Gone
PROLOGUE
"Get Ready Los Angeles, its going to be one dreary day." The weatherman said from the TV.
Dark gray clouds swirled overhead, sending raindrops flying down to the ground below. Rain slid down the window, occasionally getting stuck on other droplets.
I sighed, staring out the window and thinking about how perfectly the weather matched my mood. I sunk into the black leather jacket that he gave me before he left, and inhaled his lingering scent. Suddenly, Tawni walked into the dressing room, the door colliding with the wall with a loud bang!
I didn't glance in her direction. I could tell she was looking at me though. I heard Tawni sigh, "Sonny?" She asked tentatively.
I didn't respond. I didn't react. I didn't do anything.
Tawni walked over to me and laid a hand on my arm, shaking me slightly, "Sonny, look at me." I sighed and dragged my eyes from the window to Tawni. Her face was knitted tightly in concern, and her blue eyes were filled with sadness. "You're starting to scare me, Sonny," Tawni said, "I never really noticed how much he meant to you. It's been a week."
Oh, god.
Just Tawni's words made the pain come back more. I squeezed my eyes shut, and tried to stop the tears. Too late. A lone tear began to make its way down my cheek. I drew in a ragged breath. It's only been a week, though it seems like so much more.
~Flashback~
"Wait, so you're okay with it?" Chad asked, looking somewhat surprised.
"Oh, yeah, sure." I lied through my teeth, "Chad, if you really want to do this movie, then go do it. Besides, it's not like I could stop you anyway."
Chad stared at me for a moment, as if trying to decipher if I was telling the truth, then sighed. "Yeah, I guess."
We were silent for a moment, then Chad surprised me by stepping forward and wrapping his arms around me in a hug, "I'll miss you, Sonny."
I gripped Chad's shoulders tight and buried my head in his shoulder. I felt Chad stroking my hair softly."Me too, Chad," I whispered into his ear as we held each other, "me too." I begged myself not to cry, and to stay strong. We stayed in our embrace for a long time. Too soon, though, Chad pulled back. I could have sworn that his eyes looked red.
"Here," Chad said, sliding his black leather jacket off of his body in one swift motion, "You can keep it." Without thinking, I quickly slid it on. Chad smiled, "It looks better on you, anyway."
I looked at Chad and wrapped my arms around my body, trying to remember everything about him. "Bye, Sonny," Chad said, giving me a sad smile.
"Bye Chad, see you in a year," I whispered, watching as he turned around and walked out of the prop house, leaving my heart in ruins.
~FLASHBACK OVER~
Tawni wrapped her arms around me comfortingly, "Oh, Sonny," She whispered, "It's okay to cry." And that I did. I sobbed into Tawni, while she murmured soothing words of encouragement. It felt so good to cry, to actually let it out. "Why didn't I do something, Tawni?" I cried, holding on to her as if my life depended on it, "Why didn't I stop him?"
"Shh," Tawni said, "Shh…"
I cried for a while after that, and even though I had Tawni, I had never felt more alone.
Nine Months Later
Portlyn POV
I munched on my steak half-heartedly, my eyes focusing on the brown haired girl that walked into the cafeteria. I sighed and set down my fork. When Chad left it did nothing but destroy that poor girl. I felt so bad that Sonny has to suffer like she does.
"Look how skinny she is," I whispered sadly to Devon. Devon looked up, "Who, Sonny?" He glanced at Sonny, "Oh, yeah."
I rolled my eyes, guys are retards. Just like every other day, Sonny didn't even bother going to get food. She just sat at the table looking like a ghost while the other Random's ate and talked. She never ate anymore. It was getting really scary. Sonny was getting alarmingly thin, and her face no longer brightened the room like usual. She lost her shine, and I knew the reason. All Sonny did was sit in the stupid jacket that Chad gave her and stare into space.
It was actually really heart-breaking.
BZZT, BZZT
I glanced down and saw that my phone was vibrating. I looked at the caller ID and nearly choked. Quickly pressing 'Answer', I brought the phone up to my ear, "CHAD?!?" Crap. Looking around, I realized everyone heard that. Including Sonny. Her head jerked up and she was staring at me with those lifeless eyes. I quickly stood up and walked out of the cafeteria into the hallway.
"Hello? Portlyn?" I heard Chad's voice, it seemed so distant.
"Chad! Oh my gosh! You jerk! You don't call me in nine months!" I said, though I was overjoyed that he called.
I could hear his laugh from the other line, "Yeah, sorry it's so busy over here, with all the shooting and stuff."
I nodded, "I can imagine it would be."
Chad was silent, "So, how is everyone?"
I wanted to laugh at how stupid he was. I knew that 'everyone' meant Sonny.
"Well, since both you and I know that the only person you're interested in hearing about is Sonny, that's only who I'm going to tell you about."
Chad didn't say anything.
I continued, "And she's horrible."
"What?" I could hear Chad's surprise over the phone.
I shook my head sadly, "Chad, when you left it devastated her. It took Tawni a freaking month just to get her on So Random again. She hasn't been eating. All Sonny does it sit around in that jacket you gave her looking like a heartbroken puppy. Chad, she's broken."
Chad was silent, "…How?" I could hear the anguish in his voice, "How is that possible? S-she was fine with me leaving! She said so!"
I laughed darkly, "Chad, you're an idiot. Sonny's too kind to stop you from doing what you wanted. What was she supposed to say? 'Oh yeah, sure, go fly to Egypt for the next year so you can film a movie,'? Yeah, I don't think so."
Chad sighed angrily, "How could I have done this? Portlyn I'm such an idiot!"
I sighed with him, "I don't know Chad. How have you been, though? Do you miss her?"
I could hear Chad breathing heavily on the other line, as if he was choosing his words carefully. Finally, he answered, "More than you would believe. It was so painful the day I left. I guess its easier for me though, because I have something to keep me occupied. Did you know that I have a calendar on my phone that's counting down the days till I get to see her again?"
I shook my head, this boy was crazy for her. "It seems like you got the better end of the stick, then," I said, "Because like I said before, Chad, it makes me want to cry just looking at her."
"I miss her so much," Chad said softly, his voice cracking.
Oh good grief. I can't deal with this.
"How about you call her then?" I suggested, "Might as well."
"No," Chad said, "I don't want her to go through everything that she's gone through again if I call her. I'm just going to have to wait till I'm done filming."
I sighed, "Okay. Listen, Chad, it was awesome talking to you, but I have to go. If you need to talk though, don't hesitate to call."
"Okay, bye Portlyn. And if anything gets worse with Sonny, please tell me."
"Bye, Chad." I heard the click as the phone hung up. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket. Guys were idiots when it came to girls.
Okay, what did you think? Is it a lost cause? Should I go on? Just review and tell me what to do!!
Thanks!
