Loren was sitting on the plane, staring out the window on the way to New York. Eddie talked for the first hour of the plane ride, but after her stroking his head while he explained everything he went through the last couple weeks he slowly passed out. She just wanted to put all that in her past. She was glad to have Eddie back. The plane was getting ready to land so Loren kissed the top of his head that was resting on her shoulder, to wake him.
Loren - Time to wake up Eddie.
Eddie – That was the best sleep I have had in weeks.
Loren – I haven't had much sleep either. When we get home from this concert, I think I will skip school on Monday and maybe we could spend the day at your pent house watching movies and catching up on some sleep.
Eddie – Of course. Anything you want. We deserve a day to ourselves. I love you, Miss Loren Tate.
Loren - I didn't think I would see you again. I thought you were gone forever. My heart was shattered. I love you more than anything. I hope we never have to deal with anything like this ever again.
Eddie and Loren share a passionate but short kiss before getting out of their seats to get off the plane. There was a massage crowd outside the airport. Not only was there hundreds of fan, but also a bunch on reporters trying to get Eddie to talk about his experiences the last couple week. Jake and Kelly did the best they could to get Eddie and Loren to the limo as fast as possible.
Loren – Is this what it is always like when you're a rock star?
Max – In my day it was nothing like this.
Jake – But you're ancient. Things are different than when you were the big star. Don't worry Loren, when you get this kind of attention, it is a good thing. Feel great. Not only were people there to see Eddie, they wanted you too! Kelly is doing a great job with you.
Kelly –Loren is a natural. She needs little help from me.
Eddie whispers in Loren's ear. You are amazing. I knew you had it in you. I love you, beautiful. Loren face turned the cutest shade of pink, hoping Eddie couldn't see the way he just made her blush. They spent the rest of the ride just holding each other, ignoring the conversations of their family and managers.
Loren performed at the concert. Everyone loved her. They even sang along to the whole song when she sang Mars. Loren loved every minute of it.
Nora – Lo, you were amazing. I swear, just to think only a couple months ago the thought of singing your songs in front of just me made you sick, but here you are. You are the best and I am so proud.
Nora starts crying, with Max by her side holding her tight.
Max – Loren, that was great, you are a natural. Your mother and I wanted to share some exciting news with you and Eddie.
Loren – thanks so much, guys. What's the news?
Nora – Well, Max wanted me to move in with him.
Loren – You… you would live above a bar, mom?
Max – Ha, she said she couldn't live above a bar. So since my place is out of the question, I am going to move in to your house. I do hope I have your blessing though. If you're not comfortable with it then we will just forget about it.
Loren – Max! I would love that. You have been nothing but great for me and my mom. You're really like dad to me now.
Eddie – That's great pops. I hope you two will be happy. These Tate girls have us wrapped.
Eddie leaned in for a kiss with Loren.
Max – Great. It's settled. When we get back to L.A. I will hire some movers and in a couple days we will be officially living together. Loren, thanks so much. I have another surprise for you. (Max pulls a necklace out of his pocket.) This was Katy's, and I want you to have it.
The necklace was beautiful. A long gold chain with a locket with Eddie's baby picture in it
Max – She would have wanted you to have this. I want you to put a picture of you when you were a baby on the other side. When you and my son have daughter, which I know you will, you can give it to her.
Eddie hugs is dad. He loved how much Max loved her. He should have known when Max didn't get along with Chloe, that she wasn't the one for him. He was happy now all the drama Max had stirred up when hiring a private investigator to look into Chloe.
Loren was surprised Max would give her such a sentimental gift that belongs to his late wife. She was speechless.
Nora - I know the perfect picture you can put in this. When we get home I will get it right away. Max it's beautiful. Loren come here and let me help you put it on.
Loren went to Nora and let her put in on her neck.
Loren – Thanks Max! Oh my, I don't think I can keep this. What if I break it or worse lose it.
Max – You won't. It's yours now. I will not take it back.
Loren- I love it. Thank you again Max
Kelly – Loren it looks nice on you. We need to get ready to get back to L.A. now.
They were now on their way back to L.A. Eddie and Lauren were excited to finally have some time alone.
Hope you all enjoyed my first chapter. Drama will be on the way soon!
