Thank you for your reviews! I appreciate them so much! Keep them coming! Enjoy this chapter.
Loren narrates…..
"It's been a week since news broke of Eddie dating Karina Montgomery and as you might guess I keep pinching myself and wishing very hard that this is all a bad dream. It hurts to breathe when I see them together and the media don't help either because that's all they talk about! Eddie Duran and Karina Montgomery are the cutest couple ever. Ugh! I'm going to scream if I hear that one more time! Oh and get this! She wants to break into singing. I doubt she can sing a single note! I told Mel that's the reason she hovered over Eddie, she wants to sing and why not use Eddie to help her launch a music career?"
Mel notices Loren hasn't left her piano for several hours. And she knows her best friend is hurting but she hides it pretty well especially when Eddie is around. No one would ever know she's been crying on the inside.
"How long are you going to sit here?" Mel looks at her cell phone. "It's after one o' clock in the afternoon aren't you going to eat?"
Loren sighs. "I'm not hungry."
"Are you still working on that same song?" Mel wonders.
"Yeap and I can't seem to finish it, and I don't know what else to do with it." Loren taps her fingers on the piano several times.
Mel rolls her eyes. "Eddie has enough songs and if he needs anymore there are always other music writers that are willing to help out."
"I guess." Loren barely responds.
Mel sits next to her best friend. "You can't sit around and just wallow all day in front of that piano."
"I was able to finish any song I wrote in a few hours and now I don't know where to begin or end them." Loren was really trying.
"You've lost your inspiration because you think you've lost Eddie."
Loren furrows her eyes. "Because I think? Mel haven't you heard he's dating the Sports for Men magazine Model Karina?"
"Yes I heard and you thought he didn't have time to date." Mel smirked.
Eddie's mom Katie walks in and the moment she did Loren's facial expression changed. "Katie!" She got up and practically runs towards her.
Loren narrates…
"I love Katie the moment we met we had this amazing connection and she's like a second mom to me. Katie has been through so much because after they had Eddie she had several miscarriages. That was so hard on her and Max and it became too much for Katie to handle so they stopped trying."
Katie's smile grew. "I'm happy to see you." She hugged Loren and immediately noticed Loren's demeanor. "What's wrong honey?"
Mel cleared her throat. "She's lost her inspiration to write."
Katie sighed. "Loren you know that twitch is only trying to get according to Jake and Max a singing career with Eddie's help and I honestly think she hasn't got a singing bone in her body."
Mel laughed. "I knew it! Have you heard her Katie?"
Katie looked around. "Hmmmm Jake did and he says she needs a lot of work."
Mel looked at Loren. "You sing better than she does Loren."
Loren rolled her eyes. "I only sing when I'm working on the songs I write."
"And you do it beautifully Loren dear." Katie responded.
Mel's phone rang. "I have to take this call." She walked out of the room.
Katie turned her attention towards Loren. "Honey I know you're hurting because of this dating mess Eddie got himself into."
Loren finally made eye contact with her. "You know how I feel about him Katie and I know you and mom thought it was a crush when I was younger but I'm 20 years old now and I know what I'm feeling for Eddie is love."
"I know honey and I'm sorry Eddie has never realized how you've felt about him." Katie hugs her softly.
Loren pulled her hair to the side. "We're close friends and that's all he'll ever see."
Katie held her hand. "You know it's going to take something huge to wake my son up and then he'll realize how much he means to you."
Loren sighed and turned her attention to her piano playing a few tunes and begins to sing.
"When I think of you
I think of sunny days in June
Warm, nice and tender
The sun in your heart
When I think of you
I think of dancin' in the street
Feeling every beat
Of the good summer fun.."
She looked at Katie. "That's all I have and I can't think of what could follow."
Katie smiled. "Loren you have what it takes to sing."
Loren furrowed her eyes in confusion. "I write the songs Katie."
"So that doesn't mean you can't sing, and if you want examples there are plenty of artists that write and song their own songs like Taylor Rift. (Name has been changed)
"She's amazing and right up there with Eddie." Loren responded.
"You can do the same thing Loren why don't you give it a try with this song?" Katie's tone was positive.
Loren narrates…
"I can't imagine myself on stage singing! I think I would panic standing in front of so many fans watching me. That's something for Eddie! Maybe Katie is right and I have what it takes and I honestly don't sound too bad. But Katie is partial to me and she wouldn't say anything negative and hurt my feelings."
Katie notices Loren isn't responding to her question. "Earth to Loren."
Loren smiles. "Sorry Katie I was just thinking I couldn't possibly take this away from Eddie."
"Take what away honey?" Katie questions.
"From the moment we met he was going to sing the songs I wrote."
"And he has done exactly that and if he needs more music there are plenty of writers available to help my son."
"I don't know what to think." Loren sighs heavily.
"That song could be for you Loren so try hard to finish it and make it your own." Katie got up from where she was sitting.
"I'm going to get some water." She adds.
"I have some in that small fridge in the corner." Loren points to the area.
Katie made her way towards the fridge and the door suddenly opens and Eddie walks in. "Hey beautiful what are you up too?"
Katie smiled as she made her way back to where Eddie was. "Are you talking to me son?"
"Hey mom! Didn't think I'd see you here today." He acknowledges her. "I was talking to my girl Loren."
Loren narrates…
"His girl? He has some nerve! I could zap his butt for breaking my heart, and the worse part I have to pretend like I'm ok and we're ok. I love the way Katie looks at him. Too bad he can't read his mom's mind because I'm pretty sure she wants to smack him."
Katie takes a sip of the water. And Eddie places a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Aren't you supposed to be recording?" Katie asks.
"Not today my schedule is set for my first tour." He looks at his phone. "Not going to far but I'm set to start in San Francisco."
Katie's smiles. "I think you might have someone to open for you very soon."
Loren's eyes widen and turns her attention towards Katie trying to tell her with her eyes not to say anything but she's ignored. "Did you know Loren has a beautiful singing voice?"
Eddie narrows his eyes. "I've heard her hum a few songs but honestly I haven't pay attention."
Loren jumps in. "Don't listen to your mom."
"Oh really?" Katie picks up her phone and presses the button and Loren could be heard singing the song she's been working on.
Loren's eyes widen. "You recorded me? Katie that's not fair!"
Eddie smiles. "That's really beautiful Loren."
"I write the songs I don't sing them." She looks at Eddie. "That's your department."
Eddie kneels down to her level. "You have what it takes Loren." He looks around. "You have a better chance of a career than Karina does."
Loren could feel her blood pressure rising. "Really!" She gets up and looks at Katie. "I guess you're right Katie maybe I should give this a chance."
Katie can't contain herself. "Are you serious Loren?"
Mel walks in with a tray containing a salad and a cup of tea. "What's Loren's serious about?"
Katie responds before Eddie or Loren can say another word. "Loren will no longer write songs for Eddie."
Mel's eyes widen. "It's about time!" She looks at Eddie. "No offense Eddie."
Katie continues. "Loren is going to sing her heart out."
At that moment Karina walks in and makes her way towards Eddie. "I was looking for you babe." She looks at Katie, Loren and Mel. "What's all the excitement about?" She wraps her hand around Eddie's arm.
Mel has never felt so proud. "I guess you won't be the only one with a music career and get ready Karina dear because Loren is going to sing and zap your butt out of this world."
Karina looks at Loren. "Oh really? Jake says I need to practice a little bit more but with a body like mine I guess that's all I'll need."
Mel spits the water out. "Ha what body? You're all stick and bones."
Eddie turns towards Mel. "Let's be nice." He smiles as he kisses Karina's hand. "She's going to be amazing."
Karina smiles proudly. "Thanks Babe and now I wonder who's going to write songs for me." She immediately looks at Loren.
Loren ignores her comment and gets up and picks up her bag flipping over her shoulder. "You're going to have to hire someone to help you." Loren is quick to say.
Karina gives Eddie a sad look. "She won't help me babe."
Loren proudly responds. "No I won't because from now on I will write the songs that I will sing." She walks out and both Eddie and Karina look at Katie.
"She's serious isn't she?" Eddie asks.
Katie shrugs her shoulders. "I think she is."
Mel trails behind her best friend.
Loren narrates….
"Omg I can't even breathe! I can't believe I said that! What have I gotten myself into? What if I can't sing? I must be crazy to think I could do this! I had to show Karina I have potential and all I need is to flop in this business."
Mel hugs her best friend from behind.
"Loren you need a make-over! You need to change your hair color and add a more make-up to your face, because it's too pale, we're going to show Eddie and Karina what you're capable off!"
