To Love Again

Chapter 9
Bad News and a Mystery
The two men who had helped Theresa and Fox earlier called for a stretcher. Fox was rolled into the hospital Theresa in tow. "Don't worry Fox I'll be right here with you." Theresa said grabbing his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Everything is going to be all right."
The doctor yelled out orders to the medical assistants. Fox weakly smiled up at her, he was so happy that she didn't fall to her death because of him.
'I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her.' He thought. 'Was father right when he said that when we Cranes love we hurt the people dear to us?'
Theresa was stopped and led to a separate room. Theresa refused to leave Fox alone. "I can't leave him I need to be there with him!" Theresa yelled at the doctor.
"Miss he's in good hands don't you worry." The doctor said trying to calm he down. "Now I would like to check your vitals to see if everything is in proportion and clean up those scraps and cuts you have."
**************
Theresa had been given a sedative to help her sleep. The doctors had wanted her to stay over night just to be sure she was 100 %. When she woke up her mind immediately thought of Fox.
'Where could he be? Is he ok? I have to go look for him.' She sat up noticing immediately that she had been changed into a hospital gown. She went to the closet and grabbed her clothes and quickly put them on.
She ran down the hallways looking for his room but couldn't find it. 'Where could he be?' Theresa thought practically in hysterics. Theresa slowed down retracing her steps.
'Maybe while I was rushing passed I skipped his room.' Theresa walked slowly in the direction she had come. Finally she came to a room that she had missed.
Beside the door was Fox's name. She pushed the curtain aside and walked in. Theresa put her hand to her mouth to hold back a scream. The bed was empty and made. 'No Fox was all right when I saw him last... He can't be dead.'
She walked over to the bed and touched the pillow. "No... This can't be happening... Fox...He's too young to die he had so much to live for, he can't die, he just can't... I haven't gotten the chance... the chance to tell him that... that I love him.'
Theresa's mind raced. "I Love Fox... I never thought I could love anyone besides Ethan." She said out loud tears rolling down her now pale cheeks.
I promised him that I'd be with him... where was I when he died... I should have been there... I should have been there.' She sank to the floor clutching the pillow, her tears soaking through it quickly.
Now the memories of Fox occupied her mind instead of Ethan. 'Of course I still love Ethan but Fox... I love him to, maybe even more now.' "Excuse me miss?" Said a voice from behind her.
Theresa turned around quickly. "Fox?"
"Oh... I'm sorry Eric... I hoped you were...never mind." "You were hoping that I was that man that you were with, Fox, I went to your room but you weren't there so I assumed that you were here."
He said walking toward her. She stood up from her position on the floor. "I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss." Thank you... Theresa said tears still rimming her eyes.
How was she ever supposed to get over this, the man that she had fallen in love with. 'Maybe I was already in love with him I just didn't know it.'
***Flashback***
Fox immediately got up and walked over to her placing a comforting arm around her bare shoulders.
***
Neither one of them made a move as they stared into each others eyes. Fox slowly moved upward and hesitantly placed his lips onto hers, he was surprised that she actually kissed back. The kiss deepened into a more passionate kiss.
***
She looked into his eyes as she got out. She gasped as her senses just seemed to rush passed her she went numb as she seemed to fall into their hazel green depth.
***
Fox was leaning against the wall, his arms were casually folded across his chest. When he saw Theresa he straightened his posture but was astounded when he saw how beautiful she looked.
***
They sat on that ledge in each others arms just glad that they had both survived both realizing that they were falling... falling deeply and madly in love with one another.
***End Flashback***
Theresa's knees went weak. She sat down on the bed bursting into uncontrollable tears. Eric rushed to her side and put a comforting arm around her.
Theresa at that moment felt her heart break and her breathing became labored. Eric put Theresa's head to rest on his chest. "It's going to be ok, everything is going to be ok." He said brushing back the hair that had fallen onto her face.
She began to whimper until finally she fell asleep. He laid out Theresa's body looking down at her. 'She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping.' He thought to himself. A cruel smile spread across his face.
'Too bad Theresa... but at the rate you were going I wasn't about to let you into the Crane family AGAIN... too bad.'
