Hollywood Heights

Chapter 36

Max pulled his car into the driveway, he turned the car off and both Max and Nora got out of the car. Max opened the trunk and they both grab the grocery bags. They then walk up the walkway towards the front door. Nora knocks on the door and then Max puts his key inside the keyhole and opens the door.

Nora: We're home.

Melissa: [Whispering] Loren and the babies are sleeping.

Nora: Great, they kept her up all night. Where's Ian?

Melissa: He is at some job now, he should be back later. You want help putting the groceries away?

Nora: That would be amazing. Thanks Melissa.

Max: So where's Loren?

Nora: She's sleeping.

Max: Poor girl, she never gets any sleep anymore she's so tired.

Nora: Mel and I were going to start preparing dinner, you want to help or just relax until dinner time?

Max: I think i will join Loren and take a little nap, those babies don't just keep her up at night.

Melissa: I think they have their days and nights mixed up.

Nora: They just run on baby time, don't worry they will grow out of it soon enough.

Max: I can't believe the babies are a month old already.

Nora: know they are so cute.

Melissa: They look just like Eddie

All of a sudden it got really quiet in the room.

Melissa: I am so sorry, i did not mean to bring it up.

Max: It's okay Mel.

Nora: I think we all know that the babies look like Eddie, but due to the painful circumstances no one ever said it out loud before.

Melissa: Max, i really don't want to bring up the topic, but does anyone know where Eddie is now? Did he ever come back to america?

Max: No, a month ago, on the day the twins were born i had Jake check the tracker and once again he was still in Casablanca, when Loren went into the hospital i tried calling him but it went straight to voicemail. I am so angry at him for doing this to Loren i never tried finding him since then. I still can't believe my son would do something like that. He just ditched her on the day of the wedding two months before they were to become parents. He never met his children.

Melissa: I'm sorry, i did not mean to bring it up. It's just that it is really hard for me to watch Loren every day. 

Max: What do you mean?

Melissa: Well she tries to put on a brave face, but she is really hurting. She says she never wants to see Eddie again, but i don't know how true that is. She really loved him, she was so excited to marry him until she found out she was pregnant. She was afraid that as soon as Eddie would find out he would leave her, she thinks he left because of the babies.

Nora: Is that why half the time she ignores them, because she blames the twins for Eddie leaving?

Melissa: Something like that. I can't really talk to her about it, it's not my place but i was thinking of maybe trying to track Eddie down.

Max: Melissa, i know you want to help, but don't you think that if Eddie wanted to be found he would be in touch with us. It has been three and half months since he was supposed to marry Loren if he wanted to be in touch he would have.

Melissa: Max, i know you're angry at him and i understand, i really don't want to go behind your back but would you mind if i would try to find Eddie, for Loren and the twins.
