Okay, fine! I'll admit, Leddie will happen! :) Just not right now, but don't abandon the story cause of that :)
So I think I'm going to do a little summary of what happened during the previous chapter every time I add a new chapter cause sometimes if you're reading more than one fanfic it can be difficult to remember :) (Trust me, I know)
Summary: So in the last chapter, Loren was at her secret spot thinking about how her long term crush had finally asked her on a date to see an Eddie Duran movie. She had started to write some new lyrics but when she got up to leave, she dropped a sheet of lyrics and left it behind. Eddie had been heading up to his secret spot when he spotted someone there. In order to avoid being spotted, he hid in a bush and when he saw Loren leave he went to pick up the paper she had dropped. He had been amazed at how good the lyrics were, and he was excited to show his parents.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter :) Don't forget to let me know your thoughts!
"Mom! Dad! Where are you guys?" Eddie yelled as he walked into his parents apartment.
"Eddie? Honey, what's wrong?" his Mom asked him, walking out of the office.
"Nothing bad, I promise! Actually, this actually really exciting news," he replied with a smile.
"What is it, son?" his dad demanded.
"Sit, sit. I wanna tell you guys something," he smiled. His parents sat. "Okay, so I was up at that place I used to hike up to when I was younger, remember it?" Max and Katy nodded, "So, I saw this girl."
"Ooh, you saw a girl, huh?" his mom winked at him.
"Mom, it wasn't like that! Well, she was beautiful, but that's not the point!" Eddie exclaimed.
His parents started to laugh, "Alright, alright. So what about this beautiful girl?" his dad asked.
Eddie rolled his eyes and gave his parents an agitated look, "Can I tell you? Or am I gonna get interrupted after every sentence?"
"No no, go ahead sweetie. Carry on," Katy told him with an encouraging smile.
"Okay, so as I was saying before I was interrupted," he gave his dad a pointed look, "I was up at that place I used to go to when I noticed someone else was there. I'd never seen anyone up there before, so I hid. That's when I saw that girl, she had these beautiful wide brown eyes and brown hair. She was sitting there with her eyes closed looking at the city. She was smiling about something, and she had the cutest smile! So-"
"Wait wait wait, I thought you said it wasn't like that?" his mom asked him.
"...It's not, Mom, that's not what this is about. Plus, I'm allowed to appreciate a pretty face when I see one."
"Alright, sorry honey keep going."
Eddie continued his story while pacing around the living room, "Okay, so as I was watching her from the bushes, she-"
"Wait, you were watching her from the bushes son? Wouldn't that be considered stalked? I really don't want to have to bail you out of jail because you were 'appreciating a pretty face'," his dad told him, throwing in air quotes with his hands. Then he looked at Katy and they both burst into a series of laughter.
"...Ugh, you guys! I wasn't stalking her! Okay? I didn't want her to see me and recognize me and go crazy," Eddie retorted.
"Right, because you're the oh so famous Eddie Duran," his Mom told him. He look at could tell they were both just having fun at his expense. That's all his parents did, and they loved it. He could tell they were both trying not to laugh.
"Alright, fine. You guys wanna be like that? Go ahead, I'll go tell someone else my amazing story," he began to walk away.
"Aw, baby get here, I promise! No more interruptions until your done," Katy said sympathetically.
"Okay, for the last time! So, where was I?" he paused for a second to think, "Ah, right. So she pulls out this book and starts writing in it, and she seems to be really enjoying herself! It's like a diary or something, I wasn't really sure. When she left, I went to where she had been standing. That's when I found this!" He pulled out the sheet of lyrics and handed it to his Mom.
"What is it?"
"It's lyrics! This girl wrote them! And they are really, really good!"
"Hmm," Max and Katy studied the paper for a second, "Yeah, they're good lyrics."
"Why do I sense a but coming?" Eddie questioned taking the paper back from them.
"But what? What about them? It's not like you can steal this girl's lyrics and expect her to be like yeah, sure take them," his dad said, "Even if you are Eddie Duran the rock star," he and Katy started laughing again.
"You guys are ridiculous, you know that? Whatever, I'll figure this out when we get back! But if you guys don't start getting ready now, you're gonna miss the premiere," Eddie said with a chuckle.
"Ah, right! My son, the infamous rock star was in a movie called Senior Ditch Day! And guess what? The premiere is tonight! And he invited his parents! Aw, isn't my boy a little sweetheart?" Katy told Max, standing up to give Eddie a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, right! My boy. So grown up now. Going to his first movie premiere!" Max told him. Eddie started laughing. He loved it when his parents started to mock him. As weird as that sounded, it actually made him laugh. Even if he was being teased.
"And who is my baby taking with him to this premiere?" his mom asked him as she held his hand in hers.
"Hey, maybe he should take Lyric Girl! Oh wait, he doesn't even know who she is since he was too busy stalking her!" his dad said with a laugh.
"Ha ha, very funny Pops," Eddie retorted, while trying not to smile.
"Well, it clearly is since you're on the verge of bursting into laughter!" his dad pointed out to him.
Eddie couldn't help it, he smiled. "Okay, okay, enough with the Eddie teasing, go get ready! Oh, and I'm not taking anyone."
"And why not?" Katy asked him.
"I don't really know, I guess I forgot? I just didn't feel like it. Will you be my date, Mom?" he asked playfully.
"Of course honey!" she told him, with a sincere smile lighting up her gorgeous features.
"Hey, hey! What's this I hear? You're trying to steal my date young man? I'm sorry, but she's taken!" Max interfered. He stood up and wrapped his arms around Katy's waist, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Nah, no one Pops! She's all yours, maybe next time!"
"Yeah, maybe, now you have to get ready! We'll see you there, okay?" his mom told him.
"Alright bye Mom," he gave his mom a quick kiss, "Bye Pops," he said as he hugged his dad.
"Bye Eddie!" they called out after him as he left the apartment.
He got into his car and started to head home to get ready. This was it. Tonight was his big night! The premiere. He couldn't wait to see all his old cast mates again, they'd had some good times on set. He was excited to see the final product. But no matter what he did, he couldn't shake 'Lyric Girl', as his father had called her, out of his head. There was just something about her. She had this innocence about her that was so intriguing. He cursed himself for not having found out her name. He really wanted to get to know her! Not because he thought she was pretty, but because this girl was skilled. Maybe she could help him write some stuff.
When his car stopped, he looked out the window to see that he had arrived. He went straight up to get ready for the premiere. He took the sheet of lyrics and carefully placed it on the piano. He would figure this out when he got back, he promised himself.
When he was ready, he left the penthouse. He went by Jake's house to pick him and Traci up. Beeep, beeep, he heard the driver honk. He rolled down his window to see what was taking them so long.
"We're coming, we're coming!" Jake yelled to him. Typical Jake, he thought as he let out a little laugh.
"Come on man, as my manager you should be the one yelling at me to hurry it up!"
"I'm here man, sorry Trace was a taking a little longer than expected," Jake said as he ran to the car, Traci close behind.
"Well, it was definitely worth it, you look beautiful Traci," he told her as she got into the car.
"Thanks Eddie, you don't look to bad yourself," she laughed.
"So, Eduardo. You ready for the big night?" Jake asked once he had gotten himself settled in.
"Are you kidding?" Eddie looked at him incredulously, "I've never been more ready for anything!"
"Alright, man! That is what I like to hear," Jake smiled, showing his satisfaction.
So that's chapter two! :) Let me know what you think :)
