SYSLT: Soldier – Gavin Degraw
Chapter 2
"I know you don't believe it,
But I said it, and I still mean it.
If you heard what I told you,
When you get worried,
I'll be your soldier."
Loren's POV
The stranger, named Eddie and I talked for about half an hour, it was an amazing half an hour. After that I needed to head home and get ready – well, I was already ready. I just needed to fix my make up.
HONK! HONK!
„I'm leaving mom! Love you!" I yelled as I ran out of the house. Into my best friend's car. "Hey Mel!" "Hey Lo, are you ready to have the time of your life?" "Yes." We laughed and joked on our way to the Avalon. I was excited. So wired. Just because I was going to see someone perform. Wait, I wasn't going to see just someone perform, I was going to see Eddie Duran perfom. „These are fake." And for so far my happiness. „No, They can't be! Check them again." „I already did twice, these are definetely fake. Step out of the line please." „No, no they can't be." I said. "Come on Lo!" Mel said to me while she grabbed my hand. "Woah, what are you doing Mel?" "Just trust me, Lo." We walked into a dark alley. I was a little scared, I had to admit. "What are we doing here?" I asked her. "Back entrance."
Eddie's POV
I walked outside and heard a voice "You want me to break in to a stadion. What the hell." "Lo, why won't you give it a try." I turned my head and saw Loren talking to a girl. Like, the Loren I just met. "Mel, we're gonna get caught and I wouldn't mind to stay out of jail. Who sold you those fake tickets anyways?" "Well, I might have gotten him from Phil." The other girl said hessitating. „From Phil?! Mel, you can't trust him." „I know, I know. Why don't I have different Family?" the girl that was supposedly Mel said. I chuckled. They both turned around and saw me. Loren's eyes widened and she blushed in embarrassement. „Hey-„ I stopped talking, I realized Loren doesn't know I'm Eddie Duran, She know's I'm Eddie, but not the Duran part. „Would you both like to get in?" I asked them. Loren just nodded in disbelieve. So did Mel. „Thank you, thank you so much." Loren said to me. I just simply smiled at her and gestured her to come inside. Loren was so beautiful. She was even more beautiful now that she had a happier look in her eyes and without the make up over her cheeks instead of on her eyelids. I gave both of them front row wristbands. And sent them in the crowd. It was time, time for me to get on stage. So I did. I got on stage and sang my heart out. It felt amazing.
I reached the bridge of Something in the air and I searched for Loren in the front row. She stuck her hand out and I walked over there and grabbed her hand. I sang to her. And again I realized how beautiful her eyes where. The crowd stopped dancing and I realized that the song was already over. I got lost, staring into Loren's eyes. I walked to the center of the stage and left a speechless Loren. I was speechless myself too. "Well, euh. HAVE AN AMAZING NIGHT LA. BE GOOD FOR EACHOTHER!" I said kissing my two fingers and holding them up in the air. I walked off stage right into my dad's arms. "You've done such a great job buddy." "Awe, thank you Pop, You're amazing!" "Eddie, what was that?" Jake asked curious, he didn't look that happy. "What was what?" "That girl, you held a fan's hand for a long part of a song." I blushed slightly. "She isn't really a fan- well, she is but she is my friend." "And that's why she was in awe that you held her hand?" "I met her earlier tonight. She knows me as Eddie, not Eddie Duran." "but she saw you right?" "It was dark and I had my disguise on. We talked. She's so amazing." "My son has a crush on a girl I haven't met. I need to meet her." "Well, I don't have a crush on her." "You don't? Tell that to your cheeks, they are a little red." „Dad!" „What?" „Cut the innocent act." My dad laughed, so did jake. „Are you both laughing at me now?" „No it's just like when you were in high school and you always denied you had crushes on girls back then, when you did. Those were good times." I chuckled. I wasn't going to let her meet my dad anytime soon. I don't want her to find out that I'm Eddie Duran. I just want to know if she likes my personality too. Not just my last name and bank acount. No, Loren wasn't going to find it out anytime soon.
