READREADREADREADREAD!!!! This chapter is the first chapter, but in Chad's POV. It starts when Sonny leaves him there with Edna and tells why he finds Edna to be a beautiful person on the inside. Hopefully it will make more sense as to why he changed his mind so quickly! Also, Edna's talking is weird…imagine no teeth and Southern Illinois accent. I tried to make it as understandable as possible!

Thank you all so much for your support! I do have to say that I'm a little disappointed in how few reviews I've gotten, but I do appreciate the alerts, favorites, and hits!

Well, timbermoonkiss helped me figure out how to make this chapter and the last one a bit better, so a big thank you to her! Also, sonnycentral and TrinityFlower of Memories are awesome for their reviews! Thank you guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter, too!

"Uh, Sonny! Wait, where are you…" I was too late. Sonny was probably down the hallway and out the door by now. Now I was stuck with the stupid old hag. Ugh, seriously, couldn't she at least go to a dentist or find some clothes that are from this century?! And that smell! I didn't know how long I could stand to be around her, if she had to explain the job to me! Hopefully she'd just have to leave right away…

"Darlin'? Sonny, whar'd ya go?" I rolled my eyes as the old lady walked around the corner with an apron in hand. She saw me alone and squinted in confusion. "Watcha doin' jis standin' thar boy? Whar'd Sonny go?"

My lip curled in disgust and my face contorted into a hideous look of pure hatred. Why did I have to do this job for the stupid low-life decrepit woman?! I should be off somewhere, sipping a Loganberry smoothie and being swooned over by my fans!

"I'm…" I pointed to my chest, hoping she could hear what I was saying, "here…" I gestured to the ground at my feet, "to work." Then I pointed at the coffee machines and she just laughed at me. Great! Now she's a crazy old gross-smelling lady!

"Darlin', I ain't deaf! Ya don' haf ta be bellowin' and doin' all sortsa silly hand motions at me." She had what some would call a 'twinkle' in her eye. She surprised me by throwing back her head and busting out laughing. Again. Seriously, how can you be so happy when you look like you've crawled out of a grave?

"OH, OF COURSE. YOU JUST LOOKED…OLD." I still kept my voice louder than normal and talked slowly, but she didn't say anything this time.

"Oh, I ain't a day ova' eight'ay sev'n!" My eyes bugged out. Eighty seven?! Oh, my Chad! Isn't it illegal to keep people working past sixty? "Come on, Suga', let's get crackin'!" Her drawl snapped me back to reality. "Now, ya need ta know that the cash regista' is unlocked, so don' go leavin' it for someun' to come 'n steal from! Other 'n that, jis be sure ta check the labels to make sure ya got the right kinda cuppa joe. Got it?" I nodded, hoping she'd leave soon.

"Well, I gotta get scootin' now, darlin', but ya jis call if you need ta know anythin' else. My cellular number is on the counta', okay?" I grimaced when I thought of trying to call her on a cell phone. How would she hear me?

"Okay, see you…later. Edna." Ugh, thank goodness she was gone now. I could just put up the closed sign and text Portlyn for a while. Although, she was getting annoying, maybe I could text someone else…who? Before I could even consider anyone else, I heard that annoying wheezing voice again. Why was she back?

"Darlin' I'm sorry. I musta fergot that blasted phone in here somewhar! Caint never remembar whar I leave stuff no more." Great, now I'll have to help her look. "Could you come over here and git down thar to look? Fraid I caint bend down tha far an'more." Ew. She wants me to bend down. ON THE FLOOR?! I can't believe Sonny left me here with her…just wait until she gets back!

"Yep! Right thar! D'ya see it?" I almost growled. Literally g-r-o-w-l-e-d. Currently I am on my hands and knees in my expensive television uniform, trying to find this blasted cell phone and Sonny's off enjoying herself with Fro-Yo! Could this world get any worse!? Oh, it already did…I said blasted! Just being around this old lady is making me start talking like a hillbilly! Ew…I didn't think I'd ever say that.

"Honey? Do ya see it? Oh, tarnation! I haf ta have that thang ta be able ta know whar to meet my Frank! Oh, golly, what am I goin' ta do?" Oh, crap. She's crying. Gross! Her nose is running, too! I did not sign up for this… Great, acting time!

"Oh, Edna," I reached over and patted her shoulder very lightly, "it'll be…okay." She sniffled and looked up at me. She had what some may call puppy dog eyes. Except hers were slightly wrinklier. More like pug eyes. I guess I felt a little bad for her.

"Did Sonny tell ya 'bout my Frank?" Her voice was a little more serious sounding now. My eyes widened and I shook my head. Was I really going to hear about this Frank person? Yeah, so Sonny didn't tell me, but I'm gonna find out anyways! Score for CDC!

"Well, we was in love. S'pose ya cain call it that, but it seemed much more ta me. He was an act-or. I was jis on vacation from college; it was my firs' year and I was chosen ta go on a school trip to Holl'wood. I thank we was in a actin' class at that time, and Holl'wood was the bees' knees! Do ya even say that an'more?" I shook my head and hoped she'd get on with the point.

"Well, an'ways, I went thar and we was tourin' this set place, and then I saw 'im. He was beau-tee-full! At firs' he didn' even see me. He fell offa one o' the scaffoldins they had set up fer his stuntin' stuff. I ran over an' checked ta see if he'd broken an'thing. He was alright, but he offered ta take me out fer some lunch. We went ta the movies and he even paid fer some popcorn!" How gentlemanly of Frank. Now why's she so upset?!

Oh, I'm sooooooo sorry that I have to stop it there! It's not really a cliffie, but more of a sudden stop. I just finished an eighteen page English project, so I'm tired of writing right now. I did promise an update for this, though, so I'm giving it to you! Hope you enjoyed it! The rest of the chapter should be up sometime soon…probably this week or coming weekend.

Also, if you're a fan of Lost Phone, I'M SORRY! I'll be getting out the next chapter of that as soon as possible, too. Thanks for reading, review if you please!
