Loren and Gracie arrive at Rumor. The driver comes around and opens the door for them. Before Loren gets out of the car she puts on her sunglasses and hands Gracie a pair and tells her to keep her head down and ignore the paparazzi. When they get inside Loren ask the waitress for a table for 2.
Loren: *Smiling* "Gracie, dont hesitate you can order anything you want, its your birthday dont worry about the price."
Gracie: "Well in that case then i already know what i want."
Loren: "Me too." *Waving for the waitress*
Waitress: "What can i get for you 2 ladies today."
Loren: "Well i will take a iced lemon water and the veggie pasta."
Gracie: "I will take a lemon iced tea and lasagna."
Waitress: "Ill be back shortly with your food and drinks."
Loren: "So Ms. Gracie, tell me about yourself."
Gracie: "Well im basically a normal 19 year old girl, i rarely go to parties and when i do my best friend is the one making me go. My mother is the only one i have since my bestfriend back stabbed me."
Loren: "If it makes you feel any better i can be there for you when ever you need me to."
Gracie: "Its does, it makes me feel a lot better. So tell me about the wonderful life of Loren Tate."
Loren: *Sighing* "Where to begin. Uh well first im being pressured into finishing an album before my due date in about 4 months. I threatened my manager which is the best manager in the world. And I think im letting someone come in between me and my husband."
Gracie: "Wanna talk about it?"
Loren: "Well its this girl and i dont like her really like i mean i appreciate what shes done for Eddie years ago but its like shes trying to break us up. And i was actually forced to work with her and i told my manager that if i had to work with her that i would fire her."
Just then the waitress came back with their food and they finished talking while eating.
Nora and Max were sitting at home watching a movie when someone knocked at the door. Max got up to open the door.
Max: "Hey son."
Eddie: *Coming in* "Hey pops, mom."
Nora: "Hey." *Kissing his cheek* "Wheres Loren?"
Eddie: "Shes out with her new friend."
Max: "New friend?"
Eddie: "Yeah we met a girl at our spot and she had a problem and Loren insisted on helping her out."
Nora: "Thats nice of her."
Eddie: 'Yeah but i have to talk to you guys about something."
Max: "Ok shoot."
Eddie: "Well Loren kind of went off on leah today and threatened to fire Kelly."
Max: "Woah really what happened."
Eddie told them what happened then he got another text saying he needed him back at the office. Loren dropped Gracie off at home and went to the office.
Loren and Eddie arrived at the office at the same time.
Loren: "Hey babe, what are you doing here."
Eddie: "Jake called me in, how was your evening?"
Loren: "It was great i learned about that girl.. Shes just like me."
Eddie: *Kissing Loren's forehead* "Im glad you had fun."
Loren and Eddie went inside the office and heard Kelly talking to Jake about the contest.
Loren: *Walking in* "What contest are you talking about?"
Kelly: "Hey Loren i actually wanted to surprise you and bring up the idea of doing a songwriting contest and have both of Eddies contest winners sing there."
Loren: "Which is me and Leah right."
Kelly: *speaking softly* "Yeah."
Loren:*Voice getting louder* "Was my message earlier not clear to you."
Eddie: "Loren calm down you wont be working with her she will just be singing there so she can find a manager that actually want to manage her."
Loren: "Sorry Kelly, but i think its a good idea."
Kelly: *Smiling* "Thanks."
Eddie: "Lo, can i talk to you for a moment?"
Eddie didnt wait for a response he pulled her out in the hallway.
Eddie: "Loren whats going on with you, your attitude isnt the same any more what happened to the Loren Tate i fell in love with?"
Loren: *Teary eyed and shrugging her shoulders* "She's all grown up."
Loren walked away and went into the bathroom leaving Eddie standing there blaming himself for Loren's actions.
