Chapter 28 – God Only Knows
"Thank you Mel for doing this…"
Mel smiled, "Of course Phil. What kind of sister would I be if I didn't help out my brother? Plus Olivia needs some mighty Mel in her life, got to beat that Adriana out of her, metaphorically speaking of course."
Phil laughed as they finally got Olivia situated in the crib Adam put together. "I don't know if I'm cut out for this father stuff Melissa…"
Mel looked at Phil and glared, "That's the exact thing my birth mom said after she had me. She thought I would be better off without her… And I was… but Olivia is different she needs her daddy Phil. I will be here to help you got family here." Phil swallowed and nodded, "Have you told mom and dad yet?"
Phil sighed and rubbed his face, "I would prefer to put off that lecture as long as I can."
Mel smirked, "Phil you are twenty-two years old you don't have to be afraid of mommy and daddy anymore."
He rolled his eyes at Mel's sarcastic tone and looked down at his sleeping daughter feeling a little more confident, but definitely scared for the future.

Loren looked in the full length mirror and saw tears in her eyes. She was wearing her mother's wedding dress. Katy walked up behind her and smiled.
"You look beautiful."
Loren flushed, "Do you think she would be okay with me wearing it?"
Katy squeezed her arms, "I don't think she would have it any other way. Hold on I have something for you." Katy left the room and walked in a second later with a box. "I have a gift for you. It's been in my family for generations and I want you to have it."
Katy opened the box and revealed a stunning sterling silver chain with a tear drop shaped diamond surrounded by blue sapphires. She then noticed some diamond music notes. She touched them.
Katy smiled, "I may have added those. Because music is what binds all of us together."
Loren smiled, "Oh Katy I love it, thank you!"
Katy beamed; she took out the necklace and undid the clasp. Loren lifted up her hair as Katy fastened it around her neck. "See now you are perfect."
Loren looked in the mirror and smiled. She saw Nora when she looked in the mirror but now she also saw Katy. She really was perfect.
…
Eddie walked into the apartment and saw Loren reclined on the couch reading a book. She had noticed him yet so he took the moment to admire the view. He couldn't believe that this girl was his. Losing himself in his thoughts he remembered the day he had first met Loren, when he found out she had cancer and he thought he was going to lose her, and then the second time after she gave him her engagement ring back and he thought he finally had lost her for good. For a split second he had thought losing her to death would be easier to handle then seeing her and not being able to be with her. He felt his heart drop in his stomach at the thought.
He shook his head shaking his thoughts away. Walking over to Loren he set the book down and kissed her deeply.
Loren pulled away and smiled, "What was that for?"
Eddie shook his head as he lifted her legs as he sat down, setting them back on his lap. "Nothing… I just love you."
Loren's smiled broadened, "I love you too." Loren sat up and pulled the necklace out from beneath her shirt. "Your mom gave me this today. She said it has been in her family for generations, she added the music notes saying it is music that binds us all together."
Eddie smiled; he reached over touching the necklace. "It looks perfect on you. I'm glad she gave it to you… She really loves you… She never would have done that for Chloe."
Loren stiffened at the mention of Chloe, "Yeah well Chloe isn't exactly a ray of sunshine."
Eddie laughed softly, "Yeah I guess you got a point there. I'm just glad you came into my life."
Loren blushed and instantly relaxed at his words. She leaned up and kissed him softly. "You really are a smooth talker."
Eddie laughed, "Well have you met Papa Max? I think that would explain it."
Loren pursed her lips, "Oh I don't know if you are as skilled as Max…"
Eddie cocked an eyebrow, "Oh really?"
Loren giggled as Eddie threw her over his shoulder.
…
Eddie was scheduled to do a concert in Central Park. Loren was standing backstage amazed at how many people where lined up to get in.
Loren turned to look at Eddie who was getting hooked up with a wireless mic. "How famous are you?"
Eddie laughed at Loren's bewilderment. "I'm not that famous."
Loren scoffed, "Oh don't get all modest on me now. That's definitely not the Eddie Duran I know."
Eddie laughed; he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips before rushing up on stage.
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming out today! I'm going to start off with one of my favorites. I think you all can sing along to this one."
Loren smiled and the crowed screamed at the familiar tune.
I miss the taste of the sweet life
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
All the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause all these strangers come over me
Now I can't get over you
No I just can't get over you
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
All the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh
Oh I was there for you
Oh In you darkest times
Oh I was there for you
Oh In your darkest nights
Oh I was there for you
Oh In you darkest times
Oh I was there for you
Oh In your darkest nights
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
All the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
Eddie waited for the audience to calm down before he spoke, "This is a new song. It hasn't been released yet and you guys will be the first to hear it. It's called 'God Only Knows'"
I've always said I could never fall
Because I love them all
My heart don't race when they try to call
Because I love them all
But she got me stuttering
Like w-w-what can I do because I can't control it
She got me hovering
Above the ground and I don't know what to do
God only knows
How much I need you
I could explode
If I can't breathe you
I'm on the ropes
5 4 3 2
'Cause you're the one
I guess I'm done
That's how it goes
Where will I be without you yeah?
God only knows
There ain't a crime I wouldn't do for you
Let's make our getaway,
These diamonds shine but not as bright as you
I'd throw them all away
I'm here surrendering
And I give up, throwing up my hands around ya
I can't remember when
I felt like the way I fell for you (c'mon)
God only knows
How much I need you
I could explode
If I can't breathe you
I'm on the ropes
5 4 3 2
'Cause you're the one
I guess I'm done
That's how it goes
Where will I be without you yeah?
God only knows
(God only knows, baby)
Yeah yeah yeah
Where will I be without you yeah?
God only knows
When you touch me (damn, girl) with your body
And all that I can think is how to lose our clothes
What's next?
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
How much I need you
I could explode
If I can't breathe you
I'm on the ropes
Lik 2
'Cause you're the one
I guess I'm done
That's how it goes
Where will I be without you yeah?
God only knows
(God only knows
Where will I be without you yeah?
God only knows)
