Loren:

Did he just say that him and Lia kissed? There's no way that can be true, I knew that Lia girl was trouble. I was right in assuming that she wanted to take Eddie away from me, well I wont let that happen, I cant lose Eddie, he's everything to me. We've been through some rough times together but we've always made it through them, well come to think of it we've only ever been through one big tragedy; Eddie's "death." But we overcame that and all the negative comments about Eddie pushing Chloe off the balcony that night we can over come this. I refuse to lose him.

Eddie didn't know what Loren was thinking about he just hoped that she would understand, he needed her to understand she was his everything. Without Loren he felt that his life would be dull and he didn't want to live a dull life, and more importantly he didn't want to live a life without Loren.

Eddie: "Loren please say something, I don't want you to be mad at me, trust me it meant nothing to me and it never happened again."

Loren: "Eddie I'm not mad at you, I'm a little sad that you didn't tell me right away, but I understand why you didn't tell me right away. Things have been pretty crazy lately. And knowing you, you probably didn't want to ruin my special nights. Which is one of the many reason Mr. Duran that I love you so much."

Eddie was thrilled knowing that Loren wasn't mad at him, he was especially happy knowing that she understood his reasons for not telling her about Lia. She was definitely not like any other girl he had met; and for that reason he was exceptionally happy.

Eddie: "Thank God Loren, I don't know if I could've lived with myself knowing that you were mad at me. So Miss Loren Tate what would you like to do now that this is all behind us?"

Loren: "Hmm I don't know I was liking the view we had outside, but then again I like how things were just a few minutes ago."

Loren couldn't help but move closer to Eddie, she needed him more than she needed anybody else. It was like he was the oxygen she needed to get on with her life. As she placed her head on his chest she couldn't help but to smile at the way Eddie's heartbeat picked up. She never thought she could do that to someone let alone a rock star like Eddie Duran.

Eddie: "I could get use to this."

Loren: "What laying in a hotel bedroom watching whatever we're watching right now?"

Eddie: "No us laying like this, I could get use to this happening all the time."

Loren: "Well Mr. Duran play your cards right and maybe it will."

Eddie had never felt so at peace with anybody, not even Chloe, but he knew he couldn't keep comparing Loren to Chloe there wasn't even a competition between the two. Loren always had the leg up on Chloe for a while, but he never truly realized it. But what Loren said rang in his mind what did she mean when she said that.

Eddie: "What do you mean?"

Loren: "I mean if you're lucky enough then it could become a reality. You could be stuck with me for the rest of your life. Now isn't that a scary thought, you could wake up to scary Loren in the morning."

Eddie: "Well I hope that I am lucky enough to have that become my reality. And I don't think you could ever be scary looking, you will forever be my beautiful Loren."

Loren loved when Eddie said stuff like that to her, she knew how rough her mornings could go but she didn't want to let that on to Eddie, she never knew if things would progress that far. And she didn't want to push Eddie away; she loved him too much to let him go.

Loren: "Haha well your beautiful Loren has some pretty rough mornings to say in the least."

Eddie: "Hmm well would you like to talk about these rough mornings?"

Eddie couldn't help but feel a little tired, after everything that had happened the night before he finally allowed his body to tell him it needed rest. He was slowly drifting off but loved talking with Loren too much to fully fall asleep. He wanted to know everything there was to know. But he couldn't help it as he started drifting further and further into his sleep.

Loren looked up and saw that Eddie was drifting off; she loved how peaceful he looked when he slept. She didn't want to wake him but she had to go and talk to Melissa about everything that had just happened. So she carefully got up from the bed, grabbed the room key and headed to Mel's room.

Mel: "Hey Lo, what's wrong did something happen? Do I need to go have a talk with Mr. rock star? Because I can totally do that."

Loren: "Whoa Mel slow down. First something did happen, and no you do not need to go talk with Eddie he's sleeping. But I do need to talk to you about what just happened."

Mel: "Oh boy should I be sitting for this? Or is it going to be one of those things that if I sit I'm just going to jump right back up screaming at?"

Loren: "Honestly it could go either way so it's totally up to you."

Mel: "Ok I think I'm going to sit, that will probably be better."

Loren: "Ok now that we've figured that out, what I wanted to talk to you about is something that happened tonight. Eddie told me something that totally took me by surprise. Lia kissed him."

Mel didn't know what to think first of all she knew she had to figure out who this Lia chick was and second of all she had to go pound some sense into her. Nobody tried taking her best friends boyfriend away.

Mel: "Ok first question who is Lia?"

Loren: "Oh yea sorry Lia is some girl who helped Eddie get better, don't ask me her last name because I don't even know it. But apparently Jake got her and her brother Jeremy a meeting with a record label here so I have a feeling we will both learn their last names together."

Mel: "Ok, second question now that you say that. Why is Jake helping them?"

Loren: "I guess Eddie told her to go to Jake and that he would help all of their dreams come true."

Mel: "Well that was nice of him considering this chick thought it was ok to kiss him."

Loren: "Yeah that's my Eddie for you."

Loren couldn't help but smile as she let the words escape her mouth and it hit home for her Eddie was really all hers. And she wasn't afraid to admit it.

Mel: "So what are you going to do now? Because you already know what I would do."

Loren: "And at this point I think what you would do is the best thing for me… I have to talk to Lia."

Mel: "Now you just need to figure out what room number she is. Which should be easy since you're 'Loren Tate' and everybody loves you."

Loren could hear the sarcasm dripping from Mel's mouth as soon as she had said all that.

Loren: "Ha ha aren't you just a little comedian, but seriously I do need to call down to the front desk and find out what room number Lia is."

Without further delay Loren picked up the phone that was in Melissa's room and dialed 0 for the front desk. She was quickly greeted by an over zealous desk attendant.

Phone conversation

Attendant: "Hello front desk how may I help you."

Loren: "Hello this is Loren Tate calling…"

Attendant: "Why hello Miss Tate is there something big I can do for you?"

Loren: "Actually yes there is I was wondering if you could tell me what room Lia and Jeremy were staying in?"

Attendant: "I'm sorry do you happen to have a last name?"

Loren: "No I don't but Jake Madsen booked their room."

Attendant: "Oh you mean the two blonde kids, yes they are in room 201."

Loren: "Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Have a great rest of your night."

Attendant: "You as well Miss Tate."

Mel: "Well what room are they in?"

Loren: "201."

Mel: "Well what are you waiting for Christmas? Get to the bottom of this, find out why she did it."

Loren: "Ok ok I'm going Jeeze sometimes I think you are exactly the push I need. Thanks Mel."

And with that Loren walked down the hall and stopped 20 doors down and looked at the brass numbers on the door, 201. She hoped that Lia was still awake considering the time was encroaching on to 1 in the morning.

She only had knocked once and found a wide-awake Lia standing right in front of her.

Loren: "Can we talk?"
