Hollywood Heights

Chapter 6

Loren and Eddie are still kissing completely unaware of what was going on around them totally immersed in their own world when everyone came running onto the stage to congratulate Loren on a job well done. Nora came running on stage and had to tear Loren away from Eddie to pull her into a tight hug

Nora: Honey, that was amazing you were phenomenal out there.

Loren: Really?

Melissa: Loren you should have seen the crowd those last two songs were out of this world there wasn't even a single dry eye in the room.

Loren: You really think they liked the songs?

Melissa: Loren what wasn't to like?

Loren: I was afraid they were to heavy and depressing

Melissa: Loren are you crazy after the week you went through not to have written a song like that would have been crazy you were sensational.

Melissa then spots Eddie sitting on the sidelines deep in thought and figures that while everyone else is congratulating Loren this will be a perfect opportunity to talk to him about what really happened while he was missing. Kelly, Jake and Max come over and talk to Loren while Melissa slips away unnoticed and walks over to Eddie.

Melissa: Eddie, can we talk?

Eddie: Sure whats up?

Melissa: I think you know whats bothering me right now.

Eddie: Your still hooked on that conversation from earlier?

Melissa: How could i not be?

Eddie: You have every right to be, but Mel can i ask you one favor?

Melissa: Ask i might not do it thought

Eddie laughs lightly

Eddie: Can you hear me out completely hear the entire story and only judge me once i finish

Melissa: I think i can do that for you.

Eddie: I don't want to talk about this here, i don't want the information to be heard by the wrong people.

Melissa: You're right, where do you want to go?

Eddie: Well i rented a car for our stay here, can you join me for a little ride?

Melissa: Sure works for me, but what do we tell Loren?

Eddie: Leave Loren up to me. Meet me at the entrance to the hotel in five minutes.

Melissa leaves and goes to gather her things while Eddie walks over to Max and pulls him away from the rest of the crew.

Eddie: Dad, Mel found out about what we were talking about on the plane and i want to explain it to her properly, can you distract Loren so she doesn't realize either one of us is missing.

Max: Yes, i really hope you can get Melissa to help you out with this so the outcome can work in your favor.

Eddie: Me to, thanks pops i really appreciate.

Max: Good luck son

Max and Eddie hug and Eddie walks off he meets Melissa at the car they both get in, at first its all quiet in the car and then Melissa begins talking.

Melissa: So this is awkward but how did it happen?

Eddie: The accident or the other thing?

Melissa: The other thing, the topic where you cheated on Loren while you were dead.

Eddie: Ouch

Melissa: Yeah sorry

Eddie: Its okay i deserved that i guess. Well here is what happened. I found out that Chloe killed my mom and i went for a drive, in my emotional state that wasn't the smartest decision. Someone had stolen my car a guy and his sister found me and nursed me back to help. I couldn't go the hospital because i was wanted for throwing Chloe off the balcony, a crime i did not commit. Anyway i finally convinced Leah, she was the girl who was taking care of me to bring me back to LA because i wanted to get in touch with Loren. When we got here she kissed me out of the blue. I quickly pushed her off of me and yelled at her and told her that she can't do that because i am in love with Loren. But...
