Eddie was sitting at his spot when he received a news update and read that Loren and Cam had broken up and Cam was cheating the whole time; he knew Cam wasn't right. He scrolled down and saw a picture of Loren with a tear coming down her face. Eddie was really upset when he saw that the paps had caught Loren in such a vulnerable moment because she rarely showed any emotion other than happiness and he could tell she didn't like to be vulnerable. He literally thought his heart had shattered when he saw her with one tear on her face. He scrolled more and saw another picture of Loren yelling at Cam while he was in his boxers outside his apartment. Eddie was actually shocked anybody would cheat on Loren. She is beautiful, smart, funny, talented, has an amazing personality and the voice of an angel. What is better than her? Well anyways his Loss is my gain. (Eddie told himself) He decided he would call her and make sure she was ok but then Jake called him.

Jake: Hey Eduardo

Eddie: Hey Jake; what's up?

Jake: Look um I just wanted to let you know that the video shoot is postponed till next week.

Eddie: Why?

Jake: Uh, Loren is going to be out of town for about a week or so…

Eddie: Where did she go? (Eddie sounded really worried)

Jake: She has some things to do for work (Jake lied and Eddie noticed it)

Eddie: Jake the video shoot IS her work, where did she go? You can tell me the truth you know…

Jake: Work Eddie, it's just work (Jake was having a hard time keeping the secret and he heard this worry in Eddie's voice that made him want to tell him)

Eddie: (Eddie was getting impatient) Please Jake I just want to know she's ok

Jake: (he gave in) OK she said she needed time to process and focus. She went to her beach bungalow.

Eddie: Is this about what happened with Cam? Is all that stuff true that was in the gossip sites on line? (Eddie knew it was true but he never knew for sure if gossip sites were lying or not; that's why they're called gossip sites)

Jake: Damn it's probably all over the place that they broke up. Yes Eddie they broke up and I don't know if the stories in the gossip sites are true but I know they broke up.

Eddie: I'm coming to the office so stay there (he didn't want to talk about this on the phone)

Jake: ok

Ten minutes later Eddie was there and got right back into the conversation they had on the phone

Eddie: Oh man; she shouldn't be alone right now, she really did love that ass whole; is she ok? How did she sound on the phone? I don't blame her for leaving. I wouldn't want to answer any questions either. I wish I could see her right now! (Eddies' voice was really worried; almost panicked, he was talking to himself but at the same time he was talking to Jake as well)

Just then Jake started to get this smirk on his face and Eddie looked up and was immediately irritated

Eddie: Jake why are you smiling? There is absolutely nothing to smile about right now (his voice sounded like he was irritated)

Jake: (still smirking) you like Loren; don't you?

Eddie was surprised by what Jake said (he thought.) Was I that obvious? I'll just pretend I don't know what he means and say I like her as a friend.

Eddie: Of course I like her, she is probably my best friend and I can't stand thinking about her hurting right now.

Jake: Eddie… Come on I don't think I have ever seen you this worried about someone before. Just admit it.

Eddie was not about to admit to Jake that he liked his daughter or maybe even loved her, so he stood his ground.

Eddie: Jake I have no idea what you're talking about (he wanted to make sure Loren was ok so he thought he would end this conversation)

Jake: mhm…

Eddie: Whatever, I'm going to call her (Eddie was about to walk out of the room when Jake got an idea)

Jake heard the worry in Eddie's voice and then he had an idea as to how to keep Loren safe and maybe even make her feel better, but It would betray her trust, but he knew she had a soft spot for Eddie and wouldn't mind seeing him and he also knew for sure now that Eddie was falling for his daughter.

Jake: Wait…

Eddie: What! (he just wanted to hear Loren's voice and he sounded irritated)

Jake: Eddie I don't know if this is the right thing to do but I don't want Loren to hurt all by herself…

Eddie: What are you talking about Jake?

Jake: Just go to her man…

Eddie: I have no idea where she is Jake and what if she doesn't want to see me?

Jake: Eddie I know you like her and I also know that she lights up whenever she hears your name and even though she just broke up with Cameron, she won't mind seeing you and I can tell you where her bungalow is.

Eddie smiled when Jake said that Loren lit up when she heard his name; he really liked her and he was really scared that if he went up there that he would be intruding because he knew that Loren hated showing her vulnerability to anyone but he really just wanted to make sure she was ok and to hear her voice and see those big brown eyes of hers in person so he nodded when Jake said he would tell him where the bungalow is.

Eddie: Ok

Jake: Just promise not to hurt my little girl more than she already is and I know she acts strong but really she is devastated and I heard that in her voice on the phone

Eddie was taken back by how compassionate Jake was over his daughter and her feelings; he had never seen Jake act like that towards anyone.

Eddie: I promise Jake. If it were up to me I would be breaking Cameron's neck right now. I will never hurt her intentionally ever and anyone who tries has to go through me. Now please Just give me the address.

Jake: (Jake smiled when he heard what Eddie said) Ok but on one condition. (he smirked again)

Eddie was getting impatient again

Eddie: What?!

Jake: Admit you like her (still smirking)

Eddie was fed up, and he gave up

Eddie: Fine OK! I like her! I literally don't smile until I hear her voice every single day ok! Happy? is that what you wanted to hear Jake?

Jake: (Jake chuckled) Yup that's it now here's the address, it's actually really close to your bungalow

He gave him the address and when Jake was about to say something else, Eddie was already out the door. Jake smiled to himself.

Jake: Man he's got it bad…

Eddie decided that since his bungalow was near Loren's that he would just get clothes and stuff that he needed from there so he was just driving straight there. He still wanted to call her and make sure she was ok but he wasn't going to tell her that he was coming.

Back to Loren.

She was about to shut her phone when she got a call that almost made her smile… She picked it up because she needed something to calm her down and hearing his voice would do the trick.

Loren: Hi Eddie (She didn't realize how sad and weak her voice sounded until she actually heard herself speak)

Eddie: Hey Loren (he sounded relieved to hear her voice because he figured she wouldn't pick up)

Loren was getting out of her car and walking into the bungalow as she was talking to Eddie

There was a silence until Eddie finally said something

Eddie: Loren; Jake told me you were going out of town for week. Is everything ok?

Loren: (Loren sighed) Yeah everything is fine. I just have some stuff to do for my album but I'll be back.

Eddie: Loren; are you ok?

Loren was now sitting on her couch; she knew what Eddie was talking about now and she honestly just needed a hug at this point.

Loren: (she sounded like she was about to cry) Oh you heard huh?

Eddie: yeah I did

Loren: So is it trending on Twitter yet? (she said humorlessly)

Eddie: (Eddie was driving as fast as he could now because he knew Loren needed him and he needed her just as much maybe more even though he saw her yesterday, he just needed to see her) Loren everything is going to be ok.

Loren was actually calming down when she heard Eddie's voice but she felt herself starting to get upset again.

Loren: Thanks Eddie I got to go ok.

Eddie had just gotten there and was almost sprinting to her door.

Eddie: Loren, I know where you are; Jake told me.

Loren didn't know what to say then there was a knock at the door

Loren: One second Eddie.

Loren opened the door and dropped her phone when she saw him. There he was, she didn't know what to say but she knew she needed him. All she said was "Eddie?" and she just ran into his arms and held him tight with her arms around his neck. It was silent for a good 2 minutes. Eddie was holding her as if he never wanted to let go, running his hand through her hair while the other was wrapped tightly around her. Loren couldn't help it; she just started crying into his chest.

Eddie: (his heart was breaking when Loren started crying) shhhh Loren it's ok

Loren: (she sniffled and her hold on him loosened as she looked up into his eyes) Eddie, I'm sorry I'm letting this all out on you.

Eddie: No, Loren it's ok. Honestly the second I found out about this I knew you would be hurting, and I just had to see you.

Loren: (sniffled again, sucking in her tears, still holding on to him) How did you know I needed you Eddie?

Eddie: I don't know, I just had a feeling in my gut and I didn't want you to be alone.

Eddie wiped Loren's tears away with his thumb and looked into her eyes

Loren: Thank you Eddie.

Eddie: For what?

Loren: For coming all the way here just to make sure I was ok. (She got out of their intense hug and smiled then she led Eddie over to the couch)

Eddie: Anytime. (He finally saw the smile he was waiting to see all day long; the smile that can make even the most evil person turn good)

Loren got up and said: Well are you hungry? (She said changing the subject)

Eddie: I was just here to make sure you're ok Loren. I'm going to let you have your alone time and get out of your hair. (he got up and started to walk towards the door when Loren grabbed his hand)

Loren: Eddie, don't go. You drove all the way down here just to talk to me for 5 minutes? Plus it's late. Why don't you just stay the night?

Eddie: Actually my bungalow is just down the beach so I was just going to stay there and go back in the morning. I know you came up here to be alone Loren and I- (he was interrupted by Loren)

Loren: Eddie, I thought I wanted to be alone but I don't. I really need you right now. Besides, it gets lonely up here sometimes. (She looked into his eyes giving him puppy dog eyes, and right away he knew he was a goner but he had to try and compromise even though he and she both knew Loren had already won)

Eddie: It's cool, I can come back tom. And check on you and then I'll go home

Loren: (Still with the puppy dog eyes) Please stay…

Eddie: (Eddie felt defeated but really happy that she wanted him to stay) Ok ill stay the night but only if you make dinner; your cooking is amazing. (He said with a smirk.)

Loren: (She lit up.) You got it! But only if you help. (She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the kitchen.)

OK so for some reason people are only putting reviews on chapter one and asking me if this is a one shot, lol there are 4 chapters to this now, not just one so people, read and review the other ones too. I was just wondering if people didn't notice the other chapters too.

Hope you liked it! Feedback please!
