Still at the contest. This chapter will be mostly in Loren's POV, but there will be a little of Eddie's too. Enjoy reading.

EDDIE'S POV

It's time to announce the winner of the contest. I hope that Loren's the winner, I would really love to work with her. I know that the song that she sang is meant for me and she probably wrote it the day we met, but I would do anything, just anything to make her forgive me and to have her in my life. Even though as friends. I don't know who won it yet, the judge just gave the envelope and I can open it when I'm on stage with the three finalists. So I get on stage and ask for the three finalists to come up, including Loren.

While Loren walks towards the stage, I can see she's trying her best not to look at me. She looks at the ground and doesn't even give me one look. It's time for me to open the envelope. When I open it and get out the card, I'm so happy.

LOREN'S POV

"The winner of my contest is... Loren Tate." I can't believe the words that just came out of Eddie's mouth. I won the contest. OMG! What am I gonna do now? I can't think right now, I can't breathe. What's wrong with me. I run of the stage, I need air to breathe. I walk out and start crying. Melissa comes out and tries to comfort me, even though I know she doesn't understand why I'm crying.

"Lo? What's wrong? You won!" Mel says. She doesn't understand, off course she wouldn't. I never told her what happened with Eddie.

"I didn't wanna win." She looks at me, confused. "There's something I haven't told you yet. You know the day I found out that I was accepted at Brown?"

"Off course I do, you were so happy." Mel puts her arm around me for comfort me.

"Well, I needed to think about it, hard. Because I don't wanna leave my mom here, alone. So I went to my thinking spot." I told her, even though I'll never tell her where that spot is.

"You're talking about the spot you don't want me to know where it is?" She asks a little bit hurt.

"Yes. I went there and while I was driving, I saw someone standing on the middle of the road. So I pulled up, got out and you'll not believe when I say it was Eddie." I look up to Mel, to see her reaction.

"Off course I won't believe you! You met him?" Mel looks at me like I'm a stranger. "And you didn't tell me?"

"I didn't tell you, because... I couldn't bring myself to talk about what happened. We just talked, that was nice, but after that ... he kissed me." I sigh. I see the look at Mel's face. It's the look of excitement. "I kissed him back, but ... then he pulled back, told me he was sorry for kissing me and left." The excitement on Mel's face makes place for an angry expression.

"What do you mean with: he left?" I can see she's really angry at Eddie for what he did to me and that's something I was trying to avoid.

"He just left, okay. Please don't be mad at him, you don't even know him. I don't even know him. But you know, I can't work with him on my song. I can't see him and not think about what happened." I'm trying to make sure she calms down.

I can see the expression on Mel's face changing. She's having her: I have a plan - face. I don't like this, I don't like it all. "I have the perfect revenge." She exclaims. This is when I get scared. "You should go through with this, you know why? You need to let him see that he doesn't get to you at all. Let him see how strong you are."

"But I'm not strong." I think she's crazy, she wants me to work with Eddie while pretending not te be hurt. I know, it sounds like the perfect revenge, but I don't wanna take revenge. Well, it is a good opportunity though for me, to get in the singing business. I've been singing for almost all my life and it's always been a dream for me to become a singer. You know what? Mel's right. I should go through with this. I get back in, searching for Eddie and his manager to tell them how happy I am I won and ask them about what's going to happen now.

I'm sorry this chapter is a bit short, but this is because I wanna start with Eddie's POV the next chapter. I'm gonna tell this same situation in his POV and it would be weird to this in this chapter. Keep reading. Love you all guys!
