Thank you for the great reviews, as a thank you here is chapter 35
Love conquers all
Eddie, Max and Jake just running indoor as Loren sits down behind the piano. Nora falls straight into Max his arms, when she is in his arms, she comes to the awareness of what had happened and she starts to cry. Max gently whispers into her hair to reassure her.
Eddie willingly would prefer to walk straight to Loren and to take her in his arms to. But Jake could get him by his arm before he had the chance to go to her.
On the camera screen he sees the smile on her face, but also the tired look in her eyes eludes him.
But just then she begins to play.
(They don't know about us cover by Maddie Wilson)
People say we shouldn't be together.
We're too young, to know about forever.
But I say, they don't know what they're talking about.
'Cause this love, is only getting stronger.
So I don't want to wait any longer.
I just want to tell the world that you're mine.
Oh, they don't know about the things we do.
They don't know about the ''I love you'd''.
But I bet you if they only knew.
They would just be jealous of us.
They don't know about the up all nights.
They don't know I've waited all my life.
Just to find a love that feels this right.
Baby they don't know about, they don't know about us.
One touch, and I was a believer.
Every kiss, gets a little sweeter.
It's getting better, keeps getting better all the time.
They don't know about the things we do.
They don't know about the ''I love you's''.
But I bet you if they only knew.
They would just be jealous of us.
They don't know about the up all nights.
They don't know I've waited all my life.
Just to find a love that feels this right.
Baby they don't know about, they don't know about us.
They don't know how special you are.
They don't know what you've done to my heart.
They can say anything they want, cause they don't know about us.
They don't know what we do best.
That's between me and you, our little secret.
But I wanna tell 'em, I wanna tell the world.
That you're mine.
they don't know about the things we do.
They don't know about the ''I love you's''.
But I bet you if they only knew.
They would just be jealous of us.
They don't know about the up all nights.
They don't know I've waited all my life.
Just to find a love that feels this right.
Baby they don't know about,
they don't know about the things we do.
They don't know about the ''I love you's''.
But I bet you if they only knew.

Just to find a love that feels this right.
Baby they don't know about, they don't know about us.
As the last notes sound the public goes completely out of their roof. Everyone is giving once again a standing ovation to Loren. Then Eddie can't keep it longer and walks over to Loren.
He almost pulls her from behind the piano and pulling her in his arms. "I'm so glad I can hold you in my arms, I love you Babe. "He visited whispers in her ear, "I love you too sweetheart." She whispers trying to keep her head up.
Gently he caresses the cut on her cheek and then he gently slips exploring with his hand over her throat.
Loren looks at him reassuring. "All will be well, now you're here." She says gently while she caresses his cheek, because she sees that he is terribly strained. Then he pulls Loren and caresses her soft lips with his, and kisses her as if it is the last time. They both scare as Julie softly taps on their shoulders. They both blush knowing that they were once again ended up in their own little world while they are standing in a fully studio with lots of people and camera's.
But the public just find it amazing and gives them both a standing ovation...
Then Julie invites them both to come and sit for the closing.
"Dear Loren first of all I would like to thank you for your cooperation on this very exciting show, and for your great song you just have sung for us."
Loren nods grateful.
"Exciting you can call it that for sure. I'm glad you've given me the opportunity to tell our side of the story."
Loren picks up in the meantime, Eddie's hand, and smiles at him. He smiles proudly and full of love back to her, and winks.
"Eddie, nice to have you here again after such a short time, though I had rather seen you in other circumstances.
Eddie nods sighing. And looks yet again delivered to Loren.
"Eddie I almost don't dare to ask but we would love to see the tattoo?"
Loren chuckles and then looks to Eddie. She nods gently as if he needed her permission first.
"My girlfriend gives her permission so here it is." He pulls his shirt gently down so that they can see only the tattoo. The public gives a big applause. Eddie blushes a bit, what brings out Loren her biggest smile. He kisses gently her cheek, what makes the public just to responds more hysterically.
"Eddie a tattoo is a permanent decoration for life, how did you get to do this, because you only know each other for 1 month?"
Eddie nods understanding.
"I do understand what you mean, but I've never loved someone so much as I love Loren, she is the rhythm of my heart and my music, she's my buddy, my friend, my love, my muse she is my oxygen. She is the woman with whom I want to marry, and she is the mother of my children. And don't ask me why, this is just how I feel."
"I have already experienced you together, and also separately and I must say that your love is very strong. I hope that you guys get a little quietly time, so you guys can enjoy that with each other."
Loren and Eddie both grateful nod. If they get up Eddie immediately wraps his arm around Loren's waist and keeps her protective against him.
When they had said their goodbyes to Julie they quickly walk towards Nora and Max, who both immediately take Loren in their arms.
Eddie suddenly sees that Loren gets very pale, he quickly pulls Loren in his arms, at that time her eyes rolling by her eye sockets and she passed out.
Eddie quickly picks her bridal style and runs with her to the dressing room. There he lays her very gently and lovingly on the couch and goes down on to his knees beside her. The rest comes running behind him.
Gently he caresses the loose peaks of hair out of her face. She looked so vulnerable.
Lia still had the opportunity to get her pretty bruised. The cut on her cheek was looking deep. And her throat was all red. Also her chest sat under the scratches, by Lia her nails. Suddenly the tears dribble down his cheeks. Who could do something to his precious and lovely Loren?
Suddenly he is realizing how his love is threatened, and how it could turn out so different.
Loren comes very slowly back to her senses, she sees Eddie's concerned face with tears on his cheeks.
She gently rubs his tears from his face. He lifts her back into his arms and walks with her to the car, the only thing what he wanted was to bring her safe back home.
Nora wants to run behind them but Max grabs her by the arm and pulls her back. "Let them go, he will take care for her." She nods understandingly to him. The car was already waiting, the driver quickly opens the back door once he sees Eddie come running with Loren in his arms.
"As soon as possible to home. "Calls Eddie.
The driver nods, he quickly get back in the car, and within a minute their on the way. Eddie keeps Loren close to him on his lap.
They say nothing, they just needed each other's presence. They look deep into each other's eyes and hold their foreheads against each other, then suddenly both had tears running over their cheeks. They cry together, they take each other into a warm embrace, they both needed so badly.
When they arrive at home Eddie immediately walks with Loren in his arms to the bedroom. She looks at him questioningly, "Babe I really want you to take some rest. She still had the chance to beat you pretty well, and don't forget that your fainted. I will get you 2 painkillers, make some warm milk for you and then you go to sleep, okay "he looks at her delivered.
She smiles and nods "you are so sweet. "She whispers. "Lo after all you have endured today, this is the least thing I can do for you. But it could have cost you your music career babe? "Loren shakes her head "the most important thing in life are you for me." He kisses her cheek softly "you're the most important thing for me to babe." If he gets up he gestures Loren to lie down, she laughs but feels very tired after all the events from this day.
She rapidly changed into a shirt of Eddie and is just crawling under the covers as Eddie comes in with a glass of water, pain killers and warm milk.
He watches if she drinks everything and took her pills, then he sits down on the bed and she lay her head in his lap.
He caresses gently her back and she slowly drops away into a deep sleep.
Then Eddie heard the house phone.
Eddie writhes gently under her out without to wake her and puts her head softly on his pillow. He presses softly a kiss on her cheek and runs to the living room.
If he pick up the phone and heard Jeffrey his question, he responds laughing "send them up, and Jeffrey, put them right away on the list they are always welcome."
He opens the door and soon after that, a total hysterical Mel comes running out of the elevator.
Eddie fast holds his finger against his mouth and gestures her to be quiet.
Miraculously Mel reacts immediately. Eddie embraces her right away and eases her.
"Everything is well Mel, she is quite shocked but she is just sleeping. "Mel nods with tears in her eyes, happy to know that all is well with Loren.
Then Adam and Eddie gives each other and manly Hugh end clap each other on the back.
If they sit in the bank Eddie tells the whole story, Mel sigh and shakes her head "unbelievable, this is the Rock star life Eddie?" she asks still not believing the whole circumstance.
Eddie chuckles "Not weekly, normally then, but you would start thinking after all these recent happenings. "And rubs his tired face.
"Eddie if you want us to go, you just say though, we now know that it goes well with Loren." Says Adam, Eddie looks apologetic and shakes right away no. "I think its fine that you are here, I understand that you two absolutely want to speak Loren self, and I actually do need some distraction till she wakes up." Both Adam and Mel watching him questioningly.
"I would now like to get the largest knife from the kitchen, and go to hunting that stupid woman and personally edit her with that knife." Eddie spits out of anger.
"Wow rock star, just be quiet, my girlfriend has not passed this to find the love of her live in jail okay?" Eddie sigh and then calms again. "Sorry" he murmurs, Mel shakes her head "believe me I would prefer to take the second largest knife and go with you, but Loren needs us. "Eddie laughs Mel always knows how to see the joke of things, therefore he was always been so fond of her.
Then there is a knock on the door, as Eddie opens the door he is immediately pulled in Ian his arms "hey mate, how is Loren?" he asks right away. Eddie chuckles "hey Ian, I feel fine though."
He says as if he feels ignored. "Mate!"Says Ian once again with a worried look in his eyes.
"Wow slow down Ian, all is well with her, she has been scared but now she is just laying down to sleep." Ian sigh visibly relieved. Eddie beats him on the shoulders and takes him to the bank.
"O.M.G. do you like a drink, sorry for my lack of hospitality by the way." says Eddie what embarrassed against Mel and Adam. "Hey Rock star we don't blame you for anything, your girlfriend is just threatening with the death, and frankly I first wanted to know how it was with Lo, but let me help you." Says Mel while she pushes him towards the kitchen, Eddie nods grateful.
As Eddie and Mel are in the kitchen there is a knock on the door. Ian opens the door.
Max and Nora walked in, they greeting everyone with hugs, you can see on their faces that they are quite startled.
As Mel comes walking with the coffee and tea she quickly puts everything on the table and pulls Nora in her arms.
Both ladies let their tears of relief walk. Eddie feels a big lump in his throat if he rethinks the happening. Ian rubs him by his hair, and Max pulls him in his arms "everything is in order now son, your girl is a tuff one, she will come true, you see." Eddie nods and rubs again the tears from his face.
Also Adam gives him a blow to the shoulders. Eddie feels happy with all these people around him. Loren has given him so much more than just her love. She has given him a close family, a family that he had missed after the death of his mother. If everyone is drunken some coffee or tea, also Jake and Kelly come walking in.
Eddie smiles he welcomed them both with an embrace, and anyone inside follows him.
Jake and Kelly came directly from the police station where they had secured Lia. They had taken care of all the paperwork, the police would come by with papers that Loren had to sign, but they expected no problems because everything was filmed. Everyone was somewhat more relaxed, by the relieve that Lia was behind bars.
Then he sees Mel her still scary face, Eddie puts his hand on hers and whispers "I think our sleeping beauty has slept enough, and I thinks that she would love to speak to you." Mel looks up at him with big teary-eyed, Eddie nods and gestures with his head to the stairs. Grateful Mel kiss him on the cheek and sprint to the top. Nora looks grateful to Eddie, Eddie blushes and winks at her. After ten minutes, the girls both with red teary eyes came down, Loren has put on her jogging pants and is still wearing Eddie his shirt.
She had quickly done her hair with a rubber band into a messy bun on her head.
Loren is visible attached if she sees all the people she loved so much, who came here out of concerns for her.
But before she gets the chance to greet everyone, Eddie grabs her when she passes him and pulls her firmly against him, he looks deep into her eyes, and if she reassuring nods to him that everything is fine, he kisses her gently. Then he slowly let her loose and gives her a tap against her buttocks as she runs laughing to the rest.
