What has happened to us?
Chapter 8:
Chloe's POV:
Eddie has been calling me all day but I just ignored his calls. He needs to see that I am mad at him for not admitting the truth to me. But, in the mean time I can have a little fun with Dylan Stone you know the model. He was in town for a few weeks and he was at my doorstep yesterday night and we got drunk a little and the one thing went from another and we had sex. And that was it now he is gone and out of my life for good I hope. So she thinks but that will be later in the chapter. *Chloe was eating some fruit on her couch when the doorbell rang*
Chloe: What are you doing here?
Person: Well I wanted to come and see you but, I can see I'm not wanted so I will go.
Chloe: Wait, I'm sorry Eddie I just didn't realize you would come over.
Eddie: Well, you didn't answer any of my calls so I thought I would just come over and surprise you with your favorite movie and chocolates.
Chloe: Isn't a little early to be having chocolates. *smiling*
Eddie: Well, if you don't want them I will eat them myself. *turning around about to leave knowing Chloe would never past up the offer*
Chloe: Eddie I never said we couldn't eat them I just said isn't it early. *smiling from ear to ear*
Eddie: So are you going to invite me in or are we going to just stay out here and eat the chocolates?
*Chloe didn't say anything just moved away from the door to let Eddie in*
Eddie: So which movie do you want to watch first?
Chloe: Uh, Snow White and the Huntsmen.
Eddie: Ok
*Getting on the couch about to snuggle up to Eddie when Eddie said something*
Eddie: Babe
Chloe: Yeah
Eddie: You know I'm really sorry right.
Chloe: Yeah I do but I just want you to admit that you have feelings for her.
Eddie: Chloe, I don't have feelings for Loren ok I'm happy with just being with you.
Chloe: Ok I believe you.
Eddie: Really? *putting up his eyebrows*
Chloe: Yes, really. *smiling*
Eddie: Ok so let's start the movie.
*But, Chloe did not really believe him she knew he still had feelings for the teenybopper herself but you know what I will always make him say it but for now I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and enjoy the ride because she had a bumpy ride ahead of her*
*Loren in the car*
Loren's POV:
So where should I begin, I haven't talk to mom in like 5 days which is unusually for us because we are so close and then I haven't talk to Mel since dinner so I was thinking I could plan a little dinner for everyone. I could invite Cam and he could bring anyone he wanted but I hope he doesn't because I really do like him and he is a way of getting over Eddie. I am not using Cam for payback I just need a little time to just figure out where I'm going and I hope someone will be there to catch me if I fall or if I make the right decision. *being interrupted by my phone ringing from my Bluetooth in my car*
Loren: Hello
Person: Hi
Loren: Hi,*a little uncertain to hang up or not* who is this?
Person: That's a shame that you don't even know your own mothers voice.
Loren: Oh sorry mom I was in the car and I was driving so the caller ID didn't show up.
Nora: Yeah ok
Loren: What it's the truth, nut anyway I was just about to call you.
Nora: Yeah sure you were I just had to call my own daughter to figure out how she has been.
Loren: I'm doing fine but how are you I haven't seen you or Max in a while.
Nora: He and I are find we just want to see you.
Loren: And I want to see you to but my plate is really crazy lately but, I'm free tonight and I wanted to see if you wanted to come over for dinner and you can invite anyone that you want.
Nora: Ok, we will be there but what time does the little gathering start.
Loren: Around 8:30ish sound good to you.
Nora: Yeah that sounds perfect so who else are you inviting?
Loren: I'm going to invite Mel, Aid, Jake, Kelly, and this new guy right next door to me.
Nora: Who is he and you forgot one person.
Loren: His name is Cameron and I didn't forget anyone.
Nora: Aren't you going to invite Eddie.
Loren: No I wasn't planning on it why?
Nora: Because I thought you guys were friends even though you guys broke up and you never did tell me why you guys broke up anyway.
Loren: Just grew apart and if you want you can invite him I don't care.
Nora: Really grew apart Loren, you guys were close to the hip you could never just break that away.
Loren: Well we did so can we please just drop it. *getting a little annoyed by the conversation*
Nora: Yeah we can drop but, we will talk when I get there.
Loren: Look mom I'm sorry ok but you can invite him I would be total find by it.
Nora: Ok I will tell Max to call him and what should I wear to your little gathering.
Loren: Um, formal attire is find or just something classy.
Nora: Ok I will see you at exactly 8:20.
Loren: Ok mom I have to go bye.
Nora: Ok bye and Loren.
Loren: Yeah mom. *about to put down the phone when she heard her mom call her*
Nora: I love you.
Loren: I love you too mom. *Loren was smiling at the fact that she would never in a million years get tired of her mom saying "I love you"*
*Loren at her penthouse about to knock on Cameron's door*
*Loren knocking on his door*
Loren: Cameron are you there.
Cameron: Oh hi Loren sorry I didn't get the door sooner I was putting up stuff in my room.
Loren: Oh, I understand you can never hear anything when you are in your room and sorry I'm late my meeting went a little longer than I thought.
Cameron: Oh, that's ok so you're an actor.
Loren: No a musician.
Cameron: Oh cool so are you ready to help out.
Loren: I'm ready so what do you want me to do first.
Cameron: Uh you could help by putting the dishes in the cabinet.
Loren: Ok so where are the boxes?
Cameron: The boxes….where are the boxes? *searching around everywhere to find them but just couldn't*
Loren: Do you need any help searching for them? *laughing at how Cam is just trying to find this one box*
Cameron: I can't believe your laughing at me.
Loren: I'm sorry but *still laughing* the box is right in front of you.
*Cameron just turned around and saw the box*
*Loren just stepped in front of him and picked up the box and started to put them in the cabinet*
Cameron: So uh, thank you Loren.
Loren: You're welcome Cameron.
Cameron: Call me Cam I let all of my friends call me that. *smiling*
Loren: So I'm one of your friends now? *teasing him*
Cameron: Well I hope you are but, if you don't want to be I would totally forgive you. *down casting his eyes*
Loren: Hey, I was just playing with you but, I would love to be one of your friends and I also have something to ask you.
Cameron: Really ask me? *smiling trying to figure out what she wanted to ask him*
Loren: I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come over for a little gathering at my place with my friends and family.
Cameron: I would love to but, I also have one question for you.
Loren: Ok, what is it? *a little nervous about what he was going to say*
*Cameron must have understood the look because he said*
Cameron: Oh, it's nothing bad or anything.
Loren: Oh, ok.
Cameron: I just wanted to know why you freaked out so quickly when I said "date".
Loren: Oh, *a little shocked at how he saw that* um I was just surprise that you said date that's all.
Cameron: Are you sure because I didn't mean the girlfriend or boyfriend date I meant the two friends kind of date if you know where I'm getting at, feel free to stop me anytime.
Loren: Ok I get it was to friends trying to get to know each other. *laughing a little*
Cameron: Right. *laughing a little too*
Cameron: So, *watching Loren put away the dishes* what time is the little gathering?
Loren: Oh, it's at 8:3- *Loren got interrupted by her phone ringing*
Loren: Sorry it's my best friend Melissa. Do you mind if I take this.
Cameron: No not at all go ahead I will finish up the dishes.
Loren: Ok thanks.
*Loren and Melissa's conversation*
Loren: Hi Mel.
Melissa: Hey
Loren: How have you been I haven't talked to you in a while?
Melissa: I'm fine but the weird part about this is my own best friend hasn't called me since the dinner and I had to call you. Isn't that weird?
Loren: Yeah weird. *laughing*
Melissa: So what are you up to?
Loren: Oh, nothing just helping out a guy next door unpack his stuff how about you?
Melissa: Wait, a second you are helping out a guy and you are just telling me you should have called me right when it happen. *rambling on and on until Loren interrupted her*
Loren: Ok, two things. One I just met Cameron today-
Melissa: Wait a second you know his name, give me details now Tate.
Loren: And two of course I know his name I'm supposed to if I'm helping him unpack and also I just met him this morning what was I supposed to do call you when I saw him struggling to get his keys.
Melissa: Uh, yes you were. Is he cute?
Loren: Yeah he is but I have something to ask you myself.
Melissa: Ok what is it?
Loren: I want you to come to a dinner party at my house and you can invite anyone you want.
Melissa: Of course I will be there but please tell me you are not going to invite Adriana.
Loren: Why wouldn't I invite her and you guys seemed ok to me when we went to Rumor?
Melissa: Well only because I was doing it for you and didn't feel like causing drama at a really expensive restaurant.
Loren: Typical Mel always trying not to start a scene.
Melissa: You know it Tate and I will see you tonight but what time does it start?
Loren: It starts at 8:30 but you come whenever.
Melissa: Alright I will be there by Tate.
Loren: Can you please stop calling me by my last name.
Melissa: Only because you asked nicely bye Loren, better.
Loren: Much *smiling* bye Mel.
Melissa: *yelling* Oh wait Loren what should I wear.
Loren: Wear something classy or formal.
Melissa: Ok
*End of conversation*
*Loren going back into the living room of Cam's house*
Loren: Sorry that took longer than I thought.
Cameron: Its ok, take your time so you said this Melissa person is your best friend.
Loren: Yeah she is we are like sisters but total different personalities.
Cameron: So what's the different between you to. *sitting on the island chair in the middle of the kitchen*
Loren: Well for starters I'm quieter I don't speak my mind really. When Mel is what I call her is the total opposite. She doesn't hold back she takes risk and once she takes the risk she will think about it at the end. When I think things more clearly I always have a "but or what if" never taking a chance. That's why I wanted to become a lawyer but I guessed something or should say someone told me that I could go bigger and dream big.
Cameron: You wanted to become a lawyer.
Loren: Yup, I thought that was my dream but I guess singing was more of career then being a lawyer. But, enough about me what about you what did you want to be.
Cameron: You mean if I don't become an actor.
*Loren just nodded her head*
Cameron: Well I wanted to be in the military but I was afraid of leaving my family and I was afraid to get hurt and never come back.
Loren: I get where you are coming from but why did you want to become an actor if you don't mind me asking.
Cameron: Of course not I wanted to become an actor because I love being different. I like switching into different characters. I also use to love playing in school plays, *smiling at the memory* so one time I had to play a pirate and I was so pumped to play that role but I couldn't play it because I got sick so my dad and my mom dressed up as pirates and we played all night long until I went to sleep. *but stop smiling when he mention his mom and dad*
Loren: Hey, are you ok?
Cameron: Yeah I'm fine. *trying to sound convincing but Loren saw right through it but put it away for now*
Loren: Ok just making sure, did I ever ask you my second question.
Cameron: I don't believe there was a second question.
Loren: Oh sorry but my second question was about if you wanted to come to a premiere and then to my concert.
Cameron: I would love to Loren when is it.
Loren: In two weeks do you thank you can come.
Cameron: I think I can make it. *teasing her*
Loren: Oh so you think you can make it. *teasing him now*
Cameron: Yeah I'm pretty sure. *smiling*
*Loren looks at the time and says*
Loren: Oh crap I have to get going I have to make dinner for about 8 people. So I will see you tonight right.
Cameron: Yeah.
Loren: Great bye.
Cameron: Bye. *and Loren left*
*Loren's penthouse*
*Calling Jake and Kelly*
Loren: Hello Jake.
Jake: Hey Loren.
Loren: Hi, so I called to see if you wanted to come over and join me and my family and friends for dinner.
Jake: Uh, I will have to see but I'm sure I can make it what time would it be?
Loren: Around 8:30
Jake: Ok should I bring anything with me?
Loren: No not if you don't want to but you can bring a date or anyone you want.
Jake: Ok so I will see you there.
Loren: Alright and Jake.
Jake: Yeah.
Loren: Is Kelly their?
Jake: Uh, yeah do you want to speak with her.
Loren: No, but can you tell her for please and thank you.
Jake: Yup I will tell her.
Loren: Ok thanks and bye.
Jake: Bye Loren.
*Max calling Eddie*
Max: Hey bud.
Eddie: Hey pops how are you?
Max: Good, I was calling to tell you that Loren invited all of us to dinner and she wanted you and Chloe to come.
Eddie: Really?
Max: Yeah Nora said she said exactly that.
Eddie: Hold on pops let me ask Chloe.
Max: Ok
*Mumbling voices*
Eddie: Uh, Chloe said she is fine with it so what time does it start.
Max: 8:30
Eddie: Ok I will see you their bye
Max: Bye
*Skipping into time, it was 7:30 already*
*Loren had just put the roast in the crockpot, mashed the potatoes, and fixed the gravy with string beans. But, Loren was forgetting one thing and that was changing her clothes so she hopped in the shower, flat ironed her hair, and brushed her teeth to have that minty felling. What she had put on was a lace midi dress which should her curves in all the right places and some pair of Christian Louboutin heels. She looked absolutely gorgeous. When Loren was finished she heard the doorbell rang*
Loren: Just a minute. *Loren went to go open the door to see Cam*
Loren: Hi
*Cameron was speechless yet again*
Loren: *blushing and smiling* would you like to come in.
*Cameron just nodded and came in*
Loren: So you can have a seat right there and I will be right back with the drinks. *turning around* I'm sorry do you drink martinis.
*Cameron cleared his throat and said*
Cameron: Yeah I do.
Loren: Ok good. *smiling*
*Loren heard a knocking but she was fixing the drinks so she told Cam could he get the door*
Cameron: Yeah. *Cameron went to go answer and saw a girl that was dressed in bright colors*
Melissa: So you must be Cameron, Loren told me a little bit about you.
Cameron: And you must be Melissa, Loren has told me a lot about you.
Melissa: Indeed I am. *putting out her hand and Cameron shook it*
Melissa: So where is the-
Loren: Mel is that you.
Melissa: Yes, it is where are you?
Loren: In the kitchen. *Melissa was walking that way and was speechless when she saw Loren*
Melissa: You look gorgeous you know what beyond gorgeous you look magnifique. *putting her hands up and kissing her tips*
Loren: You know Mel I don't know French I know Spanish so what does that even mean.
Melissa: It means magnificent.
Loren: Aww thanks Mel.
Melissa: So where are the rest of the people?
Loren: They should be on their way.
Melissa: If you don't mind I brought a date but he won't becoming until later.
Loren: Yeah that's fine so what is his name and how long have you guys been dating.
Melissa: Not that long and you exactly know him but that is all I'm giving you.
*Loren was done with the martinis and went outside to give Cam one and Mel*
Loren: Come on just give me a hint.
Melissa: Nope.
Loren: Pleas- *the doorbell ranged*
Loren: Saved by the bell we will finish this after I get the door. *saying this while walking to door*
Melissa: Yeah ok Tate.
Loren: Hi mom and Max.
Nora: Aw look at my baby girl she is all grown up.
Max: Indeed she is, you look really pretty Loren.
Loren: Aww thank you guys. *giving them both a hug*
Loren: Come in, sit, enjoy while I go get the drinks.
Nora and Max: Ok
Cameron: Stood up so you must be Mrs. Tate. *putting out his hand*
Nora: Yes I am *while shaking his hand* but call me Nora and this is my fiancé Max.
Cameron: Nice to meet you sir *now shaking his hand* my mom was a huge fan of yours back in the day.
Max: Thanks tell her I really appreciated.
Cameron: I would but, she past a long time ago.
Max: Oh I'm so sorry.
Cameron: No it's ok it was a long time ago so…yeah.
Nora: What was a long time ago?
Cameron: Oh, nothing me and Mr. Duran was just talking.
Max: Yeah we were but call me Max.
Cameron: Ok
Loren: So how is everyone?
Nora: We're good but how are you we haven't seen each other in a while.
Loren: I know I'm sorry about that to but I have something to tell all of you once everyone gets here and after I play song.
Nora: You're going to play us a song?
Loren: Yes I am.
*There was a knock on the door*
Loren: I will get it everyone just sit down at the dinner table and we will eat.
Everyone: Ok
*At the door*
Loren: Hi Jake, Kelly, Eddie, and Chloe.
All of them except Chloe: Hey Loren
Loren: So come in you're just in time everyone was just sitting down at the table ready to eat.
Everyone: Ok
*So everyone sat down said their hellos and I came out with the roast and the rest of the food*
Nora: This looks delicious.
Loren: Thank you *she saw Chloe just looking at the food*
Loren: Is there something wrong with the food Chloe?
Chloe: Yeah.
Loren: Ok what is it?
Chloe: I don't eat roast.
Loren: Oh would you like me to chop it up for you and then give it to. *giving a little glare at her*
Chloe: No I would like for you to take it back.
Loren: Oh, right away your majesty. *bowing*
Chloe: Thank you *mumbling brat*
Eddie: Chloe please don't start we just got here and you are already causing a scene.
Chloe: You're right Eddie I'm sorry Loren.
Loren: Yeah it's ok *a little confuse as why the hell she listened to Eddie*
Loren: So what would you like to eat Chloe? Maybe a carrot stick or you know what I have some string beans that probably would help.
Chloe: A carrot stick would do just find. *holding back her tongue*
Loren: Ok *she came out with four carrot sticks* here you go.
*And after that Loren sat down and ate her food and everyone else just started talking*
*Whispering to Mel*
Loren: Where is Aid?
Melissa: Oh she said she couldn't come because she went to go visit my brother or something she said.
Loren: Oh ok.
*After dinner was over*
Loren: So can I have your attention please. *everyone looked at Loren*
Loren: Ok so I wanted to sing you guys a song so if you don't mind coming around the piano.
*Everyone did as she asked*
Loren: Ok so this song is called Never Say Never.
*Loren started singing*
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
*After she was finish everyone clapped as loud as they could because the song was that good but the clapping came to an end when the doorbell ranged*
