SONNY POV
I was driving down the dark street I had grown to know so well. The drive to his house seemed to last longer than the year I was away. I kept playing back the memory of what Chad said to me before I boarded the plane, "I'll wait, y'know. We will pick right back up from where we left off. I Promise. I love you, Sonny." Then he gave me a peck on the lips as they gave the last call for the flight to Augusta, Maine. The movie I had been acting for had ended earlier than expected to, so here I was.
I pulled up to his house, seeing his living room light still being on. I have only dreamed of this moment for the past twelve months. Different situations played in my mind, day after day. The day I came back and Chad would sweep me off my feet and tell me over and over again about how much he missed and loved me. I turned off my car and stepped outside into the chilly, winter air.
The butterflies in my stomach fluttered as I walked up the pathway to his front door. I rang the doorbell, and remembering how I used to walk in as if I lived there. I only waited for a minute before the door quickly swung open to reveal a shirtless Chad standing in front of me. His smile dropped instantly and looked shocked beyond belief.
"S-sonny?" He sounded hesitant and glanced behind him, to the living room.
I was grinning ear-to-ear and hugged him around his waist. I expected him to hug back but his arms stayed at his side until I pulled away with a slight frown.
"Wow," Chad ran his hand through his sandy-colored hair, looking at the ground. "It's been such a long time." He looked up at me with a blank expression.
"I'm so glad I am finally home," I started going on. "I thought the movie would never end but we finished our last scene just last week! I was going to call but I thought the surprise would be worth it to see your reaction-"
"Sonny." Chad tried to interrupt but I was didn't pay much attention.
"-But trust me. It was so worth it. You were, like, so shocked to see me. Not much has changed, though- same old Sonny here." I gave him a big grin with my last statement.
"I've moved on." He blurted, staring at me with a harsh expression.
"What are you talking about Chad?" He wasn't making sense. We had talked on the phone months ago and he sounded fine and happy to know the movie was doing so well.
"Stuff happens, you should know that," He was trying to explain which only came off as a lame excuse to get rid of me. "People change, they move on. I-I've found someone else.. And so have you, so I've heard." He mumbled his last sentence.
But I was too angry to pay much attention to it and continued, "But you promised, Chad. We would pick up from where we left off."
"I said that a year ago, damn it. You didn't keep your promise." He replied sternly, surprising me but also confusing me. The hurt leaked to my eyes immediately and he softened his face a little. "Look, Sonny-" I cut him off before he could fit in another word.
"You promised me something," I yelled. I was so sure he waited. I waited. I turned down a million guys in Maine because I knew Chad was waiting for me here, at home. At least I thought I knew. "You promised you would wait. I waited for you, Chad Dylan Cooper. I turned down guy after guy, because I wanted to be with you. But you just couldn't wait for me?" I blinked, trying to hold back tears as I was getting angrier and more annoyed.
"I did wait. You're the one who didn't." His eyes pierced into mine, still bluer than the sky and sea combined. "You stopped calling. I heard rumor after rumor that you had run off with some guy and settled down with him. There is even proof and you are the one getting angry with me?" His voice was rising as the conversation heated. Proof? His words confused me more than I already was.
"That's a rumor, Chad. If you were so worried about that, why didn't you call?" A tear managed to escape and froze almost instantly on my cheek.
He opened his mouth to say something but we were interrupted. "Chad?" A worried woman's voice yelled from the living room. I stiffened at the sound.
"Meg." I hated his nickname for her. I hated how her name rolled off his tongue. I hated her. Chad's voice was full of warning to leave. 'Meg' walked over to wear Chad was and spotted me and greeted me with a warm and sweet smile. She was beautiful- of course. Her shiny deep auburn hair dropped down her shoulders naturally and it looked a bit ruffled as if someone had been running their hands- I stopped myself. Her skin glowed and her big green eyes sparkled. She was goddamn perfect. I looked down to see what she was wearing- one of Chad's tees that barely covered her butt. Slut. Perfect slut.
"Hey," she greeted warmly, not an ounce of hostility or rudeness in her voice. "I'm Megan." Then she gave me a dazzling smile with her perfectly straight teeth.
I looked up at Chad, who was looking at his bare feet. Tears were freely falling down my cheeks by now.
"Oh my God," Megan saw my tears and looked worried. Then her face washed over with a look of realization. "So, you're 'Sonny'?" Her sweetness was drained from her voice and replaced with hate. She gave me an amused smile. "Sorry, Chad doesn't date whores."
I looked at Chad to see him finding the ground more interesting than the conversation.
I couldn't handle it anymore. I turned on my heels and ran to my car. I heard Chad yelling after me and Meg laughing that sounded like a hyena. I reached my car and climbed in, then sped off.
