Three Surprises

Part: 5

I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter! Please check out my other story as I have written a sequel to what was supposed to be a one shot! Please keep reviewing! And if anyone has any suggestions on things I should add just let me know!

This chapter will not contain Jake, Kelly, Nora, or Max. I wanted to keep this strictly Eddie and Loren related.

Dedication to: The guest that commented about wanting to sing my song- LorenTateHHLOED- SabrinaStarkLUV- I don't have a Twitter or a YouTube account so I cannot contact you. Are you a member on here? Do you have a Facebook? Those are the only ways that I can communicate, so just let me know.

Where we left off…

Loren: Mel and I began walking to the limo and I yelled to Eddie, "Don't forget to think about what Tyler said and text him back!" He laughed and said okay. "Ian make sure he does it!"

Ian: "Okay Valley Girl!" Eddie punched my arm because he hates it when I call her that, but I figure one day if she gets to out of hand it will always remind her of where she came from. And with that the girls left in there limo and ours pulled around the corner. "This night is nowhere near over, Mate."

Eddie: "Yeah, trust me, I can wait for tomorrow to come. I don't want to leave!"

Ian: "I feel you Mate." I said as we got into to the limo.

Ian learns the truth…

Ian: "What did she mean by text Tyler back? Why would she want you to text that bastard back?"

Eddie: "Well, he texted earlier telling me how he was a changed man and that Chloe was going to be calling soon and that…" My phone began to ring before I could finish. "Did Loren forget something," I thought as I reached for my phone. When I finally got my phone out of my pants pocket and looked at the caller I.D., it was the call I've been expecting.

Ian: "Who's that Mate?"

Eddie: I put up a finger to tell Ian to wait a minute as I answered the phone, "Why are you even bothering to call me, Chloe?"

Chloe: "Because I need help."

Eddie: "What makes you think I will help you?"

Chloe: "Because I helped you and…"

Eddie: "No Chloe! You didn't help me, you told the truth. The truth would have come out sooner or later. It's not my fault; you turned yourself in not me!"

Chloe: "B-but Babe, now that you know the truth we-we can fix things."

Eddie: "What in your right mind makes you think I want to be friends with the person who killed my mom!?"

Ian: "Chloe killed Mama Katy?" I had no idea about this! Maybe I should keep updated on the news.

Chloe: "Tell Ian I said hi. And I didn't kill your Mom Eddie! I told you, Tyler did it!"

Eddie: "Ian doesn't want to talk to you! And are you delusional? Tyler may have been in the car, but he didn't kill my mom! You were the one that was driving drunk! I remember that night so clearly. Tyler and I argued and that's when he left with you. We all tried to stop you from driving, but you said you were fine. Chloe, you are the reason my Mom is gone and will never get to see her grandchildren and…"

Chloe: "You got someone pregnant? Don't tell me that it was the Teeny Bobber!"

Eddie: "No! And it's none of your business what Loren and I do! Chloe, you are the reason we didn't work! I told myself I did something wrong to make you wanna cheat, but I know now that it wasn't my fault! I hope you have fun in prison!"

Chloe: "You're really not going to help me?"

Eddie: "No, Now goodbye Chloe!"

Chloe: "Eddie?"

Eddie: "What?"

Chloe: "Don't go! I love you!"

Eddie: "Chloe you don't love anyone but yourself! Oh and Chloe…"

Chloe: "Yes babe?"

Eddie: "Don't ever call me again! I hate you! I never wanna speak to you again!"

Chloe: "But Eddie, you can't hate anyone!"

Eddie: "You are the only exception to that!" I said and hung up the phone.

Ian: "Uhhh, wow Mate. Take a breath and then explain this to me."

Eddie: Taking a breath, "Ian, there is nothing to explain. Chloe was driving the car that killed my Mom. Then I dated her for revenge and next thing I know I'm about to marry the girl. Then find out she is cheated on me with one of my ex- best friends, and now I've learned that she killed Moms."

Ian: "Eddie, Mate, I'm sorry. Just one more question."

Eddie: "What man? I'm done talking about this."

Ian: "Revenge for what or who?"

Eddie: "What are you talking about?" Did I really say that! Now I'm going to have to explain the whole story to him. Damnit!

He did what?!...

Loren: "So are you going to tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?" I said after what seemed like 10 minutes of silence in the limo.

Mel: "Uhhh, y-yeah. Sorry Lo this is-is just hard."

Loren: "I'm your best friend you should be able to tell me anything."

Mel: "I know, but I don't even know where to start. You've missed so much!"

Loren: "I'm sorry Mel. I didn't mean to, it's just everything with Eddie and…"

Mel: "I know Lo, I know." I said as I hugged my best friend for the first time in what felt like forever.

Loren: "Well, how are you and Adam?"

Mel: "Well, I guess I can start there."

Loren: "What happened?"

Mel: "You haven't been on Twitter lately have you?"

Loren: "I've glanced at it a few times. Why? What happened?"

Mel: "There-there's this v-video of-of Adam and-and one of Aid's friends and- and…"

Loren: "Wait a minute; did you just call her Aid?"

Mel: "Y-yeah. Lo, she's changed so much since her-her Dad died. She's actually nice!"

Loren: "Are we talking about the same Adrianna?"

Mel: Laughing, "Yeah Lo. She even said nice stuff about you!"

Loren: "W-what? Adrianna Masters said something nice about me?"

Mel: "Yeah, I talked to her about a lot when you were going through your Eddie stuff. Lo, she went through almost the same thing with Phil. He almost went to jail too."

Loren: "Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you." I cried.

Mel: "Lo, don't cry. It's okay we all have our busy moments."

Loren: "Are you sure?"

Mel: "Yes!"

Loren: "Well, back to Adam and this video."

Mel: "Well, the video is at some party. Adam and I had just fought about going to NY to come see you; he didn't wanna come for some reason. It made me mad!"

Loren: "That explains, somewhat, of why Ian was with you."

Mel: "Yeah, well he's really with me because Adam, he-he cheated on me."

Loren: "He did what?!"

Mel: "He cheated on me with one of Aid's friends!"

Loren: "Oh Mel, I'm so sorry!"

Mel: "Lo, it's okay because I'm glad it's over between us."

Loren: "Okay, now I'm confused."

Mel: "You see, now I can be free. I think I've already moved on."

Loren: What? How could she have moved on? She's been up here the whole time. Huhh! "Ian?"

Mel: I just smiled shyly, I didn't know what she was gonna say.

Loren: "Double date, all day everyday!" I hollered.

Mel: "Really? You're not mad?"

Loren: "Pshh, why would I be? Ian is hot!"

Mel: "Well, I just thought that since he was Eddie's best friend that I might be invading."

Loren: "Hell no! I'm so happy for you! Adam was kind of weird anyways."

Mel: "Lo, you hooked us up!"

Loren: Sarcastically, "Shhh, let's not speak of those evil times. THESE ARE NEW TIMES!"

Mel: Laughing "Sounds good to me Lo!"

Loren: "Now can we meet up with the boys?"

Mel: "Let me text Ian, he wanted to talk with Eddie so I don't know."

Revenge?...

Ian: "You said you dated Chloe for revenge, revenge on whom?"

Eddie: "Uhhh…" Shit I really did say it out loud!

Ian: "Come on Mate, spit it out."

Eddie: "I may sound horrible, but-but I'm not I swear! It was only going to be for a week or so. But then I started falling for her, well the fake her."

Ian: "Still not seeing the revenge part?"

Eddie: "Look Tyler really pissed me off. I had been drinking a lot lately and he told me I was changing. I didn't wanna hear it so we started arguing. We both lost our cool and wound up saying some really stupid shit and swinging like fools. And that's when he left with Chloe." I stated as full memory of what happened flooded into my brain. "That's how my Mom died. I don't think Tyler was in the car with Chloe, but if he was it doesn't matter because he didn't kill her! Man, I really fucked up going after her!"

Ian: "Why did you go after her?"

Eddie: "I was in so much pain, and I wanted to blame it all on someone. Since I didn't know, at the time, who the driver was, I took everything out on Tyler. I went for the closest thing to him, Chloe. Tyler, he tried to apologize, but I just wouldn't listen. And that's when his life changed, and-and it's my entire fault."

Ian: "Dude, Tyler's life is not your fault!"

Eddie: "Man, you do not understand! He lost his best friend and needed to take his anger out. But he didn't know how, so he started drinking more. He was always so mad that he- he became this-this despicable cancer. He ruined everything around him.

Ian: "So basically, you never gave him a second chance?"

Eddie: "Exactly…"

Ian: "You don't give second chances, do you?"

Eddie: "What are you talking about?"

Ian: "With Tyler, with Chloe."

Eddie: "You know, Loren once told me the same thing. I probably should've given Chloe a second chance, or at least a chance to explain. But I found the true love of my life, and Chloe wasn't it."

Ian: "Okay, well that makes since. What about Tyler?"

Eddie: "Honestly, I thought about it, but I never got around to it. Being with Chloe, meant not being around Tyler because I didn't want to hurt him. But then he started showing up, and shit went down. You know that. But now I'm starting to think he deserves a second chance."

Ian: "So then text him back Mate!"

Eddie: "I will," I said pulling up Tyler's text on my phone. I replied, "Hey man, I know shit's been real messed up with us. Chloe called and asked for help, I denied. Man, I'm sorry about everything. I can remember the first night we fought. I went through so much shit that night, I never thought about you. I was so pissed at the world that I didn't care anymore. I was blinded by so much! I wanna make things right between us, I could use another friend. But I just have one question, before I can start fixing things with you; were you in the car when Chloe caused the accident that killed my Mom? Please answer truthfully man! You know how close I was to my Mom. Don't you think I at least deserve the truth from a guy I used to call my best friend?" After I sent the message, Ian told me we were headed to a restaurant to meet the girls. "W-what did you want to talk to me about man? Sorry I sidetracked you with my life."

Ian: "Just wanted to know what all happened when you went missing, but we can talk later." I said as we pulled up to the restaurant.

Eddie: "You sure?"

Ian: "Yeah, I can see our beautiful ladies walking in there now. They should walk in there alone." I said opening the door and flying to catch the girls with Eddie right on my tail.

40 minutes later… Have fun…

Mel: We had all been done eating for a good 15 minutes. Lo and Eddie shared a huge steak meal and Ian and I shared a shrimp and chicken meal. Loren and I excused ourselves as we headed to the bathroom. "Lo, that was our first double date!"

Loren: "Yeah I know and I think it went pretty well!"

Mel: "Yeah, me too. I wonder what the boys talk about when we leave."

Loren: "Hurry up and pee and then we can go spy on them." I laughed.

Mel: "Okay," I said as I hurried to the stall. 2 quick minutes later Loren and I were on the prowl. We stuck out of the bathroom quietly and then over to the far side of the bar where the boys couldn't see. They were the opposite way of the windows so we just needed to get to the windows without them seeing. I pointed to one of the hallway areas in the restaurant and we made our way to it.

Ian: "What is taking them so long?"

Eddie: "They are women, they always take this long. Trust me, you will get used to it."

Ian: "Well they need to hurry up; I want to take Mel a lot of places!"

Eddie: "Just promise me one thing?"

Ian: "Yeah?"

Eddie: "Don't…"

Loren: Mel and I had finally made our way to the windows where we just stood and listened. The boys had no idea we were back, so they just kept talkin, as we heard every word.

Eddie: "…rush her into anything."

Ian: "I wasn't planning on it."

Mel: "Awww, Eddie cares about me," I whispered to Loren.

Loren: "I know he's so sweet!" I said and then we continued to listen.

Eddie: "I'm just saying; I know how you are."

Ian: "Don't you think if you are getting some tonight I should to?"

Eddie: "Hey now, we are not discussing that! First off, I still think you are wrong."

Ian: "And if I'm not?"

Eddie: "We are still not discussing it!"

Loren: "Better not discuss it!" I said, but this time loud enough for them to hear. They both jumped as Mel and I lost it. It was absolutely hilarious!

Eddie: "Uh-uh welcome back ladies. L-Lo are you ready to go?"

Mel: "Awww, is the Rock Star embarrassed?" I said as Eddie's face turned a shade of red and Loren and I sat back down.

Ian: I felt so bad for my Mate, now that Loren had heard she probably wasn't going to give it up.

Eddie: "N-no I'm just ready to go, and I want you two to have time to go sightseeing."

Loren: "Sure…"

Ian: "It's true; you guys probably didn't hear that part of the conversation."

Mel: "Fine. I'm ready to go." I said laughing and making my way to give Lo a hug bye. "I'm so glad to be back with you Lo," I whispered to her.

Loren: "Me too," I whispered back. When we pulled away, "Have fun!" I said as Ian put his arm around Mel's waist and escorted her to the limo. Eddie and I walked out hand and hand. (The boys paid while the girls were in the restroom.)

Where to?...

Driver: "Where to first Miss Sanders and Mr. Ian?"

Mel: "You can call me Mel and…"

Ian: "Central park!"

Mel: "How'd you know I wanted to go there?"

Ian: "Well, this is where I took the first picture that put me on the map, so to speak. I figured you might get inspired to."

Mel: "Oh Ian, but-but I do videos."

Ian: "Oh I know! I've got this all planned out."

Pops spot…

Tony/ Driver: "Where to Mr. – I mean Eddie and Miss Tate?"

Eddie: "Yes where to Miss Tate? Tonight is your night, you choose."

Loren: "I don't know. You are the Rock Star; don't you have a spot here?"

Eddie: "Actually no, not yet, but Pops did tell me about a place."

Loren: "Then let's go there!"

Eddie: "Okay." "Tony, to Pops spot please."

Tony/ Driver: "Yes sir!"

Loren: "What is your fathers spot?"

Eddie: "One, if I'm going to call Nora, Mom; then you are going to call my Dad, Pops okay?" Loren nodded yes and I continued. "Two, I have no idea what it is, but he said to text him if we went so let me text him and we will find out." I said pulling out my phone and texting Pop.

Loren: As Eddie put his phone away, "Speaking of texting, did you text Tyler back?"

Eddie: "Actually yes I did. Ian and I talked and then I realized something."

Loren: "Which was?"

Eddie: "That you were right."

Loren: "What?"

Eddie: "I do need to give a chance. You've been right since the day at the Bungalow; I don't give people a second chance or a chance to explain. And I'm going to try and change that, starting now." She smiled then I smiled and leaded in for a kiss. While I was leaning in my phone went off and then the limo came to a stop, but I didn't care. Loren and I kissed for a minute until Tony interrupted.

Tony/ Driver: "Sorry to interrupt, but we are here."

Eddie: "Thanks Tony, I will text when we are ready to be picked up." I said pulling out my phone to check Pops message.

Loren: "What did he say?"

Eddie: "He said, "Enjoy." I don't know what that means but let's find out." I said as I opened the door and took Loren's hand to help her out.

(I will go back to Mel and Ian in the next chapter, but for now the rest of this chapter will focus of Loren and Eddie.)

Wow…

Loren: "I could never picture your Dad- I mean Pops coming here."

Eddie: "Ummm, I have a feeling my Mom brought him here."

Loren: "Yeah I guess, because this place is just…"

Eddie: "Wow?"

Loren: "Yes, very wow!" The view here was amazing and inspiring, just like Mulholland. I can't believe my eyes as I see what Papa Max has set up for us. There was a blanket and picnic basket set up along with roses and candles. It was so very romantic. "And you didn't help him plan this at all?"

Eddie: "Well I may have asked him to do me a favor, but I didn't think he would come this far through."

Loren: "I'm so glad to be able to say this!"

-Day and night of my life…

Eddie: "Say what?"

Loren: "That this has been the best day and night of my life and it's not even over."

Eddie: Laughing hysterically, "I'm- I'm so glad to hear those words again! I missed hearing that every day."

Loren: "What? I can't help it, it's so true. I've never had so many great nights in my life; they just keep getting better and better!"

Eddie: "You know what the sad part is?"

Loren: "What?"

Eddie: "This has probably been the greatest day and night of my life also."

Loren: "Why is that sad?"

Eddie: "Because, it's also been the girliest night of my life."

Loren: Jokingly, "What's that suppose to mean?"

Eddie: "Nothing really, it's just been controlled by girls. Honestly, I thought the best day of my life was going to be seeing you for the first time, again. But then I got arrested so that was ruined, but here we are. Having an amazing night and it's just going to get better."

Loren: "If you mean what Ian was talking about is going to make this night better, then I'm sorry but it's not happening." I was joking because I really wanted it to happen, but I couldn't let Eddie know that right now.

Eddie: "Oh I'm not."

Loren: "Then what are you talking about?"

Back at cha…

Eddie: I pointed to the skyline so Loren would turn. Yes, we are staring at the Manhattan Skyline! And what a more perfect time to surprise Loren! She turned to look at the skyline and I walked up behind her. I placed one of my arms on her shoulder where it rested in front of her body. And with my other hand reached in my pocket and then placed it on her other shoulder. She was staring at the Skyline, but then I guess she felt my other arm and how heavy it was. She looked down at what was in my hand and then turned to face me. As she did so I removed my arms from around her and opened the box.

Loren: As Eddie began to open to medium sized blue box, I was highly confused. When did he have time to get me anything? And what is this? "Eddie?"

Eddie: "Loren Tate, you have no idea how much I have missed you. I never want to be away from you for that long ever again!"

Loren: "Okay?" Eddie was really confusing me especially now that he walked away again and now is holding a guitar in his hands.

Eddie: "This is to make up for the days we missed of not being together. And to make sure you remember the days we were together." I said sarcastically as I pulled the bracelet out from the box. This right here is for you to remember all these moments. It's a charm bracelet, we can have a charm made for every memory that you want to keep! But not only is it a charm bracelet, it is also a promise bracelet." I said as I flipped the bracelet over to read the inscription on it. "It says, "Always remember me and the way I say, "Back at cha.""

Loren: "Really?" If it really said that I was going to have to accidentally ruin this bracelet.

Eddie: Laughing, "Of course not! Here, you read it!" I said handing her the bracelet.

Loren: As I read the bracelet I was blown away at the small words of love Eddie had come up with. "I love it! Can you help me put it on?"

Eddie: "O f course!" I said as I put the bracelet on Loren's right wrist. "Did you see the charms that are already on it?"

Loren: Instead of answering I just looked at the charms. One was a sheet music charm, another was a sub charm (like a picture of a pastrami sandwich), another had honey on it (from the Bungalow), and the next one had city view picture on it. "W-wow Eddie, this is amazing! But when did you have time to do this?"

Eddie: "Ancient Chinese secret!" I laughed and then leaned in to kiss Loren. It was a short kiss as Loren pulled away quicker than usual.

Three surprises times 2…

Loren: "Eddie you know something."

Eddie: "What?"

Loren: "This is the third surprise I've had all day!" He just looked at me confused. "The first one was you showing up at my-your doorstep, the second was Mel and Ian…"

Eddie: "And the third?"

Loren: "Well the third one is the best: it's this date Papa Max set up for us." I said jokingly.

Eddie: "So you knew about the bracelet," I said sadly.

Loren: "Ahhh, just kidding with you, sweetie. The bracelet was the best surprise of the night!"

Eddie: "Well technically I've been surprised three times tonight too."

Loren: "Oh yeah?"

Eddie: "Yeah, when I found out I didn't have to go to arraignment."

Loren: "What were the second and third ones?"

Eddie: "Well technically I was surprised at the restaurant, but…"

Loren: "That doesn't count! We scared the hell out of you guys!"

Eddie: "Well, fine then I've only been surprised once today."

Loren: Sadly, "Really?"

Eddie: "Oh, yeah, how could I forget? My lovely girlfriends surprised me with this amazing song that made my night!"

Loren: Happy again, "And the third one?"

Eddie: "No offense to your song, but the best surprise had to of been when you walked out in the dressing room." I said with a grin on my face.

Loren: "Oh really?"

Eddie: "Mhm hhmmm." I managed to mumble out as Loren got as close to my body as she could without kissing me.

Wait…

Loren: I began kissing Eddie's next as the city bell rung. This night was over, but I wanted the next day and night to be special too.

Eddie: The city bell rung and I thought Loren might realize what she was doing and stop, but she didn't. She continued to kiss my neck and then moved her hands down to grip the bottom of my shirt. Her lips made it to mine and were locked together until Loren started pulling my shirt up. "I'm so glad this place is private!" I thought as I helped Loren pull my shirt off. Once my shirt was off Loren's hands were the only thing keeping my body warm. Chills were being sent all over my body which was making me cold. Our lips locked together once again as my hands made their way to Loren's dress zipper. But before I could unzip her she was pushing me, slowly, down onto the blanket. I've let MY GIRL complete take over, although it was sexy, I wanted to be in control. I whispered in a sexy voice, "Do I have permission to unzip you know too?"

Loren: In my sexiest voice I whisper back, "Of course you do. Eddie, I am so ready to love you more." Then he began to unzip my dress. I don't know how he did it, but my dress was off in the matter of like 5 seconds. I can't believe I am really doing this! But I love him and that's all that matters. "Wait!"

Eddie: I instantly stopped; maybe Loren was having second thoughts. "Yes my love?"

Loren: "D-d-do you have, ya-ya know?"

That's it for now more will be post soon, I just don't know when. Hopefully, at least one chapter Monday. Please review and let me know what you think. I am not exactly proud of this chapter, sorry guys. Anyone think they know what the charm bracelet really says? Review with what you think!
