Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to update. hope you like it! thanks for the reviews, r&r please!

"Oh my gosh, Tawni! I can't believe that you are doing this to me!" Sonny was infuriated. "How can you make me choose between you four or Chad?"

"Well, all you have to do is choose between dating the jerk and losing your friends, or keep your friends and lose the jerk." Tawni moved to her mirror and started playing with her hair. "It's not hard, Sonny. Just lose the loser; Chad Dylan Cooper."

"Tawni, I'm not losing Chad. Why can't you just live with the fact that I'm dating him?"

"Because you, and innocent, happy girl, going out with him, a jerk, equals our cast looking bad."

" I can't believe this! How can you be so selfish?" Sonny felt her voice rising as she continued on, "All you care about is your stupid reputation!"

"Oh Sonny, no it's not. I care about you, so does the rest of the cast. Chad's just not the right guy for you." Tawni turned to face her.

"Listen Tawni," Sonny was yelling just about as loud as she could now, "you're not me. You can't tell if Chad is the right guy for me or not. If you really cared about me, then you would be a little bit more supportive in this. Chad isn't the jerk he used to be, he's changed." Sonny paused for a moment, but as soon as Tawni's lips started to move, she started in again, "I'm not you, and I don't really care about your reputation. Just, don't lie to me and say that you care about me, because I know that you don't. Let me do my own thing and make my own decisions. You're not my mom!" there was complete silence for a moment before Tawni spoke.

"Fine, date the jerk. See if I care. He's apparently already rubbed off on you. Just realize that as long as you date him, stay away from me!" and with that, Tawni left Sonny in their dressing room by herself. Sonny dropped to the floor and began crying. It was not a bit wail, or anything; it was just a steady flow of tears racing down her cheeks.

"Oh my gosh," Sonny whimpered to herself. "How could I have let this happen?" Sonny lay right where she was and cried silently to herself.

"Chad Dylan Cooper is NOT told what to do by other people that are below him!" Chad had been stopped and questioned by his whole cast, and they had already updated him on what the deal was. "You know what? Either you accept the fact that I am dating Sonny Monroe, or you no longer aloud to hang out with me or talk to me!" Chad ran quickly out of the room and made his way outside of the building. He took out his phone and called Sonny.

"Hey Sonny," he said as she picked up her phone.

"Chad, it's so good to hear your voice!" Sonny sighed

"Your cast found out?"

"Yeah, yours?"

"Yeah. How'd the So Random cast take it?"

"Horribly. What about the Mackenzie Falls cast?"

"Horribly. Even the guys and Zora took it badly?"

"Yes, they all did. Hey, do you mind if we talk about this face to face? And maybe we can go somewhere that's not around here. I would really like to get away from here for a little bit." Sonny sighed again and stood up.

"That's fine. Any clue where you want to go, Sonny?"

"Anywhere, with as few people as possible."

Chad thought for a minute. "I think I know the perfect place! Meet me out here at the front door as soon as possible. I'll have a limo waiting for us."

"Okay Chad, I'll be out in just a few minutes." Sonny checked her reflection in the mirror as she quickly left the room. "Well, if he doesn't like me when I look like this, big red puffy eyes and smeared make-up, he doesn't deserve me when I look beautiful." She raced outside and leaped into Chad's arms as she burst into tears.

"Come on, Sonny. We need to get going before someone sees us." The couple got into the limo and Chad took Sonny's hand. "So, what did your cast say?"

"Well," Sonny took a deep breath and told her story. "How'd yours go?"

"Lucky!" Chad smiled to try and comfort Sonny and relax the mood. "I got yelled at by my whole cast. They blocked the door so that I couldn't leave until I listened to their every word. Finally, they stopped rambling and I yelled at them and left." The limo stopped at a small park that was pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

"How did I never know this was here?" Sonny got out of the limo and stood in awe. "This is so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it reminds me of someone." Chad smiled softly and took Sonny's hand, "I'm one of the few people who actually knows that this park exists. My grandpa used to bring me here when I was a kid." The couple started walking, hand in hand, down one of the trails. Neither spoke a word out loud, but they were still communicating. Chad put his arm around Sonny's shoulders, and she in turn wrapped her arm around his waist.

"Chad?"

"Yes, Sonny?"

"What are we going to do?"

"Sonny, everything will work itself out. I promise."

Sonny thought to herself, I doubt it.
