Chapter 2
Eddie's P.O.V.
The next thing that happened wasn't a big surprise at all. Eddie punched Tyler hard in the stomach and then in the face. He climbed on top of him and kept hitting Tyler anywhere he could reach. Eddie finally gained control of himself again and got off Tyler and ran to Mel's side. He tried to help her up and struggled so he decided to try and yell for help instead. No one else appeared to be around other than the three of them, but he didn't give up just yet. His phone was out of reach and it seemed like Mel did not have one with her either. It was hopeless Eddie began to think, and he just gently tried shaking Melissa awake. Of course it was no use so he just wished someone would appear already and help them out. "Someone please help me! Please help, this girl is unconscious! Help!" His voice echoed throughout the parking lot and as he began to lay Mel back down to go back to his car and grab a phone he saw someone coming in the distance. Eddie couldn't make out the car right away but it seemed to be a… limo? What in the world would a limo be doing here in the middle of the day Eddie thought to himself. He started to wave his hands over his head trying to get the attention of the driver who at first didn't see him but then pulled over slightly to see what was going on. All that Eddie could do now was patiently wait for the limo driver to stop in the parking lot, possibly being able to help him take Mel to the hospital to get checked out.
Loren's P.O.V.
Loren was driving with her manager Kelly in the limo coming back from a recording session in the studio. She was in the middle of recording her new album that was meant to be released to the public just next month. She felt really excited and nervous at the same time, this being her third album coming out. Everyone seemed anxious to hear her new style and material. Kelly was in the middle of telling Loren that her newest song, Might As Well Be Mars would be her next #1 hit single and that she should include it in her song list for the newest album. Loren was debating whether it was too personal to include or if anyone would like it. While pondering this to herself she didn't notice right away when the driver started to slow down in front of some club. "Hey Kelly, why did Dave stop the limo right here, did we have something else to do today? I thought that I could come home now, after a long day at the studio." She paused and looked at a puzzled Kelly. "Wait a minute; did you set up something for me Kelly? Was this supposed to be some kind of a surprise?" Loren got excited because she loved how her manager was always looking to make her more successful in any way possible. "That is so sweet of you Kel." Kelly stared back at Loren and said, "Sorry, but I didn't set this up and I really have no idea why we are even here. We were supposed to go to dinner and then home for the night." The girls exchanged confused looks and leaned over to the front of the car. "Hey Dave, why did you decide to pull off the road right here? We aren't even headed in this direction to dinner." Dave just simply pointed his finger toward the windshield and indicated to something a few feet ahead of them. Loren tried to get a better view and stood up a little but instantly regretted it because she hit her head at the roof of the car. "Ouch!" was all she managed to say before sitting back down. Dave drove closer to whatever was in the parking lot. "Hey look, there are some people in the parking lot. One of them looks like she is unconscious!" He yelled to Kelly and Loren in the back. "Well don't just sit there, let's go and help them!" Loren shrieked once she heard what Dave had said to her. No one budged so Loren was the first to come out of the car, pushing her way past Kelly in the car and running out of the limo. She ran over to the boy who was leaning over the girl who was lying on the pavement, motionless. Loren couldn't make out what the girl looked like because the boy was blocking her view of her face. He finally moved somewhat out of the way allowing Loren to get a better look at what was going on. Loren hastily covered her hand with her mouth and let out a scream once she realized the person lying there in front of her was her best friend Melissa. She fell to her knees and took Mel's hand checking her pulse.
Eddie's P.O.V.
Eddie felt so relieved that the limo had seen him and had decided to stop and help him with Mel. He was wondering who was inside the car and felt uneasy about this for a moment but he just shook the feeling off. If they stopped to help him then they were surely good and safe people. He did not expect one of those people to be Loren Tate, his idol who he has been dying to meet for years now. Eddie was so caught up in helping Melissa that he didn't bother paying attention to the people coming out of the car. He figured that he would just explain to them what happened once they got close enough to them. He was not going to take any chances and leave Mel alone. Anything could happen he thought. The person that ran towards him seemed to be a girl but he couldn't quite tell because his back was facing her. He sensed her edging closer to them and moved to some extent aside so that she might get a better glance. Eddie was really surprised to hear the girl gasp, scream, and then fall to her knees. It's as if she knew Mel personally, but he thought how that could be, Mel didn't seem like the kind of person to know someone this wealthy. He finally turned around to face the person so that he could tell them what had happened. The last person he expected it to be was Loren Tate. Shock and awe were etched all over his face and he thought that this must be a dream. He rubbed his eyes and soon realized that this was no dream. For the first time ever he was seeing Loren in person. A wave of excitement rushed over him as he just stared at her but she didn't seem to notice. It's as if time had stopped in that moment and it was just the two of them. Eddie snapped back into reality and didn't know what to do to comfort her, for he was at a loss for words himself. His mind was just blank and just as he was about to say something to his one and only idol, Mel began to stir.
