Previously: Mel and Loren had just gotten home. They went straight to bed.
The next morning Mel and Loren woke up to the bright California sunshine. They got ready for school and walked into the kitchen.
Nora: Good Morning Girls!
Loren: Good Morning Mom!
Mel: Good Morning!
Nora: What do you girls have planned today?
Loren: Well, we have to go to school until 11 then I am going to hang out with Eddie and work on some new songs.

Mel and Loren leave for school. They arrive and clean out their lockers. Once they return all of their books they go out onto the court yard.

Mel takes off towards Ian. He helps her into the car and they go on their date.
A few minutes later Eddie pulls up. Loren walks up to Eddie and kisses him.
Eddie: Hey beautiful! How was your day?
Loren: Hey handsome! My day was good! How was yours?
Eddie: Miserable. You weren't there with me.
Loren: Well I am here now. So what do you want to do rock star?
Eddie: I just want to spend some alone time with my girl
Loren: *Walks closer to Eddie* that can be arranged
Eddie: *Kisses her* I missed you
Loren: *Hugs him tight* I missed you too!
Eddie helps Loren into the car and heads back to his penthouse. They arrive at the penthouse 20 minutes later. Eddie and Loren walk in and greet Jeffery.
Loren: Hello Jeffery, How are you today?
Jeffery: Hello Ms. Tate. I am very well. Thank you.
Loren: I'm glad to hear that you are doing well.
Loren gets into the elevator but Jeffery whispers to Eddie.
Jeffery: *Whispering* she's a keeper Mr. Duran.
Eddie: *Chuckles* Yes she is Jeffery.
Eddie gets into the elevator with Loren and go up to his apartment.
Eddie: Hey Lo?
Loren: Yeah?
Eddie: Can we just stay in today? And have no one over?
Loren: That sounds perfect to me.
Eddie and Loren reach his penthouse and walk in.

Loren: When am I not hungry?
Eddie:*Laughing* True. What to order in?
Loren: actually no. I want to cook. *Smiles at Eddie*
Eddie: What are we having Ms. Tate?
Loren: You'll just have to wait and see. *Kisses him and walks into the kitchen*
Ian and Mel
Mel: So where are we going on this date?
Ian: You will have to wait and see
Mel: I don't like surprises!
Ian: You will love this surprise.
Mel: For your sake I sure hope so.
Loren and Eddie
Eddie: Lo, that smells amazing! What are you making?
Loren: You will find out in exactly 10 minutes. Can you set the table please?
Eddie: Yeah
After 10 minutes Loren brings out the food and sets it on the table. She sits down in the chair next to Eddie.
Eddie: I love that you can cook!
Loren: *Laughing* don't be too sure until you try it!
Loren uncovers the dish and to Eddie's surprise she had cooked his favorite meal.
Eddie: How did you know?
Loren: *Confused* Know what?
Eddie: That this is my favorite food
Loren: Your favorite food is chicken enchiladas?
Eddie: Yeah
Loren: well I didn't know that they were your favorite, but I thought you would like them.
Eddie and Loren eat their food.
Eddie: Babe that was delicious!
Loren: Thank you! *kisses him*
Eddie: I'll do the dishes
Loren: It's okay. I got it.
Eddie: well at least let me help you.
Loren: Fine
Eddie: *Kisses her*
Eddie and Loren do the dishes and clean up the kitchen.
Eddie: I am so full!
Loren: *laughs* Well luckily we don't have to do anything today!
Eddie: *hugs Loren*
Loren: I Love you
Eddie: I love you too. *kisses her*
Loren: *Breaks the kiss*
Eddie wraps his arms around Loren and pulls her close to him. They sit on th couch wrapped in each other's arms.
Loren: Eddie?
Eddie: Yeah Lo?
Loren: Can I ask you something?
Eddie: Shoot
Loren: Can you tell me about your mom? Its okay if you don't want to I just want to know what she was like.
Eddie: It's okay babe. I am glad you want to know about her.
Loren: *kisses his cheek*
Eddie: So what would you like to know about my mom?
Loren: Everything
Eddie: Well, she was so full of life. She always put others before herself. She was actually a lot like you. She never accepted a thank you. She always went by her heart. She loved me and my dad more than anything. I wish she could have met you. She would have loved you.
Loren: You think so?
Eddie: I know so. She always told me that my true love would find me when I was least expecting it. *Looks into Loren's eyes* and boy was she right.
Loren: *Kisses Eddie* Thank you
Eddie: For what?
Loren: Telling me about her. I wish I could have met her. She sounds like my mom.
Eddie: I wish you could have met her too.
Loren: *Hugs Eddie*
Eddie: I want to play you the song I wrote for her.
Loren: Are you sure?
Eddie: Yeah. I want your opinion
Loren: Okay * kisses him*
Eddie gets up from the couch and takes Loren's hand and leads her towards the piano. Eddie looks into Loren's eyes one last time before he begins to play. He moves his fingers over the keys before her finds the right ones. He then begins to play.
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishin' you were next to me, with your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
(Not a day goes by- Lonestar).
Eddie wipes the tears that fell from his eyes while singing. He lifts up his head and looks over at Loren. She has tears streaming down her face. She pulls him into a tight embrace and comforts him as he sobs. After a few minutes Eddie stops crying and looks into Loren's eyes.
Eddie: Thank you
Loren: For what?
Eddie: For making me talk about her. For making me open my heart up to you. And most importantly for letting me get out my emotions.
Loren: Oh Eddie don't thank me. You did that all on your own, I was just here to comfort you.
Eddie: Just accept my thank you. *Kisses her cheek*
Loren: Fine, you're welcome.
Eddie: *Kisses her lips* I love you
Loren: I love you too!
Eddie and Loren return to the couch.
Eddie: Hey Lo?
Loren: Yeah?
Eddie: What would you say to going to the bungalow after you graduate for a week?
Loren: I would love that!
Eddie: Then it's a plan!
Loren: *Kisses him* you're amazing, you know that?
Eddie: Yeah I know *Kisses her*
Loren: *Laughs* What time is it?
Eddie: 2 O'clock. Why?
Loren: I promised mom we would have dinner tonight.
Eddie: Oh, that sounds nice.
Loren: Yeah, I haven't seen her much lately so we decided we would just catch up tonight.
Eddie: I see. Are you excited that you graduate I two days?
Loren: I cannot wait.
Eddie: Do you have to go to school tomorrow?
Loren: Only for graduation practice.
Eddie: what time do you have to go in?
Loren: I have to go in at 2 and I will be done by 3.
Eddie: Can I pick you up tomorrow?
Loren: Of course you can *Kisses Eddie*
Eddie pulls Loren closer to him. They continue to kiss.
Mel and Ian
Ian: we are here
Mel: Where exactly is here?
Ian: *Gets out of the car and opens Mel's door for her.* Follow me and you will see. *Takes Mel's hand*
Ian leads Mel down a dirt path. After a few minutes they reach a blanket with a picnic set up. Ian had flowers all around it.
Mel: It's beautiful.
Ian: I knew you would like this surprise! *Kisses her cheek*
Mel: *Kisses Ian's lips* I love this surprise.
Ian: I'm glad.
Ian lead Mel over the the blanket and they begin to eat.
Loren and Eddie
Eddie breaks away from Loren.
Eddie: I love you
Loren: *Breathless* I love you too
Eddie: When do you have to leave?
Loren: Not until 6.
Eddie: Good.
Loren: I want to play you a song.
Eddie: Is it the song you wrote your mom?
Loren: Yes. I can't wait any longer I have to show it to someone. So why not show my rock star boyfriend?
Eddie: *chuckles*
Loren gets up and grabs his guitar and sits down next to him on the couch. Loren begins to strum the chords.
People always say
I have a laugh
Like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile
When things get rough
I've got her spirit
She's always got my back
When I look at her
I think, I want to be just like that
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
I never met a stranger
I can talk to anyone
Like my mother does
I let my temper fly
And she can walk away
When she's had enough
She sees everybody
For who they really are
I'm so thankful for her guidance
She helped me get this far
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because
I see myself like my mother does
She's a rock
She is grace
She's an angel
She's my heart and soul
She does it all
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because
I see myself like my mother does
Like my mother does
I hear people saying
I'm starting to look like my mother does
Loren finishes singing and looks at Eddie.
Eddie: She will love it. *Kisses her*
Loren: You think so?
Eddie: Yes, that was beautiful.
Loren: *Smiles*
Eddie: When are you going to sing it for her?
Loren: I am going to sing it to her tonight. I was going to sing it at graduation but I have a different song for then.
Eddie: Oh, do I get to hear that song?
Loren: Yes, on graduation day. *Kisses Eddie*
Eddie: Fine * kisses Loren*
Loren: Can we watch a movie?
Eddie: Yeah, what do you want to watch?
Loren: Umm… can we watch you again? (What I am watching)
Eddie: Of course
Loren: yay!
Eddie and Loren sit and watch the movie. In the middle of the movie Eddie leans over and kisses Loren. Loren is surprised by him kissing her but she keeps kissing him. After a few minutes she pulls away.
Loren: What was that for?
Eddie: For being you all of the time.
Loren: Who else would I be?
Eddie: I mean that you never let anyone change who you are. I love that and I love you.
Loren: Awe. I love you too rock star.
Eddie: I mean it. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to change. You are perfect just the way you are.
Loren: *Kisses Eddie*
Eddie: Do you want me to rewind the movie?
Loren: No, I would rather kiss you.
Eddie and Loren continue to kiss on the couch.
