Hollywood Heights

Chapter 37

Eddie was in his penthouse pacing back and forth. He really wanted to know what his father had told Joe. Eddie was desperate to see Loren and his children. Two days after he made the initial phone call, Joe called him back.

Eddie: Joe, thank you for calling me back

Joe: Any time Mr. Duran.

Eddie: So what did my dad say?

Joe: You dad told me that he spoke to Loren who doesn't want to talk or see you ever again so for now he won't be calling you. He told me that if anything changes though he will let me know.

Eddie: I can't believe this, they seriously won't talk to me?

Joe: I'm sorry man, i can only imagine how hard this must be for you but there is not much more i can do to help you. I spoke to your dad and this was his decision.

Eddie: Can you make him change his mind?

Joe: Eddie, you know i can't do that. Your dad is a very stubborn man.

Eddie: I know, i'm sorry, i just never thought my dad wouldn't want to talk to me. As much as it hurts to admit i expected this from Loren, but not from my dad. He is my father.

Joe: Look at it from his perspective, his son hurt his daughter, she is no longer just some girl who was supposed to be his daughter in law she is his wife's daughter. 

Eddie: I know, i just want to see them again.

Joe: I'm sorry Eddie, but at this point I've done all i can to help you.

Eddie: Thanks Joe, i really appreciate all of you're help. 

When Eddie hung up the phone he was really angry. Why did all of this have to happen. He wished that he could turn the clock back to the day before the wedding, the day they were all supposed to fly to Paris together. He wished that he had never gotten on that plane alone in the first place. Why did he listen to his father and Melissa in the first place. Eddie was so angry he threw his phone across the apartment, it landed in the toilet and in the heat of the moment Eddie flushed his phone down the toilet. 

Eddie sat down on the floor of the bathroom completely helpless. How did he let it get to this point, why didn't he try harder to get in touch with his family. No matter how many times he called and texted they just wouldn't pick up. An hour later Eddie got up off the floor and left his apartment to go buy himself a new phone. Eddie got to the phone store and walked in. There were 5 people in front of him in line so Eddie had to wait about an hour and a half before anyone helped him. 

Eric: Hi, how can i help you today?

Eddie: I lost my phone today, i would like to buy a new phone.

Eric: Sure, anything specific?

Eddie: What is the best phone you have?

Eric: Let me check.

Eric goes to the back of the store and ten minutes later he comes back to the front with a phone.

Eric: This is the best phone, with the best plan we have in the store.

Eddie: I would like to take it.

Eric: Okay, let me get it all set up. Would you like to put it back on your original plan or would you like the new plan that comes with the phone.

Eddie: I'll take the new plan.

Eric: Okay, but you would have to change your number, your old number is not available on the new plan.

Eddie: It's okay, everyone who knows my old number doesn't want to talk to me.
