To the anonymous reviewer, 'i know stuff': PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON HERE! No wait, don't tell me, PM me if you do. :P Then I can explain the teeniest, tiniest of details in massive detail. If that made any sense. And yeah, I just had to add the DDLJ (or…DWDL, as you called it) reference! Anyway, I wanna talk to you, dude! I get excited when I come across another Bollywood-watching SWAC FanFic reader. :D
To everyone else: Thanks for the reviews, and enjoy the chapter! And I think I'll give the failed relationships a maximum of two chapters each; sound good? ^_^
Here, I own… Everything that isn't in italics. LOL. :P
Ladies Vs CDC
Chapter 3 – Chastity: Part 2
Chad
It was finally bright enough for us to continue our journey, so we set off again on the motorbike. After stopping at a random train station to change, we resumed travelling through a whole lot of small towns, and at one interestingly musical place, we ended up letting people stare at us as we randomly stopped to dance in the street… I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun. I mean, that was something I'd never done before – I thought only idiots in movies could dance in public like that without getting arrested! I was clearly wrong. And after all of the fun, which we both knew had to end at some point, we got back onto the motorbike and hit the road.
Not long after our dancing adventure, we'd arrived at the airport. My flight's departure wasn't until about midnight, and at the time, it was only 5 pm, so I'd called my friends from a random payphone (using those few coins that Chastity had left – never thought they'd have come in handy before that) and we agreed to meet at the airport early, so that we could then wander around like the idiots we are to pass the remaining time.
"We're here," I said softly to Chastity, who had somehow fallen asleep with her head resting on my back. As much as I didn't want to wake her, I had no choice…
"Oh…" she mumbled sleepily, looking a little upset. Well, who wouldn't be? Of course, she wanted to spend as much time as possible with CDC!
And with that, we got off the motorbike and left it at the airport's vehicle rental stand. Chastity remained silent, and just as she was about to head back to her parents, she stopped and ran back towards me. I simply stared at her, genuinely confused.
"You wanna know what I wished for when we saw that shooting star?" she asked, smiling.
"What?" What was she on to?
"I wished that we'd be late and I'd end up missing the plane too," she replied, almost blushing. Ah, I thought so!
"Well, going by your so-called 'wish logic', now that you told me, you really won't miss it," I said quickly. She giggled. We walked back to where her parents were, and I stayed behind a little. The last thing I wanted was an interrogation – this girl had put me through enough mental stress already!
"I was so scared…" I overheard her saying to them, "If Chad hadn't been there, I don't know what I'd have done! Oh sorry, this is Chad." She turned and signalled to me to come over, which I did. If they wanted to interrogate me, I would refuse to answer their questions. By then, I'd had enough interrogations with girls' parents to know that they were absolute torture.
"Hi," I said, smiling nervously. Chastity's father glared at me, scanning my weird choice of outfit. Well, it wasn't that weird. Okay, my shirt was purple, but so what?
"Thank you!" he said suddenly, surprising me. I'd been expecting a bombardment of questions and yelling, but hey – that sort of reaction was pretty good for me!
"We were so worried about her… Thank you so much!" Chastity's mother said, smiling with gratitude, "There's no way we can repay you for this favour." They were a little too grateful, if you asked me. Considering my motives had been to be with Chastity then, but never to see her again afterwards, it seemed as if I was suddenly her boyfriend. Well, she must've thought so. But I wasn't that 'perfect boyfriend' type. I was, as you already know, the exact opposite. I still am.
"It really wasn't that much trouble…" I said, smiling. Even though I was a bad guy, I knew I'd never see them again, so I thought, why not just end this on a good note rather than a bad impression?
"Oh, and if you ever come to Toronto, do visit us!" Her father smiled acceptingly.
"Of course, Sir," I said. Like I said – good impression. It wasn't like I would ever bother to go all the way to Canada just to meet them!
"Chastity, give him our address, will you?" he said, turning to his daughter, "We'll meet you at the check-in counter, okay?" She smiled and nodded, and her parents and friends left. I sighed, relieved that they were gone. The two of us wandered towards the check-in area slowly, talking as we went.
"So, um… Will you call me?" Chastity asked nervously.
"Nah," I said. She looked worried, so I continued, "I'll follow you to Toronto and beat up that husband of yours!" She giggled, and we realised we'd reached the check-in area.
"Chastity!" One of her friends called, diverting her attention.
"You won't be too late, will you?" she asked me quickly.
"Nope!" I smirked, and she smiled again. I seriously hoped she knew I was joking!
"Bye…" she said slowly.
"Bye," I said, and suddenly, she grinned, once again taking me by surprise and quickly kissing my cheek. That girl was seriously strange and spontaneous. And then she ran off to her friends, giggling away. She turned around again and I waved to her, before heading to the airport's food area, where my friends were waiting for me as we had planned.
"Hey, Chad!" James said. I could've sworn he looked relieved… What? I was honestly convinced that the guy was gay. I don't blame him; I mean, I'm kinda perfect!
"Dude, we know you're a player. But what happened with that girl?" Daniel asked me, as soon as I was within hearing range of their voices.
"Nothing," I said, "If everything is nothing in your vocabulary!" So, I was exaggerating slightly. Well, who doesn't? We're guys. We're just like this.
"Everything?" James laughed.
"Almost." I smirked. I stood there, grinning, feeling proud of myself. I was a heartbreaker – that's my job!
"Did anything happen, or was she that innocent?" Skyler asked.
"Nah, she wasn't. Not as much as she looked. But I don't kiss and tell, remember that. And she's actually fallen in love with me! She's even thought about running away with me and everything, but you guys know how often that happens, right?" I said, and we all started to laugh. Suddenly, some weird force told me I should turn around, so I did. And there stood Chastity, with tears in her eyes. She'd heard everything. She made a horrible attempt at shooting me a death glare, but burst into tears seconds later. Another heart, broken at the hands of Chad Dylan Cooper. And so, I simply walked away before anything else could be said or done.
And that's the story of my very short relationship with Chastity. Think what you want – I'd only just turned eighteen. I had no idea what I was doing! Okay, maybe I did, a little bit, but still. Do you really think I'd tell the guys the truth when it came to something like this? And it wasn't like I was actually thinking of marrying her. Her life was already fixed – all I did was walk in and out of it. She'd probably have forgotten me within a month or so anyway. She sure as hell won't remember me now.
Chastity
"And that was my encounter with Chad Dylan Cooper," I finish softly, as a few tears roll down my cheeks.
"But, you guys seemed perfect together! What happened?" Sonny asks, curious. The memories of everything that destroyed my love for Chad come flooding back into my mind, as I try to avoid crying. I just can't forget him…
"Everything I'd never expected…" I whisper, remembering the shocking things I'd found out after he'd left me with my parents, thinking he'd gotten rid of me for good.
After he walked away…
"I'll be back in a minute, okay?" I told my friend, and she nodded. I ran in the direction Chad had just walked towards, and saw him standing with his friends, talking and laughing. I had to tell him. I just couldn't leave without letting him know I'd fallen in love with him and that I wanted to be with him forever. I knew he was joking about . But then, every word I heard him say to his friends caused my entire world to crash and tumble, and my heart to shatter into pieces…
"Dude, we know you're a player. But what happened that girl?" One of the guys asked.
"Nothing," he said, "If everything is nothing in your vocabulary!"
"Everything?" Another guy laughed.
"Almost." Chad smirked. He didn't know I was there – his back was facing me. I couldn't believe this was the same guy who had kindly helped me, who had taken the trouble of bringing me here…and who I thought I was in love with.
"Did anything happen, or was she that innocent?" Another of his friends asked, as Chad grinned.
"Nah, she wasn't. Not as much as she looked. But I don't kiss and tell, remember that. And she's actually fallen in love with me! She's even thought about running away with me and everything, but you guys know how often that happens, right?" he replied with a chuckle. They all laughed, and then, Chad turned around. He saw me. I glared at him angrily, but couldn't keep it in any longer. I stood there, completely still, crying my eyes out. I wanted him to come and tell me all that was just nonsense, but he just stood in front of me, looking at me…and then, he walked away.
Sonny
"Oh my gosh, Chastity… That's horrible! So, he never really loved you, despite all of that?" I gasp. How could someone be so mean? She didn't deserve any of that!
"Nope. He didn't," Chastity replies, still crying a little. I feel sorry for her…
"Aww…" I smile sympathetically, and lean over the table in a weird attempt to hug her. I'm a hugger!
"Sonny, what the heck are you doing?" Penelope asks, looking completely unmoved. She really seems mean – I don't think I like her very much! "So, Tawni, now it's your turn. He met you next, didn't he?" she adds, looking over at Tawni.
"Yeah. Well, here goes…" Tawni starts to say. I wonder what could've happened between her and Chad that's made her so mad at him… I listen intently as she starts to tell the story.
Yeah, that was kind of a filler, just to give the ending of Chadstity. LOL :P
