Chapter 37 – Australia
Loren was sitting in one of the seats in the arena reading while Eddie was doing sound check. She was sitting sideways so her feet were in the arm next to her. Eddie was talking to Jake when he glanced over and saw Loren flipping a page in her book. She was biting her lip which always made Eddie go crazy for some reason. Jake smacked Eddie on back of the head.
Eddie jumped, "Jake what was that for?!"
Jake smirked at Eddie's reaction. "Well next time don't ignore me. I swear Eddie every time Loren is in the room it's like you have blinders on!"
Loren looked up at the sound of her name and saw Eddie rubbing the back of his head while Jake raised his eyebrows. "What's going on? Jake did you hit my fiancé?"
Jake looked over at her and folded his arms, "Well if you would stop distracting him I wouldn't have to hit him!"
Loren looked at him weirdly. "What are you talking about? I am just sitting here reading!"
Jake rolled his eyes. "Yeah but you do that thing."
Loren's face was a mask of confusion. "What thing?"
Jake sighed in frustration. "She really doesn't see the effect she has on you does she?"
Eddie laughed and shook his head. Loren narrowed her eyes. "Well if I am such a distraction I will just go."
Eddie jumped up; "Nope!" he wrapped his arms around her tightly as she stood up. She rested her hands on his chest and bit her lip and raised her eyebrows trying not to smile. "You do know about that thing you do!"
Loren laughed, "Well how else am I supposed to get your attention if I don't do that?" Loren kissed him softly before she pulled away and sat back down.
"You really have a devious mind don't you?" Loren looked up and smirked at Jake's expression. Jake just shook his head and threw her something. Loren looked down and saw a white iPhone in her hand.
"What is this for?" She was looking at the phone in surprise she already had a phone back at home.
"I am sick of people trying to contact you through me! You need to also be at least keeping in touch with your fans. Now tell people to quit calling me! Oh and Eddie we are done for today you two get out of here!" Loren and Eddie laughed at Jake's exasperation with them.
Loren stood up to leave. She was absorbed in her new phone as they walked out. Eddie grabbed Loren's shoulders before she crashed into a row of chairs. He guided her out, Loren didn't even notice as they kept walking.
…...
Ian smiled as he watched Mel talking to his parents. He was amazed at how accepting they had been of Mel. They had never liked any of the other girls he had brought home, probably because they weren't exactly girlfriends. They were just girls he would hang out with until he got bored. But he could actually see a future with Mel. It was different with her, she was so unique and special and even his family could see that.
"Hey everyone how's it going?" Everyone jumped up to welcome Eddie. Ian's mom Sam seemed to be the happiest.
"Eddie how have you been? You haven't visited us in so long!" Sam smacked his arm lightly.
Eddie smiled, "I'm sorry Sam I have been really busy. Oh I would like you all to meet my fiancé Loren Tate." Eddie pulled Loren by the hand until she was out in full view. Ian had to admit she looked stunning. She had her long brown hair pulled up in a messy ponytail and she had on white short shorts and a sparkly purple tank top and purple vans. Sam pulled her into a tight hug.
"Fiancé?! I can't believe you are engaged! She is gorgeous Eddie." Sam smiled as she pulled away from Loren.
Loren blushed shyly at her comment. "Thank you."
Eddie introduced her to everyone. Ian's younger brother Dylan seemed to have a little crush on Loren. He was only nineteen Loren's age, but Ian wasn't too happy that he was following Loren around like a puppy. "Dylan can I talk to you?" Dylan looked at him weirdly but nodded. He followed Ian as he walked up the stairs.
…
Max looked over at Grace who looked like she was ready to pop. They were sitting in the waiting room at the Doctor's office. Max grabbed her hand and kissed it softly. Grace looked up and smiled. She had been in a lot of pain the last few weeks and this was the soonest they could get in to see the doctor. "Grace Duran?" Max helped Grace stand up and led her into the patient room.
After the doctor had come in and checked her out, he came back in and sat down to talk to them both. "So after my evaluation and the pain you have been saying you are having I think you need to be put on bed rest, preferably here at the hospital since you are due really soon just so we can keep an eye on you."
Grace sighed not to thrilled about the idea, "When do I need to check in?"
"We can check you in now just get into the wheelchair and follow me." Grace sat down in the wheelchair as Max pushed her down the hall following the doctor. Once grace was settled he decided he should probably text Loren since Jake had gotten her a new phone.
"Hey Lo thank goodness you finally got a new phone. You haven't been too busy for your old man have you?"
"Of course not pop! You must think I am crazy! How are things at home?"
"Grace just got put on bed rest at the hospital until the baby is born."
"Oh no! Is everything alright?"
"Yeah everything is fine. She has just been having some pain so they want her to be watched."
"Okay just keep us updated. Eddie says hi."
"Hello son thank you for keeping my daughter away from her father!"
"Dad! I haven't done anything! It was all Loren."
"Uh huh talk to you both soon."
…...
"What's up Ian?"
"Dylan I don't like this little crush you have on Loren." Ian raised his eyebrows at Dylan who glared.
"I don't know what you are talking about Ian…" Dylan looked at Ian innocently who threw his hands in the air in frustration. Dylan sighed, "Look if Loren is engaged to Eddie you shouldn't be worried about my little crush."
Ian glared at him. "Just back off and stop following her around like a puppy… Unless you want the crap beat out of you by Eddie." Ian walked out, with an irritated Dylan following him.
They walked downstairs, Dylan noticed Loren leaning against the counter talking to Sam with Eddie standing right behind her with his arms wrapped around her.
Sam saw they way Eddie held Loren and smiled. "So how did the two of you meet?"
Eddie smiled, "Loren was in my song writing contest."
"Oh yeah I heard that you won his contest! You both are really big here in Australia."
Loren looked at Eddie. "Wait we met before then!"
Eddie looked at her confused, "We did?"
Loren sighed and shook her head. "I can't believe you don't remember. I went to your dad's club opening with Mel, and you came out of the club upset and we met."
Eddie looked at her surprised. "That was you?!"
Loren looked at him like he was crazy. "Yes! How did you not know that?"
Eddie put his hands up in defense, "Hey I was pretty upset that night, and you can't blame me for not remembering everything that happened!"
Loren smiled, "yeah you were pretty distraught."
"All that proves was we were meant to be together."
Loren smiled brightly as Eddie gave her a kiss. Same and Mel both said awe at the same time. Ian slapped Dylan on the shoulder. "You were right I don't have anything to worry about." Dylan glared at Ian as he walked backwards towards Mel with a smirk on his face.
…
Eddie's phone started ringing. "It's Jake I got to take this." He gave Loren a kiss on the cheek as he walked out to answer the call.
Loren sighed as she sat down on the couch next to Mel. Dylan came over and sat down next to Loren. He sat so close Loren felt a little uncomfortable. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"So love, why don't you tell me about yourself?" Loren turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows. Eddie walked in and folded his arms.
Mel laughed, "See what happens when you leave this gorgeous girl alone?"
Eddie grabbed Loren's arm and pulled her off the couch close to him. "That was Jake he needs me back down at the arena so I can get everything done before the concert tonight."
Loren nodded, "Okay I will come with you." Eddie smiled and gave her a kiss. They said goodbye to everyone before they walked out.
Mel turned to Dylan and smirked, "Awe you just got turned down. I guess that Aussie accent doesn't work on everyone." Ian laughed and gave Mel a fist bump. Dylan glared at them and walked upstairs.
…
Eddie ran out on stage. The audience screamed when they saw him, "Hey everyone! Wow it's great to be back here! I know you all know my fiancé Loren Tate!" The audience screamed he looked off stage at Loren who was looking at him strangely. "Why don't we get Loren out here to open for me?" The audience screamed again. "Loren get out here!"
Loren walked out on stage. She was still wearing her white short shorts and purple tank top and vans from earlier. She smacked him softly as he hugged her. He handed her a microphone as he stepped back letting her sing. "Okay guys this is a new song! Hope you guys like it!"
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up onboard with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
Let me hold your crown, babe
The audience screamed at the new song. "Thanks guys!" Loren gave Eddie a hug before she walked off stage.
"Wasn't she amazing guys?" The audience cheered as he started to sing.

Eddie smiled, "I love you too babe."
