Chapter 1

Friends

The sound of an alarm clock rung out through the rather large LA room as a girl with long black hair groggily rolled over and turned it off. She slipped out of bed and glided gracefully to her bathroom. She showered trying to escape the memory of the night before.

Theresa's tears slid down her face and mingled with the scolding hot water. "How could Ethan leave me?" She asked herself. She slid down the shower wall breaking down into fits of tears. Ethan was her life and now that he had chosen to no longer be with her she was alone.

She sat there on the shower floor as the water pored down on her, burning her skin but she didn't care because all she wanted was Ethan. "I can't give up on him." She said in between sobs. "I won't give up... I know he loves me."

Theresa said getting up and turning the shower off. She walked back into her room with only her towel on and sat on her bed. The memory of the night Ethan had brought Gwen to LA to see a specialist for her baby was still fresh in her mind, the night when Ethan had accidentally gotten into the same bed with her.

She reluctantly got up and began to change out of her towel into a pair of jeans and a baby blue tube top. She glanced at her clock, it was 9:30 a.m. "I might as well grab something to eat and see what Fox is up to."

Theresa walked into the kitchen, hoping that Fox would be in there. "Hey Beautiful what are you up to this fine morning?" Fox asked from his place at the kitchen counter. "Nothing much just decided to grab a bit of breakfast." She replied with a smile. Fox could always make her smile even when he said the simplest of things. "Well it looks like it's going to be you and me today since Whitney went back to Harmony. So after breakfast what would you like to do?" He asked looking at her with one of his heart melting smiles. "I don't know maybe we can hang by the pool or something, I don't feel like doing much today." Theresa said looking down at her feet.

"Are you all right Theresa?" Fox asked with concern. He immediately got up and walked over to her placing a comforting arm around her bare shoulders. At the sudden contact a jolt of electricity ran through her entire body. "Ah... I'm ok..." She said shrugging off his arm but quickly facing him with a smile not to make him feel like she didn't want to be comforted by him.

"Theresa you shouldn't sulk about what has happened between you and Ethan why don't you start over." He said. "I know," He said with excitement, "go put on your bathing suit I'm taking you to the beach." "But Fox..." "No buts Theresa go." He said giving her a gentle shove. "All right, all right I'm going." She said with a laugh. "I'm going to make sure you forget about my dear half brother Ethan today Theresa, I promise you that." Fox said watching Theresa as she walked out of the kitchen and into her room.
