In this story Eddie ended up forgiving Chloe and they stayed together, but never married. He never knew about her cheating on him back then. Back when Loren worked at the café she met Tyler and ended up dating him. This story line will be how the relationships end badly and Eddie and Loren find love again. This time with each other. First part is kind of a prolog and then it is chapter one.

It has been three in a half years since Loren won the contest.

Kelly and Jake are together and got married last year. They are trying to have a baby now.

Adam ended up transferring to NYU ending his and Mel's relationship. The two remain friends though.

Mel and Ian started dating shortly after the break up and have been together for almost a year now.

Nora and Max end up dating still and are now engaged and about to get married in a week.

Eddie forgives Chloe and continues to date her while mentoring Loren.

Loren meets Tyler at the café and they hit it off and start dating.

Eddie finds out and freaks out on Loren for dating him. They get into a fight, which ends their friendship.

Almost three years later photos leak of Chloe and Tyler making out in a hotel in Palm Springs. That day Loren goes to Tyler's place and walks in on Chloe and Tyler in bed.

After horrible break ups on both ends Chloe and Tyler run off to New York together.

It has been six months since the break up. Eddie has moved on and made peace with it. Loren on the other hand is holding on to the pain and has been pushing people away. Eddie tried reaching out to Loren, but she shut him down each time.

Loren is just as big as Eddie now. Eddie is working on his fifth album and Loren is working on her third.

It was the night of Nora and Max's engagement party. In a week they would be getting married at the Bungalow. Everyone was at MK to celebrate.

Loren was leaning against the bar as everyone made speeches. She even made a quick coagulations speech of her own. Right now talking about love just wasn't in her. Now it was Eddie's turn.

"I have gotten a front row seat watching my father fall in love with Nora. I watched a spark in his eye come back to life as they got to know one another. I see how happy they make each other." Loren rolled her eyes. After everything that has happened to them how can he be so chipper about love. "To Nora and Max." Eddie raised his glass as he finished.

"To Nora and Max." Everyone repeated as they took a drink.

As the night went on Loren stayed close to the bar and watched her family and friends dance, laugh and have fun. Loren was happy to be a wallflower for the night. She wasn't in much of a celebrating mood, but she would put a fake smile on for her mother's sake. After a while Eddie made his way over to her. She took a deep breath and braced herself. She was hoping to avoid him.

"Well if it isn't Loren Tate." Eddie was grinning from ear to ear and Loren nodded to acknowledge him. "Hello Eddie." She forced a small smile.

"You're looking beautiful as always." She rolled her eyes. "Thanks."

"You didn't seem too impressed with my toast." Eddie smirked. "Excuse me?" She looked at him perplexed. "My toast? You had a cold look the entire time and I'm pretty sure you rolled your evens at one point."

She rolled her eyes. "It was a lovely toast Eddie." The disdain dripped from her voice. Eddie's eyebrow arched. "Sarcastic much."

"Only for you." She turned around facing the bar. "Another vodka tonic please." Grace had it in front of her in matter of seconds. "Thank you so Grace. You look fabulous tonight by the way." Eddie watched her be kind to Grace and was a little surprised. "Thank you sweetie."

Loren turned back around noticed Eddie was watching her intently. "What?"

"You're nice to her, but not me?" Loren smiled a wicked grin. "I like her."

Eddie clapped his hands over his chest with a sad look on his face. "Ouch your words hurt me deeply." Loren scoffed and took a drink. "Something tells me you'll survive."

He knew he wasn't on good terms with Loren, but damn he was trying and she just kept shutting him down. He wanted to make things right. They were friends at one time and in a week they'll be family.

He scratched the back of his head. "I've tried calling you. I even left a few messages." Loren noted the serious tone in his voice. "Yeah I've been busy."

Eddie sighed. "I just wanted to see how you were doing." Loren sneered. Was he for real? Did he truly think what happen to them made them friends again? "I'm fine."

He reached for her hand. "Loren I know what happen-" Loren yanked her hand away cutting him off. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Loren-" She put her hand up in the air signaling him to stop. "Eddie don't."

She was about to walk away, but Max approached the two with a big smile on his face.

"There you two are. I've been looking for both of you everywhere." Eddie smiled. "Hey Pops." Loren cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. "Hi Max. Why were you looking for us?"

"I wanted to ask my two favorite rockstars a favor." He had mischievous grin on. "Anything Pops, what do you need?"

"Nora has left me in charge of picking the first song we dance to as husband and wife." Loren looked at him slightly confused. "You want us to help you pick the song?" Max chuckled a little. "Close—I want you two to write the song."

"Max you are getting married at the end of the week." He had to be kidding she thought. "Yeah, Pops why didn't you ask us to do this sooner?"

"I have been racking my brain for months about what song to choose. I thought about writing a song, but I can't really perform it while we are dancing. Finally the other day I thought, why pick a song when I can have our children who just happen to be fabulous song writers." His smile grew.

"I don't know Max-" Loren was unsure about having to work with Eddie.

"Jake and Kelly gave you both the rest of the week off for the wedding, so time isn't an issue." Eddie sighed. "Yeah, but Pops-" Max waved his hands in the air. "Plus what an amazing gift that would be for her. Our kids writing a love song for our first dance. Imagine how much that would mean to her."

Loren couldn't help, but to laugh. "Mom has taught you well. That is a great guilt trip."

"So, does that mean you'll do it?" He asked with pleading eyes.

Eddie sighed in defeat. "I'm in." Loren bit her lip. She wasn't really wanting to work with Eddie on a song again. Especially a love song. The two Duran men looked at Loren with those big brown eyes. How could she say no to that? "Fine, we'll do it."

He brought them both into a hug. "You two are the best. Thank you so much." Suddenly a slow song started to play. Max smiled. "That's my queue to go find Nora."

The two watched as their parents made their way to the dance floor. They looked so happy and in love. Loren envied that. Eddie looked at Loren. She was humming along to the song and had a small smile.

Eddie steeped in front of her and offered his hand. "Come on." Loren looked at him bewildered. "What?"

Eddie smirked. "Dance with me." Loren shook her head. "I'm good here." He wasn't taking no for an answer. "It's just one dance—please." Loren crossed her arms over her chest. "Thanks, but I think I'll sit this one out."

"You know as the best man and maid of honor it is required we dance at least once at every wedding related event." Loren laughed bitterly and rolled her eyes. "Says who?"

"It's the rule." Loren laughed—this time for real. She shook her head. "You are relentless, you know that?" Eddie shrugged his shoulders and gave her his infamous half grin. "Part of my charm."

"Whatever." Eddie grabbed her hand and pulling her closer to him. "Come on, the song is half over it won't even be a full dance-please."

She sighed in defeat. "Fine." Her tone was slightly harsh. Eddie pulled her to the dance floor. "Don't get too excited now it's just a dance."

Loren put her hands on his shoulders. Keeping him an arm's length apart. He thought she was being ridiculous. After a few moments Eddie pulled her closer to him. Her arms ended wrapping around his neck and they were so close a gust of wind couldn't go through them. Her whole body tensed. She tried to pull away, but Eddie held on tight.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." He whispered in her ear, causing her whole body to shiver.

Loren slowly relaxed into his arms. As they swayed back and forth the two locked eyes and neither could look away. Loren could see the hope in his eyes. He looked so innocent that way. Eddie on the other hand saw hurt and fear as her starred into Loren's hazel eyes. He wanted nothing more than to make the pain go away for her.

"Thanks for the dance." She mumbled as the music came to an end.

"The pleasure was all mine." His eyes never left her. For a moment it was as if he was looking at the old Loren. She pulled away and this time Eddie let her. "Bye Eddie."

Eddie pulled her back. "Wait." Loren looked at him a little surprised. "What?"

"The song?" It took her a moment before he realized what he was saying. "Oh yeah. When do you want to work on it?"

"Everyone is leaving tomorrow for the Bungalow, but I'm not leaving until Monday." Loren nodded. "Me neither."

"How about you come by my place around six." Loren went pale as his words hit her. She hadn't been to his place since they had their fight. "Your place?"

"Yeah, you remember where it's at, or do you need directions?" Loren scoffed and glared at him. "You live like three blocks from me, I think I can handle finding it." Eddie put his hand in the air as if he was surrendering. "It was just a question Loren. No need to be so rude."

Loren rolled her eyes and started to walk away. "Whatever Eddie." Eddie grabbed her hand yanking her back to him again. "You never use to be the cold Loren. What happen to you?"

"I walked in on my boyfriend fucking your girlfriend." Loren sneered as she got out of his grasp.

Instantly Eddie felt horrible. "Loren-" Loren shook her head stopping him. "I'll see you tomorrow Eddie."

Eddie watched as Loren walked out of MK. The look in Loren's eyes seared in his brain. How was he going to fix things between them?

So, I've had this idea for a storyline in my head for a long time now. Ever since the flash fiction challenge was wham bam, thank you mam. It'll will be a short story. Probably only fifteen-twenty chapters at the most.

I WILL CONTINUE MY FIRST STORY. I promise you I will. I am already working on the next chapter. This story has just been in my head for awhile. I have most of this story line written out in my notebook. So it won't take me forever to update. (In theory that is)

Like in my other story I will go into more detail about the past as the story goes on.

Please tell me what you think. Should I continue? Read and Review!
