"Oh my God! What did I do!?" She gasped as she covered her mouth.
The man beside Theresa started to wake up as Theresa got up quickly and began to put her clothes on. She stared at him for a bit just trying to remember who he was and what exactly happened, but nothing came to her mind. Finally the man sat up in bed and smiled like everything was a big joke. Theresa didn't know just how she was being played for a fool.
"What's the hurry?" He said as he tried bringing her back into the bed.
"I'm getting married today!" She shouted as she tried removing his hand from her. "Who are you?"
"Don't you remember me?"
"No," she said softly as she put her hand on her head. "All I know is I have a bad headache."
"I'm Alex. We met at the bar last night."
"Now it's all coming back to me slowly," she said as she sat down in a chair far away from the bed and Alex. "Can you please tell me if we....if we...?" She couldn't say it, just the very thought of it made her teeth cringe.
"If we had sex?" He laughed.
Theresa nodded her head as she took a deep breath.
"Yes, Theresa, we had sex."
Theresa felt her whole world collapsing as he told her the horrifying truth. She had gotten drunk and cheated on the best man in her life, she cheated on the love of her life. Now what was she to do? Could she tell him the truth? When should she tell him? How would Fox handle this crushing blow? So many thoughts ran throughout her mind as she sat there silently.
"You okay?" He asked as he placed his hand upon her thigh.
"I'm fine," she said as she jumped up. "I'm sorry, but I have to go."
"Where is Theresita?" Pilar asked Luis. "She hasn't been home all night. How can she do that when her wedding is just in a few hours?"
"Mama, I'm sure Theresa was just with Whitney or another friend. She probably wanted to be alone for the night. Maybe she rented a hotel room for the night."
"Maybe, but I don't think so, Luis. I hope she hasn't gotten herself into trouble."
At that moment Theresa walked through the front door looking like a wreck. Luis and Pilar both began to wonder if Theresa had after all gotten herself into trouble. Theresa could feel them staring at her even though her head was lowered in shame. What could she say to them to hide the truth?
"Theresita, where have you been!?"
"Out," was all she could say.
"Where have you been all night long?" Luis asked.
"I was by Whitney's if you must know. I wanted to spend my last night before I got married with her."
"Why didn't you call?" Pilar asked now that she could breath a sigh of relief.
"It slipped my mind. I'm sorry, Mama."
"Well never mind all of that. You need to get ready. Your wedding is in just a few hours."
Theresa nodded her head as she went upstairs to take a nice warm shower. She needed to cleanse herself from the shame she committed.
Fox sat in his room looking at his suit that laid before him. Could he put it on and go through with it? Could he hurt Theresa like that? His thoughts were interrupted as he heard a knock at his door. "Come in," he called as he sat where he was. "What do you want?" he asked as he rolled his eyes at Rebecca.
"Here," she said passing him an envelope.
"What's this?"
"Open and find out."
Fox was rather horrified at what he found inside. At that moment he realized just what kind of monster he had turned into to.
"Are these real?"
"Real as my marriage to your father," she laughed at the pleasure of seeing others hurt.
"Did she get hurt?"
"Why should you care, Fox? I thought you wanted revenge on that little chalupa. Wait a minute," she paused, "you still have feelings for that south of the border immigrant, don't you?"
Fox shot a glance that sent chills up and down her spine, "Of course I don't! That bitch needs to pay and tonight everything will happen!"
"Good, good. Well, if you'll excuse me I have to have these mailed."
Fox sat in his chair thinking back to the pictures he had just seen. It seemed like Theresa wasn't really hurt. She had only been drugged so the pictures could be taken place. She didn't really have sex with Alex so in reality nothing that bad happened to her. This eased his mind a bit, long enough so he could get dressed.
Theresa paced her room nervously as she watched the clock go by slowly. It seemed like hours passed by, but only a few minutes had. Theresa was all ready to go, but something was keeping her back from going to the church...her conscience. Theresa felt guilty about the previous night. She needed to tell someone what happened, she needed to tell Fox. But how could she tell the man that she was about to marry that she slept with another man the night before their wedding because she got too drunk? She felt that it was impossible to tell him and still get married to him. She had waited for this day for so long and now she knew that because of her stupid mistake it could all blow up in her face.
Theresa turned her head at the sound of a knock at her door. In walked Whitney, who could not be any happier for her best friend. Whitney knew something was wrong when Theresa sighed as though something was troubling her. Whitney sat beside Theresa and put her arm around her, letting her know she was there to listen.
"Oh Whitney!" She began to cry. "I've done something horrible!"
"I'm sure it can't be that bad, Theresa," she said trying to chase away Theresa's fears.
"But it is."
Whitney could tell in Theresa's eyes that this was probably one of the worst situations she had ever been in. She took a deep breath and listened intently to Theresa's problem.
"Last night after I left the Book Cafe, I stopped at a bar for a drink to calm my nerves. I felt like someone was following me and I figured that I was just paranoid. I had two drinks and I met this guy...."
"Oh no! Please tell me you didn't," Whitney begged.
"I had a dance with him and I felt sick so I asked him to take me home. Well, we ended up at a hotel. I woke up this morning naked beside him. Whit, I cheated on Fox," she said with tears streaming down her cheeks. "I don't know what to do. If I tell Fox we won't get married, but if I don't we'll get married and I'll be marrying him while keeping this huge secret from him. I can't do either, Whit."
"Theresa, honey, you need to tell Fox the truth no matter what happens. He deserves to know the truth."
"I know, I know. Whit, I can't lose him like I lost Ethan. I don't think I could handle another blow like that."
"You made your bed and now you must lie."
"Theresita, it's time," Pilar said as she interrupted them.
"Okay, Mama. I'll be down in a minute."
"What are you going to do?" Whitney asked once Pilar left the room.
"Get married to Fox and tell him what happened in a few days. I need to get my facts straight before I tell him."
"So you're going to lie to him?" Whitney asked a little annoyed with what Theresa's plans were.
She nodded her head, "I can't lose him like this, Whit. Not yet."
"Due to bad weather conditions, we are forced to land outside of our destination," the stewardess announced to the passengers.
"This can't be happening!" Dylan said in frustration. "I have to get to Harmony!"
Dylan was lucky enough to rent a car at the airport upon his arrival. But would he make it in time to stop Fox?
As Fox stood before his family and friends waiting for the ceremony to start, Rebecca walked by him asking him if he was ready. Fox knew this was his last chance to put this stupid game of revenge to end, but the events of that night ran throughout his head once more.
"I'm ready."
Theresa started to shake as she waited for the ceremony to begin. Whitney tried to make Theresa tell Fox the truth before it was too late, but it was no use, Theresa's mind was settled. The music began to play as Whitney walked down the isle with Chad. Luis could tell that something was wrong with Theresa and as they walked down the isle he tried to get it out of her, but Theresa lied by saying that she was just so excited and nervous.
Fox couldn't believe how beautiful Theresa looked. He knew that what happened the previous night was tearing her heart in two. He hated the monster that he had become. How could he do such a thing to someone he loved so much? But that all didn't matter much now, Theresa was now standing beside him anxiously waiting for Father Lonagin to pronounce them as man and wife. Fox took a deep breath as he knew what was to come.
The ceremony went off great until Father Lonagin asked the most dangerous question, "At this time, I ask if anyone should hold cause to why these two should not be married. Speak now or forever hold your peace."
Theresa turned to Whitney who looked as though she was going to say something, but Theresa shot her a glance that told her to keep quiet. It wasn't Whitney that Theresa had to worry about though.
"Stop this wedding!" Julian shouted as he entered the church with a large envelope in his hand.
A look of disbelief appeared on Theresa's face. Yet another wedding of hers had been interrupted by one of her fiancee's parents. Fox knew it was now his time to face his greatest acting challenge.
"What are you doing!?" Fox shouted angrily at his father.
"Fox, you can't marry her. I forbid it!"
"On what grounds?"
Julian shook his head as he just passed the envelope to his son. Theresa had no clue what he was looking at, but she knew once Fox threw the pictures at her as though she was some cheap prostitute.
"I can explain!" She cried as she tried to come close to him.
"Get away from me! You're nothing, but a cheap slut!"
"No! No!" She cried, "Fox, please listen to me!"
Everyone who attended what was suppose to be a joyous event grew silent, they were in shock that Theresa had done such a stupid thing. Theresa looked for someone to come and stand up for her, but no one did, not even her family.
"I'm sorry!"
"Your apologizes won't get you anywhere with me, Theresa," he said coldly. "I thought you loved me, I thought we could trust each other. I guess I was wrong," he said walking away.
"No, Fox, please don't!" She said as she pulled him by his arm.
Fox removed her hands from him and said, "I never would've thought that you would do such a thing to me in a million years. You've ruined our future together."
"No! Don't say that!"
"Goodbye, Theresa."
Theresa couldn't stand the pain, she needed to escape and escape is just what she did. She ran not knowing where she was going. Fox stood outside of the church realizing that he had lost his best friend and true love. Dylan saw Fox standing there and he hoped that it was not too late.
"Did you do it?" He asked as he approached him.
Fox nodded his head not saying a word.
"You've really done it this time, Fox."
"Don't you think I know that?" He said, pissed off at his actions.
"I really don't know anymore, Fox, but...what I do know is that you need to go after her. Try to set things straight."
"She won't speak to me," he said as he threw a rock at the ground trying to release some of his anger.
"Maybe after I talk to her she will."
"You'll do that?" He asked as his eyes lit up.
"Yeah, you're my best friend, Fox. Even though you've messed up many times before, I still love you. I'll give you a call once I talk to her."
"Thanks man."
"You owe me," Dylan smiled as he walked away leaving Fox with his thoughts.
"I only hope she'll listen to him."
