"Eddie, I just think you need to take some more time. You don't need to rush this."

"Pop, I love her. Chloe is the one. I know you don't like her, but you have to understand I love her."

"It's not that I don't like her son, I just don't trust her."

"Enough pop. You have to stop this. I'm a big boy dad, I can make my own decisions." Eddie said angrily as he stormed out of his dads place.

Eddie decided to go to Chloe's. He needed to be with her, especially since she hadn't been feeling well and was resting. He was going to go take care of her. He placed his key in the lock and quietly entered her place so as not to disturb her. As he slowly went to her bedroom he could hear her moaning and was immediately concerned so he went faster to her. As he entered her room he stood in shock. There was the woman he loved, the one he thought loved him, riding Tyler Rourke, his nemesis. He angrily turned around and stormed out, slamming the door as he went.

Chloe heard the door slam and immediately got up and went running knowing in her heart who it had been. She sat down and put her head in her hands knowing she just lost her future being taken care of. "Come on Angel, you know you will worm yourself back in first thing tomorrow. In the mean time let's enjoy this time. She looked up and smiled with confidence and followed Tyler back into her room.

Eddie knew he couldn't go back to his dads place and get the "I told you so", so he went to his managers office instead.

"Hey you., How's my Rock Star?" Jake asked as he saw Eddie walk in.

"I need to work Jake. Lot's of work, please."

"What's wrong my friend?" Jake asked.

"I just walked into Chloe's apartment to take care of her because she was sick." Eddie said using his fingers to show quotes on the sick part, "And she was in her bed riding none other then Tyler Rourke."

"Aw man, wow, um.. I guess it was to be expected." Jake said and Eddie instantly turned to him in question.

"What do you mean expected?"

"I mean, Chloe, well Chloe is a gold digger. I um.. I thought you knew that."

"I was in love with her Jake. I was ready to ask her to marry me."

"I'm sorry Eddie. Look I will keep you busy. We are fixing to pick the winner of the song lyric competition, so if you want to widdle it down to five finalist that could keep you busy listening to music."

"Sounds good." Eddie said as he walked over to the player to start listening.

"So are we in this together?" Melissa asked Nora and Adrian.

"Of course. I'm just thankful my daughter has such good friends as you two are."

"I'm just glad that Mel here was smart enough to record her when she didn't know." Adrian says smiling.

"Okay then, one, two and three." Mel said as she then hit the send button.

"Hey, do you also have it recorded on a CD? Adrian asks.

"Yeah why?"

"Well my dad is the doctor who worked on Eddie Duran's dad. I can maybe get his address and show up at his door. With a little bit of luck maybe he will feel open about listening to the CD."

"That's perfect." Nora says smiling, then they all hugged each other. "Um... do you think maybe I could ride with you Adrian? I would actually love to meet Max Duran. He was my idol. I absolutely loved his music."

"Sure." Aid said.

Kelly, Jake's assistant walked into the room. "Jake, where are the songs to listen to?"

"Eddie is listening. He is going to pick the top five."
"Oh okay." she said a little disappointed.

"It's okay Kel, you will still be the one working with whoever wins. You and Eddie."

"Thanks," she said giving a smile to the man she has had a huge crush on since she started working here. She knew it was wrong to try to get him to notice her but heck he has been divorced for awhile now. She could always hope. She looked down at her list of who she had already picked the top five to be, she was curious to see who Eddie picked.
