Loren's P.O.V
In the house of mirrors
When I got to somewhere he couldn't see me I stepped behind a mirror, a secret spot I only know about. It's a secret because when you step from behind it, it looks like you're on every mirror.
Eddie: Where did she go?
When I step out, he smirks and starts to talk.
Loren: Clueless to where I am?
Eddie: Nope.
Loren: (smiling) Okay!
Eddie: So I see you love to go on adventures.
Loren: Nahh, adventures are over rated!
Eddie: You know I can find you just like that, right?
Loren: Oh, so you're a detective now?
Eddie: (smirking) Nope, still a rock star!
Loren: (rolling my eyes) and still clueless.
I take a few steps back when he ventured off to find me. When I turn around, we come face-to-face for the first time. Arms crossed and a sly smile on his face. My breathing hitched, and I couldn't move.
Eddie: Told you I was a detective!
Loren: (sarcastically) yeah, and you're superman too.
Eddie: You catch on fast.
I roll my eyes and sit on the floor thinking "why is he even talking to me, I'm from the valley, he's a rock star, nobody like him likes valley girls" my thoughts get interrupted by Eddie sitting beside me.
Eddie: What's wrong?
I bite my lip and look up at Eddie. I look back down and scrunch my nose trying to figure out an answer to his question. When I finally come up with an answer I take a deep breath and start talking.
Loren: Why?
Eddie: Why what?
Loren: (looking up) Why are you still here, still trying to get my attention, when I'm not giving it to you?
Eddie: (smiling) I'm the curious type of guy.
Loren: (laughing) why?
Eddie: When I put my mind to something, I put in a lot of effort.
Loren: (looking up) Why me?
Eddie: (smiling) why did I go for you instead of the other two?
Loren: (blushing) yes.
Eddie: Because you're different.
Loren: Strangely different.
Eddie: (eyebrows pressed together) who thinks you're strange?
Loren: I do.
Eddie: Why?
Loren: Did you see those two out there?
Eddie: Yea.
Loren: They're perfect, unlike me the awkward one.
Eddie: You're not awkward
Loren: (laughing bitterly) yes I am, when I get in front of a class I freeze up, I have to put up this tough hard ass exterior to faze people of who I really am, I'm the shiest girl you've ever met, if you get to know me.
Eddie: That's not the whole story, is it?
Loren: What do you mean?
He looked down at our hands that were a few centimeters apart. He began to slide one of his hands closer to mine until he interlaced my hand into his. He looked up and started to speak.
Eddie: (sincerity in his voice and eyes) your eyes speak louder than you're words.
Loren: How do you know?
Eddie: (sarcastically) I have a sixth sense.
Loren: (laughing) I'm being serious.
Eddie: (sighing) I guess I got it from my mom. Whenever something bad would happen, I would put on a fake smile so she wouldn't worry, but she always saw right through it, that's how I am.
Loren: What about when Chloe put on a fake smile?
Eddie: I guess I couldn't tell with lying- cheating-gold diggers.
Loren: Ha!
Eddie: (laughing) But on a serious note, (seriously) what do you not like about yourself?
Loren: It's not like I don't like myself, I just don't believe.
Eddie: Believe in what?
Loren: (taking a deep breath) I don't believe in the stuff people tell me, like my mom and Mel for example, they tell me every day that I'm beautiful and my reply back is that they're my family, they have to say stuff like that to make me happy .
Eddie: (curiously) why don't you think you're beautiful?
Loren: (laughing bitterly) look at me, and look at Mel and Aid. They have a natural beauty I wish I had, everyone looks at them like they're a priceless jewel, don't get me wrong I'm not jealous, I just want someone to look at me like they look at them. Like my dad used to look at my mom, (whispering) before he left.
Eddie: (slowly) what happened to your dad?
Loren: (shakily) when I was four, my dad decided that he didn't want to be a dad anymore. So on the day he left he took me to go see a meteor shower, and promised he'll stay here forever. That promised was broken when he and my mom got in a fight. He, as always, got mad and left to get cigarettes, (bitterly) the funny thing is he didn't even smoke. (Sadly) Because of him, I can't really enjoy life because; I think it might be taken away from me, in an instant. I don't think I'm beautiful because I'm just to scared believe in it, if I put my belief in something it will go away, just like my dad.
When I told Eddie that story, I was surprised. I felt comfortable enough around him, even though I just met him. He makes me feel safe, something I haven't felt since my dad left. When I look in his eyes all I see is care, even though he just met me. I feel this connection with him that I've never had with anyone, not even my mom, it's weird.
Eddie: I'm sorry.
Loren: It's fine. It's just hard sometimes to not have a strong feeling toward yourself. So what's your story?
Eddie: Well after my mom died, it's been a hell hole with love for me. My mom's not here to give me these motivational speaks about how everything's goanna be fine because it's just a bump in the road. Without her here I'm stuck and have nowhere to go, yes I have my dad but he doesn't carry a mother's love, hope, and motivational pep talks. (Looking up) it's hard you know, not having her here is like not having anything, it gets lonely.
Before my brain could catch up with my actions I went over and hugged Eddie, and when I realized what I did I started to pull back slowly, but Eddie held me tighter than before. So we stayed like that for a few minutes before we both pulled away.
Eddie: So you want to go back, because I'm pretty sure everyone's going crazy looking for us.
Loren: (getting up) yeah, let's go.
Eddie: Okay. Oh let me see your phone.
Loren: Why?
Eddie: So I can have your number.
Loren: Ok.
I handed him my phone and he handed me his. We started walking and he began to talk.
Eddie: You know you don't know one thing about me.
Loren: (confused) and what is that?
Eddie: You'll find out.
While we were walking, in a sudden movement, Eddie had me pinned up against a mirror. I gasped at how close our faces were.
Eddie: See I-
Mel: Oh…My…God!
Eddie and I turned our heads towards the noise. When I saw who was there, I cleared my throat and started to speak.
Loren: Well I'll be going!
As I was trying to move from Eddie, he pulled me back in and crashed his lips onto mine. At first I was shocked, and then I got into the feel of it. When I was kissing Eddie, it didn't feel the same as kissing past boyfriends. This kiss was passionate and sweet, while the others were cute. After a few minutes of making out, Eddie broke away.
Eddie: I'll call you later.
He winked at me and walked away leaving a breathless me, and shocked Mel. When I regained my breathing I stood up and walked over to Mel.
Loren: Uh…yea, we should go home.
Mel: Lo, that was H-O-T, HOT!
Loren: (blushing) yeah, it was.
Mel and I started to walk out of the house, as I was walking I caught a glimpse of Eddie and his friends. A devious smile formed on my face I turned to Mel and Aid.
Loren: I'll be back.
Mel and Aid give me confused looks as I back away towards Eddie and the boys. As I get up to them one of them sees me and was about to tell Eddie. I stopped him and turned Eddie around myself. I crashed his lips onto mine. They moved feverishly against each other. I broke the kiss and started to talk.
Loren: (smirking) and that's what you don't know about me.
I winked at him and walked back to Mel and Adrianna, they had shocked looks on their faces. I grabbed their hands and walked towards the car. When we got in the car I got bombarded with questions.
Mel: When did you grow a pair?
Loren: (disgusted) ewww… I didn't have any in the first place.
Adrianna: I didn't know you had it in you.
Loren: (smirking) everybody has a dark side. (A/N Kelly Clarkson song)
I laughed at their shocked faces. I started the car and drove home. Mel and Aid want to spend the night to try to get the juicy details. Ha! They won't get anything out of me. Or will they? They probably will. But while I was in the car I blocked out the constant pleading for details, my mind was only focused on Eddie.
Eddie's P.O.V
When I was with Loren I felt protected, like I could tell her my life story and she wouldn't judge me. When I was with Chloe, I never told her stuff like I told Loren today. We talked, and in that time I came up with a way to kiss her. She was surprised as I was at how much passion was in that one kiss. Yes my kissed I forced on her was good, but hers was amazing. It had fire and passion. That kissed she shared with me was something I never experienced. When she broke away I was breathless and stunned she had that much of a dark side in her. When she walked away far enough so she didn't hear us Ian started to talk.
Ian: Dude that was freaking hot!
Tyler: Damn, I wish Aid would've kissed me.
Ian: Like she would ever kiss you.
Tyler: Whatever. So Eddie how was it.
I was still shocked speechless about the kiss.
Ian: Eddie, mate. You okay?
I finally snapped back to reality at Ian yelling my name.
Eddie: Uh, yeah we should go.
Tyler: (whispering) I think she gave him a you-know-what.
Eddie: (glaring at Tyler) shut up!
Tyler: Bro, I'm just saying.
Ian: We should go Eddie over here needs a shower.
I rolled my eyes and walked past them to the car. While I was in the car all I could think about was Loren. Will I ever see her again? Will we ever become a thing? I hope so, I really like her.
Loren's P.O.V
Next Day
Today was hectic. I woke up late and didn't have time to put on any makeup. I wore a pink floral high low sun dress with tan peep toe wedges. I curled my hair and put it in a waterfall braid. The only makeup I put on is some baby lips, lip balm. I ate a quick breakfast which had strawberries and waffles. It was great while it lasted. I got up went back to my room to get my book bag while my mom answered the door for Mel, or I thought it was Mel. When I got to the door I had a shocked expression on my face to who it was.
Loren: Eddie what are you-
I got cut off by Eddie pushing me on the wall and we started to kiss after about a minute we heard someone clear their throat. We broke away quickly at the sight of my mom, Mel, Aid, Ian, and Tyler starring at us. Mel was the first to speak. I wish I could duct tape her mouth.
Mel: Would you guys stop swallowing each other we need to go.
Loren: Seriously?
Mel: Yes.
Loren: (rolling my eyes) fine let's- (looking at Eddie) how do you know where I live and what are you doing here?
Eddie: Mel told us and we're taking you guys to school.
Loren: What!
Ian: We're not just taking you to school.
Tyler: We're going with you.
The girls: (unison) WHAT!
Till next time. Peace
