Hollywood Heights

Chapter 38

It took Eddie four months but he finally had a location for his father and Loren. Eddie got in his car and drove up north towards Oxnard. Eddie pulled up in front of the most gorgeous beach house he had ever seen as was really frustrated by sight in front of him. There was a moving truck in front of the house and movers were coming in and out of the house. Eddie knew he had the right place and he recognized both his father and Nora's furniture, he just hoped he wasn't too late.

Eddie: Excuse me, but are the owners of this house still here?

Marvin: And who are you exactly?

Eddie: Eddie Duran, these are my dad's things.

Marvin: Yeah, their inside.

Eddie: Thank you.

Eddie is about to go inside when Melissa comes out.

Melissa: What the hell are you doing here?

Eddie: I came to see my dad, Loren, the babies.

Melissa: Now you come back, now? It is 9 months since you were supposed to marry Loren and now you show up.

Eddie: Melissa please i can explain what happened if only someone would listen, i need to see my dad.

Melissa: He doesn't want to see you and Loren wants to see you less than he does.

Eddie: That is not true, my dad may be angry but he is still my father.

Melissa: Eddie you disappointed everyone including your father, now can you please leave before your dad or Loren sees you.

Eddie: I am not leaving until i see them. I spent the last four months trying to track you down. please you can't send me away empty handed just give me a chance, let me explain. I never wanted to hurt Loren. I love her, please just let me talk to her.

Max: Melissa, what's with all the... Eddie, what the hell are you doing here?

Eddie ran over to his father and gave him a huge hug.

Eddie: Pops!

Max pushes Eddie away.

Max: Eddie, get the hell out of here. Now

Eddie: Dad, you don't mean that

Max: I do, look we are really busy now, i can't deal with this now.

Eddie: Can i at least see Loren, the babies

Max: No! you can't

Eddie: But they are my children.

Max: You lost the right to call them your children when you decided not to show up in Paris.

Eddie: Can i at least know their names, what gender, who they look like, dad i understand you are upset and angry, and i can't blame you but please can i at least explain what happened, can i at least try to change your mind?

Max: You had nine months to apologize but didn't i'm sorry son, but daughter and grandchildren need me i have to go.

Max turns around and walks away leaving Eddie crying on the sidewalk. 

Eddie: Dad, please, dad you can't do this to me, dad please just hear me out.

Max walks inside to where Nora and Melissa were doing the last minute packing while Loren was getting the babies ready.

Nora: Max what's wrong you look like you just saw a ghost

Max: Melissa didn't tell you?

Nora: Tell me what?
