SWAC fanfic- Chad, with a Habit

Mackenzie falls filming had just finished for the day, all the falls cast members where going their separate ways, most looked bored, and possibly a bit dazed, they seemed content with their work and some where fixing their hair, portly had just decided he wanted to change for the fourth time today, into his travelling home outfit.

Chad was the only one out of the ordinary, he looked happy, and proud, but if you really paid attention to him, you would notice his fidget and look rather agitated, as if his mind was on something else. The director shouted that they were officially done for the week and that he would see everyone on Monday, Chad calmly walked behind a curtain and once he was out of sight and no one had any attention on him he ran, he got back to his dressing room, but didn't stop he ran though the middle ( as thankfully both doors had been left open) grasping his miniature grey backpack and continued to run, until he reached the little side fire door at the back of the studio, he opened it onto a small path in between two buildings roughly a metre wide and hurriedly opened his backpack.

"I'm never skipping at lunch again he thought" he found the packet he had been searching for took one out lit it up and took a drag from a cigarette

"Oh My Gossshhhh" he sighed as he exhaled grey smoke floating past his face. His back fell on the wall next to the door; he rested his forehead in his hand

'Chad why did you do this?' he thought as he began his second drag, he knew it was a nasty habit and he had cut down a lot, one in the morning, one at lunch, one before the show and one before bed, that's it. That may only be 4 cigarettes a day but Chad Dylan cooper loathed himself for it.

His addiction didn't begin the way it was publicised but Chad had his memories welded in his mind just to remind his he must be good and nice in every other way, to make up for what he truly hated about himself. And yet he often overdid this coming across as cocky whereas it was actually a deep need for people to like him and see what is good about him so that if they did in fact find out about his secret they would not be so disappointed in him.

Ever since he was little Chad's uncle had persistently smoked, his couldn't go more than an hour without a cigarette, he called it a close personal friendship with his little buddy. When he would babysit Chad the smoke would be blown in his face all the time, when he got older he spent less time with his uncle and didn't miss it, when he went to go visit him, he suggested he try it to see if it helped with his stress (as of course Chad had been acting and thus treated like an adult since he was a toddler), he was young and easily influenced, he tried and felt better, slightly perkier, ever since he'd been hooked.

He continued to inhale, until the door was opened, he was squashed between the door and the wall, and he saw a set of black small heels. Chad due to being squished immediately forgot about keeping his habit a secret and instinctively pushed the door away from him to protect his neatly pressed and clean jacket revealing who was at the other side.

"Oh hi Chad" it was Sonny the other side of the door 'oh damn' Chad thought not only is this the girl he has a crush on (not matter how much he tried to deny it), but he happens to be smoking and really needs to breathe out a puff of smoke at the moment, but then she'll notice his smoking, definitely not the person he wanted to know, of all the people to walk out, oh damn damn damn!

Chad's mental summary of his situation although containing a lot of information, actually only lasted a nano-second.

"Sorry to barge out like this, I know it's not like me to barge out into a dark alley, but it was a bit stuffy in the studio and I felt like some fresh air, even though I guess it's not very fresh or airy out here it being an alley in all, but I think being outside…'

Sonny continued to babble on, Chad smiled she was so chatty and bubbly, he adored spending time with her, epically on her own without her rather odd cast mates, and it was times like these he kept in a special place in his heart.

"…Anyway what are you doing out here Chad, not enough people or glamour for you to be out here?"

Oh no couldn't answer her without opening my mouth, and this is really starting to burn, erm I'll err.

Chad turned his head away from sonny an exhaled the smoke he had stored in his mouth.

"CHAD? ARE YOU SMOKING?"

Sonny's solo convocation halted her socked expression indented on her face, Chad knew he had to say something, but couldn't think of a single excuse, so he just said the first thing that he generally said in their convocations:

"Hi sonny" he cursed himself, for lack of a more logical intelligent reply. Sonny still didn't say anything she seemed frozen.

"Erm, yes I guess that could be an accurate term for what I am doing now" he was getting worried sonny still wasn't responding, he was slightly confused about why she was so shocked he always thought that the random's thought the worst of the falls anyway, then again he was surprised at himself…maybe he should tell her that,

"I understand that you are shocked, I mean it's not every day that you see stars like TV's Chad Dylan Cooper, smoking but it's not something I do on purpose or coz its cool, but I've cut down a lot, please please do not tell anyone, especially the producer, he will fire me so quick and so publically I'll never get another job again please!" he was surprised how easy it was to talk to sonny to give his honest opinion and tell the truth.

Sonny re-gathered herself and straightened up. Chad was surprised she didn't look angry; in fact her expression was unreadable. Chad could only compare the situation when you do badly in school and your waiting for your parent's opinion on how you did…what was she going to say?

ok so what did you think please review, good or bad i just want to know :)
