2. Wishing I Still Had You

Chapter 2-Wishing I Still Had You

Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald woke up in the morning, and already knew it would be a bad day. Looking at her calendar, she saw the date, July 14th.

Remembering what happened on this date so long ago; Theresa laid back in bed, and felt the tears form behind her eyes.

Flashback

"Theresa, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, Ethan. It's our wedding day! I want to make love to you so much."

End flashback

"God, if it hadn't been for Ivy, our wedding WOULD have happened, and we would have been so happy right now. But no, all because of some stupid set up, I get stuck moping in bed today on the anniversary of what was to be my marriage to Ethan. God, how can this be happening!"

Getting out of bed, Theresa begins to get dressed when she spots a picture of Ethan and herself on the desk. Throwing it against the wall, Theresa sits down on her bed, and cries into her pillow again. "This wasn't the way my life was supposed to be! I wasn't supposed to have been this miserable! God, why is this happening!"

Hearing a knock on her door, Theresa quickly wipes her eyes. "Come in."

"Theresita, please, won't you come and eat?" Pilar asks as she opens the door.

"Mama, I can't. I'm in no mood to eat right now."

"Honey, you have to be strong. I know why you're crying today, but you have to remember that you will be okay."

"I don't feel okay today, Mama. This was supposed to have been my anniversary to Ethan! How can I feel okay knowing that he is married to someone else right now, and I'm here all alone with my child."

"Theresita, your child needs you. Please, mi hija, please, come eat with us."

"Fine." Throwing the pillow to her bed, Theresa makes her way to the kitchen. Watching her son eat, Theresa smiles at him. Mama is right. I need to be strong for my little boy.

After breakfast, Theresa sits on the couch, and watches her son play. I named my son after the man I loved. We should have been a family. How can I let my son grow up without someone to call daddy? God, if I ever find out who sent that tabloid, God help them!"
