The next day…
Theresa was in her room…just getting dressed, when there was a knock on the door…
"Ethan"? (The door opens)
"I'm afraid not my little Theresa…its your husband…"
(Theresa runs over to the door and pushes Alistair out)
In Hallway
"I should think that you would be a little happier to see your husband…don't you agree?"
"You disgust me and you know that Alistair".
"Now, now Theresa, I wouldn't say that to the man who's helping you get Ethan and your daughter back".
"I don't need your help, if you hadn't heard what happened last…I exposed Gwen, Rebecca and Ivy without any of your help…and Ethan knows and believes me".
"Oh please…Ethan is not who you should be worried about right now…no, no, no…I was talking about your son…little Ethan…hadn't you heard…he's now my legal son and heir to the crane empire".
"Wh-What? How can that be? I wasn't aware of this…shouldn't I have been informed about this since I am his mother"?
"Theresa, didn't you know? I am Alistair Crane and I get what I want and when I want it"!
"Oh my god, Alistair…YOU ARE SUCH A MONSTER"!
"There's the Theresa I know…the fiery, scandalous one…you're kind of turning me on here"!
"You pathetic disgusting pig…stay away from me"!
(Alistair grabs Theresa)
"GET OFF ME ALISTAIR!"
(In the room Ethan was staying in he hears Theresa yelling at Alistair)
"Oh my god…Alistair has Theresa"! (He runs to her room)
"LET GO OF ME ALISTAIR…YOU'RE HURTING ME!"
"Not until I'm finished with you"!
(Ethan comes around the corner…just in time to see Alistair dragging Theresa into the room…he stops for a second and Theresa stops yelling for a second also…they both look at each other…Finally Ethan runs for it but when he gets there…the door shuts in his face)
(Bangs on door)
"THERESA! Alistair if you lay one hand on her I will kill you!"
"All talk Ethan…see, the thing is…by the time you get in here…I'll have had my fun with her"! Alistair chuckles.
"Oh my god Theresa…what have I done to you?" Ethan thought to himself. "You don't deserve this…and I won't let him hurt you ever again…that's a promise"
Alistair rapes Theresa…yet again…even with all of the constant banging…on both doors (hallway door and door connected to Gwen and Ethan's' bedroom)...But Ethan couldn't get through the solid wood doors even with an axe
In hallway
Ethan notices that there's no sound coming from there anymore. "Theresa, sweetheart, are you ok?" no answer "Alistair? What have you done? No answer.
Ethan runs to the other door…to his surprise it was open.
"The bastard must've left when I was at the other door…DAMN HIM!"
"Eth-Ethan?"
"Theresa? ...Are you ok? Well…that was a stupid question for me to ask…of course you're not ok…you were just raped for God's sake!"
"Its ok Ethan… you did everything that you could".
Ethan was astounded. "How can you be that forgiving…I should've done something else? I should've called someone…!"
"Ethan, I don't blame you…the only person's fault this is, is Alistair's."
"No Theresa…it shouldn't have gotten this far…if I had only listened to you months ago...no wait a minute…YEARS! Then you wouldn't be in this situation!" I've got to kill the bastard…after all that he's done…to you…and everyone else…he has to die!" Ethan begins to leave.
"No, Ethan…you can't…you'll go to prison…or worse…you'll go to death row…and I tell from personal experience…it really…really sucks!"
Theresa chuckles…but Ethan doesn't.
Ethan stops for a second and stares into space…his eyes begin to water…and he looks into her eyes. "That's not funny…" He whimpers.
Theresa wipes off her laughing face and it turns to a sympathy/sad face.
"I'm sorry Ethan…I'd almost forgotten what happened last night" Listen…you don't have to feel any guilt about that…I was shocked too when I'd heard it…but neither you nor I could've stopped them".
"That's not the point…I could've lost you…and if I'd believed you about the tabloid incident…we wouldn't have lost touch…I would've been able to back you up…and you wouldn't have even thought that the tape was legitimate. My own mother basically killed you…and I had to believe what I was told….no, no, no…I couldn't go with my gut…I knew something wasn't right…but I didn't know what to do".
"Ethan, you don't have to bring up the past now…its over…and I've got to move on…and can't dwell with past…now that I don't have any regrets…I just want to figure out what I'm going to do with my future and little Ethan".
"What do you mean? What's happened to little Ethan?
"Alistair now has adopted little Ethan…legally…and I don't know how to get him back…there's nothing I really can do but watch my little boy grow up under the influence of Alistair."
"Oh my God Theresa…I don't know what to tell you…its going to be hard going up against Alistair".
"Ethan…you're saying this as if you're going to help me?"
"Yea…that's the idea…"
"I don't need your help…and Ethan I don't want you to take this personal but I need to stand up to Alistair and knock him dead out of the water…by myself……just like I've done everything else in the past 4 years."
"I understand…but Theresa…I'm always here for you… I want you to know that."
(Theresa starts to feel a dizzy spell come upon her…and starts to fall)
"THERESA? Ethan catches her and lays her on the bed. Theresa…can you hear me baby?"
"Eth-Ethan? What happened?"
"You fell over…"
"Oh…yea…that sometimes happens after Alistair rapes me…I guess during all the screaming…I guess I give myself a dizzy headache spell or something. Could you cover me up…I feel like taking a little nap to wear off this headache?"
"Yea…sure…"
Ethan begins to leave once he covers her up.
"Ethan?"
"Yea?"
"Would you mind staying a while here next to me?"
"You sure?"
"Yea…I don't like being alone".
"Of course I will…so Ethan lay next to Theresa…and she covered him up with some of the blanket she was covered up in. Ethan kissed the top of her forehead…and once Theresa was asleep…he said "I love you Theresa...I'm going to get you back…and once I have you…I'll never leave you again. However once Ethan spoke these words…Theresa peeked open her eyes and smiled and shut her eyes once more. They both fell asleep in each other's arms.
