(A/N) I'm really excited about this chapter because it's the first one I've written for Chad! I think Chad is going to be my favorite character to write for. I also couldn't wait to write for Tawni so I snuck a little Tawni POV. Hope you like it!
Chad's POV
I walked into the Prop House and flopped onto the couch face first and groaned. I just wanted to melt into the couch and hide forever. It's been a month since Sonny left and I miss her like crazy. Everything about her was just so… warm. I sighed into the couch and reminded myself that I had rehearsal for Mack Falls in 10 minutes and I still hadn't changed or gone to hair and make-up. I was just about to get up when I heard someone stomp in and felt someone shoving me off the couch. I landed on the ground with a thud to see Tawni standing over me looking irritated, which is how she has looked everyday since Sonny left.
"What are you doing here Chad?" She demanded to know.
I gave her the CDC trademark smirk. "Oh you know, just hanging out, soaking in all the funny you Randoms have to offer."
"Whatever." And with that, she sat down on the couch, put her feet up on the coffee table, and turned on the T.V.
"Shouldn't you be nicer to me now that I'm kind of on So Random?"
She said nothing in response to that question so I just got off the floor and left. I had been a recurring guest star on So Random for the past month until they found Sonny's replacement, but I honestly didn't think that was ever going to happen. I walked onto the Mack Falls set knowing that I was horribly late and I would probably get yelled at but honestly, I didn't care.
"Hey Chad!"
I turned around to see Trevor running to catch up with me. "Oh, hey Trevor."
"Man, you better get to the set. Portlyn is about to strangle someone because you're so late."
I groaned. Just what I needed, Portlyn being… well, Portlyn. "Thanks man, I'll catch you later."
"Good luck dude!"
After Trevor walked away I started to make my way to the set where a very angry Portlyn was waiting for me. This day just keeps getting better and better.
Tawni's POV
After Chad had left, I sat there watching T.V. for about an hour or so until I finally decided that there was nothing good on. After turning off the T.V. I got up and went back to my dressing room. I walked in and went over to what used to be Sonny's side of the room. I stood there and just looked at everything. Everything was still the same except that all of Sonny's stuff was gone; all that was left was the furniture. I sank down into the couch, the place where Sonny had told me goodbye. I felt tears welling up in the back of my eyes but I forced them back knowing that Sonny wouldn't want me to cry over her. I lay back on the couch and closed my eyes and at some point I felt myself doze off.
Sonny's POV
The taxi pulled up to the airport and I handed him money and got out of the taxi, taking my luggage with me. As I was walking into the airport I heard my phone 'moo' and dug it out of my purse and looked at who was calling me, it was my mom.
I answered the phone. "Hi mom!"
"Oh, Sonny, sweetheart! I've missed the sound of your voice! How are you?"
"I'm fine mom, I'm at the airport."
"OK sweetheart, I guess I'll let you go. I'll be at the airport to pick you up when you land."
"OK mom, I love you."
"I love you to Sonny."
I hung up and stared at my phone for a few seconds. There was something I needed to do. I scrolled through my contact list until I found whom I wanted to call and pressed 'call'. After a few seconds the person picked up.
"Hello?"
"Marshall? It's… its Sonny."
"Sonny! How are you?"
"I'm fine Marshall, I just was calling to tell you that I finished my treatment and I'm coming back today." Marshall was one of the few people who knew the truth about why I left So Random.
"Oh Sonny! That's such great news! I can't wait to tell everyone! They've missed you so much."
"Wait! Marshall! Can you… can you not tell them that I'm coming back? I want it to be a surprise."
"Of course! They are going to be so happy to see you!"
I smiled. I bet they were. "What time should I come in?"
"The normal time, we have a lot of work to do for this weeks show!"
"OK, and… thanks Marshall."
"Anytime Sonny. I will see you tomorrow."
I heard the click on the other end of the line and I put my phone back in my purse. I smiled. This was going to be great! Now I couldn't wait to get back to Los Angles But, somewhere deep down I remembered what I was going to have to tell everyone when I got back, but I shoved it down. Nothing could ruin this moment I thought as I walked onto the plane to go home.
(A/N) You think Sonny's feelings about returning home will stay this way? Because I sure as heck don't have a clue!
