Chapter 6- Obstacle

(The next two day were very hard on Theresa. She had called Ethan numerous times but he was always "busy" the butler would say. She knew in her heart something was wrong and she knew that Gwen had something to do with it. She finally decided to go see Ethan herself)

Theresa- I'm going to come over to see Ethan and ask why he isn't returning my calls because I know Ethan loves me… he even said it without his amnesia….

(Theresa knocks on the front door)

Butler- May I help you mam?

Theresa- I really need to talk to Ethan

Butler- Mr. Winthrop is bust at the moment with some very important paper work

Theresa- Look, I know you're lying now let me talk to Ethan NOW!

Butler- He has requested not to speak with you now good day

(Theresa sticks her foot in the door)

Theresa- I'm not leaving till I speak to Ethan

Butler- If you don't get your foot out of this door and leave right now then I'm going to have to call authorities to make you leave

Theresa- You can't do this to me. Ethan gave ME permission to come over any time I wished, now I demand to see him

Butler- That was before…

Theresa- What has happened? Why is Ethan ignoring me!

Butler- He remembers everything about the tabloid incident

Theresa- (Talking to herself in her head) No… my fears have become true… Gwen has turned Ethan against me….

(The door closes on Theresa)

Theresa- I will see Ethan and I know when he sees me too, he will stop this. The question is… how DO I see Ethan?

(Theresa looks up at the window and notices that it is cracked)

Theresa- That's it! I can crawl in through the window and find Ethan's room!

(About 15 minutes later…)

Theresa- I'm in Ethan's room… but where's Ethan?

(Ethan walks out of his bathroom with his shirt off)

Ethan- Theresa? How did you get in here?

Theresa- Why are you ignoring me? You haven't returned any of my phone calls and you had your butler lie to me! Why are you doing this to me? (Theresa begins to cry) Tell me! (She grabs his shoulders)

Ethan- Gwen told me about the whole tabloid incident… how do you expect me to react knowing you kept something like that from me? Gwen said that was the one reason why I was going to marry her…

Theresa- You have it wrong! I didn't send that information to the tabloid, Gwen framed me Ethan! You didn't believe me then and you won't even now… I would never do anything to hurt you Ethan! (She puts her head on his chest and cries)

Because You Loved Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

Ethan- (Talking to himself in his head) How could Gwen be telling the truth? Look at her… she really didn't do it and I never believed her…

Theresa- (Turns away from Ethan) If you don't want to speak to me ever again… I understand… but at least know I didn't betray you….

(Ethan grabs her and pulls her around and holds her)

Theresa- Uh… I don't…. understand… Ethan…. (She closes her eyes and lets Ethan hold her)

Ethan- I know Theresa… that you're telling the truth… I can feel it in my heart… I know there's no proof and that I didn't believe you before but I do now…

(Ethan leans down to kiss her)

(Theresa kisses Ethan)

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Theresa- (Talking to herself in her head) I know that he is technically still engaged to Gwen… but I have always dreamed Ethan would come back to me like this and I have to do what I can to keep Ethan in my arms… So are we good now?

Ethan- (kisses her again) Now we're good

Theresa- I have to go and pick up a few things at the grocery store for Mama so I'll call you tonight

Ethan- I can't wait

(Theresa exits Ethan's room and walks down the stairs. A hand grabs her and pulls her into a room)

Gwen- What the hell do you think you're doing here!

Theresa- Well, I had to find a way to see Ethan considering you turned him against me

Gwen- I was just helping him remember his past by exposing the bitch you are

Theresa- It doesn't even matter what you did Gwen. Ethan knows you lied to him and he believed me and knows in his heart I didn't send that information to the tabloid

Gwen- You listen to me and you listen to me good Theresa, if you don't back off of Ethan, there are going to be severe consequences

Theresa- Oh please Gwen

Gwen- I mean it Theresa. If you don't stop loving Ethan then I'll just make up stronger lies and Ethan this time never WILL speak to you again

Theresa- I'm not afraid of you

Gwen- You should be Theresa, you of all people know how dangerous I can be. I made up a whole story about something to do with me and Ethan and a park and he believed it… he even said he "remembered" so back off Ethan of I'll make sure I manipulate his memories so that he really will fall in love with me again and hate you

Theresa- Gwen… Ethan will believe me and..

Gwen- Don't test me Theresa

(Theresa leaves the room and exit's the mansion)

(Around 10 p.m. that night at Theresa's house, Theresa hears rocks hitting her window)

Theresa- Ethan? What are you doing here so late?

Ethan- Theresa, you didn't cal me

Theresa- Sorry Ethan, I completely forgot

Ethan- Can I come up and talk to you now?

Theresa- Everyone is sleeping… I'd have to sneak you in

Ethan- Great! I'll meet you downstairs

(Ethan runs to the back door)

Theresa- You can only come in for a few minutes… it's late

(Ethan goes upstairs to her room)

Ethan- I missed you Theresa

Theresa- I missed you too

(Ethan tries to kiss her)

Flashback

Gwen- So back off Ethan or I'll make sure I manipulate his memories so that he really will fall in love with me again and hate you

Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older, since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lives have made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

Theresa- Ethan… I can't..

Ethan- What's wrong?

Theresa- I.. I just… don't feel right kissing you here with my Mama being able to catch you here and she may think we were going to sleep together… you know what I mean?

Ethan- If she comes in, I could just hide… don't you… want to kiss me Theresa?

Theresa- Of course I do Ethan but I just don't feel right.. Doing it here…

Ethan- It's fine, I understand. Well, I guess I'll uh… see you tomorrow then?

Theresa- Yeah, you will

(Ethan bends down to kiss her then stops and walks downstairs and leaves)

Theresa- (Talking to herself) I'm so sorry Ethan.. I'd rather have your unrequited love than have none at all… I have to do this or Gwen will make sure you believe I'm some villain..

I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me
