Lucky Love (HH FF)

Chapter 30- Muhullan

Eddie has been there for 2 hours already. He was lost in his thoughts. His phone turned off, and turned off from the world. He had just been sitting there. But most of his thoughts weren't about his newly born child. They were about Loren. He felt horrible. He should have been thinking about Katy more. But he just was so distracted with everything, his mind immediately went to Loren. Loren! He had left her there alone at the house! He felt so bad. As he was rushing to his car to open the door, he saw a car pull up right beside his. He could spot this car from a mile away. It was Loren's. She got out of the car and started walking over to Eddie with a disappointed look on her face, and past tears running down her face. Eddie couldn't hold back. He ran up to Loren and just hugged her. He stood there hugging her, not saying a word. He started to cry. Tears running down his face while hugging Loren. Loren finally returned the hug and wrapped her arms tightly around him. He knew, she thought. She felt horrible. He found out. Loren pulled away from the hug and looked Eddie straight in the eye.

Loren: Eddie?

Eddie: *trying to hold back his tears while wiping them away* Loren, before you say anything--

Loren: *quietly* I know about the baby

Eddie: I don't want you to be mad or anything. I didn't know--

Loren: Eddie, I now about the baby

Eddie: If she would've told me, I would've cared for that child every step of the way--

Loren: Eddie!

Eddie: What?

Loren: I know that Chloe's baby is yours.

Eddie: What? You do? How?

Loren: I went to Chloe's and asked her. I needed to know. I know that you told me it wasn't yours and I trusted you, and I still do. I just didn't think that Chloe would ever tell you the truth. No matter how much it would affect her having you in your life. I just knew that with all of the news on that it was just too good to be true that you were the father

Eddie: Loren, I am so sorry. I swear that she never told me. I never knew.

Loren: I know. She told me that you didn't know about the baby

Eddie: *sighs* But your still mad

Loren: I don't know. I don't know if I'm mad or not. All I know is that I'm not ready to be a step mom. *she starts to cry* I'm 18 Eddie.

Eddie: *tearing up and voice shaking* What are you saying

Loren: Eddie, I love you. I love you with all of my heart. But, I need to start making decisions for myself. I need to start making decisions for my life. I've already talked to my mom about it, I've talked to Max, and, obviously I talked to Melissa. They all think that it's the right thing to do given the circumstance.

Eddie: *crying* Loren, what are you talking about?

Loren: I think we should take a break. I think that we shouldn't be together right now. We need to figure things out. Your child, my career, whether I'm going to college or not, or if we're even meant to be together

Eddie: But we are meant to be. You said it yourself

Loren: I know what I said Eddie. Trust me, I know. This isn't easy for me to do--

Eddie: Then why are you doing it?

Loren: Because we need it. We need time from each other. Separation. Just, something other then being with each other.

Eddie: But I love you! You can't leave, I just got you back!

Loren: I can't be a step mom at 18 years old Eddie! I don't know what else you want me to do! You made that decision when you slept with Chloe and got her pregnant

Eddie: Again, I didn't know she was pregnant with my baby. Let alone pregnant

Loren: It doesn't matter at this point. You have a daughter who needs you way more then I do. She needs her dad. She needs the only guy role model she'll have in her life

Eddie: But I love you Loren! I need you in my life! What more can I say to make you stay?

Loren: There's nothing else you can say

Loren walks away wiping her tears away, as more just keep pouring down her face. Eddie buries his head in his hands and can't stop crying. He let the one person he loves more then anything else in his life go....... again
