CHAPTER 13

It was three hours since Theresa had opened the box, and fainted. She was crying, and she was scared, but she didn't know why, she knew that nobody would let anything happen to her.

"Theresa!" She heard a voice call from behind her.

She turned around, and came face to face with Fox Crane, whom she cared for deeply.

"Fox, hey." She said weakly, faking a smile.

"Hi, Theresa, can I get you anything?" He asked, gently stroking her arm.

She closed her eyes, trying to focus on the present, and not the past.

"Thanks, but that's okay, I don't need anything but my sanity, and I'm not sure that I will be able to keep that." She replied, letting the tears slowly slip down her face.

Fox reached up and wiped them away, he couldn't stand to see her cry.

"Please don't cry, I hate to see you in pain." He pleaded with her.

"Sorry Fox, but I can't help it, I am losing everyone, and I don't know who's next." She cried.

"I know, and I'm sorry, I too lost someone, I lost my sister." He told her.

"YES, YOU HAVE LOST SOMEONE, BUT I LOST SO MANY MORE PEOPLE. I LOST MY SON, THEN GWEN, WHO HAD BECOME ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS, AND THEN CRYSTAL, WHO WAS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, AND THEN MAMA, AND GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE LOST THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT." Theresa screamed unable to hold her emotions together any longer.

"Theresa, calm down okay, this isn't going to help anyone." Fox replied, trying to calm her down.

She couldn't hold it anymore, this was too hard for her, so she just lost it. Fox tried to touch her in order to help her, but she wasn't going to have it.

"DON'T TOUCH ME, JUST STAY AWAY." She yelled.

Everyone else now surrounded her and Fox. Luis tried to go near her, but she continued to yell.

"NO, STAY AWAY, I WASN'T JUST TALKING ABOUT FOX, I DON'T WANT ANYONE NEAR ME."

"Theresa come on, be reasonable." Luis said.

"NO, STAY AWAY, DON'T COME ANY CLOSER." She tried to control herself, but she couldn't, tears were running down her face, and she didn't know what to do. She felt closed in, or cornered.

"Everyone get out of the way, there is no way that she can push me away." Ethan said, stepping closer.

"NO, GET AWAY FROM ME. IF I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE NEAR ME, WHY WOULD I YOU?" She questioned through gritted teeth.

Ethan, and everyone else was stunned, they couldn't believe their ears. Theresa had enough, she ran out the door without another word, never looking back.

They all just stood there, trying to recover from what just happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Theresa had just gotten home, and she knew exactly what she had to do. She had to leave, she had to run away from her problems, and possibly never return. She was packing, she was getting ready for her departure from Harmony, Maine. It was time for her to go, and she knew that, but was it really her time to leave the town, or should she stay for the people she loves, and who loves her. She didn't know, but she did know that she had to go, she had to leave, and get away from all the pain this town held.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gloria and Paloma were walking together, just talking about ways to help Theresa, when they heard another voice.

"Who is that?" Paloma questioned.

Gloria, who knew that voice all too well, spoke up.

"That would be mother, the ice queen." Gloria replied bitterly.

"That's Ivy, what could be so funny?" Paloma asked.

"Only one way to find out." Gloria said, walking up to listen to what Ivy thought was so funny.

They knew it had to be bad, when they saw Ivy talking with Rebecca, and the both of them laughing hysterically.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it, Theresa is being put through so much pain, and I am loving every second of it." Ivy replied, seeing Rebecca nod her head in agreement.

"YOU BITCH!" Paloma screamed coming from behind the bush.

"Paloma, Gloria, what are you doing here." Ivy asked, shocked.

Instead of answering, Paloma walked up to Ivy and Rebecca and gave them a powerful slap across the face. She wanted to strangle them, but was held back by Gloria, who just glared at her mother and step-mother.

Feeling she had to do something to keep from killing the bitches, Gloria pulled Paloma and they left, much to Paloma's dismay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Theresa had finished packing, and she was about to go to the airport, when she heard loud voices. She didn't recognize the voices, but she knew she had to figure out what was going on. She ran to where she heard the voices, and saw a fight break out.

She walked over, and tried to tear the two men apart, but they were too strong for her. Suddenly, she felt a dizzy spell come on, and she stepped out of the way of the two fighting men. She was shaking violently, and she was having trouble breathing, when everything went black. She lay there unconscious.

NEXT CHAPTER:

• Some disturbing news is given about Theresa, but what is it?

• Fox knows the two guys who were fighting, and confronts them, but he isn't too happy about it.
