The Start of Working Things Out

Heyy guys! So I deleted all my Authors Notes and hopefully never have to make any more! For the longest time I couldn't log on and I don't know why but I finally am on! I hope everyone liked the last chapter and is looking forward to more!

Info: To guest- I've already had Eddie tell Loren about the kiss you can find that in Chapter 4: Eddie's Return Part: 1.

Where we left off…

Eddie: "It wasn't a mistake. I talked to Chloe too. I had driven to Fresno and she and Tyler were together and I asked her to just tell the truth and she said she would if I broke up with you. I just looked at her and then said to her "You will never know what love is." Loren looked at me with this crocked smile like it was funny but still really mean. "Why that face?"

Loren: "I would never expect that to come out of your mouth."

Eddie: "But what you don't understand is when someone messes with the person I love and keeps me from them I can get pretty mean." I said and then leaned in and kissed her. She smiled.

Loren: "I love you."

Eddie: "I love you too. Now continue." I said smiling.

Loren: "Well that leads up to the day of my concert. You're Dad just told me to stop worrying about you and just enjoy my night. And a little while before the concert that's when my dad showed up." Eddie just looked pissed when I said this. "Don't be mad your Dad had our back. Trent approached my mom first and then I walked in the room and just went off and Max tried to kick him about but my Mom wouldn't let him. Apparently she told him she wanted Trent to see everything he missed out on."

Eddie: "I don't understand why he keeps showing up now all the sudden?"

Loren: "Honestly me either."

Not tonight…

Loren: It was now getting very late and we had plans for tomorrow. Maybe tonight wasn't the night? "Eddie?"

Eddie: As Loren and I relax here and talk time just keeps passing and I realize how late it is and I know the big thing that we both want to happen is not gonna happen tonight. There's no way and no reason that it has to happen tonight. The moods not right and we've got things to do. There will come another time and I know that. "You don't have to say it; I know what you're thinking."

Loren: "Are you mad?" I said in a sad tone.

Eddie: "Hell no!" I smirked back in a defensive way.

Loren: "Don't yell at me!"

Eddie: "I'm sorry Loren. I didn't mean to its just that I never want you to think that. I'm so glad we had this talk tonight and did everything we did. There will come another time for this to happen. And I want it to be spontaneous, not planned."

Loren: "Sorry for thinking that way, I was just worried." I said laying my head on his lap and looking up at him as we lay on the couch.

Eddie: Leaning toward her as she lay down I whisper in her ear, "Don't ever be worried about that," and then my lips meet hers and that little kiss takes us into a complete make out session in which I wind up picking Loren up in my arms bridal style and taking her to the bed with me.

Keeps playing…

Mel: I'm just laying here in the hotel room on Ian's lap and all I can think about is Adam's text, "Sorry I ruined everything. I wanted to talk, but I see you have moved on. Was I the only one who cheated? Or was me getting caught just your way of not? Please just tell me the truth. We can talk if you want face-to-face, call or text. I don't care, but let me know by tomorrow because I'm leaving, for good. I'm going to NYU. I have enough credits to graduate already. Mel I'm sorry and I really do love you. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I guess this is GOODBYE." I just keep replaying his words in my mind, he sounded so cruel and made it out that I did something wrong. "Ian, I-I have to text him back. I can't sleep; his message just keeps playing in my mind."

Ian: "That's fine love. I totally understand, if you need helping figuring out what to say or just wanna talk I'm right here."

Mel: "Thank you so much for everything you've done!" I here Ian's you're welcome and I nod my head kiss him on the cheek and walk into the bedroom. I pull out my phone and start typing. After about 20 minutes I just can't think of what exactly I want to say. That's when my savior walks in. "Hey love," he says, "Need any help?" I respond simply "Yes…please."

Ian: "Can I read the message?" She hands me her phone and the message her high school "love" sent her just blows my mind. Who sends this shit to the woman they supposedly loved and then cheated on?! How can he even try to turn this around on Mel! I'm so pissed off at this guy right now and I know Mel can tell. "I-I don't even know what to say about that message it's got me so mad but I definitely know what to say back," I say as Mel gives me those "go ahead" eyes and I start typing. "I never cheated Adam! I'm not as dumb as you!" Mel was reading over my shoulder then nudged me and took her phone and began typing furiously. "I love, loved you damnit! Ian came around when I asked him to. You left me with no one! He is here now, when I need him not you! So what I took a few pictures with him, I didn't get plastered and make out with anyone like you! I had nothing to get caught on. I can't believe you can be so cruel to me. You're just pissed that I went to New York without you and didn't come talk! I'm so happy you can graduate because Adam I never wanna see you again! If you think or well thought you had any chance of me talking to you in person you just lost it with that text!" SEND! Mel was pissed and I didn't know exactly how to calm her down so I just stroked her hair back and touched her chin lightly and lifted it up so she was looking right in my eyes. "Love that took a lot out of you and you look exhausted. Why don't you go to sleep here and I'll be right on the couch if you need me?" She looked at me then at the bed and back at me. That's when she did the unthinkable.

Two messages…

Tyler: Eddie hadn't responded back yet, but I definitely feel good about this. I know it's so messed up that I was in that car, but I hope Eddie can forgive me. I need a friend in the business who can help me out and well, I just need a friend. I know it's getting late, err well early but all I can thing about is how bad I want to fix my life. Ya know reading this script really makes me realize that just because you say you've changed doesn't mean people will believe you, you have to prove it FOREVER. And as I'm sitting here thinking this my phone goes off twice, two messages. I reach for my phone to see who has text me and I'm just shocked by the first message I read from a number I got a while back ago.

Coffee…

Max: It was about 4:30 when I woke up. I never really did sleep well in hotels. That's why I have houses everywhere. I got up to use the restroom and when I came back Nora was gone. That's when I heard a noise in the kitchen part of the hotel room. I walked in to find Nora up making coffee. "Already?"

Nora: I wasn't surprised by Max's voice because I heard his footsteps, "Yes, already. I'm up, you're up and I'm guessing that you don't like tea like your son so here ya go." I joked handing him the coffee.

Max: "Ahhh yes, Eddie told me that story. That's the day you came to the bar and told me that Loren had spent the night with Eddie and you were so worried." I said making fun of Nora.

Nora: "Shhh. I had a right to worry, but you calmed me down." I said as I kissed him on the cheek.

Max: Taking a sip of coffee a light bulb went off in my head. "Nora, do not freak out, but don't you think once Loren graduates she will…"

Nora: "Max, don't you dare say it! I know exactly what you're thinking and we are not talking about it!"

Max: "But if…it does happen that means less renovations need to be made."

Nora: "Nope, sorry Max but my baby's gonna need a room to sleep in and I'm not getting rid of her room. I already was thinking of a plan."

Max: "And what' that?"

Nora: "Well, I have this huge backyard that we hardly use so…" I said and then my phone rang.

That's it for now! Will Leddie just go to sleep? What's the unthinkable think Mel does? Who text Tyler and what does it say, and what about the second text? Who's calling Nora? Think about it until the next chapter comes out.

I know this is a short chapter for me, but I need to get some readers back and gain some new ones so I figure what better way than to leave you all wanting more?! Please, I'm begging you to review! I want to know what everyone thinks, whether you are a guest or a member!
