HH season 2 Chapter 1 Fan fiction

I stare out the window into the picturesque skyline as we fly closer and closer towards it. I can't help but to be lost in thought of how much my life has changed these past few months, it feels like a dream that keeps getting better and better. And now I'm headed to the NY state music festival, something that I used to watch on TV has just become a part of my reality. Just as my mind begins to approach all the drama and emotions I've been battling with Eddie's death, I hear him rouse next to me.

"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" Eddie says. His eyes searching mine with a look of concern. "You're not freaking out about your performance are you? He asks, "You know I'm going to be right there with you, he assures me, "I'm not going anywhere until you get tired of me, and kick me out".

"Eddie, I can't even imagine doing this without you, and as for the thought that I would ever get tired of you, I say giving him a small smile, "well, I think it's going to be the other way around". "I've already spilled my guts to you about my feelings, but since it looks like you need some reassurance, let me tell you again", I say my heart almost beating out of my chest as I speak. "I would give up all of this, the music, the fans, the career, all of it for you, as if you haven't already noticed you're the center of my world". My cheeks redden as I struggle with my declaration of love, "and I hope this isn't too much too soon, because I love you, and I don't know what I would've done in a world where you didn't exist", I smile hoping that words have given him a small ounce of ease in my feelings.

"Loren", Eddie says his face breaking into a smile so big it looked like he was in pain, "I've already done everything in my life i set out to do, and nothing would make me happier that spending the rest of it with you".

I gasp at his words, I didn't mean to imply that I was looking for marriage, at least not yet, I need a lot more time to adjust to that idea. "Eddie, I..." I start to say, only to be cut off with his laugh.

"You should see the look on your face right now, you look like you're about to faint. I'm not going to ask you to marry me "he says. "At least, not yet. I want you to experience everything you should, and to live life.

I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding and say, "It's not that I don't want to get married, because I really do, but not anytime soon. And I love you for putting my needs ahead of yours, but I think my mom needs a little time to adjust to our relationship, before we push hear over the edge".

"I've actually been thinking about something else I wanted to ask you though" Eddie says with a small smile. "I heard that you were sleeping over at my place, and I wanted to see if you would consider staying there full time, and with me."

My face flames as I look away in embarrassment, "I would love to, but I'm scared to ask my mom" I say.

"Well, talk to her about it, and then we can make the decisions after that", Eddie says. "I'm sure there's some things we can compromise with".

"Ok" I say and give him small peck on the lips. "But please don't be mad if you see Mel there all the time, she's kind of fascinated with the rock star lair".

"I'll try my best, but I don't think there's much about you that could ever make my mad" he says.
