Hollywood Heights

Chapter 23

The curtains open and Loren walks on stage holding her mike about to start the concert when she hears Melissa screaming.

Melissa: HELP! HELP! SECURITY! SOMEBODY HELP! 

Loren quickly runs off stage leaving the audience shocked and confused as to what's going on. Loren runs over to where Melissa was standing waving her hands dramatically trying to get everyone's attention.

Loren: Mel, whats going on? What are you screaming about?

Melissa points towards Tyler who is sitting next to Eddie really embarrassed.

Loren: Mel, it's okay i gave him the ticket, why don't you just sit down calmly and i will explain everything to you later, okay?

Melissa: Loren there is nothing you can say to make me change my mind about this guy. He slept with Chloe behind Eddie's back.

Loren: And if he hadn't where would we be today?

Melissa: He was in the car that killed Eddie's mom.

Loren: And if she was still alive who would Nora be dating? Dr. Don, i would like to assume not.

Melissa: He threatened you many times.

Loren: And it made me and Eddie grow much close to each other.

Melissa: You are totally missing the point Loren.

Loren: Am I? Or are you only trying to dwell on the bad things Tyler has done to all of us. Will i ever be able to forget them, probably not but what i was trying to prove to you is that everything that happens, happens for a reason. Sometimes we have a harder time finding the reason and sometimes it just takes time. Tyler came here asking for forgiveness, something that for me personally is really hard to give him, but everyone even the worst people her deserve a second chance.

All of a sudden they hear the audience erupt in applause and Loren gets a standing ovation. Loren looks over at Eddie really confused.

Eddie: You are supposed to be singing now so your mike is on. 

Loren looks down at the mike and smiles. She then puts her hand over the mike.

Loren: Melissa, please I am not asking you to marry the guy but just be civil for the rest of the evening and by the way he has been escorted here by the LA county jail security so you have nothing to worry about.

Melissa: Sorry for ruining your evening Lo,

Loren: No worries.

Loren then uncovers her mike and starts talking while she walks up to the stage.

Loren: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for that little speech, but now no more talking shall we get started with what you all came to here for? Lets get this party started.

The music goes on and Loren begins singing. The rest of the evening goes by uneventfully. When Loren finishes performing she is congratulated by her family as well as by her adoring fans. It was around ten and they are all sitting in the limo they ordered on their way the fanciest restaurant in Denver. 

Eddie: Loren, you were amazing tonight.

Loren: Thank you, i was really nervous after the scene we made in the beginning.

Melissa: I am really sorry about that Lo, I was just trying to look out for you and Eddie

Loren: It's okay Melissa, i understand.

 Kelly: Loren, there is something we have to discuss before we hit the road next week.

Loren: Should i be worried.
