Chapter Nine

We'll Be As Strong as Ever

Lorens POV

I am going to Leave LA and go to New York. I need to experience what it is like on the east coast. I also need to stay true to my music career. Eddie will understand he always does and I know I will be back before I know it. Once I told Eddie over the phone there was a moment of silence. I knew he didn't hang up because I could hear his breathing but I also knew he was trying to take it all in. After about 2minutes he finally responded.

Eddie: are you sure this is what you want to do?

Loren: I talked to my mom and Mel about it and they both keep telling me to not give up on my career and I thought it over long and hard and this is the right thing to do.

Eddie: if you want this then I'm not going to stop you. I just want you to promise me one thing.

Loren: what?

Eddie: promise me that we will still be together. I don't want to break up. I know we can both keep our relationship strong even across the country.

Loren: I promise.

Eddie: Good. When are you leaving?

Loren: tomorrow morning. And I have to start looking for apartments.

Eddie: wait! Isn't Trent moving to New York? Why don't you ask to live with him? Just for a few weeks so you can properly look for an apartment.

Loren:I don't know if that's such a good idea. I'll call him later and ask him. But I think he doesn't move Until Friday. (which is two days from now. )

Eddie: Okay well think about it. I'll see you later, You need to start packing.

Loren: okay love you.

Eddie: Love you too.

And with that being said he hung up. I couldn't tell if he was upset or accepting of my decision. I know he told me he would be okay with whatever decision I make but I've known Eddie long enough to know that when he says he is okay with something he doesn't always mean it. But for right now I have to start getting packed and looking for a place to stay. As I am online looking for apartments I find one that it's perfect for me. I email it to Kelly so she can approve and I start packing. Once I get most of my stuff in suitcases I hear the doorbell ring. As I open the door I am engulfed in a hug. As I look up to see who it it's I see Eddie. Before I can even speak he kisses me with so much passion it feels like it will be or last. (even though that it's kinda will be ) When he stops kissing me I open my mouth to say something but he just puts hits finger to my lip and starts to talk.

Eddie: Tonight it's going to be family night for you. I've already Called Nora and told her to invite Mel to dinner at this new restaurant down the street from my dads club. You need to go get ready while I call and make reservations. Also you can't say a word till we get to the restaurant ok.

I just nod my head ok and go to my room to change into a new outfit. After what feels to be 30 minutes I find a beautiful red dress that is mid thigh and some beautiful gold heels to wear. Once I finish curling my hair and putting in jewelry and make up I come out of my room to see Eddie on the couch on his phone and it sounds like he it's talking to Jake. My answer is proven correct when Eddie says bye Jake and walks over to me. He wraps my arm around his arm and walk out the front door to his car. The whole car ride there was quiet mostly because Eddie told me not to say anything. But also because I kept thinking how Eddie is feeling about the whole thing. I guess he read my mind because when we pulled into a parking spot he said

Eddie: Loren I am not mad at you leaving. I am happy and excited for you okay so stop worrying about me and have a great time tonight.

Again I nodded my head yes and kissed him on the cheek. He got out of the car. I waited for him to open the door and when he did I grabbed his hand and got out. As we walked into the new restaurant I was shocked to see the place cover in decorations. Once I hugged everyone there we partyed the night away. The next morning I woke up and I started to get dressed. Today was the day I was leaving for New York. I was excited but also sad. On my way to the airport all I could think about was my new life. Once we arrived I didn't see Eddie. I guess by the way that I looked Kelly knew I was wondering where Eddie was. She told me he had a meeting with Jake and it was very important. I just nodded and made my way to my family and friends. I ave them all big hugs and walked up the steps to the plane. As I got inside the plane I stopped dead in my tracks.
