Chapter 56

"Tyler?" Adriana said in confusion. Tyler was standing in front of the school waiting... For her?

"Aid, I'm really sorry about last night." Tyler replied.

Adriana felt happiness inside of her when she saw Tyler. No, she couldn't be happy. Adriana had just walked to the front of the school in an effort to get away from it all. And to avoid Kim who would probably know something was up, plus, everybody was talking about Loren Tate and that was something Adriana really hated; people saying good things about Loren Tate.

Before Adriana was aware of what she was doing she walked up to Tyler and kissed him. She kissed him full of emotion, Tyler was surprised by her gesture, but pleasantly surprised.

"Don't do that to me again." Adriana said, Tyler just nodded before Adriana kissed him again. Adriana noticed how much she needed Tyler. She loved him. But did he love her back?


"Oh my God it's for Loren!" Somebody yelled, Loren had been leaning against the large tree, thinking about where Mel could possibly be.

Loren walked over to the green fence and saw a man in a suit standing there with a sign in his hands that read 'Loren Tate'. Loren quickly rushed over to the man who opened the car door for her. Loren felt like a million eyes were looking at her, she took one look back and saw Cameron standing among her schoolmates, but he didn't look excited, he was just looking at her and slightly shaking his head. Loren knew Eddie had send her this car, but that couldn't be the surprise, right? No, this was probably something normal to Eddie. Loren didn't care about skipping classes right now, she was on her way to see Eddie.

The drive seemed to take forever, yet not long enough to give Loren some decent thinking time. But the blame for that could also be that the butterflies were in her head. Her whole head was filled with a fuzzy feeling. Hell, her whole body was filled with a fuzzy feeling. The car stopped and the driver opened Loren's car door. Loren thanked him and started walking.

Paparazzi were all around her and started taking pictures of her instantly. Some of them yelled something but Loren didn't listen, Eddie had told her never to listen to paparazzi.

"Miss Tate." Jeffrey greeted her with a smile on his face "Mister Duran will be delighted to see you." He added. He saw a smile appear on Loren's face. Jeffrey liked Loren, she was always polite. Unlike Chloe Carter.

"Hi." Loren said before getting into the elevator, she would have talked to Jeffrey if she wasn't as curious as she was right now. Curious about Eddie's surprise.

The elevator doors opened and Loren walked towards Eddie's penthouse and knocked on the door. Nobody answered so she knocked again. This time someone opened the door but it wasn't Eddie.

"Hello love." Ian said with a huge smile on his face, as usual.

"Hey Ian, where's Eddie?" Loren asked. She needed to see Eddie now. She wasn't even sure why.

"Still not here to see me, are we?" Ian answered with a chuckle. Loren gave him a disapproving look before she brushed beside him, entering Eddie's penthouse. Loren saw Katy and Jake sit on the couch but didn't see Eddie.

"Loren, hi!" Katy said as she got up and gave Loren a hug. Loren returned Katy's hug.

"Mate, your girl's here." Ian yelled up the stairs. Eddie instantly appeared, walking down the stairs with a smile on his face.

"Hello beautiful." Eddie said, he grabbed Loren by her waist and gave her a soft kiss.

Katy got up and grabbed Jake's hand pulling him up too. In her walk she also grabbed Ian's arm and dragged them both to the kitchen. Loren and Eddie needed a little alone time. Katy was willing to give them as much of that as they needed.

"So what's your big surprise?" Loren asked, Eddie's hands were still on her waist. That was where his hands belonged according to Loren. Eddie chuckled and he walked towards the piano. He sat down on the bench and Loren sat next to him.

"I wrote a song for you to sing." Eddie said.

"Eddie Duran the songwriter?" Loren laughed at the sound of that. Eddie never wanted to use songwriters himself, so why did he write a song for her?

"No- Well yes, but I wrote it for you." Eddie replied, he didn't give Loren a chance to reply to him, he started playing. Loren closed her eyes and listened to ever chord, every word. This song was truly meant for her.


Mel was looking for Loren. She had looked everywhere, she needed Loren's advice on something. That something was Adam. They had somehow managed to talk things out... But Mel just had this empty feeling.

Lo where are you?!

Mel texted her best friend after she had looked in the bathrooms for the third time. Mel realized she only had Loren and Adam. And maybe she wouldn't have Adam anymore after today or tomorrow. Mel walked back into the bathroom, she needed a good ugly cry.

Beth, Lisa, Gus, Phil, everything was messed up. Her life was messed up. And Loren... Loren wasn't there for her. Mel wanted to feel as care free as she had felt last night. She reached into her bag and found her fake ID. She just stared at it for a moment, she needed that same feeling she had last night. No. No. No. She hated people who would do something like this. She had been about ready to resort alcohol. No, she wasn't going to do that. She wasn't like Beth. Mel needed someone to talk to, someone who understood her.

She needed Ian.

Mel took out her phone and called him without another thought.

"Hello, love." Ian said, instantly picking up. As if he had been watching his phone all day waiting for someone to call him. Mel wasn't aware that there was some truth in that statement.

"Ian? Please come pick me up." Mel said, she couldn't hold in the tears anymore. She started crying.

"Are you okay?" Ian replied with a lot of worry in his voice.

"Please just come pick me up." Mel answered, she could barely talk, she was completely chocked up.

"I'm on my way." Ian said before he hung up his phone. Ian didn't want Mel to cry. But why had she called him? Why hadn't she called her boyfriend. Ian nearly ran out of Eddie's apartment, Eddie and Loren didn't even notice him. They were too caught up in their song.


Katy and Jake were still in Eddie's kitchen. Jake gave Katy a weird look after Ian had ran out of the room.

"What was that all about?" Jake laughed. Katy just shrugged.

"I think the boy's in love." She replied. Jake gave her an understanding look and smiled broadly.

"That was a great song." Jake said after a brief moment of silence.

"Yeah my son appears to be a famous artist who writes amazing songs." Katy joked, Jake laughed at her remark.

"Yes but you're still pretty good yourself." Jake answered in a more serious tone of voice.

"I guess I'm decent, not half as good as I was back in the day with Max though." Katy said, her face also turned serious.

"Have you ever thought of making an album?" Jake suddenly asked. Katy looked at him, surprised by his question. She thought about her answer for a moment.

"No..." She said carefully "Not after Max... died." She added.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Jake began.

"No it's okay," Katy interrupted him "You've actually given me a lot to think about." She added, making Jake nod and smile.


"Eddie it's perfect." Loren said. "But are you sure you don't want to record it yourself?"

"Absolutely positive." Eddie replied. Loren looked at him, something came over her, she kissed Eddie passionately.

"You know what I want to do?" Loren suddenly said "I want to go for a drive in your fancy car." she added.

"Hmm, I like the sound of that." Eddie replied. Without a warning Eddie lifted Loren up and threw her over his shoulder. Loren didn't protest, she just laughed until she was breathless.

"What was that for?" Loren asked when they had reached Eddie's car and Eddie had put her down in the seat.

Eddie shrugged "I couldn't help myself, you were just so slow." Eddie replied with a chuckle.

"Oh I'm slow?" Loren teased back. Eddie started his car.

"Yes. But it's okay, I forgive you." Eddie said before he drove off. Loren wanted to go for a drive, Eddie just drove to wherever. Wherever he could be away from all the paparazzi with Loren.


Ian got out of his car and saw Mel standing in front of her school instantly.

"Love, what's wrong?" Ian said. Mel's cheeks were lined with tears. Mel didn't say anything, she hugged Ian tightly. Mel didn't have anything to say, she started crying again. But quickly stopped herself when she heard Adriana's voice behind her.

"Great, time for my daily doses of vitamin B." Mel said sarcastically as she wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"What, now that your friend is enjoying her thirty seconds of fame, your nerdy boyfriend is not good enough for you?" Adriana said. Mel eyes widened when she saw who stood behind her. Tyler Rorke. The guy Adriana had cheated on her brother with... Well, her cousin. But Phil was still related to her.

"Adriana, mind your own business." Mel snapped "Or whatever you're doing with him over there." She added, motioning towards Tyler. Mel smiled when she saw Adriana freeze.

"I don't know who you are, love, but you have to leave Mel alone." Ian stepped in. He put his arm around Mel and guided her towards his car, leaving Adriana behind.

"Babe, what was that about?" Tyler asked as he put his hand on Adriana's shoulder and turned her around.

"I'm pregnant." Adriana blurted out.

"Wait... Did they tell you you were pregnant?" Tyler replied a bit jokingly. His smile quickly faded when she saw Adriana's expression.

"This is not funny, Tyler." Adriana snapped. She swallowed loudly before continuing "There is a chance that it's... That it's Vince's." Adriana immediately wished she hadn't said it.

"Vince's?" Tyler asked after a moment of silence in which Adriana wished she could hear Tyler's thoughts. She nodded in response, she had no idea what to make of Tyler's expression.

"He- He forced himself on me." Adriana tried to explain, although it didn't sound like much of an explanation.

"Just relax, sweetheart."

Vince's words rang trough Adriana's head again making goosebumps break out all over her body. She didn't give Tyler the eye contact that he had seemed to be seeking. She couldn't look into his eyes. To her surprise Tyler pulled her into a hug.

Tyler hated to admit that this cleared up things. Adriana being as distant as she had been. That she had seemed to be frightened by Vince's presence. But Tyler kind of wanted to kill Vince, who had been one of his best friends some time ago. Tyler hugged Adriana even tighter and didn't even let go when he heard a camera. It wouldn't hurt to be seen with Adriana, plus it wasn't like people were truly interested in Tyler's love life. He wasn't Eddie Duran.
