The Love That was Always There

Chapter 8: Confessions

EDDIE'S P.O.V

I am so bored without Loren. I have Chloe, but all she wants to talk about is her. I don't know what I was thinking in the past, Loren is way better. I was staring at my wall with collages of me and my friends and family. I noticed I was staring at the ones with Loren and I. I heard a knock at the door, and the person walked in. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, unless that person was Loren. I turned on my side away from the door, not knowing who it was. I heard a purse being set down on the dresser, then a spot on my bed weighing down from someone's weight. I didn't want to talk.

LOREN'S P.O.V

After thinking for a while, and talking to my mom, I started to look at the whole Eddie situation from his point of view. I couldn't, and I was reluctant to talk to him. I just didn't understand… why, why he treated me the way he did. After all this time, after all we've been through, why did he choose now. Why would he treat me like that, he never has, it is like he did a whole 360 turn on me. I decided I was going to see him. When I got to his house, I talked with Katy and Max for a while before I went up to his room. When I got in there, he turned on his side, and I could tell he didn't want to talk. I set my purse down, and sat next to him.

Loren: "Eddie? It's me" I looked over his shoulder, and my hair was dangling on his back.

Eddie: "Loren?" I couldn't believe she was here, I wanted her here, and she came, and answered my prayers. I turned around and faced her, she was sitting on her legs.

Loren: "Hey, I know what I said earlier was a little harsh, and I just wanted to talk to you about why you acted the way you did." I was still mad, but I was slowly getting over it.

Eddie: "I don't know. What I do know, is that, what I did is wrong, I acted like a complete jerk, I acted like a hypocrite, and I am so, so sorry for it. I didn't mean any of it, what I said on Friday was completely true, I just got caught up with all of that, what I did is wrong, I acted like a complete jerk, I acted like a hypocrite, and I am so, so sorry for it. I didn't mean any of it, what I said on Friday was completely true, I just got caught up with all of my emotions."

Loren: "I know you're sorry, I just don't get why you treated me like I was nothing. You could have talked to me, and I would have at least try to understand why you betrayed me the next day."

Eddie: "You would have accepted my decision though."

Loren: "Well now we would never know, and it's not my decision, no matter how much I would have hated the idea, I still would have respected it, I just wish you would have handled it differently and more mature."

Eddie: "I'm sorry, ok, I will never do it again, I just need you to forgive me, I have been miserable without you here with me, I can't handle my crazy life without you in it. I need you back here with me, to stand next to me as my best friend, forever"

Loren: "And always." I was a little upset about what he said just now. He said that he meant what he said on Friday, and that was to be more than friends, but now, he is saying he wants to be friends now. I get it, he has a girlfriend and all, and it shouldn't hurt as much as it does, but I think it hurts worse. It hurts worse because picturing him with Chloe every day, and not having as much time with him as I used to. But now I have to deal with it, and move on, so that is exactly what I was going to do.

Eddie: "I missed you soo much." I hugged her right after. The last time I hugged her ended in making out, on this bed. A lot of memories in this room. Too much to handle. She pulled back after a while.

Loren: "I have to get going, I have stuff to do." I was trying to make an excuse to go home, I felt uncomfortable, which was weird because I always felt comfortable with Eddie.

Eddie: "Do you have to go, I am positive you don't, so let's just hangout right now, I miss it. Plus, I have a lot to tell you."

Loren: I let out a long sigh. I thought about it for a moment, and thought, why not. "Sure. There isn't much to do though, I mean, all of our plans are ruined." I didn't want to go down memory lane.

Eddie: "Umm ok how about we go to the mall and just hangout, go shopping… and stuff."

Loren: I raised my eyebrows in shock, he actually wanted to go shopping… with me. "You want to go shopping?"

Eddie: "Chloe has got me used to it. All she ever does is shop, and talk about her, and only her."

Loren: "wow, ok." I didn't want to talk about Chloe, I didn't like her that much from the start anyways."

Eddie: "Ok, let's go."

Loren: "wait, Ian is expecting me, we were supposed to hangout today."

Eddie: "You….. and Ian….. hangout."

Loren: "Yeah, is hard to believe that I actually hangout with guys other than you.?" I felt offended at that part. He couldn't just expect me to only hangout with him, I have other guy friends.

Eddie: "NO, it isn't, I am just surprised that's all, I mean… I thought he would've try to hit on you by now."

Loren: "Well, he hasn't, and I am actually surprised." I didn't really think about it until now

Loren and Eddie went out to the mall, and while they were there, they went out to eat, and a few paparazzi spotted them together. They were walking side by side like they always do, with Eddie's arm around her shoulders and Loren carrying a few bags.

Sorry guys, that was the shortest one ever in history, this is the last short chapter. The rest are going to be long. In the next one, I will include, well I am thinking about including Ian liking Melissa, and Eddie And Loren are on good terms, then Chloe gets jealous and try to turn them on each other. So yeah, tell me what you think, do you want Melissa and Ian, or Loren and Ian, or Loren And Eddie, or Eddie or Chloe. Review please, I appreciate it.
