Chapter 4 Part 1:
Theresa folded the note back up and placed it in her purse. She went upstairs to tell Ethan she was going. As she walked up the stairs she was remembering what God had told her.
Flashback Begins:
"Theresa when you fall into your deep sleep, you will have some dreams."
"What kind of dreams?"
"One's that will forever change you.You will be going throught all of the decads from 1900-2000. You will get a new perspective on certain things."
"What things?"
"You'll learn them on your own."
"Wait!" She called out, but God had already left.
Flashback Ends:
"What things?" Theresa asked herself softly. "Should I be going to meet Fox, I mean Nick? What if Ethan finds out? He'll be devestated!"
"Who'll be devestated?" Ethan asked as he crossed paths with his wife.
"Oh no one! I was just thinking about a book I read." She lied.
"Oh! When are you leaving?"
"Right now, I came to let you know."
"Okay, good luck. Do you know what time you'll be home?"
"No, you don't have to wait up for me."
"Okay bye."
"Bye," she said as she kissed him softly on his cheek.
She glanced at the clock and realized she would be late if she didn't hurry up. So she grabbed her coat because it looked chilly out and headed out the door. She walked down the street watching the group of little children playing baseball. She smiled remember being in her old country with her family.
Flashback Begins:
"Theresita! Come home!" Mama shouted. "Theresita! Where on earth is that girl?" Mama asked her son, Mickey, her youngest son.
"Don't ask me! I've been doing my duties."
"Oh yes. Where are your other brothers?"
"Louie and Andy are out washing the clothes. Remember, mama?" He asked.
"Oh yes, how could I forget. Go get your brothers and have them look for Theresita."
"Yes, mama."
Mickey ran to find his brothers. They were done washing clothes so they decided to have an apple and relax for a little bit.
"Louie! Andy!" Mickey shouted.
"What?" Louie asked.
Mickey finally approached them breathlessly.
"Theresita is missing again. Mama wants you to look for her."
"Again? Where is that girl going off to?" Louie said angrily.
"Louie, calm down. Theresa is just a little girl." Andy told him.
"So is Pam and she isn't missing everyday."
"Pam is only 1 year old." Andy pointed out.
"So?"
"Come on we better look for her." Mickey told them both so they would stop bickering.
They split up and searched some of the spots that they usually would find Theresa at. They met up again and realized that no one had found Theresa.
"Mama must be worried." Mickey said.
"Yes. Mickey go home and stay with mama while we keep searching." Andy said.
"Okay."
"Louie, there has to be a spot we didn't think of looking."
Louie thought and thought until he realized they didn't look somewhere.
"Andy, what about the grave yard?"
"I forgot all about it. Come on, let's go."
There they found Theresa. She was kneeling before a grave which they all knew. With a candle in one hand and a hankercheif in the other, she wept. Louie and Andy stopped dead in their tracks. They knew how much Theresa loved him. They all loved him very much. They walked up silently to her placing their hands and her shoulders. She turned her head wondering who was there. When she noticed her brothers she smiled.
"Did mama send you?" She asked while wipping away her tears.
They nodded.
"Well, I better get home. Bye, papa." She fixed some flowers on his grave and walked away with Louie and Andy.
"Theresa, you know he's still with us." Andy said.
"No he's not! He's dead! Stiff as a board!" She screamed.
It had only been a few days since the funeral and Theresa was use to not having her father around.
"Well if your going to act like this for the rest of your life, maybe he's better off dead!" Louie said in anger.
Andy and Theresa both looked at Louie in shock.
"You don't mean that." Andy said kindly.
"I do!"
"Louie, I'm so sorry. I...I....," she fought to find the right words to say, "I just never thought that this would happen. I'm just so scared about what's going to happen to us."
Louie calmed down as the walked back home silently.
"Theresa, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to our family. We'll always be together." He hugged her tightly.
1 year later.
"Theresa," Andy could hardly speak, "take care of mama and Pam."
"I will." She cried.
"I'll always love you."
"I love you, Andy." Theresa cried before she ran off into a empty room.
Theresa heard mama let out a big cry. She knew he had passed on. Louie came out holding mama trying to comfort her.
"He's with papa." Louie told her.
She just kept crying. Pam didn't exactly understand what was going on. Aunt Sophie agreed to take her to London because it would be too hard for her sister to raise 4 children on her own now that her oldest son and husband was gone.
3 months later.
"Mama, I'm going to get a hoe from the store!" Mickey shouted.
"Okay, be carefull." She said.
"Mickey, can you stop and pick up the mail?" Theresa asked. "I'm expecting a letter from Pam."
"Okay." He laughed.
Mickey got into the carriage and went off to the store. It had been about a half hour since Mickey left. Louie ran into the house with tears in his eyes.
"Mama! Theresa!" He shouted for them.
"Something wrong?" Theresa asked.
"Mickey's been hurt!"
"What? How? Is he.....?" She couldn't say it.
Louie stared at the floor while he told her what happened.
"I heard this from Bobbie and I went to see if it was true and it was. Mickey was on his way back from the store when this happened. The carriage broke off so Mickey got on the horse and was going to come back for the carriage later with me. Well he got on the horse, when all of the sudden the horse became hysterical. It went crazy! It threw Mickey off, or at least that's what I thought, but Mickey's clothes were entangled in the ropes and raines."
"Oh no!" Theresa screamed.
"The horse dragged Mickey for 2 miles. No one could stop the horse. Finally when I found about it I was able to stop the horse."
"Oh thank you, Lord!" Mama said. They didn't know she had been listening. "Is he okay?"
"Mama, Mickey's dead."
"Dead, dead, dead." That word stuck in Theresa's mind.
"When I stopped the horse I untangled Mickey and felt for a pulse, but I couldn't find nothing. He wasn't breathing. I'm so sorry, mama." Louie cried.
"Why does our family have to suffer?" Theresa asked herself.
8 years later.
"Amen!" The whole congrigation said in praise.
Theresa notices that her mama is sweating very heavy and fanning herself alot. It was winter, so she didn't understand what was going on.
Theresa begins to sing her solo, "Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved and set me free......."
"Boom!" Theresa watches as her mama falls to the ground.
"Mama!" She screamed. The member of the choir hold her back. Louie runs and checks for a pulse. He begns to cry uncontrolably.
"No! Mama!" Theresa screamed as she wept.
Louie and Theresa sit in the empty house. It felt like the walls were closing in on them. They had just finished burring mama.
"Theresa, if you need to talk I'm hear for you."
"Don't even say that!" She screamed. "You said that nothing would happen to our family. That we'd always be together. Ha! Look at us! Mama, Papa, Mickey, and Andy are dead! And Pam is gonna be next with her illness. You lied! I hate you!" Theresa ran out of that house and never returned. She didn't know whether Pam did die or if Louie had a family of his own. She did regret it, but she couldn't fix the past. That was that.
Flashback Ends:
Theresa could see Nick from where she was. She thought about turning around, but she didn't. Theresa could never turn back once she did something.
"Hello beautiful!" He said anxiously.
"Hi." She said shyly.
"Want a drink?"
"I'd rather not." She was so nervous someone might see her.
"Here how about I get some wine and we can go to this place I know? We'll be all alone." He suggested.
"Okay, but hurry up."
They sat on the bed in the hotel room just doing nothing.
"Want some wine now?" He asked.
"Uh... I don't think so."
"Here try some. You'll like it."
She took a sip and ended up finishing the glass. She actually finished half of the bottle. They both were very tipsy. Theresa had never been like this, and she loved it! Theresa laid on the bed, she looked like an angel on earth to Nick. Nick slowly moved on top of her.
"Do you like top or bottom?" He asked.
"Uh.....," she didn't know what to say since she was still a virgin.
"Nevermind." He kissed her passionately on her lips then moved down her neck.
She could feel his warm breath against her skin. She ripped his shirt off and started to kiss his neck gently, but after getting use to this her kissed became more passionate. Nick and her were undressed now. Kissing wasn't enough for him.
"Ready?" He asked.
Meanwhile back at Harmony Hospital.
"Eve, how is she?" Pilar asked the next morning.
"Well we have some test results."
"How are they?" Fox asked joining them.
"Theresa, as you know is in a coma. And we aren't getting very good signs of brain activity."
"Is that bad?" Fox asked. He was so worried about Theresa.
"Well it could be, but it's too early to see yet. Theresa suffers from swelling of the brain and massive head injuries. Excuse me for a moment."
"Oh no." Pilar said.
"Theresa's going to be fine. If I could I would take my own life if it would help." Fox tried to comfort Pilar.
Pilar smiled weakly.
"Will you excuse me, Fox? I have to go inform everyone."
"Of course." Fox walked around thinking. He didn't know what to do. He was going out of his mind worrying about her. He walked into the chappel, something he never really did. He lit a candle for Theresa and sat down. No one else was in there.
"God, I know I don't really pray to you, but I need your help. It's Theresa. Never in my life have I ever felt so loved. She's the one, God. Please don't take her away. If you must take someone, take me. Save her. She doesn't deserve this. You know if it wasn't for Ethan that night he kicked Gwen out I was going to propose to Theresa. We could've had such a wonderfull life. We still can, but that's up to you. Please you already have so many angels up there. Just let my angel live here. You know she's changed me. I can't explain how or why, but I know it's because of her. Thanks for listening. You're not so bad afterall." Fox smiled.
