Hi! Last chapter! Well, I don't think some of you guys know, but I put up chapter 16 last night ^.^ So that means, I got two chapters up last night! Alright! Well, I promised you guys I would make this chapter long. I 'm hoping I can get to 2,000 words or more. That is, if I don't run out of ideas. Well, enjoy the last chapter!
~(With Phil and Eddie's fight)~
Cameron got up and looked at Phil and Eddie.
"Well, looks like Eddie isn't as strong as everyone thinks he is." He said, breathing heavily.
Phil scoffed, "Please, he's stronger than you."
"Oh really? Then why does he need you to help fight me? Huh?"
Phil rolled his eyes, "Dude, he doesn't need help. Loren is like my sister. You touch her, you get crap beat out of you." He said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oooh, so I have the boyfriend and the 'brother' on me now?" Cameron asked, crossing his arms.
Their eyes darkened, "Yeah,"
~(With the others in the basement.)~
"I'm not scared of you guys." Chloe said, crossing her arms.
The men rolled your eyes, "We don't expect you to be." They moved closer to her, "But we can see it in your eyes. You are scared. Not of us, but of getting caught."
Chloe stiffened a bit.
"S-so. I know we won't."
Gus and Max smirked. Their eyes landed on Loren and saw that she was still on the phone, her face scrunched up in pain.
"What happened?" Max asked, walking over to Loren. Loren is like his daughter, so technically Max and Gus were saving their daughter. And friend, of course.
Mel looked back at Loren, "Chloe yanked her down and she hit the ground pretty hard. I think she hit her head."
It did look like she hit her head. He eyes were half open; she looked like she was about to black out.
"Loren…" Max said, "Can you hear me?"
Max's voice was faint. Loren let out a breath. Uh-oh. Not a good sign.
"Loren, no! Keep your eyes open! Look at me!" Max commanded.
Chloe stood there, smirking. Gus was behind her, ready to hold her down. Then boom! He pounced. He grabbed her wrists and yanked them back, holding them in place.
"Hey! Let me go!" She yelled. She was getting ready to stomp on his foot, bur he moved it out of the way, causing her to break her heal.
"Ah!" She squeaked, falling to the side. She regained her balance and struggle out of his grip.
Gus gritted his teeth and held on tighter. Finally, she gave up and just stood there.
"Mel, I think it's time to get the police here," Max said, then looked at Loren, "And an ambulance."
~(The fight)~
Cameron charged at Eddie, only to run into the wall. Eddie stepped back and looked Cameron.
"Ouch. That's gotta hurt." Eddie asked, making a face of pain to make it even more dramatic.
Cameron growled and punched him right in the nose, causing him to stumble. Phil clenched his fisted and punched Cameron in the stomach.
Cameron bent down, holding his stomach. Phil then punched him in the face, making him fall. Then Phil started kicking him. Once Cameron got his strength back, he grabbed Phil's ankle and moved it to the side, causing Phil to fall on the ground with a soft/hard thud. Cameron jumped up and was about to kick Phil, until he felt someone flick his head.
Cameron turned around and saw Eddie standing there. Eddie did a cheeky wave and strikes at Cameron, punching him in the nose. Cameron's hand flew to his nose as he stumbled.
Eddie held out his hand, offering to help Phil up. Phil gratefully grabbed his hand and pushed himself up, with the help of Eddie. By this point, there were breathing heavily.
"You okay?" Eddie asked. Phil nodded, panting.
"Yeah, are you?" He asked.
Eddie nodded, "Come on, we're not done."
Phil looked over at Cameron and nodded.
~(Basement scene)~
Mel nodded and got out her phone.
She dialed the number and went to the other side of the room.
"Loren, come one. You have to stay with me." Max said, grabbing her hand.
Loren tried to stay awake, but her eyelids got heavier. After a while, her eyes got too heavy to bear and closed them.
"Loren! No!" Max yelled. Adrianna closed her eyes and cried silently. Mel looked over and saw that her best friend had closed her eyes.
"Hurry!" She yelled into the phone and raced to her best friend.
"No! Lo, please! No! No! C'mon! Please wake up Loren! Please!" She cried. Nothing. She cried harder.
Chloe smirked.
Mel took deep breaths and stood up. She walked over to Chloe and slapped her across the face. Hard.
"If she dies, I will kill you." She threatened. She slapped her again and went back to her Loren, grabbing her hand.
"Please…"
~(The fight)~
"If Loren dies, I will kill you!" Eddie growled, pushing Cameron up against the wall by his collar.
He can hear Max and then pleading for Loren to stay with him. That just fueled him even more.
"I don't care! Then I'll die, knowing I accomplished what I've wanted to do!"
"Shut up!" Eddie screamed to the top of his lungs. You could hear the anger in his voice. That gave Cameron a little bit of fear. Just a little.
"What's wrong? Someone can't handle their little girlfri-"
Eddie punched Cameron in the face as hard as he could, before Cameron can finish.
Cameron felt a little dizzy and Eddie noticed. He took the chance to punch him over and over again. Finally, Cameron's had enough and blacked out.
Eddie let go of his collar, making him fall to the floor.
"Come on. Let's go get Loren." Phil said. Eddie nodded and ran to the basement.
~(In the basement.)~
"When will they get here?" Max asked.
"They're just down the street." Mel said, still focused on Loren.
Max nodded and looked back at Loren.
Suddenly, the basement door opened. Everyone turned their heads and saw Phil and Eddie run towards them.
"L-Loren?" Eddie asked and he saw his girlfriend on the floor, unconscious. He fell to his knees, crying.
"Eddie, she's going to be okay," Max said. Eddie shook his head and looked at Loren.
"Loren…" He whispered.
Max let go of Loren's hand and instantly, Eddie grasped it.
"Where's Cameron?" Adrianna asked.
"We took care of him." Phil said, bringing her into a hug.
"Good." Was all Mel said. Phil pulled away from Adrianna and hugged Mel. She, surprisingly, hugged him back.
Suddenly, there were sirens blaring from outside. Eddie quickly picked up Loren and ran out of the basement, with everyone following. Gus yanked Chloe up there.
"Eddie!" Nora yelled, running inside the house. She saw Loren in his arms and gasped.
She's never seen Loren this beaten up. Now that she's thought about it, she's never seen Loren hurt at all, only emotionally.
"Come on." Nora whispered. Eddie had tears running down his cheeks and nodded. They walked outside and paramedics came out and put Loren on a gurney. Cops came and cuffed Chloe and an unconscious Cameron.
"Let's go to the hospital." Mel said. Everyone nodded and like that, they were on their way.
~(At the hospital)~
It was over, it was all over. Now they just needed to know if Loren was okay.
Everyone was in the waiting room. They were all seated, except Eddie. He pacing back and forth, running his hands through his hair.
"Eddie, calm down, please." Mel asked.
Eddie shook his head, "I can't. I can't calm down, knowing my girlfriend is in a hospital room, not knowing if she was going to live or not."
"We've been here for two hours, and we know nothing!" He continued. Everyone just stayed silent.
Finally, after another hour, a doctor came out.
"Family of Loren Tate?" He called.
Eddie instantly went up to him.
"Is she going to be okay?" He asked. Everyone got up and went behind Eddie.
The doctor nodded, "Yeah, she'll be fine. But we have to keep her here for some testes." He said.
"Testes? What kind of testes?" Eddie asked nervously.
"Well, she seemed to have hit her head on something. And pretty hard too. So we have to run some testes to make sure everything's okay In her head." The doctor explained.
Eddie sighed and nodded, "Can we see her?"
The doctor nodded.
"Uh, Eddie?" Nora asked. Eddie turned to look at her, "You go see her. We're going to go get some coffee."
Eddie nodded and walked with the doctor to Loren's room.
"Here you are." He said.
Eddie nodded and slowly walked in.
When he did, he felt his heart break a little.
"Loren…" He whispered. Loren, weakly, turned her head and smiled at him.
"Hi.." She whispered.
Eddie walked over to her bed and pulled a chair to her side.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"My body hurts." She said.
Eddie chuckled lightly, "I know babe, I know."
He reached out and grabbed her hand.
"I-is it over?" Loren asked.
Eddie was happy to say that he nodded, "It's all over. He's gone. So is Chloe. No more crazy exes and friends. Just me and you."
Loren smiled, "Good."
Eddie slowly leaned over and kissed her lightly.
Soon a nurse came in, "Hi, sorry to interrupt, but we have to run some testes now."
Eddie nodded and Loren looked kind of panic.
"Testes, what testes?" She asked.
"Sh, don't worry babe, they just want to make sure your head's okay." Eddie said, gently rubbing her arm.
Loren relaxed and bit and nodded.
"Okay."
Eddie lightly picked her up and set her in the wheel chair the nurse brought in and lightly kissed her,
"I'll be here when you get back." He whispered.
Loren nodded and with that, she was wheeled out of the room.
An hour later, everyone said they were going to see Loren tomorrow so they went home, knowing she was in good hands.
Eddie, however, stayed, keeping his promise.
"Okay, she's all yours." The nurse said, wheeling Loren in the room. He looked down at her and saw that she was smiling.
"Anything wrong with her?" He asked.
The nurse smiled and shook her head.
"Nope. She's all good. She's just going to have headaches every now and then."
Eddie smiled and picked up Loren and set her on the bed.
"Thank you." Eddie told the nurse.
She smiled kindly at him, "No problem. Oh, and make sure you take real good care of her. She's a keeper."
Eddie turned to Loren.
"I know." He said, smiling.
And with that, she was out of the room.
Eddie walked back over to his chair and took Lorne's hand.
"So, feel any better?" He asked.
Loren shrugged lightly, "Little. They gave me some medicine to take away the pain. It's helping so far."
Eddoe smiled and kissed her hand, "Good."
They stayed silent for a few moments, until Eddie starts to speak Again,
"I love you, Loren. So much. If I lost you, then I don't know what I'd do. Loosing you would be like when I lost my mom."
Loren looked at him and smiled lightly.
"I love you too. Don't worry, I'm right here. I'm okay. That's all that matters." She said. Eddie nodded and gave her a kiss.
"I love you, Loren Tate."
"I love you too, Eddie Duran."
