What has happened to us?
Chapter 11:
Nora's POV:
Going back to the valley to Max my lovey fiancé, I still can't believe I am getting married to the rock legend his self. I use to dream about this for many years but once I got with Trent my dreams were still there but not as visual. Then when Trent left it seemed like all of my dreams just disappeared into thin air. My only dream was to make sure Loren was ok and to have a decent home where she could play around and have fun. But having the talk with Loren opened my eyes as to why she is like this. She is like this because she thinks that every guy is going to leave her if she opens her heart. But I'm going to make sure no one and I mean no one breaks my little girls heart again and if they do they will see the raff on mama Tate and you don't want to see that. *pulling up in the driveway I see that all the lights are off so I go inside to see Max on the sofa probably waiting up for me but fell asleep, so I put a blanket over top of him and kiss his cheek and went into my room to sleep of this stressful long day. Once the sun came up I thought I could go for a run like I do every other day but I think I needed one today. I left Max a note saying that "I will be back soon and when I get back I will make breakfast", after about an hour of running I came back to see Max awake looking at the daily newspaper.*
Nora: Hey honey. *kissing him on the cheek*
Max: Hey, how was your run?
Nora: Good, I needed to run today to just let off steam. *closing the refrigerator*
Max: So…how is Loren she looked pretty upset.
Nora: You know *sitting down at the table* she opened up to me for the third time since she has gotten older.
Max: Really why is that?
Nora: I don't know. *getting up stirring the eggs*
Max: What did she say?
Nora: She told me about her and Eddies break-up and how she is scared.
Max: I thought they broke up because they wanted different things. Which seemed dumb to me but I just kept my mouth shut.
Nora: I agree it was dumb but they broke up because Eddie cheated on her.
*Max was so shocked because his son was never a cheater he did not think he would do something so terrible like this to his future daughter and to think she was going to be his daughter-in-law to*
Nora: I had the same expression on my face when she told me the exact same thing.
Max: I'm just- wow he really cheated on her? *still shocked*
Nora: Yeah she looked me straight in the eye and told me I was so…. *Max talked for her*
Max: Shocked.
Nora: No I felt like I wasn't the mother that she could talk to.
*Max stood up to where she was and held her hands in his and put his hand underneath her chin so he could see her eyes*
Max: Hey, look at me *she looked at him* you are the best mom that any daughter or son could ever have.
Nora: You have to say that.
Max: No I don't I say it because it is the truth you worked your butt off to keep you and your daughter safe. So I never want you to say that 'you are not the mother she cannot talk to'. Ok.
*Nora just nodded her head and Max kissed the top of it and Nora went back to cooking them to breakfast*
Max: But I do know one thing.
Nora: And what is that?
Max: When you, Loren, Adriana, and Melissa go shopping me and Eddie are going to have a talk at the club and I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
Nora: What are you going to say? *looking at him curiously*
Max: Something that will make him think straight and open his eyes.
Nora: Ok, here is your food Loren will be here at 12 so I have to go and get dress.
Max: Ok and thanks.
Nora: You're very welcome. *kissing him on the cheek again before she jumped in the shower*
*After the shower Nora put on skinny jeans with a tank top and a little sweater with flats knowing that they will be doing a lot of walking. Once she was finished she heard the doorbell rang and asked Max could he get the door. Once he got the door he greeted Loren with a hug and a kiss on the cheek*
Loren: Hey Max. *hugging him back*
Max: Hi Loren. *moving away from the hug*
Loren: Is my mom almost ready.
Max: Yeah she is almost ready she should be out in two minutes. Please sit down.
Loren: Uh, ok. *sitting down on the couch*
Max: So how are you?
Loren: I have been better. *casting down her eyes*
Max: Your mom told me about what Eddie did to you.
Loren: Max its ok you don't have to explain because I already went through it but there is nothing that anyone could or can do so what is the point.
Max: It is not ok Loren he hurt you and I'm going to make sure he apologizes to you.
Loren: No you don't have to do that, but if you do see him can you give this to him. *pulling out a letter from her pocket*
Max: Of course. *before Loren could say anything else her mom came out from the backroom*
Nora: So you ready to go and pick up Mel and Aid.
Loren: Yeah let's go.
Nora: Ok *grabbing her purse* bye honey *kissing him*
Max: Bye sweetheart and bye Loren.
Loren: Bye Max.
Max: Bye.
Loren: *before leaving out the door* Max.
Max: Yeah Loren. *turning around*
Loren: Can you tell Eddie I'm sorry and to read the letter when he leaves you.
Max: I will tell him.
Loren: Thanks. *leaving out the door now*
Max: You're welcome.
*Once they left Max called Eddie*
*Phone Call*
Eddie: Hey pop what's up.
Max: Nothing just checking in.
Eddie: Ok what are you up to.
Max: Nothing I called to see if you wanted to get a bite to eat.
Eddie: Now?
Max: Yeah unless it is a bad time.
Eddie: No not at all sure I can do that.
Max: Ok great we can meet at the club I will order some tacos or something.
Eddie: Ok I will see you in 15 minutes.
Max: Ok I will see you there.
*After they got off the phone Max hopped in the shower and left to go meet Eddie at the club. Once there he saw Eddie talking to Grace and a glass of water in his hands*
Max: Hey Ed. *hugging him*
Eddie: Hey pop. *hugging him back*
Grace: I will give you two sometime alone. *going to the back*
Max: Thanks Grace.
*She just flashed him a smile then went to the back*
Eddie: Do you have the food.
Max: Yup. *lifting up the bag*
*After about 10 to 15 minutes they had finished eating and started talking about the party*
Eddie: So how crazy was the party.
Max: I think she had good attentions.
Eddie: So you're happy that she slapped me?
Max: No but I was saying that she had good attentions to invite you and Chloe.
Eddie: I think it was just to rub it in my face.
Max: Rub what in your face? *showing concern*
Eddie: I think she just wanted to show me and Chloe what she looked like and what she did for the party.
Max: I don't believe that but whatever.
Eddie: What do you mean whatever? *getting a little mad that he was taking Loren's side*
Max: I mean that you broke her heart.
Eddie: No I didn't. *trying to show that he didn't do anything wrong*
Max: Cut the bullshit Nora told me everything about how you hurt her daughter and how you made her feel like she couldn't fall in love again because you did the same thing like her dad did.
Eddie: She said that to you.
Max: No but you can see it in her eyes and Nora just told me that you cheated on her but she didn't tell me with who or why.
*Eddie just stayed silent*
Max: You're not going to answer my question.
Eddie: You didn't ask one. *being a smart ass*
Max: Stop being a smart ass and answer why the hell you broke that Loren's heart. *yelling but not at the verge of Grace hearing them*
Eddie: I don't know pop. *yelling but not that loud* Ok, there is your answer I don't know.
Max: You know exactly why so just answer this when did you do it.
Eddie: It happen a few months ago I cheated on Loren with Chloe- *interrupted by Max*
Max: You cheated on Loren with Chloe why?
Eddie: Yeah I did but I regret it every single day because I hurt her.
Max: You act like you don't give a damn that you hurt her.
Eddie: Well I'm pretty good at hiding my feelings.
Max: You got that right. Now finish your story.
Eddie: I came home late one day of course I was with Chloe and when I came home Loren said that she has been calling me for hours and she was worried about me. After that she told me she loved me and I said you to. I don't really understand why I said that but who knows were my mind was when this all happened. When I was asleep Loren looked through my phone because when I came home that day she said that she had been calling my for hours but I lied and said that it was turned off which it wasn't then I got a text message but I forgot all about it and when to sleep. Once I got up Loren was barely saying one word to me and I asked her what was wrong and she said nothing of course and then I asked her again and she told me that she looked through my phone and saw naked pictures of me and Chloe together. And that's how we broke up.
*Max was just shocked to hear all this now that he still couldn't believe that he cheated on Loren with Chloe of all people why Chloe*
Eddie: Dad I think you should say something.
Max: What am I supposed to say Eddie?
Eddie: I don't know but something. *having regret all over his face*
Max: Ok you want me to say something how about this how stupid and self-hearted can you be. *yelling*
Eddie: I already feel bad as it is ok I don't need your yelling.
Max: I think you do because someone needs to knock some since into you.
*Eddie just stayed silent putting his down on the table*
Max: Me and your mother raised you better than this you are or were never a cheater, so why now?
Eddie: What do you mean? *picking his head up*
Max: Why are you just telling me this now?
Eddie: I don't know.
Max: So you don't know why you are just telling me this.
Eddie: No.
Max: Ok but I have one more question for you and then you can leave.
Eddie: Ok what is it?
Max: Why did you and Ian stop being friends?
Eddie: Over Loren.
Max: Is this another story?
Eddie: Yeah.
Max: Ok let me pour a shot first and then you can tell your story.
*Max gulped down his shot and then nodded his head to his son to tell the story*
Eddie: Ok when Loren left the house I called Ian and asked him if he was in town and he was to my luck. So I told him to come over and I told him what had happened to me and Loren. Then he started yelling and of course I yelled back but he asked me one question that I will never forget which was 'do you love Chloe' and I still can't answer that question for the life of me.
Max: Well I have no words to any of your stories so you can go now.
Eddie: That's it.
Max: Yeah it is *nodding his head* because I can't say anything that will make the time go back to that day when it all started. You messed up all on your own and no one and I mean no one can change how you were so careless.
*Eddie just got up and was about to go out the door but he heard Max call him*
Max: Oh, and Eddie.
*Eddie just turned around not saying anything*
Max: Loren wanted me to give you this *going into his pocket and took out the letter* and she also said sorry.
*Eddie just grabbed the letter and left without saying a single word. Back into the club Grace came out and asked if he was alright and he said yeah and to tell her he wanted her to open up the club today and close it at the same time and she said ok. After that Max left to go home and would take a long nap because this day was not ending fast enough for him*
