What happened to us?

Chapter 13:

Loren's POV:

Wednesday

A week has passed on and I haven't heard from Eddie. Why do I care if I have heard from him, uh why is it so hard for a girl to get over him? I remember the first time Eddie and Chloe broke up I know this is probably rude to say but I was so happy because I got to spend time with him without Chloe hovering over his back every time we worked on music but I also remember him asking me "if I have ever been in love" and I said "no" then he asked me "are you hoping to be" and of course I said "someday". The words that I would never forget were "well Loren do whatever you can to not fall in love because it hurts". I would never forget it because he is right falling love with a person that you thought loved you does hurt. But this situation is for another day I have a wedding to prepare for. *I got up from my bed and had put my diary on top of my desk jumped into the shower. Once she was finished she put on a white polka dot shirt with a white blazer and some white shorts with a black bow belt and white and black platform booties also with a Michael Kors watch and some diamond stud earrings. She was going to Max's beach bungalow since the wedding was going to be held there. So she also packed a bag since she was staying there until the wedding was down. Once she left her apartment without looking she bumped into Cam on her way out*

Loren: Sorry Cam I didn't see you.

Cameron: That's ok. *looking down*

Loren: So…how's life.

*Cameron just laughed*

Loren: What? *smiling even though she knew the answer she was going to be herself up for that one later*

Cameron: You're asking me 'how's life'.

Loren: Yeah I am.

Cameron: To answer your question my life is good how is yours.

Loren: My life is ok but I will work through it. *looking down at her shoes*

Cameron: *Looking at the bag* you going somewhere?

Loren: Yeah exactly I am, you know my mom right?

Cameron: Yeah Mrs. - sorry Nora.

Loren: Well yeah she is getting married on Saturday and I'm planning her wedding.

Cameron: That seems cool.

Loren: Yeah I just hope that I don't mess up my idea of the perfect wedding.

Cameron: You will do fine your mom knows how to pick a beautiful wedding planner might I add. *smiling*

Loren: Are you hitting on me? *smiling*

Cameron: Maybe *smiling flirtatiously* is it working.

Loren: *Laughing* no it is not but thinks for trying.

*Loren looked at her watch*

Loren: As much as I love talking to you, I have to get going.

Cameron: Uh, ok I will see you later. *sounding a little disappointed*

Loren: Well yeah I have to go so bye. *hearing the sadness in his voice*

*Loren was walking when she suddenly stopped*

Loren: Hey Cam.

Cameron: *turning around* Yeah.

Loren: Would you like to come to the wedding.

Cameron: You're inviting me to the wedding?

Loren: Yeah. *sounding a little nervous*

Cameron: I would love to come.

Loren: Great *smiling* ok you need to pack swim shorts, and other stuff that you would need to wear and do you own a tux buy a chance.

Cameron: Yeah I do own a tux.

Loren: Great I will text you the address and I will see you there.

Cameron: Ok I will see you there.

Loren: Bye. *smiling*

Cameron: Bye. *smiling*

*Once Loren went in her car she called Mel to see if she was there yet*

*Ranging*

Melissa: Hello.

Loren: Hey Mel.

Melissa: Hey Lo what's up?

Loren: Just calling to see if you and Ian are there yet.

Melissa: Yeah we're on the highway right now, where are you?

Loren: I'm just getting on the highway right now so I will see you there.

Melissa: Ok bye.

Loren: Bye.

*Time has passed Loren sent Cameron the address while at a stop sign. After that stop sign she turned a right at the corner and she is there. When she gets there she sees Ian's car and the wedding planner's car too. When she got out the car she put her bags down at the door then knocked on the door and Chloe answered the door*

Chloe: Uh.

Loren: Don't start Chloe.

Chloe: What am I doing?

Loren: Acting like you aren't the bigger person but what the hell. Oh how's your acting career going you do really good at pretending? *smirking*

Melissa: *Coming out from the kitchen* Ok enough you to, Chloe let Loren in.

Loren: Wow Mel I didn't think you would be so nice to Chloe.

Melissa: Oh I'm not but this is a wedding we need to keep this settle you guys can go back to hating each other after the wedding but for now we are all going to be nice even me and Adriana. Even though I don't like it I will have to live with it so will you to just shut up and stuck it up.

Loren: Yeah ok.

Chloe: Whatever. *going to the her room*

Loren: *Whispering* I swear if that girl messes up my mom's wedding she is going to be dead.

Melissa: Calm down Lo.

Loren: Yeah your right I will calm down but if she does do anything she out of here.

Melissa: Totally agree.

Loren: Ok. *walking into the kitchen*

Melissa: This is the wedding planner Anna right.

Anna: Yeah that's right.

Loren: Hi, my name is Loren.

Anna: Oh, I know who you are my little cousin is a huge fan.

Loren: Oh, well I'm glad he or she is a huge fan. *smiling*

Anna: So are you ready to plan your mothers wedding.

Loren: Yeah I am.

Anna: Do you mind if I sit.

Loren: No go ahead and sit. *gesturing her hand to the seat*

Anne: Thank you. *sitting down*

Loren: Would you like anything to drink.

Anne: Oh no thank you.

Loren: Ok *sitting down in the chair now*

Anne: So how do you imagine or think your mother's wedding should be.

Loren: I think there should be round tables inside the huge canopy. Then inside the canopy there should be twinkle lights all around or above each table.*while saying this Anne was writing all of this down* There should also be a white table cloth and a purple napkin rolled up with a nice ribbon.

Anne: Ok I got it so how would you like the cake.

Loren: Exactly my mom hasn't told me anything about the cake so I really don't know.

Anne: Ok do you think you could give her call so I can at least order the cake tomorrow that way it can be on time for the wedding and how would your mom like the transportation.

Loren: My ex-boyfriend knows most of the stuff but I have no idea where he is.

Chloe: He went out to buy some food. *coming downstairs to get a bottle of water then went back upstairs*

Loren: Oh ok so I guess we will finish up without him then.

Anne: Ok so where do you want the rehearsal dinner to be at.

Loren: I was thinking that she could have the rehearsal dinner at a low key restaurant where there can be nice food and everything is just perfect.

Anne: Ok I will find the best five star restaurant that there is and it will be held on Friday night right.

Loren: Yes.

Anne: Ok so I think I have everything that I will need if I have any questions I will give you a call.

Loren: Ok that's fine my mom will be here tomorrow so if you need to come by we will be here.

Anne: Ok I will do so. *walking to the door*

Loren: Ok I will see you later and nice meeting you. *opening up the door for her*

Anne: You to have a nice day. *leaving*

*After a few minutes passed Eddie came in the door*

Eddie: Hey babe. *yelling from downstairs*

Chloe: Yeah. *yelling from downstairs*

Eddie: Can you come down here. *yelling*

Chloe: Yes Eddie. *walking over to him*

Eddie: Did the wedding planner come yet.

Chloe: You- *she got cut off by Mel*

Melissa: You just missed her.

Eddie: Damn I really wanted to tell her something about the wedding.

Melissa: Hi Eddie how are you I haven't seen you in so long. *being sarcastic*

Eddie: I'm sorry hi Melissa, can I talk to you in the kitchen please.

Melissa: Sure.

*Inside the kitchen*

Eddie: Why are you being so nice to me I thought you hated me?

Melissa: Exactly I never said I hated you I just like how you hurt my best friend and I'm being nice because this is your father's wedding we don't need the drama between anyone at this wedding I already explained it to Ian, Loren, and Chloe and now I'm explaining it to you.

Eddie: I said this before I didn't mean to hurt Loren it wasn't intentionally it just happened.

Melissa: Like hell it was. *with a smart tone*

Eddie: Look I already got a speech from my dad about all of this I feel terrible already.

Melissa: Well maybe you need another- *she got cut off by the doorbell*

Melissa: We will finish this conversation later.

Eddie: Ok. *walking to the door*

Loren: *Practically racing to the door* I got it Eddie. *but she was to late Eddie already answered the door*

Eddie: Can I help you.

Person: I'm looking for- *the person got cut off by Loren*

Loren: Here I am.

Person: Hey Loren. *smiling*

Loren: Hey Cam. *smiling to*

Cameron: May I come in. *referring to Eddie*

*Eddie didn't say anything he just moved his hand from off the door and went to sit on the couch*

Loren: I'm glad you came.

Cameron: So am I.

Loren: You remember Mel, Ian, Chloe, and Eddie.

Cameron: Yeah I do hey guys.

*Mel and Ian said hi but Chloe just looked him up and down and Eddie remained staring at the blank TV screen*

Loren: *Seeing that he had a lot of stuff Loren thought she could show him to his room* let me show you to your room.

Cameron: Ok that would be great.

Loren: Do you need help caring your bags?

Cameron: No I got it.

Loren: Are you sure?

Cameron: Yes I'm sure. *chuckling*

*Showing him to his room Cam broke the silence*

Cameron: Is it just me or does Chloe and Eddie not like me.

Loren: Well Chloe is Chloe and Eddie is just I guess I can say jealous I don't really know what his problem is but he will get over it just give him time.

Cameron: Ok.

Loren: So here is your room I'm just down the hall if you need anything just ask me or Mel.

Cameron: Ok.

*Loren was about to leave the room when Cam said something*

Cameron: Loren.

Loren: Yeah Cam. *turning around*

Cameron: Thanks.

Loren: Your welcome I will be downstairs if you need me. *smiling*

Cameron: Ok.

*Downstairs*

Loren: Can you guys just try to be nice.

Chloe: What are you talking about?

Loren: Oh cut the crap Chloe I saw you look him up and down.

Chloe: What that's how I show my appreciation to people. *crossing her arms*

Loren: Yeah ok. *rolling her eyes*

Chloe: What you have something to say?

Loren: Exactly I do, *going up to her* if you ruin my hard work on this wedding you will be out in matter of seconds.

Chloe: Is that a threat, woo I'm so scared.

Loren: No it's a promise.

Chloe: So you're not going to help me? *referring to Eddie*

Eddie: It seems like you have things under control.

*Chloe just looked at him in disbelief and stormed upstairs like a little child*

Loren: And you.

Eddie: What? *turning to face Loren*

Loren: Can you please just be nice to him he has no friends.

Eddie: Exactly he has you, Mel, and Ian.

Loren: You're right he does have us but he has no one else so please I'm just asking this one can you be nice.

Eddie: Yeah I will think about it.

Loren: You know what we are all going to do something fun tonight.

Melissa: Like what?

Loren: What about bowling we haven't done that in a while.

Ian: I'm in.

Melissa: So am I.

*Everyone looked at Eddie*

Eddie: What?

Melissa: We want you to come even Chloe.

Loren and Eddie: Really?

Melissa: Yes I can be nice and Adriana is on her way so we minus well do something fun before we have to decorate the wedding.

Eddie: Fine I'm in. I will try to talk to Chloe but I can't make any promises.

Loren: Ok great I will go and tell Cam to get ready.

Melissa: What time are we leaving?

Loren: I guess whenever Aid gets- *there was a knock at the door*

Loren: Don't worry I got it. *getting up from the couch*

Person: Hey am I late.

Loren: No not at all come on in Aid.

Adriana: Thanks, so what were you guys talking about? *putting down her stuff*

Loren: We were thinking about going bowling do you want to come.

Adriana: Sure let me just go and change my clothes.

Loren: We all are going to change so when everyone comes outside of their room we will leave.

Everyone: Ok.

*Everyone went to their room Eddie convinced Chloe into coming. Once everyone came out the shower they got dressed. Eddie was wearing some red shorts with a white t-shirt that should of his biceps and some red and white high tops. Chloe put on some shorts with a one shoulder shirt on and some wedges and carried her socks. Chloe's hair was long and curly. Mel put on a skirt with a bright yellow t-shirt with flip flops. Melissa's hair was in a high bun. Ian wore some pants and just a plain t-shirt and some tennis. Cameron put on some jeans and a plaid shirt. Adriana wore a tight dress with some converses and a jean jacket. Adriana's hair was in a fishtail braid. Loren wore some shorts with a royal blue top and some blue high tops and her hair was in a high ponytail. Cameron was the first one to come out so he started watching the game in the living room. When Loren was putting on her stud earrings she saw Cam so she sat next to him watching the game*

Loren: Who is winning?

Cameron: Miami heat.

Loren: Cool.

Cameron: *Turning to see her face* Why do I get the fact that you don't watch the game much.

Loren: Be- *she got cut off by a male voice and it wasn't Cameron*

Eddie: Because she doesn't. *sitting down on the sofa across from them*

Loren: I can answer for myself thank you Eddie.

Eddie: *Putting up his hands defensively* you're welcome.

Loren: Yeah what he said I don't really watch the game.

Cameron: I kind of figured.

Loren: How by me saying "oh" or me saying "who is winning".

Cameron: Both. *smiling*

*Loren was just smiling*

*Eddie was getting tired of the flirting between the two of them so he interrupted them*

Eddie: Where is everyone?

Loren: *Breaking her gaze from Cam and answering Eddie's question* Uh, I think Mel is waiting for Ian to come out and Aid should be out any minute now.

Adriana: Aid she do what?

Loren: Nothing Eddie just asked where everyone was.

Adriana: Oh ok.

Loren: Where is Chloe Eddie?

Eddie: I think putting on her make-up.

Loren: Why it's not like it is going to be seen in the bowling alley.

Eddie: I don't know, why don't you go ask her.

Loren: Why don't you go tell her to hurry up before we leave her and I will go and get Mel and Ian?

*Eddie just got up and walked to the room. Loren went to Mel and Ian's room to see what was taking so long*

Loren: Mel. *knocking on the door*

Melissa: Yeah Lo. *opening up the door*

Loren: We're ready to go, what are you doing in there.

Melissa: Nothing we will be out in a sec.

Loren: Ok. *going back to the living room*

Eddie: Chloe said she is coming now.

Loren: And Mel said she would be out in a second.

*At the exact same time Mel, Ian, and Chloe came out of there room*

Everyone but Cam: Finally

Melissa: Oh, shut up you guys ready.

Loren: We have been ready for twenty minutes.

Melissa: Ok we are here now so whose car are we taking.

Loren: I guess we can take two cars.

Ian: Ok mines and Loren.

Loren: Ok.

*Everyone chose who's car they were getting into, after an half an hour they were at the bowling alley*

Adriana: Wow that's a long line.

Melissa: I agree so Lo why don't you go and park and me and Aid will go stand in line.

Loren: Are you sure because we can go somewhere else.

Melissa: No, not at all look *pointing to the line* it looks like it is going down already.

Loren: Ok I will be right back Cam do you want to go with them.

Cameron: Yeah sure.

Loren: Ok.

*After about five minutes Ian and Loren had already parked and were in the front of the line with Mel, Aid, Chloe, Eddie, and Cam*

Guy: How many shoes do you need and what are there sizes.

Loren: Seven shoes and I need a size seven.

Melissa: Size seven.

Adriana: Seven.

Chloe: Seven.

Eddie: Eleven.

Ian: Eleven.

Cameron: Eleven to.

Guy: So four sevens for the ladies and three elevens for the guys.

Loren: Yes.

Guys: Here you go.

Loren: Thanks.

Melissa: Thank you. *picking up her shoes*

Adriana: Thanks again.

*After everyone put on their shoes Aid put in the names for the machine and everyone started playing*

Loren: So whose turn is it?

Eddie: Yours.

Loren: Oh ok.

*Loren bowled and got a strike everyone clapped for her*

Loren: Thank you. *curtseying and laughing*

Loren: It's your turn Chloe.

Chloe: I know.

Loren: Just saying.

*Chloe bowled but only got two pins down she stomped her feet like a little girl and Loren was enjoying it. Next it was Eddies turn and he got a spare. Then it was Aids turn and she only got five pins down. Melissa went but got none down this time. Ian went and also got a spare. Last but not least Cameron was up next he got a turkey because he had gotten a strike the last time*

Loren: Wow, you are really good.

Cameron: Thanks.

Melissa: Is anyone hungry because I know I am.

Loren: I am I will go and get the food can someone bowl for me.

Melissa: Sure.

Loren: What do you guys want?

Melissa: I want wings.

Adriana: So do I, with fries and a coke.

Cameron: Uh, just give me some fries.

Loren: Ok.

Eddie: I will come and help.

Loren: No, its ok I got it.

Eddie: That is a lot of food and we still need to talk.

Loren: Talk,*a short pause* here.

Eddie: Yeah what's wrong with here?

Loren: Nothing. *walking away to go and order the food*

Eddie: So are we going to talk?

Loren: Hold that sentence for one minute. *putting up her finger*

Lady: Hi, what can I get you?

Loren: Hi, *smiling* I will like four sets of wings with fries, four cokes, just fries, and what does Chloe want?

Eddie: Uh, just give her a house salad.

Loren: Ok a house salad and what do you want?

Eddie: Wings are good.

Loren: Ok and wings.

Lady: Is that it?

Loren: Yes.

Lady: Ok your total will come to twenty-seven dollars and thirty-five cents.

Loren: Ok. *pulling out her money*

Eddie: No I got it.

Loren: Eddie I can pay for the food.

Eddie: I know and I said I will pay for it.

Loren: Eddie I have the money right here.

Eddie: Too late. *giving the money to the lady*

Lady: Your change sir and the food will be ready in twenty minutes.

Loren: Ok.

Eddie: Can we go outside and talk.

Loren: Sure.

*Outside*

Loren: What did you want to talk about? *sitting down on the bench*

Eddie: You know what I want to talk about and may I. *gesturing to the seat*

Loren: Free country right.

Eddie: So I will take that as a yes.

Loren: You want to talk about the letter or me slapping you.

Eddie: Both I guess but I really want to talk about the letter.

Loren: What about it you wanted to know how I was feeling so now you heard.

Eddie: Will you stop.

Loren: Stop what.

Eddie: Having this wall build up inside you.

Loren: How do you know I have a wall built up inside me I feel perfectly fine?

Eddie: Because I know you Loren.

Loren: You don't know me well enough.

Eddie: I know that I hurt you; I know you are just trying to make me jealous with that Cam guy, I also know that you don't want to be in the same room with me without yelling at me.

Loren: Ok first of all do not bring Cam into this if I was to make you jealous I would have done so already but thank you for telling me you are jealous.

Eddie: See there you go again trying to defend him you don't even know him. *standing up from his seat*

Loren: How would you know you haven't been in my life to know what the hell is going on with me. Name one thing that you know about me.

Eddie: I can name a whole bunch of stuff about you Loren.

Loren: Like what? *raising one eyebrow*

Eddie: I know you have this wall built up inside because I hurt you that much to not bring it down until you find someone new you always be self-guarded and think through stuff.

Loren: I already think stuff through.

Eddie: You did think through stuff but not like this.

Loren: So what is your point Eddie that I have changed.

Eddie: Yes Loren you have.

Loren: Well great I feel stronger *getting out of her seat* from men like you.

Eddie: That is not fair.

Loren: How is it not fair Eddie you broke my heart just like…. *holding back tears*

Eddie: Loren don't you say it.

Loren: My father he left me and you hurt me what else am I supposed to say that you didn't break my heart or you didn't leave me at the time that I wanted you with me.

Eddie: Loren I'm- *he got interrupted by someone*

Melissa: Hey guys the food is here.

Loren: Great I'm starving. *wiping the tear from her eyes*

Melissa: Well get in here before the food gets cold.

Loren: Ok, I will be there in a minute.

Melissa: Ok.

Eddie: Loren. *grabbing her arm (gently)*

Loren: Just please get your hand off of me I don't want to talk about this right now.

Eddie: But we have to talk about this at some point.

Loren: But not right now. *walking away to go and get food*

*Inside the bowling alley*

Melissa: Hey Lo you ready to eat.

Loren: Exactly I'm not really hungry anymore I'm just ready to go.

Melissa: Ok we will carry this to go.

Loren: No, don't do that I will just catch a cab and get some rest I have big day ahead of me tomorrow.

Melissa: Are you sure?

Loren: Yes so go and bowl and eat your food I will see you guys when I get home.

Melissa: Ok.

Loren: Alright bye guys. *waving at them*

Everyone: Bye.

*Once Loren got out of her cab she went straight in and changed out of her outfit and put on some pajamas shorts with a tank top. After she put that on she went down stairs to go and write a song for her album it was called Gravity. She thought it was perfect to express her feelings. After an hour everyone came back and found a sleeping Loren on the sofa with her journal on top of her stomach. So everyone went into their room but Eddie. He knew he shouldn't have moved her from the couch but he did anyway so he took her journal and placed it on the table and moved Loren to her room. He tried to be gently as he could and with success he did. He closed her door and went to bed upstairs with Chloe. When the sun came up Loren was up about to go for a run when she bumped into someone*

Thursday

Loren: Oh, sorry. *looking at his abs*

Cameron: It's ok.

Loren: Are you going somewhere if you don't mind me asking.

Cameron: No not at all I'm going for my morning run.

Loren: That's really crazy because I am too.

Cameron: If you don't mind can I join you.

Loren: Of course.

Cameron: Ok let's go do you know your way around here anyway. *walking to the door*

Loren: I run on the beach so if we get lost we can follow our footsteps. *laughing*

Cameron: Ok. *laughing*

Loren: Can I ask you question.

Cameron: Sure.

Loren: I could have sworn I was on the couch did you move me.

Cameron: No I didn't touch you.

Loren: Ok thanks I will ask Ian then.

Cameron: You ready.

Loren: Yup.

*After about two hours they came back to everyone woke and ready to start planning the wedding*

Loren: Hey, guys.

Melissa: Don't "hey guys" us where were you.

Loren: I went out for my morning run and I bumped into Cam and we started running together and we lost track of time. Is that ok with you mom.

Melissa: Yes honey now go and take a shower you're all sweaty. *laughing*

Loren: Yes mom. *laughing*

*After about fifteen minutes Loren came out with ripped up skinny jeans and a beige lace peplum top and some sequin espadrille sandals*

Adriana: Wow Lo you look cute.

Loren: Thanks are you guys ready to go and meet my mom at the bridal store.

Melissa: Yeah.

Loren: Hey guys don't forget you have to meet Max at the groom store.

Chloe: Oh ok.

Eddie: Yeah so I will see you later. *kissing her on the cheek*

Chloe: Have fun. *having this mischievous grin*

Eddie: Bye. *closing the door behind him*

*When Ian and Eddie left Cameron came out of his room without a short about to go for his afternoon run, but, he bumped into Chloe by a mistake*

Cameron: Sorry.

Chloe: Oh that's ok.

Cameron: Well I will be back in hour. *walking but got stopped*

Chloe: Wait what's your rush.

Cameron: No rush I just want to go for a run.

Chloe: You look pretty hot to me.

Cameron: Ha-ha thanks Chloe but I think I just really be going.

Chloe: Ok fine.

*Cameron was walking away but heard Chloe call him again all he was thinking was "would this woman just let me run"*

Chloe: Wait…

Cameron: Yes. *turning around*

Chloe: Do you mind if I run with you.

Cameron: You look pretty good in shape to me.

Chloe: Aw thanks Cam. *walking up to him*

Cameron: If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to run?

Chloe: I don't mind at all my manager wants me to run for some big photo-shoot.

Cameron: Oh ok well I guess I will wait.

Chloe: Thank you. *hugging him*

Cameron: Uh, you're welcome. *a little surprise by the hug*

Chloe: Just give me twenty minutes.

Cameron: Ok.

*Back at the bridal shop*

Loren: Mom I really like that one.

Nora: That's what you said about the last nineteen dresses that I tried on.

Loren: Well now I'm saying it for the twentieth time.

*Nora just gave her a look*

Melissa: I really like that dress to Nora.

Nora: Really.

Melissa: Yeah.

Loren: So wait Mel gets to say it but I don't.

Melissa: Yes. *laughing*

Nora: Ok I guess this is the dress then.

Adriana: Now all you need is the perfect shoes.

Nora: Oh, I already have the shoes.

Loren: Really you didn't tell me that.

Nora: Well yeah.

Loren: Did you call the wedding planner.

Nora: For what?

Loren: About the wedding cake I told her I would call you and tell you about it but I guess you didn't get around to do it.

Nora: I'm sorry.

Loren: What are you apologizing for?

Nora: That you are doing my wedding and I didn't even get around to ordering the wedding cake.

Loren: Ok stop I don't need you crying on your new dress and you have a lot on your plate I don't expect you to get to all of it.

Nora: I know. *fanning her eyes so her mascara wouldn't smear*

Loren: So I will be right back I'm going to call the wedding planner and tell her about the cake and what you want and while I'm going you guys can find the bridesmaid dresses.

Nora: Ok.

*At the suite and tux store*

Eddie: Hey pop sorry were late.

Max: That's ok I wasn't here that long.

Ian: Hey papa Max.

Max: Hey Ian.

Ian: So are you ready to get married in two days.

Max: Do you even have to ask that.

Ian: No I just wanted to see your reaction.

Max: So, where is Cameron?

Eddie: How did you- *he got cut off by Max*

Max: My daughter called me to tell you to make sure you brought Cameron but I can see that you didn't.

Eddie: I asked him but he didn't want to come. *trying to sound convincing*

Max: Yeah, ok but you better tell Loren because you know what happened last time you lied.

Eddie: Yeah I know but let's not talking about that right now.

Max: Ok let's get ready for this wedding.

Ian: Ok.

*Back at home*

Cameron: Chloe are you ready.

Chloe: Just a minute.

Cameron: I'm about to leave.

Chloe: Ok I'm done.

Cameron: You know you didn't have to get pretty to go running.

Chloe: You think I'm pretty.

Cameron: I thought every guy did.

Chloe: Oh right anyway you ready to go.

Cameron: Yeah.

*At the bridal store*

Loren: Ok *coming inside* the cake is ordered and so is the restaurant for tomorrow night.

Nora: Thank you so much.

Loren: You're welcome so where is Aid and Mel.

Nora: Inside the dressing room trying on the bridesmaid dress.

Melissa: *Yelling from the dressing room* are you ready.

Loren and Nora: Yes. *anxious to see what both of the dresses look like*

Melissa: Ok here we come.

*Loren and Nora were so surprise how they both looked. The dress was a strapless white and short almost like a tutu with a gold brooch on top of the dress*

Loren: You guys look beautiful.

Adriana: Thanks now it is time to put your dress on.

Loren: Wait, what?

Melissa: Did you really think that you weren't going to wear any of these dresses.

Loren: Exactly no.

Adriana: Well you are so come on. *pulling her up and pushing her in the dressing room*

Melissa: Come on Lo.

Loren: Ok I'm coming.

*When Loren came out everyone was speechless*

Loren: What? Do I look that bad?

Nora: No….you look pretty.

Loren: Thank you. *looking in the mirror*

Nora: We should buy all three of them.

Melissa: Ok let me go and change.

Nora: Ok I will be out here purchasing the dresses.

Loren: Ok, we will be out in a minute.

Nora: Ok

*After about ten minutes Nora had all the dresses and was at the counter paying for them*

Clerk: Would you like your receipt in the bag?

Nora: Yes please.

Clerk: Ok *putting the receipt in the bag* have a nice day. *pushing the bag to her*

Nora: You to.

Loren: You ready to go.

Melissa: Yup.

Adriana: Bye Nora. *giving her a hug*

Nora: Bye.

Melissa: Bye.

Nora: Bye Mel.

Loren: Bye mom. *giving her a hug*

Nora: Bye honey. *giving her a hug back*

Loren: So I will see you tomorrow night.

Nora: Yes.

Loren: Ok.

*While in the car Loren called Cameron to see if he wanted anything to eat but he didn't answer. So then she called Eddie but he didn't answer and she told Mel to call Ian but she said he didn't answer either so they just stopped at chick-fil-a and got everyone something*

Loren: *Inside the house* * Hello anyone here?

Melissa: I guess no one is home.

Loren: I guess not let's eat.

Adriana: Ok.

Melissa: So let's see what's in this bag.

Loren: I got you a spicy chicken sandwich, Aid I got you grilled chicken sandwich, and I got myself some chicken nuggets with a milkshake and you guys can have any kind of drinks.

Eddie: *Coming inside* hello.

Loren: Where have you been?

Eddie: With my dad.

Melissa: Hey Ian. *walking up to him and kissing him on the cheek*

Ian: Hey babe.

Loren: Since you guys didn't answer your phone I just got you something from chick-fil-a.

Ian: Ok thanks, where is it?

Loren: Over there *pointing her finger at the bag* on the counter.

Eddie: Yeah so where is Chloe?

Loren: I don't know but how was Cam.

Eddie: What do you mean how was Cam? *curious*

Loren: I mean did you guys have a good time.

Eddie: Yeah we tried on suits and everything. *trying to sound convincing*

Loren: Uh huh *squinting her eyes* you know you're a terrible liar. So I'm going to ask you again.

Eddie: Can we talk in private.

Loren: No, I think they should here this to.

Eddie: Why are you getting so angry?

Loren: Who said anything about me getting angry I'm just asking a question.

Eddie: Ok you want to know the truth.

Loren: Finally, what is it?

Eddie: I don't like Cameron.

Loren: I don't expect you to like him I just expect that you get along with him just until the wedding.

Eddie: I'm not going to do that.

Loren: Why? I have never asked for anything else.

Eddie: Because…. *before Loren answered someone came through the door*

Chloe: Thanks Cam. *laughing but didn't see that everyone was staring and touching his abs but before he could move her arms away some charged at him*

*Eddie was furious for no apparent reason he got the wrong idea when he saw Chloe all sweaty and Cameron without a shirt on. So when Cameron walked in Eddie went up to him and pushed him*

Loren: Eddie what the hell is wrong with you. *running to Cam*

Eddie: What were you doing with my girlfriend?

Cameron: Nothing, *wiping the blood from his nose* just ask Chloe.

*He turned to Chloe*

Chloe: He tried to touch me.

Cameron: What she is lying.

Chloe: No I'm not you tried to touch me and I ran away from you, you caught me and told me to keep to keep it a secret and to act normal.

Cameron: She is lying I would never touch someone else's girlfriend and all we did was go for a run that- *he got cut off by a yell*

Eddie: Enough I want you out of this house right now. *yelling*

Loren: Wait a second this is not the first that Chloe has lied to you and you are not kicking Cam out of this house.

Eddie: Oh yes I am this isn't your house I can do whatever I want.

Loren: You're right this isn't my house but in two days this will be our house Eddie so I own part of it now and I said you are not kicking Cameron out.

Eddie: Whatever. *going to his room*

Loren: And you. *referring to Chloe*

Chloe: What? *looking at her in disgust*

Loren: You might have Eddie fooled but not me I know what you were trying to do and it won't work.

Chloe: You have no idea what I am doing Cameron tried to touch me and Eddie punched him in the face what more do I have to say.

Loren: Not much, but you are changing Eddie ever since he got back together with you he became angrier.

Chloe: Well that's a good thing because he dumped you and came back to me which means that he never loved you he only used you to make me jealous and I will tell you one thing I was jealous but now i have my soon to be fiancé back and you out of the picture.

Loren: Are you so sure about that?

Chloe: Yes I am and now if you don't excuse me I have a boyfriend to get to you better take care of your little friend over there or I will tell Eddie that he did more stuff to me.

Loren: You are sick you know that.

Chloe: Exactly I feel fine are you ok you're looking a little pale you might want to go and get that check. *smirking and then going upstairs but Loren said one more thing*

Loren: Hey Chloe.

Chloe: What?

Loren: You better watch your back.

Chloe: Is that a threat.

Loren: No it's a promise. *squinting her eyes*

Chloe: Oh, I'm so scared.

Loren: You should be.

Melissa: Damn Lo I have never seen you so pissed off.

*Loren ignored her statement and went to Cam*

Loren: Cameron are you ok.

Cameron: Yeah I'm fine. *getting a little snappy*

Loren: I didn't know that he was going to do that to you.

Cameron: You know what I just want to get my stuff and leave. *mad and walking to his room*

Loren: Wait, *grabbing him by his arm at his door* why are you mad at me?

Cameron: I'm not mad I'm pissed off that Eddie pushed me I could have done something more to him but then… *he took a long pause*

Loren: Then what?

Cameron: What kept me under control was…*he paused again*

Loren: Cam just spit it out.

Cameron: You.

Loren: Me?

Cameron: Yes you.

Loren: Cam I can't- *she stopped*

Cameron: I know your still in love with him but I will wait.

Loren: I'm not in love with Eddie, will people stop saying that.

Cameron: Because it's true, you can't look me in the eye and say it's not.

Loren: I don't have to explain myself to anyone.

Cameron: Your right you don't but while you figure out your feelings for him or me I will be gone before you even get the chance. *walking into his room*

Loren: Cameron.

*He didn't say anything he just went back to packing. So Loren just went back to the living room and sat down on the couch with her legs popped up and a pillow on top of her legs. Aid saw her so she went over to her and made sure she was ok*

Adriana: Are you ok? *sitting down on the couch*

Loren: No.

Adriana: Do you want to talk about it.

Loren: No. *on the verge of tears*

Adriana: Do you want to be alone.

Loren: *Now crying* No.

Friday

*Adriana didn't say anything else but let Loren cry in her arms. After a few hours have gone Loren had fell asleep and Cam had already left. Aid didn't want to fall asleep but her eyes were getting weak so she just closed them and waited until it was morning. Once the sun came up Loren had gotten up like she usually did and went for a long run by the time she came back it was already nine o'clock. Once she went inside she saw everyone in the kitchen eating something. She went in the kitchen to get a bottle of water and then went upstairs. Once she came out the shower she saw Mel had the side of her bed*

Loren: Don't you knock.

Melissa: No.

Loren: Well can you next time.

Melissa: No.

Loren: What do you want Mel I have to get dress?

Melissa: I want to know why you haven't been talking.

Loren: I'm talking right now. *being a smartass*

Melissa: Ok smartass but really why haven't you talked to me since Cameron left.

Loren: Doesn't everyone get it I don't want to talk.

Melissa: Why not it is the best way to let out your feelings.

Loren: Why should I even bother opening up because every time I open up my heart gets broken again the one guy that I loved broke my heart. Then I meet this really cute guy and about half way I open my heart and I get it smashed right in my face because of something idiotic my ex.

Melissa: Loren it isn't you're fought that you want to open your heart.

Loren: I never said it was my fought.

Melissa: Well it sure seems like it because you are not talking to anyone.

Loren: Talking to no one helps me.

Melissa: No it doesn't. *getting up from the bed*

Loren: How would you know you have never gone through this before?

Melissa: I haven't.

Loren: No you haven't name me one example of how the pain I am feeling right now.

Melissa: Ok how about finding out that my parents aren't really my parents, or how about my mom being on drugs but didn't want to get off them, or how about me breaking up with Adam because we couldn't work out our relationship because he was going to NYU. *while going on and on Loren kept shaking her head and after a few minutes Loren finally said something*

Loren: Stop, *but Mel didn't listen* stop. *yelling at this point*

Melissa: You think you have it hard but look at my life it is way worse than you think it is Loren. *leaving out of her room*

*All Loren did was put her clothes on and got into bed and cried until there wasn't a breath in the world. After she finished crying she took a nap but that nap lasted until eight-thirty. She only had thirty minutes to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. She had time to take a five minute shower. She put on a cream dress and some shoe boots. She curled her hair and put some gold hoop earrings with a ring on. When she went downstairs she saw everyone waiting for her. She saw Mel in a floral dress with some pink court shoes; her hair was straightened with stud earrings. When she looked at Mel she looked the other way. Then she saw Aid she was wearing a high-low dress with platform sandals and her hair was in a waterfall braid. Then she saw the last girl of the house of course she had to the center of attention Chloe was wearing a yellow strapless dress that stopped her thighs with platform shoes and her hair was curled with silver hoops. Ian was wearing a button down shirt and some jeans with some tennis. When she saw Eddie he was wearing a plaid shirt with jeans and high tops. After Loren looked at everyone they just left into separate cars. When they went into the restaurant Nora and Max could tell that there was a lot of tension. So Nora went over to Loren and Max went to Eddie*

Nora: Hey honey. *giving her a hug*

Loren: Hi mom. *giving her a hug back*

Nora: What is wrong?

Loren: Nothing is wrong.

*Nora just gave her look that basically said I know you better than this*

Loren: What?

Nora: You know what.

Loren: Nothing is wrong mom just drop it. *passing her mom to get a drink from the waiter*

*Over to Max and Eddie*

Max: Hey, son.

Eddie: Hey pop.

Max: So what is going on with you guys?

Eddie: What do you mean?

Max: Eddie there is a lot of tension in this room, there is more tension that I have ever seen before.

Eddie: I don't know what you're talking about. *denying the question*

Max: Sure you don't but if this has to deal with Loren and that Cameron guy stay out of it because you hurt her and you will not hurt her again.

Eddie: Thanks dad for the lack of confidence.

Max: I'm serious Eddie whatever you did to Loren she is hurt.

Eddie: Why do you always assume that I did something wrong?

Max: Because that girl over there *pointing to Loren* has never done anything to you she even wrote you a letter saying that she was sorry and you have the nerve to say 'why I always assume you' this is why.

Eddie: Fine I will go and apologize if this will help me from the lectures you are giving me.

*Over to Loren*

Loren: Can I get a shot please.

Waiter: Sure.

Eddie: Loren.

Loren: Whatever you have to say save it I don't want to hear anything from you.

Waiter: Here is your shot.

Loren: Thanks.

Eddie: Loren will you please listen to me.

Loren: Nope. *when she finished her shot she went over to her seat and went into her purse to text Cam but he didn't respond back to her. After a few hours have passed everyone is eating but no one was talking to each other unless it was Nora and Max or just Mel and Ian talking to each other*

Nora: So…*breaking the silence* I want to make a toast. I want to say thank you to my daughter for making all this. I also want to thank my fiancé for seeing me for me and not thinking that I am just someone I'm not. To thank all of you I want to give you a small gift to show my appreciation. *walking around to give everyone there gift*

Max: So I guess it is my turn *standing up and putting an arm around Nora's waist* I want to thank my son and his best friend Ian for everything to staying by me when Katy died or just being there period. I also want to thank Nora for staying by me when things got tough. I love you and I can't wait to spend my life with you. *kissing her cheek* so to a new life. *raising his glass while everyone else repeated*
