A/N: I know this chapter is WAY overdue but I started it during the Christmas break and then got distracted with school came along and it's been a stressful couple of months, with a lot of things but FINALLY it's here.

I know many of you don't like where the story is going and you don't like Chloe and neither do I, but I have a plan for where this story is going. I also came up with some new ideas which might make you somewhat happy but maybe not so much. And, as promised, Eddie & Loren will meet and they'll get together but maybe not for a while.

I just wanted to say a special thank you to Marirosa1979 and to everyone else who had such positive reviews! They were really sweet and uplifting, so thank you :)

Okay now, FINALLY back to my story, here is Chapter Seven :)

Enjoy!

Summary: Eddie stayed holed up in the apartment for months, grieving his mother. He often took his anger out on objects that reminded him of her. When he saw her picture sitting on his piano, he threw everything to the ground. When he started cleaning up the mess, he came across Loren's lyric sheet and he ripped it to shreds. To him it was just a reminder of his last day with his mother. Then his friends, Tyler and Ian, showed up at his door and they forced him to go check on his dad. After the visit, they went out for dinner and drinks and that's when he met Chloe, a girl who had been through the same thing he had.

When you feel, like you've lost

Something good, something real

Kick it up, just a notch

Watch your world reappear

If we share our hearts, we can love as one

Make the darkest day bright

Make it loud, don't stop

Let's turn the music up

Hit like a lightning bolt

Let's go, kick it up

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa, kick it up (x2)

Loren groaned as she reached out to shut the alarm she had set on her phone. As much as she loved Eddie Duran, even the sound of his voice would not cheer her up this morning. She had barely gotten any sleep the night before due to the fact that she had been working on her biology project. She had gone to sleep at 4 a.m. and her alarm had gone off just two hours later. To make matters worse, today was her eighteenth birthday. She couldn't believe her eighteenth birthday was on a Monday. Not to mention the fact that she would walk around looking like a zombie on her birthday. Wonderful. She closed her eyes for another minute before forcing them open one last time. She ripped her covers off and sat up. She sat on her bed for a second before dragging herself off and into shower. Twenty minutes later, she came out with her hair wrapped in a towel and wearing grey sweatpants and a light green tank top to go with it.

Ping.

Loren looked at her phone knowing she had just received a text. Her guess was that it was from Justin. Ever since they had started dating, he never let a day go by without sending her a good morning and good night text. No matter what they were doing, whether they were just together or they hadn't talked all they, he always texted her. She thought it was extremely sweet and thoughtful of him. She reached over to check her phone and sure enough, it was a text from her loving boyfriend.

Justin: Good morning beautiful :) Happy eighteenth birthday to the most amazing and gorgeous girl in the entire world. Hope you get everything you asked for, and more :) I love you, baby. I hope you have an amazing day, and I'll see you when I come by to pick you up.

Loren smiled to herself as she read the text before typing a quick reply. This is why she loved Justin; he was so perfect, such a gentleman. Their two year anniversary was coming up soon, and she vowed to herself that she would get him an amazing gift just because he was so amazing. She put her phone in her back pocket and headed into the kitchen. Normally she got dressed for school before eating breakfast but today she hoped that breakfast and a steaming cup of coffee would give her some energy to make herself look presentable.

"Happy birthday, honey!" her mom exclaimed excitedly. She greeted her with a hug, followed by a kiss to her forehead. "Are you hungry? I made chocolate chip pancakes and raspberry muffins, your favourite!" She pushed her towards the table and sat her down. Loren looked at the breakfast set up in front of her stomach let out an angry growl at the sight. Her mom chuckled at her as she sat across from her. Loren didn't have to think twice before grabbing two chocolate chip pancakes and drowning them in syrup. She put some fruits on her plate and started shoveling food into her mouth. Nora looked at her and burst into laughter.

"What?" Loren asked her mom, through a full mouth, a confused look on her face.

"Okay honey, first of all, don't talk with your mouth full. And second, I'm just laughing because you're eating like you have never seen food before."

"Oh, well I'm starved. By the way, can you pour me a cup of coffee please Mom?" Loren asked her mother as she bit into a strawberry.

"No tea today?" she asked as she got up to pour the coffee.

"Nope, I only got two hours of sleep last night and I can tell I have a long day ahead of me, so I'm going to need all the energy I can get," she informed her mom with a slight frown on her face before she went back to her food.

"Only two hours of sleep?" Nora asked her daughter. She walked back to the table and set the mug in front of Loren before continuing. "How about this, finish your breakfast and skip your morning classes and sleep. Go to school at lunch and for the afternoon classes, that way you won't be dragging yourself around."

"Telling me to skip school, huh? I'm pretty sure that would be considered bad parenting, Mom," Loren joked. "I'm just kidding but that actually sounds like an appealing plan. I think I might take you up on that offer."

"Alright honey, finish up and go on back to bed," Nora ordered. She kissed her forehead before heading into her room. Loren quickly finished her breakfast and got up to clean the table. After she finished, she washed her hands and headed back to her room. Just as she passed by the front door, she her a quiet knock. She went to the door and looked to see who it was. Her heart did a little dance at the sight of Justin, and she smiled before opening the door to let him in.

"Hi gorgeous," he said as he walked in and wrapped his arms around her waist. Loren's smile only widened as he leaned down to kiss her.

"Hey to you too," she whispered as she pulled away. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick you up," he said with a wink as he picked her up and spun her around in a circle. When he put her down, they were both laughing and smiling. He then took her hand as they walked into the living room and they sat down on the couch, "I'm just kidding, I'm here to take you to school with me."

Loren couldn't help the smile the smile that seemed to stay plastered on her face whenever he was around. "I'm not going to school right now. I only got a couple hours of sleep, so my mom told me to sleep for a few more hours. But you can come pick me up at lunch if you want!"

"Really? Yeah, of course I'll come back babe," he leaned over to kiss her cheek. "But I guess that means your birthday present will have to wait."

"Hey that's not fair! You can't tell me you got me something and not show me it!"

"Oh yes I can," Justin teased as he stood up to walk to the door. Loren followed him with a fake pout on her face. Justin looked at her and chuckled, "That's not going to work on me, you know that right?"

"Humph, yeah I know. But it was worth a try!" she grinned at him. He laughed as he opened the door to leave. Before he could step outside Loren grabbed his arm and pulled him back to her. She wrapped one arm around his neck and the other rested on his chest as she stood on her toes to give him a kiss. She pulled back just a bit and smiled against his lips. She felt him smile back before she said, "You were forgetting something."

"Ah you're right! Happy Birthday to the beautiful and talented soon to be pop star, Loren Tate!" He said with a laugh. He lowered his hand to rest on her lower back as he pulled her closer to him and stopped her from saying anything. It started off as a slow and simple kiss and turned into something more. They broke off when they heard a loud "Ahem" behind them. They pulled apart and turned to see Nora standing behind them with her arms crossed.

"I knew it was getting too quiet in here, I should have guessed why," she joked, winking at Justin.

"Uh... Hi Ms. Tate. How are you?" Justin asked nervously before letting go of Loren.

"Oh I'm just messing with you! And I told you call me Nora, please! Ms. Tate makes me feel so old," she told him, faking a shiver.

"Alright. I should probably get going. Bye Ms. Ta... Nora! Bye Loren, I'll come back at lunch."

"Okay, bye babe. Love you," Loren whispered before giving him a quick peck on the lips before he left. Once he was out the door, she turned around to look at her mom. "What?" she asked stretching out the word.

"Oh nothing, but I just got to fulfill my lifelong dream of finding you making out with a cute boy and then I get to chase him out the door," her mom joked.

Loren rolled her eyes before replying, "Alright then Mom, I'm going to sleep."

"Alright honey."

Eddie opened his eyes and looked around. He was in his bed, buried in a pile of clothes and bed sheets. He looked to his right and saw a pretty brunette sleeping peacefully next to him. Huh. He couldn't even remember her name, much less how she had gotten there. He closed his eyes for another minute trying to remember. When nothing came to him, he decided to go shower. He pulled the covers off him and sat up in the bed. Great, he was naked. He felt something move beside him and he turned to see the girl opening her eyes.

"Hi," she smiled.

"Hey," Eddie replied forcing a smile. He studied her more carefully and realized she wasn't all that pretty. She was your average looking woman, with big green eyes and short brown hair. A small button nose and thin lips. Wow, he must have been very drunk last night. "I'm going to go take a shower," he informed her.

"Okay," she answered simply. "What time is it?"

"11:30."

"Oh shit! I have to be at work in half an hour!" she exclaimed as she jumped out of the bed. She was naked too so Eddie could guess what happened last night. Too bad he couldn't remember, because she had a beautiful body. Curves in all the right places. That must have been why he brought her home with him last night.

"What? You like what you see?" She winked at him.

"Definitely," he smirked at her. He stood up and put on his boxers and a white t-shirt. She finished getting dressed and started to leave. He started to follow her, in order to walk her out when his foot his something. He bent down to pick it up and realized it was a woman's wallet. Oh thank god, he thought. He opened it and read the driver's license. Maddy. At least he knew her name now. He closed it and quickly ran after her.

"Maddy, you forgot your wallet!" he told her, coming down the stairs.

"Oh thank goodness you found it," she told him. Eddie simply smiled as he walked her to the door. He opened the door for her and she turned around and gave him a light peck on the lips before leaving. After she was gone Eddie closed the door and dropped onto his couch. He rubbed his temples trying to clear his head. The worst thing about getting drunk. The hangover the next day. His head hurt like a bitch. He got up and decided to go take that shower. Half an hour later he was all cleaned up and he looked presentable again. He made his way downstairs to make himself a cup coffee.

Once he had coffee, he went to his living room and grabbed his laptop. He decided to go on Twitter and check out some of his fan's tweets. He felt like he had been neglecting them lately, barely writing any new music or tweeting them or anything really. As he was scrolling through the tweets, he heard a light knock at the door. He went to open it and saw Ian standing there a huge smile plastered on his face with a brown bag in one hand and a tray of steaming cups in the other.

"Latte's and bagels," he explained before letting himself in. He walked over to the table and set them down then turned to face Eddie.

"Wait a second, I haven't seen you since forever and you think you can just show up at my apartment casually with bagels and caffeine without even giving me a proper hello?" Eddie questioned him, faking his annoyance.

Ian smiled at him before saying, "Aw, I missed you too mate," as he pulled him into a quick embrace. They laughed and went to get started on their breakfast. Eddie pulled a bagel out and smiled as he noticed the flavour.

"Blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese, my favourite. Thanks man," Eddie told his friend before taking a bite.

"Anything for you. So, what have you been up to?" Ian winked at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Not much, just been doing my thing," Eddie told him.

"Oh, really? Is that it? No girls leaving your apartment in the mornings or anything like that?" Ian said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ah, how did you find out?" he chuckled.

"I came here about half an hour ago to come check on you when my good pal Jeffery downstairs told me you had some lady company. I saw her come down as I was leaving. She was smokin', Ed. I approve," Ian informed him.

"I see," Eddie replied. "Yeah, she had a gorgeous body."

"Huh. What happened to that beautiful blonde model you were dating? That girl you met at the bar last time I was here?"

"Oh, her. Chloe. Yeah, she turned out to be a lying gold digger," Eddie filled his friend in.

"Really? How did you figure that out?" Ian wondered.

"She told me her mother had been killed in an accident in order to get me to open up and a few months into the relationship, I found out she was lying. We were at Rumour when her mom walked in looking for her. I was annoyed that she had stooped that low for my attention. Then just as I was considering forgiving her, I overheard her yelling at her mother that she was ruining her plans to get a hold on my money. So I broke it off right then and there. I guess it was for the best, before things got too serious. She claims to be in love with me but I know it's just a lie to get me back. And since then, I've just kind of been doing whatever," Eddie explained.

"You mean like hooking up with random girls you pick up at the bar?" Ian teased.

"Yeah, like that," Eddie answered with another light chuckle. He finished his food and went back to his laptop to check out his Twitter while he listened to Ian telling him about his latest travels. He continued to look through until he came across a tweet he was mentioned in with an attached link. Curious, he opened it. "Ian, check this out."

"Oh my God," Loren whispered to herself. "Oh my God!"

Loren had just gotten out of bed for the second time time that day, and she was getting ready for school again. She was almost fully ready when her phone buzzed, letting her know that she had a Twitter notification. She went to check it out, wondering if it was someone replying or retweeting the link she had posted to her video. She has been posting these videos for months now. It had been Justin and Melissa who had pushed her to start a YouTube channel where she could 'show off her talent' as they liked to call it. She had been showing Melissa a new original song one day, and her friend had been taking a video, without Loren's consent, and the next day she found it on YouTube. Within days, it had thousands of hits and people saying they loved it and asking for more. That's when, with lots of convincing from both Justin and Mel, she decided to actually go through with it. Had it not been for the boost of confidence from all the viewers, she would not have been able to post anymore. Every now in then she tweeted links to Eddie Duran, in hopes that he would actually notice it. Just before she had gone back to sleep, she had tweeted yet another link. But, to her surprise this time it had actually worked. Eddie, the Eddie Duran had retweeted her and replied. She couldn't stop herself from freaking out.

EddieDuran: You've got some raw Talent! LoveToLoveYou Don't give up on your dreams.

Eddie Duran: Check out this LoveToLoveYou's YouTube channel! The girl has talent!

She quickly typed a reply, even though she didn't think he would see it.

LoveToLoveYou: OMG EddieDuran noticed me! I don't even understand how! Wow, thank you so much! I love you.

"Oh my freaking God," she repeated to herself. She stopped herself from shrieking when she heard a knock at the door. She ran over to open it and saw Justin standing there.

"Hey. You're glowing," he stated as he walked in. "Why are you glowing?"

Loren didn't say anything. She simply turned around and walked to her room, dragging her boyfriend along. She opened her laptop and turned it towards him. He looked at the screen for a moment, squinting his eyes for a better look, before picking her up in a huge hug.

"Oh my gosh babe, congrats!" he exclaimed.

"Thanks, it's all thanks to you and Mel! I feel so giddy right now, I can't even believe it."

"I told you that you were talented. You never listened. Thank goodness Eddie Duran was able to knock some sense into you," he continued.

"Alright you win, I was stubborn. But what if he's just saying that to be nice? What if he doesn't really mean it?" she started to question. She looked down at her fingers and started playing with them nervously.

"Hey, Loren. Look at me," Justin ordered as he put a hand on her cheek and lifted her chin up, forcing her to look at him. "You are talented. No matter what anyone says. You are, and you better believe it."

"You really think so?"
"I know so. Now come on Birthday Girl! You have to get to school or your mother is going to kill us both," he joked.

"Alright, just a second. Thanks Justin," she told him as giving him a light kiss on the lips before going to pack her books.

"She's good, huh?" Eddie asked after he the video has finished playing.

"Yes mate, she's got a voice. She's good. And she's cute too," Ian added with a wink.

Eddie chuckled before replying, "Yeah, she could be beautiful. I wonder who she is."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Now tell me more about these hot chicks you've been getting. I want details."
"You're such a pig, you know that?" Eddie informed his best friend, while laughing.

"Yes, yes I do. But a very handsome pig," Ian countered.

"Ah, right. There is no more details, I've told you all of it," he said, looking a little distracted.

"Why do you have that look on your face?" Ian asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"What look?"

"That look."

"Can you be more specific? It's not like I can see what look I'm giving right now," Eddie reminded his friend.

"That thinking look." Ian answered.

"Thinking look? Really? I have a thinking look?" Eddie was clearly amused.

"Yes, you do! Now tell me what you were thinking about! Was it that girl? She's too young for you pal! She looks 17 or 18."

"No, not like that," Eddie rolled his eyes. "Something about her looks really familiar."

"What do you mean?" Ian asked.

"It's as if I've seen her before."

"Ugh, school is such a bore," Melissa complained as she walked out of the school with Justin, Loren and Adam. "I am just so glad it's over."

"For today," Loren reminded her.
"Oh well, thanks for ruining my mini good mood, Mrs. Know-it-all," Melissa said.

"Haha, I'm just saying."

"Whatever, at least now I get to celebrate my girl's eighteenth birthday!" Mel exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh yeah, remember nothing big! No huge surprise party like last year," Loren said rolling her eyes.

"Hmm, we'll see about that," Justin replied, as he kissed Loren's cheek.

"I'm serious guys! Something small, just the four of us," Loren protested.

Justin just smiled at her, "Alright fine. Dinner then?"

"Yes, perfect," Loren confirmed. "Dinner, us four. Somewhere nice and quiet where we can have fun."

"Um, quiet might be a little difficult considering Mel and I already made reservations," Justin hesitantly began explaining as he looked over at her, alarmed.

"Yeah, and it's not exactly the quietest place in L.A," Mel continued. "In fact, it's really loud. One of the hottest places in Hollywood."

"We're going out to Hollywood to have dinner? Are you crazy?" Loren shrieked.

"Whoops," Adam whispered.

"You were in on this too Adam?" Loren looked defeated.

"Yup!" they replied simultaneously.

"Alright then, what time did you guys make the reservations for?" she asked.

"Six," Melissa replied.

"But, we'll pick you up at five," Justin added.

"Okay, fine. We'd better go get ready then," she told the boys. She hugged Justin before she and Mel got in her car to leave. They drove to Loren's house to get dressed. Melissa had already packed her outfit and taken it with her to school. She had decided on a hot pink high waist skirt with a white blouse. She accessorized it perfectly, and it hugged all her curves in the right places. She had chosen well. She was currently going through Loren's closet to look for something for her to wear. As she sifted through the closet, she finally found one she deemed perfect. It was black skinny jeans paired with a ruffled turquoise top. For shoes she pulled out Loren's black 5-inch high heels. She accessorised it with a turquoise clutch that went with the shirt and black and silver earrings. She showed it all to Loren, a proud smile spread across her face.

"So, what do you think? Yay or nay? Oh and you should definitely curl your hair! You look extra sexy with curls," Melissa fantasized.

"I like it," Loren said with a smile.

"Perfect! Now go put it on!"

"Okay, okay I'm going!" Loren laughed at her friend as she took the outfit to the washroom with her. She put the shirt on and jumped around trying to wiggle into her jeans. She turned her curler on to heat it up, and applied some makeup while waiting. When it was ready, she quickly curled a few strands of hair and put her jewellery on. She stood back in front of the mirror to get a good look, and she smiled. She thought she looked good. She stepped out of the washroom, and twirled.

"Ta da! What do you think?" she asked Melissa, her smile wide.

"Oh my gosh Loren, you look incredible! Justin is going to freak when he sees you!" Melissa winked, laughing.

"Very funny, thanks!" she said as her cheeks turned a rosy pink.

"I'm serious!" Mel laughed. They heard the doorbell ring and Melissa went to open it, Loren following closely. She opened the door to see Justin and Adam standing there, Justin holding a bouquet of flowers. Justin's eyes widened in admiration as he noticed Loren, and he walked up to her smiling.

"For you," he said handing her the flowers. He kissed her cheek and whispered, "You look so unbelievably beautiful. Even more so than you usually do."

"Ha ha, thank you. Mm, roses? My favourite!" Loren said as she walked into the kitchen to put them in a vase., leaving Mel and Adam in the living room. Justin followed her and wrapped his arms around her from the back.

"I'm serious. You're so gorgeous," he told her again. She turned around in his arms and placed her hands on his chest.

"You're the best boyfriend ever, you know that right?" she told him before leaning in to kiss him on the lips. She meant what she said. He always treated her right. He was so caring, he always bought her gifts for no reason. He often showed up at her door with flowers randomly. He took care of her. Ever since her father left her and her mother, he was the first guy she had let herself care for and depend on. She smiled into the kiss, and he pulled away and smiled.

"What?" he asked her.

"What?"

"Why did you just smile? Not that I'm complaining, I love when you do but why did you laugh?" he said smiling.

"I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you as a boyfriend," Loren told him, hiding her face as she blushed. He lifted her chin with his finger, forcing her to look him in the eyes.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world, you're amazing," he whispered to her before leaning in to kiss her. She locked her arms around his neck as she kissed him back.

"No wonder you guys were taking so long," they jumped apart at the sound of Melissa's voice. "It's almost five, we should probably get going if we want to get there on time."

"Okay," Justin said as he held Loren's hand and led her out of the house. Loren looked over at her best friend sheepishly and mouthed 'sorry'. Melissa just winked back as she got into the car and they drove off.

"Are you hungry?" Eddie asked Ian ask he closed his laptop. He has just spent the last hour or so ready fan tweets and replying. It felt good to finally be connected with them again.

"Starving," Ian answered.

"Rumour?"

"Yeah, let's go," Ian said as he got up and put his jacket on. They got into Eddie's car and arrived to the restaurant in 5 minutes.

"Table for two please," Eddie smiled at the host.

"Mr. Duran, of course. Right this way," she said as she led them to a booth for two. They sat down and got comfortable. They could hear the laughter of a couple of teenagers a few tables over.

"Ugh, why do they let immature teens in here," Ian groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Don't hate man, that was us a few years ago," Eddie chuckled.

"True," Ian sighed. "But that one in that tight pink skirt is quiet ravishing, if I do say so myself."
Eddie turned around to look at the teens. There were two girls, and two boys. One of them boys seemed like the athletic type, and he was holding hands with the girl in the turquoise shirt. She looked oddly familiar to Eddie, and she was very pretty. The other girl in the pink skirt Ian was talking about, was sitting beside a scrawny looking boy but she was also beautiful.

"What's the matter Ed, you see something you like?" Ian winked.

"Nah man, they're kids. But the girl in the blue, or turquoise whatever, she looks so familiar but I can't really tell from where," Eddie explained.

"Huh, second time today man. Interesting," Ian stated as the waitress came to take their order.

"Alright, alright. Now that we've started on dessert, can we please give presents?" Melissa asked as she shoved another slice of strawberry cheesecake into her mouth.

"Ah, yes! Presents," Justin smiled. "Adam, do you want to go first?"

"Okay. So, you've always been there for me Loren and you're such a great friend to me. You always have been, and I hope you will continue to be. So, Melissa and I decided to –"

"… Put our money together and get you something you would love!" Melissa interrupted. "Therefore, we got you front row tickets to… Eddie Duran's last concert in L.A! We tried to get you backstage tickets, but we couldn't so instead we got you Meet and Greet tickets. Hope that's okay with you?"

"WHAT?!" Loren shrieked. Everyone turned to look at her and she hid her face. She whisper yelled at her friends, "You got me front row tickets and a Meet and Greet? And you hope that's okay with you? Are you crazy, oh my God! I love you guys!" They all looked at her bewildered facial expression and burst into laughter.

"It wasn't just us though, Justin pitched in as well," Adam explained.

"You guys are the best, I love you!" Loren said.

"Wait, but that's not all," Melissa winked.

"There's more?" Loren was shocked.

"Yup! So the second part of the gift is a small little addition, but Adam and I made a collage of pictures of the three of us and we included a few of you and Justin and a few of you and Nora. That's in the car so we'll give it to you later," Melissa finished.

"Aw, I'm sure I am going to love it!"
"Oh, I know you will," she chuckled.

"Now, time for my gift," Justin smiled.

"Wait, you got her more?" Melissa asked.

"You got me another gift?" Loren asked at the same time.

"Yeah, this one is all me." he pulled two small boxes out of his pockets. He handed her the first one, and they all watched her open it. Inside, there was a silver necklace with a small heart as the pendent. She gasped. It was a beautiful necklace. She turned to kiss Justin, and he smiled as she pulled away.

"It's so beautiful, thank you!"

"Look here," he pointed to a small part at the tip of the heart. "J+L=Forever."

"Oh my," Loren's eyes widened. "I love it!" He opened the second box. Inside there was a small ring inside. The kind that went on your pinkie finger, and it had a small design on it.

"It's not a marriage ring, not yet anyways," he whispered the second part to her. "But it's kind of like a promise ring. I promise to love you forever, and always be here for you."

"Are you serious? That is so freaking cute!" Melissa shrieked.

"Do you mean it?" Loren asked him.

"Yes, of course," he answered as he leaned over and planted a quick kiss on her forehead, "I love you."

"I love you too," Loren whispered, smiling at him. "Thank you so much you guys, this really has been the best birthday yet."

"Okay, enough cuteness with you two," Melissa said with a sigh. "We should probably get going, it's a 45 minute drive back home." They stood up and went to get their jackets.

"Wait guys, I forgot my keys on the table. I'll meet you outside, alright?" Loren said.

"Yeah, sure. I'll go get the car," Justin said.

She walked over to the table, grabbed her keys and began to head out. She was looking at her phone as she walked out and bumped into someone. Little did she know that the person she had bumped into was Eddie Duran.

"Watch where you're going," Eddie, who also had his eyes glued to his phone as he walked, snapped.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Loren exclaimed, as she ran off never looking up once. When Eddie finally looked up, he realized it was the girl from the video he had seen this morning.

"Wait, LoveToLoveYou!" he called out after her. But it was too late, she was out of hearing distance. That's when he remembered her. That girl. She wasn't just from the video this morning. He had seen her 2 years ago. She was the one who was singing at his secret spot, the night before his mom had died. But now she was gone, and he had no idea how to find her again.

Song: Kick It Up, Eddie Duran (Episode 2)

FINALLY DONE! The last little bit has not been proofread yet, so sorry for any mistakes. Will fix them later.

I know, I'm really awkward at writing love scenes but it's just so weird to write, I'm trying though! I've read so many of them since I love books and all but I just can't get myself to do it, it feels weird :$

These last few chapters have been boring, I am aware, but they're necessary for the development of the story.

This one was a little bit longer than the last few chapters to make up for the time, but I hope you liked it.

All feedback is appreciated, even if it's not positive as long as it is constructive criticism.

Let me know what you guys think if you're reading it. I need to know what you guys think because I'm a little unsure.

Please please please review :) If you like it, follow and favourite :)

Thaaanks :) xo
