Chapter 17. Well Hello!

Things at the hospital were getting really intense. But back at Loren and Eddie's they weren't. Eddie realized Loren and fell asleep so he got up and went to the piano. He started to play a tune that was in his head the whole while he and Loren were laying down talking. As time went on he started to write lyrics to them. He loved Loren so much to the point where even his music expressed it. Loren slowly woke up to the sounds of Eddie at the piano. She didn't want to interrupt him so she stayed in bed and just listen to him play. She listened to the word of his song and got goose bumps. She grabbed a pillow and wrapped her arms around it closing her eyes in a daze with Eddie's song. Starting to catch on to the melody she hummed along with the song. Eddie stopped playing and was heading back to bed. Loren didn't want Eddie to know she was listening so she quickly turned over and pretended she was sleeping. Eddie walked in the room and saw a peaceful Loren sleeping. He got back in bed and pulled Loren in close to him and wrapped his arms around her.

Eddie: Lo, I know your up –He said smiling-

Loren: -Laughing- How did you know I was up?

Eddie: Well first off you weren't spooning a pillow when I got up, and second I could hear you humming from the front room. –He said laughing-

Loren: You think you're so smart don't you?

Eddie: I know I am. –He started to kiss her neck-

Loren: I'm tired Eddie not tonight…-She said pulling her sheet down enough uncovering her shirtless body-

Eddie: I'll show you tired –He said laughing-

*Mean while at the hospital*

Jake: What's going on here?

Tyler: What does it look like! I'm asking Chloe to marry me!

Jake: Chloe…you're really going to marry him?

Chloe: Tyler I can't marry you I'm so sorry…I just realized how much I want to be with Jake.

Tyler: What!

Jake: Really Chloe?

Chloe: Yes Jake…I want to be a real family…do you think we can do that?

Jake: Yes Chloe! Of course!

Jake ran over to Chloe and kissed her. He was happier then he had been in a long time. Tyler on the other hand was mad as hell. Tyler ran out of the room and went to his car to head home. He knew Chloe didn't love Jake but she had a plan. Tyler was right Chloe did have a plan. She thought that if she were to stay with Jake she would see a lot of Eddie. She knew Eddie would fall for her again if given the opportunity and this one was perfect. She also didn't mind that Jake wasn't bad eye candy and had money. Chloe's plan was in full effect.

*Back at Eddie's and Loren's*

Loren and Eddie had an amazing night and both of them were wide awake now. Loren was telling Eddie how much she liked the song he was writing when Eddie got a text.

12:38 A.M.

Open Up Mate!

Loren: Who was that?

Eddie: It's Ian –He said smiling-

Loren: Why is he texting you this late?

Eddie: Because he's here –He said laughing-

Eddie got out of bed and put his cloths on to go and get the door.

Eddie: Ian…man what's up?

Ian: Hey mate! – He said hugging Eddie-

Eddie: What are you doing here so late?

Ian: Just got in town and I thought I would crash at your place.

Eddie: You don't even have to ask dude…you're welcome to stay here anytime.

Ian: How about we go out and have a couple drinks?

Eddie: Can't do that…

Ian: You don't want to get some drinks with your best mate? What's gotten into you?

Ian heard a noise come from the back room

Ian: Ohhh…The valley girl is here!

Eddie: Her name is Loren…and she lives here now –He said while sitting on the sofa-

Ian: You dog! Well when's the wedding? –He said laughing-

Eddie: Don't get ahead of yourself…were taking things slow.

Ian: Whatever you say mate…

Eddie: What made you come in town anyway?

Ian: A small job…but you know I never turn down a chance to see my favorite rock star –He said nudging Eddie-

Eddie and Ian were catching up and Loren didn't want to interrupt them so she fell asleep. Ian didn't tell Eddie but he really came in town see how Eddie was doing. He heard about all the baby drama with Chloe so he needed to make sure everything was ok in person.

Ian: So not to bring up a touchy subject, but what the hell is going on with this Chloe situation?

Eddie: Not my concern anymore…the baby's not mine.

Ian: Thank goodness !

Eddie: You seem happier then I was.

Ian: Well let's face it…you're not ready for any little Duran's to be running around here anytime soon.

Eddie: Yea your right…-He said laughing-

Ian: Ok enough talking to me go get back to the Mrs. I'm pretty sure she's in there waiting for you.

Eddie: We will talking the morning ok? –He said throwing a pillow at Ian-

Ian: Sounds good…tell valley girl, I mean Loren I said good night. –Smiling-

Eddie walked away leaving Ian to make himself comfortable in the guest bedroom. When he got in the room he found a sleeping Loren wrapped up in the covers. He slowly climbed into bed not wanting to wake her. Eddie gradually got under the covers and wrapped Loren in his arms slowly falling asleep. Ian on the other hand had other plans. The last time he came and visited Loren introduced him to Mel and just can get her out of his mind. They had been texting for awhile but slowly lost touch. While he was were to check up on Eddie he thought it would also be a great idea for him and Mel to reconnect. Mel really liked Ian, but the long distance seemed to be too much for her to handle. She thought maybe Ian didn't have the same feelings she had for him so she just never gave them being in a relationship any thought. Ian was sick of wondering what might have happened if he and Mel got together so he decided to swallow his pride and take a chance and text her to let her know he was in town.

1:04 A.M.

Hey Beautiful! Just thought I would let you know I was in town for a couple of day and really would love to catch up with you. Call me tomorrow when you have time.

—Ian

Mel was shocked when she got the text. She wasn't going to let Ian get away from her this time. She knew he was the one. It was time for Mel to find love.
