She winced as the razor cut her soft flesh, immediately revealing a trail of blood.
~This will make the pain go away~ she thought as she cut the other wrist.
~ Now nothing can hurt me. ~
"TERESA!" she heard a distance voice calling her.
"Damn it Fox," she muttered to herself. "I can't let you see me like this."
She quickly got up from the bathroom floor and ran to the door, making sure it was locked.
She went over to the mirror and looked at her reflection.
She hated the person staring back.
This was the person who had lost everything.
She heard a soft knock on the door.
"Teresa?"
"I'll be out in a minute Fox," she answered, her voice quivering.
Fox felt his heart stop. He hated hearing the sound of pain and sorrow in her voice.
He knew that ever since Gwen and Ethan had adopted Little Ethan as their own son that Teresa hadn't been dealing with it well. She barely ate or slept. She never tried to interact or socialize with her family or friends.
"Teresa are you ok?"
She didn't respond.
He c could hear muffled crying through the door.
"Teresa, I'm coming in."
He tried to turn the knob but it was locked.
"Shit." He whispered.
"Teresa, open the door please. Tell me what's wrong."
A single tear rolled down his cheek.
"Resa please…"
No response.
"DAMN IT TERESA OPEN THE DOOR!" he banged on it as loud as he could.
Finally, he heard the lock turn.
"Teresa?" he choked out.
She slowly opened the door, standing in front of him. Her face was stained with tears and unhappiness.
Fox didn't notice any of that.
All he noticed was the blood.
"What did you do?" he whispered.
She hiccupped a small sob.
"I just want the pain to go away…" she trailed off, collapsing onto the floor in a heaving sob.
"Just make it go away…just make it go away," she repeated, rocking back and forth.
Fox bent down beside her, too afraid to touch her. Her fragile body was like glass…
He didn't want to break her.
"It will be ok Resa…" he said, softly stroking her hair.
He placed on hand on the small of her back.
"It will be ok…"
Her sobs grew louder, slowly breaking Fox's heart into a million pieces.
He wrapped her body in his arms, trying to calm her down.
"I don't want to live anymore." She whispered.
"Don't say that."
"I wish I was dead."
He shut his eyes, not wanting to hear what she was saying.
"Teresa, what would I do if you were gone? Huh? What would I do?"
He placed his fingers under her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
"You have so much to live for. Why can't you see that?"
He saw a tear slowly fall from the corner of her eye.
He leaned in and kissed it away.
"Things will get better Resa," he breathed into her ear.
She pulled back, searching his face, wanting to believe him.
She gave a half smile as she brushed a stray piece of hair that had fallen over his eyes.
"Fox, what would I do without you?"
He didn't answer, not wanting to face the reality of that question. The truth is, without him, Teresa probably wouldn't be here.
He smiled, trying to mask his fear.
"Well you don't ever have to wonder about that because I will always be here."
She sighed.
"I'm glad."
He slowly stood up, helping her to her feet. When they were standing, he grabbed her hand, gently kissing it.
"Don't scare me like this again Resa…alright?"
"Alright Fox." She agreed.
He leaned in hugging her tightly, not wanting to let go. She was his everything.
"I love you forever.," he cried into her hair, his own tears finally escaping.
She cried.
They stood like this for what seemed like an eternity. Fox knew it wouldn't be easy but he would help Teresa get better.
He would always be there for her.
Forever.
