We're about to hug when my phone rings. My mom's name flashes on the screen. I debate whether to answer or not. It's not like I don't want to talk to her, it's actually the opposite, I want to tell her everything that's happening to me right now but I can't. Telling her about my situation with Eddie might cause I fight between her and Max and the last thing I want is for my mom to be unhappy because of me. I decide to answer her call and hope she doesn't ask any questions
Loren: hey mom
Nora: Loren! How are you sweetheart? I haven't talked to you in a few days
Loren: I'm fine mom, I'm sorry I haven't called you
Nora: sweetie, you've been really distant lately
Loren: I know mom and I'm sorry, I've just been busy
Nora: why don't you come over? Max wants to go check up on Eddie so her won't be here tonight and we can talk. I'll even make my famous pie
Loren: that sounds great mom, I'll be there later
I hang up and flop down on the couch. Melissa is standing looking at me with a thoughtful expression.
Loren: what?
Mel: I was thinking something
Loren: and that is
Mel: you're about one month and three weeks pregnant right
Loren: yes and your point is
Mel: is that you'll start showing soon!
Loren: I won't start showing until I am about four months into the pregnancy Mel. In the meantime, I can still film the movie
Mel: and after that?
Loren: I don't know, I'll think of something
Mel: are you going to tell... Him
Loren: *sigh* I don't know Mel. I feel like he has the right to know he's going to be a father but at the same time, I want him to be out of my life for good
Mel: Loren, you're a celebrity, paparazzi will find out about your pregnancy so Eddie will know the truth one way or another
Loren: you're right but I still want to wait
Mel: That's okay Loren, I can't possibly know what you're going through but I'm trying to and I'll support any decisions you make
Loren: *crying* thank you Mel
Mel: don't cry Loren
Loren: I'm sorry, it's just that my hormones are everywhere right now
Mel: *chuckling* as long as you don't go King Kong on me I'm okay
Loren: *laughing* I would never do that. Oh I'm going out tonight
Mel: is it with some sexy man?
Loren: if you consider my mom a sexy man then yes
Mel: so you finally stopped avoiding Nora huh?
Loren: I wasn't avoiding here! I was just... just...
Mel: avoiding her
Loren: *sigh* you know why I'm doing this Mel
Mel: I know but you should at least tell your mom you're pregnant. You know she could give you advice
Loren: I know... I think I'll tell her today
Mel: good
Ian's P.O.V
Ian: you know, you've been staring at that your cellphone for about fifteen minutes now
Eddie: I don't know if...
Ian: if what?
Eddie: nothing, I need to make a call
I don't know what's going through Eddie's head right now. Actually no, I do know, and I know that my best mate is jealous and hurting. From the corner of my eye, I see him hold his phone next to his ear, after a few seconds he frowns and hangs up.
Ian: why the long face mate?
Eddie: she didn't answer me *chuckle* but of course she wasn't going answer, I don't know why I even called her
Ian: did you call...
I'm about about to ask Eddie a question when his phone rings. For a moment he looks happy but when he answers his face falls as if was expecting someone else's voice . I hear him say "I'll be there later" and hangs up.
Eddie: that was Chloe... She says she has to tell me something
Ian: you have to go then?
Eddie: yes but you should drop by the penthouse later
Ian: sure I'll see you later mate
He walks to his car and leaves.
Loren's P.O.V
I can't believe he had the nerve to call me! We have no reason to talk to each other anymore. We're over. But even though I don't want to admit it to myself seeing his name flash on my screen did ignite something within me. It brought back memories. It reminded me of what we had, of how happy we were... Or at least I thought we were. It also made the anger I had tried to contain flurry. How dare he call me? Why? I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! But if he think he still has an affect on me he's wrong. But I know the truth, and the truth is that he does still affect me but I have to at least make him think he doesn't. My phone rings again and without looking at who it is answer.
Loren: *yelling* what!?
Kelly: woah there Loren!
Loren: sorry Kelly! I thought you were someone else
Kelly: are you calmed down now?
Loren: *sigh* yes... I'm sorry
Kelly: it's fine. How are you holding up?
Loren: Kelly, it's been three weeks. I'm perfectly fine
Kelly: well if you say so... I was just calling you to tell you that your song is dropping out today at three
Loren: really!?
Kelly: *laughing* you seem excited
Loren: I am
Kelly: so is Eddie's
Loren: oh
Kelly: Jake says it's a beautiful song
Loren: *uncomfortable* umm... Why are we talking about Eddie?
Kelly: right, right, sorry. I was also calling to tell you the filming of Spring Breakers starts in a week
Loren: really? I'm looking forward to it
Kelly: and I also wanted to ask you if you've thought about what we talked about
Loren: and that is?
Kelly: modeling
Loren: I'll do it
Kelly: that's great! It will be good for your career, trust me. I'll get you a meeting with the company
Loren: sounds good
Kelly: ok, I'll text you the details later
Loren: thanks Kelly
After I hang up, I open up tweeter and tweet something...
LorenTate: Get ready for a new song! Checkout it out at 3:00. Thanks to all of my fans for supporting me and to the person who was my inspiration. She knows exactly who she is.
I exit the app and sigh. I will have to tell Kelly about being pregnant after all. If I want to model, I will only be able to do it for a few months. I grab my purse and head out to my mom's. When I get there, I knock on the door and I'm greeting by a very excited Nora.
Nora: *hugging Loren* sweetie! It's been so long
Loren: *tearing up* I know mom. I missed you
Nora: why are you crying?
Loren: I'm just happy to see you
Nora: I'm happy to see my daughter too
Loren: come on, let's get inside
Nora: how have you been?
Loren: I'm doing great mom. I've even really busy with my career
Nora: I hope you're not overworking yourself
Loren: I'm not. I'm really excited about the single that's dropping in let's see... Fifteen minutes
Nora: oh I didn't know you recorded a new song
Loren: I'm sorry I didn't tell you
Nora: it's okay
Loren: oh and I'm also doing a movie and I might start modeling
Nora: that's a lot of work Loren!
Loren: I know but I'd rather have a lot of work than not having any
Nora: just take care of yourself ok?
Loren: I am... Don't worry
Nora: now tell me! What is this movie about?
Loren: it's called Spring Breakers
Nora: *surprised* that movie!?
Loren: what's that supposed to mean?
Nora: nothing, it's just that there are rumors about the actors starring in the movie and what the movie is about and it just doesn't seem like something you would like to do
Loren: it is and filming starts next week
Nora: are you sure about this Loren?
Loren: yes mom! Plus I'm the good girl in the movie
Nora: and you really want to do it?
Loren: yes mom, I'm really excited
Nora: ok then
Loren: I also wanted to tell you something else...
Nora: yes?
Loren: I'm... never mind
Nora: what were going to say?
Loren: nothing... How about some pie?
Chloe's P.O.V
That stupid little teeny bopper! Ugh I hate her! It's all her fault. I had a role in that movie and because of her, I got kicked out off it. This was the perfect role for me to become a famous actress! It's all part of her plan! I also heard her new stupid song and I know it's about me. My reputation will go down the drain! No that's it's that good to begin with but still! I didn't believe her when she said she would get revenge against me but I'm starting to. I hear a knock on the door and open it. Yes, he's finally here.
Chloe: Eddie! I missed you baby
Eddie: what did you want to tell me?
Chloe: ugh, did you the teeny bopper's new song?
Eddie: stop calling her that
Chloe: whatever! She wants revenge! Because of her I don't have a role anymore
Eddie: it's not her fault
Chloe: are you kidding? The producer told me she said they had to choose between her and me! And they chose her! She probably slept with him
Eddie: Chloe, shut up!
Chloe: you should be on my side not on hers! Have you even heard her new song! I know it's about me, she insulting me! I'm telling you she wants revenge! She's jealous of me
Eddie: *sigh* she has nothing to be jealous about
Chloe: Eddie!
Eddie: if that's all I'm leaving
Chloe: no! I have to tell you something else
Eddie: what is it?
Chloe: Eddie... I'm pregnant
