So we are getting closer to the end by every word I write. I have two more chapters in planning at the moment but after that it may be the end of this story. But don't worry cause I had this plan do combine this story with one of my Camp Rock once so there will be a cross-over sequel to both of those stories. But I might keep this one going for a few more chapters just to get more grounds for the sequel. Anyway here is the next chapter.
.
Two weeks have now past by, Graduation and the wedding is just six weeks away now. Usually this time is stressful enough with finals starting in a week but add the stress of finishing up an album and promoting it at the same time and you reach a new level of stress. And Loren had on top of that four different college interviews coming up. She knew that she wasn't going to college this year but a lot could happen until registration in the fall and she didn't want to risk closing some well needed doors.
.
She sat at her desk and was writing down everything that she needed to get done until graduation. All the exams, interviews, songs, promotion shows and wedding planning she had to fit in to her tight schedule.

And this was just the first two weeks.. four more weeks after that but she had gotten to do most of her finals early so she had more time to fix the last touches on the album, the wedding, graduation party and get ready for the tour that started about three weeks after the wedding. So much to do in so little time but she was determined to make it work.
.
The more time that past she realized that she had less and less time to spend with Eddie. But she kept thinking that once on tour things would go back to normal. Or as normal as they could be since their parents would be married by then.. They had to get married, she had never seen her mother so happy in a very long time and she was in no way gonna put an end to that happiness. But how could she do this, it's not like she and Eddie could hide forever and coming out now saying that they are together will definitely have her mother cancel the wedding because she always put Loren first once she'd realize that it was true love. How could she do that to her mother? She was only eighteen.. how would she even know what true love was? It's not like he wouldn't be in her life, they live together and are going on tour soon. They will always be there for eachother, no matter what.
.
So this was it? Was she really ending this? She loved him, well she still do but this was her mothers dream and music was hers. She was gonna give her this and soon there would be no turning back..
.
She knocked on his door before she slowly opened the door and found him at his desk studying for whatever exam he had first on the list.
.
Eddie: "Hey beautiful, finally taking a study break?"
Loren: "Sort of.. We need to talk."
Eddie: "Oh.. that doesn't sound good."
Loren: "Well I've kind of been putting this up for a while but since graduation and the wedding is only a few weeks away and we can't pretend that they doesn't exists.
Eddie: "I know that, but we still have weeks to work something out."
Loren: "I've already figured it out and as much I hate to say this but I just can't do this to my mom. Max really is what she needs and she truly loves him, I can't put my happiness before hers. She deserves this and I'm not gonna be the one to take it away from her. But that doesn't mean that I don't love you cause I do it's just that.."
Eddie: "It's the wedding of their dreams.. I get it and I don't want to stand in the way of that either but I love you Loren and I always will, there is no changing that no matter what."
Loren: "I'm sorry but that's just the way it has to be. Sorry." She said before she quickly made her way out of his room and closed the door behind her. Tears started to flow down her cheeks, there was no stopping them anymore.
.
Did this just happen? Had she really just done that? She broke up with Eddie, the love of her life. Well at least she thought he was, she kept trying to tell herself that she was gonna be able to move on from this. That everything was going to be okay. She hoped.
.
About 2 weeks more passed, She worked things out with her mother and focused all her energy from Eddie to the wedding (which pleased Nora), and her music. She still had a hard time working with Eddie on their music, it hasn't really gotten any easier but fake it till you make it as they say. And speaking of music, Loren and Eddie were now sitting at Jakes office discussing their tour.
.
Loren: "Wait did you just say Connect 3?"
Jake: "Yeah, you're a fan?"
Loren: "A fan? that's an understatement."
Eddie: "no kidding." He whispered in a harsh tone.
Jake: "What was that?"
Loren: "Seriously? Can you just grow up?"
Jake: "Woah, stop with the attitude you guys. What happened the past week that got you guys turn on eachother?"
Loren: "Nothin.."
Kelly: "Nothing? Is that all we get?"
Eddie: "Yeah, cause it's nothing."
Jake: "Mhm, just keep this nothing in check and figure it out before it comes back to bite us in the ass."
Kelly: "Can we get back to topic, please."
Loren: "Yes, please do."
Jake: "So Connect 3's tour starts in 2 months, they already have one opening act but they needed something more and felt that you guys were a good fit for them."
Eddie: "Who's the other opening act?"
Jake: "This girl from the summer music camp they used to go to, Michelle Torres."
Loren: "You mean Mitchie? The girl that ended up dating Shane Gray?"
Kelly: "Yeah, you heard any of her stuff?"
Loren: "yes, she's amazing. I heard she was thinking of dropping out of Juilliard for her career."
Kelly: "I know, I just hate that she's never gonna be our client since she has just signed with Connect 3's manager."
Jake: "She would still keep her base in New York which put's us in a disadvantage."
Kelly: "True.. so true."
Jake: "Anyway, here are the official papers for the tour if you think it sounds good I mean."
Eddie: "Yeah I sounds good to me."
Loren: "Me too, where do I sign?" She laughed.
.
Thinks were finally falling to place, the tour was finally real and with Connect 3 of all bands, both of their albums were roughly done, graduation is just a few weeks away and with that the soon to be perfect wedding and then the tour.
.
The only part of that wasn't good about all of this was the non-Eddie part of her life.. Cause him as a brother isn't what she had hoped it would be.
