What has Happened to Us? Chapter 19, a hollywood heights fanfic

What has happened to us?

Chapter 19:

Why did I let him in my house? I should have just slammed the door in his face but me being the nice person I am I let him in. I guess part of me wanted to know what he had to say and then the other part knew that he wasn't going to give up until I let him in. So I did, but once this was all over with I knew that I made the right decision.

"So you wanted to talk?"

"Yeah I did." Sitting down on the couch.

"So talk." I sat across from him.

"I wanted to say I was sorry-"

I scoffed at him. "Great then if that is all you had to say there's the door."

"You didn't let me finish. I am sorry for everything that I put you through. I should have never kissed you at the photo-shoot or punched Cameron had the bungalow."

"Then why did you, he has done nothing to you."

He took a brief pause and then said. "Because I am an idiot and he didn't deserve any of it and neither did you."

"So did you come here to apologize or did you want something else."

"I came here because I did want to apologize but I also want to start over."

"What, what makes you think that after the last 6 to 7 months you can just come in here and just want to start over."

"I know I hurt you-" Loren cut me off.

"Your damn right you hurt me."

"Like I said before I am so sorry for that, I just want to forget the past and focus on the future. I know you might have some questions and I am willing to answer them right here and right now."

I took a second to let this sink all in before I spoke up. I knew I did have so many questions but the one most important question I had was. Why? Why did he have to hurt me? Why did he let me walk out that door? Why didn't he love me enough to not to cheat on me? Why did he give up just like that, like he didn't care?

All of these questions where in my head but I didn't want to say them. Here was my chance to ask him and I didn't want to say any of them. My head is telling me to go for it and ask him but my mouth just won't open. I think the only reason I don't want to say anything is because when he answers I won't like the response. But I can't have this wall up anymore, I have to suck it up and just go for it.

"Loren, Loren, Loorreeennn." Loren had finally broke out of her trance when I came up to her and shook her gently of course.

"Yeah, sorry." Blinking my eyes.

"You okay you kind of went out of it."

"Yeah I am fine I just have to get some water." Standing up to go the refrigerator. "Do you want anything Eddie?"

"No, I am okay thanks."

I came back sat in my previous position and asked him what was going on in my head. "You said that I could ask you anything. Right?"

"Correct but I did want to do this over lunch or dinner or something but I thought this time would be better because I didn't want to go to the concert and this tension between us, this is supposed to be an enjoyable night."

"Okay, so here is my question." I took a deep breath and exhaled it out, here goes nothing. "Why?"

Loren didn't have to explain the why part. When she asked me that question she down cast her eyes and started doing that little cute thing with her hands when she was nervous or just anxious. The question that I already knew was…Why did I hurt her? Why did I go back to Chloe? Why didn't I run after her when she left that door?

"Why did you hurt me Eddie? Why did you think cheating on me with Chloe was the best idea? Was I not good enough? Was I to immature? What was it because every single day I think about how you didn't love me enough to see that I was always right there, that I was going to be by your side every step of the way?"

"Because I was stupid, I wasn't thinking that I had the best thing in my life and that was you. Of course you were good enough for me but like I said I was stupid. You were more mature then me, you didn't cry once when you left out my door. I am so sorry that I let you leave that door without a fight."

I was a little shock that he would confess everything that was of his chest. "I, I don't know what to say."

"Just say that you forgive me and that I love you."

"I don't know about the love you part, but you will have to prove to me that you do love me. But I do forgive you."

"Yes." Putting his hands in the air.

I just laughed at him. "You have to go know."

"Wait, why?"

"We have a concert to get ready for, did you forget."

"No of course not." Getting up from the seat.

I walked him to the door. Opening up the door and I was about to close when he said. "I'm glad we buried the hatchet and we can be friends again."

"Yeah me to. Bye Eddie."

"Bye Loren."

"Wait."

"Yes?"

"Can you do one more thing for me?"

"It depends on what it is." I said in a jokey manner.

"Save me a picture."

"I will do that."

"Okay now I'm leaving."

"Okay." I closed door and smiled.

By the time I had gotten out of the shower the doorbell ranged. I went to the door with my robe on and found Mel with her dress in hand and shoes in the other. I helped her with the dress and putted the dress on the couch and closed the door. Right when I closed the door, the door ranged again. This time it was Aid. I helped her with the same thing I helped Mel with.

"Hey Aid and Mel."

"Hi Loren." Adriana said.

"Hey Lo." Melissa said. "Where is the stylist I thought they would have been here by now?"

"They should be on their way. Where is Ian?"

"Home he is going to meet us there."

"Oh ok, I haven't seen you in forever Aid how have you been."

"I exactly have been well, Phil broke up with me but I found someone new and I think you know him already but I hope it is okay."

"Yeah it is okay, invite however you want."

"Wait a second my brother broke up with you."

"Yeah but I am okay."

Before Mel could say anything the door ranged. On the other side of the door there were three make-up artist and three hair stylist plus Kelly with my dress in hand and shoes in the other. When I looked at Kelly she had a high rise ponytail with studded earrings. A black strapless dress on and some red pumps to have color to it. Her eyes where very light with a hint of blush and some lip gloss.

"Hi come on in."

"Okay so we have about an hour and half to get all of you ready so let's move."

Once Kelly said that everyone got to work. They all did our make-up first and then our hair. My make-up was a nice light dark brown kind of shade with black eyeliner and mascara, with light rosy cheeks, and clear lip gloss. Melissa's make-up was light pink eye shadow, mascara, and sparkly pink lip gloss. Adriana had sparkly purple eye shadow with mascara and clear with a hint of pink lip gloss on.

Now it was time for our hair. Melissa had her curled with a bump on the top. Adriana had a short plait with a ponytail to the side. I had my hair in wavy curls. It was now time to get into our outfits. Adriana wore a sequence pinkish purplish dress that had her back out with some tan pumps that had ridges underneath. Melissa wore a white dress with cut-outs on the side with a two-tone hot and pale pink, tapered t-strap and a gold buckle shoes.

Last but not least me. I wore a sparkly corset wavy dress and I paired it off with Jimmy Choo siskin shoe. The color was nude on top and underneath the nude was black with a strap.

"Are you guys ready to go?"

"Yup let me just get my purse." Melissa said.

"Where is Cameron?" Adriana said.

"He texted me saying that he was down at the limo waiting for us."

"Oh okay."

We were all in the limo talking and having a good time. Kelly stayed on her ipad the entire time and answered some phone calls. When we turned the corner I heard lots of screaming fans. That's when I knew it was about to begin. Kelly got out of the car first. Followed by Mel and Aid and then Cameron got out and waited for me with his hand out. I grabbed and he putted my hand in his arm.

Screaming was coming from every direction. I saw Mel posing for every picture with Ian by her side and I saw Chloe and Eddie. I saw that Eddie smiled at me and I returned the favor by smiling back at him. I saw fans everywhere. I signed more than a couple of autographs. Kelly directed me to Lily Park.

"Hi Loren."

"Hi Kelly."

"You look absolutely stunning tonight."

"Thank you."

"So can you tell us what this event is about?"

"I can, this event has a lot of new music and a new person singing for the first time. I hope that my fans enjoy the show and dance to most of the music."

"Ok great, so can you tell us what you and Eddie are doing?"

"I'm sorry I don't know what you mean."

"Are you two friends?"

"We are friends."

"Great do you mind if we get a picture then."

"Uh, sure." I ran over to Eddie and waited until he had finished writing an autograph to a fan. Once he was done I went up to him and whispered in his ear. He smiled and then rolled his eyes about the Lily thing. We walked over to her.

"Great both of you are here. Can I get picture?"

"Sure." Eddie said. He put his hand around my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder and the other hand on my waist and smiled into the camera. After I was done with Eddie I went over to Tyler and took a picture with him. The last picture was all of us. Me in the middle and Eddie and Tyler on the sides.

Concert Time:

"Hey guys I'm Loren Tate has you already know and I am going to be your hostess for this evening. I am going to tell you a little bit about this event. I will be singing a couple of my new songs that is going on the album which is coming out this fall. There is a new face who is going to be singing tonight and who is also going to be on my album and an old face who you guys already know Eddie Duran. So I know you guys don't want to hear me talk so who is ready for some new songs." The crowd yelled. "I said who wants to hear some new songs." They yelled even louder. "That is what I am talking about. So the first person who is coming out is Tyler Rorke." He came out hugged me and I left off the stage to go and get changed.

"Hey guys I'm Tyler Rorke and I will be singing two new songs for you. So I hope you like it."

I come over, quarter past two

Love in my eyes blinded by you

Just to get a taste of heaven

I'm on my knees

I can't help it, I'm addicted

But I can't stand the pain inflicted

In the morning

You're not holding on to me

Tell me what's the point of doing this every night

What you're giving me is nothing but a heart

It's a lullaby, gonna kill my dreams, oh

This is the last time, baby, make up your mind

'Cause I can't keep sleeping in your bed

If you keep messing with my head

Before I slip under your sheets

Can you give me something, please?

I can't keeping touching you like this

If it's just temporary bliss, just temporary bliss

Mirror on fire, mirror frozen

There's no desire, nothing spoken

You're just playing, I keep waiting for your heart

(I keep waiting for you)

I am fiending for the sunshine

To show our love in a good light

Give me reason, I am pleading to the stars

Tell me what's the point of doing this every night

What you're giving me is nothing but a heart

It's a lullaby, gonna kill my dreams, oh

This is the last time, baby, make up your mind

'Cause I can't keep sleeping in your bed

If you keep messing with my head

Before I slip under your sheets

Can you give me something, please?

I can't keeping touching you like this

If it's just temporary bliss, just temporary bliss

I'm your one and only, only when you're lonely

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

I'm your one and only, only when you're lonely

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

I'm your one and only, only when you're lonely

Baby why you callin' me?

(Na, na, na, na)

Not another one, not try'na be your whole life

I don't wanna fall asleep

I'm your one and only, only when you're lonely

Baby, why you callin' me?

(Na, na, na, na)

Not another one, not try'na be your whole life, oh

I can't keep sleeping in your bed

If you keep messing with my head

Before I slip under your sheets

Can you give me something, please?

I can't keeping touching you like this

If it's just temporary bliss

Just temporary bliss, temporary bliss

I can't keep sleeping in your bed

If you keep messing with my head

I can't keep feeling love like this

It's not worth temporary bliss

"So that song was called Temporary Bliss. Here is the next one which is called Radioactive."

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa

I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust

I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes

It's a revolution, I suppose

We're painted red to fit right in

Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died

Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

"The next person that is coming out is… Eddie Duran."

The crowd cheered and cheered, while Tyler left off stage to get into another outfit for Loren and his duet.

"Wasn't Tyler awesome, let's give up for him okay so I will be singing four songs for you but one of the songs is a surprise for the end of tonight."

The songs that Eddie singed were Fireflies, Bulletproof Weeks, and Toy soldiers.

"Those were all my songs so let's give it up for Loren and Tyler."

"Hey guys so me and Tyler will be singing a duet for you guys so I hope you like it." (Note: Tyler and Loren italics, backup singers bold)

Slow down and wait for something else

Stand up, remember where you fell

You're like a kid on the front lines

You're shaking through the worst hard times

But there's a way out

So let go, don't let it get you down

Whoa, whoa, I got a feeling we can battle the war within

Whoa, whoa, give up the ghost, don't keep it, keep it, keep it in

Downtown the lights are dimming out

Lay down, your head is spinning round

You can't keep up with the long nights

And the weight of all the reckless fights

But there's a way out

So let go, don't let it get you down

Whoa, whoa, hold out your heart, we can build and restart again

Whoa, whoa, give up the ghost, don't keep it, keep it, keep it in

Whoa, whoa, I got a feeling we can battle the war within

You're like a kid on the front lines

You're shaking through the worst hard times

But there's a way out

You can't keep up with the long nights

And the weight of all the reckless fights

But there's a way out

Whoa, whoa, I got a feeling we can battle the war within

Whoa, whoa, give up the ghost, don't keep it, keep it, keep it in

Whoa, whoa, hold out your heart, we can build and restart again

Whoa, whoa, I got a feeling we can battle the war within

"So that is our duet which will be on the album and it is called The War Within." I went to the little stage and grabbed my bottle of water and gulped some down and then talked again. "Guys Tyler is leaving us say goodbye." They all said goodbye and I laughed at them. "So I am going to sing one of my songs and then me and Eddie have a duet for you and I am going to sing the rest of my songs and Eddie is going to sing his surprise song for you guys. Does that sound like a plan?" They cheered, I went to go and get the little wooden stool and sat down. "This song is called Hero."

One, two, three.

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

[Chorus:]

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

(dada dada dada dada da)

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasies

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?

[Chorus:]

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the raging flood

Oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero

And then we'll dance 'til the morning light

Dreaming, he'll lead me

Held tight,

Tonight's the night

[Chorus:]

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

(dada dada dada dada da)

Larger than life

(dada dada dada dada da)

Larger than life

(dada dada dada dada da)

Oh maybe, maybe, maybe tonight

(dada dada dada dada da)

Oh, oh

"Here is my song and here comes Eddie." The crowd cheered Eddie.

"Hey guys."

"This song will also be on the album which is called Just Give Me a Reason." (Note: Eddie Bold and Loren italics and both normal)

Right from the start

You were a thief

You stole my heart

And I your willing victim

I let you see the parts of me

That weren't all that pretty

And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh

Things you never say to me, oh, oh

Tell me that you've had enough

Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason

Just a little bit's enough

Just a second we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

It's in the stars

It's been written in the scars on our hearts

We're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand

Where all of this is coming from

I thought that we were fine

(Oh, we had everything)

Your head is running wild again

My dear we still have everythin'

And it's all in your mind

(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh

Used to lie so close to me, oh, oh

There's nothing more than empty sheets

Between our love, our love

Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason

Just a little bit's enough

Just a second we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

I never stopped

You're still written in the scars on my heart

You're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

Our tear ducts can rust

I'll fix it for us

We're collecting dust

But our love's enough

You're holding it in

You're pouring a drink

No nothing is as bad as it seems

We'll come clean

Just give me a reason

Just a little bit's enough

Just a second we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

It's in the stars

It's been written in the scars on our hearts

That we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason

Just a little bit's enough

Just a second we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

It's in the stars

It's been written in the scars on our hearts

That we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again

Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

"So that is our song I hoped you enjoyed the song. So Eddie is going to go and get changed again for his last song and I am going to sing some more songs for you. Whoever has gotten their heart broken this is for you. "

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part

You roll outta bed and down on your knees

And for a moment you can hardly breathe

Wondering, "Was she really here?

Is she standing in my room?"

No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes

Then all at once you have to say goodbye

Wondering, "Could you stay my love?

Will you wake up by my side?"

No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...

Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hand?

Would you get them if I did?

No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part

"Dreaming With a Broken Heart everyone My last song is called Warrior. Everyone that has gone through something or you helped someone this is also for you.

This is a story that I have never told

I gotta get this off my chest to let it go

I need to take back the light inside you stole

You're a criminal

And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth

I wear like a battle wound

So ashamed, so confused

I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire

You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar

I've got shame, I've got scars

That I will never show

I'm a survivor

In more ways than you know

Cause all the pain and the truth

I wear like a battle wound

So ashamed, so confused

I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me

There's a part of me I can't get back

A little girl grew up too fast

All it took was once, I'll never be the same

Now I'm taking back my life today

Nothing left that you can say

Cause you were never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior

I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me again

No oh, yeah, yeah

You can never hurt me again

"I love you guys so much and I hoped you enjoyed this night has much has I did. Here is Eddie Duran."

"Give it up for Loren Tate everyone wasn't she amazing. So this is the surprise song that I wrote." He sat down at the piano and looked up at the ceiling. "This is for you mom."

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away

I want you back

My neighbors think I'm crazy

But they don't understand

You're all I had

[Chorus:]

At night when the stars light up my room

I sit by myself talking to the moon.

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too.

Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

Ohoooo...

I'm feeling like I'm famous

The talk of the town

They say I've gone mad

Yeah, I've gone mad

But they don't know what I know

Cause when the sun goes down

Someone's talking back

Yeah, they're talking back

Ohhh

[Chorus:]

At night when the stars light up my room

I sit by myself talking to the moon.

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too.

Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...

Do you ever hear me calling?

(Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...)

Oh ohh oh oh ohhh

'Cause every night I'm talking to the moon

Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too

Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

Ohoooo...

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away

"This song is called Talking to the Moon. I hope you have an amazing night love you all and goodnight."

The concert was now over and everyone went their separate ways. Loren made an arrangement to have dinner at Rumor tomorrow night to celebrate. When Loren got home she fell right on the couch and went to sleep. Before she fell asleep she was thinking of were her mom was tonight. The phone woke her up from her dream. Still in a sleepy voice she answered.

"Hello." In a grumpy voice.

"Loren." He said in a worried voice.

"Max what's wrong?" Now up from her sleep.

"Me a-and your mom, we got into an accident." That was when it all went south for Loren.

I am done with this chapter finally. I literally deleted this chapter two times because I did not like how it came out but I hoped you like it and you will soon find out what happens to Nora. Tell me what you think might happen. Also thank you for being so patient.

Until next time,
