Chapter 1

As the plane began its decent Loren curled up to Eddie nudging her head on his shoulder. Even through Eddie's light gray shirt you can see his muscles bulging as he tightens his grip on Loren's hand. Loren's hand went onto Eddie's chest as they looked at Nora and Max who were sleeping on each other's shoulders and they saw Jake and Kelly with eyes and fingers glued to their tablets. They would occasionally would look up and survey their surroundings and give one another the occasionally wink, but nothing life altering.

"Eddie I'm nervous," Loren whispered hoping not to wake her mom and Max.

"Babe why are you nervous?" Eddie asked as a reassuring smile escaped onto his face.

"What if they only like me because I am just one step closer to you?" Loren responded as she buried her face into his shoulder.

Eddie slowly lifted up Loren's face and said,

"I don't think that's going to be a problem."

Eddie gave Loren a reassuring kiss as the plane touched the ground. Nora and Max slowly woke up.

"What's that noise?" Nora asked as she looked out her window seeing nothing.

Loren and Eddie began to hear the muffled noise Nora was speaking of. The pilot walked back and said we could exit the plane. Our driver was already unloading the plane Eddie told everyone to allow Loren to go out first. Loren stood up with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't realize Eddie allowed fans at the private airport strip. Loren stepped out of the plane to see hundreds of fans lined up behind a silver barricade just beyond the stretch limousine. Loren waved and walked down the stairs as tears started to roll down her check. Eddie wasn't far behind her. Eddie put on a hoodie, hat, sunglasses, and he pulled the strings of the sweatshirt closed a little. He wanted this day to be all about Loren.

"LOREN! LOREN! LOREN!" the fans roared as Loren pulled Eddie's hood off and pulled his hood off.

The fans roared slightly louder noticing Eddie was there. He had been dead for nearly a week and everyone was thrilled to see him. Loren pulled Eddie close as the cameras flashed. She signed a few autographs as Eddie headed into the limo.

Loren was so tired from signing Loren Tate she nearly fell asleep on Eddie's lap in the limo. They drove into New York as the day turned to night.

"Loren you better get some sleep we have a photo shoot in the morning," Kelly said as she looked up from her tablet.

"What?" Loren asked in astonishment.

"Eddie didn't tell you?" Jake replied "the label wants you and Eddie to be together on both of your covers. One will feature Loren as the star and the other with Eddie as the star. They are trying to reassure fans about your relationship and they think it will make for more sales."

"Oh," Loren said cautiously, "Eddie why didn't you tell me?"

"What I can't surprise her anymore?" Eddie asked looking at Jake.

They sat in silence waiting for someone to talk. Nora and Max went to dinner at the Hard Rock Café while everyone else went to their hotel room. Eddie and Loren were happy they got to share a room. That night they feel asleep in each other's arms on the coach in the middle of a movie.
