Hey! For those who get where I'm coming from and know why I'm writing the story how I am, thank you so much. For those who don't, well, read and you'll get it soon. Love ya!
Loren looked at Eddie with a shocked expression.
"Really?" She asked.
"Really." Eddie replied. She smiled and gave him a big hug.
"Yes." She whispered. Eddie smiled and hugged her tighter.
"Wait," Loren pulled away from the hug, "You dragged me-"
"Carried." Eddie corrected.
Loren rolled her eyes "-Carried me all the way over here just to ask that?" She asked, crossing her arms. Eddie smiled sheepishly.
"Well, Mel, Pops, and Nora wanted to hear your answer in person and they were too stubborn to come over." Eddie said, giving the three a knowing glance.
"Why?" Loren laughed. She looked at the three.
They just shrugged, causing Loren and Eddie to roll their eyes.
"Okay! Anyways, it's official! You and Lo are moving in together! Now, we just need Eddie to propose." Mel said looking at Eddie. Eddie's eyes grew and he put his hands up.
"Whoa Mel, slow down. One step at a time." Loren said, putting her hands in front of her.
Mel groaned, "Fine."
Eddie looked at Loren and smiled at her.
"So, when do you want to start packing?" He asked. Loren smiled.
~Line Break~
(Yeah, I'm going to start doing that now c;)
"Is that the last box?" Loren asked looking back at the car.
"Yep, you officially live with me."
Loren smiled and kissed him.
"Come one." Eddie whispered after breaking the kiss. Loren nodded.
"Oh, hey, I forgot, what did your dad say about the detective?" Loren asked. Eddie stiffened a bit but then relaxed.
"Well, he said that he couldn't help because he was on another case. He said I should just report Cameron. But the problem is, we don't know where he's at. Yeah we know he's close, but he'll know what we're going to do since he knows our every move." Eddie explained.
Loren sighed, knowing he was right. If Cameron knew they are going to report him-which he will- he'll just run then come back when the cops find nothing.
"Hey," Eddie said, realizing her sadness and fear, "What do I tell you all the time?"
Loren looked in his eyes, "You'll protect me and you won't lose me."
Eddie smiled and nudged his nose with hers.
"Exactly."
Loren and Eddie walked into their penthouse. Their. That's going to have to get some getting use to.
"So, what do you want for dinner?" Eddie asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Uh, let's just order some pizza and watch movies?" She asked.
"I like that idea." Eddie said, coming out of the kitchen.
While Eddie was on the phone with the pizza guy, Loren realized she had her phone turned down so she checked her phone for any missed calls, texts, notifications, etc. She saw one new text message.
"Awe. You're moving in together! How cute. Oh! I saw that lovely necklace Eddie got you for your birthday! It would be a shame to lose it… -X"
What? Wait….
Loren ran up to her and Eddie's room. She flung the door open and the room was a total mess. Bed was unmade; blankets everywhere, drawers hung out or are out across the room, the lamp shade was half way off, pillows ripped. She raced to the dresser and looked under the clock, here hidden place where she kept the necklace.
It was gone. It was a heart shaped locket and inside was a picture of her and Eddie and in the back was engraved L&E.
Loren felt tears well up in her eyes. She loved that thing to death. Now it was gone. Sure they can get her a new one but it's not the same. Don't ask how, it jus is.
"Lo!" Eddie called. She could hear him coming up the stairs. She slowly sat on the bed, crying.
Eddie walked in and his eyes grew.
"What happened in here?! What's wrong?" Eddie raced to Loren.
"C-Cameron broke in. He took my necklace, the one you gave me for my birthday." She cried. Eddie's face grew with anger but tried to keep calm, for Loren's sake.
"Sh, Lo. It's okay. We can get you a new one." He whispered.
"No! It can't be replaced! That was the first thing you've ever gotten me so it meant so much!" She exclaimed. Eddie sighed and just wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
"I know, babe. It's okay. We'll get it back."
Loren cried into his chest. Why her! What did she do? What did she ever do to Cameron? Then she remembered what he said when he tied her up. "See what happens when you reject me?"
Loren pulled away from Eddie and stared right at the window.
"Loren?" Eddie asked. She stayed silent.
"Lo?" He tried again.
"I know why he's after me." She suddenly whispered. Eddie looked at her confused.
"What?"
Loren turned to Eddie, "I know what Cameron's after me."
"What? Why?" He asked.
"One day at the café, before we were dating, Cameron came in. I had 5 minutes left on my break. -Sorry, don't remember that episode. I don't know if she was on her break or not. ;P- He said he wanted to talk. I agreed and he said he had feelings for me. I told him I only see him as a friend. He assumed I rejected him because of you. I tried convincing him it wasn't but he saw right through me. After that, he's been distant and angry. He said I didn't have a chance with you." She explained.
Eddie looked at her and gave her a kiss. This one was different from all the other ones. This one was filled with passion and just love. He pulled her closer by the waist and deepened the kiss. Loren wasn't complaining. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back. After a while, they pulled away.
"You've always had a chance." Eddie said breathless.
"Wait, what about Chlo-"
"You mean so much more to me than Chloe ever did." Eddie said, cutting her off. Loren looked at him with surprise.
"Really?"
Eddie smiled and nodded. Loren smiled and had tears of happiness run down her cheeks. She leaned in and gave him another kiss.
"Come one. Let's clean the room. Pizza guy will be here any minute." Eddie said after breaking the kiss.
Loren smiled and nodded.
