Well, looks like I can post a new chapter today! Oh! Thanks for the reviews!
I, sadly, don't own Hollywood Heights.
When Eddie got off the phone with his dad, (You'll find out why he called him later in this chapter.) he walked back into the living room, where his sleeping girlfriend is. He sat on the glass table and just watched her. Yea, it may sound creepy, but he can't help it. She looked beautiful. Her hair in spread everywhere, her mouth open slightly, the way she shifted, the sound of her lightly snoring. Eddie thought she looked beautiful. He sat there for about 5 minutes, thinking. Then something took him out of his trance.
"Eddie.." Loren mumbled in her sleep, turning to face him. Eddie leaned forward, listening closely.
"No…stop!" She mumbled, turning her head from side to side. Eddie got up and kneeled down beside her. He shook her, trying to wake her up.
"Loren, Lo. Wake up. Babe, come one. Wake up. It's just a dream." He said, still shaking her.
"Eddie!" She yelled, sitting up. She looked around and saw Eddie staring at her with concern in his eyes. She closed her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead. Eddie rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.
"Lo," He said gently, "Are you okay?"
Loren looked up at him and nodded. She moved over, allowing him to sit with her. Eddie caught on quickly and moved next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Loren laid her head on his chest. She was shaking so slightly so Eddie stroked her hair, hoping it would calm her down.
"Shh, Loren. You're okay. I'm right here." He whispered.
After a while, Loren's shaking finally stopped. She sat up and wiped her eyes, not knowing she was crying a little.
"Want to talk about it?" Eddie asked, carefully, not wanting to force her into telling him. Loren shook her head. Eddie put both of his hands on her both of her cheeks and pulled her face to his. He planted a soft kiss on her lips and just savored the moment. That was just what Loren needed, Eddie to be there for and with her. She knew he would. Eddie and Loren pulled away and looked at each other in the eyes.
"Listen, I'm here for you. I don't want you to think that I'm leaving." Eddie whispered. Loren looked up at him, her eyes showing nothing but love. She nodded and snuggled into his side.
After 20 minutes, Eddie went to the kitchen to make food, while Loren was in the living room, flipping through channels. She stopped at the news and just sat there, her head resting on the palm of her hand. Her head was soon lifted, in shock.
"Loren Tate, in the hospital. She seems to have come out okay, but the question is, why was she there? Eddie Duran seems to have helped her out. What do you think is wrong with her?"
A picture popped on screen of her and Eddie, Loren's hand placed on her stomach, looking down and Eddie's hand on her lower back with anger and fear written all over his face. The reporter started talking again.
"Some people might think she's pregnant. It seems like it. I mean, look. Her hand is on her stomach, and she's walking out of the hospital. Plus, Eddie's face doesn't seem as happy as most men look when they get the news. Is it possible there might be a new little Duran in the world? Well, we hope!"
Loren's mouth was open in shock. She jerked the remote from its spot on the couch and harshly hit the power button.
They'll do anything to ruin my life. And what did they mean Eddie wouldn't be happy if I was pregnant? Ugh! These lies are getting to my head. Loren thought.
She threw the remote to the other side of the couch.
"What's wrong?"
Loren turned around and saw Eddie standing there.
"The news, they're making up lies." She said, annoyed. Eddie sat next to her.
"Like what?"
Loren sighed, "Paparazzi saw us walk out the hospital, so now we're on the news. Now they think I'm pregnant." She said, irritated.
Eddie's eyes grew.
"Really? Why would they think that?" He asked. Loren sighed.
"Because, my hand was on my stomach and you were helping me out of the hospital." She explained. Eddie nodded.
"That makes sense."
They sat there for a while until Loren spoke up.
"They also though that I was pregnant because of the look on your face."
Eddie turned to her, confused, "What did my face look like?"
Loren turned to him.
"Your face showed anger, and fear." She said. "Would you be upset if I was really pregnant?" She suddenly asked. Eddie turned to her with a shocked face.
"Of course not. I would be thrilled. And someday I would like to see a little me or you running around her." Eddie said, placing his hand on her stomach. Loren smiled and covered his hand with hers.
"Me too."
Just then, Eddie remembered something.
"Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you that I called my dad earlier, while you were sleeping, and asked him a favor." He said, removing his hand and put his and Loren's together.
"What was the favor?" She asked.
"Well, my dad knows this detective and he's really good. I asked him to look for Cam, since he knows the we know it's him, he's probably hiding." Eddie explained. Loren sat up straighter.
"What did he say?" She asked.
"He said he'll have to see if he can. I explained the whole situation to him, so he said he would do the same to the detective." He said. Loren nodded and sighed.
"Hey," Eddie whispered. Loren looked up, "Don't worry. This will be over soon." He said. She nodded and gave Eddie a kiss.
"Come on, food's on the counter, just waiting to be eaten." Eddie said, after breaking the kiss. Loren laughed and nodded. They got up and went to the kitchen to eat.
Hope you liked it! Do you think that I should put a little Loren or Eddie in this story? And of so then when?
'Til next time!
