14—Please Talk to Me

Gathering his things from the bedroom, Ethan sighs as he looks around. All my life, I always thought I was a member of the Crane family, and then my mother's secret came out. I let Gwen and Rebecca convince me that it was Theresa who sent the tabloid my mother's letter, and yet, even though I loved Theresa, I didn't believe her. What kind of man does that make me? I couldn't even believe the truth coming from the woman I was ready to pledge my life to in front of God and our family and friends. No wonder Theresa moved on..who would want an idiot like me?

Sighing, Ethan takes his things and brings them downstairs to the foyer. "Ethan, please, talk to me!" Gwen begs as she runs out of the living room to see Ethan.

"Get away from me, Gwen. I want NOTHING to do with you ever again!" Slamming the door behind him, Ethan breathes a sigh of relief as he closes his eyes. Please, Theresa, take me back into your life…

After arriving at the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, Ethan walks to the door, and looks in as he sees Theresa play with Little Ethan.

I thought I had made the right choice by standing by Gwen. I wanted to respect my vows that I made in front of God. All my life, all I wanted was a wife and kids. I almost had that with Theresa at one point, then I failed. How can I ever convince her to take me back? Well, I guess there's only one way to find out. Taking a deep breath, Ethan rings the doorbell.

(Inside the L-F house)

"Who could that be now?" Theresa asks herself as she gets up to answer the door. Opening it, she sees Ethan on the other side, and is about to slam the door, when his foot blocks the path.

"Get the hell out of here, Ethan!" Theresa says viciously.

"Theresa, please, I need to talk to you."

"How convenient, NOW You want me to listen? Tough, I'm through listening to you. Get out, Ethan. Just go!"

"Theresa, please, I love you, I need you!" Ethan says preventing the door from closing on him.

"Well, you have a great way of showing it!" Theresa says, finally pushing the door into the latch.

Sitting against the door frame on the floor, Theresa puts her head into her hands. God, how can I still love you when you hurt me so badly? She thinks to herself as she feels the tears falling..

Meanwhile, outside

Hearing Theresa cry, Ethan runs his hand along the door panel. My love….all I seem to do is make you cry….I have to do something tot make you see that you're the only woman for me…

Coming up with a plan, Ethan begins to get to work.

Coming Up

Will Theresa listen to Ethan?
