Chapter 2

No Thanks for Giving

"Fox I really appreciate you doing this for me." Theresa said glancing at Fox who was concentrating on the road. "It's not a problem Theresa and I don't consider taking you to the beach as a favor so there is no need to thank me." He said giving her a mischievous smile. 'Damn she looks good.' He thought to himself.

Theresa was wearing a red bikini with shorts over the bottom, her hair was down and gently blowing in the wind. "Hey... Fox?" She asked. "Yes Theresa?" He said looking at her curiously. 'I hope it has nothing to do with precious little Ethan I'm not in the mood to hear anything that has to do with him.' He thought venomously.

"Why don't we get something to eat later since it is Thanksgiving and all?" She asked biting her bottom lip. "That sounds great Theresa, yeah after we have some fun we'll take a quick change and then we'll go have a great dinner." She smiled. She felt like giving Fox a hug she knew from the stories he had told her that Thanksgiving was one of his least favorite holidays since Thanksgiving meant having dinner with a family, a family that was never there for him.

'How many Thanksgivings did he miss as a child? How many did he spend at those boarding schools?' She thought sadly to herself. Theresa reached over and turned on the radio just as a song was ending, the next song started to play causing Theresa to silently cry.

~ Once doesn't mean anything to me, come show me the meaning of complete where... did our love go wrong once we were so strong how can I go on....

When you told me you loved me did you know it would take me the rest of my life to get over the feeling I know when a dream didn't turn out all right when you let me believe that you were incomplete with out me by your side how could I know that you would go that you would run baby I thought you were the one.~

Fox quickly looked at Theresa. The song had to remind her of Ethan. He saw the tears in her eyes and immediately wanted to reach over and wipe them away. He reached for the radio to turn it off but Theresa stopped him by quickly putting her hand on his. He looked into her pleading eyes. 'She cant forget him, why wont she let him go?' He quickly turned his gaze back to the rode he couldn't stand staring into her beautiful but sad brown eyes.

~Why... cant I just leave it all behind I... felt passion so bright that I was blind~

Theresa's hand still rested on his. Electric jolts shot through Fox's body, he had to pull away and rest both hands on the steering wheel. He didn't want to think that what he was feeling could actually make him think of Theresa as more then just a friend, 'A very attractive friend.' He thought with a smirk he shook it off and looked back at Theresa she was looking at the scenery that was flying past. She still had tears in her eyes as the song went on.

~to get over the feeling I know when a dream didn't turn out all right when you let me believe that you were incomplete with out me by your side how could I know that you would go that you would run baby I thought you were the one.~

'Why Ethan? Why cant I get you out of my head?' Theresa thought wiping away a tear that was tickling her cheek.

~Your lips your face something that time just can't erase my heart could break all over again....~

"Theresa this has got to stop!" Fox exclaimed surprising Theresa as he slammed off the radio. "What?" Theresa asked startled. "You know what I'm talking about, YOUR the reason why you can't get over Ethan, your not letting yourself forget him!" Fox yelled. "Please Fox don't yell at me." "I'm sorry Theresa but I cant stand this anymore your not letting yourself forget about Ethan." He said in exasperation.

"Maybe I don't want to forget him Fox." Theresa said quietly as if to herself. "Theresa you have to move on, Ethan doesn't want you anymore, don't you realize that maybe Ethan never really loved you that he might have only loved the thought of you." Fox said.

"What do you mean Fox?" "I mean that Ethan just loved you because you were different, you were his fantasy, something that wasn't Gwen but come on Theresa he landed up getting Gwen pregnant and leaving you for her." "He felt obligated to her because she was having his baby..." "That's right Theresa SHE was having his baby." He said stopping the car across the street from the beach. Fox turned of the ignition and turned to Theresa. "Theresa don't you realize that if Ethan really did love you deep enough he wouldn't have gotten Gwen pregnant?" "He was confused... he was hurting because... of all... the lies I had told him." She said looking down a tear sliding down her cheek. "Theresa I'm so sorry... don't cry please." Fox said wiping away her tears with a finger before pulling her into a tight embrace. "Come on Theresa I promised you some fun so lets have some fun, ok?" He said jumping out of the car and rushing to open her door. 'I will make you forget Ethan Theresa, I promise you Ethan is never going to hurt you ever again.' He thought as he opened the passenger side door and looked into the deep brown eyes of the girl that he was slowly falling for.
