Chapter 10 – Mel's Birthday
Loren: wow Mel this place is amazing! Gus are you sure it's okay they
we stay here?
Gus: of course Loren I want my two favorite girls in a safe place. But
you can only stay here on one condition.
Loren: and what's that?
Gus: you need to tell your mom. Eddie:
Loren sighed. Eddie squeezed her waist.
Loren: (smiled) thank you.
Mel: Well better tell her sooner rather than later. We can start
moving in as soon as you do.
Loren: Well in that case let's go tell her. Mel:
Eddie laughed as Loren pulled him out the door.
Gus: of course I get that at your age you need freedom and be on your
own I was the exact same way. But for some reason Phil is in no rush
to leave.
Mel: don't lose hope on Phil he will do what he is supposed to do in Nora's ~
the end. It takes him longer to figure it than most people but he will
make it.
Gus didn't say anything he just pulled her into a hug.
Loren walked into the house with Eddie. She paused in the doorway but
Eddie squeezed her hand in reassurance. Nora came running out of her
room when she heard them come in.
Nora: Loren I'm so glad you are okay!
Loren: Well don't get your hopes up. I just came to tell you that I am
moving in with Mel. Her dad is letting us use their old condo.
Nora: do I have a say in this?
Loren: no, its mine decision I'm moving out no matter what.
Nora opened her mouth to say something but closed it when she saw
Loren stiffen. Phil, Cameron, and Adam walked in with boxes. They
walked into Loren's room. Eddie squeezed her hand theme followed the
boys into her old room.
Nora: Loren please don't do this.
Loren: mom please I can't take your crazy overprotective behavior
anymore. I need to live my own life. I'm not in high school anymore
and I am moving forward with my career you can decide I you want to
be part of it or not.
Loren walked into her room. Nora sat down on the couch and stared at
the wall. The boys came out an hour later carrying boxes. It took them
a few trips. Once all the boxes were in Eddie's car Loren stopped in
the doorway and looked at her mom sadly.
Loren: bye mom.
Loren left without another word. Eddie stopped in the doorway when he
heard Nora say something.
Eddie: what?
Nora: take care of my baby. Loren and Mel's ~
Eddie: always.
He walked out closing the door behind him. Nora finally let herself cry.
Loren: Will you stay tonight?
Eddie: (smiled) sure, but why?

Eddie: no but thank you.

DJ: Well congratulations. So Eddie we here at the station all think
your little tweets and pictures about Loren are so cute. But yesterday
you were spotted visiting her at school. After she left a reporter got
a rushed statement from her as she walked away. Would you like to hear
it?

best thing that has ever happened to me
Eddie smiled as the DJ pushed stop. DJ:
Eddie: just that I feel the same way. I want everyone to know how much
I love her.

we have of you two you are always kissing her cheek or her hand or her
lips.

wouldn't change it for anything. Especially Eddie.

They all shook hands and then left. Kelly and Jake were both smiling broadly.
Kelly: You both did so well!

They hugged. As Loren and Eddie walked out through the screaming crowds the hopped into the car, Eddie told the driver to head to his place then turned to Loren. Their lips crashed together without a word. They wanted to tell the other how much they loved them. Loren's phone rang interrupting them. Eddie groaned. Loren was sitting on Eddie's lap and didn't get off when she answered it.
Loren: Hey Phil, what's up?
Phil: Lo you guys did great in your interview!
Loren: Thanks, how is the party stuff going?
Phil: Good, we have almost everything set up, but I was wondering if you had talked to Eddie yet about performing?
Loren: I'm working on it. I will see you later, since Mel is still out with Cameron.
Phil: Yeah Cameron will keep her busy for the rest of the day.
Loren: Bye Phil.
Loren hung up the phone and threw it on the seat going back to kissing Eddie. Eddie wrapped his arms around her tightly but after a minute he pulled away.
Eddie: Who was that?
Loren: Mel's Brother Phil. He was just talking about the party tonight.
Eddie: Oh, well what are you working on?
Loren: (sighing) He wants you to sing at Mel's party.
Eddie: (groaning) But it's supposed to be Mel's day. Not about me.
Loren: I know, but I bet it would mean a lot to Mel… It would mean a lot to me too.
Eddie immediately gave in at these words he would do anything to make Loren happy.
Eddie: (smiling) only on one condition.
Loren: And what's that?
Eddie: You sing with me.
Loren: (smiling) anything for you babe.
Eddie pulled her into a kiss.

Loren: Happy birthday Mel, you are so amazing. The best friend a girl like me could have.
