do is NONE of your business," replied Theresa, quite annoyed now too.
Ethan was shocked by her words. Then Gwen came in and put her arms around Ethan, as if saying, *"He's mine, you loose".*
Theresa caught a glimpse at the ring on Gwen's finger, A ring that would be on mine.thought Theresa, and all the memories came flooding back. Theresa could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. She stopped fighting them, and let them come.
Fox was the first to notice.
"Oh Resa, Don't cry," whispered Fox tenderly. He reached out and took her in his masculine arms.
Ethan came up to Fox and pushed him off of Theresa.
Fox tripped on the coffee table leg, and fell, hitting his head on the table. Theresa screamed and knelt down beside Fox,
"Fox, Fox, oh, Fox, are you okay?" screamed a frightened Theresa. Fox slowly sat up, rubbing his head. Theresa threw her arms around him.
"Oh, Fox, are you alright?," exclaimed Theresa.
"I guess so. My head hurts, thanks to Ethan", yelled Fox at Ethan.
Standing up, Fox went over to Ethan, "What the hell is your problem Ethan!? Why are you so defensive when it comes to Theresa?"
"Because I know what you REALLY are, and it isn't pretty! You're a user, liar! You'll do ANYTHING to get a woman into your bed", yelled Ethan.
Theresa cut in before Fox could say anything-, " No he isn't! He's changed, Ethan! He isn't like that anymore, but you wouldn't know, because you never take the time to see the REAL Fox", said Theresa.
"Theresa, that's what he wants you to think", said Ethan.
Gwen finally spoke up, "Fox, I hope you aren't turning soft towards Theresa, because if anybody's a liar, it's Theresa. She is a conniving slut who seduced your father into marrying her! She is a gold digging tramp," said Gwen, menacingly.
Theresa just couldn't take it anymore. She ran out from the room, crying.
"SHUT UP GWEN! Look what you have done!", yelled Fox.
Fox and Ethan both started to go after her, when Gwen said, "Ethan, your not seriously going to go up that and comfort her, are you?"
Fox went on ahead. Ethan chose to ignore Gwen's question and went after Fox.
Fox was right outside Theresa's door, when Ethan grabbed him from behind. "And just what do you think your doing?", asked Ethan.
Knocking Ethan's arm off of him, Fox said, " I'm going to comfort Theresa. Maybe you should just go find your new wife, Gwen, and leave me alone."
"Like hell I will," said Ethan angrily.
Suddenly the door swung open, and there stood Theresa.
"What is going on out here?", asked Theresa.
"Nothing, Don't worry Theresa. I wash just getting Fox to back away. We'll be going now," said Ethan.
"No, I'm not going anywhere, Ethan! You're not the boss of me. If Theresa doesn't want me here, then I'll go, but until SHE says it, I'm staying," said an annoyed Fox.
"Theresa, will you please just tell him to go already," said Ethan.
"No Ethan, I will not. If Fox's wants to come and visit with me, then he can," said a very annoyed Theresa.
Theresa pulled Fox in the room and said, "Now, if you'll excuse us, I'd like you to leave", and with that, she slammed the door.
*in the hall* *what in the world just happened? Did Theresa just give me the cold shoulder?* Pondered Ethan.
"Ethan," came Gwen's voice, "come downstairs."
"Coming," replied Ethan. Ethan walked to the stairs, still pondering what had just happened.
*Theresa's Bedroom*
[Theresa is sitting on the bed. Fox is sitting in the chair next to her]
"Oh, Fox, you don't know how hard it was for me to close the door on Ethan. But, I couldn't stand how he was treating you," sighed Theresa.
Fox leaned over next to Theresa.
"Ya know, not many people would have stood up for me when Prince Ethan is involved. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is Thank you", said Fox.
"Hey, Fox there is something I have wanted to tell you.." began Theresa, but she didn't get to finish it, because just then an ear piercing scream rang through the house.
"Somebody help!", screamed the voice.
TBC- who screamed? What's happening? To find out, you'll have to read the next chapter.
