Chapter 40 – Why?

Theresa flustered her eyes open and looked around, her surroundings were unfamiliar to her the white walls, the white sheet that draped to her right, her head was pounding as if she had been hit by a big rig. She reached down her arm and felt what appeared to be an I.V. "Where am I?" thought Theresa. Her hand gently moved from her arm and to her stomach, it was flat "Where was her baby?" her mind screamed then it hit her like a ton of bricks. The memories encircle her head gnawing at her taunting her. "No!" her mind screamed "No" she shot up "This can't be happening... It was all a dream!" as she shook her head "I am gong to close my eyes and then I am going to wake up and all of this is going to go away and Fox he'll be in my arms...!' she said trying to convince herself

"FOX...!" a voice cried out on the tape "Don't stop....Wait I'm going to..."

"No...wait for me...!" she heard a voice call out, once the couple had finish doing their dirty deed, she notice the man get up, she let out a gasp and cover her mouth with her hand the man on the tape was Ethan, Fox had been right this whole time. Ethan had been cheating on her...

"Theresa...I'm home!" she heard the front door open and Ethan call out to her, she did not here anything, she watch on as her husband interacted with the women she called a friend on the video

"Theresa... did you not hear me calling you?" asked Ethan not even noticing what she was watching, Ethan put his things down and walked over to her "Theresa?" as he notice the tears in her eyes "Theresa...Why are you crying?"

Theresa shook her head and pointed to the T.V. Ethan slowly turned his head and gasp

"Theresa...I can explain!"

"Explain what ETHAN!" she said getting up from where she was sitting "That you have been cheating on me this whole time!" as she paced around "Ethan... Did you think that I wasn't going to find out?"

"Theresa it wasn't like that!"

"Then explain it to me Ethan?" she said with her hand on her hip and tears falling from her eyes

"She was just something that I needed, that I wanted at the time... It meant nothing to me!"

"SOMETHING YOU NEEDED! She yelled "I HATE YOU ETHAN, GO BE WITH YOUR WHORE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" she yelled as she grabbed her keys and purse and ran out the door

Her eyes filled with tears, she barely saw the key go into the ignition. "Why?" she thought "Why would he do something like this to her...She sacrifice her one true love to be with him!" She backed up the car and drove she had remember that Fox said he would be waiting for her once she had confronted Ethan, she needed him to comfort her, to be with her... Through the years she had forgotten why she had love Fox so much, now she had remembered. Fox whenever she was down or whenever she needed him to pick her up he was there, even before she had asked. He was so caring, honest, and attentive. Not they way people or the media had depicted him, people called him the playboy, the rebel, the bad seed. But he was none of those things. And Theresa was one of the blessed people to see the real side of Fox Crane. The thought of Fox always brought a smile to her face even on her worst days and today though she had felt betrayed by Ethan she didn't feel so bad, she would finally be free to be with Fox How can you say, How can she even think about moving on so soon, she had loved Fox all her life, well her new life that is, I guess she made the wrong decision she should of went with her heart instead of what she thought was best. She was going to file for divorce in the morning, though she wouldn't jump into a relationship with Fox it was going to take some time but she knew that Fox would wait for an eternity for her.

As she drove her thoughts still lingering on Fox... She glanced in her rearview mirror and notices a car coming up behind he rather quickly, the idiot was driving with his high-beams on also. Theresa turned on emergency lights on to notify the other driver to pass her. Which he did, she continues to drive not noticing that the car had not pass her but was now on the side of her. The car moved closer to Theresa as if it was trying to run her off the road. Theresa honk her horn, and rolled down her window "Hey ASSHOLE what the fuck are you doing?" The other car did not even flinch, or acknowledge Theresa, the car hit Theresa with such force that Theresa let go of the steering wheel then everything went black.

"NO...NO...This can't be happening!" yelled Theresa

"Shit...That's Theresa!" yelled Fox

Both Ethan and Fox ran into Theresa's Room "Theresa...are you o.k.?"

"No...No...Fox My Baby...No...Where is she?"

"Theresa...its o.k. sweetheart!"

"Ethan get away from me!" yelled Theresa as she shook her head letting him know that his presence was not wanted there. "Please leave this is all your fault...everything is your fault!" she screamed at the top of her lungs

"Ethan..." said Dr. Russell as she led him out of the room "I think it is best if we obey Theresa's request!" Eve turned around and eyed Fox "Fox you...!"

"No... Dr. Russell I want Fox to stay...Please!"

"Are you sure Theresa?"

"Yes!"

Eve nodded and walked out of Theresa room, and joined as he stared through the window, trying to figure what happen to his marriages, and when did his brother become a significant factor in his wife's life..."Oh yeah!" he muttered to himself "I cheated on her!"

"Ethan!" he heard Dr. Russell say "Are you going to be o.k.?"

"Yea!" he said "Why did I do that?" he blurted out

"Do what?"

"I betrayed her trust...She trusted me and I betrayed her!" as he put his hand in his face and wiping the tears that were evident. "I lost her...She had been through so much...she died and came back to me...and what do I do to her...I put her through so much pain, all this time everything that went wrong in my life I blame others, But everything has been me my fault, god how could I have been so stupid!"

"Ethan...What are you talking about?" asked Eve

"Nothing...Dr. Russell!" as he walked away from her and into the chapel

"Theresa...!" said Fox as he walked next to her bed and pulled up a chair "How you holding up Scarlet?"

"Better now that you are here!" as the tears streamed down her eyes "Fox...My baby?"

"It didn't make it!"

"Oh god...!" yelled Theresa as she shed a flood of tears

Fox stood up and grabbed and held on to her...It felt good her being in his arms again even if it was under these kinds of circumstances

"Fox...!" he heard her say "There is something that I have been meaning to tell you for a long time now...I was actually on my way to tell you... Until the psycho ran me off the road!"

"What is it Theresa?"

"It's you...!"

"Scarlet...What are you talking about?"

"It's always been you...all along!"

"Sweetie...!" he said as he held her hand and gently caress her face "What are you talking about?"

"Fox remember...when Lindsey sacrificed her life for me!"

"Yea how could I forget?"

"Well when I was in that place...all I could think about was you!" as she stammered on "When I came through...I wanted to be with you...Then I saw Ethan and Ethan Jr. and I did what I thought was best for my family!"

"Theresa...!" he said "What are you trying to say?"

"Fox...I made a mistake! It's been you that I loved all along; I thought I was doing to noble thing by marrying Ethan... But I should have followed my heart!"

Fox had a huge grin on his face, his dreams had finally come true. Theresa told him that she had love him. It was like Christmas in July for him

"Fox...say something!"

"Theresa...Do you realize how long I have been waiting to hear those words!" said Fox inching closer to her

"Fox I want to be with you...I want to make love to you every night...I want to have kids with you...!"

"Theresa...are you sure about this?" Fox asked as he looked into her eyes for reassurance "I mean with everything happening in your life...the baby...Ethan...are you sure this is what you want?"

"I am hurting because I lost the baby...and Ethan I think that I stopped loving him a long time ago, I am trying to look at the positive outcome of this...I want to be with you!"

"Theresa...!" yelled Fox "You have made me the happiest man in the world!" as he leaned in a kissed her on the lips it started as a peck that turned into a long lingering kiss

Ethan who had come from the chapel, wanted to talk to Theresa in hopes that he could salvage his marriage, he approached Theresa room and peer in, Ethan saw something that he never thought he would see in a million years his brother was making moves on his wife..."He just couldn't wait...Could he?" yelled Ethan
