Hi guys! Glad you like it! And don't worry, I'm getting these chapters fixed so it will be much easier to read! Sorry the last one was like that. I hate computers! Lol
Ch.2
That phone call never came.
Fox waited by the phone, everyday, never leaving the house. His routine became slow and boring. Wake up, shower, eat breakfast, sit by the phone...eat lunch, sit by the phone...eat dinner, sit by the phone...go to bed.
Chad and Whitney were worried about him.
"Talk to her man," Chad had said a few days ago. "She's too scared to approach you."
"She said wait for her to call," Fox said tiredly. He never told Chad about his feelings for Whitney, and how that is why Teresa isn't around. He figured what's the point? He doesn't have feelings for her any longer...now his mind was focused on one thing.
Or one person.
He looked at his watch. 8:15.
"It's been almost a week Resa," he sighed. He rubbed his face in his hands, noticing the stubble from his unshaven chin.
"Fox!"
He turned around. Ethan was in his doorway.
"This is getting ridiculous."
"I'm not in the mood Ethan," Fox said angrily, turning his back on him.
"I don't care if you're in the mood to hear it or not...you need to get out of this house."
"I have to wait by the phone-"
"She's not going to call tonight Fox...now come on...go for a walk with me."
Fox sighed.
"Alright...on one condition."
"You name it."
"We're back by 9 in case she does call."
"Deal." Ethan said smiling. It had taken a week, but he was finally going to get Fox up and moving. And he knew just where to take him.
They grabbed their coats, the air outside growing cold. They walked off the estate and into town.
"So where are we going?" Fox asked after minutes of silence.
"You'll see," is all Ethan would say.
They walked some more. Finally they reached their destination.
"Ethan what are we doing here?" Fox asked suprised.
They were at the cemetery.
"Well," Ethan said. "I just so happen to know that everyday at exactly 8:30, a certain woman who has been running through your mind all week happens to come here and visit with her brother."
"Ethan, I'm not talking to her...she obviously doesn't want anything to do with me..."
"Shhh look...there she is."
Fox followed Ethan's pointed finger and saw her.
Teresa.
She looked so beautiful. Her long hair flowing down, her long black coat covering her.
"She is amazing," Fox whispered. "But I cant talk to her now Ethan...I don't want to interrupt."
Ethan patted him on the back.
"She's been a mess Fox...losing Antonio has really hit her hard...I mean look at her."
It was then that Fox noticed the tears that were falling down her face.
"She needs you...look I don't know what you guys are fighting about, or what is going on with you two...but I know she needs you."
Fox didn't know what to do.
"I'm going to go back," Ethan said. "I'll see you later." He gave him a smile and wink, and then turned around and walked away.
Fox stood outside of the cemetery gates, taking deep breaths. "It's now or never Fox," he told himself.
Finally, he got up the courage, and walked in.
He heard her crying as he approached. He thought about leaving, but knew he had to talk to her.
He stood behind her.
"Hey," he said softly.
She jumped and turned around.
"Oh Fox! You scared me," she wiped her eyes trying to hide her tears.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Neither one said a word. Finally he spoke up.
"You never called." his voice sad and lonely.
"I know..I'm sorry...I guess I just didn't know what to say. I still don't really."
He gave her a half smile.
'That's ok...we don't have to say anything right now...we can just stand here and pay our respects to Antonio."
She gasped, a small sob escaping her throat.
"I think he would like." she said, turning around to face is grave.
Fox walked up next to her, staring at the headstone in front of him.
Moments later, Teresa reached out her hand and grabbed his.
He looked over at her, tears in his eyes.
"I would like it too." she said her voice barely a whisper, but loud enough for Fox to hear.
He smiled as he squeezed back, letting her know that everything would be alright.
When they were done, Fox walked her home.
"Teresa...he said before she walked into her house..."Can we start over?"
She smiled.
"I think that's a good idea."
"He smiled back.
"How bout I take you out tomorrow...our first offical date? We can do whatever you want."
She thought for a moment,
"Fox I don't know..."
"Come on, it will be fun," he said trying to convince her. "We could go see that movie you've been dying to see...what's it called, "The Letter?" "The Journal?"...
"The Notebook," she said laughing.
"That's it!" he exclaimed.
"Fox Crane, you would actually give up your Friday night and sit through some chick flick?"
"I would do anything if it meant spending time with you Resa...isnt it obvious?"
She smiled.
'Ok...it's a date."
Those were the words...the 4 words that helped Fox get his first nights sleep in a week.
Those were the words that would change his life forever.
