Chapter 4 – Drama begins
I turned around and left a whole bunch of people surprised as hell standing there staring at us in awe. We walked out to my car escorted by the securities. They made us way through the sea of paparazzi's, which were going nuts as soon as they saw me with Loren. Cameras and microphones were swinging in front of us, but I eventually managed to reach my car and placed Loren on the passenger's seat. I buckled up her seat belt and then walked to the driver side and hopped into the car. I drove off and made my way back to my penthouse. After 10 minutes of driving we finally arrived and I parked the car in front of the building. I stepped out of the car and jogged over to the other side to open the door for Loren. When I opened the door, she didn't move and I got a little worried. I bent down to her level to check what is going on and noticed that she's fallen asleep. As I picked her up bridal style, a sweet smile appeared on my face. She still looks so peaceful in her sleep after everything she's been through. I walked into the building with her in my arms and when Jeffrey caught a sight of us he instantly greeted us. I think he noticed Loren's puffy eyes because his warm expression turned into a worried one. I simply let him know everything's OK by nodding and he opened the elevator for us. I stepped in and we went upstairs to my apartment. After making sure to close the door I walked upstairs to my room and put Loren down on my bed. I cover her up with the blanket and placing a small kiss on her forehead I grabbed my PJ's from my closet and went back down to crash on the couch.
Next morning
It's 8 am right now and I'm in the kitchen trying to make some breakfast, but unfortunately with not so much luck. I've never been good at cooking, but I wanted to try it because I really want to cheer Loren up. As I was trying to flip the pancake I heard her sweet voice coming from behind me. I jumped a little bit, because I hadn't noticed her coming into the kitchen.
Loren: Eddie? What am I doing here?
Eddie: Good morning sunshine!
Loren: Sorry! Good morning to you too! I just don't really remember a lot after meeting your parents.
Eddie: No need to apologize. Do you want me ehh to tell you what happened?
Loren: Yes, please.
Eddie: After I introduced you to my parents, they asked how you knew them and you answered that you and you parents were fans. That was when you started shaking and tears were streaming down on your face. All of sudden you ran away and I went after you. I eventually found you sobbing and after a few minutes of begging you finally told me what was the problem – Trying to change the subject. - Well after that I brought you here to have talk, but you fell asleep in the meantime and I didn't want to wake you up.
Loren: Thanks Eddie! It's really sweet of you.
Eddie: So I've made some breakfast. Do you wanna join me?
Loren: Yes. That'd be nice.
Eddie: But before we start, so you can't say you haven't been warned… I'm not the best cook.
Loren: Neither am I.
Eddie's lips turned into a smile and they started off eating. They had a really nice time just talking and enjoying each other's company. When they were done together they cleared the table and washed the dishes. Now they're sitting on the couch in the living room.
Loren: Eddie?
Eddie: Yeah?
Loren: Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done. During these two days I've had a really nice time and I owe you that.
Eddie: You don't owe me anything. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Loren: But I think I should probably get going now. I haven't talked to my friends in two days I'm sure they are worried sick about me. – She said standing up from the sofa.
Eddie: OK.
Loren: Thank you again for everything. You were really nice and I just wanna say this because I know after I leave this room you're gonna forget about me… I've had the best time of my life with you and thank you for showing me how it is to be in your world. It was amazing.
Eddie: Loren, I'm not gonna forget about you. – He stood up as well.
Loren: Haha. You're Eddie Duran and I'm just an ordinary girl from the Valley. Why would you remember me?
Eddie: You're far from ordinary. Loren, you are beautiful, funny, smart and most importantly you're down-the-earth. And yes I am Eddie Duran, but I'm just Eddie to you a normal guy who loves making music. A normal guy who's gonna give you his number and if you ever wanna talk or just hang out, don't hesitate to call me!
Loren laughed and after exchanging numbers she realized she doesn't have a car. She wanted to call a cab, but Eddie insisted on giving her a lift. He went up to his room to change and couple of minutes later they took off.
Sanders' place
Eddie pulled up to the driveway and before getting out they said goodbye to each other and Loren gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek. She stepped out and after making sure Loren got home safely Eddie drove off.
She walked up to the front door and simply knocked. After the door was opened she was pulled into a hug instantly and she hasn't even had time for checking who it was.
Mel: Loren where the hell have you been? I've been calling and we all worried sick about you.
Loren: I'm sorry Mel, but I needed to clear my head.
Mel: Where did you spend the nights?
Loren: At a friend's.
Mel: Okaay. Come on in! Moms are gonna be so happy to see you.
They sure were. After questioning Loren about what she has been doing in these last two days they let her go, she decided to go back to her old house. She changed into clean clothes and she and Mel set off.
Mel: So what is going to happen now with the house? – She asked entering the place.
Loren: I wanna sale it. – She said sitting down on the couch.
Mel: Are you sure?
Loren: Yes, I'm 100% sure Mel.
Mel: It's pretty clear that you can't make such a big decision when you're feeling like this. You don't have to give an answer Loren. It can wait.
Loren: Feeling like what Mel? I lost my father in a young age. My mom died two days ago… - She wasn't able anymore to hold back the tears and they started slowly flowing down on her cheeks. - Every inches of this house is filled with the memories of the people that I loved that have died, so I'm sure as hell not to spend any more minute of my life here.
Loren got up from where she was sitting and ran out of the room shutting the door behind her. It took a few minutes to Mel to take it all in and move after Loren left, but she eventually did and rushed out of the house to find her. After taking a look around she stepped down from the porch and started searching for her. 10 minutes have passed and Mel still had nothing. She's looked the whole vicinity for Loren but she couldn't find her. When she was about to give up she noticed a person sitting on a branch of the big tree behind Loren's house. She quickly walked ever there and called after Loren. As she heard Mel's voice she clenched and jumped down. She wanted to run away again but this time she got stopped by Mel taking a hold on her arm.
Mel: Loren please stop! I am sorry that I said those things OK, but please just stay! Don't leave again please!
Loren: What for Mel? Because last time I checked there's nothing left for me here anymore.
Mel: No, that is not true! You have me; you have Phil and everyone from the Sanders family to get your back. We will never leave you and I don't care whatever gets in the way we will struggle with it together.
Loren: You can't promise that.
Mel: Yes, I can. Loren look at me! I will always be there by your side! You can come to me whenever you wanna talk or just feeling lonely. I don't care if it will be 2 in the morning I will drop everything and rush over here OK?
Loren: OK.
Mel: You're not gonna be able to get rid of me even if you want me to.
Loren: I would never want that. – She said finally smiling.
Mel: Let's get out of here.
Together they walked back to Loren's car and they drove back to Mel's place. Mel knew that even if Loren is smiling now she's still hurting and she has to do something about it. Several thoughts of a way to distract floated into her mind, but she got interrupted by Loren parking the car on the driveway. They walked upstairs to Melissa's room without anyone noticing their presences being there. After shutting the door behind her Mel lied down next to Loren on the bed.
Loren: What do you wanna do?
Mel: We can do anything you want.
Loren: Anything I want?
Mel: Yes
Loren: I wanna go out! – She said sitting up straight as an excited look spread over her face.
Mel: What?! – She asked shocked as hell. – Loren do you think it's a good idea?
Loren: Mel, you said we can do whatever I want and I want this, so let's put on something hot on and go hit the night.
Loren said standing up from the bed and hectically jumped over to the closet. Mel on the other hand wasn't really excited about this. Her worries only grew when she saw how excited Loren's became. Saying no to her wasn't a good idea at the moment so the only thing she could do was going with her, but she knew if this goes any further then Loren will fall into a hole and she's not gonna be able to climb out.
Eddie's place
Eddie is just sitting on the couch trying to take in everything what has happened in these last two days. He so wanted to talk to Loren about what'd happened, but he knew that he just can't push her into talking. If she doesn't wanna talk, then she won't.
His thinking's got interrupted when Ian came into the house without even knocking.
Ian: Hey mate!
Eddie: Have you ever heard of knocking?
Ian: Have you ever heard of locking your door?
Eddie: What are you doing here?
Ian: I just came to visit my best friend. So what's going on? Why are sitting here, looking like you've been drugged.
Eddie: I'm just relaxing Ian. You know some people do things like this.
Ian: Well I don't. What's the plan for tonight?
Eddie: Nothing.
Ian: Great! I've made your plan. We're going out go and get ready!
Eddie: No, Ian! I don't wanna go out.
Ian: Oh come on! Just stop acting so responsible. You're young; you need to enjoy your life.
Eddie: Fine…
He got up from the couch and walking up to his room he started getting ready. He took a quick shower and put on grey button-up shirt with white jeans and a leather jacket. (Cody Longo's outfit from 2012's KCA) He made sure his hair looks perfect and then went back downstairs. Meanwhile Ian called a cab and by the time Eddie got ready it's arrived and was waiting for them to take them to the club. The taxi drove them to the club. They got out and they walked into the building only to find the most shocking thing Eddie has ever seen.
