Loren:

I needed to talk to Lia; I needed to find out why she did what she did and if she is truly fine with Eddie not liking her. I don't know what I would do if I found out that she was trying to take Eddie away from me, losing him would be painful and I cant handle that kind of pain again.

Loren: "Can we talk?"

Lia didn't know if she wanted to talk to Loren, she knew it would end badly but she knew Loren needed to know how she felt about Eddie, and that no matter what she would let Eddie choose. So she let Loren come in; she was glad that Jeremy was a heavy sleeper.

Lia: "Sure…does Eddie know you're here?"

Loren: "No but I really don't see why that's any of your concern. I just wanted to ask you about what happened between you and Eddie."

Lia: "Oh um well I'm sure Eddie told you about the kiss."

Loren: "Yeah he did, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you still have feelings for him?

Lia didn't know what to say, she didn't want Eddie to hate her, but she needed to let Loren know how she felt. She really liked Eddie but she knew deep down that there was no way Eddie would leave Loren.

Lia: "I want to be completely honest with you, I really like him and if you weren't in the picture I would make dang sure that him and I were together. But who knows things can change; look at what happened between him and Chloe; you."

Loren couldn't believe what Lia had said, she had to fight against herself to not go over and punch Lia so hard she would wake up in 2013. She had no right accusing Loren of breaking up Chloe and Eddie; due to the fact that she knew Chloe had taken care of that all on her own.

Loren: "Ok first I want to say I admire that you were honest with me but in all that you didn't realize one big thing, Chloe broke them up; not me and if you think that I will do that to Eddie you have another thing coming, I'm glad that you helped him but you knew full well that him and I were together; and yet you still kissed him. I'm not as mad as I thought I would be but I'm still hurt. Why would you do that?"

Lia: "I honestly felt a pull towards him in that moment, it was like him and I were meant to be."

Loren: "Yea well you re-think that theory of yours because if you and him were meant to be he would have left me right after you're kiss, but we both know he didn't."

Lia: "But if he did, would you let him? And would you hurt me for taking him?"

Loren: "No I wouldn't hurt you, as tempting as that sounds I wouldn't hurt you. If Eddie wanted to be with you I wouldn't stop him, I want him to be happy and after everything Chloe put him through I wouldn't stop him. But you have to understand that I wouldn't stop talking to him either, just like I'm not going to force him to stop talking to you."

Lia: "Wow Eddie wasn't kidding when he said you were a kind and loving person. I don't think you have a mean bone in your body."

Loren: "Oh trust me it's there, I just didn't think it would need to come out tonight."

Loren laughed at herself when she thought back to all the times she was mean, she couldn't count that many because the only time she was ever mean was to Adrianna but she deserved it half the time.

Lia: "Well if that's all you want to know I would really like to go to bed, so goodnight Loren."

Loren: "Thanks Lia, for explaining to me what was going on. Good luck in everything."

And with her head held high and her questions answered she left Lia's room satisfied. She knew she didn't have to worry about Eddie leaving her, but she wanted to know what Lia's intentions were.

As she walked into her room she realized that Eddie wasn't laying down anymore but was sitting outside on the balcony. She wondered when he woke up, and couldn't help but feel guilty knowing he probably freaked out, and she hadn't even considered taking her phone. She walked out onto the balcony and saw that he had tears flowing down his face.

Loren: "Eddie, whats wrong?"

Eddie: "Loren, where did you go? I woke up and you were gone."

Loren: "I went to talk with Mel."

Loren couldn't believe she lied to Eddie like that she knew she had to tell the truth. "Actually I went to talk to Lia. I wanted to know how she truly felt for you, and I got my answer."

Eddie couldn't believe Loren went and talked to Lia. He wasn't mad at her, he just didn't want Loren in a room alone with her; he wondered what had happened but if Loren was happy he didn't want to ruin that, but he knew sooner or later she would ask about the tears.

Loren: "Eddie why are you crying? You never answered me the first time I asked you."

Eddie: "It's just I got to thinking about my mom, she loved New York only because it was always so lively. But she also had a drawback, she always said when she was here she could never hear herself think. I always laughed at that but now I'm realizing it's true."

Loren didn't know what to say, she didn't exactly know what it was like to have a parent die, but she did have a father who abandoned her, but it was nothing to what Eddie had to go through.

Loren: "Do you want to talk about it?"

Eddie: "Actually it has to do with you."

Loren: "Oh?"

Eddie: "Don't worry its nothing bad, it's just trying to figure out what to do next, we only just started dating and I don't want to ruin anything but I want you near me as long as possible, not having you by my side was terrible. But I don't want to move this too fast and I know you moving in with me is going to fast but I want you over as many times as you can be."

Loren: "I think we can work something out." She couldn't help but wink at him as she said that, she definitely wanted to be as close to Eddie; she knew her mom already knew that too so she wasn't too worried about talking to her about it.

Eddie loved Loren's playful banter but knew that if they didn't get to bed right away they would definitely not be any fun the next day. They both decided it was smart to go back into the room and sleep.

Loren was absolutely elated when she saw Eddie extend his arm for her to snuggle up into him. She never wanted that to end but she knew morning would come too soon. So she had to soak it in while she still could.

Loren: "I love you Eddie."

Eddie: "I love you too Loren. Good night"

Loren: "Sweet dreams rockstar."

Eddie chuckled: "Don't forget you're a rockstar too."

Loren: "Yeah I guess I forget that sometimes. Anyways good night."

And with their goodnight's and I love you's said the finally let exhaustion take them into the most amazing sleep they had ever had; neither one moving from the other's embrace.
