Chapter 10: a dream or a nightmare
Everyone gives Pilar a hug then they leave the hospital and head home. Chad over to Whitney's, Gwen sulking goes home; Miguel takes Charity back over to Tabitha house. Luis and Sheridan head over to the cottage. Ivy heads over to the mansion praying that Julian has gone to sleep and that Rebecca isn't there. Ethan and Pilar head over to the house. As they enter they see that there is no mess because Grace, Jessica, Kay and Simone all helped to clean it up.
Ethan heads over to the mantle and picks up a picture that was taken during their engagement party over at the Crane mansion. They are dancing getting lost in each other's eyes. The worst night of his life or it was until tonight. Tonight was worst than that night.
Pilar: You and Teresa make a cute couple.
Ethan: You think so?
Pilar: I know so. Come on I'll take you to Luis' room so you can get some sleep.
Pilar and Ethan walk to Luis' room
Ethan: I don't know if I can Pilar. Every time I close my eyes I see Teresa's pale face and her eyes before she slipped away from me. Those haunting eyes that I loved getting lost in.
Pilar: And you will again Ethan. I have faith that Teresa will pull through.
Ethan: You sound a lot like Teresa.
Pilar: Where do you think she got it from, I was once young and in love. Now it's time for you to get some rest. Teresa is going to need you to be strong.
Ethan: Teresa is my strength.
Pilar: And you are hers. Go and get some sleep. If you start getting a bad dream about Teresa remember the good times you both shared and that will chase away the bad dreams.
Ethan: Thank you Pilar.
Pilar: Good night Ethan. Sleep well mija.
Ethan: I'll try.
Pilar leaves Luis' room. Ethan gets out of his clothes. He is sitting on the bed in his boxers. He grabs his pants, pulls out his wallet where he finds his favorite picture of Teresa. Teresa has a shocked look on her face. The picture was taken at the Book Café.
Ethan: You have always hated this picture, I don't understand why. I love it because it shows off your eyes. The eyes that I fell in love with that lead me straight to your heart and soul. I miss you so much. Well I have to get some sleep if I want to stay in your mother's good graces.
Ethan kisses the picture and in his mind he is kissing Teresa on the lips.
Ethan: Good night Teresa. I'll see you in my dreams. I love you.
Ethan lays down pressing the picture close to his chest as he slowly drifts off to sleep.
~ Ethan's dream ~
Ethan is standing on a patio with a beautiful table set for a nice romantic dinner for two. There is soft sweet music playing in the background. The sun is just setting casting a glow over everything. Ethan is wearing a tux his hair is slicked back. He is holding a single red and white rose. He is standing at the rail looking out towards the ocean. He has a smile of contentment on his face.
Teresa: Ethan.
Ethan turns around and sees Teresa wearing strapless black full-length dress. Her hair is down curled softly around her face. She has a single diamond pendent hanging around her neck. She has very simple makeup on. Ethan hands her the rose then he puts his arms around her waist.
Ethan: You are so beautiful Teresa. I love you.
Teresa: I love you too. Dance with me Ethan.
Ethan cups Teresa's face gently gives her a sweet kiss on the lips. Then he takes her into in his arms and they start to dance. First looking into each other's eyes then he pulls her closer. He caresses her soft skin. She smells like roses.
Ethan: I could hold you like this forever.
Teresa: You wouldn't get any arguments from me. I feel so safe in your arms.
Ethan: The feeling is mutual. Ever since I found out that I wasn't a Crane the only place I can feel safe and loved is in your arms.
Teresa pulls back and looks at Ethan straight in the eyes.
Teresa: You're not angry that I didn't tell you, you were Chief Bennett's son?
Ethan: No Teresa I'm angry. I've forgiven you. I know you have your reasons why you didn't tell me. No I'm angry with the person who sent that information to the tabloids. They are the ones that have no conscience.
Teresa: Ethan I swear that I didn't send it.
Ethan: I know you didn't. You have nothing to gain from sending it and everything to lose. I happen to know that you don't have a mean bone in that gorgeous body of yours.
Teresa: Are you are so sure of that fact Mr. Winthrop?
Ethan: Yes, I have looked at you from every beautiful angle plus I also know your heart. You don't have it in you to do something that mean and nasty.
Teresa: I love you.
Ethan: I love you too. Now lets finish this dance so we can eat. I'm starved.
Teresa: I'm starved too but not for food.
Teresa grabs Ethan's face and pulls him in for a very passionate kiss. A shot is heard and Ethan feels Teresa's weight in his hands. He lays her on the floor. Blood oozes from her back.
Ethan: Teresa! No not again! Please God not again.
Teresa puts her hand on his face and with love in her eyes.
Teresa: I'll see you in my dreams.
A phone starts to ring as Teresa slips away.
Ethan: No you can't leave me Teresa!
Teresa starts to fades away right before his eyes.
Ethan: NOOOOOO!!!!
