Eddie's P.O.V

When I open my eyes, my head pounding is the only thing I register but then everything comes rushing back to me and I long to feel nothing. I close my eyes in hope to stop my tears from escaping but it's useless. I remember all the events from last night; the almost proposal, Tyler calling, kicking Loren out. I take a deep breath and try to calm myself down. It hurts, it hurts so fucking bad. I never thought Loren would do something like that, I thought she was different... I thought we were it. I was harsh because I wanted her to hurt as much as I was but I still love here, I can't make that disappear overnight, and now that my anger is gone, I'm worried about her. Is she okay? Where did she go? It was dark, raining, and she didn't even have a car. I tell myself that she's fine and that she probably called someone to pick her up then I proceed to scold myself for thinking about her and worrying about her safety when she clearly doesn't give a damn about me.

I have to stop mopping and go back to LA. This bungalow only reminds of Loren and all of the nights we spent here when we needed to get away from the drama, if I go back then the penthouse will remind me of her, but then again mostly everything reminds me of Loren in some way so I'm screwed. I told Jake I wanted a few days off but that's changed now, all I want is to get back to work to take my mind off things, if I stay here thinking I'll go insane.

I stand from where I fell asleep on the couch and take in how much cleaning I have to do. As much as I want to leave this place as soon as possible, I can't leave the bungalow trashed. There's shattered glass on the floor, a bottle of whiskey on the counter and a flipped table. I groan and get to work, this is definitely not how I planned to spend my time here I chuckle bitterly. When everything looks as it was when we arrived here, I make my way upstairs.

I sigh, if everything had turned out perfectly, we would had been tangled together in that bed right now. I stop my thoughts from heading on her direction again, and instead grab my travel bag. There's not much packing to do since I fell asleep drunk last night. Before I open the door, I see a phone laying on the nightstand- Loren's. She forgot her phone? Then how did she call someone to come pick her up? Whatever, I tell myself, she probably asked someone if she could borrow their phone. I walk out of the bedroom and head back downstairs. I grab my car keys, and leave.

The drive back to LA is hell. Nothing like the drive to the bungalow. It's only me alone with my thoughts. My thoughts of her. I don't know why she did it, I thought she was happy. How wrong was I! Every time I keep coming back to the same question. Why did she do it? Was she not happy? Did I do something wrong? Did she not love me anymore? Or was I just not enough? All I know is that I need to forget about her. Maybe once I get back to LA I'll go to a club, grab a girl and take her back to- I cut myself off. I know I won't do that even if I wanted to because I simply can't do that. I'm not that type of guy and I... Still love her. I'm hopeless I chuckle. Can't sleep with anyone because I love a girl that cheated on me.

I remember Loren's phone in my pocket. I need to give it to her. As much as it'll hurt to see her, she probably needs it. I make a turn in the way of Mel's house. I figure she's probably there. Nora and Pops live together so I don't think she's there and after all, Mel is her best friend. When I get there I take a deep breath and knock on the door.

When Mel sees me she looks surprised as if she didn't expect me to be the one knocking.

"What are you doing here" she asks

"I was just here to give Loren her phone back" I reply

"What do you mean give her phone back. I thought you guys were at the bungalow?"

Okay not what I was expecting, "So you mean she's not here? I thought she would have called you."

She looks confused, "I'm sorry Eddie but I really have no idea what you're talking about. Where's Loren?"

"I know Mel! I know she's cheating on me!" I say frustrated

"Eddie, please tell me you didn't believe the rumors, Tyler kissed her but she pulled away, I was there."

"Mel believe me I know it's true she's cheating. Tyler called me and-"

"And you believe Tyler and not Loren? Please tell me you're not that gullible" she nearly screams

"I'm not stupid enough to believe her. He said some stuff that I know for fact that are true" I finally say defeated

"Eddie," she says softly, "Believe me when I tell you Loren is completely in love with you."

"Mel-"

I'm cut off by the sound of my phone ringing

"Hey" I answer

"Is this Eddie Duran" someone asks

"Uh yeah, who is this?"

"Oh that doesn't matter but if you ever want to see your precious little girlfriend again, you better do what I tell you to."

Loren's P.O.V

The first thing I remember when I wake up is that Eddie thinks I cheated on him and broke my heart, the second thing I register is that my hands are tied, there's something covering my eyes, and there's a gag in my mouth. My heart is pounding. Where am I? Then I hear someone laugh...

"Finally awake little girl?"
