Something More Chapter 12

Loren was still sitting, she turned and noticed Max was standing there, she got up and smiled as she headed to the stairs. "Good night Max." She quickly ran up the stairs closing the door behind her, Loren could feel her heart racing; she placed her hand on her chest. "It's ok Loren, calm down." She sat on the chair, not knowing what else to do at that moment.

Meanwhile Katy walked back with a pot of coffee where Eddie sat. "Ok here's some coffee." She looked at Max and looked around. "I thought Loren was here?"

Max scratched the back of his head. "Hmmm she was, she just left."

"Oh great, he's asleep, this huge pot of coffee and no one to drink it."

Max walked to where Eddie laid. "He can sleep it off here; we can have that coffee in the morning."

"I guess." Katy walked back to the kitchen to place the pot of coffee back in its place. Max trailed behind her. "Katy honey, something just happened when Loren was sitting with Eddie."

Katy turned to face her husband. "Did Eddie get sick?"

Max hesitated and finally spoke up. "No, he kissed Loren and told her he loved her."

Katy's eyes widen. "Wait what?"

"I went down to Eddie's room to put some of his things away and when I came up he was kissing her and told her he loved her, then he fell asleep."

Katy placed her hands on her face. "Omg what has he done? How could he do this to Loren?"

"He had been drinking; I don't think he'll remember in the morning."

Katy paced back and forth for a second. "No Max you don't get it, Loren is in love with our son, what is this going to do to her?"

Max sat down. "I'm sure he didn't mean to kiss her, he was caught in the moment."

"That's not the point Max, this will just confuse Loren, I can't imagine what's going through her head."

"She took off as soon as she saw me; I guess she knew I saw what happened."

"I'm going up to talk to her."

Max stopped her by holding her arm. "Honey wait til morning, I'm sure Loren knows he had been drinking."

"I don't want to see Loren hurt Max, how could Eddie do such a stupid thing, I tell you there are times I wonder if he knows that his actions can lead to serious consequences?"

"Listen I'll talk to him in the morning and you can talk to Loren; you know make sure she's ok."

Katy walked away groaning. "I'm going to kill him!"

Loren still sat without moving, there was so much going through her head, she made some tea and sat again, she was so focused in her thoughts she didn't hear Mel walk in. "Hey Superstar, it was a huge night, I bet you can't sleep."

Loren turned towards her. "I didn't hear you come in."

"Your adrenaline is still going strong, it's after 1, you better get some rest."

"I can't Mel, I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight."

Mel noticed Loren's tone. "Hey you ok?"

"I don't know Mel, Eddie kissed me."

Mel dropped her cup and practically ran to her side. "He what?"

"He kissed me, then he said he loved me."

"How and when was this?"

Loren got up; she was playing with her fingers. "He had a bit too much to drink, we got home, I had to drive his car, we came in and Katy went to make coffee, Max took Eddie's things downstairs and I sat with Eddie."

Mel was taking in every word. "Ok then what happened?"

"He said I was beautiful and then within minutes he kissed me and said I love you."

"Omg Lo, no wonder you can't sleep."

Loren let out a huge sigh. "Mel he wasn't himself, he had been drinking, he's not going to remember this in the morning, I feel so embarrassed, and Max saw the whole thing."

"You shouldn't feel that way, it was Eddie who kissed you, and he's the one that should be feeling bad."

Loren stood up walking to the big window. "He fell back into the sofa asleep, he won't recall a single thing, but can you imagine what it felt to hear him say I love you?"

Mel walked towards her best friend. "I know Lo, I know you love him, hey are you going to be ok?"

"Yeah it would, but not under these circumstances, not while he's had too much to drink that he won't recall a word he said."

Mel walked towards Loren. "Listen try and get some sleep, we have to get ready to fly back home, you need your rest , you're going to be very busy, you had 2 great months here, you're everywhere Lo, you're this year's newest Pop star."

"I'll try Mel, I just don't know if I can face the Duran's tomorrow."

"Hey you did nothing wrong, the one that should feel bad will be Eddie once he's told what he did."

Loren didn't say anything else, she walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed, after a few minutes she walked out and Mel went in, she laid on her bed, she turned the radio on and she smiled as one of Eddie's songs was playing, a small tear appeared rolling to the side of her face.

The following morning Loren was up and in the shower, by the time she stepped out Mel was already up, she was coming with two cups of coffee. "Her Lo, I thought I would go and get this for us." Loren took the cup from her hand. "Thanks Mel." she took a sip.

"Is everybody up?"

"Katy and Max were in the kitchen, I didn't see Eddie or Ian."

"Did Katy say anything?"

"She asked if you were up, I told her you were in the shower, Max was his usual sweet self."

Loren walked back to sit in one of the chairs by the TV room. She took another sip of her coffee. "Lo I'm going to shower." As Mel was walking into the bathroom Katy was already at the door. "Loren can we talk?"

Mel hurried into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Loren got up; she didn't want to make eye contact with Katy. "Good morning Katy."

"Did you get some sleep?"

"I think I did." Katy noticed and walked closer to her. "Listen Max told me what happened, Loren I'm so sorry."

"Katy you have no need to apologize, I know Eddie wasn't himself, he's not going to remember so please don't worry about it."

"Oh this isn't over, I hate it when he drinks, but then he turns and kisses you and tells you he loves you, I know how you feel Loren, I know you're in love with him and you don't need any of this right now, your career is just getting started."

"Katy its ok, I know he won't recall any of it, let's forget this even happened."

"Loren I can't, Max is downstairs talking to him; this will never happen again, I don't want you hurting because of my son."

Loren bit her lower lip. "Thank you Katy, but I promise you I'm ok, Eddie had been drinking, he wouldn't hurt me on purpose."

Katy hugged her. "You don't need him doing that to you, I know how you feel Loren."

"I don't want you to worry Katy."

"Just so you know, I might kill Eddie for that stunt."

Loren smiled. "No! It's ok Katy, don't hurt him."

"I can't promise anything, I'll let you pack Loren, come down for breakfast."

Meanwhile…..

Max made his way down to the basement, he walked in to find Ian watching TV and drinking some coffee. "Where's Eddie?"

"He's in the shower, you should have seen him this morning, and it's been a while since I've seen Eddie a little hung over." Ian smirked.

Eddie stepped out with the towel wrapped around his waist and he was drying his hair with his hand. "Hey pops, I need some aspirin and thanks for the coffee."

"Your mom made it last night, by the time it was ready you were asleep."

"I know, but I'm enjoying it right now, I just need something for this headache."

Max turned back to Ian. "Can I have some privacy with Eddie?"

Ian got up. "Yeah sure, I'll go upstairs to get something to eat."

Eddie walked back into the bathroom and walked out with a robe on. "What's up pops?"

"Do you recall anything from last night?"

Eddie furrowed his eye brows. "I don't know, should I?"

"You don't remember getting home? I know you had a bit too much to drink."

"I know I was in the car with you and mom."

"Loren drove your car, do you remember that?"

"I guess I'm not sure." Eddie furrowed his eyebrows and walked closer to his dad as he took another sip of his coffee. "Pops what's wrong?"

"Loren sat next to you while your mom made coffee last night, I came down here to bring your things and as I was going back up.." Max turned away. "What? Just say it, what happened Pops?"

"You told Loren you loved her and kissed her."

Eddie's eyes widen. "I did what?"

He walked away scratching his head. "Oh tell me you're kidding?"

Max sat down. "I wish I was Eddie, I saw and heard you."

"Omg, what did Loren do?"

"She saw me and went upstairs."

Eddie buried his head in his arms as he sat on the table. "Oh man, I wasn't thinking, I mean I don't know what happened."

"Be ready, your mom said she was going to kill you."

Eddie rolled his eyes. "I'm a jerk, how could I do this to Loren?"

"You told her she was beautiful."

"I'm not lying there, she is very beautiful, but to kiss her and tell her I loved her?"

"Well you better talk to her and like I said, your mom is going to kill you, so be prepared for that."

Eddie walked back to the bathroom. "Yeah Pops, I'll be ready."

It was past noon when Loren and Mel were all packed and ready to go. Loren hesitated going downstairs, she had to avoid Eddie, it was awkward, she was in no mood for a confrontation with him.

"Lo I made us these sandwiches, they're pastrami."

Loren smiled licking her lips. "Mel you're an angel, I'm starving, thank you so much, my favorite."

"I don't know what the fuzz is all about, you did nothing wrong, the one that should be embarrassed is Eddie, he kissed you."

Loren took a huge bite from her sandwich. "I know Mel, but it's better like this, once we head to the airport there will be plenty of people around."

I think they're going to be ready to go soon, I heard Max calling for the Limo."

Eddie was in his room packing when Katy walked in. "I heard your dad talked to you?"

Eddie didn't want to look at his mom. "Yes, I'm really sorry, I don't know what came over me mom, I wouldn't hurt Loren."

"I just don't want this happening again, Loren is at the peak of getting her career launched and I can't have you doing anything close to the stunt you pulled last night Eddie."

"I know mom, like I told Pops, I'm sorry and I'll tell you the same thing, I'm sorry."

"Did you talk to Loren?"

Eddie let out a huge sigh, he knew his mom wasn't letting go of this that easily. "No but I will, I haven't seen her at all today, I guess she's avoiding me."

Katy rolled her eyes. "The way she feels about you and.." she stopped when she realized what she was about to spill. Eddie turned to look at her. "Mom what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just talk to her and apologize."

Eddie walked up closer to his mom. "Mom what about Loren? You were going to say something?"

"Finish packing." She left his room as quickly as she came in. Eddie stood watching his mom exit the room still wondering what she was going to say.

Within the hour Mel and Loren were outside with their luggage waiting for the Limo. Eddie came out with his bags and Ian trailed behind him. "You're both anxious to get going huh?"

Mel turned and smiled when she spotted Ian. "Yes we are, Hi Ian, so tell me, how are we going to see each other now that we're headed back home?"

She walked wrapping her hands around Ian's waist. "Well let's see what we have to do about that."

Eddie watched as both Mel and Ian walked a few feet away from where Loren stood. "Loren can we talk?"

She pulled her hair to the side, she moved her luggage closer to her, and Eddie could tell she was nervous. "Listen I owe you an apology."

"Don't worry, like I told your mom, you weren't yourself."

"I had no right to do that to you, I'm really sorry Loren, I feel so bad, you're such a great friend and now we're working together, I don't want to ruin our relationship."

She finally turned making eye contact with him. "It's ok Eddie; I know you had been drinking, so forget the whole thing." She extended her hand. "Friends?"

Eddie smiled. "Thank you Loren, of course, but there's one thing I wasn't lying about, you are very beautiful."

"Oh so that part you remember?" she smirked.

"No, apparently my Dad listened to the whole thing, like I said I'm sorry, this is the last time after we're done with a show that I do any drinking."

"Oh really? You're afraid of what you might do next time?" Loren retorted.

"Yeah, we could end up getting married and then what?"

Loren laughed as Eddie pulled his luggage closer to where Loren stood. Max peeked through the door. "Hey the Limo is running late, they called a new driver is coming to get us, so hang on."

Ian turned as he sat on the side talking to Mel. "No rush Max, we have all day to get to the plane."

Within 20 minutes the Limo arrived and the driver got out retrieving the luggage. Within seconds he turned to where Eddie stood and pulled out a gun.

"I told you Duran we weren't done, I've waited for this day for so long!" He pointed the gun towards Eddie. "Jason?"

Loren turned looking at Jason and back to Eddie. "Jason what are you doing?"

He stood his ground holding the gun towards Eddie, Ian and Mel heard the noise and turned around, both got up looking at each other not knowing if to run or yell for help.

"You stay out of this Loren; this is between Eddie and me." He aimed the gun at Eddie; it took Loren seconds to react as she screamed out pushing Eddie out of Jason's line of target. The sound of gun fire was heard, both Eddie and Loren fell to the floor.

OH NO! Anyone hurt? So Jason was our mystery guy! sorry for this cliffhanger. R & R please
