Here is the camping chapter that I thought would be fun to write since I was up camping! Please Review! I don't own any rights to the characters or Hollywood Heights.

Chapter 13 – Camping

Eddie and Loren pulled up to the camping spot. Mel and Cameron were already there. Mel smiled when she saw Loren get out of the car. She was wearing shorts a tank top and converse.

Loren: Hey Mel!

She started pulling her hair up in a ponytail as Eddie got the things out of the car.

Mel: Hey Lo!

Loren: You still think you are a camping girl?

Mel: Oh yes I know how to camp!

Mel put on her sunglasses and laid down in a chair tanning. Loren shook her head and figuring that was what Mel thought camping was. Loren had gone camping a lot when she was younger with her dad. But she hadn't gone since the day he left but she had to admit it was fun to be in the outdoors again.

MK ~

Max looked up and saw Nora walking in. He sighed visibly irritated he was sick of dealing with her.

Nora: Max I need your help.

Max: Why would you need my help?

Nora: I need to get Loren to talk to me again.

Max couldn't help it he started laughing. Nora glared at him.

Max: Good luck with that.

Nora: Max I need to be in my daughter's life.

Max: Really because you didn't feel the need to just the other day.

Nora: Max please…

Max hesitated. He knew he might as well help her since Loren probably would want nothing to do with her anyway.

Max: Well what's your plan?

Nora stared at him blankly.

Max: You don't even have a plan!? Geez Nora!

Nora: Well! My plan was to get you to help me and that's as far as I got.

Max: (shaking his head) Wow…

Camping ~

Loren was sitting on a rock by the lake with her feet in the water. Eddie came and sat by her.

Eddie: I thought you said Mel thought she was a camping girl?

Loren: (laughed) In her mind she is.

Eddie: I didn't know you were.

Loren: Well I kind of am I guess. I went with my dad all the time when I was little but after he left I never went again. This is the first time I have actually gone since.

Eddie knew this was a touchy subject for Loren so he decided to change the subject.

Eddie: (smiling) Do you know how to skip a rock?

Loren: (confused) Do I what?

Eddie: Do you know how to skip a rock?

Loren was confused when he changed the conversation. But she also was grateful since he knew that it was hard for her to talk about.

Loren: (embarrassed) No I don't.

Eddie held out his hand she took it standing up.

Eddie: Well I am going to teach you.

Loren smiled as the both started searching for flat rocks.

MK ~

Chloe walked into MK looking for Max. She had been trying to get a hold of Eddie all day and his phone was off. He never turned his phone off so she was determined to find him. She spotted him at the bar talking to some brown haired lady who reminded her of someone.

Max: Chloe what are you doing here?!

Chloe: I'm looking for Eddie. I have given him his space and now it's time for us to get back together.

Max: (laughed) Wow you are either desperate or you are just that stupid.

Chloe: Eddie loves me! He is just wasting time with that girl while we have been apart, but now it is time for him to come to his senses.

Max: That's the thing Chloe. Eddie is in his right mind. It's you that isn't.

Chloe: I am going to get back together with your son. Now just tell me where he is.

Max: Well honestly Chloe I don't really know where he is. He is on vacation with Loren and even if I knew where he was I wouldn't tell you.

Chloe: Max I love your son why can't you not see that?

Max: Because all of us can see right through you Chloe. Quit with the act it's not working.

Chloe: (smirking) Oh Max you're going to regret saying that especially when I get your son back and turn him against you.

Max: You know Chloe I don't trust you. Never did. But I swear if you hurt one hair on my girl's head I will reveal everything that I have found out about you. All your lies are going to be uncovered to the world.

Chloe: (scoffing) You don't know anything.

Max: Oh really Cynthia Kowalski from Fresno California where your mother Jackie still lives. Or should I bring up the accident and the death of my wife Katy.

Chloe froze and looked at Max with wide eyes.

Chloe: You wouldn't dare.

Max: Oh yes I would. Leave my son and daughter alone. Unless you want to go to prison for life, cause let's face it Chloe orange is not your color.

Chloe glared at him before she stormed out of the club.

Camping ~

Eddie: Okay so you just turn your wrist like this and throw it.

Loren: Yeah not going to happen.

Eddie: (laughed) Come on Lo. Try it!

Loren: Fine, but don't make fun of me.

She took the rock and threw it. All it did was make a huge splash.

Loren: See I told you!

Eddie: (smiling) Here I will help you.

He stepped forward so his chest was against her back. He slid his hand down her arm until he reached her hand wrapping his around hers. He smiled when he saw goose bumps break out along her skin. He loved that he had that affect on her.

Eddie: So just turn your wrist and throw it.

Loren followed Eddie's movement and threw it. It skipped three times. Loren clapped excitedly she turned so that she faced Eddie. He smiled when he saw the look of victory in her eyes.

Loren: I did it!

Eddie pulled her into a fierce kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly as he pulled her in closer by the waist.

Later that night ~

They were all sitting around the fire. Loren was sitting on Eddie's lap with his arms wrapped around her. Loren looked over and saw Mel and Cameron sitting next to each other but weren't touching. Mel looked up at Loren and smiled.

Mel: Lo do you have an extra blanket?

Loren: Yeah I'll go get it.

Eddie: I can get it.

Loren stood and smirked at him.

Loren: I guess we will see who gets there first.

Eddie: Is that a challenge?

Loren smiled and before she could take off running Eddie picked her up.

Loren: (laughing) Eddie no fair!

Eddie ran to the tent and walked in putting her on the sleeping bag. He got down on top of her and kisser her. Loren rolled over so that she was lying on his chest. She looked down at him and smiled. She gave him a quick peck on the lips before she grabbed the blanket. She brought it out to Mel.

Loren: I'm going to go to bed.

Loren saw a hint of disappointment in Mel's eyes.

Mel: Okay see you in the morning.

Mel watched Loren walking to the tent where Eddie was waiting for her. She wished she had that.

Loren crawled into the tent.

Loren: Gosh I'm freezing.

Eddie: Come here.

Loren crawled over to him and got into his sleeping bag with him. It was cozy, but she felt safe and warm in his arms. She smiled when he wrapped his arms around tightly. She rested her head against his chest listening to his heartbeat. She fell asleep almost instantly.

Next morning ~

Mel peeked into their tent. She saw Loren and Eddie in the same sleeping bag and Loren was curled up in Eddie's arms. Mel felt a pang of jealousy. She wanted to have a relationship like that. She hated to admit it, but she was unhappy with Cameron, but she didn't feel like she could find anyone else. Almost as if she was settling.

Mel: Lo?

Loren lifted her head from off Eddie's chest and looked at her.

Loren: Yeah?

Mel: We are going to go on a hike this morning. You guys coming?

Loren: Sure let me wake Eddie up.

Mel nodded and left. Loren turned to look at Eddie. She traced the contours of his face. His eyelids fluttered open. He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. Loren smiled and kissed him softly. She went to pull away but Eddie wouldn't let her.

Loren: (sighing) Eddie… Mel and Cameron want us to go on a hike with them.

Eddie was kissing her neck and traveled up until he kissed her lips again.

Eddie: fine…

Loren: What would you say if we slipped out after the hike and headed back to LA?

Eddie: I don't know what would we do when we got back?

Loren smiled and kissed him softly.

Eddie: (groaning) Okay well let's go on the hike so we can get back to doing that.

Hope you guys liked it. Please Review.
