Loren smiles as Eddie kisses her passionately she slowly melts into the kiss and then abruptly pulls away from Eddie. Eddie looks at Loren with a questioning expression on his face
Eddie: Loren, whats wrong?
Loren: Why do you think somethings wrong?
Eddie: Come on Loren, don't you think i know you well enough to know that when you pull away from a kiss something is wrong?
Loren smiles shyly, "I guess so"
Eddie: So whats up?
Loren: I'm still in shock
Eddie: about what?
Loren: Everything that has happened this past week.
Eddie gives her a curious look and Loren continues.
Loren: Loosing you after that text went viral, thinking you were dead and everything i experienced because of that, the final concert and finally you going to jail for a crime you never committed. I am still in shock that i am sitting here with you alive and well on my way to do a concert in New York City.
Eddie: Are you happy i am alive and here with you.
Loren gives Eddie a small love tap. Eddie, why would you even ask such a thing. If only you knew everything i went through while you were gone.
Eddie: I heard the interview you gave so.
Loren: Oh, i am so embarrassed that you heard that. I only said those things because i thought you were dead.
Eddie: So you didn't mean any of it when you said you loved me.
Loren: Of course i meant it when i said it i just never expected you to hear it.
Eddie: So your saying you meant it then, and what about now?
Loren: I didn't say it now.
Eddie: But if you would, would you mean it?
Loren: Of course i would, Eddie i am really confused as to why you are asking me these questions. why would you think any of this? I love you Eddie and i mean it when i say it.
They both smile. Eddie leans in and kisses Loren.
Loren pulls back after a couple of intense minutes and starts talking.
Loren: Eddie you never told me exactly what happened the night you went missing.
Eddie: Well what exactly about that night do you want to know?
Loren: Everything i guess.
Eddie: Okay here goes. That afternoon i received the text that Chloe had sent from your phone.
Loren: You knew i didn't send that message?
Eddie: Of course i knew Loren, i knew it wasn't true i figured it was Chloe trying to get back at me and break us up.
Loren: So what does the text have to do with anything?
Eddie: Well i went to confront Chloe about sending the text message when something else unexpected came up.
Loren: What came up?
Eddie: Well Lily Park had contacted me a couple of days before and had hinted that she knew that Chloe was the driver of the car that ran my parents off the road.
Loren: So when you confronted Chloe she admitted to killing your mom and that's why you drove to Ojai?
Eddie: She tried pinning it on Tyler but i knew it was her. I went for a drive because i needed to sort everything out in my brain.
Loren: Why didn't you come right back why couldn't you tell me where you were?
Eddie: Well i got hurt and this brother and sister were really nice and took care of me while i needed help. I couldn't come back to the city because
Loren: Because Chloe had told the police you threw her off that balcony.
Eddie: Yeah, i'm really sorry Lo, i really wanted to tell you i was okay. Hearing you talk about me in the past tense was one of the hardest things I've ever had to listen to.
Loren: So why don't you turn Chloe in for killing your mom?
Eddie: I did.
Loren: You did? Why didn't you tell me, how did you do it when did you do it?
Eddie: Last night Chloe came by to drop the charges against me.
Loren: Right, i was there when she walked into the station.
Eddie: Well she came back today to make sure they let me out.
Loren: Why did she come?
Eddie: I think she thought that now that she had dropped the charges that i owed her my life and would get back together with her.
Loren moves back a little unsure how Eddie feels about that.
Loren: And would you?
Eddie: What Loren no way how could you even think i would want to go back with her, i have you, don't i?
Loren: You have me if you want me.
Eddie: Loren, of course i want you
Loren Blushes a little
Loren: So what happened when you saw her there?
Eddie: Well she came and wrapped her hands around me i quickly pushed her off and she got really mad. She started yelling at me how she came here to drop the charges because she loves me and felt bad for hurting me she asked me to please give her another chance and take her back i quickly pushed her off of me and i yelled back at her. I told her that there was no way in the world i would ever take her back that there was no way i would ever be with the girl who killed my mom.
Loren: That's harsh.
Eddie: That's what she said, but then she told me that she didn't mean to kill my mom that it was just an accident. I was really happy that this conversation took place in the police station because an officer who had overheard this conversation quickly came and handcuffed Chloe and took her away.
Loren: Wow and how do you feel about that now?
Eddie: Well i am glad she is being locked away i can now breathe a lot easier knowing she can't hurt you or me. I am really happy that this is all over and can be put behind us.
Eddie leans in and kisses Loren she melts into the kiss when they hear Kelly clear her throat from across the aisle of the plane. They realize where they were headed and come crashing back down to reality. Loren blushes and Eddie smiles while Kelly starts to talk to them.
Kelly: What are you two love birds talking about?
Eddie: What happened while i was assumed dead
Kelly: That's morbid
Eddie: Well really i'm just trying to keep Loren's mind off of the concert tonight.
Kelly: Was he doing a good job Loren?
Loren: Yeah, but now...
Kelly: Now you remembered
Loren: Yeah
Loren looks like she is about to throw up and Kelly continues.
Kelly: Now that we brought it up you're getting nervous
Loren: Yeah.
Eddie: Don't worry Loren you will be amazing again, and I will be there next to you this time.
Loren: You promise
Eddie: Of course I do, where do you think I'll be?
Loren: Hiding in the rafters again.
Eddie: Doing that once was one time to many for me.
Eddie, Loren and Kelly all laugh, and Max joins the conversation.
Max: What you all laughing about?
Eddie: My seat at Loren's concert last night.
Max: I'm really glad your back here with us son
Nora: You really sent you're dad through a loop when we all thought you were dead.
Kelly: Not to forget what the rest of us went through.
Eddie: I'm sorry, I really wanted to tell all of you that I was alive I just couldn't risk getting caught by the police.
Jake: We understand now, but don't think for a second that any of us are letting you out of our sight ever again.
Eddie: I don't plan on dying again, being away from you was harder than you can ever imagine.
They all smile and then Eddie turns towards Loren and continues talking to her
alone while the rest of them start doing their own things again.
Eddie: Loren, I can't even begin to imagine what you went through when you thought I was dead. How did you hold up and get through all of that?
Loren: In the beginning I completely fell apart and it was torture for me to be alive
Eddie: So what changed that?
Loren: You did.
Eddie: Me?
Loren: Yeah, the day after we heard you were dead I went to school, that was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
Eddie: Harder than when you first sang your song at my concert?
Loren: Compared to this that was super easy. After a while I understood why everyone didn't want me to go to school. I ended up going with Mel to our spot and we began talking about you and me. The first time I saw you, how we met, our relationship, everything, and I that's when I realized that the best way to make you happy even though you were dead was to use the strength you gave me and not throw away my career. I went home and told Kelly I would go to the recording studio. The beginning was torture I could barely get the words out and then Jake, who was amazing; told me to sing to you that, that would be what you would have wanted me to do. I used the strength you gave me I sang with everything I had and the rest is history.
Eddie: I'm glad that even from the grave I was able to help you.
Eddie goes in and kisses Loren.
