Chapter 2

(Skip to about 2 hours before Eddie and Loren's lunch date…)

**Loren and Mel convo on phone**

Loren: Mel, I need you over here like pronto! Eddie and I are going on a lunch date before dinner tonight and I have absolutely no idea what to wear!

Mel: OMG Lo! When did you meet him anyways?

Loren: Well, with all that went on yesterday, I wrote a little bit of a new song at my spot, which also happens to be Eddie's spot I guess.

Mel: Well, seems like this took less work than I thought it was going to take.

Loren: Come on Mel be realistic. This date might be fun and all, but I don't think we would last as a couple.

Mel: Whatever Lo. You guys are going to be together forever and ever, don't try to deny it. Okay, I'm on my way.

Loren: Okay, see you in a bit Mel.

**Hangs up and walks into the living room**

Loren: Oh, hey Mom!

Nora: Hey sweetie!

Loren: So, Mel is coming over to help me choose what to wear on a date.

Nora: Oooooo my baby has a date. *in baby voice* with who?

Loren: Eddie Duran. It's not a big deal.

Nora: Big deal?! Yeah it is. But from what I hear from Mel, he is incredibly sweet, and I think he would be good for you. I never liked that Cameron.

Loren: Yeah, mom, that's weird. That's what Melissa said too just a second ago.

Nora: Loren, it's true. I think you guys would be cute together.

**KNOCK KNOCK**

**Loren gets up and opens the door**

Loren: Hey, Mel.

Mel: Hey, Lo. Now, let's go swarm your closet for something for you to wear on this date.

**Loren and Melissa walked into Loren's room*

*****Eddie's penthouse….Eddie is talking with Ian****

Ian: Gosh mate, I love her you know?

Eddie: Yeah, she is really cool. I hope it works out with Loren. Oh, I have to go get ready for our date.

Ian: What date?

Eddie: Oh yeah. So you know how I have like little spots all over L.A. that I go to when I need inspiration or just need to think? Well, I saw Loren there last night and she was singing this song, and it was just so beautiful. I barely know her, but it seems like I love her already.

Ian: Wow mate, you got it bad. You guys are totally going to work out.

Eddie: Yeah, I hope so. It just seemed like she thought it wasn't going to work when we were talking last night.

Ian: What do you mean?

Eddie: I saw it in her eyes. I saw confusion, sadness, wonder, and almost something like regret. Like she regretted seeing me up on that hill or something, but whatever.

**Eddie walks upstairs and gets ready for his date with Loren**

*****Loren's bedroom… Mel helped Loren pick out an outfit. She was wearing a sundress with white sandals*****

Mel: Wow Lo, you look beautiful.

Loren: *spins around for Mel* Really?

Mel: Definitely. He is going to drool over you.

Loren: Yeah I doubt it. Let's go.

**Loren and Eddie met up at the café.**

Eddie: Wow, um hi Loren.

Loren: Hey Eddie.

Eddie: You look… amazing.

Loren: Umm, thanks. You look nice too.

Eddie: Okay, come on let's sit down.

**Eddie and Loren sat down at a table and ordered their food. They were talking while they were waiting.**

Eddie: I know I said this already, but last night, your song was truly beautiful.

Loren: *blushes* Thank you. I was just messing around with my guitar.

Eddie: No, Loren. I could tell you were getting your feelings out. And that's okay. I do that all the time.

Loren: *looking down at the table* Yeah….

Eddie: Loren?

Loren: Yeah?

Eddie: You should really let my manager Jake sign you. You have a beautiful voice, you can play guitar, and you can definitely write your own songs, I can tell. You should let me hear more songs sometime.

Loren: *smiles* I can't promise anything, but maybe.

**Eddie and Loren eat their food and are about to walk out of the café**

Eddie: *stands up* Loren, I had really fun, and we should definitely do this again.

Loren: I had fun too. So, I guess I will see you- *Loren is interrupted when she sees someone walk into the café*

Person: Hey Loren.

Loren: *backing up* W-what do you want?

Person: To be with you!

Loren: I HATE YOU CAM! I want you out of my life for good.

Cam: No, I will always be watching you Loren, I will get you back.

Eddie: No, listen here. You don't deserve Loren. She is beautiful, smart, funny, and selfless. She gave you her heart but you broke it into pieces. Just know this, if you come near my girl, I swear, I will knock you into next Tuesday.

Loren's thoughts: Wow, did he just call me his girl? He is so sweet. I think Mel and Mom were right. We are totally going to be together forever.

Cam: Well, just know this Loren. Every man is going to be like your father. Yes, I know about your father and how he left you when you were four. He left you heart- broken. That's how every guy will leave you, so just be prepared.

**Loren ran outside and started running away from the café. Eddie was following right behind her.**

Eddie: Loren, t-that is not true. Okay, I would never leave you.

Loren: No, I know Eddie. H-he didn't have t bring my father into this. He could've just told me how he f-felt when we were alone, not out in public. N-now I see what stupid mistake I made dating that asshole. Okay, and Eddie look, you don't have to stick up for me or pretend that you care about me. I'm a big girl, I can stand up for myself and take care of myself.

Eddie: *cupped Loren's face with both of his hands and made her look him in the eyes* Look Loren, I do care about you. I never pretend when I'm around you. I know that we just met, but ever since I heard that song, I promised myself to always protect you, and I got strong feelings for you when I heard it as well.

Loren: *crying* Why does a-all of t-these bad things happen to me? Why me? I don't think I did anything wrong. I just wish th-

**Eddie cut Loren off by kissing her. Eddie left one hand cupping Loren's cheek while the other went to her waist. Loren put one hand around Eddie's neck and the other on his chest. They kissed for about two minutes when Loren pulled away.**

Loren: *smiling* Thank you.

Eddie: I didn't do anything.

Loren: Yes you did. You helped me out so much. You know what Eddie, I like you a lot. And I do believe that you really do care about me. I don't deserve any of this.

Eddie: Of course you do deserve it Loren. You're an amazing girl.

Loren: *smiles* And you're an amazing guy.

***Loren wrapped her hands around Eddie's neck again and kissed him. Theeir kiss was full of passion. They didn't notice the bright flashes that were around them when their lips touched..***

SO, there's Chapter Two. I hope you guys like it. Please Review.
