Ch.3
"Teresa you look gorgeous!"
Teresa stood in front of the long mirrors in the department store.
"You really think this is the dress whit?"
"Are you kidding Teresa? You look like an angel! I insist, you have you buy that dress!"
"Well if you insist!" Teresa giggled. This was the first wedding dress she had tried on, and she knew it would be the last. It was perfect.
After Teresa had changed and paid for the dress, her and Whitney went to the book café.
The girls sat down at their usual table, and ordered.
"Teresa, I still can't believe you're getting married! And to Fox for that matter! I swear, after all those years of Ethan, and fate, I never thought I'd see the day,"
Teresa smiled.
"You know something Whit, I think Ethan and fate still have a big part in all of this. I mean if I never knew Ethan, then I would never have even met Fox. It's funny how life turns out sometime ya know?"
"Yea I know…but while were on the subject of Ethan and fox, I gotta ask Teresa…I was just wondering…who has the biggest…ya know…"Crane fortune?""
"WHITNEY RUSSEL!" Teresa exclaimed. "You little perv!"
"Oh come on Teresa, I'm just trying to have a little girl talk!"
They both started laughing uncontrollably.
"Well sorry Whit, but that is personal info. Unless you wanna tell me about Chad's...you know…"fortune" "
"OK! OK! Point taken! " Whitney laughed.
The girls giggled and talked some more. All of a sudden, Teresa noticed her hand was starting to shake again.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Whitney asked.
"Nothing. I'm just a little dizzy" Teresa stammered. "I'm going to go to the bathroom, and splash some water on my face."
Teresa stood up and started walking to the bathroom. She felt like her body was being pulled down. Her head started throbbing, and everything started turning dark before her. The last thing she saw the door to the girls bathroom. Then nothing.
"TERESA!" Whitney yelled. She had looked over to make sure her friend was ok, and had seen her fall straight back onto the hard ground. She ran over there.
"Oh my God Teresa, can you hear me? Come on wake up please?"
Whitney was hysterical. A crowd had started forming around Teresa, who was lying motionless on the floor. Someone had run and called 911.
"Teresa, oh my god, you have to wake up now, come on!"
The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later, and Teresa still wasn't moving. They put her on a stretcher and wheeled her outside.
On of the paramedics ran over to Whitney.
"Ma'am, are you going to ride with us?"
"Yes of course" Whitney said as she hopped into the ambulance. She took Teresa's hand as they drove off.
