It all started with a dream.
I was running in an empty field. Chad was in front of me, running too. I kept on calling out his name, but the more I spoke the faster he ran. I stopped and looked down, panting hard. I had it, "Why are you running away from me, Chad?" I put my gaze forward looking out into the distance; Chad was no where in sight.
"Chad!" I screamed frantically.
Tears began falling down my face. "I thought you loved me!" I whispered.
Sonny Munroe awoke with a start. Sweat was poring down her face. She looked around, and sighed. She had fallen asleep - yet again - on the set. She only hoped no one had heard her frantically calling out Chad Dillon Cooper's name. There were already enough rumors that her and Chad had been secretly dating; which they both had denied profusely.
And it was true. Sonny and Chad had most definitely not been dating. Chad would never associate himself with a 'Random', anyways. At least he would never admit it. But the nightmare had been a recurring nightmare, and Sonny always questioned what it meant. She had no desire to ever be with Chad, but whenever she saw him running away from her, all she wanted to do was chase him and bring him back.
"Sonny! Hey, Sonny!" said Nico. He knocked onto the side of her head, "Anybody in there...?"
She pulled away, "Ugh, Nico... what do you want?"
He looked at her like she was stupid. "Uh, hello! We have to be on set in like five minutes! And what've you been doing this whole time, huh... sleeping haven't you? You lazy arse!"
She sighed. "So-rry!"
"Well let's go!" he said.
"Coming, coming." she replied. She stood up, and stretched out her arms. They continued walked down the hall to the set that they were supposed to be at the moment. Nico turned to her. "By the way... what's this about Chad?"
She looked back at him, fear rose in the pit of her stomach. "What? What're you talking about?" Her voice seemed to have gotten a few octaves higher.
Nico shook his head. "Nothing. Never mind. Oh by the way, some dude named Travis is looking for you."
Sonny forced a sigh, and rolled her eyes. "Oh gosh, why can't he just take no for an answer."
Suddenly, a man, resembling Chad Dillon Cooper so much you might confuse the two, appeared. He grinned, and put an arm around her. "Hey Sonny, babe."
Now Sonny was usually a very patient and kind person, but Travis really just ** her off. "I'm only gonna tell you this once..." she snapped. "GET THE HELL OFF THE SET BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!"
Travis chuckled. "Wow, Sonny. I knew you had a temper but this is the first time I've seen you so mad."
"Look here... 'Travis'," Nico said angrily "I'm going to give to the count of ten to your ugly-** self off the set."
He held his hands up. "Fine! But I have one thing I want to ask you..."
Bbbrrriinnngg. The set bell ringing brought everyone back to their senses. Saved by the bell. Literally. Sonny thought. "Well it was nice chatting with you Travis, but we really have to be going now." Sonny grabbed Nico's hand, and together they ran off.
"Ha ha, that sucker. I bet I know what he was thinking just now." Nico laughed.
"I know!" she replied with a smirk, imagining the look on his face. "But... we're just friends... right?"
Nico stopped, and looked at her. This was the perfect time to tell her. "Um..." he started. He just couldn't get the words out. Sonny looked into his eyes, was she really seeing what she thought she was seeing.
He took in a deep breath. "No Sonny."
She frowned.
"We're not just friends." he said. "I think I... I love you, Sonny."
