"This is it…I'm leaving Harmony…for good…well maybe not for good…but a least for a while…I need to do this for me…and for my children…they can't have Ethan running in and out of their lives all the time. Its best for them if I go…make something out of myself."
Theresa leaves for the airport, leaving Ethan a goodbye note.
Ethan comes into Theresa's bedroom to try and convince her to not go.
"Theresa? Theresa, where are you?" He sees a note on her bed saying that she has left.
"Oh, no! She's gone! I hope her plane hasn't left yet!" Ethan runs out the door to stop Theresa.
Ethan runs through the town airport knowing Theresa wouldn't be able to use the crane jet. Just as Ethan is about to pass through the gate the security stops him.
"Excuse me sir, where is your boarding ticket?"
"I don't have one!"
"Well, I'm sorry sir but you can't pass through these gates unless you have a ticket. Next!"
Ethan runs up to the clerk.
"Hello. Welcome to Harmony airport! May I help you? The clerk said in a fairly fake way as if she had worked a double shift.
"Yeah, yeah…I need a ticket!"
"And, the destination?"
"I don't care wherever is cheapest!"
"Ok…cash or credit card?"
"Credit card." Ethan hand her his credit card.
Couple minutes later
"Can't you hurry that up?"
"My apologizes sir, but we've had troubles with our machines late---oh look its done!" She hands him his ticket and he runs for it forgetting all about his credit card.
"Sir, Sir! Your credit card!" Ethan doesn't even hear her because he's too focused on searching the flight to Paris in the Flights board.
Finally getting pass security…he searches for a person with dark brown hair—ironically almost every person there seemed to have the same colored hair as Theresa. He never had any choice but to scream.
"THERESA! THERESA!" People looked at him like he was insane but he didn't even notice.
"Theresa!"
"What, what?" Ethan turned around—it was a sight for soar eyes.
"Ethan, what are you doing here?"
"I had to stop you!"
"Ethan we've already talked about this…I have to!"
"No Theresa, you don't…this is a choice…a choice that you don't have to make!"
"I do Ethan, I do!"
"Theresa, listen to me. Don't go…I am so in love with you!"
"Stop saying that!"
"It won't make it less true!"
"Well maybe it just adds to the pain I'm feeling right now!"
"Theresa, that means you don't want to go!"
"I never said I wanted to go! Its just something I have to do."
"No, its not…and if you want to pursue a career in fashion…we can do it together."
"Ethan, don't do this…please." Theresa starts tearing.
Ethan pulls her close to him. "Theresa…I know you want to be with me—"
"Of course I do! Have I ever wanted anything less?"
Ethan smiled. "So, you won't leave?"
"I never said that. I have to go Ethan."
Ethan started to get frustrated now. "NO! You don't…it's a choice…One that you can avoid!"
"Do not blame this on me Ethan! This is all your doing!"
"You're right…I'm sorry…" Ethan started to tear. "Its just…I-I love you Theresa".
"I know you do…and I love you. But maybe you were right…maybe love just isn't enough?"
"No don't say that."
A speaker came on then with an announcement. "Flight 249 to Paris, France please board now, last call for flight 249 to Paris, France"
"I-I gotta go Ethan".
Ethan tried to keep her near. "No Theresa, don't leave me".
"Ethan I have to…I'm sorry, I am. But I'm going now. Mama is going to bring Jane and little Ethan over on Sunday, so I can get settled in and then its up to me…and us…just me…and I'm going to live my life for me…and my children."
Theresa walked away and passed the clerk her ticket.
"Theresa…Theresa". Theresa glanced back at him and blew him a kiss. He swears he felt it.
Ethan left, he couldn't watch her go. He became angry…angry with the people that tore he and Theresa apart so he left to get back his dignity (in other words his balls).
I KNOW! SHORT CHAPTER! Sorry…
