PREVIOUSLY~
Mel: (smirking) Are you sure? I mean the messed up hair and the car parked in the drive way kind of tells me that I'm interrupting something big.
Before Nora could say anything someone came behind me. Eddie. OMG its like god listened to my pleadings. When he came up to us he said something that literally made me drop my mouth to the floor. And BOOM that's when I got the picture.
Eddie: Hey Mel. Hey Nora, why is my dad here?
These Tate women… got to love them.
Nora's POV:
OMG! I'm standing here like an idiot, not knowing what to say. What can I say? "Oh nothing Max and I were just making out, nothing big". I'm pretty sure that Mel knows by now what's going on. I can see it on her face. Eddie though is completely clueless, thankfully. Eddie? What is Eddie doing here? I thought he was gone for a few weeks, he wasn't supposed to be back for a few more days. Come on Nora, say something.
Nora: (nervously) Eddie? What are you doing here?
Eddie: I just came here to see Loren. Is she here?
Nora: Umm no. She's not
Eddie: Oh, is she working today?
Nora: No. She's not here at all. She's been gone for a few weeks now.
Mel: Okay, well why don't we all go inside and discuss everything then.
Oh god, I didn't notice we were still outside. I feel so stupid. I step aside to let both Mel and Eddie in. I don't know how I'm going to tell Eddie that Loren left because of him. I mean, should I tell him? I hope Mel has something in mind because I surely don't. MAX. I totally forgot about him!
Eddie: Pop, what are you doing here?
Max's POV:
Oh crap! I'm busted. How the heck am I supposed to tell Eddie that I've been seeing Nora for a few days now? Will he be upset about it? Will he be cool with it? I'm standing here like an idiot. Come on Max say something.
Max: Umm I just came to see how Nora was doing, you know since Loren's been gone for a few weeks.
Eddie: Right..! Is that why half of your shirt is unbuttoned?
Mel: (laughing) BUSTED!
Nora: Mel! Stop it.
Oh god could this get more awkward!
Max: (nervously) Hey Mel!
Mel: (smirking) Hey Max!
Eddie: So? Are you going to tell me what's going on here or do you want me to tell you?
Max: Look Eddie, I can explain…
Eddie: (cut me off) Hey its ok dad. I don't mind at all. It's your life and you can be with whoever you want. Mom would've wanted you to be happy, and I'm not going stand in your way. I'm glad its Nora though.
Nora: Thank you Eddie, that means a lot. And I just want you to know that I will never try to replace your mother. I could never do that.
Eddie: It's ok, Nora. I know you would never try to do that. And I'm sure my mom approves of you.
Max: (pulled him into a hug) I love you son.
Eddie: Love you too Pops.
Mel's POV:
AWW this is too much cuteness. Eddie is such a sweet guy, now I know where he gets it from. But I totally fell awkward now, which is why I need to make my presence known.
Mel: So Eddie. Why don't you tell us why you came?
Eddie: (turning towards me) Oh yeah. I actually came to see Loren. I really need to talk to her.
Mel: Well you're not gonna find her here.
Eddie: Oh well, where can I find her? I tried calling her but it sends me straight to voicemail.
~Loren's Cabin~
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts.
What am I going to do? Is this all worth it? I hate feeling pain. I promised myself that I wouldn't let myself fall for a guy. That I would always protect myself from another heartbreak. I've built too many walls around my heart. And Eddie just knocked them down. I mean seriously. Do I have a sign on my forehead that say "I'm a fool"? And now here I am. Confused as hell, writing a song like a lovesick girl. I was just the rebound. I should've known. This was all too good to be true. But that stops now. I will not let Eddie or anybody else walk all over me. I've got so much going for me right now. This is a new beginning for me; I will not be the naïve girl I've always been. I will focus on my career and school. NO boy drama. Just me, myself and I.
WOW I didn't expect that myself when I was writing it. Its like the words wrote themselves. I tried to make it as long as I could but I'm still trying to fit all the pieces together on how to continue this story because as you all probably know this story was originally written by DarkHeartRocker13... Anyways.. what do you guys think about Loren's new attitude? What will Eddie do?... Thank you guys for the great comments I hope you guys like this chapter.. R&R!
