Just Before:

Part 3

Welcome back! Sorry I couldn't post yesterday and sorry its soooo late tonight. I had my fist varsity start yesterday, so today practice went over for because I had to work on more things with varsity! Almost done with the past, the present and the rest of my story will begin in Chapter 4. I can't wait for you all to see it! I think it's pretty good so yeah uhhh just please keep reviewing and following. I love hearing what you guys think and love.

Dedication to: Everyone who's read so far. I know it's not that good right now, but I promise it will get better. Just please keep reviewing and reading. Love ya

Where we left off…

Lia: This guy right here, ughh I swear! "What about me?"

Eddie: Sure not she wants to think about herself. I think for a minute and grab a pen and paper. I begin writing her a not to give to Jake if I don't come back. "Look, if I don't come back, if anything happens to me for whatever reasons…go to this address. Tell the guy who you are, what you did, and what you want, and he'll take care of you. But don't worry, okay? I'll be back." I hand her the note and walk out the door. But before I could leave Lia throws me her keys.

Time to finally see MY GIRL…

Eddie: I'm headed to one of our spot because I knew Loren wouldn't resist once she read my note. We are the only two who knows that we went here before our first kiss (beside Pops and Nora), so she couldn't think it was a fake like Lia said! But what Lia said is really getting to me. When I arrive to our spot I didn't see Lo just yet. Man, I hope the headlights didn't scare her off. I drive right up to where we were the first time we were at Mulholland. Being here brought back the memory of being here. We talked for hours after my birthday dinner. I never wanted to leave and when I didn't kiss her then I knew it had to be soon. But like I told my Dad, I was just seeing were the night took us and then I just kissed her. I couldn't help myself; she was so beautiful and so unlike Chloe. She even stood up for herself in front of her Mom and Pops and Chloe. Chloe tried to ruin our night, but like me and Loren often say nothing can ruin our night if we are together. I was just sitting in the car thinking and realized I needed to get out and find my soul mate! I shut the car door quietly, walk in front of the car and look on the Hollywood side first and then over to the Valley side. Still no Loren

Limo ride turned to no New York…

Loren: I'm sitting here in the limo after my first concert just thinking about the things I did. Did I mess up? Did people even like my stuff? Were they just cheering because they felt bad for me? Is this night even real? I'm so zoned out, I mean I hear my Mom and Kelly mumbling on about something but I could care less about their conversation. Right now I only care about how Eddie was there. He was really there, but why didn't he stay? We could've left together and no one would ever have to know. I love him so much that if he called right now and said for me to meet him somewhere I would leave in a heartbeat, screw NYC and my career all that matters is Eddie. All the sudden my Mom taps my arm breaking my thoughts. "Yeah, yeah I heard that. That-that's great." I put a fake smile on my face as my mom begins to ask questions.

Nora: I need to stop Loren from thinking so much. She needs to be excited and fulfilled not worried and scared! "Are- are you worried about the show in New York?" I knew she would lie to me, but this would keep Kelly off her back, for now.

Loren: Really Mom! Okay for real you know what imp thinking about. Just leave me to my thoughts, please? "No, no."

Nora: Told you she would lie! "Okay. Do you need anything?"

Loren: Alright Mom hop off me! "No. This it everything I ever wanted."

Kelly: "Well, I think you should keep that Eddie song on the set list permanently. It was huge!"

Nora: "He will love that."

Loren: Okay? Really, who are you all to know what he will love. Oh Eddie, please come back to me I need you. Then this limo ride wouldn't be so awkward. It would be me and you talking and kissing, not me my Mom and Kelly. I need to get out here and think! I can't go to NYC right now! It's nowhere near as important as you! "Stop the car! Stop the car!" I know where imp going. I need to think and remember things…

This is too weird…

Jake: I can't go home to the place the reminds me of Traci the most. I've got to steer clear of that place. The only way I will go back is if it's back with Traci. I knew things were bad and that I messed up, but I didn't think she would leave me and L.A. But I guess this isn't her fault one bit. It's all my fault! I screwed up when she went to Chicago the first time and I screwed up when she kicked me out too! How could I do such horrible things to the woman I love? I'm such an idiot! Oh god, but what about Traci. I'm too busy thinking of myself right now. I left her with a lot to think about on a long ass plane ride. She's probably thinking about how she broke my heart, but in all actuality I broke hers. I need to call her! "It's me. Uhhh, I was just at the office, looking at our, uhhh, honeymoon photo. Umm, listen, I hope you- I hope you have a good flight, and make sure you tell everyone in your family I said hi, and-and give your Mom a big kiss for me. And-and Traci, I'm-I'm gonna be alright." I wanted to cry and tell her how bad I missed her and needed her and tell her I love her, but I just couldn't do that. I was calling to make her feel better not myself!

Yes?...

Phil: At the table just sitting here doing my homework, yes I said doing my homework. Ughh God I hate school! I stop for a minute to think about my life. I put my head in my folded hands and just think. But I thoughts are interrupted when Aid walks in and says, "Yes." That's it, that's all she said. I was so dumbfounded. What the hell was she talking about? I laughed at myself though and responded to her, "Yes what?"

Aid: Could my future husband be this stupid? What were we just talking about. I know he has a lot on his mind, but come on this was way too important to forget! "Yes, I will marry you."

Phil: How could I be so dumb and forget. I laughed again, but this time at both of us. "I haven't asked yet."

Aid: "I know, but you will, and that'll be my answer." That's all I needed to say, I was gonna let Phil get back to his yucky homework. I went by hind him and kissed him on the cheek and left to go back to his room.

Why aren't you home? Why aren't you on the way to NYC?...

Kelly: I didn't know why Loren wanted to stop the car, but I always heard that the client was always right so I went to the office to make other plans. I walked in on the phone trying to charter a plane to NYC for tomorrow morning and I seen Jake just sitting there looking sad so I hung up. "What are you doing here? I thought you were tired and gonna go home."

Jake: Of course Kelly walks in at another one of my low moments. I thought she was going to be gone for a couple days. "I am home. What about you? Aren't you supposed to be on a plane headed east?"

Kelly: "Yeah, change of plans. We're leaving tomorrow."

Jake: "Why?" Really, I needed a damn night to myself! Away from everyone, now what am I going to do?

Kelly: "I don't know. But the clients always right, right?"

Jake: "She didn't faint, did she?"

Kelly: "My girl? Did you see her tonight? Jake, she's a star."

Jake: "Yeah, she was good. She was really good." That's all I wanted to say for the rest of the night, but the Kelly started asking more questions about why I was late n stuff. It was time for a quick little shot. I also decided I should tell Kelly Traci left me. Kelly knew everything and if she didn't she would find out, so best I tell her now.

Kelly: As soon as Jake told me Traci left my heart stared beating fast. I knew one of those fast beats were because I thought maybe Jake and I would have another loving moment, but the rest were for Traci. Was her dad okay? Jake responded with a no and my heart literally skipped a beat. She left him? Now he is really fair game for me. Thank you Jesus!

Jake: I seen Kelly's face light up and for the first time I looked at her differently. She was beautiful and so unique; it was actually starting to grow on me. I knew Kelly had a thing for me, but could we be a thing? A real thing, along lasting thing? After thinking about this I realized that anything was possible. I needed to tell Kelly the whole story. But before I could get to storytelling she was asking my another question.

Kelly: "So, now what?" I wanted to know what was next for him, and if I would be on his "up-next" list. Could Jake ever see us together? Could he ever get Traci out of his mind? I know she was my BFF, but all that changed when she took the man I loved. I loved him first and she just didn't know it yet. I was taking my time with Jake in college, but I just wound up setting him and Traci up to be together. I never did really forgive myself for that one.

Jake: "I don't know, you know? I'm a talent manager whose client is a fugitive from the law, my wife left me, and I'm defiantly too old to be drafted by the Lakers." I had to try and make the tension in the room go away, I didn't need any more drama tonight.

Kelly: Still no list, damn-it! "Yupp, things have defiantly been better for you."

Jake: "But uhhh, I'll be okay. You know? I'll find love again, find another great client. I'll be okay. What about you, Kel?"

Kelly: My hand started shaking when he said love. I was going to be his new love, whether he knew it or not! "I'm just gonna work really hard so that I can get my name on the door." By my name I meant him changing the door to say "Jake & Kelly Madsen". But how knows if he caught my drift. But then Jake said, "Yeah, someday." He said it with a smirk on his face and a look in his eye that let me know he knew where I was going.

One more night together…

Nora: As soon as Loren said to stop the car I was scared. I didn't wanna leave her, but she said she had some thinking to do and needed to go to one of her places. Which place was it? I don't know. She had a few. So I let my daughter leave to go think and headed to Max's. I needed to tell him what happened and see what he thought. But I also wanted to see him again. "She just kept saying, "Stop the car, stop the car."

Max: "Do you think maybe she got nervous about playing the festival in New York?" I was concerned, but wasn't surprised. I was also glad that I got to have one more night with Nora before she left for a few days. Or at least that she knew of. I'm planning on going to NY to see Loren play.

Nora: Max's question was good, but there was just no way. "No. No, no, no. It wasn't stage fright. I mean, I know that look. This was-this was something different."

Max: "You don't think…" Before I could finish Nora was cutting me off. Which meant this was important, because she usually let me finish my sentences and then would think about it before she said anything else.

Nora: "What?"

Max: "Well, you don't think Eddie got in touch with her somehow?"

Nora: "On the night of her concert?"

Max: "I don't know. Remember, she stopped right in the middle of a song, so maybe Eddie was sending her a message or maybe she saw him."

Nora: "I think that was more about her father showing up." I was really concerned, even more than I already was. I needed some air. I decided to walk out onto Max's balcony and he followed me, wanting to know more. "I mean, I know it's really enticing to think that Eddie was at the show, but there was so much security."

Max: "I know. It was just a nice idea to think of him there, you know?" Nora was being so calm and collected in this hell hole of a life we were going through right now. I didn't know how she did it. "How do you do that? That-that, ground me in one sentence and give me hope in the other one?" I truly wanted to know how, so that I could use it with Eddie, when he came back. You know? Ever since his Mom died he has come to me with all his questions. And sometimes I just don't know how to answer him. She laughed me off and told me she took a class on it once. Another thing she was good at, lightening the mood. I was so in love with her right now I wanted to ask her one of the most important things, ever! "Hey." I said just to get her attention back on me. "I'm so happy you're in my life. I would love for you to move in with me."

Nora: Oh my god! Max just asked me to move in with him. I wasn't sure if I heard is words correctly so I laughed a little. He just looked at me waiting for an answer. Right then, I knew I heard correctly. I kissed him before I could give him an answer just to get him wondering. "Oh, Max, I can't live above a bar." I was just teasing but then Max did the unexpected. He told me he would move in with me! He said, and I quote "I would do anything for you."

Am I dreaming?...

Eddie: I searched Mulholland for a good 10 minutes before I realized Loren wasn't coming. Maybe she didn't get my note. I was so devastated! I needed to see MY GIRL and tell her how much I love her and let her know that I didn't push Chloe of my Dads terrace. But mostly I just wanted to hold her and tell her I loved her. I got into the car and yet again started thinking that I should have listened to Lia, but this was my only chance to see her so I had to try my best. I started the car with my head down, disappointed in myself for not figuring out another way to see the woman I love. As I began to look up I seen something moving. I was so close to putting the car in drive and jut be on my way, but I realized it was exactly what I had been waiting for.

Loren: I didn't know why I came here. But I knew it was for a reason. I guess this was one of the places I felt close to Eddie and since our other spot was too far and this one gave my inspiration I went here. I parked my car at the bottom of the hill and ran up. I had so much energy, but mostly anger that I needed to get out. Almost to the top of the hill I decided to slow down. I walked real close to the bushes when I seen headlights. Maybe someone was up here? I didn't want to interrupt. But all I seen was a car and someone just sitting there. I couldn't make out if it was a girl or a boy, but I just stared. Maybe it was him? Maybe he felt the same thing I did and came here?

Eddie: Was I dreaming? Is this my imagination being way too vivid? It can't be her, but it has to be? She had to of gotten my note and came! As this figure got closer I could tell it was a girl who was staring dead at me. It had to be her! I focused my eyes more and I instantly knew it was MY GIRL! Her smile grew so big, the biggest vie ever seen it, when she realized who it was. I could tell we were both shocked. But it only took us a second to realize this was real life and we went running for each other. I through my hands back to get as much muscle as I could, since I was still weak from the accident, and picked her up. I held her so tight in my arms and swung her around once as are lips met for the first time in what seemed like years. I put her down her down and she was just going crazy.

Loren: "Is it you? Is it really you?" There was no way this was real life. Too much bad has happened to me in the last few days for this to be real. But when I thought about it, it had to be him. He spelt like him, felt like him, and kissed me like him. It was him!

Eddie: "It is. I knew you would come. I knew it. I knew it. I knew." I was so out of breath from running to Loren, but I had to keep kissing her. I didn't care if I died right there from not being able to breath, at least I would be with her, the woman I love, the woman I'm going to marry.

Loren: "Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?" This felt like the most really dream ever. I had to ask just to make sure. But when Eddie kissed me again and again I knew this was real!

"Where were you? Why couldn't you tell me anything that happened?"

Eddie: "Shh, stop. I don't wanna talk about any of that, okay? I just wanna hold you." I kissed her again. Every kiss, in this moment right here, had so much love in passion in it. They all said "I love and missed you so God damn much". "You worried me, you know? I was here waiting. I started to think that you didn't get my note, and I almost left."

Loren: "What note?" What they hell was this boy talking about?

Eddie: Did she really not know? "I sent a note for you backstage."

Loren: "You were at the concert?"

Eddie: "Of course I was at the concert."

Loren: I smiled so big and just kept talking. "But I didn't get a note." Where was this note he was talking about? Whatever, I'll have plenty of time to find out later, now that he's back home to me.

Eddie: If she didn't get my note then how did she know to come here? "What are you doing here?"

Loren: "I don't know. I don't know. I was in the limo with my Mom and Kelly on the way to the airport. And all of a sudden, I told the driver to stop."

Eddie: "How did you know I was here?"

Loren: "I can't explain it. I just-I got this feeling. I felt you, and I just-I knew I had to come here. It was like how I felt you at the concert." Even though he really was there, I just thought it was a feeling.

Eddie: Damn this girl was good, I love her! "You were so great. You were sooo great."

Loren: "I can't believe you went there. There were so many cops. It was so risky!"

Eddie: "It was worth the risk. I loved seeing you up on that stage, and you were so good. You were so good."

Loren: "Really?"

Eddie: "Just like I knew you would be. There's no turning back. MY GIRL'S a star."

Loren: "It doesn't matter. Not if you're not with me."

Eddie: "Uh-uh, this is all gonna get worked out, okay? But you listen to me. I didn't do that, okay? I did not push her off that terrace." I had to make sure I told her that even though I knew she already knew. She told my exactly what I expected, that she knew. "Yeah, but a lot of people think I did, and so I have to stay away, just until this all gets sorted out."

Loren: "I'm coming with you." There's was no way I was gonna lose him again.

Eddie: "No, no, no, no. Listen to me. Hey. You have things to do."

Loren: "None of that matters."

Eddie: "You just started your career, okay? I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna be fine."

Loren: "I don't care about my career, about any of that. I just care about you."

Eddie: "I know, I know." She was so sweet and caring and I absolutely adored her, and what better time to tell her than right now. I bent down a little so I could look directly into her eyes and said the 3 most meaningful words in the world. "I love you."

Loren: OMFG! He said it! But did he really mean it? Or was it just a spur of the moment type thing? But who cares he said it and that's all that mattered. "I love you too. Don't ever leave me."

Eddie: I seen a bit of confusion in her eyes when I said those words, but she said them to. That's all that mattered. We could talk about it later. I leaned into kiss her as a cloud of smoke came upon us and I realized what it was and that I needed to tell her one last thing, to give reassurance. "Never, babe" This was another way to show her that she was mine, I had never called her babe before. Our moment was about to be ruin, but I didn't care I was gonna kiss her till they talked me and put me in cuffs. Loren's got wider as she too realized what was shinning on us, but I kissed her anyways.

Phil at the library?...

Mel: Adam and I were just getting home from Lo's concert, which was amazing I might add, and we walked into the kitchen and seen something way to out of the ordinary. Phil and Adriana, doing homework! "You're right Adam, I might've made a wrong turn because somehow, we ended up at the library."

Phil: Such a smartass. "Good evening, kids. It's crunch time. Gotta get those grades up so we can get that diploma. I'd really like to be a high school graduate before I go to prison."

Mel: "Oh yeah, so you can just show your diploma to all your new friends there."

Adam: "Any news?"

Lisa: "Phil get in here!"

Phil: "That sounds like news." I said answering Adams question. I just got super nervous this could be the make or break moment we've all been waiting for. We all got up and walked into the living room. My Dad stuck is finger out for us to wait a minute as we heard the tail end of his conversation with my lawyer.

Gus: "They found her."

Aid: "Ellie?"

Gus: "Yeah she was-she was down at her sister's house in San Diego."

Phil: This means I'm free. Holy shit, I'm free! I was so excited I was getting hugs from everyone, but I noticed Aid had walked away. I walked over to her to make sure she was okay. I guess it hit her pretty hard, finding out some girl beat her Dad over the head with a flashlight and left him there to die. It would suck to here that kind of news. I was talking to Aid when my Mom said, "Phil, isn't there something you want to ask Adriana?" Thanks mom for bringing it up! This was the perfect time to ask. I took Aid's hand as I got down on one knee. "Adriana, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you-I don't have a ring!" I started looking around like I was just gonna find a spare engagement ring lying there. Shit! Now vie ruined everything. But then Mel stepped in and handed me a costumer ring. "Adriana, will you marry me?" I knew what her answer would be so I slid the ring on her finger just waiting to hear her say it. "Yes. Yes" Is all I heard, and all I cared about. I picked her up and swung her around and then kissed her as I set her down. Mel welcomed her to the family, which surprised the hell out of me, they hated each other. And Mom and Dad gave me hugs. And then Adam just stood there all awkwardly. He just did not fit in, at all.

Good news and bad news…

Nora: Those words, right there, were the words from, Max, a man who really loved me. I couldn't help, but love him even more. And to show it I kissed him again, with so much love and passion and happiness that it led to a make-out session. We kept are kisses together as we began moving toward his bed when my phone rang. I wanted so badly to ignore it, but what if it was Loren. I broke this kiss and answered my phone.

(PHONE CALL)

Nora: "Oh! Loren. What?" "Hold-wait, slow down, slow down, slow down." "Oh, my God, Where?" "Okay, okay, okay." Max began asking questions so I just stuck a finger out and then grabbed my purse as I was trying to listen to Loren. "Um, okay, just-just stay right there, okay? We're gonna get there as soon as we can. Just don't do anything until we get there! Okay."

(END CALL)

"Um, good news."

Max: "What happened? Wha…"

Nora: "Eddie's back in town."

Max: "Oh, my goodness. Oh, thank God. Thank God. What's the bad news?"

Nora: "I'll explain it on the way."

Cops ruin everything…

Eddie: They had to pry me off Loren because I didn't wanna let go, but I did. I knew this would happen soon, I just didn't know it was gonna ruin my moment with the love of my life. No wonder why people don't like cops, they ruin everything. Now I'm sitting in this jail cell worried about everything. Lia is probably flipping out, but I don't care. Where is Loren? What did they do with her? If they hurt her I swear they will then have a reason for putting me in jail! How am I gonna get out? Stupid Tyler is just like the cops, ruins everything. As I'm sitting here processing everything some guy in the cell decides to be a total ass. He comes over and stats whistling to my song, "Something in the Air", I wanted to just turn around and hit him. But I heard a familiar voice.

He has to stay the night?...

Loren: While I was on the phone with my mom I was following closely behind the cop cars to get to the jail. I was gonna post bail as soon as I got there! "When-when can he be released? I mean, I could post bail right now."

Detective: "No, I think the earliest he can be, uh, arraigned will be in the morning."

Loren: "He has to spend the night?" All I heard after that was yes and the Max and my mom came storming in.

Max: "Where's my son? Where's my son?" I walked straight up to the detective. I didn't care I just wanted to see Eddie.

I thought I'd never see you again…

Max: "Eddie? Eddie?"

Eddie: "Papa Max in the house. Pop!"

Max: "Oh, my god. Oh"

Eddie: "I'm okay, Pop."

Max: "I thought I'd never see you again."

Eddie: "Well, now, that's the difference. I knew I was goon see you again. Pop, I'm sorry."

Max: "No, no, no, no."

Eddie: "I'm so sorry."

Max: "You-you have nothing to be sorry for, okay?"

Eddie: Enough of the lovey-dovey stuff, where is MY LOVE at?! "Where's Loren?"

Max: "She's outside. She's waiting. She's fine."

Eddie: "No, Pop, get her out of here. I don't want her worrying about this. She's got to play that festival."

Max: "She-she will. She will, okay? Just worry about yourself right now."

Eddie: Now it's time to reassure Pops. "I didn't do it."

Max: "I know."

Eddie: "Okay? I didn't."

Max: "Of course you didn't do it. You don't have to tell me that. We're gonna get the best lawyers, I promise you."

Eddie: " I know, but it doesn't look good, Pa, okay? Chloe's not gonna back down."

Max: "Well, you saw Chloe?"

Eddie: "Yeah, in Fresno. And she's gonna stick to her story as long as Tyler's in the picture."

Who knew Eddies fate would depend on a random act from her…

Nora: "It's not your fault, honey."

Loren: "No, mom, it is. He said that they followed me to our spot." Mom started saying that Eddie was gonna get caught. "Yeah, but he got caught because of me, and now he's going to jail.

Chloe: "No, he's not!"

Detective: "Miss Carter?"

Chloe: "I'd like to recant my story so the charges can be dropped and Eddie can go free."

It's all on her…

Chloe: The Valley girl, her mom, and Max left after saying goodbye to Eddie and I told them I was going to fix everything. I sat down with detective and began telling him all about the night. How Eddie and I did fight on the Terrace, but how it was about the fake text message. I left how the part about his mom completely. I then told him about my fling with Dylan Boyd and how he was the one who pushed me because he was drunk. The detective then made me write everything out on paper. I might have accidently put in something about Eddie's mom. I was just writing so fast because I wanted to get out of there and go see Tyler. After I finished the detective told me I was free to go.

Who the hell is this beauty?...

Jake: I fell asleep in my chair in the office. I was planning on sleeping there just on the couch, but whatever. I heard a knock on the door and told that person to come in. I thought it was Steven, but in comes the beautiful girl. Maybe a little young, but man did she look good. She walked over and handed me a note. When I read the note I thought it was fake, but no one else had his hand writing. Could it really be from him? This girl began telling me her story. She stared of by telling me her name, Lia. What a beautiful name! She talked about how her and her brother, Jeremy, found Eddie by their land all banged up. And how they took care of him and that all he talked about was Loren, his family, his music, and how weird things must be for Jake. I smiled when she told me Eddie actually talked about me, I thought he would only talk about Loren. She then began telling me how Eddie and her came back to L.A. so he could see Loren's concert and how he snuck in and that he was the reason for Loren's pause. Then she said that he gave her this note to give to me when he left to go meet Loren at "one of their spots." This sounded so much like Eddie, I knew it had to be real! I was shocked that Eddie was in town, but became worried when she told me he didn't come back last night. So I called Max.

Is that your phone or mine?...

Nora: "Oh, is that you or me?" Max and I were just getting ready for Eddie's hearing when our phones started ringing. I walked over to see whose was actually ringing. "You, Oh and now me."

(MAX'S PHONE CALL)

Max: "Hey. Jake?" "Yeah, yeah, Eddie's in town." I told Jake the whole story and what was going on and then hung up.

(NORA's PHONE CALL)

Nora: "Hi, sweetie, how are you?"

Loren: "Oh, just mildly freaking out. Kelly chartered that plane to go to NYC for the festival, but I don't wanna leave until I know what's going on with Eddie!"

Nora: "Oh, honey, everything's gonna be alright. Is-is Mel there?"

Loren: "No, not yet. Uh, we'll meet you at the courthouse, though. Hey, do you think anybody listened to Chloe when she said that Eddie didn't do it?"

Nora: "They have to honey she's the victim."

Loren: "I guess so. I just hate that Eddies fate depends on an act of kindness from Chloe Carter."

You broke my heart…

Chloe: I was headed to Tyler's to make things right with him. I asked him what happened to New York and he gave me a smart ass answer. Then I told him he finally had me. And at the same time both of us said, "You broke my heart."

Tyler: "I'm not gonna let you do that to me anymore. You're cured, Chloe."

Chloe: He's acting like a five year old here. How am I supposed to fix this? He said some more stupid stuff and I only had one thing left to say. "But you love me."

Tyler: "I might, but that doesn't matter anymore. My life has been really screwed up the last couple years, and I used to think it was Eddie and Jake that was the cause of the lack of my success, but it's not. It was you." Chloe started talked about how that was absurd and how we could move to NY together and it be just us, but I didn't care. "Look, that sounds good, Chloe, but I'm not gonna go to New York with you. I'm gonna stay here, and I'm gonna do this movie with Oz, and I'm gonna work really hard to make my life right." Then she said one of the most selfish things ever, "What about me?" And my answer came right out, "I'm sorry, babe. I don't give a damn." And with that I closed the door in her face and planned on never talking to her again.

This is more like a secret lair than an actual house…

Mel: "Lo, I thought you wanted us to hurry."

Loren: "I'm coming."

Adam: "I still find it hard to believe that an actual human lives here. I mean, it feels more like a secret lair than an actual house."

Loren: I came down the stairs and heard what Adam was saying. "Oh, does it? Does that mean that you think Eddies a superhero?"

Adam: "It would explain a lot."

Loren: "Would it explain how he spent the night in jail?" I was being very witty, like Mel. I just couldn't help myself. "Ooh, I forgot my phone. I'll meet you guys by the car." Mel and Adam walked out the house and I went to get my phone

Arraignment?...

Mel: Adam and I came out of the elevator and were stopped by Jeffery, Eddie's doorman. He asked up to wait up a minute, he needed to tell us something. He started talking about how Eddie called him early this morning and told him to come get him. He said they released him this morning because there was no need for court since Eddie didn't do anything and Chloe was no longer believable. He said that Eddie wanted to surprise everyone and meet them here. He told us to go ahead outside with everyone else because that's where Eddie was. When we got outside I couldn't stop myself from giving Eddie a big hug, and whispering in his ear, "I missed you handsome rock star, don't you ever leave my girl again." He laughed and told me that Lo was "HIS GIRL." I laughed and Adam and I said goodbye to everyone else. I sent Lo a message telling her goodbye and I loved her and that I would see her later. And then we left along with everyone else except Eddie. They were all headed to the airport, but Adam and I were headed home. Max ran over and stopped us. He gave us two tickets to come to New York. He had bought them for him, but didn't need them now. These tickets would give Adam and I a chance to see what it would be like up here with just us two together. "Thanks Papa Max," I yelled from the car as we drove off.

Forget something…

Loren: When I grabbed my phone there was a text from Mel saying, "Bye, see you when you get back. Love ya Loren Tate!" I was highly confused after reading this text. Mel was supposed to be taking me to Eddie's arraignment. I was about to pull my phone back out and call Mel when there was a knock on the door. "Forget something Mel?" I said as I was going to open the door. When I opened the door I just stood there for a minute, shocked.

Person: "Nice place you got here." Loren was shocked to see me. But she still had love in her eyes.

Loren: What? Huh? No way? But how? Ahhh! He's here! I stared at him for a minute just to make sure it was really Eddie and then he embraced me into a big hug. We didn't kiss, we just held each other. The hug said over a thousand words. Nothing and no one can describe the feeling.

30 minutes later…

Loren: Eddie and I arrive at the airport, he had me all nervous in the car saying that there would be a whole bunch of fans there cheering when we got to the airport. But when we got there strangely I was relieved to see that it was packed full of fans. I didn't want to have to deal with them right now. We walked onto the plane, Eddie holding my hand leading me to where everyone was. When we walked in I seen Mom and Max holding hands and talking. And Jake and Kelly listening to some music. Eddie said hi to everyone and lead me to our seat.

Jake: "Here they are. Yeah, we almost left without you."

Max: "Come on, cut him some slack, the guy's been dead for days. He's allowed to be late, right?"

Loren: "This is so nice."

Kelly: "Well, get used to it, 'cause this is how its gonna be from now on."

Nora: "Just 'cause you're on a private jet does not mean you get to skip doing the dishes and cleaning your room at home."

Loren: "I wouldn't dream of it."

Eddie: Brenda came on and yet again called me Mr. Duran, and yet again I told her to call me Eddie. I knew this was just her way of flirting, but I only found it cute when Loren did it. I still flashed a smile at Brenda though.

Jake: "Just like old times."

Eddie: "Oh, no, no, no. THESE ARE NEW TIMES, alright?" "Are you ready for this?" I said grabbing Loren's knee.

Loren: "Are you kidding? I've never been more ready for anything." Eddie just looked at me for a minute and then grabbed my hand.

Eddie: I leaned in and kissed Loren's hand and said, "I'm proud of you." Then I pushed her hair back behind her ears and leaned in and kissed her…
