Oh, and should I make Tyler & Eddie friends or no?
Summary:In the last chapter, Loren went home to talk to her mom and do her homework. Halfway through, Melissa calls her on Skype and they start talking about Loren's upcoming date. They discuss what she's going to wear when Loren gets a message from Justin about going to dinner before the date. Loren agrees and they exchange numbers. Her and Melissa end the call, and Loren is excited for Friday.
Eddie was on his way back from a successful evening. The night had been flawless, and he was proud of the final product. He had a blast at the premiere, but now he was exhausted. He closed his eyes and put his head back against the seat. He let out a weary sigh. It had been a very long day. He couldn't wait to get to the comfort of his own bed and bury himself in the pile of sheets.
"Man, tonight was crazy!" Jake said excitedly, "You were great! That movie was off the chains! This is gonna be great publicity!"
Eddie smiled. Typical, typical Jake. "Yeah man, it was great! But now it's time to relax," he said, stretching out the word relax, "Give it a rest, we can talk business tomorrow!"
"Alright, alright. Come by my office tomorrow afternoon and we'll talk," he told him as they arrived at Jake and Traci's house.
"Yeah, yeah, bye Jake!" Eddie called out after them as they get out of the car.
"Where to, sir?" The driver questioned.
"Home, go straight home."
The driver headed in the direction of Eddie's penthouse. Just as he got to the door, he heard his phone ringing. He picked it up, and answered with a very exhausted hello. Eddie listened for a second. Then his face scrunched up in confusion. Then anger. He couldn't understand.
"What do you mean!" He yelled angrily into the phone, "You know what, forget it. Where are you? I'm coming!"
Eddie couldn't believe it. Was this some sort of sick joke? It had to be, right? This couldn't be happening, not now. Without even stopping to think, Eddie got in his car and drove to the hospital. He was driving at an accelerating speed. Everything became a blur, and the only thing he could think was that he had to get to the hospital. He pressed on the gas even harder, willing his car to go faster. How could his friend call him with such news and make it seem like no big deal? This was earth shattering news.
When Eddie finally reached the hospital, he stopped the car and yanked out the keys. He ran to the front desk and said "Duran, Max and Katy Duran, where are they?"
The receptionist stared at him for a moment, a sad look in her eyes. "Your dad is in room 227, Mr. Duran."
"Thank you!" He barely managed to say before running off to see his dad.
Eddie pressed the elevator button and waited. When he realized it was taking too long, he decided to take the stairs. Eddie ran up to the 5th floor and frantically looked around for room 227. When he finally located it, he ran inside. The sight in front of him caused him to stop for a second. Lying in the middle of the room was his dad. His dad was on the bed, with all these machines hooked to him. But the thing that shocked him most was all the big cut across his father's forehead. Eddie slowly walked up beside him and took his hand. His dad slowly stirred, and opened his eyes.
"Eddie?" he whispered meekly.
"Hey pops, I'm here," he responded gently, "What happened?"
"I don't know, we were on our way back home from the premiere when a car veered out of its lane... I tried to avert it but in doing so ended up driving into a tree and...," Max's confusion was clear. He couldn't continue.
"But what?"
"But..." Max couldn't stop the single tear the trickled down his cheek.
"Well it doesn't matter, as long as you and mom are okay, Dad," Eddie assured him.
"Well that's the thing, Eddie," his father started slowly, "Your mom..."
"What about Mom?"
"Eddie your mom, she didn't-"
"Dad, where is she? Where's Mom?" Eddie questioned. He creased his eyebrows, bewildered. He didn't understand. What was his father trying to tell him?
His father's tears started flowing freely now. He couldn't take it anymore, Eddie demanded more loudly this time, "Dad where's Mom?"
"Eddie I'm so sorry, your mom... S-s-he she didn't make it," his father stuttered.
"What do you mean she didn't make it? Where is she? I wanna see her, I wanna see Mom!" Eddie whimpered skeptically.
"Eddie. Your Mom, she's gone."
Eddie froze. His mom was gone? She couldn't be. He had just talked to her, told her goodnight before leaving. He was paralyzed. He couldn't see anything anymore, everything was blurry. The words "She's gone" echoed in his head. How did this happen? How had it happened?
"Eddie?" his father's voice pierced his train of thoughts. Eddie backed up into the wall and sank to the floor. He looked up at Max.
"Dad, she can't be. She can't be gone," he whispered to him. He was desperate to hear anything but that.
"Eddie, it's true."
I know that many of you might have seen this coming, but I thought I'd write out the actual seen, so yeah :P
Please don't forget to let me know what you think! :)
