Helloo readers (: First off, I'd like to apologize for updating so slowly and moving the sequel to A Thing Called Love: A Channy Romance into a separate story, but here goes! This is the sequel ! I've been lacking the interest to finish the story even though I already have everything planned out-idea wise.
ANYWAYS, the summary:
Chad gets offered a big time movie deal that could just take his career to the next level. The only thing is, the movie would be filmed in Paris and he'll have to leave Sonny for at least a year. It's killing them both and things just keep getting worse and worse. Is love really that strong? And what happens when fate keeps pulling them apart? Will Sonny give up on Chad? Will Chad open his heart to someone else? What will happen? Will they realize that maybe they really aren't meant to be? Potential twist in plot.
(oh, and they're already together. read the first story first if you want)
And of course, the obvious disclaimer that sadly, I don't own anything. Except for the OCs.
A Thing Called Love: French Kiss
Chapter 1
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody ripped my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
Anything But Ordinary - Avril Lavigne
The cold wind whipped their faces as they entered the airport. Chad dragged his luggage lifelessly as he held on to Sonny's hand.
Wow. He was really leaving. Sonny couldn't quite believe, even after these past couple of days.
He sat down on a black bench with her in silence.
There were a few minutes left until he would have take flight.
She stifled her yawn. He wrapped an arm around her.
"You tired Sonshine?" he asked gently. It was 1:30 in the morning. She shrugged.
It seemed like all energy was drained out of her. Sonny rested her head on his shoulders and he was once again amazed as to how she always knew which spot of his shoulder to place her head. He couldn't help but inhale the fragrant fumes from her gorgeous, long hair. An unstoppable lump formed in his throat and he felt his stomach tightening. He couldn't believe how much he was going to miss her.
The announcement came on for his flight and Chad stood up hesitantly. He looked into her sad brown eyes and pulled her into a final embrace.
"Sonny I promise, I'll call you every day after I settle down. We'll make this work. I swear." he forced a smile and pressed his lips on her forehead, wondering how long it'll be until he could kiss her beautiful face again. She nodded, trying to reassure herself. Could they really make this work?
A final announcement came on and it was time for him to leave. She looked at him longingly. When will I ever see him again? Sigh. He walked away slowly but turned his head around to look at her one final time. She looked sad, even from a distance. Chad gave her his signature wink and finger pointing thingy. She couldn't help but smile and let a small chuckle escape her. At the blinking of her eyes, she felt the water soak up her cheeks. It made his heart melt. He sighed but decided to be strong and so he walked on.
She rushed over to the giant window and her fingers touched the cool, brisk glass, watching as his plane departed.
God damnit.
Chad walked aimlessly towards the first class area and stared blankly ahead of him. He felt an all to overwhelming urge to cry. Wasn't he supposed to happy? Excited? This was something completely unrelated to Condor Studios and Mack Falls.
But Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do waterworks.
"Chad!" an excited voice snapped him out back into reality. Chad jerked his head to see a cute girl smiling at him. Her pixie cut blond hair flared out at the ends but didn't really stand out next to her fair skin. She was very small and had dark green eyes. She was also wearing a tight blouse that drew attention to her big chest. But Chad dismissed her looks. Before he would've been attracted to a girl like her but now she just looked skanky.
"Is this seat taken?" she asked. Chad shook his head slowly. Who is this girl? It wasn't another one of his crazed fans was it? Oh god, I better call security. Been there done that... Chad shuddered as the previous encounter with a crazy fan flashed through his mind.
She took the seat and continued talking. "I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Ashley McPherson, I'm your personal assistant! And of course, YOU are the Chad Dylan freaking Cooper. Ohmygosh it is so great to meet you!"
He couldn't say the same for her.
"I LOVE Mack Falls, god you are like, the best actor of our generation!" she burst out in a high pitched laugh.
He nodded wordlessly, avoiding eye contact. Creepy.
"Sorry! Didn't mean to get all crazy fan girl on you!" she piped up. When he didn't reply, she pulled out a Tween Weekly magazine.
"Ooh! Look! You're on the cover!"
"Aren't I always?" Chad replied in annoyance. Personal assistant? More like obsessed fan girl. It was cute when Sonny was all peppy but this Ashley girl was just down right annoying.
The smile on Ashley's face vanished and she turned her attention to the magazine. Chad stuffed his earphones in and pressed play on his iPod.
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi
And I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry
About what they say
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cause the got nothing on you
Nothing on you, baby
God he was missing her already.
Sonny entered her shared dressing room the next day with a gloomy expresion on her face as her mind was consumed with thoughts of her and Chad. And Tawni was, as usual, admiring herself in the mirror. Tawni glanced at Sonny and turned back to the mirror. But she did a double take and gawked at her.
"What are you wearing!"
Sonny looked down at herself. She didn't think she looked that bad. In Wisconsin she wore old sweats and baggy t shirts all the time.
"Um...a t shirt and sweats?" she replied, unsure of herself.
"A t shirt and sweats? Are you out of your mind? This is Hollywood, not Wisconsin!" she exclaimed.
Huh. Sonny thought. Ironic.
"Sonny what happened to you? I mean, your clothes were never that great but come on. Just days ago you were wearing heels and a miniskirt. Honestly...this..." she looked at Sonny's outfit in disgust "…This is just wrong. On too many levels."
Sonny rolled her eyes and ignored Tawni's rude remarks. But she was tired and restless, she really didn't need this at 11:oo am in the morning. She settled down on the couch, trying to brainstorm some ideas for a new sketch.
"It's Chad, isn't it?" Tawni asked knowingly.
"What? What's Chad got to do with my outfit?"
"It's obvious isn't it?"
"What's obvious?"
"Sonny, if I'm right- and believe me, I am - you're just dropping all visible good taste since there's no guy here for you to impress anymore. Right?"
"Wrong."
"Right!"
"Wrong."
"Sonny there's nothing wrong with being in denial. Ok there sort of is, but the point is, it'd be nice if you could be in denial in style. No offense, but you look like a potatoe sack"
Maybe that's why no guy asked her out to dances back in Wisconsin. Huh. That just makes her feel so much better about herself.
"Sonny. Sonny Sonny Sonny let me give you a valuable Tawni Tip."
Sonny looked at her in disbelief.
"Tawni Tip number 48: Never makes somebody you're everything, 'cause when they're gone, you've got nothing." she emphasized nothing.
"Kinda too late for that isn't it?" Sonny mumbled. Tawni gasped.
"What?" Sonny asked. Tawni was gaping at her iphone screen.
"Sonny, Chad leaving LA to go film a movie is all over Sharona's blog! And do you know what she's saying about you?" Tawni continued without waiting for a response. "She's saying that Chad's using the movie as an excuse to get away from you. She says you're a 'clingy diva.' "Tawni used air quotations to emphasize her point.
"What? I'm not a clingy diva." This was such a great day. First she's told that she looks like a potato sack, then the internet's most well-known gossip blogger labels her as a "clingy diva" Great. So, so great.
"If you go out looking like that, she's gonna say you're an ugly one too." Tawni didn't like caring but she couldn't help it. It'd be embarrassing to hang out with Sonny if she wore that.
Sonny let out a sigh.
"Well I don't have anything to change into right now. So-"
"Let's give you a Tawni-over!"
"A Tawni-over?"
"A Tawni-over!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"What's a Tawni-over?"
"Well, it's like a makeover...only Tawni-style. It's alot more fun and really popular in Tawni Town."
Sonny looked at her skeptically- Tawni Town didn't even exist- but shrugged. It's not as if her brainstorming was getting anywhere.
"C'mon, let's take your mind off Chad for a while."
Sonny nodded. That was the best idea Tawni had this whole morning.
Alright, so what did you guys think? REVIEW! REVIEW! please, being the uncontrollably awesome people you are ;)
