This is a new story about Loren and Eddie. This starts from the episode where Eddie and Loren see each other up on the hill and where they just talk. It will not go like how the story goes in the show, but just a little bit different. Maybe also different pairings, so don't get upset.

Chapter 1: Up the hill
LOREN'S POV
- Up the hill (thinking spot), Loren & Eddie -

I'm sitting there up the hill. Thinking about the big decision I have to make. I hear someone walking towards me, so I turn my head. It's a guy with a cap and sunglasses. He looks familiar, but I don't know who it is, until he puts of his sunglasses. It's Eddie. I still can't believe I won his song contest a couple of days ago. Especially the part where I fainted was so embarrassing.

Eddie: Hey Loren, I didn't think someone would be up here.

Loren: Same here, this is just my thinking spot.

Eddie: Mine too. Normally there's no one up here.

Loren: I'm so sorry. I will just leave and let you be alone.

Eddie: No, stay. You were here first.

Eddie is starting to walk away, but I can't let him walk away. So I come up with an idea.

Loren: Wait! We can share the spot?

Eddie: I would like that, Miss Tate.

We both sit down and watch the amazing view. There is a silence between is, but not an awkward one. I break the silence.

Loren: So how do you know this place?

Eddie: We used to live right here under the hill. So whenever I needed to think, I would walk up here, watch the view and clear my head. You?

Loren: My dad took me here when I was four. Ever since that this is my thinking spot.

Eddie: So why are you here?

Loren: I have got some thinking to do. It's about college. I've got accepted at Brown. It has always been my first choice, but now I'm not so sure. I feel like it's a choice I have to make right now, between me being an artist and me getting into college. Like if I go to Brown, I would spoil my chances of getting into the music business.

Eddie: I hope that what I said earlier isn't the reason of your doubts.

Loren: Well, maybe a little. I mean, you didn't go to college.

Eddie: No I didn't. But I wasn't accepted at Brown. We're talking about a top college now.

Loren: So you think I should go to Brown?

Eddie: I think you have to listen to your heart. I also think you can be an amazing artist if you focus on your music. And I will do everything in my power to support you with that, if you choose focusing on music.

It's nice that Eddie wants to help me, but I can't stop wondering why he is here.

Loren: Thanks. So why are you here?

Eddie: I just found out that someone I thought I knew everything about has been lying to me the whole time. It's weird. I don't know what to do.

Loren: I don't know who the person is and I don't have to know. But I guess you have to follow your heart. Same advice you gave me and it's the advice my mom always gives me.

Eddie: Yeah, you should always listen to your mom. I should get going, other wise I could get into trouble with Jake. I'll see you in a couple of days, when we're shooting the video shoot?

Loren: Yes I will be there. Bye.

That's when Eddie leaves. I don't know who has lied to him, so much it would hurt him, but I could give it a couple of guesses. Who am I to say something stupid about Chloe? I don't know her. Maybe she has good reasons for her lies. I don't even know for sure if he was talking about Chloe. I decide to go back home, before mom gets home and gets worried about me.

- Tate Home, Nora & Loren -
When I get home, my mom is already there. She is the kitchen, making dinner.

Loren: Hi mom. It smells nice.

Nora: Hi Loren. Where have you been?

Loren: Just thinking about what I should do now.

Nora: And did you make a decision?

Loren: I did and I really want your approval. I think I want to put college on hold for a year. Focusing on music in that year and who knows what happens in a year. After a year I can think again about going to Brown.

My mom just stands their, watching at me, saying nothing. I'm scared that she doesn't like my idea.

Nora: I think that's a good idea.

I'm so happy! I thought she would disapprove, but she doesn't. I walk up to her and give her a big hug. Then I walk up to my room. I have homework to do and I have to call Mel and tell her about my decision. I get my laptop, login to Skype and see that Mel is online.

Loren: Hi Mel. I've got great news!

Melissa: Tell me. I'm all ears.

Loren: So I've got a letter of acceptance from Brown!

Melissa: O my god! You did?

Loren: Yes, but I'm not finished. I'm not going to Brown.

Melissa: Wait, how is this good news?

Loren: Let me finish. After graduation I'm going to focus on my music for a whole year. See if I can be that rock star that you claim I can be. After a year I will see what I've become and make a choice about going to Brown.

Melissa: Ah, my baby is growing up. She is getting confident about herself. This is the day I have been waiting for.

Loren: Okay, Mel, don't be so overdramatic. I think, maybe, I can be a successful singer. I have to go back to my homework. See you tomorrow?

Melissa: Please don't say things like that! You were doing so great. Okay hon, see you tomorrow. Bye!

I couldn't stop laughing about my best friend. I wouldn't know what to do without her. With a smile on my face, I start on my homework.


THE END OF CHAPTER 1, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS STORY. MAYBE I WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS STORY.
