Chapter 37:
Fox never came home that night. Theresa worried about him and wondered if he was cheating on her. This wasn't the first night he didn't come home. He wasn't home 4 nights out of last week.
"Could he really be cheating on me?" She asked herself that next morning. "No, no, he wouldn't do that to me." She told herself. "He loves me."
She went downstairs with Little Ethan so she could get some breakfast, but as she was headed for the kitchen Fox walked in appearing to be very drunk.
"Phyllis!" She called.
"Yes, Theresa." She responded immediately.
"Please take Little Ethan and give him his bottle."
"Yes, Mrs." Phyllis took him and left Theresa alone with Fox.
"What the hell is going on, Fox?" Theresa asked angrily.
"Nothing!" He shouted.
"Then why are you drunk? Where have you been all night?" She raised her voice so practically the whole house could hear.
He jerked her closer to him and pulled her up the stairs. She could hardly keep her balance.
"Let go Fox. You're hurting me!" She said in pain.
"Oh shut up!"
He opened their bedroom door and threw her inside the room. He slammed the door shut as hard as he could, then locked it and threw the key under the bed.
"You're as drunk as a pig." She shouted.
He started to come closer and closer to her.
"Don't touch me! I said don't touch me, Fox!" She pushed herself away from him, but he cornered her.
He pick her up by her hair and slammed her against the wall he had cornered her in.
"Ahhh! Fox, stop it!: She cried out in agony.
"No, you keep questioning me. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you were never to question me?"
Theresa didn't say anything.
"Tell me bitch!" He screamed and punched her in her left eye. "Didn't I?"
"Yes! Yes! You did!" She was so afraid that he was going to really kill her.
"So you want to know where I've been?" He said calmly. "Well, if you really want to know I've been screwing your secretary." He laughed because he loved putting Theresa through this pain.
"How could you?"
"Well it's easy because you don't really give me any real pleasure anymore."
"Shut up! Shut up!" She shouted as she covered her ears. She couldn't stand listening to him anymore.
"No!" He pulled her hands off of her ears and threw her on the bed. He went and opened a bottle of vodka and drank half of it. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and sparked it up.
"Since when have you smoked?" She asked him.
"Since I married a bitch." He replied harshly.
He got on top of her and continued to smoke.
"You know, it would be so easy to burn you with this." He held in front of her face.
She took a deep breath and said nothing. She knew if she said something he would get angry and burn her with it. He got off of her to die out the cigarette. He walked back to her and began to punch her head. She screamed and screamed, but it was no use. No one could hear her because he had put their music up so loud. Finally he got tired and left the room, but not before locking the bedroom door. Pilar watched them downstairs and knew they were having a big argument so once she saw Fox leave the room she ran and knocked for Theresa to open it.
"Theresita, it's mama, open up."
"I can't." She cried.
"Why not?"
"Because Fox locked the door and has the key." She informed her.
"Okay, don't worry."
Pilar went in Ethan's old room and opened the adjoining door. Fox had forgot to lock it. But he did see her go into it and knew Pilar was going by Theresa. He had to think fast of what to do when Pilar found out. He knew what he had to do. Pilar opened the door and was so shocked to see Theresa's face all bruised and bloody. her hair was a mess and some of it was in a corner of the room.
"Theresita, what happened? Are you alright?" She asked becoming very worried that her daughter was in real danger.
"Oh mama!" She said as she ran to hug Pilar.
"Did Fox do this?"
Theresa looked so scared.
"He did. Didn't he?"
Again she said nothing.
"Theresita, it's important for you to tell me who did this?"
"Fox." She said quietly.
"Who, baby?"
"Fox! He did this to me!" She shouted.
"Has he ever done this to you before?" Pilar asked as they went into the bathroom to clean her face up a bit.
"Yes, mama. He has."
"Why haven't you said anything to us? Luis would've taken care of this." Pilar told her.
"Mama, you can't tell anyone. Especially not Luis. Promise you won't say anything, mama! Promise me!" Theresa begged.
"I can't do that. He may kill you, Theresita. You have Little Ethan to take care of. What will he do if Fox kills you?"
Theresa broke down into tears.
"There, there. I'm going to call Luis and get some clean towels. Stay right here."
"Okay, mama."
Pilar walked out through Ethan's old room. She was scared to see Fox sitting on the bed.
The next morning Ethan woke up with Ava in his arms. He kissed her forehead gently and said, "Good morning beautiful!"
"Morning." She smiled. "I'll get up and make us some breakfast." She said.
"No, no, we're gonna go out for breakfast." He told her.
"Great well I'm just gonna go and take a quick shower. You're welcomed to join me."
"I think I will." He said as he got up and followed her.
They got dressed and headed for the restaurant around the corner. As they were walking they bumped into Pat.
"Hey Ethan!" Pat said. "And who is this beautiful lady?"
Ava blushed and Ethan said, "Ava, my new girlfriend."
"It's very nice to meet you Ava." Pat said.
"Same here." She said. "Well I'll let you two catch up while I go and get us seats."
"Okay, honey." He kissed her before she left.
"So that's the mystery lady." Pat smiled. "I'm happy for you both. She seems like a nice girl, but isn't ironic that she looks exactly like Theresa?"
"They don't look alike." He denied.
"Yeah okay, Ethan." Pat rolled his eyes. "Well I have to go. I'm heading back to Harmony today."
"Really? Why? I thought you were here for a week?"
"I was suppose to be, but Julian needs me back at work. I don't know why."
"Oh. Well Alright. I'll see you around."
After breakfast Ava had to leave for work so Ethan decided just to go home.
