EDDIE'S POV
I was talking to my dad when suddenly I heard a girls voice
"Um hello I'm sorry to interrupt but my daughter has to go to the bathroom and I was wondering if she can use it here?"
I looked up at the girl, next to her stood a little girl who I think was three and in her hand she had a car seat with a baby girl who seemed a few months old.
"Don't need to be sorry and of course she can use the bathroom" pops said
Wow that girl is really beautiful I wonder if she has a boyfriend.. wait Eddie don't be stupid she has two kids she is probably married.
"Thank you, were is it?" the girl said.
"Just down the hall first door on your left, why don't you let that little one here with us we will watch her till you're back" pops said looking over at the little baby.
"Oh no it's okay I don't want to bother you"
"You don't bother us, and it will be easier for you" I said with an reassuring smile, I really want to know more about this girl.
"Okay then" she said while setting the car seat on the bar
"I will be right back, come on sweetie" She walked away to the bathroom with the little girl on her hand.
I looked over at the baby girl she really looked like her mom she had the same beautiful brown eyes.
"Hello there cutie" I said while grabbing her little hand.
"I didn't know you are so good with children" my dad said with a smile on his face
"I've always been good with children pops, you just never saw me with one" I said still looking at the little girl.
"Yeah that's true, she's really adorable"
"I know, but I think she has that from her mom because her sister has it too"
"Oh god Eddie stop thinking about that, it's not going to happen"
"What are you talking about" I said with a innocent look on my face.
"You know what I am talking about Eddie don't play dumb"
"I won't do anything okay, she's probably married so I don't even have a chance with her" I said kind of disappointed.
Before pops could say anything else the girl came back carrying her daughter.
"Thank you again for letting her use the bathroom here and for watching my baby girl"
"You don't have to thank us it was nothing" pops said while smiling at her.
"Mommy is a fan of you both she's always listening to your songs" the little girl said with a huge smile on her face.
Her mom blushed and looked at the ground saying
"I'm going before she can embarrass me more"
"What I love to hear I still have fans especially if they're younger " pops said.
"My mom loved MK and she always played it when I was young so I kind of grew up with it" her face became a little sad when she mentioned her mom.
"I think your mom has a good taste" pops said smiling.
"Yeah she had" the girl said smiling.
"I'm sorry is your mom dead?"
"because you talked in past tense" pops said with a sad look on his face.
"No she isn't dead I just haven't talked to her for a few years"
I finally spoke up
"Oh why's that?" I saw her face becoming sadder than it already was
"If you want to talk about it I mean you don't have to"
"No it's okay Eddie i can tell you"
"Hey that's not fair you know our names but we don't know yours"
she chuckled
"My name is Loren Tate and this Ally and that is Liv" she said first pointing to the girl in her arms and then to the baby girl.
"Nice to meet you all" I said with a smile.
"Mommy I want to draw" Ally said tapping Loren's shoulder.
"Okay sweetie go sit at that table I will grab your drawing book" She put Ally down grabbed a drawing book and some pencils out her bag and put it down in front of Ally who sat at a table.
"Don't draw on the table okay"
"No mommy" Loren walked back to us and sat on a chair.
"Do you guys want to hear the whole story or only the part with my mom?"
"Whatever you want and feel good with"
"Well I guess I can tell the whole story if that's okay with you two"
"Yes of course Loren" pops said.
LORENS POV
"Okay here it go's"
I took a deep breath before I started telling the story.
"So when I was eighteen I was a senior in high school I was just a normal teenager. I had a best friend named Melissa and of course I had a boyfriend named Cameron" when I said Cameron I immediately thought about the night he left but I shook it off and continued the story
"So me and Cameron were dating a few months when I became pregnant from Ally, at first I was scared but Cameron told me that he would take care of me and the baby and he even proposed to me. So a few months later Ally was born, at first everything went well and we were a happy family but after 2 months Cameron started drinking and we were fighting more often and he started ignoring me and Ally. My mom was warning me, she said that I had to leave Cameron because he wouldn't change. Of course I was still in love and didn't listen to her or to my best friend Mel who also warned me. So after a while I stopped talking to my mom Nora and Melissa. So about three years later I became pregnant with Liv of course I was happy about it but Cameron couldn't care less. So when Liv was born Cameron started drinking more and he was never at home. So two weeks ago one night Cameron came home from work and as always went to the kitchen to grab some beer, I was watching TV and had finally rest from a long day. He wanted to watch TV and normally I would give in because I didn't want to fight but I just couldn't take it anymore and started arguing with him about him always being drunk and never paying attention to me or the girls then he said that he never wanted a family with me and that he just stayed with me because his dad told him to man up"
When I talked about this a tear rolled out my eye, Eddie noticed this an pulled me in a hug
"It's alright Loren if you don't want to talk about it anymore we understand"
"No it's alright" I said while wiping my tear away
"So after he said that I start yelling at him and told him that if he didn't care about us why he didn't just leave, so he packed a bag and just left and I haven't seen or heard from him after that"
"I'm so sorry Loren" Max said while taking my hand
"It's not your fault, it's mine"
"What Loren it's not your fault either he was just an selfish ass"
"Thanks Eddie but it really was my fault I mean it all makes sense now"
"What do you mean Loren?"
"Well when I was four my dad walked out on me and my mom and now Cameron does the same thing"
"That they're to stupid to see what a wonderful person you are doesn't mean it's your fault" Eddie said while taking my hands
"I know but I just can't stop thinking about this being all my fault"
I looked down at my hands in Eddie's when Eddie let go of my hand and lifted my chin
"Listen to me this is not your fault don't ever think that again you're an amazing person and you have beautiful kids who have a great mom" I immediately smiled when I heard those words
"Thanks Eddie"
"I'm only saying the truth"
"Loren everything is going to be okay trust me, I'll give you my number and if you ever need something just call okay?" Max said while writing his number down
"Thank you Max"
I smiled at the thought that they already cared about me when they just met me.
"I will write my number down as well so you also can call me when you need something"
"Thank you both so much it really means a lot to me that you care about me when we just met"
"Of course Loren I already see you as my own daughter" Max said while pulling me into a hug.
Suddenly I heard Liv crying I pulled away from Max and grabbed Liv and held her in my arms
"Shh baby it's okay mommy is here"
I turned towards Max and Eddie.
"I think she needs a diaper change can you two watch Ally when I change her diaper?"
"Of course we can" Eddie said with a smile
"Thanks" I walked away to the toilets
EDDIE'S POV
Wow she has really been through a lot, if I had to go through that I would be a wreck right now. But she has to stay strong for her girls, I really want to help her because she really deserves it.
"Where's mommy?" Ally said while looking around.
"She is at the bathroom changing Liv's diaper"
"Oh okay.." she said while starting to draw again. I walked to her and sat down next to her in the booth. I looked at her drawing and saw a house with a man and a woman looking happy and two little girls playing.
"That's a really good drawing" when I said that she looked up to me and smiled
"Thank you it's a drawing from me, Liv, mommy and daddy"
I became sad at the thought that she and Liv would have to grow up without a dad. Then she said something that made me even more sadder
"I miss daddy I wish he would come back" she said with tears in her eyes.
after that my heart broke how can someone just leave his family like that. I looked again at Ally and saw a tear rolling out her eye
"Shh it's okay" I said while stroking her hair
"Everything is going to be alright okay? You have a great mom who loves you to dead and if you need anything you can ask me okay?" I said while still stroking her hair.
she looked up at me with tears in her eyes
"Really?"
"Yes really"
she stood up on the couch and hugged me
"Thank you"
My heart melted, I already love this girl. I wiped her tears away and kissed her on her head
"Do you want something to drink sweetie?"
"Yes some water please"
"Okay I'll be right back" I said while smiling at her.
I stood up and walked to the bar
"Pop can you give me a water please for Ally"
"Yes of course" he said while grabbing a glass with water
"Here you go"
"Thanks"
I walked over to Ally and gave her the glass
"Thanks" she said while smiling
"You're welcome sweetie"
I heard footsteps and looked at the door I saw Loren walking back with Liv in her arms, she put her bag down and sat on the chair with Liv sitting on her lap I walked over and also sat on a chair
"Can I ask you something Loren?" Pops said from behind the bar
"Yes of course what is it?"
"How do you pay your bills and stuff now?"
"I have a job at a café in the valley it doesn't pay much but I manage to life from it"
"But who's watching the girls if you are at work?" I said
"My neighbor Bella does, she loves the kids and the kids love her so when she heard about Cameron leaving she helped me out"
"I have a suggestion for you Loren it will help us both out" pops said, me and Loren looked curious at pops
"What do you mean Max?" Loren said confused
"Well I need someone here at the club to help me out with paperwork and stuff and I was wondering if you wanted to do that, you get paid more than at the café"
"Are you serious about that Max, because I don't want you to say this because you feel bad for me or something"
"Yes I'm serious I would really like to help you and if you take the job you will also help me"
I saw some doubt in Loren's eyes
"Come on Loren you're our friend an friends help each other out"
Loren looked up with a smile
"Okay then, I will take the job"
"Great can you start tomorrow?"
"Yes of course what time do I have to be here?"
"Uh around three will do fine"
"Okay thank you so much Max" she said while walking around to give pops a hug
"Well I think I have to go now, I need to go to the store and stop by the café to quit my job" she said while pulling away and grabbing her stuff
"Ally we have to go now are you coming?"
Ally looked up
"Aw do we have to go"
"Yes sweetie, come on"
"Okay"
Ally grabbed her stuff and walked over to Loren
"Come here I will put it in my bag"
Ally gave her stuff to Loren and Loren put it in her bag
"Thank you both so much and I will see you tomorrow Max"
"It was our pleasure and you'll see both of us tomorrow because Eddie has a photo shoot here"
"Oh okay then, Ally are you going to say bye"
Ally walked over to us and gave me and pops a hug
"Bye" she said while walking back to Loren
"Well bye guys" Loren said while walking away
"Bye!" me and pops said at the same time.
When Loren was out of sight I turned to pops
"Well I think I'm going to go as well"
"Oh so because Loren isn't around anymore you want to go" pops said with a huge smile on his face
"No of course not... okay maybe you are a little bit right but I also have to go home to write some songs otherwise Jake is going to complain again"
"Okay then I'll see you tomorrow"
I gave pops a hug
"Love you"
"Love you to son" I pulled away and walked out the club and went home thinking about Loren.
