Well, I thought of this ages ago, but I finally finished writing it! Enjoy :)
Who Do You Think You Are?
Chad Dylan Cooper sighed as he heard the loud doorbell ringing, loudly and repeatedly. Who was stupid enough to dare to turn up at his house so early in the morning? And what idiot had the nerve to disturb his beauty sleep? Not that he needed beauty sleep, of course. He just wanted to make the most of the time he'd been given for hiatus, and just relax. He was glad to be getting a break from the dramatic madness of Mackenzie Falls. The brunette sleeping next to him stirred slightly, and he smiled at her.
"Don't worry. I'll get it," he said softly, and she became still once again. He sighed, and lazily, he dragged himself out of his large, soft, king-sized bed. He made his way out of the room and down the stairs. Still half-asleep, he headed towards the massive oak double-doors, and pulled them open slowly.
"What?" Chad asked sleepily, blinking quickly to adjust to the bright light from outside. He felt like a vampire – it had been darker in his room, and the direct sunlight felt made him feel like he was being attacked by fire.
"Chad, I'm sorry," a pained female voice said. His eyes were suddenly wide open. Sonny Munroe, the girl who'd broken up with him three weeks and five days previously, stood outside his house, wearing sweats and a baggy hoodie, with her dark brown hair in a mess, and looking as if she hadn't slept in days.
"For what?" he asked bitterly, glaring at her. He'd trained himself to feel absolutely nothing when he saw her. He'd learnt to think of her as just another person he happened to know. Just another acquaintance.
"You know what, Chad. And I know it's taken me a while to realise this, but I was so wrong to break up with you! I need you. I can't live without you. Please, forgive me; I love you…" she said slowly. He remained expressionless.
He groaned, dragging a hand down his face. He was irritated. Even her mere presence irked him, and the fact that she was standing on his doorstep was just the icing on the cake of annoyance. "If you love me so much, why'd you do it? No-one purposely breaks someone's heart if they truly love them. And you expect me to forgive you? Who do you think you are, Sonny?" he said, his voice increasing in volume by each word, so he was almost yelling by the end. A look of fear and confusion took over her face, but he tried his best to ignore it. He didn't want to care. He wanted to hate her for what she did to him.
"Why, Chad? Don't you love me too?" Sonny asked, looking into his eyes.
Chad shook his head. "No. I don't." Before she could say anything else, he continued, "I loved you. I swear, I really did love you. But after what you did, nobody could possibly continue to love you! Damn it, Sonny, I'd have to be a total idiot to want you back!" he replied, adding a bitter chuckle after taking a breath. "Even if I wanted to," he grinned, "I wouldn't be able to."
"Why?"
"I have a girlfriend already."
"What? Chad, I knew you were a jerk, but this is low, even for you!" Sonny shrieked, slapping him across his perfect face with all the strength she had. It wasn't a lot, but it still hurt him. He'd never been slapped that hard before. Ever. All he'd ever gotten was the odd slap from a random girlfriend he'd cheated on, but those girls hardly ever had enough strength to hurt him.
"So? What did you think? That I wouldn't be able to move on? I swear, I tried to behave like a typical breakup victim. I locked myself in my room and sat there, moping for a couple of days. But I couldn't do it. I'm used to just picking up the pieces and getting on with my life," he shrugged. "I guess you expected me to be in the kind of heart wrenching pain, that I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't even think. Well, newsflash, Miss Sonny Munroe! Here I am: rested, alive, happy, and I intend to get some cereal when you leave!" he explained. She stood still in front of him, her eyes wide, and her mouth agape.
Finally coming back to her senses, she sighed, and asked, "Who's your new girlfriend?"
"Penelope," Chad replied simply, assuming that Sonny had, in a way, accepted that he'd moved on. Hopefully she would move on too, and leave him alone. He would've been fine with that.
"What? You hated her!" Sonny yelled, shocked.
"Yeah. But now, we're very happy together. At least she wouldn't break up with me if I ordered a recount on an award, which, by the way, was rightfully mine! She, like a good girlfriend, would support me!" He said. He knew he was right. He was sure that Mackenzie Falls deserved the award way more than So Random. The greatest drama show was a lot better than the stupidest comedy show. Chad's show winning the award was better than Sonny's show winning it.
"But, I don't care about the recount anymore. I don't care about anything. I forgive you for every mistake you made, Chad, because I love you so, so much…" she said, after a few seconds of silence.
"Yeah? So tell me, where was all of that love when I spent the first three nights of hiatus after the awards sleeping in my car, outside your house, begging for another chance and waiting for you to say yes?" Chad asked. He once again laughed, bitterly, and he noticed the look on her face as she finally realised what he meant. He didn't want her back at all. "All I got from that was a sore neck," he added. A two-door convertible wasn't the most comfortable when it came to sleeping on the driver's seat.
"I know, Chad, but if you just forgive me –" Sonny started to say, before he cut her off mid-sentence.
"I can't forgive you. I don't even know why you broke up with me over that, of all things. I've made so many mistakes – you could've used any of those as an excuse. But, why'd you choose the recount?" he said suddenly.
"I didn't get mad at you for those things. But this… The recount was like, the last straw. I just couldn't take it anymore, Chad!" she replied, "Why did you have to do it?"
"Nobody is better than me, and you should know that by now. I'm unbeatable, and so, I shouldn't be beaten by anybody," he said firmly. He knew that was the truth. She could deny it as much as she wanted to, but it was the cold, hard reality.
"That's why I broke up with you. You need to get over yourself, before you come running to me and begging for forgiveness!" she shrieked, and he began to laugh.
"Uh, sorry to break it to you, Sonny, but… You're the one standing outside my house, looking like a hobo and begging me to take you back," Chad deadpanned, continuing to laugh at her confusion.
"That's it! I can't wait any longer!" Sonny yelled, looking angry. He wondered exactly what it was that she couldn't wait any longer for, but before he could come up with any ideas, he was lying on the floor of the mansion's entrance hall, with her on top of him.
"What was that?" he asked, shocked.
"Just something," she smirked, standing up and walking out, leaving him confused.
"What the hell just happened?" Chad asked himself. After all, there was no way he could make sense of that. His ex-girlfriend had just attacked him!
Yeah, that was just a random idea that was bouncing around in my brain. If you want me to continue this, let me know in a review! :)
Ooh, and some of it was inspired by a song. If I write more for this, and someone guesses the song right, they'll get a shout-out in the next chapter! It's pretty easy, actually. :P
