Making Choices
Gwen and Theresa wait anxiously in their rooms for Ethan to come to them.
"Mother, you have to go, I don't want you here when Ethan comes!" Gwen says as she pushes her mother out the door.
"Humph, the nerve!" Rebecca walks by Theresa's door as she goes to the living room. "You little witch. There is no way Ethan will pick you over Gwen, not if I have anything to say about it!"
After Rebecca leaves, Ethan comes upstairs, and stands between Theresa and Gwen's door.
"This is it! I have to break one woman's heart, to be with the other. Please, God, let me be able to be happy with the woman who owns my heart. Let me be able to let the other woman down gently.."
Ethan then goes to one door, and knocks. The door opens, and he is ushered in.
"Ethan, I'm so glad you're here."
"Well, I told you I had a decision that I needed to make, and time to think it through."
"And I trust you made your decision?"
"Yes, I have."
"Okay, let's sit down and talk about it then."
The two sit. Ethan looks into the eyes of the woman next to him, and begins, "Gwen."
"Yes, Ethan?" She asks anxiously.
(Meanwhile, Theresa's room..)
"Oh, God, I've lost him! I swear I heard Gwen's door open and close. It can only mean that Ethan has picked her over me!" She quickly gets into her bed, and cries for all she's lost.
"Oh, Ethan, how am I going to go on without you?" She stares at Ethan's picture beside her bed, as she begins to cry again for losing the one love of her life.
"This isn't fair! Fate isn't supposed to do this to me!" (Back in Gwen's room)
"Well, Gwen, you asked me to make a decision. And, truthfully, it was only fair that I do that because it was very wrong of me to play you and Theresa."
"That's it, Ethan! Tell me you picked me!" Gwen thinks to herself. "Well, I hope you have come to a decision, so that all this can be put to rest?"
"I have, Gwen. You know, you and I have a lot of history together."
"Yes, we do, Ethan."
"And we've had some great times, always laughing, always sharing our hopes and dreams. It's like we've always been together, you know?"
"Yes, I know exactly what you mean."
"We've talked about our future a lot. We've always said that we would be so happy."
"Are you happy, Ethan?" Gwen asks curiously.
Ethan takes a deep breath, as he continues, "I am, Gwen. I'm happy because for the first time in my life, I know what I want."
"This is it! Ethan is going to tell me he wants me to be his wife!"
"And what do you want, Ethan?"
Ethan takes Gwen's hand in his, and then looks into her eyes. "I want for you to find the man that truly makes you happy. I want you to be able to love someone who in return, will love you unconditionally. Gwen, that man is not me. It hurts to say this, but I am not in love with you the way you are in love with me. I love you as a friend, and yes, at one time, was IN love with you. But, our lives have moved in different directions over the last few years. We are not the same people we once were. My heart is pointing me in a different direction. I hope you understand this, Gwen. I love Theresa. I want to spend my life with her."
"No, Ethan, you're crazy! You can't be serious!" Gwen says as she walks back and forth in her room.
"Gwen, I'm sorry."
"Sorry?! You're sorry?! You're actually choosing that bitch over me? What, is she great in bed, or something?" Ethan comes to his feet. "Gwen, please, it is not about sex."
"God, Ethan, of course it is! Sex is always on a guy's mind!"
"Gwen, it's not about sex. It's about love. And I'm sorry, but I don't love you the way I love Theresa."
"Just go, Ethan, go and get the hell out of my sight!"
After Ethan leaves, Gwen sits by her window, as her mother walks in.
"Well, are we planning a wedding?" Rebecca asks enthusiastically.
"Mother, leave me alone."
"Oh, no! No no! Tell me he didn't!" Rebecca says as she comes to Gwen's side.
"He's choosing Theresa over me. At this very moment, the man I love is going to ask another woman to marry him!"
"That bitch! We won't let her win, Gwennie! We'll get our revenge!"
"Mother, please, not right now. I can't deal with this."
(Meanwhile—Ethan stands outside of Theresa's room, holding a ring box in his hand.)
"My Theresa. I hope you will accept my proposal, and make me the happiest man ever. I love you so much, and I can't wait to be with you for the rest of my life." Taking a deep breath, he knocks on Theresa's door, and is let in.
