AN - I really love all the positive reviews and it gave me the courage to go through with this story. I hope you like this chapter too.


LOREN'S POV
I was so happy Cam was here, maybe he could save me from Tyler. But when I saw Cam's face, I wasn't so happy anymore. He was angry and I didn't even know why. I didn't do anything wrong, Tyler forced himself on me. He must have seen that right? "Cam could you help me please?" I ask impatiently.

He keeps on standing there and gives me a disbelieving glare. "Why should I? Seems to me that you are having a good time. I am gone." He turns around and starts walking away. Tyler is still holding me tight. That's when Mel comes outside and sees what is happening. She punches Tyler on his head, which causes him to let me go. I run after Cam as fast as I can.

"Cam it isn't what you think it is," I say while grabbing his arm to stop him from walking. He stands still and turns around to me. I continue. "Tyler grabbed me and forced himself on me. I tried to resist him, but he was too strong."

He looks at me, I guess to see if I am telling the truth. How can he not believe me? I am his girlfriend and he knows me right? He knows I would never do something like this. I would never cheat on him. But it seems like Cam doesn't believe me at al. He yanks his arm out of my grip and gets in his car. He doesn't even look at me before he speeds away.

That is when I start to cry. Mel comes rushing to me and puts her arm around me to comfort me. "It is going to be okay honey," she says with a comforting tone of voice.

Tyler joins us. I give him an angry glare and storm inside the house. It takes Mel awhile to come after me. I know for sure that she said some angry words to Tyler first. Good for him. I hope he gets the hint now and that he stays away.

It is getting late and we haven't even eaten yet. Luckily for us there are still some ingredients to make spaghetti. I start cooking while Mel sits on the couch with her phone. She is probably texting with Adam. I know that Adam likes her, but I don't know if Mel knows that. They do spend an awful lot of time with each other, but that doesn't mean anything of course. Just look at Eddie and me.


EDDIE'S POV
While playing the piano I hear my phone buzz. It is a text from Mel.

Can you come here quickly? Loren needs some cheering up. Tyler did it again. Xx

There is not a second that I have to think about that. I get up from the piano bench, get my keys and walk downstairs to get my car and drive to Loren's house.


LOREN'S POV
The spaghetti is almost ready when I hear a knock on the door. I expect Mel to open it, but she stays on the couch. Then I will get it. I walk to the door and open it and there is someone I didn't expect to see at all. It is Eddie. What is he doing here? He is standing there with his hands in his pockets and with an innocent smile. He is so good looking sometimes. Okay, I have to stop thinking like that, I have a boyfriend and Eddie is my best friend. We are just friends.

"What are you doing here?" I ask surprised. It is not that I am not happy to see him. But this doesn't occur very often.

He is standing there with a foolish grin on his face and he gives a quick glance to Mel, who is standing behind me all of a sudden. I know what is going on: Mel texted him. She is so sneaky sometimes. "Oh, I get it. You didn't have to come you know. Everything is fine, I am not crying over that son of a bitch Tyler who ruined my relationship. Or maybe ruined my relationship."

He is now looking shocked. Apparently Mel didn't tell him the whole story. "Wow, stop. I do know Tyler did something, but I don't know what. Can I come in?" he asks softly.

Of course he can come in. I take a step backwards to let him know he can come in.

"It smells really nice in here, is it Nora Tate's work again?" He starts looking around the house, but he doesn't see my mom. He looks at me with a questioning look.

"No, my mom is on a weekend trip with Don. What you smell is my cooking," I say shy. Eddie walks a little further inside and sits down at the dining table. Mel sits down across of him and I put the fire out quickly. Dinner is ready, so I can serve it. "You are eating with us, Duran?" I ask Eddie.

He is laughing. "Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world," he says jokingly. I put food on plates for all three of us and I put the plates on the table. I sit myself down at the table and start eating. I don't want to talk about Tyler, but I know I have to.

After a long silence Eddie decides to speak up. "So what is up with Tyler and Cam?"

I am staring at my food for a while and I don't know where to start. I want to say something when Mel speaks up. "When we came home, Tyler was here waiting," Mel starts, but it is my story to tell. So I take it from there.

"He wanted me to forgive him, but I made it very clear to him that that will never happen. I tried to go inside, but he grabbed me and forced himself on me. I tried to push him away, but I couldn't and that is when Cam came. He misinterpreted the whole situation. He got angry and I went after him. I tried to explain it to him, but he wouldn't believe me. So he drove away angry. I tried calling and texting him. But he didn't pick up and he never answered my texts. So I think Tyler just ruined my relationship." I say this with tears in my eyes. I am on the verge of crying, but I don't want to. So I try to stop the tears. Until I can't anymore, I stand up quickly and run to my room.

I throw myself on the bed and start crying uncontrollably. I hear a soft knock on the door, but I can't say anything. All I can do is cry. I hear the door open and I hear the person softly walking towards me. When I feel his soft arm on me, I know it is Eddie. He takes me in his arms and presses my body against his. He keeps soothing me to comfort me. I keep letting sobs out until there are no tears anymore. I pull my head from his chest and I look at him. Grateful, for him always being there for me. "I am sorry," I say with a broken voice. "I promised myself to never cry about Tyler again."

"Hey it is okay. You know I am always here for you right?" he says to reassure me. We keep sitting there in silence for a while. Me in Eddie's arms. He takes my chin with his index finger en puts my chin up so I can't do anything else than looking at him. He wipes away my tears with his thumbs. Just for a second, I think he is going to kiss me. In that moment I really want him to kiss me. "We have to go back to Mel. She is probably wondering where we are." He doesn't kiss me of course and I feel my heart break a little. I quickly release myself from his arms and get up. We both walk to the dining table where Mel is still eating.

Mel, joking as always, needs to make a joke. "If you lovebirds want some privacy, I can go home." This is the kind of joke she always makes. Normally, I find them funny, but now not so much. Just because I wanted to be lovebirds a few minutes ago. But Eddie showed me again that he doesn't see me that way, that he just sees me as his best friend. And you know what, I shouldn't complain because I have a boyfriend. Or at least I had a boyfriend.


EDDIE'S POV
We are on Loren's bed and Loren is in my arms. Her tears have stopped. It hurts me so much to see her cry over a douche bag like Tyler. I take her chin between my fingers and make her look at me. With my thumb I wipe away the remained tears of her face. Our faces are really close. I could easily kiss her and in that moment I didn't want to do anything else. But then I think about Cam and Chloe. And the fact that Loren will never see me as more than her best friend. "We have to go back to Mel. She is probably wondering where we are," I say reluctantly. She gets out of my arms quickly and walks back to the dining table and I follow her.

Mel just needs to make a joke of course. "If you lovebirds want some privacy, I can go home." At that moment I don't really think it is funny. I just wish we where lovebirds. Oh Eddie you have to stop making yourself crazy. You are friends, best friends and you can't and will not ruin that. I look at Loren and give her a smile. She smiles back and in that moment I want to grab her so badly, pull her towards me and let her lips melt together with mine. I'm so glad she can't read my mind.

I have to go, otherwise I will ruin things and I don't want to. "Sorry I have to go, I have to get up early tomorrow." When I say this it almost seems like I see a flash of disappointment in Loren's eyes. I have to stop fooling myself. I give Mel a hug and walk towards Loren. I also give her a hug, I hold her a little bit longer than necessary and give her a kiss on her forehead. The moment my arms touch her, I feel a shock go through my body, a tingling. I try to extend it, but I have to let her go. With one last kiss and a look in her eyes, I let her go and leave.
