Hi guys thanks again for taking time to read this 2 part one shot. Please review; every time you do I'm inspired to write more!

Modern Cinderella (One shot ) Part 2

There was Chaos everywhere at MK, Loren's step sisters made a huge scene.

Eddie Picked up the lyric book; all he could think off was that beautiful brunette that caught his attention the moment she started to sing; he tried to follow her but other girls were getting in his way trying to hug and kiss him. When he finally reached the door; she was gone.

Meanwhile:

Loren arrived home; she rushed through the streets; she sat in the car trying to catch her breath and wondered how she got there so fast. She got out of the car and ran to her room and got ready for bed and sat to recover from all of the running she had to do to get home before Don did; her phone rang. It was Mel. "Lo you realize you won?"

"Yes I know I can't worry about that right now; if Don comes home and I wasn't in my room I would never hear the end of it and he would have grounded me for life."

"Everyone is looking for you; even Eddie."

"I'll worry about it later Mel, I hear Don's car pulling in."

She quickly got into bed and pretended to close her eyes; Don walked in and dropped his bags on the floor, before he was headed up the stairs when the door slammed opened. It was his pitiful daughters.

"How was the party?"

Adrianna rolled her eyes. "I don't know, we were told we were going to meet Eddie Duran and nothing, they made us wait and wait."

"Ugh, it was horrible daddy, he never came."

"Now what made you think he would?"

"I don't know, we were told to wait in this room and he would come, but when we finally got out, we saw a winner had been chosen in the contest."

Don looked up the stairs. "You didn't see Loren there did you?"

"No, there was no sign of her."

"I'm going to make sure she's in her room."

"We'll come with you." Both girls trailed behind him and walked into Loren's room. "See she's here."

Don smiled. "Both of you head to bed girls, it's very late already."

Meanwhile at MK:

"So now what?" Asked Kelly as she sat looking through her papers.

"We could make the runner up the winner." Replied an anxious Jake.

"No!" Eddie stepped in front of them. "She won for a reason, she had the best voice and the best songs, and I want her."

"But she left."

"I have her lyric book; looking through it she's very talented; look at all of these songs, she has what it takes."

Jake turned towards Kelly. "So who won?"

"The name would be revealed tonight, I only had the code name they were given."

Eddie made it clear. "We have to find her! I think if we use her lyric book we will find her!"

Jake took his phone out. "So we let the media announce we need the winner to reveal who she is?"

"Yes, everyone knew about this contest, she will come, we will identify her through her lyric book; the real owner of this book will tell us what this contains, that way there can avoid any imposters."

Back in Loren's room:

She couldn't sleep, she was too excited; she had won the contest, but now how was she going to let Eddie Duran know she was the girl that won?

Her computer buzzed. She smiled; she knew it was Mel. "It's so late what are you doing up?"

"I know Lo; I can't sleep, you won and we have got to get you to Eddie."

"How can we do it? And I lost my lyric book; all of my songs were in that book."

"Let me think I know we can figure this out."

"Ok we'll talk in school tomorrow."

Loren hit the power button and closed her laptop; she walked over to the window as she stood there; she saw a falling star, she closed her eyes and made a wish.

The following morning the news was everywhere!

MYSTERY WINNER OF EDDIE DURAN'S CONTEST IS MISSING.

WHERE IS THE BRUNETTE BEAUTY?

SHE WON THE CONTEST AND RAN AWAY; WHERE IS THIS MODERN CINDERELLA?

Loren and Mel arrived at school, Loren's eyes widen; reporters were everywhere. "Mel what are they doing here?"

"I'm sure they know the winner comes to this school, all the contestants were from here."

"We have to go to MK and find out what happened to my lyric book."

"I can go Lo."

"I want to come too."

"What if Don finds out? It's safer if I go and ask."

"No Mel, I'm tired of hiding from him, we will both go; he won't be home for a while."

After school both girls drove to MK. There were reporters and paparazzi everywhere. And a line of girls waiting to get inside as well; Loren was worried.

"Mel how can we get in?"

"Come on; you won Lo; this is your chance to get away from Don and his witches."

They got off the car and walked towards MK; the reporters were so busy trying to get someone from MK to open the door; the girls were screaming for Eddie that gave Mel a chance to sneak to the back of the building; she held on to Loren's hand and pulled her towards that area before they were spotted. When they got there the back door was locked.

Loren cringed and looked back at her. "Ok how are we supposed to get inside?"

Mel looked up. "There's window up there, if you give me a lift I know we can reach it."

"Mel we can get arrested; that's called breaking in!"

"Ugh Lo then how will we get you inside?"

Loren rolled her eyes and helped Mel climb on the ledge of the building. "Lo I can't reach it; you'll have to push harder."

"Mel you realize you're not that light?"

"Yes I know that, just hold me for a little bit longer."

Both were so busy trying to reach that top window that neither heard someone walk up to them.

"Can I help you ladies?"

Both girls jumped at the sound of the woman's voice. Mel smiled. "You're Katy Duran?"

Katy wasn't too sure if she should trust them. "What do you want?"

Before Loren could say another word they heard Eddie talking to the reporters in the front of the building, he was announcing that whoever owned the lyric book would have to show proof of owning it.

"I need the winner to show up tomorrow night and be ready to prove she's our winner."

Loren and Mel looked at Katy. "Ok I guess we will come back tomorrow night."

Katy tried stopping them; but they were too fast for her. Loren and Mel reached the car. "Mel I could have told her right there I was the winner."

"No! Eddie just said tomorrow night; you'll come then; we have to get you dressed to meet him."

"What?"

"Lo he's going to be the one you have to give proof too; you can't show up looking like this; you have to look you know nicer."

Loren looked at her top and jeans. "What's wrong with how I look?"

"Never mind Loren; just wait and see."

When Loren got home she was surprised to find her mom there. "Mom you're home!"

Nora smiled. "Yes I took a cab; I tried calling Don but I can't seem to find him anywhere."

Loren hugged her mom and started to cry. "I missed you so much; why didn't you call me?"

"I know you're in school."

"You should have told me mom."

"I called Don last night and asked him to tell you."

"He never said anything."

Nora looked around. "The house looks great; has everyone helped with chores?"

Loren sighed and looked at Mel. "Sorry Lo but your mom has to know what's been going on here."

Nora furrowed her eye brows as she looked at Mel and back to Loren. "What's going on?"

Before Loren could stop her Mel told her how Don and his monster daughters made Loren do every single chore in the house; and how she entered Eddie's contest. Nora hugged her daughter.

"Sweetie I'm so sorry."

Loren couldn't help it and sobbed as Mel filled Nora in with all that went on while she laid in the hospital for 3 months.

When Don and his daughter arrived Nora was waiting for them; she had called her lawyer and filed complaints against them and asked them to leave or she would have them arrested. They had no choice but to leave; Don was insistent though.

"You're my wife Nora!"

"Not anymore; my lawyer will call your lawyer; this ends today Don."

Both he and his daughters packed and left; they had been free loading off of Nora for too long and treating Loren the way they did was the last straw.

Later that evening:

"Loren you're going to MK tomorrow and let the Duran's know you're the winner; there was no need for you to take off like you did after you were announced the winner."

"He wouldn't let me see you or talk to you if I didn't do as he told me."

"He's gone; it's just you and I sweetie."

Mel smiled. "Now get some rest; I'll be here to help you Lo; we have to be there by 7p.m."

"I'll be waiting and I'm ready." Loren was confident as she replied to her best friend.

The following evening couldn't come fast enough for Loren and Mel. She wore skinny black jeans with a silk tank top and scarf wrapped around her shoulders; Loren was simple when it came to make-up and hair; evidently her beauty was more obvious because she kept it so simple.

"See now this is much better Lo."

Loren shook her head. " I don't see a difference from yesterday."

They arrived at MK a half hour early; there was a long line of girls waiting.

Mel could have screamed. "Lo can you believe these liars? What makes them think they own your lyric book?"

Loren shrugged her shoulders. "I guess the thought of actually seeing Eddie face to face has them willing to do anything."

"Well they have no idea you're the winner; you're the one who will work with Eddie for a career of your own."

It was almost 7; Max and Katy opened the door to let the line of girls inside; Katy noticed Loren and smiled; she knew where she had seen her. Nora and Mel walked to get their seats.

Max counted the girls; he turned to his wife. "I thought there were 15 finalists?"

Katy smiled. "I knew this would happen; let's hope the real winner is here and we can end this whole chaotic mess."

As Eddie walked to the stage; one by one each girl approached him; some had the nerve to quickly kiss him and run away giggling. He sighed and turned to Jake. Jake rolled his eyes and replied.

"I told you this would happen; we should have made the runner up the winner."

"No Jake I know the real winner is in this line."

Katy walked to where Loren stood in line. "I saw you yesterday didn't I?"

Loren nodded avoiding eye contact. "Yes Mrs. Duran."

Katy focused on her. "You're our winner aren't you?"

"Yes and I can prove it."

"And you are?"

Loren smiled and took a deep breath. "Loren Tate."

"Come with me, there has to be over 50 girls here; this will take all night."

She walked towards Eddie with Loren in tow. "Excuse me ladies; you can all leave; we have our winner."

Eddie furrowed his eyes. "Mom we have a line of girls waiting."

"Eddie this is Loren Tate."

He looked at her and smiled; something about her made him feel warm all over.

"Hi Loren; can you prove this is your lyric book?"

She smiled and quickly named each and every song in that lyric book. He looked up back at her; you couldn't wipe that smile off his face if you tried.

"We finally meet Loren Tate." He extended his hand to her.

She blushed and was sure the butterflies were nonstop as their hands touched.

He turned to Jake and Kelly. "Our winner guys."

Kelly hugged Loren. "Are you ready for this?"

She smiled; she seemed to be doing that a lot lately. "As ready as I can be."

From that moment on Loren started to record all of the songs written in her lyric book: Jake and Kelly were at awe with her talent; her first album climbed the Billboard charts; she was scheduled to open for Eddie and tour with him. He loved watching her perform; they had been on the road almost a year; she had the most amazing voice; Loren was reaching Eddie's level in popularity. Nominated and attended the AMA's.

"You were great tonight Loren."

"You always say that Eddie."

"I can't tell you enough; I can't forget that day Kelly played your entry song and I heard you; I knew it at that moment that you were going to make it in this business."

"You're always so sweet and supportive of everything I do Eddie; I can't thank you enough for all of your help."

"You deserve this and so much more."

Their eyes met; their attraction was mutual; Eddie couldn't help himself and leaned in to kiss her. Loren kissed him back allowing him to deepen the kiss. After that amazing kiss Loren and Eddie began to date. Fans called them Leddie.

A few months later while on stage performing Eddie got down to one knee and asked Loren to marry him. She immediately said yes.

Within a few months they were married and this modern Cinderella who had been through so much; was finally happy with her well let's just say Prince Eddie.

Yes as every fairytale ever told ends; they lived happily ever after! The End.
