Eddie's Return

Part 3

You guys are going to hate me; actually I sort of hate me right now. I wanted to make this more have more drama, but it just doesn't fit…yet. I promise drama will start and keep going it will get better. Also please review and give me suggestions. I am open to anything.

Where we left off…

Eddie: "Wow Pops, this is like déjà-vu! I used to get grounded all the time for not listening. But I guess it didn't work because I still haven't learned." He laughed, but Loren was still just standing there staring at her phone. "Lo, did you hear that? It's good news! Lo are you okay?"

Loren: I heard Eddie say my name a few times, but I just ignored him. The news about Chloe didn't shock me it was the rest of Twitter than shocked me. I sat down because I was starting to get a little light headed.

Eddie: What else did I not see? All I found was good news, but maybe Loren took some of it badly? I walked over and sat next to her. I placed my arm around her as she showed me her phone. It had 17 missed calls from Mel, plenty of Twitter updates, but it was what Loren was looking at that got to me. This is crazy! I can't believe this is happening! We aren't even in NYC yet.

Is this really happening?...

Eddie: Was this for real? I mean Loren is amazing, but I didn't think she was that good. Twitter read: "Loren Tate better than her own boyfriend? After finding out that Eddie Duran was still alive, Loren still put on a performance. Everyone, everywhere has been talking and well we all agree Eddie has taken a step down. Musically that is. Loren has killed her last two performances. This is causing fans to already line up in NYC to buy tickets for the festival just to see her. And below we give you live video of her fans going wild and she's not even in NYC yet. No one ever did this for Eddie!" The link appeared, but she kept scrolling to show me more. "Eddie Duran's twitter followers are still decreasing, even after his recent disappearance and then reappearance. He may be free from Chloe Carters wrath, but he won't be free from Loren Tate as she tops him on all charts even Twitter." She scrolled again showing me another story. "Will the new hot couple breakup after Eddie loses all his fans? Will Eddie, be like Tyler Rorke has suggested, and get mad?" Usually I don't read these sorts of things, but Loren does and this was getting to her. She should be excited, but instead she was scared. These articles were scaring her. "Lo, babe, nothing will ever come between us. I mean we may have to have a little competition with who has more followers, but it will not break us up. Reports are just sleazy and don't have lives so they have to make things up. Don't let this get to you, okay?"

Loren: Eddie was being so sweet and kind, but these reports really hurt my feelings. Why did they have to go and put things out there like that? They are always trying to ruin things. "I think I'm starting to realize why you don't read these things. They take good news and make it bad. Oh and I am totally winning this competition! What's the prize?"

Eddie: "You're only winning because I've been 'dead' and was accused of attempted murder. My fans will come back, and if not I will get new ones. Plus, I have plenty of new songs that I've written while I was gone!" Loren laughed as Jakes face lit up when he heard the words "new songs."

Jake: "Good Eddie because whether you were 'dead' or not the label still wants new songs!"

Eddie: "I figured they would want new songs."

Max: "Well, they can still cut him some slack. Let him have a week or so off to have a normal life again."

Jake: "Trust me, I've got that covered. Not just for Eddie, but because I need some time off to think to." Everyone but Kelly just looked at me waiting on an explanation.

Eddie: "Did I just hear you right? You're giving me and yourself time off? Wow Jake, I'm proud of you man. Learning that not everything has to be work, work, work." I could tell Jake had something to tell us all, but that he didn't wanna talk about it right now. He shot me a glare that said "Thanks man."

Loren: "Uhhh, Eddie did you forget something?" He just looked at me all confused. "You didn't tell me what my prize is going to be, since I'm already winning this competition." I wanted to get the subject off of Jake because I could tell he was struggling with something. And I truly wanted to get a prize.

Eddie: Way too many dirty things were running through my mind, so I couldn't answer Loren right there. I just kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "You'll find out. Now I'm to the bathroom, I was thinking and now I need to calm down." I got up and started walking away, then turned and winked at Loren.

Loren: Wow Eddie, really? I mouthed to him, "You're dirty," and then winked back. But this got me thinking. Was I ready? And if not when would I be? I didn't want this to be planned I wanted it to be spontaneous, but I also wanted to make sure the day after I didn't have much to do. So today was not going to be the day. Eddie arrived back from the bathroom and we decided to cuddle up and take a nap since we would be landing in an hour or so.

(40 minutes later)

Mom and Max were cuddled up and sleeping. Kelly fell asleep listing to that CD Eddie gave them. I didn't know if it was his CD or someone else's, but I would find out later. Jake fell asleep with his phone in his hands and I could see that he was looking at pictures of him and Traci. I guess she was on his mind. Or maybe something happened. I was getting up to use the restroom and fix my hair when Eddie woke up and pulled me back into a passionate kiss.

Eddie: "That's just one of your prizes." I smiled at Loren and let her go as she was breathless from that amazing kiss. I'm glad I take her breath away. With Chloe it was just like regular kissing. I can't explain it, but nothing compares to kissing Loren. I grabbed my phone to check the time and I seen a text from Ian. It read, "Hey mate, welcome back. Of course you die when I'm not there. You've got to tell me everything. Oh, and I'll see you in NYC I was invited from 'Valley Girls' little friend ;)" I can't believe Mel would invite him and not Adam. I wonder if that's why she had called so much. Loren came back and scared the hell out of me. I was lost in thought and she came behind me and started nibbling on my ear. "Hello Handsome," she said all seductively. I turned her around and kissed her. She leant back deepening our kiss, but we were sadly interrupted by the pilot telling us to buckle up. Loren went and woke up Pops and Nora and I woke up Kelly and Jake. I noticed Jakes phone had pictures of him and Traci pulled up. I guess he screwed up and she left or something, who knows.

Loren: I sat down next to Eddie and buckled up. He grabbed my hand and just held it until we were about to step of the plane. Before we reached the doors he pulled me back and told me to let everyone else going. He said we needed to get the crowd even more pumped. What crowd? There wouldn't be a crowd for us. According to the tabloids no one was a fan of Eddie and all my "fans" were at the festival or on Twitter. He pulled me into a quick yet sexy kiss and then we walked out hand-in-hand. There was really a crowd. They had signs saying "LEDDIE", apparently that was our couple name and I loved it. Eddie kissed me on the cheek and we walked towards the fans. We autographed things, mostly pictures of us two together, took pictures with fans and then got a whole bunch of fans together. We decided to take a big picture with our fans to post on Twitter. We gathered the girls who had signs saying "LEDDIE" and "WE LOVE YOU BOTH" and "WE KNEW YOU DIDN'T DO IT." There were also a few unique signs. One read "HAVE FUN IN JAIL CHLOE" another read "NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE TABLOIDS". We made sure those signs could be seen. We had Kelly take the picture because we wanted Max and my Mom in the picture along with Jake. I posted the picture on Twitter immediately and so did Eddie. The caption we put with the picture was, "We both have amazing fans. We don't care what anyone says. Oh, and read the signs they all speak the truth!" his then said love_to_love_you and mine said eddieduran.

Eddie: We headed to the Limo as we waved goodbye to our fans. Pops and Nora in one limo, Jake and Kelly in the other, and then me and Lo. Loren had come up with the Twitter idea and I loved it. It showed that yes we read what the tabloids had to say, but that none of it was true. The only thing Loren was worried about was me tagging her real Twitter for awhile she used a fake one that you would tag lorentate but we wanted people to see the real her before all this celebrity stuff so she put out a Tweet from the fake Twitter saying to follow the real her love_to_love_you. Thousands of people followed her real Twitter and I think that's why she was winning the game. So I needed to do some damage control and get my followers back. I Tweeted, "Hey everyone! I'm back! Everything that was said and done is in the past. I'm still the same old me, just have experienced more pain. I've learned how it feels to have your heart smashed three times in the matter of a few weeks. But I'm okay thanks to my amazing girlfriend love_to_love_you. Oh yeah, p.s. babe I'm gonna win! " I received immediate feedback, but one comment made my day. It was from Lo she said, " eddieduran no you won't! I'm better than you, remember? Oh and since you used the G word again I guess I get to use the B word now." But she didn't say it in her comment. I looked at her and she just had this smirk on her face and began typing. I was done on Twitter, my followers were increasing yet again. I could tell because my phone kept beeping so I just turned off Twitter notifications and waited for Loren to be done typing so I could get a prize since I was winning now.

Is this the famous Loren Tate?...

(A few hours earlier)

Mel: I was sitting in my room balling my eyes out. This boy wanted to throw a hissy fit over something as little as a trip to the place where he would be going to school. Something has been off about Adam and I needed to find out. I searched the internet like crazy when I found the video. Some shot a video of a drunken Adam taking body shots off of random girls and then kissing him. I guess this is why he hesitated to say I love you. But how could he just hide this from me? First he wants to get an attitude with me when he is the one who did wrong. Since Loren wouldn't answer her phone when I tried to call when I heard the news I figured she wouldn't answer now. So I called the only other person I could think of, Ian, the guy from the party that came with Eddie. He answer right away, almost too soon like he had been waiting on me to call. "Hello, would this be Mel, the party girl?" he said in his beautiful accent. "Yes it would be. Have you been waiting on me to call or something?"

Ian: "Actually, yes love I have been waiting. You are the only person who I can talk to that actually gets me. And since I didn't have you number I couldn't call."

Mel: "How'd you know this was me then?"

Ian: "I've just been guessing when I get a call from an unknown L.A. number."

Mel: I laughed a little at Ian and the sadly said, "Are you in town?"

Ian: "No, but I can be. What's wrong love?"

Mel: "How'd you know something was wrong?"

Ian: "As scary as it is to say, I can read you. Better than anyone I've ever met, even Ed. Now what's going on?"

Mel: "I would rather not talk about it over the phone if you can get to L.A. How long will it take you to get here?"

Ian: "About 2 hours."

Mel: "Perfect. I'll meet you at the airport because your coming with me to NYC to see Loren perform!"

Ian: "Sounds good love. I'll let you know when I arrive at LAX and then we can talk out all your problems, okay?"

(Present time)

Mel: "Thanks Ian." I said and then hung up the phone. It was not like talking to Lo, but it still worked. Not even a minute later my phone started ringing. "Forget something Ian?" I said answering the phone not looking at the caller I.D.

Person: "Ummm, no Mel it's not. And why are you talking to Ian?"

Mel: "Is this the famous Loren Tate?" She just laughed and I heard Eddie in the background, "Hey to you too Mel and why are you talking to my buddy, Ian?" I just laughed and then began to answer. "Well, Eddie since your GIRLLLLLFRIEND wouldn't answer her phone I needed to call someone and he came to mind."

Eddie: "Oh, sorry Mel. And thanks for putting emphasis on the G word now Loren's gonna bring it up again." I said laughing.

Mel: "Well then I guess you didn't see her Tweet…"

Loren: "Okay Mel!" I said interrupting her and turning the phone of speaker. "What's up, why'd you call so many times?"

Mel: "Well, at first it was to congratulate you on your amazing news and the news about Chloe, but then it changed. Lo, Ad-Adam and I bro-bro-broke up." I stated as tears began to fall.

Loren: "Oh Mel, I'm so sorry! If I would've known I would've called you back right away. I'm sorry for being a horrible best friend and not being there for you."

Mel: "Lo, its okay Ian helped me. Oh and tell Eddie that me and Ian are hanging out today, I wanna hear what he says."

Loren: "Ummm okay." I got Eddie's attention and told him, "Hey Mel told me to tell you that Ian and her are hanging out today."

Eddie: "Alright knew that Mel! Ian texted me and told me. Have fun, and don't hurt the boy Mel!" Mel just laughed and said goodbye to Loren.

Hungry?…

Eddie: Mel and I were telling each other a secret without letting Loren notice. She didn't know that Mel was coming to NYC. We wanted to surprise her. But now Ian would be there and this could be bad because Ian gets me in trouble. We arrived to the hotel and I heard Lo's stomach growl. "Hungry babe?"

Loren: "Yes I'm starving I didn't eat breakfast because I was too nervous about you and then just didn't eat on the plane."

Eddie: "Well do you wanna stay in until you have to get ready for your concert or go out?"

Loren: "Let's just stay in. I just want to be lazy for a while."

Eddie: I just laughed at Loren and then called room service. I order some pastrami sandwiches, to bring back a good memory and then some chocolate chip cookies. Loren laughed when she heard me order. It was hard for me to order. Usually I order a lot and give the leftovers to the shelter down the street, but today there wasn't a shelter around the hotel. We sat down on the couch and cuddle watching Ridiculousness, we wanted to watch something funny to keep us in a good mood. We talked and laughed for a good 20 minutes before there was a knock at the door.

Is it there food or is it a visitor? Who knows? Me !

Please review and give suggestions. I love you all soooo much , thanks for reading! New chapter to come tomorrow, hopefully!
