Falling Into You. A Hollywood Heights Story.
Chapter 25. Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.
1 month after Loren and Eddie's night together
"You're still not gonna let me touch you, are you?"
"That would be right, Eddie"
"It's been an entire month! No hugs, or kissing. I'm not suggesting what you think I am. I just thought you'd be happier about what happened that night"
"I was happy, Eddie. But, I just don't want to do it again. It wasn't right. I wanted to wait, until my wedding night"
"Then why would you do it then?" he shouted.
"I don't know, I felt pressured"
"I don't understand how you felt pressured, Lo. I asked you kindheartedly if that's what you wanted, and you were fine with it!"
"Well, now I'm not sure if that was the right choice," she said, heading towards the door.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he said as he noticed her, about to leave. "Where are you going?" he said getting up and running toward her. He tried to put his hands around her waist and she punched him in the face. "What the hell was that for Loren?" he said holding his nose, which was throbbing.
"I'm sorry I did that, but I don't want to stay here right now. Things aren't really right between us right now, and I don't want to be stuck here, fighting with you."
"So, just stay here and we'll talk, like the adults we are Loren"
"Fine," she said heading over to the couch.
Why was she being so difficult about this? Eddie thought. Loren seemed completely ready on the night they had gotten the house, so what had changed? "Tell me what you're thinking"
There was silence for a minute and she finally said, "I don't know what I'm thinking Eddie. I feel like I totally hate your guts right now, but at the same time, you know that I could never hate you. You know how much I love you, but maybe it's just not enough anymore"
"Hey, don't say that. You don't know that for sure Loren"
"I don't know. Maybe we should take a break for a week or so, Eddie. I just need to clear my head and then I'll be able to actually talk to you without wanting to punch you in the face again. I just need to go home, Eddie" she confessed, starting to cry.
"Loren, it's okay. You just stay here, and I'll go back to the penthouse for a while, okay?"
"Thank you Eddie"
"No problem Loren. I just wish this hadn't happened the way it had" he paused, "I just don't understand how we got to this position"
"I know you don't Eddie, and I don't either, but that's what happened, and we have to go through things like this. I'm so sorry, Eddie"
"I think it's best if I go now" he admitted, even though his heart was telling him to never leave her sight. "So, we're broken up?" he asked stepping closer to her, wanting to kiss her one last time.
"Yeah, we're broken up" she said and at that moment, she ran into his arms, and her lips crashed onto his.
Five minutes, Eddie left the house they had just bought together and headed back to his penthouse, feeling completely and utterly responsible for everything that had happened today. Everything that caused the breakup of the new MK.
A/N: So I know I haven't updated in about a month, and this is probably a crappy chapter, becuase it's so short, but I didn't know how to do this chapter- so, if you don't like this I'm really sorry. But for those of you who did like it, thanks for reading and hopefully I can think of some new ideas for chapter 26. I'm such a terrible person for never writing.. lol. Well, if you have anything, just let me know! Thanks!
