"Good everyone is here.", Whitney replied walking in searching the room.
"Everyone except….", Ethan began.
"She'll be here, she promised me.", Whitney replied.
"Sorry, I'm late.", Theresa began walking in.
"see told ya she'd be here.", Whitney told Ethan.
"Theresa?", Fox asked.
"What, didn't know I was going to be here?", Theresa asked.
"Well, it surprised me that's all.", Fox replied.
"Where's Samantha?", Theresa asked. "Thought she'd be here giving you hand jobs…"
"Theresa?", Kathelina asked shocked.
"Samantha is at work.", Fox told her.
"Oh.", Theresa replied. "You didn't make her quit?"
"No, Sam like her job.", Fox replied.
"I'm sure she does.", Theresa replied. "She gets to do you every night."
Dylan smiled at Theresa.
"Good to see you're still after Theresa, God you people make me sick.", Kathelina exclaimed
"Hey, now that everyone's here let's do the song.", Dylan replied as attempted to break the tension."
"What are we singing?", Theresa asked.
"Oh, here take a look at it, it's called Oxygen, Chad didn't write it, but it's a beautiful song.", Whitney explained.
"It's a duet.", Fox replied.
"Uh-huh.", Whitney replied, "I'll sing with both groups you and Dylan and Theresa and Kat."
"Okay.", Dylan replied.
"Dylan, stand her to the left of me.", Whitney replied, "Fox you stand her to the right of me."
"Okay.", both Fox and Dylan replied.
"Kathelina, stand her in front of Dylan, facing him.", Whitney told her. "Theresa stand in front of Fox facing him."
"Uh- no.", Theresa replied.
"Whit, this isn't going to work.", Kathelina told her.
"Why not?", Whitney asked. "Dylan , nor Fox bite."
"Then let us trade.", Theresa suggested.
"No, it's the way I planned it so…", Whitney began.
"Whitney Russell…"Kathelina began.
"Katherine Crane, I'm not changing you and Theresa around."
"But, Whit…", Theresa began.
"No, no one is changing spots.", Whitney told them.
"Okay.", Theresa and Kathelina replied glaring at her.
"Okay, Fox, you and Dylan start, then Theresa you and Kathelina sing solo later I have it marked."
"Okay.", Kathelina replied.
"Sorry I'm late, just got off work hope I am not interrupting.", Samantha said walking in.
"No, Ethan now you got a partner.", Whitney told him.
"But, I told you I'm not...", Ethan began.
"Come on Fox and Dylan are doing it, It'll be fun.", Whitney told him.
"And, besides you sound better than us.", Fox told him.
"Please, Ethan, come on don't be a party popper.", Sam told him.
"Okay, I'll do it.", Ethan told her.
"Thank you, thank you.", Sam replied rapping her arms around him.
"Okay, enough of the chit0-chat we got a song to sung.", Kathelina told them.
"Yea, we do.", Whitney replied. "Ethan, Sam, stand her in the middle, I'll stand be hind you."
"What about people won't see you?", Kathelina asked.
"Oh, we're using a different stage tonight, Liz had a like higher stage in the back of the original.", Whitney explained. "Don't worry I'll work out."
"Okay.", Dylan replied, "now come we got to sing."
"Okay, boys you start out, Theresa, Kat and Sam don't start till It goes I take each breath as if it is my last you never know what came so slowly could leave you oh so fast…."
"Okay.", Kathelina, Theresa and Samantha replied.
"Boy's don't sing with them, just pick up on the air is thick, the flowers sweet."
"Okay.", Fox, Dylan and Ethan replied.
"Oh and."
"Whitney.", Fox began. "We understand."
"Okay, okay sorry.", Whitney replied.
I take each breath as if it is my first
I hold it there, so deep inside me
'Till I'm about to burst
I speak each word as if it is Your name
I move my lips ... I see the whisper
Stir the gentle flame
Whitney looked at Kathelina and Dylan. 'This is exactly what they need in order to reconcile.' Fox looked at Theresa, why has he left her? Well physically he didn't leave but, his heart had strayed. They had never been any problems until Samantha came along. Why did he want Sam so much? Maybe it was the fact that he felt like he was saving her, or just the fact they they'd both had a rough beginning, or maybe it was the cold hard truth Sam was young, pretty and she was more seductive then his wife. Maybe all he wanted was an affair. Why would he risk his marriage just to get Samantha in bed?
Your heart beats and so does mine
Your love moves
And I know I'm alive
You are my oxygen
I breathe You in
I breathe You out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
Fox watch Theresa she tried her best to mask her pain, to act as if she wasn't hurting. 'Why did I hurt her?'
Theresa decided to concentrate on the music, on getting the song sang and over with. She dreaded tonight, she didn't know if she could get this song done twice, she hadn't even got to the her solo and yet her she was wishing the song would end.
I take each breath as if it is my last
You never know what came so slowly
Could leave us, oh, so fast I take each step as if it is to
You I hear
Your voice I feel
Your presence
In everything I do
Sam watched Fox and Theresa, she secretly wished Fox would dump her and take his wife back. She felt so bad for them, they didn't deserved this. But, what could she do? She owed Alistair he'd freed her from Jackie and her evilness, but in a sense Alistair was worse than Jackie ever dared to be he was inflicting pain on his own grandson and the woman he loved. Is he told what would come of her father and Frank?
My soul sleeps, Your love revives
Our hearts meet
And I know I'm alive
Sam watched Ethan. 'God why does everything have to be so confusing, for once why can't I have what I truly want?'
Ethan watched Sam as well, it wasn't until that very moment that he realized what she meant to him. He could have ratted her out several times at the cottage that night, yesterday morning to Theresa, but he hadn't. He wondered why, but now he knew, he loved her that why it tormented him to know Alistair planned, that was why the other night bothered him, he hated seeing Sam with Fox, she belong with him. These feeling ran further then sexual needs it was love. No, it wasn't like the love with Gwen or not even the love he and Theresa shared, it was realer more deeper than that.
You are my oxygen
I breathe You in
I breathe You out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
Dylan watched as Kathelina sang, he whole face lit up, she loved this, she loved singing. He wished she was his at that moment. At one time she was, but that seemed like an eternity. So much had happened, so much, why couldn't Janet stay away, away from him physically, away from him mentally, away from his mind and away from his heart?
The air is thick, the flower sweet
The shadow comes down
Tonight the moon is at my feet
And I breathe
You in I breathe You in to me
I'm nobody without You
If You were not here what would I do
Fox looked Sam, she was his future, he'd already got her to involved, he would never hurt her, not after what those horrible people she called a family had. He wished he could meet her father, Frank or Jackie, he hated them and wished only sorrow and pain. They'd hurt Sam so much , he wouldn't even think about hurting Sam.
You are my oxygen
I breathe You in
Oh I breathe You out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
Dylan watched Ethan and Sam. 'That man is so stupid, how could he love her after what she did, saying he raped her, unless they planned, no Ethan isn't that stupid, he wouldn't get beat up for nothing unless… Dylan, come on this isn't a soap it's real life people don't have ulterior motives, but Sam and Ethan do act suspicious.?' Then he turned his attention to Fox and Theresa, how could he do this, how could he be playing house with Sam? Sam wasn't nothing but, a charity case to him, he felt pity for her, he felt responsible because Sam had such a bad life and felt that he was the only reason he met her was to better his life.
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in
I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
Ethan looked at Fox and Theresa, he was showing he way to much attention. 'What kind of game is he playing? Does he still love Theresa? What about Sam?'
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
(You are my oxygen)
The song ended and Fox and Theresa separated, as did Ethan and Sam.
"Kat?", Dylan whispered.
"Huh?", Kathelina asked.
"Forgive me?", Dylan whispered.
"Maybe, what do you have to offer me?", Kathelina replied, rapping her arms around him.
"This.", Dylan replied kissing her.
"NO, DYL, I refuse to be your spare. You can have Janet, Theresa whoever it is you fancy I'm tired of doing this I'm tired of playing games Dylan I want a man who will love me for me and who isn't secretly wanting his ex or wanting my best friend. I saw you yesterday you and Theresa were kissing.", Kathelina exclaimed. "How could you how could you kiss my best friend, your best friend's wife, you make me sick."
"Dylan…?", Theresa began.
"Shh, don't.", Ethan told her. "You don't need him to help you."
"But….", Theresa began.
"I'll help you and trust me, I'm not being selfish, well I am, but no hard feelings but, I'm not after you no more I want Sam.", Ethan confessed.
"Really?", Theresa asked.
"Yes, really, Theresa, so…", Ethan began.
"Ethan, Fox will be…I'm loving this, he'll hate you as much as Samantha will hate me. ",Theresa replied.
"So…?", Ethan asked.
"Sure thing, partner.", Theresa replied. "Let's show them what they're missing."
"That a girl.", Ethan replied.
"Whitney, do you still need a solo act to open up for you?", Theresa asked.
"Yeah, why?", Whitney asked.
"You looking at it, I'll do it. I'll sing.", Theresa replied smiling at Fox and Sam.
"Okay, be here earlier than the others.", Whitney replied.
"Okay.", Theresa replied.
A/N: Okay, you all whatchu' think and don't worry Ethan is not going to be with Theresa at all. I hate the character and Dylan and Kat, well you see, they aren't going to be together for long, but don't worry they'll end up together but…not now look for something shocking and unexpected to happen in the chapter after next. BTW, the song I used is Oxygen by Avalon it's a Christian like band, but I just not fount that out. When I searched for the lyrics. But, ne how I am not going to change it, the song is just perfect for what I wanted to accomplish here. Jess : )
