Back to the story…


Two weeks later:

Tate House:

Loren and Eddie have gotten closer in these past two weeks, everyone knows they're dating and Mel yelled at Loren for not calling her on the same night they started going out. They made up a few hours later, and forgot that they fought in a few days. Nora was at work while Loren was cooking breakfast in the kitchen then there was a knock on the door. She went to the door and opened it, it was Mr. Stephens. He smiled and said.

Mr. Stephens: "Good morning Loren."

Loren: "Hi Mr. Stephens, would you like to come in?"

Mr. Stephens: "No, I just want you to come by the office later on so you can meet someone."

Loren: "You know you could've called instead of coming all the way here."

Mr. Stephens: "I couldn't, it would be easy to trace. When you come, don't bring your phone, it's a security matter."

Loren laughed nervously: "Who am I meeting, why so secretive?"

Mr. Stephens: "Loren, please, just trust me."

Loren sighed: "I'll be there."

Mr. Stephens smiled and nodded then he left and Loren closed the door behind him. Loren walked to the kitchen and put her breakfast on a clean plate then set it down on the table. She picked up her fork and was about to eat the scrambled eggs but there was another knock on the door. Loren sighed, she dropped her fork on the plate.

"You've got to be kidding me." Loren mumbled to herself as she got up and walked to the door. She opened it to be greeted by a soft kiss from Eddie. She pulled back and smiled, but she was still annoyed that he interrupted her breakfast.

Loren: "Hello to you to."

Eddie smiled and gave her another kiss.

Eddie: "Can I come in?"

Loren: "Sure." She stepped to the side then closed the door after Eddie came in.

Eddie: "Something smells good."

Loren: "Yeah, I'm done making breakfast."

Eddie: "Please tell me you didn't eat yet."

Loren: "I was about to, but someone interrupted me." Loren said in a fake annoyed tone.

Eddie smiled and decided to play with her: "Sorry, I know how much you love eating."

Loren gasped and hit his arm: "If I'm so fat, maybe you should be with someone else."

Eddie: "Nah, I'd rather just get fat with you. Did you make an extra dish?"

Loren: "I did, but I'm not sure if you deserve it."

Eddie: "Please? I'm sorry I interrupted your breakfast."

Loren: "And about calling me fat?"

Eddie (Joking): "I'm sorry for saying it, but that doesn't mean it's not true."

Loren: "EDDIE?!"

Eddie: "Kidding, kidding. I'm sorry."

Loren: "One more comment from you and you're out of here."

Eddie stayed silent.

Loren: "Good."

Loren and Eddie ate breakfast in silence. Loren was washing the dishes then there was a knock on the door.

Loren: "Can you get that?" Loren asked as she was washing the dishes.

Eddie: "Sure." He went to the door and opened it to see a girl with blonde hair and her hair was in a ponytail, and she couldn't keep her eyes off of his chest and she was smiling and it looked like she was thinking. Eddie started getting uncomfortable and she didn't stop staring at his chest. So he started to speak.

Eddie: "Hi, uh, how can I help you?" She snapped back to reality when she heard Eddie's voice.

Person: "Oh, I'm looking for Loren, is she here?"

Eddie: "Yeah, one sec."

Eddie went to the kitchen and saw Loren was done washing the dishes and she was wiping her hands on the towel. She saw him and put the towel down then said.

Loren: "Who was it."

Eddie: "I don't know, it's a girl and she wants to see you."

Loren: "Oh, ok, thanks."

Eddie nodded and followed her to the door, she saw who it was, then smiled and hugged her. Eddie was confused, he never saw this girl before, so how did she know Loren? Loren pulled back from the hug and said.

Loren: "Hey Lia, what are you doing here? I thought you moved to New York once you graduated."

Lia: "I did, but I came to visit Jeremy and decided to stop by and see how you were doing."

Loren: "I'm doing good, found a good job and found a boyfriend, what about you? How are you?"

Lia: "I'm doing good, great actually, I found a great nursing job and it pays well too, and all of the co-workers are really nice and the patients, they always complement us, I love it."

Loren: "I'm glad you're happy, I never got to thank you after you moved out. About what happened on your last day."

Lia: "Don't mention it, you're lucky you got a restraining order, people like him only serve a couple of days in jail."

Loren: "I know, but thank you, so much. If it weren't for you, who knows what might of happened."

Lia: "Don't worry, that was a long time ago, you don't have to worry about him anymore. He's in Providence and you're in LA."

Loren: "Alright, thanks again."

Lia Smiled: "Well, I better get going, Jeremy doesn't even know I'm here."

Loren: "I thought you told me Jeremy lived on your parents' farm in Ojai."

Lia: "He did, but since our parents died, they wanted him to become a doctor, so he saved up and I helped him to go to a college and study medicine. He's about to open a clinic, he lives in a apartment and he's looking for a house."

Loren: "Oh, ok."

Lia: "Listen, Loren, I really need to go now."

Loren: "Alright, drive safely." Lia smiled and gave Loren a hug then left, Loren closed the door when she left. She went to the kitchen and saw Eddie standing there casually, when he saw her come in, he had a look full of concern and worry.

Eddie: "What happened?"

Loren: "Oh, Lia was just telling me…"

She got cut off by Eddie: "Not that, what happened on her last day that you couldn't stop thanking her for?"

Loren wanted to change the subject: "Were you eavesdropping?"

Eddie (Serious): "Yes, I was, now stop tiptoeing around the subject and tell me what happened."

Loren sighed: "You're not going to drop this are you?"

Eddie: "No, I'm not, but only because I care about you and I care about what happens to you."

Loren: "Fine, sit down, this might take some time."

Eddie nodded and sat down on the chair of the dining table. Loren sat next to him and started to speak.

Loren: "I was walking home from college because my car was at the repair shop, it needed a new battery, while I was walking, I went into a dark neighborhood, then this guy puts his hand over my mouth and took me too this alley and he looked like he was about to rape me." She had tears rolling down her cheeks. "I was so scared, I kept crying and screaming but it was no use, he ripped my skirt off and when he was about to take my underwear off but we both heard something click, he turned around and we saw Lia holding a Beretta pistol and she was aiming it to his head. He didn't care, he took off my underwear and Lia shot his shoulder and ankle, he fell to the ground," She started sobbing and Eddie hugged her. "It was so scary, there was so much blood. I put my underwear on then ran to Lia and hugged her tightly and kept thanking her, we called the police and left. The next day I got a restraining order, he went to the hospital and got the bullets removed then was put in jail for a few days. It was Lia's last day and mines was a few weeks away, she gave me a gun to protect myself. The next morning is when she left, there was a knock on the door, the same guy came and pulled my hair and threw me on the couch, Lia forgot something, she came back and saw him, she was about to shoot him again but he was faster, he took her gun and was about to hit her, lucky for me, I'm a black belt, so I grabbed his arm and flipped him, Lia took a knife and started sticking it into his wound while I called the police, I informed the college on my situation and they decided that I would graduate early since I was way ahead of the rest of the people there thanks to my extra classes, so me and Lia packed up our stuff and went our separate ways, the police called me when I was about to board the plane and told me he was arrested, Lia doesn't know that. So, that's what happened."

Eddie was shocked that this happened, even more shocked that she was telling him now, but he understood. He kissed her passionately and she kissed back, they parted their mouths and their tongues started rubbing on each other, he pick her up but she pulled away, Eddie didn't need to ask, he knew what was going on.

Eddie: "Loren, I'd never hurt you, you know that right?"

Loren: "I know, but, I just talked about it and it brought back all of the memories and it makes me scared and worried."

Eddie: "It's fine, really." He put Loren down and smiled.

Loren: "Eddie, are you mad that I'm not ready?"

Eddie: "What? Of course not, it makes me respect you even more than I already do."

Loren smiled and gave him a soft kiss. She pulled away and said.

Loren: "I have a meeting I need to get ready for."

Eddie: "Alright, I'll see you later." Loren smiled and gave him a kiss.

Eddie walked to the door and opened it, he stepped out but held on to the knob, before he left, he said one more thing.

Eddie: "I love you." Eddie closed the door and walked to his car, Loren stood there shocked.

Loren: "Eddie, WAIT!" Loren ran to the door and opened it, but it was too late, he started driving off. Loren sighed and went in and closed the door, she fell on the couch and then she noticed something under the chair that Eddie was sitting on, she walked over to it, it was a rose. She picked it up and her name was carved on the stem of the rose, she smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek, she then said to herself, "He really does love me." She sniffed the rose then said, "I love him too." She loved this feeling, she's never been in love before, sure she loves her mom and Mel, but she never loved someone like this.

She got ready for the meeting that she was having with Mr. Stephens and this mystery guy. She looked in the mirror one more time to see if she looked presentable, she smiled and left.

Mr. Stephens Office:

Loren walked into the office, the windows were covered, she turned and saw a guy, he was wearing a suit and a long leather jacket, he looked familiar. She walked more into the office and saw Mr. Stephens in front of the guy.

Mr. Stephens: "Loren! You're here. This is Jeremy, Jeremy, this is Loren."

They shook hands and smiled politely at each other.

Loren: "Wait, I know you, you're Lia's sister. Is this who you wanted me to meet? A doctor?"

Mr. Stephens: "He's undercover as a doctor. He's a former spec ops soldier and now he's with the FBI."

Loren: "How do you know him?"

Mr. Stephens: "There's something no one knows about me, before I became a teacher, I was the chief of the FBI. Loren, you're meeting him because you will have access to all of their files, you'll be a lawyer with the information of the FBI, you call them and they'll arrest anyone you want in a few minutes, Jeremy here will be your guide, you start tomorrow."

Loren: "Does anyone know about this?"

Mr. Stephens: "No, and no one can know, promise me that you'll keep it a secret Loren."

Loren: "I promise. Bye."

She waved at them and left. When she got home, she lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. There was a knock on the door, she got up and saw Eddie holding a rose and had 'I Love You' carved on the stem. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. She pulled away and said.

Loren: "I love you too, so much that it hurts."

Eddie's heart melted when he heard her say that, he gave her a kiss full of passion and picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his torso, he stepped inside and closed the door with his foot, he dropped the rose and walked over to the couch and sat down with Loren on his lap. He pulled away and looked into her eyes while trying to catch his breath.

Eddie: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Loren shook her head: "No." She climbed of his lap and sat next him. "I don't know what's wrong with me."

Eddie: "Nothing's wrong with you, you just aren't ready, you can't force it and I won't make you." He looked into he eyes. "Just know that no matter what, I will always stick by you and I will always love you."

Loren: "I love you too. I have a song that I wanna show you."

Eddie: "A song?"

Loren: "Yeah."

Eddie: "Alright, let's hear it."

Loren went to her room and got her guitar then walked back to the living room and started to sing while strumming the guitar.

'Don't wanna let go
When there is so much more to say
Don't wanna go home
When there is a reason here to stay
So stay right here with me
Don't walk away

I can't shake it from my head
Now that you're inside my heart
I don't care how hard it gets
I've already come this far
Stars shine, brighter around you
And your love follows me where I used to hide
Just like the day that I found you
You're still standing by my side

When your heart is on empty
And it's beating out of time
Why don't you let me
Give you what's left of mine
Just stay right here with me
I won't leave you behind

I can't shake it from my head
Now that you're inside my heart
I don't care how hard it gets
I've already come this far
Stars shine, brighter around you
And your love follows me where I used to hide
Just like the day that I found you
you're still standing by my side

Don't stand behind me
But where you can blind me
Just stay here by my side

Stars shine, brighter around you
And your love follows me where I used to hide
Just like the day that I found you
you're still standing by my side

My side'

Eddie looked at Loren and said.

Eddie: "What are you trying to say?"

Loren: "I talked to Mr. Stephens, and I'm not leaving to travel around the world anymore."

Eddie couldn't get any words out of his mouth. He got up and picked Loren up and spun her around then gave her a kiss full of passion. They pulled away and it was getting late so Eddie had to leave, he gave her a kiss and told her he loves her then left. She went to her room and was inspired, she took her song book and started writing. She eventually stayed up all night writing a song and she finally finished it. She read through the lyrics one more time before going to sleep.

'Will you blindly follow me,
When I'm going, nowhere?
Will you keep your faith in me,
When I don't have a prayer?

You, you've got this hold on me,
Don't wanna be set free,
So keep me safe and sound right here with you,
You've got this hold on me,
And I am yours to keep,
Lock ourselves away from everything,
'Cause you've got this hold on me.

When there's nothing left to say,
Will you still be listening?
Will you help me stand up straight,
When I'm bent and breaking?

You, you've got this hold on me,
Don't wanna be set free,
So keep me safe and sound right here with you,
You've got this hold on me,
And I am yours to keep,
Lock ourselves away from everything,
'Cause you've got this hold on me.

When me world is turning cold and,
And the clouds come rolling in,
Stand beside in the storm when,
When the rain comes down again.

You, you've got this hold on me,
Don't wanna be set free,
So keep me safe and sound right here with you,
You've got this hold on me,
And I am yours to keep,
Lock ourselves away from everything,
'Cause you've got this hold on me,
Yeah you've got this hold on me.'

Loren decided that the lyrics couldn't get any better, she fell on the bed and immediately fell asleep. Nora came into Loren's room holding a cup of tea, she saw that she looked like she stayed up all night, she put the tea on Loren's desk then pulled the covers on top of her, she picked up the tea and switched off the lights, she held onto the door knob then said.

Nora: "Good night sweetie."

She closed the door and let Loren sleep peacefully.
