Hollywood Heights

Chapter 44

For Loren the week seamed to fly by so fast she could barely keep up. Eddie on the other hand felt as if this was one of the longest weeks in his life. He could not wait for Friday to come and it felt to him as if Friday would never happen. But it did. Finally the week was coming to an end and Eddie was really excited and nervous at the same time. He showered and re-showered so many times he thought his skin would never recover.

He felt like a girl as he tried on every article of clothing he owned. He wanted this night to be perfect for Loren. Eddie was ready to scoop her up in his arms take her down to city hall and marry her on the spot but he knew Loren wasn't there anymore. But now that he was actually going out on a date with her for the first time since his life fell apart he realized just how much he really missed and needed her. Though all this time the feeling was there but in order to keep himself afloat he kind of ignored the piece of his life that was obviously lacking. Now that it was so close to him it was hard for him to keep his feelings in check. He knew that if he wanted to get Loren back all to himself he would just have to follow her lead and that was exactly what he promised himself he would do as he checked himself out one last time in the mirror and closed the door to the loft behind him, ready to open up an old chapter of his life.

Melissa knocked on Loren's bathroom door.

Melissa: Lo, its been almost two hours since you went in to take a shower, is everything alright in there we are all starting to get really nervous.

Loren opens the door to the bathroom and she is wearing a bathrobe her hair is pinned up in a large clip.

Loren: I can't do this, i can't go out with him, what in the world was i thinking.

Nora: Lo, you were thinking about yourself, the girls and the life you once had with Eddie, yes he hurt you but the time has come for you to move on and forgive him. If you want we are here to help you get ready but you are going on that date tonight weather you like it or not.

Loren: You will not get me to go out with him.

Nora: If i have to i will put you in his car myself, then you will really have what to be embarrassed about. He is your girls father and he deserves to know them. We all stood behind you when you wanted him out of your life but as his family we are now standing behind him when he wants us back in his life.

Loren: You and Max cut him out of your life as well, it wasn't only me.

Nora: You're right Loren, we did what we thought was right in the moment, and we are now doing what we know is right, i'm sorry if you don't like it but as a mother yourself i am sure you understand where i am coming from.

Loren: No one is giving me a choice then huh?

Melissa: Nope even Max is on board.

Loren: How did that happen?

Melissa: I have to give your mom all the credit for that. 

Nora: Max and I had a really long talk about this and we both agree that what happened between you and Eddie happened but it is time to put all of that behind us. Max agreed to give you the head start but after your date with Eddie tonight Max would like to have Eddie back in his life. 

Loren: How did something so good turn into this huge mess?

Nora: You let it spiral out of control.

Loren: I know it's mostly my fault but you helped me keep it this way.

Nora: That's true, instead of trying to blame someone for this mess you might want to get ready for this date of yours as Eddie will be picking you up in 45 minutes.
