Everyone on the plane is sleeping including Eddie. Eddie though is not enjoying his sleep all that much. In the beginning his dreams start off sweet as he remembers his first kiss with Loren, their intense make out session over the pastrami sandwiches their intense kiss at their spot the day before when he remembers his moments with Chloe. Everything Chloe did to him starts to come back. Eddie is tossing and turning while he remembers his time with Chloe until he remembers Leah kissing him when he wakes up in a sweat. Eddie looks around the plane and sees that everyone besides for Max is still sound asleep. Loren looks so cute sleeping peacefully in his arms. Eddie is really happy that Loren was drugged up so she didn't wake up from his un-peaceful sleep. Eddie falls deep into thought while he is stroking Loren lovingly when Max starts talking.
Max: What are you thinking about son?
Eddie Jumps
Eddie: Dad, hi sorry I just have something on my mind.
Max: Yeah I can see that, you want share what's weighing down on your mind?
Eddie: It's private
Max: Everyone else is sleeping it's just us.
Max gets up and sits next to Eddie.
Eddie: I know it's just that something happened while I was away that I know Loren needs to know about, I just really don't want her think too much into it and take it the wrong way. Pops I really can't lose her again.
Max: Eddie you didn't, how could you do that to her?
Eddie: Dad I didn't someone else did I stopped it right away.
Max: Your right she needs to know, I just hope you didn't throw it all away
Eddie: You really think she'll get upset about it.
Max: Of course she will, while you were thought to be dead she sat here crying and crying for days and you go and, and...
Eddie: Dad you're yelling.
Max: Of course I am, I'm angry at you son. You had something so amazing. How could you do that to her?
At this point Loren stirs and wakes up.
Loren: Do what to whom?
Eddie is now super pissed and confused.
Eddie: Nothing honey go back to sleep.
Loren: What time is it, how long have I been asleep for?
Eddie: You just slept for an hour we still have four hours left to go.
Loren: Why is the flight so long? I always thought that flying private can get you to your destination faster than flying commercial.
They both laugh. Eddie leans forward and kisses Loren.
Eddie: Lo
Loren: Yeah?
Eddie: I love you.
Loren: I know that.
Eddie: So get some rest you have a long day ahead of you.
Loren: I can't believe I'm on my way to New York for a real live concert, with me as the performer.
Kelly: Uh oh, who woke Loren up?
Eddie: Dad did.
Kelly: Max!
Max: I'm sorry I really am I was just talking to Eddie.
Kelly: Okay now let Loren rest again, she needs as much of it as she can get.
Max: Eddie can I talk to you in the back of the plane please.
Eddie: Yeah, one minute dad. [To Loren] I'm going to go and straighten things up with my dad. Try to rest I'll be right back okay.
Loren: [sleepily] Okay
Eddie slips out from under Loren kisses her on the forehead and follows Max to the back of the plane. Loren quickly slips back into a peaceful sleep while Max and Eddie are talking near the bathrooms in the back of the plane so that no one else especially Loren will hear what they are talking about.
Eddie: What dad? Now what?
Max: I'm not even sure what to say Eddie, I don't even know where to begin. I can't even describe how angry i am at you right now.
Eddie: I see you're angry dad but i don't get why it's not even like i cheated on you or with your girlfriend.
Max: Eddie, if you don't like Loren then tell her that, don't keep acting like you are her boyfriend and then cheat on her behind her back.
Eddie: Dad it was so not like that.
Max: Then what was it like exactly?
Eddie: Well while i was gone this guy and his sister took care of me. They really were amazing and i know that i owed them both my life. Well after i heard Loren talk about me in the past tense during an interview i knew i had to get back. Anyway Leah drove me back to LA and while we were in the Motel she hit on me and kissed me. I pushed her off immediately and yelled at her that i was in love with Loren, i was and still am really angry at her for kissing me i never even thought about her in that way so the kiss really took me by surprise. The problem i now have is that i know Loren needs to know she kissed me but i cant loose her pops it was way to hard the first time i cant do it a second time.
Max: I understand you never wanted any of this to happen but Eddie, it has and now you will have to deal with it properly. Loren needs to find out weather you like it or not. By not telling her you will be keeping such a huge secret from her, you will see it will get in the way of your love. By telling her though you will probably loose her. She really fell apart when you were gone i don't think she will take this well at all.
Eddie: So what do you say i do now?
Max: For now i think you have to put it onto the back burner and help Loren get through the next couple of days.
Eddie: So you're saying i shouldn't tell her while we are here in New York?
Max: How would she perform if she found out about this now?
Eddie: You're right it would totally ruin her performance. So i go through this entire trip here as if nothing has ever happened?
Max: Unless that kiss meant something to you it shouldn't be to hard to forget about it.
Eddie: It's hard to forget about something when you know it will hurt your girlfriend.
Max: Eddie, i can see you truly love Loren, hopefully you can show her that love and she will see it the same way i do, but cheating on her will put doubts into her head about how much and if you really love her. She will probably have a really hard time trusting you Eddie.
Eddie: Dad, i can't believe this happened i really want to kill that little bitch. I don't think i can ever forgive her for putting me and Loren in this position.
Max: Do you know why she kissed you? were you leading her on or something.
Eddie: Pops! no way, none of this ever even occurred to me. For me she was just the girl nursing me back to health because we both had no way out of the situation. I was so angry when she kissed me, i was furious, i still am.
Max: Well then hope that Loren can see that and understand that when you tell her. Remember your off the hook for spilling the beans until after New York but once we are all back home you have to tell her right away the more you procrastinate the worse off the situation will be when she finally does find out. Remember Eddie, these types of things always come out in the open one way or the other no matter how hard we try to hide them. You want to be able to control the way she finds out so it doesn't blow up into something it isn't.
Eddie: Thanks dad.
Max and Eddie walk back to the front of the plane where everyone besides for Loren is now awake.
Kelly: Wow that looked like an extremely intense conversation you two had going on back there. Is everything okay?
Max: Yeah were fine.
Kelly: Eddie you don't look too good. Why don't you rest a little we still have three hours left until the end of this flight.
Eddie is afraid to go back to sleep so he shrugs off Kelly's suggestion.
He sits back down and holds Loren tightly, he begins to cry when the reality of his current situation hits him. Max looks at him with a sad look on his face. Nora notices this and questions Max about it.
Nora: Max, what is going on between you and Eddie.
Max: Nothing that you have to worry about.
Nora: Max you're moving into my house with me don't you think that anything you have to worry about so do i?
Max: You might be right for most instances but not for this one. This is not my place to say anything. I'm sorry Nora, but it will all work itself out in the end, i promise you it will.
Nora: I don't even know what we are talking about but i trust you Max.
Max: Good then you have nothing to worry about.
Max then kisses Loren when Kelly starts to giggle. Nora pulls away
Nora: Kelly, what's so funny.
Kelly: I just find it funny that you two are dating while your kids are also dating each other.
Max and Nora look at each other and then at Kelly.
Nora: I never thought about that, that is pretty strange
Kelly: What are you going to do about that?
Nora: Now? Nothing i guess we'll see where this all takes us, all of us.
Kelly: Okay then.
For the next two and half hours they all have nice pleasant conversations while Loren stays sound asleep the entire time. About ten minutes before they are going to land Kelly looks at Eddie and starts talking.
Kelly: Eddie, can you wake up Loren so she can prepare for landing.
All of a sudden Eddie looks sick as he remembers that he will have to face Loren and keep the kiss with Leah a secret.
Jake: Hey, Eddie are you sure you're alright you look horrible.
Eddie: Actually
Max quickly cuts him off.
Max: Eddie is fine Jake. Eddie wake up Loren we are about to touch down.
Eddie takes a deep breath in and then kisses Loren she stirs opens her eyes sees Eddie and smiles.
