In this Chapter is where the party first begins and Theresa starts making the rounds of her guests. Remember though almost everyone there has no clue what is going on. I hope you enjoy this Chapter.
Chapter 1 – The Party
(TPOV)
I looked at Whitney and said "Will you please keep your voice down?" I finally got her calmed down and then told her "I will explain everything to you later but first I have to finish greeting all of my guest" I said this with a smile so that it would soften the impact of my words to her. I turned away from her but gave myself a minute to make sure I could go on smiling through this party and not let my pain show to anyone that could say something about it. After I finally made sure I could do this I put on the most important act of my life. I walked over and greeted Sam and Ivy and then I walked over and kissed Chad on the cheek and said hello to Ethan all the while my heart was breaking as he looked at me and smiled and said "Hello Theresa thank you for the invite." I just smiled at him and then moved on to Luis and Face, Noah and Paloma, Sheridan and her date and then finally over to Miguel and Kay.
Miguel and Kay knew why I was throwing this party because I had talked to both of them when I finally made the decision that I was going to leave for a while. Miguel and Kay both hugged me and then Miguel leaned down and whispered in my ear "Sis are you sure this is what you want to do and are you sure this is what you want to tell everyone? I love you sis and know Kay and I are 100% on your side no matter what you decide." I just smiled at him even though I knew he could see the pain in my eyes. I looked up to him and said through my pain and heartache "I know bro and I love you and Kay all the more for it but I need to do this and you know it deep down inside. Now hold on to me so I can do this. Please Miguel and Kay help me get through this night in one piece."

I can't say that I'm happy with her decision but I can support her. I don't like seeing my sister in so much pain. I looked at Kay and then back to my sister and said "Of course we will help you get through this night. I love you sis and will do what you ask because I can't bare to see you hurting." I lean down and give her another hug and then Kay hugs her and says "Theresa I love you like a sister and will do everything in my power that I can to help you through tonight. You are not alone because you have both Miguel and me." I looked at Kay and I could tell that it was hurting her to see Theresa in so much pain. Theresa then smiled big and grabbed both mine and Kay's hand as she turned towards the rest of her guest and cleared her throat to make the announcement.
