CPOV

Sonny's sobbing has subsided to occasional sniffing. Girls and their emotions. I've never been around to witness a girl having a heartbroken crying fit, so this was all new to me. Stupid caring, this isn't AT ALL in any way 'normal' for me.

Leaving my arm wrapped around her waist, I stick my hand in my pocket digging for my room key. She was in a daze, I had already opened the door and was standing in the other side of the doorway, I waved my hand in the direction she was staring,

"Uh, Sonny, you coming in." No reply "Well you could sleep out here, but then I might have to call security and say there's a crazy fan-girl sleeping outside my door." Still nothing, "Normally that would've made you respond." I stepped towards her, she reacted.

"Huh, what was that again?"

" You coming in, I promise its more comfortable inside."

"I was just thinking. And maybe I should just drive home, after all its not like I've never driven in rain-"

I had to interrupt "And the 50 miles an hour wind? No, you've had a few drinks and let's be honest your an emotional wreck- a real hazard to all others driving on the road." She Rolled her eyes. "Come on, you know I'm right." I walked into the room and signaled her to follow.

This whole night has not been at all like what I had imagined. I was standing outside of a fancy room at the Roosevelt Hotel and Chad has just waved me to follow him in. I really shouldn't be driving in my current state and after all it is Chad, so I follow. He turns on the TV , but we just stand and look around. This is arguably the nicest hotel room I've ever seen. But I only see one bed, I swallowed hard. He cleared his throat, "so, um-"

"Uh, I'm gunna use the bathroom." I say hurriedly, take my purse and quickly shut the door behind me. I sit against the door and breathe deeply. I can see the alert light on my blackberry blinking. So I check it only to find its 1:23 am (was it really that late already) and I have 2 missed calls and a voice mail from Tawni. I needed to do something to keep my self from analyzing the situation that awaited me on the other side of the door, so I called her.

"Sonny! About time, geesh and to think people say your the innocent one." Tawni said

"Tawni!" I whisper shouted

"What's with the whispering?"

"Mm, well I'm not alone, I just wanted to call you ..."

"What!!" Tawni screamed, just then there was a knock on the bathroom door. "Sonny, you ok?"

"Just a minute." I shouted to Chad, " Tawni, I have to go, but listen -I'll call u tomorrow morning the moment I get a chance."

"Wait! Who are you with? that didn't sound like Devon, it sounded more like.... Chad. CHAD! YOUR WITH CHAD! Oh what happened! "

"I have to go." I said and hung up the phone.

Chad was standing digging through his bag that lay on the bed. "Everything all right with Tawni?" he asked.

"uh yeah"

" Here" he said and handed me a gray Mickey Mouse T-shirt, "I'm sure that'll be more comfortable than a fitted formal ball gown." He laughed

"Thanks" I said blushing and was back off to the restroom to change.


I came back to find Chad changed and laying on the couch that was in the bedroom, eating pop tarts. "Want some" he mumbled with his mouthful.

"na, I'm good. Hey thanks again for the shirt."

" No prob and if I'm practicing this whole "nice" thing might as well be thorough." He answered and continued eating. Gosh this was awkward, I needed to say something.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I grabbed the remote and he nodded. I flipped through channels and found When Harry met Sally was just starting, this was one of my favorite movies, I was about to change it until Chad said, "Man I haven't seen this in forever!" and came and plopped next to me , our backs against the bed's head board.

"You've seen this before?" I asked in disbelief.

"Of course, who hasn't." We continued to watch in silence. I could feel the tension and my heart beating in my throat. By this time he had changed position to where he lay on his stomach on the foot of the bed. I yawned real loud.

"Ok," he reached for a pillow, "you take the bed and I'll take the couch." I was tired but how was is supposed to fall asleep with Chad Dylan Cooper sleeping in the same room not but 10 feet away from me and without watching the entire movie,

"No your fine, stay. I'm not going to sleep yet. Or at least until after the movie finishes."

"Ok, just tell me when." We continued to watch but somewhere around the hour mark we just started talking about our shows and the TV just became a faint hum in the background.

CPOV

The movie finished, Sonny and I have stayed chatting late into the night. Its taken me all night, but I've finally convinced myself to tell her how I feel,

"Sonny?" I asked

"Uh-huh." She said groggily, laying in her side, her back to me.

"I just wanted to say sorry, I know this wasn't what you would've wanted to happen today- with Devon and all."

"That's not your fault," she yawned. A minute passed in silence, it was now or never, "Well I'm glad you decided to stay with me after all, but what I'm trying to say is..... Sonny? Wait are you awake?"

No response, I'll take that as a no. I moved her to where she had a pillow and was covered with a blanket, turned off the TV and made a bed of the couch. I was so ready to tell her, figures this would happen to me though.

"Oh well" I yawned and drifted into unconsciousness.


THE NEXT MORNING


SPOV

I woke up to a knock on the door, Chad was still fast asleep. I quietly got up to answer the door before it woke him. The clock said it was about 11:45 am, so I wondered what time we had actually gone to sleep at. The last thing I remember is Chad getting all serious and apologizing. Did I imagine that, Chad never apologizes to other people. But if I remember correctly I got quite a few apologies from him last night. Last night was.... the only word I could think of was , Bizarre. And that left Devon. I would run into him sooner or later, and that was something I didn't want to think about. Another knock on the door, I hurried to it, turned the lock and opened to see a perky blonde in a hotel uniform pushing a cart.

"Good morning Mr. Cooper, here's some breakfast courtesy of the hotel, the newspaper, oh and today's new Tween Weekly." She finally looked away from the cart and looked up to see me. "Oh do I have the right room?"

"Yup this is it." I answered

"Oh, ok." She looked into the room, hoping to see a glimpse of Chad , and then she totally gave me the stinkeye and left.

I rolled the cart in, poured a cup of coffee, grabbed the Tween Weekly and went out to the terrace. I heard stirring inside the room, I turned to see Chad with a cup of coffee in his hand, walking towards me. Chad in the morning was probably the funniest thing ever, his always perfect blonde hair stuck up in all different directions. But I have to admit It was cutewhen mixed with his gleaming eyes and dazzling smile. It sent butterflies to my stomach.

"Good morning Sunshine." He pulled up A chair and sat with me . I couldn't contain my laughter,

"Good morning to you too, and uh - nice hair."

"Yeah , I know." He said jokingly, "You been up long?"

"No, I woke up when they brought the cart a few minutes ago." He nodded and sipped his coffee and looked out to the beautiful city. I returned to reading Tween Weekly and realized there was a picture on the cover of last night's party.

"The party is in Tween Weekly!!" He got up and stood behind my chair to read over my shoulder. I could feel my heart pounding in my throat.

"Wow it made the cover" he said, "go to page 26." I did as he said, once I got there, it was a 2 page spread of pictures of people arriving, there was even a picture of me and Devon on the stairs, I really don't remember people taking these pictures last night. There were pictures of all the decor before the party, and then what the place ended up looking like after. The place had been trashed, chairs, china and even tables lying broken in pieces on the floor.

" What happened after we left?" I said in disbelief. Chad began reading The article out loud;

"The McKenzie Falls annual party was last night. What began as a classy affair quickly ended up in scandal and ruins. At 1:30 am the cops were called on the possibility of drug deals going on at the star-studded party. They arrived to find not just drugs, but underage drinking. The night ended in a drug bust that currently has The Falls' Portlyn Vega accused of being a primary dealer. Condor studios is going to have some major explaining to do.

But In the midst of all this turmoil, Hollywood's resident bad boy, Chad Dylan Cooper, was no where to be found. An inside source says He was seen with So Random's very own Sonny Munroe getting into an elevator and heading up to his hotel room for the night. Could they be a couple? Will their union end the long rivalry between their hit shows? Only time will tell, reporting for Tween Weekly this has been Santiago Heraldo."

CPOV

"Wow I can't believe Portlyn was the one dealing last night." I couldn't believe that my friend since preschool had fallen in so far with drugs and drinking, I walked to the rail on the terrace.

" I could've been in a lot of trouble last night if you hadn't invited me up here." She came to stand right next to me.

I turned to look at her, "no problem, and for the record I'm glad you came with me last night." A smile appeared on her face, "Sonny, there's something I've been trying to tell you-" and of course my phone rang interrupting me.

"Aren't you going to get that?" she asked, I nodded and walked back into the room to get my phone, it was my agent calling.

" Sandy?"

"Chad have you read the new Tween Weekly!?"

"Yes, I have."

"Your lucky you weren't there during the drug bust!! "

" Calm down, I wasn't there that's all that matters."

"Wait where are you know??" She asked

"I'm in my hotel room."

"With who...." She probed.

"Sonny Monroe," Sonny was still holding the magazine, looking out to the city basking in the sun. I was even closer to telling her this time and Sandy's timing ruined the moment.

"So what the magazine said was true! Chad you are going to have some major explaining to do to the press..." She trailed off.

"I have to go, talk to you soon Sandy."

"Chad we aren't done talking, you better not hang up on me. We have to talk damage control-"

I hung up anyway. I wasn't ready to explain what had happened to anyone.
