AN: I'm so sorry. I haven't written for this story in about a half year. That is really bad. I just had so much to do with school and my job. It's terrible. But now I'm back. Yesterday I've started a story for Pretty Little Liars and today I'm continuing this story. Because this is my most successfull story for Hollywood Heights. Maybe a little copy from the last chapter, to refresh your memory. Enjoy my dears.

I'm in my car driving towards the Café. I just got a call from Cam, telling me we should talk. I didn't know how fast to take my stuff and go. We seriously need to talk. I hate it that he loves me, but I don't love him yet. But there isn't anything I can do about it. I didn't want to lie to him, because I hate lying.

I'm absolutely sure that love will come, real soon. I really like him and I absolutely don't want to lose him. I don't want him to leave me, but I'm sure that will happen any day now, because I don't deserve a guy like Cam. The most important man in my life left me when I was only 4 years old. Every other man that will come in my life will do the same.

And then there's Eddie: the guy who hurt me the day that he kissed me and walked away. I forgave him, but I'll never forget what happened. I had a lot to think about that day, but what happened between him and me gave me even more to think about. I've got a problem. Even though he hurt me, my heart still flutters when he looks me in the eyes, with his big beautiful brown eyes. When he touches me, my skin begins to tinkle. I don't know why, but it has to stop. I have to focus on my relationship with Cam.

I park my car in the parking lot of the Café and I recognize Cam's car. I get my courage together and get out of my car. I walk towards the entrance and I feel my heart beat just a little bit faster. I can see him sitting at our regular booth. I stand still for just a minute and take a deep breath. I push the door open and move myself towards our booth and take a seat on the opposite of Cam.

We both keep still for a couple of seconds and I avoid any eye contact with him. The waiter, asking us if we want something to drink, interrupts the silence between us. We both order a coke, our favorite drink. That's when Cam decides to speak up. "I'm sorry Loren, but this is just not going to work out anymore. I love you, but you clearly have feelings for Eddie. You know what? I can't be angry with you about that and I'm really happy that you were honest. I think it's only fair for the both of us that we'll both go our own way. In this way, I can find someone who does love me and you can figure out the things happening between you and Eddie."

I didn't expect this at all. I was here to apologize and tell Cam that from now on I would completely focus myself on our relationship. I'm too astonished to say something, anything really. That's when Cam furthers along. "I really hate myself for the way I behaved today. I don't want that. I'm not the jealous guy, but when you can feel your girlfriend doesn't love you, but has feelings for another guy, you behave differently. I don't blame you at all. But, this is the best Loren."

You know what? The more I think about it, the more I realize that he's right. It makes no sense for us to stay together. Who am I fooling here? I'm sitting in front of my boyfriend, for now, who's madly in love with me. And I… I like him, but I don't love him. And I should feel butterflies while with him, but I don't, those things I feel when I'm with Eddie. "You're right Cam. I'm sorry for not being honest about this earlier. It's best for the both of us, if we break up. Can we still be friends though?"

"Of course we can Loren. But I think it's best if we don't see each other for two weeks. So I can get rid of this amorousness I have for you. Please?" I get it. Because, that's what I've been trying to do with Eddie for the last two months. I hate that till now it still didn't work. I hope it will work for Cam.

We drink our cokes and then we say our goodbyes with three hugs and a little goodbye kiss. I won't tell Eddie just yet, I won't give him that satisfaction. I pick up my phone and I send a text to Mel. "It's over between Cam and me, but please don't tell Eddie. Can we meet up? X"

I immediately get a text back from Mel. "Of course honey. I'm here for you! Your house in ten minutes? X"

I get in my car and drive home. Five minutes after that I hear knocking on the door: Mel. She gives me a dramatic hug. "How are you feeling?" I haven't asked that question to myself yet, but I'm actually fine. I get that I should have a broken heart right now, but I don't feel that. The only thing I feel is relief.

"Surprisingly enough, I'm fine." Mel takes me by my shoulders. She looks at me. She doesn't have to say anything; I can see that she doesn't believe me. "Really Mel. The only reason why it didn't work out is because I don't love him. I tried to get over all that stuff with Eddie and that's why I started a relationship with Cam. That was wrong of me. And besides, that didn't work out. And from now on I'll be working with Eddie every day. That won't get him out of my head."

Mel drops my shoulders, walks to the couch and than walks back to the kitchen. She opens the fridge and pours herself some juice. She's feeling really at home here. "So he's in your head? You're in love with Eddie Duran and Eddie Duran's in love with you. Lo, this is so weird, but in a good way." Like always she gets a little ahead of herself. Yes, I do have feelings for Eddie and he probably has some for me. But, that doesn't mean we're in love.

"Uh, Mel. Stop! There are feelings, but you just jump to amorousness. Wait and you're going to be saying we're getting married and we'll have kids." I drop myself at the couch. I sigh. This is a really difficult situation. I can't start something with Eddie right now, well that is if he likes me. He hurt me when I've only known him for twenty minutes. I don't know anymore. I lean into my hands and I feel that Mel's sitting next to me and she's putting her arm around me.

"I can see you're confused and that's okay. You just broke up with Cam and Eddie was a real jerk. What he did to you was really low and that hurt you. Trust is something that has to be built and that's fine. Just talk to Eddie about this. I've got the feeling that he'll understand. If need be, go talk to him now or otherwise talk to him tomorrow. Anyway, I've got to go now. If I'm not home by dinnertime, I'm dead. I'm here for you, okay? We'll Skype. Love you." And before I can even blink with my eyes, she's gone.

Mel's right. I have to talk about this with Eddie. I'd love to do it right now, but I don't have a number or an address. I could swing by MK; maybe he's there. But, isn't that a little bit exaggerating. Though tomorrow we won't have time for a serious talk. I decide to go. I get my jacket and car keys and take the car.

When I arrive at MK, I don't see Eddie anywhere, much to my disappointment. I do see a man sitting at the bar that I think is Eddie's father. When he stands up and walks my way I know for sure. That's Max Duran, the half of the legendary MK and Eddie's father. "Hey. You're Loren, right?" Max Duran knows my name?

"Uh, that's right. It's such an honor to meet you. My mom and I are really big fans." Look at me. I can't even form straight sentences.

"Don't worry. I'm just a person. What is a beautiful girl like you doing here? Are you looking for Eddie?" Yes, I'm looking for Eddie, but I don't know if I should tell his father.

"Actually I am. There's something I need to talk about with him, but I don't have his number or his address. So I hoped he would be here, but unfortunately he's not." I feel I'm blushing. I want to turn around when Max calls out my name.

"Loren, wait! I can give you his address if you want?"

"Oh no, that's not necessary. It's not that important, but thank you." Max still keeps me waiting and writes Eddie's address on a note. After a hug as goodbye, I drive my car to the address.

I park my car and I keep sitting in my car. I start to doubt about this. Is this a good idea? Well, I'm already here now. I get out of my car and walk into the building. I see an elevator and the concierge of the building. I can see on his nametag that his name is Jeffrey. "Hello misses, what can I do for you?"

I start to laugh nervously. I'm not a misses. What am I doing here? "I'm here to see Mr. Duran." He picks up his phone and probably starts calling Eddie. After telling him my name, he puts me in the elevator and sends me to the highest floor. "Thank you Jeffrey. Please don't call me misses. Have a nice day!" The doors of the elevator close and when I get to the highest floor, it's pretty clear to me which door I need to knock on. There's only one.

I knock on the door and Mr. Duran himself opens it. "Hey Loren, come in." I laugh nervously and blush. I walk inside and don't know where to look. Eddie lives in a really big and pretty penthouse. There's a big black piano in the middle of the room. The rest of his penthouse is full of black furniture: a couch and a chair in the other part of the room. There's also a table made of glass. It's really decorated nicely. I walk to his piano and let my hand slide on top of it. That's when I see pictures standing on the piano. They are pictures from Eddie with his parents and pictures of only Max and Katy. I pick one of the pictures up and notice that Eddie looks really happy. In the time that I know him, I've never seen Eddie that happy. My thoughts are broken because of Eddie's voice. "You're probably not here to look at my piano and my pictures. So why are you here?"

I can't look at him and I don't know how to answer his question, because I've got no idea what I'm doing here. "You look very happy in the picture. And you live great," I say looking around. He looks at me with his eyebrows raised. "I've got to talk to you," I say finally.

He walks towards his couch and lets me know I can sit next to him. I sit down and start talking. "It's over between Cam and me." I still can't look at him and I look at the ground. "It's better this way." I chuckle and than I sigh. I make the mistake looking in his eyes. I can see he doesn't understand a thing of what I'm saying. I start to laugh. "This is… I've got feelings for you," I say while looking at him. I can see he's blushing. "But… You hurt me. I forgave you, but it's still hard for me to step over that feeling." Only when I feel Eddie weep away a tear from my cheek with his thumb, I notice that there are tears streaming down my face.

We stare in each other's eyes for a moment and both don't know what to say. After awhile I can't stand it anymore and I look away. I sigh. "Why does life have to be this hard? Why can't it be easy just for once? You know?" At the last four words I look at Eddie again. I blush again, because until now I've been the only one talking. He makes me nervous. Does this mean I've seen everything wrong and he doesn't have feelings for me? I made a mistake. I should've never come here. I look away and try to stand up, but Eddie takes my hand and pulls me back on the couch. This time I'm even closer to him. Our faces are so close. I can smell his perfume and I get lost into his eyes. I feel him coming closer and I'm leaning into him. Right before we kiss, a telephone rings. We both let out sighs. It appears to be mine phone. It's my mom.

I excuse myself, get up of the couch and answer the phone. "Hi mom. What's wrong?" That comes out meaner than I meant to. But, she just ruined a perfect moment between Eddie and me, so I'm a little agitated.

"Hi honey. Is that how you greet your mom nowadays? I was just calling to ask you where you were. I'm home and you're not. I got Chinese and I hoped to eat it with you. Is there any chance you can be home in fifteen minutes? It's only you and me tonight." I can hear something sad in my mom's voice, but I don't ask her about it. I actually missed her. I decide to go home to eat and I let her know before I hang up the phone.

"Sorry. That was my mom. I have to go home for dinner. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?" I don't give him a chance to answer. Before he can say anything, I take my car keys and stand in the elevator going downstairs. When the elevator doors open, I see Jeffrey. "Have a great evening Jeffrey."

"You too Ms. Tate." When I want to ask him to just call me Loren, Chloe enters the building. Great, just the person I didn't want to see. I quickly walk outside and get in my car. I'm thinking about Eddie and how he must feel like shit and how much worse Chloe's going to make that. I still don't have his number. So I can't send him an encouraging text. It has to wait till tomorrow.
