Summary: Chapter 22: Theresa sends letters to Whitney and vice versa, telling each other about life. What has happened to Theresa? What's happened in Harmony? Check this out! R&R!
Before long, Theresa was on the plane. It had been a long day and she just wanted to sleep. So sleep she did. And before long she had arrived at New York- the city where she hoped to make her dreams come true.
A few weeks later…
Dear Whitney,
It's been weeks since I left Harmony. How are you? How's things with Chad? How's tennis? I'm fine. I've rented an apartment in New York and have made some friends there. There's one middle-aged lady that looks after Little Ethan for me when I'm working. Speaking of working, it took me awhile (and I almost gave up) but I've found a fashion company that hired me. Although, I'm only designing little things and the company isn't all that big, I plan to start my own company some day. This job will just have to do for now. My boss thinks I have great talent and wants me to try designing a dress for a big client! I can't wait! Wish me luck.
My love life, you may be asking? No, nothing. I won't reject a guy if I really am interested but there really hasn't been any that have got my attention. I think it's too soon and I'm still in love with Fox and Ethan. I think my love life should stay out of the picture for now.
Love you lots,
Theresa Lopez- Fitzgerald.
P.S. Write back!
Dear Theresa,
I'm great! Chad and I couldn't be happier. We finally told my parents and more importantly, Simone, about our relationship. My mother and father were happy for us but for some reason, I felt mother was a bit uncomfortable with it all. Simone looked upset for a while but told us that she was ok with it all. But it was like she already knew about us. She wasn't shocked or anything! Maybe it's just me but I feel something's going on.
My tennis career is going really well. I continue to get better every day. My dad wants me to compete in major tournaments but I'm not sure I'm ready. I really wonder sometimes if I really want to pursue a career in tennis at all!
Anyway, It's great to know you have a job. I'm really proud of you! You'll make it, Theresa. I know you'd never give up! Just call me any time to chat or if you need any help. Everyone has been missing you, especially Ethan and Fox. Ethan is working at Crane Industries as one of their many lawyers and even though he doesn't like it all that much, he's doing really well. Fox has found a job at Crane Industries too. He's doing some paperwork, although he is struggling with it. He also wants to go back to college to do a degree in business. I hope he goes along with it!
Miguel and Charity got married a few days ago! I know you already know 'cause you rang them up but the wedding was superb! Kay didn't seem too happy about it but nothing was going to spoil the pair's special day. Charity was in a beautiful white, strapless gown that puffed out when it reached her hip. She looked amazing. Miguel wore a black tuxedo. I've never seen him look so nervous! He looked really mature and handsome. You would've been proud, Theresa. I took lots of photos for you and have enclosed them in this letter.
More good news- Luis and Sheridan have gotten engaged! Luis proposed to her at Miguel and Charity's reception! Of course she accepted and they are planning their wedding at the moment. Luis misses you a lot and wishes you could come. He'd really want you to be there.
Gwen and Rebecca were refused bail when they first appeared in court a day after you left. They may be facing up to 20 years in jail! Rebecca definitely deserves it, it's just…well, the baby Gwen's carrying is innocent and I feel sorry for it. The judge will hear their case next week so I'll keep you updated.
Your mother is fine; she wants me to tell you she loves you a lot. Fox and Ethan want to talk to you. I told them that you might not want to talk to them so I didn't give them your address.
Miss you heaps,
Whitney Russell
Dear Whitney,
I'm so glad you and Chad are now officially a couple and that you two don't have to hide away to be together any more. I'm so happy for you two! Thank you for the photos you took at Charity and Miguel's wedding. They're beautiful. I was crying when I saw them. They're the perfect couple.
If you really don't like playing tennis, don't force yourself. Tell T.C. I'm sure he'll understand…right?
It's great Ethan and Fox now have jobs and are doing well. I'd rather not talk to them, I want them to move on. I need a break and that means no contact. I miss them a lot, you can tell them that!
Guess what? I designed a dress for one of your big clients and they loved it! It turned out to be a major success and now I'm promoted to designing lots of clothes. I'm so happy! So is Little Ethan, he's made a lot of friends here at New York. Soon I'll have enough money to rent a shop in New York and begin my own company!
I'm so excited to hear Sheridan and Luis engaged! That's great! But I've decided to stay in New York. I know Luis wants me there and I wish I was there too, but I really need to be here. I don't want to be caught up in Harmony right now. I've just started my career and I can't really leave. Tell them I'll send them a present and they have my love!
I don't really mind how many years Gwen and Rebecca have in jail. All I want is justice and to make sure they don't hurt or manipulate anyone again. I definitely feel sorry for the baby. I mean, having Gwen as your mother is bad enough! No, I just hope they learn a lesson from all of this.
Tell mama I love her heaps and miss her too. You can tell her that her grandson is beginning to crawl and he's teething! He is really cute but stepping in one of his puddles of drool isn't too amusing! I'll send you some photos in an e-mail ASAP.
Write back soon,
Theresa.
Dear Theresa,
I hope everything's going great because you've done so well in your career so far. You seem really happy…I wish I could say the same thing with my career.
But on to better things, Luis and Sheridan have picked out rings, the dress and the tuxedo. Sheridan asked me to be the bridesmaid and Luis asked Chad! This is so exciting. Of course, Luis and Sheridan are disappointed you decided not to return for their wedding but they do understand and are proud of you.
Ethan and Fox have really bonded these few weeks since you left. They've been taking time off to play tennis and watch basketball these past several days. They're like best friends and realise they had some things in common. It's great to see them happy. I think you'd be pleased.
There's been news that Rebecca has gone insane. She's been thinking that she's still at the Crane mansion and is acting really weirdly. She's seeing things and that's scaring Gwen. Speaking of Gwen, jail has been taking its toll of her. She suffered a miscarriage on the baby yesterday. It was pretty bad. Doctors say that it was because of the stress and the depression she's been having. That's what I heard from Ethan anyway. He visited her yesterday and came back pretty upset. Fox has been there for him though.
The photos you sent of Little Ethan are so cute! He is adorable! Charity and Miguel have come home from their honeymoon and are looking after Kay. Kay realises she has lost Miguel and that Miguel only ever loved her as a friend, as maybe a sister even. She's accepted it and wants Charity to be the godmother of her baby. It's a girl! Miguel told me he'd like to start a family of his own with Charity soon! Isn't that great?
Got to go,
Whitney.
The two continued to write letters to each other. But soon their lives were getting busier. And the letters shortened and lessened. They hadn't had any contact in months.
A/N What will happen? Will Theresa ever return? And if she does, what will prompt it? You'll just have to wait and see! R&R! Sorry Gwen and Kayguel fans for this chapter. I personally prefer Charguel and I don't really like Gwen. So that's me. Hope you liked this chapter anyway.
