Rockstar's Thoughts and Best Friend Moments

Eddie POV

After leaving Loren so hesitantly, I go run some errands. I put on my sunglasses and hat and head to the grocery store. (Luckily I make it through without being recognized) It's funny because as I'm shopping I try to think of stuff that Loren might like to eat if she's ever over. I've grown so attached to her so quickly. I shake my thoughts away and head home.

I've been writing for the past hour if not more. I have all these thoughts and ideas in my head. I haven't been this full of ideas since my first album. I feel like this new sound and direction with my music will still capture the attention of my fans. Hopefully Jake will be supportive instead of all technical but knowing him I shouldn't get my hopes up. So far my song goes like this.

"Words I've never heard this much,

In my head I'm given up.

Now I know to never trust,

But my heart tells me to love.

I gave you my all,

How is it my fault?

You left.

You knock me down but I'm not given up

You try to drown me but I'm coming up

For air, oh,

You can rattle the cage

But the animal stays.

Oohh I'll stay strong,

Oohh I'll stay strong

(Stay Strong by Michael Stagliano) (not the whole song but check it out. It's a really good song)

The song is, I guess both about Chloe and Loren. Chloe broke my heart. She made me lose faith is love but the sad part is there is still a part of me that feels something for her. I hope that it doesn't cause problems with Loren and I in the future but knowing the "new" Chloe I cant count on that.

With Loren, she opened me up again to the idea of love without even realizing it myself until I kissed her the first time.

I start writing in notes for the lyrics I have so far until I heard by phone go off. I smile at the name. Loren. She just wanted to give me a hint about tonight of what to wear. In between casual and formal so I'm guessing a nice pair a jeans and a button down should do the trick.

I look at the clock. 5:45, still an hour and forty-five minutes to go. It's crazy how fast I'm falling for her. I cant say I'm not enjoying all of it. I thought that after Chloe, I would stay guarded, but somehow with Loren that didn't work. When I started to become friends with her and hang out, I thought that's all it would be, friendship, but somewhere along the way it changed. It's like she has this hold over me.

Loren POV

I drop by Mel's since I feel like we haven't seen each other in forever. I've been caught up in my own stuff that I feel like I haven't been there enough for her just to make sure everything is okay. I know there's some drama with her aunt Beth and whatever is going on with that, not to mention all these Phil issues and since I have time before I have to meet Eddie, what better way than to see my best friend.

I seriously have no idea what I would do without Mel. I just walk in like we usually do with each other's houses.

"Mel! Where you at?" I bellow through the house.

"In my room!" she yells back.

As I start heading over I see Lisa and wave hi.

"Hey, what's up?" I say as I flop onto her bed.

"Lo! I miss you! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" she gushes.

"I know! I'm so sorry I've just been so caught up that I feel like I don't see you enough! i feel so bad! But I'm here now and I want to know what's up with my best friend."

"Oh Lo, it's totally fine! I know you're busy but now that I have you here I just need you right now!"

"Well, I'm here now so hit me with it! I'm all ears for the next 2 hours."

"Where do you have to be?" she asks

"I kind of have a date with Eddie" I blush like crazy

Mel lets out a huge squeal! "OOHHH! Call me with the details later!"

"I will but right now we are talking about you!"

She starts with all the details about how Adam found her. She apparently lives in Palm Springs and Mel has her number but doesn't know if she should call her. Her mom doesn't want her to pursue this but knowing Mel the suspense is killing her.

"Ok so before I get started on Phil, give me your opinion on this. I mean what should I do!?"

"Well one the one hand she's your aunt and you just want to do this for your mom. Your intentions on the matter and nothing short of kindness but you are also curious you cant deny that because if you weren't you would have stopped this. That is a reason to keep pursuing this. On the other hand, maybe your mom hid a greater part of the story. There may be a deeper reason as to why she doesn't want to talk to your aunt. Now to conclude this, in the end it's your choice. You make the decision and you have to live with what you decide."

"I don't know what I would do without you, Lo. Adam, tried to help and I love him for it and I appreciate it but I needed my best friend for this."

"Aww, Mel! I'm always here! Don't forget that; I'm a phone call away and if it's an emergency you know I would drop anything and everything to help you with whatever it is!"

"Thanks, Lo. Now this Phil situation is more frustrating than anything. My parents are just fighting about how to handle the situation and I feel like Phil doesn't care! I went over to try and get him to come home, but he just doesn't seem to care!"

"You know that Phil does whatever the hell he want, Mel. When has he ever cared done anything different?"

"You're right I just wish there was something I could do."

"Just wait it out. This is something that isn't in your control."

"yeah. Thanks for being here for my rant."

I laugh. "Anytime, Mel. Really."

"Well you better get going and get ready. You have a date with a rock star that I better get details about later."

"That's not a problem." I laugh and give her a hug. "I'll call you with all the dets."

I say bye to Lisa and think about my date with Eddie. I'm excited to have the reins on the plans. I have a feeling he's going to love this place.
