Reasons
(SPOV) Sonny
I was driving home from the studio, in the pitch black streets of Hollywood. No one was out because it was near midnight, and rehearsal ended really late.
Today was a long day. I hung out with the cast in the prop house, Tawni insulted my clothing choice several times, Chad came over to the set, and of course, we argued. And the whole day I was miserable, and angry, about something that happened this morning, that was filling me with guilt as I drove down the dark road to my house.
This morning, I was eating my breakfast as my parent came down the stairs slowly, trudging. When they finally reached the table, they automatically looked at me.
"SonShine?" My father asked, in the nickname that only he could call me. But something was wrong, there was an off tone in his voice.
"Yes dad?" I replied, unsure, and frightened of what he would say, by the look of his expression, it wasn't to be good.
"Have you noticed your mother and I not getting along lately? He questioned, quietly, and softly. I had an idea of where this was going.
"Well, yeah, but I know you guys will work it out!" I said confidently, hoping it would be enough to save their marriage.
"Honey, I'm sorry. But the only way to work this out…Is getting a divorce." My mother said sincerely. I didn't want to hear it.
"What!?!? No…No…!" I screamed, tears were jerking down my face.
"Sonny, we're sorry!" My dad yelled.
"No! You know what?! I hate you guys! I thought you loved each other! I thought I had a perfect family! But, I was wrong!" I screamed as I grabbed my keys and ran out to my car.
I felt horrid, I never meant to tell them I hate them…It just hit me hard when I heard they were disowning their love for each other…I always wished that I would find the perfect one someday, just like my parents…And now, the dream is lost.
I pulled up to my driveway and walked up the creaky, wooden steps to my porch. I opened the door, planning to apologize for my behavior from this morning but found my parents tied up, my scarves wrapped around their neck, covering up to their mouths, so they were unable to talk. Next to them was a man, dressed completely in black, with a ski mask on.
I stood there, frozen in shock.
"Hello. Sonny." The man said darkly. His voice was deep and cold.
"Who are you?" I whimpered.
"Oh, that's not important…" His said again, just as darkly.
"What do you what!?! Why do you have my parents!?!" I asked franticly. He only laughed.
"Well, SonShine…" He started. He did not just use my father's nickname for me.
"Don't call me that!" I interrupted.
"Sonny! I wouldn't be so rude…You don't want to lose your parents do you?" He asked with fake. I shook my head and he pulled out a gun.
"I simply came here to snatch you…I had plans Alison, but your parents got in the way…So I tied them up! But, If you don't come with me…I'll simply kill them! And you won't be off the hook…I will find you either way…" He said with no emotion…It was frightening, and so was the fact that this man was here to most-likely rape me, and/or kill my parents.
I looked in their direction and back at the masked man. It was time to make a decision.
But, out of no where, my mother rips the scarf from her mouth and my father does the same.
"Sonny! Run! We'll be fine!" They yelled. But they wouldn't if I chose run. I nodded slightly. Tears were streaking down my cheek worse than they were this morning.
"I love you!" I screamed as I bolted out the door and kept on running. After a few minutes I fell to the ground, crying worse then ever as I heard two loud gunshots. They were gone…
I quickly grabbed out my cell phone as I hid behind a tree. I dialed 911 quickly.
"Hello? This is Hollywood police department. Your call is being recorded." The feminine voice stated.
"M..y Pa..parents were…Shot!" I said through my tears.
"What happened?" She said softly, and truly sincerely.
I explained quickly what happened, and they ordered me to stay where I was, just incase the man was still there. I gave them my address and hung up. They promised to call me back when everything was safe.
I sat down, laid against a tree crying my eyes out, hating myself for leaving them…
"Sonny Monroe! Our sources have told us your parents have just passed…Would like to comment?" Santiago Haraldo's annoying voice yelled as he jumped from behind a bush. Where the hell did he hear that from? It happened freaking five minutes ago!
"No! Do you really think I want to comment on the death of my parents?!? Get a life." I yelled as I walked away from a shocked Tween Weekly host.
"Sonny Monroe back to her true diva ways once again?" He asked to the camera. I don't even care that I exploded on television! What kind of a low, selfish, make-a-story-of-anything loser would ask about the murder of your parents for a damn T.V Show!?!
Just then my phone rang. It was the police. I quickly answered it.
"Yes?" I asked quietly, anxious for what he was about to say.
"We have some bad news…Your parents have been shot to death and the criminal is no where in site. We'll keep looking for him, but you'll need to be careful…Your parent's blood is smeared all over the wall spelling 'I'll be back for you SonShine'" the officer explained.
"Oh.." I said, once again through my tears…We hung up quickly after.
I needed a place to stay. I wasn't going to go stay at my house…Not after what happened. I grabbed my cell phone and called the closest friend I had in Hollywood.
"Hello?" An irritated Tawni asked.
"Tawn…" I said quietly, since tears were still running down.
"Sonny? What's wrong??" She asked, extremely scared.
I explained my situation to her quickly, trying to stop crying…What's done is done.
"Sonny, you're more than welcome to stay here tonight. My parents would be more than happy to help you!" Tawni said softly.
"Thanks…" I said blandly. We hung up quickly after.
A few minutes later, a pink convertible drove up to my lonely tree. And I hopped in. It was a silent drive, as the tears were drying on my cheek. After a minute, Tawni stopped the car and hugged me. That's a first.
"I am sorry." She said quietly, looking down.
"Tawni…Its okay…It wasn't your fault! You're the one who helped me!" I said sympathetically.
She nodded and kept driving. When we got to her house, it was huge! I had no idea Tawni owned such a large mansion…But I could've guessed. Her parents were on the porch, their faces filled with sorrow.
"Sonny…I am so sorry for what happened to you tonight. You are welcome here any time." Her mother said softly. Her mother was a beautiful woman, which is expected from the mom of Tawni Hart…But what wasn't expected is that she was so sweet.
"Thank you." I said looking down. My parents never met Tawni's parents…But I bet they would like them.
It kinda went into an awkward silence until Tawni blurted out "I'm tired! Let's go to bed!" And I nodded quickly.
That night, Tawni fell asleep quickly, while I watched T.V. on Tawni's flat screen. I stopped after a while because it was all about me. My exploding to Santiago, My parents death, everything… And it had to stop, so I soon drifted off to bed…
I woke up the next morning, trying to recall my dream. It seemed to be flashes of memories that were shared with my parents and me. It began to hurt to think about them so I got dressed and went down the elevator to the kitchen. I sat down at the table, finding a very bright pair of parents…That weren't mine.
"Good morning Sonny!" Tawni's mother said brightly. She had a lovely smile.
"Good morning Mrs. Hart. Thank you again for letting me stay the night." I said shyly.
"Well Sonny, we're glad we could help you…and if you wanted…You could live with us…We would treat you as our own child…And we wouldn't let anything happen to you" Mr. Hart said as he cut in. It was an amazing offer.
"Wow…Thank you! This is probably best since all my other relatives live in Wisconsin!" I said smiling for the first time since yesterday. They hugged me swiftly, but softly. Wow, they're all huggers! Just then Tawni came down the elevator in jeans, a plain blue tee shirt, and flip flops. Not one item on her body designer. She came running in giving her parents both a kiss on the cheek and sat down next to me.
"Hey Sonny, feeling better?" She asked as she threw an arm around me.
"Yeah…I am!" I said with actual emotion. Tawni was about to say something, but was cut off by her dad.
"TawniBear…" He started. Huh. Who would of thought Tawni would have a cute nickname by her…um, dad… like I used to.
"Yes daddy?" She asked sweetly. More Tawni sweetness?!? Was I still dreaming?
"Sonny…Is going to live with us, almost like we're…Adopting her?" He said trying to word it right.
"So…We're going to be like sisters?" Tawni asked excitedly. They both nodded and I got pulled into a group hug. Okay…Way to much enthusiasm in this family, especially since a girls parents DIED last night. Then a thought hit me. Tawni wanted me as a sister! I smiled and put some effort into the hug. Then Tawni pulled away.
"Oh and you'll need to know something…Chad Dylan Cooper lives next door…" She said angered. My face fell.
"Oh great…" I muttered. Tawni nodded in agreement.
Just then, we heard a lawn mower blow out, and someone yelling. We all ran to the window…And speak of the devil, Chad was screaming at his gardener for breaking his solid gold lawn mower…Are you kidding me?!? Who has a solid gold lawn mower?!?
This was going to be fun…
