Wishing on a Star
Staring at the picture Ethan makes with their daughter and Gwen, Theresa sighs, then turns away from the hospital room, so as to not be seen.
"I did this all to myself, and this is my punishment. I know I promised to stay away from Ethan, and I intend to honor that promise. I just…I just need to say goodbye to him…forever." Looking back through the window, Theresa blows a kiss to Ethan. "Goodbye my love..goodbye."
Feeling the tears begin to fall, Theresa quickly makes her way out to the balcony of the hospital. Once there, she looks up into the night sky, seeing a star glow back at her, as she remembers a previous time…
Flashback
(At the beach)
"Do you see that star, Theresa?"
"Yes, Ethan, it's the only star in the sky."
"Well, when I was little, I used to wish on stars. My mom used to tell me that if you saw only one star in the sky at night, that it was meant for you to wish on, and you alone."
"What did you used to wish for?"
Kissing her head, Ethan sighed. "I used to wish that my parents would be happy. I used to wish that somewhere out there, would be the love of my life. Lucky for me, that wish came true." He says, holding her body closer to his.
"And just who is this love of your life?"
Smiling, he turns her face to face him, looking dep into her eyes. "You, my love. Only you."
End Flashback
"Ethan got his wish of true love…but will I ever get my wish to be with Ethan forever?" Looking back up in the sky, Theresa closes her eyes, as the familiar poem comes to her mind.
Starlight, Starbright
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight.
"Dear God, please let me leave Ethan alone. Let him have a happy life, a life that is not meant to be with me. Dear God, let me find the happiness I deserve."
Coming Up
Ethan misses Theresa!
