CHAPTER 11
"Hello!" Whitney exclaimed answering her phone.
"Whit, it's me Ethan." The voice on the other line replied.
"Ethan, what do you want?" She asked.
"I have to talk to you." He answered simply.
"About what?" She questioned.
"About our future." He stated.
"What about our future?" She asked, still confused.
"Look, I can't talk to you over the phone about this, can you meet me at the book café in an hour?" He asked.
"Yeah, see you then." She replied hanging up.
She was curious about what Ethan wanted, so she decided to get ready to go to the book café.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whitney!" Ethan exclaimed gaining her attention.
"Okay, I'm here, now what is so important?" She asked quietly, so no one could here her.
"Like I said, it's about our future." He explained.
She sighed heavily. "I know that, but what about our future?" She asked becoming frustrated.
"I know what you want, and I know that you know what I want, so why don't we help each other get what our hearts desire." Ethan explained.
"Really, and just what is it that I want?" Whitney asked quite amused with Ethan's know it all attitude.
"You want Fox, like I want Theresa, and they are both getting in the way of us having what we want. They seem too close, and we have to make sure we win." Ethan said, determinedly.
"Really, and just how do you know that I want Fox?" Whitney asked.
"Whitney, trust me, I can tell." He stated, receiving a small laugh from the young woman.
"It is too hard to tell with me." She said smirking.
"No, it isn't. I can tell what you want, and you want Fox." Ethan said convinced.
"Maybe I do, but I don't need your help to get him." She replied.
"We can help each other get what we want." He replied.
"I don't want help, nor do I need it." Whitney stated calmly.
"We will help each other, whether you like it or not." Ethan said firmly.
"And if I won't accept help?" Whitney asked.
"I will tell everyone that you know where my god son is." He replied smirking.
"Fine, I'll help you, and you help me." She said shaking his hand, and walking out of the book café.

Theresa had not yet stopped crying, she was so close to her mother, and now this happened.
She looked up when she heard the door open, and Fox walked in.
"Hey are you okay?" He asked concerned.
"No, mama was just killed." She cried.
"I know, but it will be okay." He soothed.
"Nothing will ever be okay again." She replied sobbing.
"Shhh, yes everything will, you just have to give it time." He replied letting her cry on his shoulder.
He was happy, nobody had ever wanted to cry on his shoulder before, he was just another Crane, but Theresa didn't care. She still cared about him, and that would never change.
"Are you ready for the funeral yet?" He asked cautiously.
"Yeah, I am." She replied.
They got up, and left to go to the funeral.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most people at the funeral were crying, but there were some people who just didn't care about anyone but themselves, namely Rebecca.
Rebecca looked like she was about to laugh, but thought better of it, when she saw the murderous glare Theresa gave her.
Theresa was standing next to Fox, for support, since she knew that not many other people actually would be there for her, besides her family, of course.
Paloma walked over to Theresa, and pulled her into a tight embrace, never wanting to let go.
"Hey, Loma!" Theresa exclaimed trying to sound cheerful, but she was not very successful, and Paloma knew that her smile was a fake.
"Theresa, you don't have to fake a smile, because I know that you can't possibly be happy, and you don't have to try to fool me." Paloma said.
"Sorry, Loma, I guess I just wanted to be strong for you." Theresa replied.
"I know. I just still can't believe that mama is gone." Paloma replied.
"I know." Theresa replied choking on all of her tears.
Everything was going peaceful for a while, until something came crashing out of the ceiling, and pushed two women on the floor lifeless.
Gasps, and screams were heard throughout the room.
