Summary: Chapter 6: Ethan admits his true feelings, while Fox thinks he should come clean about his feelings towards Theresa.
Thanks so much for the many, many reviews! I can't believe I've gotten so many. In Australia (where I live), Theresa and Ethan look so good together but I know it's soon going to end L ! Now I just feel Theresa is desperate and Ethan is dumb for choosing Gwen. So how am I going to finish the story? You'll just have to read (and review!) to find out! J
When Theresa and Ethan finally let go, Theresa smiled, not believing what just happened.
"What was that for?" she asked, knowing exactly what it meant.
"I love you, Theresa. I love you more than anything. After I saw you last night, I know you're probably in love with Fox but I can't deny my feelings for you any longer. It's not fair to either you or Gwen. I'll never bother you again if you can tell me right here right now that you don't love me back any more." Ethan looked in Theresa's dark brown eyes with desire. He wanted her to say she loved him too. Just like she used to.
Theresa was shocked. Fox. I've totally forgotten about him! I feel so guilty again. And Ethan doesn't even know about last night. "Wow, I didn't think you'd say that much! Of course I love you, Ethan!" She flung her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

Fox ran back to his bedroom, shut the door and lay down on his bed. He'd never been so serious, let alone angry and upset. He had always gotten what he wanted- girls, clothes, food. Material things. But he'd never gotten the one thing he wanted so much in the world: love. Now that he found it, he couldn't have it. That wasn't what Fox was used to. He had everything he wanted…except Theresa.
For the first time in his life, he started crying. Not just about Theresa but about his whole life. He had been a trouble maker all his life because he didn't know who he could rely on. His mother and father didn't give a stuff about him and his "friends" only liked him because he was rich. He didn't have anyone to share his problems with. Fox had spent his whole childhood with no mother, no father, no brother, half brother now no friends. He may have had lots of people with him but he was alone. Let's face it, Fox, you may have been the most popular guy at school but you were a loner.
But Fox didn't want to sit around and feel sorry for himself. If I want something, I go get it. I've got to tell Theresa how I feel about her. That's the only way I can know if she returns my feelings. So his decision was made. He took a deep breath and headed for Theresa's room.
When he reached there, he realised the door was left open. He looked inside to see Theresa in the arms of Ethan. I can't believe this. She forgot about me in a matter of minutes! And here I was thinking she loves me! I couldn't be more wrong.
When Fox spoke, it took Theresa by surprise.
"You're good at doing this aren't you? Have a bit of fun and just leave? You disgust me, Theresa!" Fox screamed and bolted out the door.
Theresa was hurt by his words. Her plan hadn't gone the way she wanted. She wasn't meant to be upset when Ethan told her he loved her. She decided to run after him but a hand grabbed her arm.
"What's going, Theresa? Don't go," Ethan said curiously.
"I love you, Ethan. But right now, I need to go after Fox. I need to explain to him and comfort him."
Ethan could say nothing but let her chase after his half-brother
