Eddie

"Eddie, are you even listening to me?!" Chloe screeched, stomping her foot on the ground like a three year old.

I sighed, rubbing my forehead. "Yeah, I am." In all honesty, I wasn't. I had been thinking about that girl...Loren, I think. She had left her earring behind, and had ran off with her friend before I could give it to her. I still remember her beautiful face, even though I tried so hard not to. It wasn't right; I had a hot girlfriend draped on my arm and all I could think about was some girl from a karaoke bar.

She's not 'some girl', she was special! A voice in my head spat.

I sighed once again. This was one of the many things running through my head last night, causing me to not sleep until five in the morning, and it was a shame because I had to get up at 6:30 for a photoshoot. Now, it was after, and I was sitting at Chloe's house, tired out of my mind. All I kept thinking about is if I'll ever meet her again, or how to return the earring.

"Oh yeah? Tell me what I just said."

"Ah.." I racked my brain for a trace of conversation that escaped her lips; she had gotten me there. "Somethin' about..makeup?" I tried, hoping that I had guessed correctly.

She wacked me on my arm, proving me wrong. "No, UGH! What the hell is on your mind that you can't even listen to me complaining about my photo shoot, and how the director was a complete ass? Your always interested in my stories!"

"Maybe it's the fact that I'm tired, Chloe! I didn't get to sleep last night."

"Awwww, you poor baaabbbyyyy. That's okay, Chloe's gonna make you feel soooo much better." Her hands trailed down my chest, and I pulled them off of me. Didn't she hear anything I just said? I didn't want to fool around! I wanted to go to sleep and then try to find Loren! ... Here we go again. God, why was this girl so freaking special to me? What did she have the Chloe didn't?

Want me to make a list for you?

*Natural beauty

*Gorgeous voice

*Amazing smile-

Okay, I must be really tired. Chloe has all those things but a gorgeous voice, but so what? Not everyone will have a voice like an angel.

Lyin' here with you so close to me, it's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe..

"Look Chloe, I have to go." I mumbled, grabbing my jacket and practically running out of the door. I was heading for the Valley for a cup of coffee...and maybe I'll see her..

Loren

"Mom, I'm leaving!" I called, grabbing my purse and heading out the door towards Mel's car. Adam was in the backseat, saving the front for me. "Thanks Adam." I said, getting into the car.

"No problem, Loren."

"Hey, Lo! So, how ya feel? Oh yah, I have got to show you the footage, I'm gonna upload it tonight-"

The radio was low, but loud enough to hear, and I heard the name Eddie Duran, immediately perking up. "Mel, turn up the radio." She did as told, but looked slightly confused.

"Why do you want me to-?"

"Shhhh!" I hissed, listening intently.

Just last night, Eddie was at the hottest new karaoke bar in the valley, Pulsetto, making the packed crowd go outrageous. The thing that really got the crowd going, though, was that the next singer on the list would have the chance to sing with him, which was the dream of a lifetime! Eventually, a girl by the name of Loren Tate got to sing with the famous heart throb, and boy did sparks fly!

"They looked like they were in love or something! It was really magical." Said a reliable source.

How cute! The only problem, though, is that Eddie has a girlfriend! It's too bad, cause it seemed like love at first sight for the both of them!

We'll be accepting calls right after the break!

I sat there, stunned, my mouth hanging open.

Oh. My. God.

It seemed I was saying that quite a lot lately. "D-did they just..?" I barely managed to choke out.

I looked at Adam, who was wearing a shocked expression, then to Mel. A smile spread across her face. "Oh my gosh, Lo, your famous! They said my besties name! Please, don't forget me when you become famous. And did you hear what they said about you and Eddie?! Oh my gosh, I already have the couple name: Leddie!" She spread her hands out into the air, as if showing the name on a billboard, looking into space with a loving sigh.

Leddie? Well, it kind of had a ring to it.. What am I saying? "Mel, no matter what they say, Eddie and I will never be together, nor meet each other unless at a meet 'n greet! That was a one time thing." I tried convincing her and myself. I had been up all night thinking about if he had my earring, and how handsome he looked.

"Oh hush, up, it's back on!" She squealed, turning the radio up even more.

Hey, were back! We are now accepting calls, and we have thousands of them since the break! Let's talk to Jenny from Ohio. How are you, Jenny?""I'm fine!" Jenny squealed, giggling in excitement."That's good, that's good.. So, what is your take on the karaoke thing? Did you think it was fate?""Of course I thought it was fate! I was standing right there and they were looking so adorable at each other and it was so cayyuuute! They might even be my new OTP after Elena and Damon!"

My jaw dropped open. None of this was necessary! It was just one little song; Jenny is blowing everything out of proportion! And it's the fact that I ship Elena and Stefan, but that's beside the point!

Allllright! Our next caller on the karaoke fate is Stacy from California. Haylo, Stacy!" He joked.

"Hayyylooo!" She said cheerful, and you could hear some splashing in the background.

"What's your input on the whole karaoke fate?"

"Wellll, I was therrree, hoping I would be called, but whatevs. And now, I'm sitting here at my country club tanning, and I think: Wow! They look really good together! I mean, Eddie looked, like, so in luv or somethin', like, ChloeCakes didn't exist. Speaking of which, I luuvvv her! But yah, it was sorta cute and magical and stuff." She finished, chewing on gum.

"Thanks, Stacy! And now, we have Miranda from New Yawwwkk! Hey hey hey, Miranda!"

"Heyy!" She said, slightly cheerful, but totally tuned down from the last two.

"So, what's your intake on the KF, aka Karaoke Fate?"

"It was cute and all, but I really love Eddie, so I think we should be together. Um.. she seems better than Chloe, but he still has a girlfriend whom he loves, so I don't know if Lauren or Laura...oh, Loren! I don't know if Loren will get her chance but she should to show us fans can get the guy!"

"Thank you, Miranda. Okay, here's our last caller before the break. We have Melissa from..the valley! Hey Melissa!"

I gasped, looking over to Mel, who was smiling wickedly with a phone to her ear. "Heyy, Tom!" You could hear her voice echo from the radio. My heart started to miss a couple beats, and my breathing became uneven.

"So, what's your point of view on the KF?"

"Well, I think that it was fate, and that Eddie and Loren are soulmates. It's obvious! He's like her prince charming or something, and she's Cinderella! It was a magical night and I caught it filming, even the part when her earring dropped, which were assuming Eddie has! We, being me and Loren, she's sitting right next to me! Say hi, Lo!"

I nearly had a heart attack! This was so something Mel would do! She put the phone to my ear, and I took in a deep breath. "H-hey, Tom." Surprisingly, my voice didn't come out that shaky.

"Wow, Loren in the FLESH! This is awesome! How did you feel singing with Eddie Duran?"

He asked excitedly.

"Um..."
