After re-reading this story I wanted to change a few things, so I re-wrote parts of the story. It's still the same story base and just a few edits and removes/extensions. I think that if you read this story before you can feel how it's more real now and if you are a new reader of this story I welcome you and hope that you enjoy my story as much as I do!

The change in this story is that Katy is still alive and with her at Eddies side he breaks up with Chloe earlier but the contest never happened. Loren had been posting videos of her singing on the internet and Kelly contacted her and wants to meet with her with a possibility of signing her to Jakes label. The Jake and Traci drama is the same as they are getting a divorce but she never moved away to Chicago. Mel and Adam are over and he moved to New York a few months early for some honor program at NYU. Nora is married to Don since a month ago. Loren and Aid are not getting along as usual. Aid is still pregnant but nobody knows about it yet. It will focus mostly on Loren, Melissa and Eddie the first chapters just to get things going but later I will put in other peoples stories.

Loren had just gotten of the phone with this manager Kelly, she wanted to set up a meeting to talk about maybe signing her to Jake Madsen Management. JMM, oh my god! that would be amazing. Nora opened the door and interrupted her thoughts.

Nora: "What got you so exited?"

Loren: "I just got a call form the office of Jake Madsen Management! Do you know what that mean?!"

Nora: "No, so please enlighten me" She said with a smile.

Loren: "This girl Kelly from JMM called and said that she had some how come across a video of me singing and wants to meet me tomorrow to talk my future!" She almost screamed and hugged her mom.

Nora: "That sounds amazing, but are you sure that she is legit.. don't get me wrong, this is great. I just never thought that music was something that you would like to pursue"

Loren: "I never thought about it until now but if Kelly really thinks that I could make it I would love to try, and yes she's legit. I checked her out on their website, see there she is" She said and pointed at the computer screen.

Nora: She browsed through the site, "She seems fine, you want me to go with you?"

Loren: "No, I think that I'll be good anyway."

Nora: "I still think that you should bring Mel with you to stay somewhere close at all time. That girl is good to have by your side sometimes.

Loren: "I guess I can do that.. oh god! MEL! I have to call her!" She said as she grabbed her phone of her nightstand.

Nora made her way out of Loren's room, feeling that she wasn't up for a Lo-Mel happy moment she walked downstairs towards the kitchen to get dinner ready. Loren put the phone up to her ear and waited impatiently for Mel to pick up.

Mel: "Hey Lo what's up?"

Loren: "You are never going to believe this!"

Mel: "You saw it too? Eddie Duran is having a tribute concert this weekend! We have to go!"

Loren: "Wait, what? Where did you find that?"

Mel: "On his site, and he just tweeted about it so."

Loren: "So tickets are getting released in two hour, wanna come by and see if Dons internet is better than the rest of LA?"

Mel: "Of course Lo! We need to get those tickets!" She said and Loren could hear her jumping up and down. "Wait, if you didn't know than what was your big news?"

Loren: "Well you know that I've been posting some videos of me singing online, right?"

Mel: "Yeah, I'm still trying to find them considering that you wont let me listen to you sing otherwise." She laughed.

Loren: "Well, this girl Kelly whom is a junior manager at JMM called me and wants to meet me to talk about a possible music career!"

Mel: "And you let me go on and on about Eddies concert when you will be signing with his manager!"

Loren: "Eddie's signed there too? I didn't even know that." She was suddenly getting nervous.

Mel: "Yeah it is! But god Lo that is amazballs! When are you meeting her?"

Loren: "The nerves kicked in first now.. hmm, I don't know she left me her number and said that I should call to set up a time to come by the office tomorrow."

Mel: "Call her woman! it's spring break, so just pick a time, any time!" She was getting overly exited.

Loren: "Okay, I will but I was wondering if you would want to drive me there because if I'm gonna drive I wont even make it there until I back out so..." She could feel the nerves making her shake a bit.

Mel: "Well of course I will! Anything for the future superstar best friend of mine!"

Loren: "Thank you Mel, you're the best but I wouldn't go as far as superstar."

Mel: "You are a superstar and that's that! Now call this Kelly and set up a time. I'll come by tomorrow so can we prepare you for the meeting."

Loren: "Preparing.." She didn't get to say anything more before the line went dead. She was way to exited, but that was just Mel though. I was just happy to get her mind of Adam, their break up had not been the best for her. But I guess out of sight out of mind is starting to work.

AT THE DURAN HOUSE (Katy and Max's place)

Katy was setting the table as the guys were talking over a glass of scotch.

Max: "So are you exited about the tribute concert?"

Eddie: "Yeah, I just hope that Chloe can stay away from it.. It's kind of hard to move on with her around every corner."

Max: "I already have the security on top of that, she is never getting in. The best part of being famous." He laughed.

Eddie: Joined his father, "She's giving me a writers block and Jake is all over me about the next album. He wants it out to the fall and all I have is one song..."

Max: "Already? Sounds fast, we didn't even worked that hard when we were at full speed."

Eddie: "Then you were two and didn't have to pull the whole wight by yourself."

Max: "Maybe that's what you need a co-writer for the next album, you need to slow down and you're in a writing funk so why not?"

Eddie: "Sounds good, but I have to run it by Jake and see what he thinks and then it's just the matter of who it would be too..."

Max: "I think that pretty much anyone would like to work with the artist of the year so don't worry."

Eddie: "That may be but we still have to be able to work together, like you and mom used to."

Max: "I thought that you were looking for a co-writer not a wife." He said sarcastically.

Eddie: "Very funny dad.. But that wouldn't hurt." He teased him back.

Katy: "As long as I get to approve of her I'm fine with it."

Eddie: "You know that no girl gets past you mom"

Max: "She does have a talent for sorting out the good people that wife of mine." he said and gave her a light kiss.

Katy: "Well thank you husband." She said and gave him one quick kiss before returning to the kitchen.

Eddie: "If I end up with a marriage half as good as you guys I'm happy." He said with a smile.

Max: "Your mom makes it easy to love her so"

Eddie: "She sure does.." He got cut off by the door bell

Eddie walked over to the front door and opened it.

Man: "Hey mate!" He said and pushed his way into the house.

Eddie: "Ian, good to see you. When did you get in?"

Ian: "Just an hour ago, I went by your penthouse to drop of my things. I figured it was a Duran dinner tonight."

Eddie: "You know it is, every wednesday and sunday." He said as they did that guy-hug-thing that guys do.

The guys made their way into the kitchen where dinner was just about ready.
