Hollywood Heights

Chapter 42

Loren stood there staring at her phone at burst into tears. Eddie unsure of what Loren wanted he decided to do what he knew best and walked over to her, wrapped his arms around and let her cry in his arms. After five minutes Eddie pulled away.

Eddie: Loren can i drive you home?

Loren: Whatever

Eddie helped Loren into his car.

Eddie: Loren where do you live now?

Loren: At my mom's place in the valley.

Eddie drove as fast as he could, but the ten minute drive felt like an eternity for Loren. Eddie was still confused as to his role in all of this but he figured he would just let Loren run the show for now after all they didn't know what the emergency was. When Eddie pulled up in front of the house there were cop cars, a fire engine and an ambulance. Loren ran out of Eddie's car as fast as her legs would carry. She ran down the driveway and straight into the house. Melissa was sitting on the living room couch with the twins.

Loren: Oh, Avery, Emma thank god you are both okay. Mel what's going on?

Melissa: Loren can i talk to you in the other room.

Loren: Sure, girls will you be okay here alone for a minute?

Loren and Melissa walk into the other as Eddie walked into the living room. He saw the girls and decided to take a few moments to get to know them. He didn't have a clue as to what they knew about him so he decided to play it cool.

Eddie: Hi, i'm Eddie i work with your mom, what are your names?

Avery: I'm Avery and this is my twin sister Emma.

Eddie: Nice to meet you both. 

Eddie continued talking to the girls while Melissa briefed Loren in on the current situation.

Melissa: Loren, i don't want you to panic but Max was in a car accident.

Loren: Oh my god, how is he, will he be okay?

Melissa: We don't know yet, the paramedics just took him to the hospital, your mom went with him.

Loren: How did it happen?

Melissa: Your dad was on his way back to the club when someone blew a red light and drove straight into him, the other driver was only slightly injured. Max's car was totaled so at first they thought there were no survivors, luckily his body had been thrown from the car and when the paramedics found him they were able to find a pulse so he is alive.

Loren: I can't believe this, my mom must be going crazy.

Melissa: Lo, you go to the hospital to be with your mom, i'll take care of the girls.

Loren: You would do that for me?

Melissa: Of course i would, you are my sister after all, now go your mom needs you.

Loren and Melissa come out of the room and they find the girls sitting on Eddie's lap while he read them a book.

Avery: Mom, Eddie told us you work with him

Emma: He is reading us a story.

Avery: Why did you never bring him here before, i like him.

Melissa: Loren, what the hell is going on?

Loren: Eddie is the new client i was telling you about, i only found out when i got back to work. I was talking over his case with him when you called, he drove me here.

Melissa: Did anything happen between you to?

Loren: Nope

Eddie: I wish.
