What has happened to us?
Chapter 15:
Loren's POV:
It is now Monday morning. Today I thought I could just not go for a run today. It is a new day and my mom and Max are coming back on Saturday which is the day of the concert. I had to get up and go meet Kelly and Jake because they had something to tell me, god I hope it isn't about Eddie. I haven't talked to him since the wedding and Cameron is still avoiding me. Then I have to go to the studio to work on all the songs. Sometimes I wonder what would have happen if I went to law school; I know I wouldn't have met Eddie or becoming the musician that I always wanted to be. I sometimes wish my dad didn't walk out that door, that way I didn't have this wall up I could just be free of life. These are the things I think about when something doesn't go the way that I imagine they should go. Thinking about all this stuff I take my time into the shower, I didn't feel like rushing. After I took my shower I put on a blue, green, and white maxi dress with white Burberry flip flops. She had her hair in a bun with stud earrings and gold bangles; she didn't have any make-up on but lip gloss. After she grabbed her purse she locked her door and was about to get in her car when she saw Cameron about to walk in the door.
Loren: Hi. *walking up to him*
Cameron: Hey. *avoiding her gaze*
Loren: I tried calling you but you didn't pick up.
Cameron: Yeah, I just have been busy.
Loren: With what exactly. *trying to get to the bottom of this*
Cameron: Nothing that needs to worry you. *not trying to be rude*
Loren: Look, I'm just going to get to the bottom of this I don't know what I did to hurt you but I'm sorry for whatever I did.
Cameron: I don't want your apology. *walking away*
Loren: Wait a second, I'm not done. *once she said that he had went inside the door and went up the steps. Thinking to herself "damn it". She got in her car and went to Jake Madsen's office. Once she got inside she saw him and the she devil herself*
Eddie: Hi Loren.
*Loren walked into the elevator and tried to press the button but Eddie had caught it right behind him was Chloe. It seemed like the elevator was taking forever but it wasn't it was just the awkwardness between everyone. All I heard was Chloe trying to get Eddie's attention but Eddie was too busy looking at me. Finally the ding of the elevator door opened and when Eddie opened the door for all three of us you would never want to believe who was standing at the door*
Person: Hey.
Eddie: What the hell are you doing here?
Jake: Eddie just let Tyler explain.
Chloe: Why are you taking up for him Jake?
Loren: And why do you care? *rephrasing the question to Chloe*
*Chloe just glared at her and Loren just looked away*
Tyler: Well anyway I asked Jake to sign me- *he got interrupted by Eddie*
Eddie: Why would you sign him after everything he has down?
Loren: Will you let him talk.
Eddie: When have you been a fan of him Loren? *look at her and giving a look*
Loren: I'm not a fan but I do want to know what he has to say…so will you shut up and let him talk.
Tyler: Thank you. *smiling*
Loren: Whatever. *rolling her eyes*
Tyler: I asked Jake to sign me because I have been doing really great in acting and I want to get into the music industry and he is the best manager.
Chloe: And you exactly signed him Jake.
Jake: I was thinking about it, we have to get him in the recording studio and see what his voice sounds like but yeah. Plus Loren won't work with Eddie so I was thinking about Tyler.
Loren: Why can't I just do it by myself?
Jake: Be- *cut off by Kelly*
Kelly: Because it doesn't work that way and you can't just perform by yourself.
Loren: And I'm going right back to why?
Kelly: Because you are doing your second album and you want it out there right…so you are going to need someone to open for you.
Loren: You are not making any since Kelly but whatever.
Jake: Back to the point Loren you are going to have someone open for you and we are going to go to the studio and let Tyler sang and Loren do you have any new material.
Loren: Yeah, I have a bunch.
Jake: Good because we need to figure out how many songs you want on the album and since the concert is on Saturday we start getting it out there by today so people can get tickets and do a photo shoot with pictures like you did a year ago.
Loren: Ok I get it, so are we all going to the studio or…
*Before Jake could answer Eddie said something*
Eddie: All of us.
Chloe: I don't want to go.
Eddie: Then why did you come?
Loren: Maybe we should leave you guys.
Chloe: Maybe you should mind your own business.
Loren: You know what Chloe I don't have time for this…I'm going to be the bigger person and leave because you are getting on my last nerves and I am just one second from punching you in the face.
Chloe: Oh I'm so scared. *showing a fake scared face*
Loren: I will meet you guys at the studio.
Kelly: Ok we will be right behind you.
Loren: Ok.
*When Loren got in her car she called Mel*
Melissa: Hey Lo what's up.
Loren: Are you doing anything at this second.
Melissa: Yeah I was about to go and get brunch with Ian but what's up.
Loren: Nothing I just wanted you to come and see me sing or do something more to Chloe but its ok I got it.
Melissa: You sure.
Loren: Yeah go and have fun.
Melissa: Ok love ya.
Loren: Love you too.
*Click*
*Loren drove away and was the first one to arrive at the studio so she grabbed her song writing book and sat down on the sofa. Since she was alone she thought she would hum one of her songs, not knowing someone was there at the door*
Person: Nice song.
Loren: Thanks.
Person: So what is that song called?
Loren: Tyler what are you doing?
Tyler: Trying to make conversation.
Loren: No I mean what are you really doing with your life…what acting was to dual and old for you or are you just trying to get Chloe in your pants again.
Tyler: That really hurt Loren *putting his hand over his chest but Loren just looked at him waiting for an answer* but to answer your question no I am not trying to get in Chloe's pants, I'm just trying to create a fresh new start.
Loren: So, why are you doing music if you don't mind me asking?
*Before Tyler could answer Eddie and Chloe came in*
Tyler: *whispering in her ear* I will answer your question after this is over.
*Loren just nodded her head but she swore she saw Eddie shake his head and looked the other way with Chloe just glaring at her really hard*
Eddie: Can I talk to you more a minute Loren.
Loren: Uh, I don't think that is such a good idea Jake should be on his way.
Eddie: Ok then after.
Loren: We will see. *looking away*
Eddie: Ok then.
Jake: Sorry guys are you ready.
Tyler: Yeah.
Kelly: Ok so Tyler I printed out a song or do you have your own.
Tyler: I have my own thinks though.
*Kelly just nodded*
*Tyler went inside the booth and put on the guitar and the headphones and started playing Other Side*
There's another darker side of me
Inside the lies
Desperately trying to be seen
We fight
We try
On and on and on and on
After the lights are gone
Will you still love me
On and on and on and on
After the truth has shown
Will you still want me
Don't look the other way
When you're afraid
When you're afraid
Don't let your heart betray
The love we made
When you still had me
Speaking soft so no one feels attacked
We act relieved
Maybe we could use a little break
We make believe
On and on and on and on
After the lights are gone
Will you still love me
On and on and on and on
After the truth has shown
Will you still want me
Don't look the other way
When you're afraid
When you're afraid
Don't let your heart betray
The love we made
When you still had me
You still loved me
You still wanted me
*After he was finished he took his headphones off and walked out of the booth, Loren was the first one to say something*
Loren: I didn't know you could sing.
Chloe: How would you know if he did sing?
Eddie: Don't start this again.
Loren: No Eddie, let her say what she has to say because every time I say something she has to say something, so go ahead Chloe.
Chloe: Ok I think you are manipulative person you always need to be the center of attention and truly I think you still have feelings for Eddie but you should really get over it because he doesn't want you he still loves me and if he did chose you over me he was still come running back into my bed- *she got stopped by Eddie*
Eddie: Chloe that is enough.
Loren: No let her finish because she already said a mouth full so go ahead Chloe finish.
Chloe: I would love to…where was I oh right. He was running back into my bed like he did a couple of years ago. That's right when he was out late night's guess who he was coming to see, when he supposedly *putting up air quotes* said he was going to meet Ian he didn't it was me.
*Loren just looked at Eddie in disgust and she ran outside*
Eddie: What the hell Chloe? *running after Loren*
Chloe: Finally I thought I had to drag that wanna be out of here.
Tyler: What do you want Chloe?
*She took him by the arm and dragged him out into the hall*
*Outside with Loren and Eddie*
Eddie: Loren wait a second. *catching up to her putting his hand on the bottom of her hand*
*Loren moved her hand from his and said "what"*
Eddie: You know none of that stuff was true.
Loren: She sounded pretty convincing to me.
Eddie: Well it isn't true.
Loren: How can I trust what you say or anyone of your group *putting up air quotes* Eddie.
Eddie: Look into my eyes and see if I'm lying.
*Loren didn't look into his eyes so Eddie lifted up her chin and she stared at them but moved his hand from under her chin*
Loren: What just because I look into your eyes doesn't mean you can fool me Eddie?
Eddie: So why did you move my hand.
Loren: Because…
Eddie: Because of what.
Loren: I don't have to explain myself to you. *walking back to the studio*
Eddie: *running up to her* No we are going to about this.
Loren: What's there to talk about you hurt me and I moved on, point blank.
Eddie: No, not point blank I know what I did was wrong.
Loren: You are damn right it was wrong, did I do something to make you want to cheat on me.
Eddie: No of course not, it was not you at all it was me.
Loren: I hate that excuse it was you not me or I know I did something wrong but can you please forgive me or the person just leaves without saying anything to you but just breaks your heart. I'm sorry that I wasn't that great of a girlfriend but I will make damn sure I don't get hurt like that again. If you will excuse me I have to go and record songs. *brushing past him*
*Eddie was left dumbfounded as of what the hell just happened but he knew one thing he was never going to be like Loren's father Trent. But he thinks Loren already got that impression of how he acted when he cheated*
*Back into the studio*
Kelly: Are you ready?
Loren: Yup, just let me drink some water and I will be all ready.
*Kelly went up to her*
Kelly: Are you sure you're ok.
Loren: Never better, I can't let Chloe or Eddie get to me I need to focus and start working nothing more.
Kelly: Ok so what song are you thinking about putting up on the album and singing at the concert.
*Getting her song writing book from her bag and then she placed her bag on the couch and showed Kelly her songs*
Loren: Ok so I was thinking about this one. *turning the page* and these three and these five. And then I can have like three extra songs for the bonus feature like if you pick it up at this time you will get a special invitation of more songs I guess.
Kelly: Ok we can do that.
Loren: And then the songs I have played I can sing at the concert and the songs that I haven't played can go on the album.
Eddie: Sorry to interrupt but Loren can I talk to you.
Loren: I'm kind of busy. *turning around and facing him and then turned back around to talk to Kelly*
Kelly: So I have one question who are you going to be singing with?
Loren: Uh, I haven't really thought about it.
Kelly: Well you have to because we have the studio every single day until Saturday.
Jake: Except for Friday because you have to do a photo-shoot.
Kelly: Right thanks Jake
Loren: Can I do both of them.
*Kelly looked at Jake and then turned back around to Loren*
Kelly: That has never been done before.
Loren: Well good because I don't feel like the fussing today I already had enough and it will be different I don't want my concert to be same like last year.
Jake: Ok you can use both of them but you have to count in rehearsal time and you guys have to get a long before the concert so the crowd can know that they like each other or at least acquaintances.
Loren: I can do that but I don't know if they can.
Kelly: Well they better.
Loren: So should I start recording or just warm up and then you tell me if I am ok or not.
Kelly: Yeah we can do that.
Loren: Ok so I will do the warm up first.
*She started with Never Say Never then went to Dreaming with a Broken Heart and Holding out for a Hero. Once she was done she came out of the booth and they could go home until tomorrow*
Loren: The last one I just singed is my favorite.
Kelly: Ok so we defiantly know that is going on the album then.
Loren: Yes defiantly.
Kelly: Ok you can leave, the guys can leave to but they are singing first tomorrow so they better have a song.
Eddie: Ok I will. *outside the door*
Tyler: So will I.
Jake: Be here at eight-thirty and you can order lunch in between.
All: Ok.
*Everyone went their separate ways, Chloe and Eddie where fussing in the car*
Eddie: Why did you say that too Loren?
Chloe: Why couldn't I say it?
Eddie: Because it hurt her feelings.
Chloe: Is that all that hurt Eddie.
Eddie: Yeah that is all, I'm sick of fussing with you Chloe.
Chloe: We barely fuss.
Eddie: You're a damn lie we fuss all the time maybe in your head we don't fuss but I see differently.
Chloe: Why do you care if I fuss at Loren anyway?
Eddie: Because I still care about her.
Chloe: Is that all.
Eddie: No I still love her more then I loved you.
Chloe: Oh Eddie that is not nice to say to your pretend girlfriend.
*Eddie just looked at her in disgust*
To be continued
