Broken Hearts
"What is going on here?!" Ethan asks as he storms into the Lopez-Fitzgerald home.
"Oh, Ethan..." Pilar says as she looks up at him.
"Pilar, what is going on, why are you crying?"
"Son...I'm so sorry to have to tell you this..."
"Dad? What is it? What happened?"
"It's Theresa, son. She's...god there is no easy way to say this...she's dead, Ethan."
"What?! That's impossible; I just spoke to her about 10 minutes ago! You're lying!"
"God, Ethan, I wish I wasn't. We got a phone call saying that there was a major accident on Route 170. When Hank and I got there, we saw a woman stuck inside her car, already pronounced dead. That woman was Theresa, Ethan, her identification in her purse proved it."
Ethan stared at his father, as he tried to think about everything that was just said.
Walking back and forth in the living room, Ethan starts talking. "No, no, not my Resa. You're all lying. She's alive. I know she's alive! She can't be dead! Oh God..Resa!!" Ethan suddenly crumbles to the floor as tears overtake his emotions.
Sam quickly goes to his son, trying to console him. "Ethan, I wish this wasn't true, but it is. I am so sorry, son. I really am."
Moving away from Sam, Ethan gets up off the floor and goes to Theresa's room, and sits on her bed.
"Pilar, Luis, if there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask." Sam says as he and Hank leave the house to let the family grasp the news.
"I have to call Sheridan, she needs to be here." Luis calls his wife, Sheridan Crane Lopez-Fitzgerald, and tells her what happened. Hearing that she is on her way, Luis goes to find his mother sitting in the kitchen.
"Ethan. How is Ethan going to get through this, dios mio! I've already lost my husband and oldest son, and now, my baby girl. God, why is this happening to my family?!"
"Mama, what can I do for you?" Luis asks.
"Pray, mi hijo. Pray for your sister. Please go look in on Ethan. I am so worried about him."
Luis goes to Theresa's room, and opens the door, finding Ethan looking through a scrapbook Theresa made of their relationship. He looks up to find Luis at the door.
"How is Pilar?"
"She's holding up as best she can. I think we're all in shock still." Luis says as he sits next to Ethan on Theresa's bed.
"I love your sister so much, Luis. She's the only woman in my heart. How can I go on without her? We were going to be married in a few months. We were looking forward to having babies, and a beautiful home. Now...now I feel like I have this huge hole in my heart, that no one can fill."
"I know how you feel, Ethan. I lost my baby sister. She made my life so full, you know?"
"Yeah, that was one of the reasons why I fell in love with her.."
Meanwhile...in another town...
"MMM...."
"That's it, honey, wake up. You need to eat some food."
Theresa wakes up slowly, feeling her body cringe at her movements. She looks around her, and sees a nurse standing next to the bed.
"Where am I?" She asks the nurse.
"You are at Castleton hospital, dear. You were in a terrible accident."
"Accident?" Theresa asks curiously.
"Yes. Do you know what today is?"
"Um.." Theresa thinks, but can't recall a day or date. "No, nurse, I don't." "Okay, honey. Why don't you go back to sleep, and I'll get the doctor to come see you."
After a few minutes
"Hi. I'm Doctor Henderson. I see you're starting to feel better, Theresa?"
"Theresa. That's my name?"
"According to our records it is. Now, I know you don't remember your accident, which is very common for patients to experience. The important thing is for you to rest, and take it easy, okay?"
"Okay, doctor."
