CH.10
Fox stared at Theresa confused.
"Theresa, what's wrong?" Fox couldn't understand why she was so upset.
Theresa could feel her whole body shaking.
"Fox, what is that!" She pointed to the computer screen.
"What?" Fox walked over to the computer. "Dylan, what are you doing here?" Fox knew something was up when he didn't answer.
"Don't worry about Dylan. Just tell me what that is!" Theresa tried to stay calm.
Fox slowly read the writing on the computer. He didn't even have to finish because he knew right away what it was. He looked up at Theresa not knowing what to say.
"Theresa, I--" Fox's heart began to beat rapidly, as he struggled for words. He turned to Dylan, not able to look Theresa in the face. "Dylan, what are you doing man?! This is from a year ago! Why are you showing this to Theresa.?"
"So you did write that?!" Theresa yelled.
"Theresa no, you don't understand, that was so long ago! Way before I got to know you!" Fox tried to explain.
"I don't care how long ago it was Fox! You wrote it!" Theresa felt her blood temperature rise. "I don't believe this?! Is that what you think of me and Little Ethan? That I'm just SOME woman with a bastard son?!"
"Of course not!" Fox stared into her eyes.
"Well, that is what you wrote Fox." Dylan smirked, looking up at his friend.
"Dylan, what the hell are you trying to do!" Fox yelled. "How did this even come up?!"
"Hey, she's the one who wanted to see it!" Dylan said in defense.
"Liar!" Fox could feel his blood boiling.
"Hey, it's not my fault you messed up!" Dylan shot back.
"You bastard!" Fox grabbed Dylan by his shirt. "You're just trying to mess things up between me and Theresa!"
"Let go of me!" Dylan pushed Fox so hard, he almost knocked into the lamp.
Just as Fox was about to go after Dylan, Little Ethan walked in.
"Fox, what's going on?"
Fox turned around and saw the frightened expression on Little Ethan's face. But just as he was about to talk to him, Theresa stepped in front of him.
"Baby, don't worry ok. Just go to your room." She tried to console him.
"But I wanna see Fox." he protested.
"Little Ethan, do as I say and go to your room!" Theresa hated yelling at him, but she didn't want him to be apart of what was going on.
"Ok, but Fox can we play later?" Little Ethan sadly asked before turning down the hall.
"Sure thing little buddy" Fox smiled, but thought twice after Theresa shot him a look.
After Little Ethan left, Theresa turned to both Fox and Dylan.
"I want you guys to stop this right now!"
She stared at Fox, with hurt eyes.
"How could you do this?" She could already feel the tears once more brimming at her eyes.
"Theresa please, can't you see what Dylan's doing?" Fox continued taking a deep breath. "He's mad because we're spending so much time together, so he planned this whole thing. He's just trying to split us up Theresa!"
Theresa glanced at Dylan, but she was too angry to grasp what Fox was saying. She grabbed Fox by the arm and brought him to one side.
"Fox, I'm begging you." She stared into his eyes, tears already streaming down her own. "Please, just tell me this isn't true. Tell me Dylan made it all up. Tell me it was a mistake! Tell me anything! Just please don't tell me you wrote those things!"
As Fox saw the hurt in Theresa's eyes, he could feel his own heart breaking in two. He loved her so much, but he couldn't lie to her.
"Fox?" Theresa saw the tears forming in his eyes. Please no. She said to herself, fearing the worst.
"I'm sorry Theresa." Fox began, tears streaming down his face. "I did write those things. But—"
Fox didn't even get to finish, as Theresa slapped him hard across the face.
"I hate you!!" She cried. "How could you do this to me?! How could you do this to Little Ethan?!" Theresa was about to hit him again, but he grabbed her.
"Theresa, you have to listen to me!" Fox tried to hold her still, but she struggled to get away.
"Let go of me!" Theresa tried to pull away, but Fox's arms were too strong. "I hate you Fox! I hate you! Why are you doing this?!" she cried.
Fox managed to steal a glance at Dylan. He had the biggest grin on his face, as he sat watching Fox's life fall to pieces. He turned back to Theresa.
"Theresa, I wrote that email before I knew you; before I knew how much you and Little Ethan meant to me. I was different back then Theresa! I've changed now!" Fox tried to look into her eyes, but all he could see was rage.
"You haven't changed Fox! If you wrote that email, it means those things are still apart of you!" Theresa's arms ached from Fox's strong hold. "You don't care about me or my son! Now let me go!"
"Theresa please!" Fox knew that he was losing her by the minute, but he had to show her how much she truly meant to him. Not thinking, he quickly pulled her close to him and kissed her. But Theresa tore away from him; so hard she almost fell backwards.
"Don't you ever touch me again!" Theresa steadied herself. "I'm going to make sure that Little Ethan never has anything to do with you!"
"No Theresa, don't do that." Fox choked back tears.
"I can do whatever I want! You have NO say in what goes on anymore, and you can thank yourself for that!" Theresa stared at Fox with cold eyes. "God Fox, I trusted you!" Theresa cried, falling to the ground.
Fox felt his stomach tighten. He hated causing Theresa so much pain. Why is this happening to us? He thought to himself.
"You know what guys, I think I'm going to go." Dylan suddenly spoke up grabbing the disk from the computer. "Thanks again Theresa for the computer."
"Dylan I swear to God---" Fox cursed underneath his breath. Dylan just stared at Fox with an evil smirk on his face, before slipping out the door.
Fox tried to control his temper as he turned to Theresa.
"Theresa—" He began.
"Fox, just go." Theresa didn't even look up at him. When she didn't hear him move, she jumped to her feet and walked to the door, grabbing the handle. "Go!"
Fox didn't bother to say anymore. He knew Theresa was too upset to reason with him. As he walked to the door, and stepped outside, he turned and looked at her.
"I am never going to forgive you for this Fox." Theresa let out a breath, and stared into his eyes. "I completely trusted you, and you betrayed me. Thanks a lot." Tears poured down Theresa's face uncontrollably as she slammed the door in Fox's face.
Fox stared at Theresa confused.
"Theresa, what's wrong?" Fox couldn't understand why she was so upset.
Theresa could feel her whole body shaking.
"Fox, what is that!" She pointed to the computer screen.

"Theresa, I--" Fox's heart began to beat rapidly, as he struggled for words. He turned to Dylan, not able to look Theresa in the face. "Dylan, what are you doing man?! This is from a year ago! Why are you showing this to Theresa.?"
"So you did write that?!" Theresa yelled.
"Theresa no, you don't understand, that was so long ago! Way before I got to know you!" Fox tried to explain.
"I don't care how long ago it was Fox! You wrote it!" Theresa felt her blood temperature rise. "I don't believe this?! Is that what you think of me and Little Ethan? That I'm just SOME woman with a bastard son?!"
