Hey everyone, here is a new chapter, enjoy it and let me know what you think about it...
Confrontation
Eddie is all strained on his chair. He went almost crazy and out of his mind when Lia tried to get to Loren, but smiled when the bodyguards came into the picture. He looks at Max and smiles when Max only shakes his shoulders.
"Jeez" calls Jake, and looks to the other two men, the sweat is running across his forehead.
Max hits him on his back "Don't make it too hard for yourself Jake, all proceeds according to plan, so everything is going all right, just trust on Loren she know what she is doing." says Max proudly.
Jake looks puzzled at him. "Yep, the whole scenario is written by Loren, every slip is calculated, she's a natural." Says Max very proud.
But then he quickly turns his head back towards the television.
Loren thanks to your cooperation we get to see very private images of Eddie, who actually knows nothing.
Loren nods somewhat shy.
"That's right, I know that he wanted to keep this private, he did this especially for me, and out of love for me. But I can't forget the fact that he has done something magical out of love for me, and then another woman brings a story into the world he lay in bed with her, and that our relationship is fake. Eddie wouldn't absolutely not do something to me or his fans. But let's look at the images. They will speak for themselves."
If they take Loren close-up, she looks moved into the camera and whispers "sorry, I love you."
And blows a kiss to the camera.
Eddie chuckles and blushes.
She was so damn adorable.
It didn't bother her that the whole wide world could see this, and he actually didn't either, the world may know that he loves her dearly.
Max and Jake looked just moved. Then they start the recording of the band created with security cameras from the tattoo shop.
Loren has not got the time to see the images by her selves. Everyone sees Eddie with a sometimes pain left face while he is tattooed on his chest. But every time his gaze glide to the tattooed place you see a look full of love in his eyes and he's beaming with pride.
And finally, the showed the tattoo in close up.
Loren is completely in tears if she sees the pain on Eddie his face. She had been moved, that he had placed her name and his love for her with something eternal on his body. But she didn't really realized herself that tattooing yourself was so painfully. She feels all warm inside and her eyes seem to radiate and glow with pride. She loved that man so much, and now she know for sure that he loves her much to.
Also the audience is seated with teary eyes, but goes out of sentences if they read what he has tattooed. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere the audience starts singing
"There is something in the air, air, this is going to be a good night."
Loren glows of happiness, then she goes up and walks to the public. She starts to shake hands with the fans in gratitude. The crowd goes completely out, and sings ever harder.
On the other side of the city is a very emotional Eddie, his eyes are watery and he clenches his fist to keep them contained. He was so terribly proud of his girl and also grateful to see the reaction of the public. He saw his Loren there so grateful for the appreciation she receives for her honesty and sincerity. At first he was very afraid she would tell about the tattoo, because it was very private. But with her honesty, she probably had saved his career and purified his name.
And as Loren risked her career to save his, he would show his tattoo with pride and much love to the whole damn world. And he didn't care what anyone thought about it. He loved her with every fiber in his body.
Jake looks indignant to Eddie "I really don't believe this Eduardo. "But Eddie chuckles and pulls his V-neck shirt down. Jake shakes his head.
Eddie looks to Max "Pops I have to go to her and right NOW, no matter what she told you, I want to be with her." Max just grins, "Okay let the car comes."
Jake grab his laptop from his desk with him, to be able to watch the show on the road. If they just sit in the car, things go wrong at Julie's show.
Everyone is so merged into the singing of the public and Loren is still shaking hands of the grateful fans.
The show is equally out the air for the commercial break.
The bodyguards are standing by Loren with their face to the public to ensure that the fans stay calm.
Loren suddenly feels a hard yank on her tail. So hard that she had tears in her eyes, and she gets out of balance. Immediately someone beats an arm around her neck, and pressed really hard against someone behind her. She feels herself stiffen as she suddenly hears Lia screaming in her ear. But she gasps for air when Lia starts threatening her and swings with a knife in front of her face.
Loren is terrified, she really thought about everything what could happen, but she did not thought about this disturbing behavior.
When the show started after the commercial break there enabled on chaos.
Lia yells to Loren very ugly and rotten things while she keeps waving the knife, she totally freaked out. Loren keeps wisely her mouth in order not to worsen the behavior of Lia.
The audience is dead silent, because they understand that this can cost Loren's life.
Julie tries to talk on Lia, to calm her down, meanwhile Loren get some hand signals from one of the bodyguards, he let her know that she had to try to get Lia on a certain side of the studio.
Eddie almost couldn't breathe, and Max is completely upset, Jake tries to calm them both.
Eddie rubs his face. He had already know by now that Lia had to be psychologically, but he didn't saw it coming that she would go this far.
Eddie was distraught, he could no longer live without Loren, she was his oxygen, and she was his everything.
He was terrified and his heart ached of fear. Why was she so stubborn, why did she wanted to do this all by herself? But then he realizes that he had done this the same way if he had could help her out. And she also had taken care with everything that could have happened, but no one could think about this behaviorism. My god I just pray that this is going to end well.
Meanwhile Loren tried so good and bad as it goes to lure Lia into a corner of the studio.
Lia still screaming hysterically and accusing Loren for really bad things.
As they come closer to the dark corner, Loren sees some movement and recognize men in black. Then she suddenly get pushed forward and Lia is overpowered by six men in black.
Julie rushes to Loren and captures her, and takes her into her arms. Poor Loren is all shaking in fear. Soon Julie takes her to the chairs and gives her some water.
Loren her throat is all red and on her chest there is some blood where Lia wounded her with her nails. On her cheek there is blood because Lia hat given her a cut with the knife. If Loren has taken a few sips she cools down a bit, the public is still dead silent.
Lia is in the meantime transported to one of the changing rooms, where they wait for the police. You could still hear her yelling and screaming, and making threats to Loren.
Eddie finally dare to breathe again, but when he sees that Loren looked pretty bruised, and how she shakes with fear, he growls of madness. If he rubs down his face he feels that he has cried, and lets out a deep sigh of relief.
But he will only be really relieved if he has Loren in his arms.
Then he notices how Max rages. Max tries to open the car door, while Jake try to keep it closed, the car is stuck in a traffic jam, and he calls that he would be faster if he starts running. He continues to call that Loren needs him.
Then Eddie sees on the little screen that Nora walks to Loren and that they fall into each other arms and start crying.
Eddie shakes Max his arms and pointing to the screen.
Slowly Max come to rest. Jake shakes his head in indignation. It is incredible what an influence these 4 people have on each other. Now he understands what Traci referred to, because if you saw the love among these people, his relationship with Traci had been more a friendship with extras.
If Loren slowly calmed down, and Nora calmed down, the public starts to call.
"We love you Loren." And "we believe in Leddie, you can't fake this."
All of a sudden the public begins to call her name, and they start cheering and applause.
Loren starts slowly to smile and the audience reacts to it by cheering even harder, until Loren her so famous smile is back on her what scarred face.
Then Julie ask her gently if she want to continue, and Loren nods.
Julie indicates that they go to a commercial break so Loren, and everyone else can recover and freshen up. The public is standing and clapping out of royalty to Loren, because of her courage that she just wanted to continue after all the things that had happened.
Jake is amazed to see that Loren still want to go with the live interview. "Hell I knew she was tuff, when I experienced here with your disappearance, but this beats everything." And looks jealous to Eddie "which tattoo artist have you been, I believe I also want that tattoo. "He chuckles.
Eddie looks at him with a foolish look. "Hey that's my girl, and just a while ago you stated me for crazy, remember?" Grumbles Eddie. Then Jake looks warning "If you ever let her go, then you're crazy." Eddie nodded in agreement.
Julie walks to Loren when she returns from the dressing rooms and is standing backstage.
"Loren are you sure you want to do this?" Loren nods reassuring and squeezes her hands.
Then Julie walks back to her place at the chairs, Loren lets out a deep sigh and feels her hands still shaking from fear, but she had to go further with this interview so that everybody knows that you couldn't mess with Loren Tate.
The audience begins to scream and applause, when Julie calls out her name, Loren gives them all a sweet smile and she looks admiringly referred for their support.
Then the public gives her a standing ovation.
Loren bends thankful, and weeps a tear from her eye.
Then she sits down and the public becomes slowly quiet.
Dear, dear Loren, I admire you even more after today. I have deep respect that you still wanted to go true with this interview after the incident. I do believe that everyone must know now that it is really clear that Lia Gonzales has lied about all the things she told. But dear Loren this also had could go different, and that had go to expense of you and your career.
Loren nods.
I know. But I could not allow this. It's no fun if each highlight from your life, can be so easy put down by someone you event really know.
Yesterday was for me a day out of a fairy tale and then suddenly someone shouts that it's all fake.
I just started in this business and it is not easy, your life is on the street, and then I'm also head over heels fell in love with Eddie Duran. But if you ask me to choose between my career and my relationship with Eddie, I choose for Eddie. I just finished my exams, and I have an authorization for Brown, my first choice was to study for lawyer, so I had planned to try the music for 1 year, if it wouldn't work out I would still be going for a study on Brown.
Eddie at the opposite is already for years in this business, and no thanks to his parents but by his own bet. He has worked extremely hard to get this far, so I find that he earned it more to stand on the stage as I am.
How would Eddie find it if you would give up the music.
Loren smiles.
"I can't speak for him, but if someone after a relationship of 1 month put my name on his heart, he will not let me fall because I will stop with the music business, don't you think?
The audience laughs and also Julie has a big smile on her face.
You indicated to us, your be willing to sing a song for us.
The audience begins to cheer. "
"After all the support I have received from you all today, this is the least I can do. I hope everything is going well, because I have only completed this number today, and I want to dedicate this song especially to Eddie."
Loren walks to the waiting piano. She sits down and tries somehow to relax.
Her neck and shoulders feel sore after the attack of Lia. And her hands wouldn't stop shaking.
She has warmed her voice up earlier because the fear was that her throat could have be damaged by they attack of Lia. This is the last thing she needed to do, the end was almost nearby.
She is tired and devastated by all the things that happened with Lia. She longs for Eddie's his arms around her, and she just wanted to tell him how much she loved him.
