Chapter 5
Teresa walked back into the apartment and slammed Fox's keys down on the table.
"Woah, Teresa, are you okay?" Fox asked.
"No, Fox, I'm not. This whole situation is just ridiculous."
"Yeah, I know. Can you believe it? Chad's married." He sat down on the sofa and motioned for Teresa to take the seat beside him. "How's Whitney?"
She rolled her eyes and sat down beside him. "She's understandably upset, but she's not even going to give Chad the benefit of the doubt."
Fox looked at her confused, "And you would?"
"Yes, I would. I've thought a lot about it, Fox. What Chad did is not a lot different from what I pulled with Ethan. Marrying Julian and then trying to hide my pregnancy and leading Ethan to believe it was his." She looked Fox squarely in the face. "I know I should have leveled with Ethan from the beginning, but I was so afraid I would loose him. Rebecca and Gwen were just waiting in the bushes for me to make a mistake. They were there waiting to pounce on me and they did." Tears fell down her face. "I needed Ethan, Fox. I was so scared. Here I was, nineteen years old and pregnant and I didn't know what to do, who to turn to. He left me, Fox. He abandoned me when I needed him the most."
Fox took her hand in his, "I'm sorry, Teresa. I would have never abandoned you like that."
"I just hope Whitney wakes up and sees what she had standing in front of her. Chad loves her with all his heart. He would do anything for her."
"But he kept the truth from her, Teresa. Do you not think he was wrong to do that?" Fox asked.
"I do, Fox. Don't get me wrong. Chad should have told Whitney about his past, but sometimes it's just not that simple. Sometimes there are things in your past that are just better left alone. He thought he was divorced and he left L.A for Harmony with every intention of starting a new life. How was he to know that his wife never turned in the divorce papers."
"Things like this always seem to find a way of sneaking out, Teresa. It doesn't matter how much you try to forget them or how deep you think you've buried them." He sighed, he really should be taking his own advice. Oh well, no matter. He, of course, was a Crane. He always got what he wanted, and Whitney was no exception.
"Tell me something I don't already know." She sighed. "I just hate to see Chad hurt. I know what it's like to love someone and then them turn their back on you."
"Don't worry, Teresa. Everything will work out in the end. It always does."
"I guess you're right, Fox."
"You'll see, the people who are meant to be together will be together. No doubt about it."
***Let me know what you think. I've back tracked a little and I hopefully will catch up to current storylines and then write it how I think it should be written. Don't worry though, just like Fox says, the people who are meant to be together will be together!"
