IMPORTANT: If you have read the first chapter before 1.13.12, please go back and read it again. I made a few small changes that wouldn't make sense with this chapter. I decided to go a different direction with it that I'm hoping is better.


SONNY POV

I'm not exactly sure where I'm going anymore. I have been driving around Hollywood for the past hour. I tried to think of a reasonable explanation for why Chad would want to move on, which only made me cry harder. My tears were making it hard for me to see, so I finally pulled into a parking lot. When I looked up, a big sign that read 'Condor Studios' gleamed back at me. I must have subconsciously driven here, from all my years of working for So Random. I stopped watching the show because it hurt to watch, not being the one to write the silly sketches and dressing up as a bumblebee. But I knew I did the right thing by leaving and pursuing my movie career. And even though I left the show a few years ago, it still felt like home.

I glanced around the parking lot to see a lonely pink convertible in front of stage 2- So Random. What was Tawni doing here? It is almost 11 o'clock! Tawni and I became best friends during the span of my being part of the So Random cast. I made a breakthrough to the real Tawni in that time, the confident, down-to-earth, fashionable, and excitable girl. But when I left to shoot the movie, Tawni seemed to lose interest in me. She stopped answering her phone when I called and never replied to my emails.

I parked my car and set foot to the stage door. I took a deep breath and wiped away a few stray tears before I pulled the door open, being greeted with a gust of warm air. I still knew my way around perfectly, and it seemed nothing had changed. I made my way to the Random's set. On my way to my old dressing room, I saw that my face was taken down from the line of the So Random cast pictures. That didn't surprise me as much as the other face put up in my place. No way. A bright and smiling Megan stared back at me. Her hair was dark brown instead of the deep auburn I had seen only hours ago, and it was straightened, sweeping just past her elbows and her large, green eyes dazzled. She had her arms crossed in her pose, my pose.

"Sonny," a squeaky female voice, that I had grown to miss, said in amazement.

I turned my head slightly to see Tawni standing only ten feet away. Her hair was blonder than ever and she wore a little pink dress with a white cardigan and was carrying her favorite Coach purse. Her face looked more defined and her rosy cheeks highlighted her sparkling blue eyes. She gave me a big Hollywood grin and ran up and hugged me with her boney arms.

"Oh my god," Tawni started, still trapping me in a hug. "You came back! I thought you were never coming back again! I didn't answer your calls or anything because I heard you were staying in Maine forever with your mystery guy, I was-". I immediately pushed her off and looked her square in the eyes.

"What mystery guy?" I had no idea why everyone thought I had run off with some boy.

"Sonny, have you been c-crying?" Tawni stuttered, looking stunned. She has only seen me cry one other time, when my grandfather passed away.

"Of course not," I mumbled, which only made her envelope me into another hug. I reluctantly pulled away and asked her again, "What mystery guy, Tawni?"

Tawni looked at me hesitantly and replied, "Well, whenever you left word got around that you met one of the background actors and really hit it off. I was pretty skeptical at first since, you know, Chad and all. Until, I saw that picture of you and him. Chad was heartbroken, Sonny. I really thought you loved him-" Tawni kept talking but my ears had shut down. What picture? Is this what Chad was talking about? The only picture I can think of would be of one of me and the other male leading actor. He and I had gone out to a café once or twice but we were strictly friends. Nothing happened at all between us.

"No," I interrupted quite rudely. "Tawni, there is no guy. I love Chad." I choked on my last words.

Tawni gave me a sympathetic look and started, "But that doesn't make sense, Sonny. You- uh, this girl definitely looks exactly like you. And actually-" She started fumbling around in her purse, pushing around her wallet, jewelry, and other typical Tawni stuff. Finally, she pulled out a white, crumbled flyer. She gave me one last regretful glance and handed me the crumbled ball of paper.

I slowly un-crumbled the paper and smoothed it out. The heading read, 'Sonny's Mystery Man?', and then at the bottom was a picture. The picture was of a girl and boy kissing at what looked like a bar, and as much as I hate to admit it, she did look a lot like me. I couldn't see her eyes since they were closed, she had long and wavy, thick brown hair, a sloped nose, and a thin figure. The man looked completely unfamiliar. But as I looked closer, her eyebrows were thinner, her skin was paler, and the cartilage of her ear facing me was pierced.

I looked up to see Tawni looking at me sadly. "Tawni, this isn't me!" I exaggerated. "When did you get this?"

She let out a sigh of relief, but then answered, "They were all over the studio. Everyone saw it." I looked at Tawni, terrified. So this is what Chad thought happened in Maine?

"This is what Chad was talking about then?" I questioned quietly.

"So," Tawni had heard and answered, "You have seen Chad then?"

"Of course, just a couple of hours ago. We got into an argument, he had talked about this picture," referring to the crumbly flyer still in my hands, "And then there was this girl," I trailed off and took a glance of the poster of Meg again, then at Tawni. Her eyebrows were scrunched together, like she was keeping a secret but wanted to tell me badly.

"So you've met the witch," She replied. I gave her a small smile and nodded.

"Why her?" I whispered, even though I knew the answer. Chad used to go out with millions of girls before we started dating. He looked for girls with pretty faces, a thin body, and easy to get.

"Full story?" I nodded. "Well, Megan joined So Random about one year after you left, so almost two years ago. At first, she was all nice, happy, and funny. But she started to become more demanding and wanted to be in all the sketches and named herself the leader of the show. Nico, Grady, Zora, and I always called her the dictator, though." I smiled and let out a soft laugh. "Then she started flirting with Chad and hanging out with him maybe one month before you left for Maine. Don't worry, Sonny. He was totally grossed out by her and looked down on her as just a 'Random'. But about two months after you left and those flyers went around, Chad was humiliated. He wouldn't come out of his dressing room for weeks and before I knew it, Meg took it as an opportunity and snatched him while he was weak." Tawni looked up at me with eyes full of guilt, "I really thought that they were going to break up after a week but it has been almost nine months."

I looked down at my feet. "Why didn't he at least call me?" I questioned, mostly to myself. "This could have all been cleared up," I looked at Tawni again. "Didn't he still want me?"

"I don't know," Tawni whispered quietly; I gave her a slight nod. "Hey, how about you stay over at my house tonight?"

"Okay," I agreed, and then gave her a smile while she gave me a wink.


Please REVIEW.

Okay people, it's up to you. I will need at least 8 (EIGHT, OCHO, 8) people to tell me to continue this story. Or you can just picture a happy ending where Chad and Sonny run off into the sunset and Meg gets eaten by rapid penguins or whatever.(:

Thank you, hope it didn't suck that bad.
