Hello everyone, I know it's been a while since I've posted a one-shot story. This story is the finally to my series (Decisions, The Verdict, Forgiveness is for You, and The Tour). Instead of writing a long one-shot, I'm going to do the series finally in chapters. I will try to post one chapter a week until it's finished. Hope you enjoy this final journey.

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the characters of Hollywood Heights and all that other stuff I'm supposed to say about not having rights to (blah, ba blah, ba blah blah).

(BTW) I came up with a last name for Lia and Jeremy.

Joe, Max's private investigator, found out that Jeremy and Lia are actually husband and wife. Lia drugged Eddie and tried to kidnap him but was shot by his body guard in the parking lot of a strip club. Jeremy chloroformed Loren and tried to kidnap her but was shot by her body guard in the hotel elevator. Eddie proposed to Loren on stage and she said yes.

Jake and the record label execs are trying to find a replacement act to replace Jeremy so that the tour can continue. Drama still follows them on this tour.

Chapter 1

The Secret Lives of Lia and Jeremy

Jeremy is in his hospital room in Las Vegas, handcuffed to the bed, an armed police officer is standing guard outside, while a police detective is questioning him about what happened. "Mr. Hawk, let me remind you that you do have the right to have an attorney present while I question you," the detective says.

"I don't need an attorney," Jeremy replies.

"Okay, how about you start at the beginning Mr. Hawk, tell me why you and your wife tried to kidnap Eddie Duran and Loren Tate."

"It's a long story, Detective Conlee, you might as well pull up a chair, this may take a while," Jeremy says gesturing to the chair next to the bed.

Detective Conlee walks over, sits in the chair, pulls out his pocket tape recorder and places it on the hospital tray next to Jeremy's bed. "Okay kid, tell me this long story." He pushes record.

Jeremy takes a deep breath and begins, "it started three years ago, right after Lia and I got married. We were high school sweethearts and dreamed of making it big in Hollywood. Lia and her brother grew up on a farm and owned the only gas station in that little town outside of Ojai. Their parents died right before we graduated from high school. Lia and her brother Liam were having a hard time making the mortgage payments for the farm and the gas station. Lia came up with a plan to rob customers who stopped at the gas station at night. I was against it at first, but I loved Lia so I went along with it, plus we really needed the money so we could record a demo cd and send it to record labels in hopes of getting signed. In the beginning we were able to rob enough customers to make payments on both mortgages. For almost three years, we were able to make payments by robbing customers, jacking up gas prices, throwing nails on the highway so people would get flat tires and have to stop at our station to buy new tires. But then we stopped getting customers. We had just gotten a final notice from the bank when one night a black expensive sports car pulled into the gas station and Eddie Duran got out of the car. His first mistake was being alone."

Flashback

OH MY GOSH! JEREMY! LIAM! GET IN HERE!" Lia shouted.

"You better have a really good reason for waking me up Lia." Liam said angrily.

"What's the matter?" Jeremy came running through the back door.

"Look, that's Eddie Duran, the international rock star." Lia said excitedly.

"Little sister, you need glasses, why would Eddie Duran be in this dried out little ghost town at this time of night?" Liam asks.

"I think that is Eddie Duran." Jeremy said looking out the dirt stained window.

"I don't know why he's here, but you go out there and stall him Liam. He is the answer to our prayers." Lia said with a devious smile on her face.

"Lia, international rock stars don't carry around the amount of cash we need to save that dried out farm and this run down gas station." Jeremy said noticing the look in Lia's eyes.

"No he doesn't have that kind of money on him but his record label does. I bet his record label will pay millions for his safe return. If they won't I know his dad will, Max Duran loves his son and would give up all his money to bring him home safely. Look, just go stall him Liam. Jeremy, you go home and fix up the shed, we're gonna have a VIP guest stay with us for a couple of days." Lia is starting to get angry because no one is getting on board with her plan.

"Lia you are crazy, look I agreed to robbing customers, jacking up gas prices and causing flat tires. That's what we're gonna stick to. I will take his car, strip it for parts and use the money for the mortgages." Liam said walking towards the door.

"Liam, you are not looking at the bigger picture, we won't ever have to worry about money again if we hold Eddie Duran for ransom." Lia says grabbing Liam's arm.

"I'm not gonna be a part of kidnapping Lia, I'm going out there, I'm gonna lead him to the back, knock him out and take his car." Liam pulls away from Lia and walks out the door.

"Jeremy go get the shed together, I don't care what Liam says, we're holding Eddie Duran for ransom." Lia says to Jeremy.

"Lia, I think Liam is right, lets stick to robbing and swindling customers." Lia walks over and slaps Jeremy across the face.

"Don't be a little bitch Jeremy, Eddie Duran is our ticket to Hollywood, now do what I say and go get the shed ready!" Lia kisses Jeremy on the cheek.

Jeremy looks out the window and sees that Liam is leading Eddie toward the back of the gas station near the restrooms.

What do you think so far? Don't worry I'm getting to Leddie, I promise not to drag this out. These first few chapters are in response to a guest review of "The Tour." That guest wanted to know why if Jeremy and Lia are married, would he attacked (tried to rape) Loren and Lia try to hook up with Eddie. I hope these first two chapters answer your question. Please review, I love hearing from you guys.

Much Love
