Welcome! I'm very sorry for any mistakes, after I watched the SWAC ending about like 5 years ago I AM STILL CRYING I'M NOT EVEN PLAYING WITH YALL LIKE... IT HURTS
anyways most of this is gonna be flashbacks from the show and how it might've ended. WILL BE CHANNY, so yea-
"I got a recount." he joyfully exclaimed, eyes wide and filled with that dumb sparkle I hated so much.
"Recount?" I snapped, eyes glued to his. I lowered my eyebrows but he didn't back down from my gaze. His eyes remained happy.
"Yep! Now everything is normal." Chad exclaimed again, fiddling his thumbs together.
I stared at him in awe, disbelief, and disappointment. I could cry or scream, but I went with neither. I clenched my toes inside of my heels I wore from the awards and raised my voice.
"Everything's not okay. This 'normal', where you are always in the spotlight," I continued, seeing his eyes fade to be duller, and his posture slant. "I don't like that normal."
I held my tears in, my anger. No, I couldn't blow my top like that. At least, not again.
"I'm sorry, Sonny, I just really wanted this to work. I was just trying to―" His hand lifted mine up, but mine wasn't for his to lift. Not anymore.
I yanked away from his grasp and stepped back, my toes balancing on the memory foam of my black heels. Chad's face lit up in shock like a christmas tree.
"Sonny, you know I didn't mean to do anything wrong." He started, his sparkling blue eyes glimmering in the moonlight that fell through the windows in the prop house. I hate him.
"You never mean anything, Chad. Look," I grabbed my arm and pulled it to cross it across my other. "You won the recount, okay? But you lost me."
Silence. It seemed like the room had been coated in a fresh layer of awkwardness, and it had been. He stared at me for a second before nodding. I handed him the trophy and gave him a stare. A stare I'd never given anyone before. This lovesick stare, I was sick of his 'love' but also was sick because I wasn't getting it at all.
"Sonny, please, this is ridi―" He began, turning back to me with regret shining in those blue eyes of his. Oh Chad Dylan Cooper, you've pushed it too far. I can't live on the edge of this cliff anymore, waiting for you to 'accidentally' push me.
"Chad, we're over. No more chances." I turned on my heel, but from my peripheral vision I watched him slowly turn around, knees wobbling. He set the trophy down on our table and left.
As soon as he did, I slumped on the couch and tried my best not to cry.
How could he do this? I knew he was self centered, but I didn't think he'd go this far. This was the final time he'd broke my heart.
I breathed in and realized I was being watched. I heard a biting sound, and just knew it was Grady eating something.
"I know you're there." I spat, half-angry and half-glad. I was mad that they eavesdropped but happy that someone would be there to help me. They scrambled down the balcony they watched our fight from and jumped onto the couch.
Silence emerged further until I was 78% sure that I was deaf from the betrayal Chad caused.
"One day Sonny, we're gonna come back in our show, with the highest ratings ever. You're gonna be the best star ever, and Chad is gonna regret the day he asked for a recount." Tawni (surprisingly) comforted me, flipping her hair to the side.
Perhaps Tawni was right, I may be no good today, but I'll be good tomorrow. I smiled eagerly after I realized what she said.
"Sounds like somebody cares about me." I snickered through a smug look. Tawni's face rose, and she gasped at my face.
"You act like I'm so heartless." She flipped her curly blonde hair over her shoulder and looked to Niko for help.
God, I loved how they were so loving. An amazing show business family. I couldn't ask for anything better, aside from Chad being supportive. However, what can you do about jerks like him? Even if he was a dreamy, somewhat-kind, movie star?
Oh man, this character is great. I love it.
I adjusted the fat suit I had on and smiled at the clipboard I got as well. I was so excited for this sketch. I got to play an overly rude waitress who was bad at taking orders.
"Hey, does this fat suit make me look fat?" I asked as Tawni walked into the room, fluffing her hair.
"You're wearing a fat suit?" She teased, laughing as she changed into a sparkly pink robe.
"Haha, very funny." I knew Tawni hated me, for her own reasons, but I wasn't gonna get into it. "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the cafeteria getting some fro-yo."
"Wait, I need you!" Tawni exclaimed, looking my way. In that instant I turned around, excited to help out. "Really?"
"Yes. To get me some frozen yogurt. Something pink and sweet." She smiled, as if she knew she was letting me down.
Trying not to act hurt, I replied blantly, "I'm not actually a waitress." She smiled and brought a finger to her chin.
"We'll see!" Tawni turned to the door and vents and yelled, "New girl's making a froyo run!" The vent slid open and out popped an energetic Zora.
"Ooh, I'll take strawberry! Also, I need twelve double-A batteries."
They all said what they needed me to grab for them, so I sighed and decided to just play their waitress for now.
I filled up the last cup with strawberry froyo, placing it on the tray neatly.
"Hey, Miss, when you're done with those orders I'm gonna need an extra-large chocolate." A voice behind me spoke, obviously thinking I was a real waitress. Well, I guess the character was convincing.
"I don't work here, sorr―" I turned to see the face of a true movie star, the god himself, Chad Dylan Cooper. "Oh my gosh, I know you! You're.. You're…"
My voice raised in shock that I was seeing..
He walked up to a poster of Mackenzie falls, a popular teen drama show. "Him?" He asked, imitating the picture of himself on the poster.
I nodded furiously, starstruck like I'd found gold.
"You're mackenzie on Mackenzie Falls!" I was seeing stars, a true hero was standing in front of me.
"And, apparently you're Madge." He tilted his head, looking at my fake name-tag.
"Yes," I began, then realized what I was saying. "No, no! Madge is my waitress character! And all this," I pointed to my fat suit. "Belongs to Madge too." I exclaimed, smiling eagerly.
I held out my hand in an offering way, wanting him to shake it. Not sure if I was actually introducing myself or if I just wanted to touch a star's hand. "Hi, I'm Sonny."
I burst out in tears at the moment I thought of what happened when we met, I teared up and finally let out the tears I kept inside the whole break-up.
"And then he stole my yogurt!" I cried out, pulling the first signed picture of him out of my pocket. It was folded up neatly, and I hadn't unfolded it since he gave it to me. It was time.
Dear Sonny, Thanks for the yogurt. ― Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Woah, You carry that around?" Niko asked, leaning over my shoulder to read it.
I pulled it away from his view and held it close to my chest.
"You're still gonna carry it around? After he did that to you?" Zora asked, taking it away from me. For a second, I reached out to grab it back, but I pulled back and looked out the window in the far corner. Tears flattened against my eyes and I tried to hide them.
"Sonny, watch!" Zora shouted, breaking my attention span.
She took the nicely signed picture and trashed it, along with multitudes of gross things thrown in the bin as well.
I couldn't help but smile at seeing Chad's oddly handsome face being stuffed in the trash, the same place I threw up last week when I was sick.
"See, that's the spirit!" Grady chuckled, grabbing the trash-bin. "Now watch this!"
Grady opened up the window I'd been staring out and poured the whole bin outside.
"His face no longer reeks this prop house, we are free!" Zora laughed angrily, shutting the window for Grady.
Honestly, I had to laugh. A stupid smile appeared on my face, even though that picture was one of my 'good luck charms'. You know what? I didn't need it.
"So, can we just rewind? And act like this never happened?" Niko sat down on the couch next to me once again, as did the others. Thank god for friends.
"We don't need to rewind. I'm fine right here." I spoke, sure of my circumstances.
Who cares that he left me crying in the prop house? Who cares that he's a self-loving jerk who has no sympathy to how I feel? Who even has the slightest bit of concern that I might have been the bad guy? I didn't care anymore. Why should I, anyways?
"I know what'll cheer you up! Let's go get food!" Niko exclaimed, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"Actually, I was kinda hopin' I could work on a new machine today―" Zora began, but shied away from the prying eyes of everyone. "I mean, totally! I'm down for some food!"
Chad ran his fingers through his messy hair, eyes red with tears.
"Chad, please. We need to rehearse the new season premiere of Mackenzie falls." Taliana, a new character in The Falls, spoke loudly so she was heard.
"Oh, I don't even know if I can do this, Tali. I mean, honestly? Sonny was my motivation to act, my main point! And now I feel like a dull pencil.."
"No!" Taliana screamed, heart racing. Her first opportunity on television was not going down in flames like this.
Chad ran his fingers through his hair, tears rolling against his pupils, highlighting his eyes and, in a way, polishing them.
Chad stared at Pauly as she talked about his relationship, saddened by what Grady and Niko had told him.
"I.. Just feel like she blew me off." He admitted, tear forming in his crystal-blue eyelids.
The large polar bear he looked up to gasped and repeated, "That's not true!"
He sighed and nodded, "I think it is."
'Pauly' ripped off the fake head he had on, revealing Sonny with her hair slicked back into a thick and messy bun.
"Woah!" he screamed, falling backwards off of Sonny's lap. Traumatized.
"I'm sorry I blew you off, Chad."
Chad sniffled and covered his mouth with his sweaty palm. He whispered slowly, "I never looked at Pauly the same.."
Thanks for reading! I really appreciate it :) I dont know when I'll be updating but hopefully a lot.
