Chapter 29
Comforting a Friend
Hand in hand Theresa and Fox walked along the Harmony wharf. They had spent the day basically relaxing and just having fun. Theresa was now laughing at what Fox was telling her. "I could just see you sliding down that boarding school banister." "Hey I was bored how was I to know I would run into the headmistress." He said. She began to laugh even harder, she began to actually feel her sides begin to ache.
"Excuse me my little dreamer but what do you think is so funny? The fact that I slid down a banister or the fact that I knocked my headmistress onto her ass?" "...I think... both are a pretty funny picture..." She said trying to keep a straight face but failed miserably. 'I can't believe I wasted my time over Ethan when this perfect man was standing right in front of me.'
Fox stopped and gently swung her around looking into her eyes. "I love you Theresa." He said tenderly. "Well I love you Nicholas Foxworth Crane." She said as Fox grimaced at the use of his birth name. "I seriously don't get why you don't like your first name I think it's kind of cute." She said looking up into his eyes teasingly. "You really think so? I just never liked it because it was a name that I personally thought didn't fit me and manly because it was just a name thrown on me by parent's who didn't care."
"Oh Fox, I know your mother isn't exactly a saint... well she's no were near close to one but I'm sure she loves you in her own little way and so does Julian I'm sure." "I know your right they probably do love me but not the proper way parents should love their son, mother was brooding over Ethan so much she had no time for me, which was why boarding school was the best way to get rid of me and father well he just had fun fooling around to have time for me... you've heard all of this before there's no need for me to have to tell you again." He said somewhat sadly.
Theresa stood a little on her tip toes and gave Fox a kiss leaving Fox grinning. "What was that for?" He asked. "Because I love you and I don't like it when you're sad." She said touching his cheek. He placed his hand on hers and caressed it with his thumb. "Do you know how sweet you are?" "No but I try." He said with a laugh.
They began walking until they found themselves at the book café. They walked in and spotted Whitney sitting at a table with, surprisingly, Chad. "I thought Whitney didn't want to be with Chad anymore." "Yeah, well, I don't know... let's go find out shall we." He said leading her over to the table. "Theresa honey, how are you?" Said Whitney once she spotted Theresa.
"I'm fine Whit..." Said Theresa looking back at Chad in confusion. Whitney thinking that Theresa still didn't have her memory back looked over to Fox. "Well I'm sorry for not calling with the news sooner but Theresa got her memory back yesterday." "Oh Theresa honey that's great." Said Whitney as she gave Theresa a hug.
"Thanks, I'm just so happy that it's all over with." "Chad stood and said hello to Theresa and Fox. They all sat down while Chad explained his presence in Harmony. Things, from what Chad said, were cleared up with Latoya and he was here to talk Whitney into forgiving him which seemed like it was working but Theresa could see immediately that her best friend was in some sort of turmoil.
"Whitney do you mind coming to the ladies room with me?" "Oh not at all Theresa." She said standing. They both walked into the bathroom. "What is it Theresa?" Whitney immediately asked. "There's something wrong Whit now tell me what's up." Whitney sighed deeply and leaned against the bathroom wall. "Theresa for the past few weeks I've been going through hell."
"Why what's wrong?" Asked Theresa. "I think, no I know that my mother is cheating on my father with Julian Crane." "Julian? But why?" "I don't know but I've seen them both hugging and kissing and my mother denies everything when I've talked to her." "Are you sure?" "Yes I'm sure... I've replayed everything over and over hoping that I might have been wrong but I know I'm not... to believe that I once looked up to my mother I wanted to be just like her but now I know that she's a hypocrite and a down right whore."
She said as she paced the small bathroom. "Whitney don't say that... I'm sure there's an explanation..." "No Theresa there is no explanation because my mother doesn't have one she just lies and says that it's not what it looks like but has no proof to back up what she says, she is just a liar and a whore." she said breaking down. Theresa took her sobbing friend and tried comforting her the best way she could.
"Did you tell your father?" She asked. "I want to but I don't know any more... I don't want to hurt Simone in all of this, she hates me as it is, I don't want to cause anymore pain in her life and when my father finds out that my mother isn't as pure as he thinks she is, he would just be destroyed." "Oh Whitney I'm so sorry."
Whitney sighed. "That's alright Theresa... I'm just sorry that I didn't get to visit you that much when you were going through this whole memory loss thing I guess I wasn't much of a friend." "That's alright Whit, I mean you had a lot that you were dealing with yourself, I understand."
After a few more minutes they went back to join Fox and Chad. "What took you ladies so long? I thought that one of us was going to have to go and fish you out of there." Said Fox jokingly. "No we were fine we just were talking." Fox was going to ask what about but decided against it when he thought he was probably better off not knowing.

Ethan sat in a corner of his room in darkness , a glass of scotch in his hand. Since he had left Gwen he was now staying at Grace's bed and breakfast until he found a better place to stay. By looking at him you wouldn't have recognized him. He hadn't shaved and he had stubble growing in, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were unkempt.
He opened his eyes and rubbed his face, trying to shake away the tiredness he felt. 'How could you let yourself get like this Ethan?' He asked himself. 'It's just a little girl you could have more if you want.' He told himself again but he felt a pressure in his stomach that was making his head feel as heavy as lead. 'It's not just Sarah, it's the lies I've been told all of my life. My mother, Gwen, Theresa. They all seemed to be woman, I guess that's what you call woman trouble.' He thought half heartedly.
He just wanted to see them all suffer. Gwen he let her pay enough, he left her when she obviously still needed him. His mother... now he knew the truth, his mother wasn't all he thought she was, he would rather see how far she could dig her own grave before she fell into it. Theresa... now Theresa was different. She was happily involved with Fox and there was no way that she was going to suffer unless something was done.
"But how..." He asked himself. Then his eyes lit up and he gave a small evil grin.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: I don't know what I'm doing, I'm making Ethan really evil. I feel bad for him now, he's not all that bad... *sigh* I hope you still like this story with Ethan being this evil. Please tell me what you think so I can be at ease about the whole situation. Oh and if it helps any think about the whole Charity thing how miss goody, goody went bad just think of Ethan in that ordeal.
I'm also really sorry that this update took so long but I've been grounded from using the computer and actually I'm still grounded from it. I have a cold and no one is home so I'm pretty much free to update. I hope you all aren't mad at me. Please forgive me. /(^_^)\
