Here's chapter four. It's not as long as the other one or as good as the last chapter, but I tried to update soon.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Sonny paced nervously in a room outside the main part of the church that she was in. Today was her wedding day, but she had no idea who she was marrying.
"Sonny, are you sure you still want to do this?" her father asked.
"Uh, I'm not sure. I just want to talk to him," said Sonny.
"Chad?"
"Yes," she replied. That was the only person she knew—other then her dad—in this dream. Her dad walked out of the room. Sonny peaked out into the church. It was full of people. She didn't want to hurt their feelings, but she had no idea what was going on.
"Sonny?" a voice asked. Sonny looked up. "What's the matter?" Chad asked. "Are you sick?" He brushed her hair out of her face.
"No. No, I'm just really nervous," said Sonny.
"You know, it's not too late to call the wedding off." He paused, and then added, "I can just go in there and tell everyone." He didn't want to call off the wedding. He was finally marrying is dream girl. The girl he had his eye on since, like, forever. Sonny was the only girl Chad could imagine being with. But if you love someone enough, you have to let them go.
"No. I'm sorry, it's just that—that I can't believe its happening. I'm going to get married. I think I'm ready," said Sonny, suddenly smiling.
"Yeah...me, too. I'll be the one at the end of the end on the isle." Chad smiled and left.
After the ceremony, then came the kiss. It was cute and romantic, but got ruined.
"Kiss her, kiss her good," said the best man. Sonny groaned.
"Don't worry, on our honeymoon we'll be doing a lot more then kissing." Chad winked slyly.
Sonny woke up screaming. This dream was even worse then before. She was going to, well, she just married Chad. Ugh. She could imagine what that would be like. He had all these rules about himself. He had to look better then anyone. Oh, living with him would be worse then playing the game of Survivor.
But today was Tuesday: The beach day.
No way in hell was she wearing her bikini. She did want Chad looking at her in some weird way. But he wasn't because now he had that new blond hoe. She, Sonny, was going to were a simple one-piece. It was green with bright yellow dots all over it. It was simple, cute, and appropriate for a girl her age. Well, most girls wore bikini, but not Sonny. She was different. She wanted to be different. But only if Chad would open his eyes and see that. Why couldn't he see that she was different? Why could he see that she wasn't after anything other then himself?
"Sonny, are you all right?" asked her mother.
"Yeah...," Sonny said sadly.
Connie didn't like to see Sonny like this. She was never this upset, especially when it came to boys...particularly Chad.
"Sonny, don't lose sleep over him. I know you like him...a lot...but, honey, you just have to let him go," Connie said sympathetically.
"Mom, what are you saying? All I want is Chad to be friends with me. Sure, I like him...but he doesn't care about me...at all. And I'm over that, okay? I'm over Chad. I don't like him anymore."
That was far from being true. In fact, she still loved him. It sometimes pained her to think of him with that other girl. It was annoying...very annoying. She thought he liked her. Not whoever that other girl is. They used to have moments. They used to get along. They used to do a lot of things, but they are over now. She changed. He changed. People in general change. She hated change. But some change was good. She moved from Wisconsin to Hollywood. She had that stomachache again. The one she got when she thought of Wisconsin, and her old life. She looked around her room. It was small and cluttered. Her room in Wisconsin was big and still cluttered, but she had time to clean it up. Now she had no time. It was all work and no free time. And she didn't want her mother to go through her stuff. The last time she did that...well...she's still looking for her favorite pair of socks.
Sonny crawled out of bed. Ass—she meant, Chad wasn't coming to get her this time. Sonny was going to pick up the girls and go to the beach, Chad would meet them there. Though, Sonny was pretty sure he wouldn't come at all, since him being all to cool for them. Sonny shrugged off the thought and went to get ready.
The Weather Channel said it was supposed to be eighty-two degrees with party sunny skies in the late after noon. It was perfect time to go to the beach. Sonny loved the water. She hadn't been to the beach before with friends, so it was a little exciting.
She didn't make stuff to eat. She just bought stuff. It was easier just to do that. On that list was: cookies, chips, and Kook-Aid. She had packed: sunscreen, a big beach blanket, an umbrella, a Frisbee, and a beach-ball. That had to be enough for a day at the beach, right?
The drive was to the beach was horrible. Zora and Dakota kept fighting about something stupid. And Dakota was mad at Sonny for picking Zora up first. She knew she was going to have a pounding headache my tonight. Maybe tomorrow would be better. They would be going to the movies. Sonny and Chad could separate Zora and Dakota so they didn't kill each other.
Sonny parked and found the perfect spot to sit down. She was going to wait for Chad to come before going off to play with the girls. She waited and waited until she saw him come sauntering over to the blanket. He had on shorts, and sleeveless shirt, and sunglasses.
"Hey," he greeted, taking off the glasses that now were hanging on his shirt. "Have you seen Thera?"
Of course, the first thing he asks his about his girlfriend. Not "Hi, how are you?" or "Isn't the weather nice?" It's "Have you seen that slut I'm dating?"
"No. I didn't expect her to be here."
"Yeah, I invited her." Chad looked around the beach. "Oh, there she is." He walked over to his new girlfriend with the classic CDC smile.
I hate that pretty boy, Sonny thought. She watched him talk to Thera in her very small bikini. He was flirting with her, all right. She turned her head towards that water, and saw a familiar face. She smirked. Chad would love this.
"Hayden Andrews? Is that you?" she called over to a brown haired boy.
The boy turned around before answering. "Oh, look who it is!" he said, smiling. "It's Sonny Munroe!"
"Yeah," she replied. "It's so good to see you. I'm so glad you found a job after Chad fired you."
"Yeah, he's protective of you, isn't he?"
"Not anymore. To tell you the truth, he—"
"Baby, what are you doing talk to this guy?" Chad asked.
"I'm sorry, but I thought you were talking to your girlfriend. Now, let me talk to my real friend," Sonny said coldly, turning to face Hayden.
Chad glared. He hated this guy. He would always hate this guy. This guy should die after what he did to Sonny. Chad walked away.
"Are you sure he's not protective of you still?" asked Hayden, watching Chad walk away.
"Oh, I'm sure. I don't really care about him anymore. For all I care, he could just go and die."
"Nice."
Sonny sighed. "So...how's your new job working out?"
"I'm getting paid more, which is nice. But I wouldn't have this job if it wasn't for you."
"Do you mean, I wouldn't have this job since I kissed you, or because I helped you find the job?"
"Oh, the helping me get another job choice," he said hurriedly.
"Oh. Okay. You're welcome. Chad used to be so dramatic back then. He still is now, though. But, whatever, it's nice talking to you," said Sonny. "I'll see you around."
Hayden said his good-bye and went back to his family.
Sonny walked over to Zora, to help build the sandcastle she was making. Dakota sat in the sun, tanning. And Chad sat watching Sonny and flirting with Thera.
Sonny couldn't stand to see Chad with that girl anymore. The blond girl was just your regular slut that you could find anywhere. Sonny was one-of-a-kind. As she watched Chad flirt, Sonny grew jealous. She knew that she shouldn't get jealous of a slut. But—but it was just so aggravating.
"Two can play this game," commented Sonny. She walked right up to Chad and threw her arms around him. "Hey, Chad, I have to find that thing—you know the one thing that I left in the car. I'll be back. So just watch the girls."
Chad looked at her wondering what the hell she was talking about. What thing did she leave in the car?
Sonny walked up to his car and went digging through it. She needed a box of something looked like—perfect! It was the kind of box she wanted. She walked in front of the car, and yelled, "Hey, Chad"—Chad whipped his head around to his her holding some box—"I found the box of condoms we were looking for last night! Baby, if you would have just looked a little we wouldn't have had to gone to the store. We could have just been home and started off there—at home." She added the "at home" quickly. People had to know where they were supposedly start to have there intercourse
People started to watch Sonny. Mothers tried covering there children's ears. Chad was embarrassed for not only himself but for Sonny, too. He had no idea why she was doing this. Was she jealous? He dropped hint after hint that he liked her and she took no interest. But now that he has a girlfriend, she is acting jealous. Crazy Random.
"What—what is she talking about?" said Chad's new girlfriend.
"Nothing," Chad replied quickly, too quickly.
"Who is that?"
"That's my psychopathic foster sister. Suddenly, after mouths of living together, she thinks we're, you know, a couple or whatever. I mean, there's nothing going on. Alison is as crazy as they come. But you still have to love her...she's one-of-a-kind." Chad shook his head. She had no idea what she had ahead of her. She was going to see the rant of Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Do I have to like her?"
"No."
"Okay, good. She sounds a little...a little weird..."
"You have no idea." Chad paused. "I have to go talk to her." Chad walked up to Sonny. He was furious, livid, or any other way you could explain the look on his face. "What the hell, Sonny!" Chad said to Sonny. "I'm trying to go on a normal date here."
"What do you mean 'date'? This week was supposed to a week to bond to get to know one another," said Sonny.
"Well, I haven't had a girlfriend in months."
"People go years and sometimes lifetimes without marrying."
"Yeah, they're called Catholic priests and nuns."
"Please, Chad. Work with me," begged Sonny.
"Fine, I'll work with you. You stay out of my way with my date and I, and I'll never ever bother you again."
"Good."
"Good."
"No, it's not good. It's terrible, actually."
"Why is it terrible?"
"Because this is supposed to be a team bonding—"
"It's not team bonding. Actually, we're not a team. I don't want to be related to you at all."
"The truth is: I don't care about you, either. But we have to do this...together. And if you would help, it would be great. I just want to be friends. Is that too hard to ask?"
"No...I guess not. But, Sonny, don't you see? I just want to have some fun before she has to leave."
"Maybe she could come and sit with us," offered Sonny, trying to make some progress.
"I'll see if she wants to." Chad went over to her. Sonny watched Chad's conversation. The girl nodded and walked over with Chad to the beach blanket.
"Hi," Sonny greeted warmly.
"My name is Thera," said the girl, and sat down on Chad's lap. Thera started to comb through Chad's hair. "You are so beautiful."
"No. You are."
"No. You are."
The two started to banter back and forth. Sonny couldn't take this. It was supposed to be her and Chad bantering back and forth
"Hey, I hate to break up the little love fest. But I was wondering if you would want some cookies?" offered Sonny, smiling, even though it felt painful to do so.
"No. Do you know what that does to your body?" asked Thera. Thera looked like she was in her late teens with blond hair, long legs, and a slim body, any girl would be jealous of her. She was the perfect definition of a "head turner."
"If you eat too many you would get heavy," guessed Sonny.
"Duh, and if I want to be an actress I can't get heavy."
"You want to be an actress?" Chad asked, surprised.
"Yes, all my life."
Sonny ate her cookie miserably. Who cares what Thera—what kind of name is that anyway?—thought about her eating a cookie that she loved. She could let Thera control her life. Look at the slut, she didn't even have a job, but she was mocking a person who did. Well, that was kind of mean of Sonny to think that. It was a slim chance that she would have ever make it to show business, but she did, and she was very grateful for it.
"Who's this?" Dakota's voice interrupted, she had finally come back from tanning.
"This"—Sonny tone was sharp and bitter—"this is Chad's new girlfriend."
Thera looked at Dakota. "Hi," said Thera, not caring to look at the young girl.
"You could say more," Sonny said coldly.
"I'm busy!"
"Doing what? Oh, wait, you're making plans to do Chad." Sonny smirked. Chad glared.
"Sonny." Chad's voice was sickeningly sweet. "What about you go play Frisbee with Zora?"
"Okay, fine." Sonny grabbed the disk and walked over to Zora. "Zora!" called Sonny. "Would you like to my Frisbee with me?"
"Sure." Zora moved, so her back was facing Chad and Thera. This gave Sonny a wicked idea. Sonny lined herself across from Zora and threw the disk at Thera's head. Sonny smiled when it hit the girl's head, but quickly tried to hide her enjoyment of annoying the girl. Dakota just laughed at Thera. Zora didn't do anything but looked blankly. She obviously didn't get the joke.
"Baby, I have to go," said Thera, frowning. Her head was throbbing from the Frisbee hitting her head.
"Well, isn't that just too bad," said Sonny, she didn't even try to seem sympathetic. She walked up to the beach blanket. Chad and Thera glared. But Sonny could really have cared less. She didn't want Chad with this slut. She didn't want Chad with anybody other then her.
"Yes, it is." Thera stood up. "Bye, babe," she said to Chad, placing a steamy kiss on his lips. Chad was taken aback by her sudden interest to kiss him like that, but quickly kissed her back.
Sonny gagged at their interaction. Chad pulled away abruptly.
"Sonny, are you okay?" he asked, thinking she was choking or something.
"Yeah, yeah, totally fine...thanks," said Sonny, blushing at his thoughtfulness. He smiled. It felt like a wrench to her stomach. He smiled at her, yet he was dating Thera. Why was he the way that he was? Life can be so confusing.
She watched Thera get up and swing her hips as she walked. What a ho. Sonny sat across from Chad.
"Hey," Sonny started slowly, "I'm sorry I've been acting weird lately...I haven't really been in a good mood, and I'm taking it out on you and your girlfriend." These words seemed strangely familor.
Chad looked up. All he did was shrug.
Sonny felt like crying now. He was mad at her. She could tell by his body language. Now she was crying.
Chad noticed this, and came over and wrapped his arm around her. "Sonny," he murmured, "its okay. We all have those bad days. I've been a jerk for the past couple of days, too."
"I know. I've just been really stressed about making this a good, and hoping nobody kills another." She bit her lip. "Specifically: Dakota and Zora."
Chad groaned. "They're not going to kill each other. I think they could be great friends if this week works out all right."
"But...what about us?" asked Sonny, brushing away the tears.
Chad hesitated. "I think we'll work out fine." He paused. "Do you want me not to invite Thera to the movie tomorrow?"
"Yes." Sonny didn't even stop to think about it.
"Okay."
Sonny smiled, but froze.
"What's the matter?" asked Chad.
"I'm supposed to be watching the girls. Where are they?" Sonny started to look around.
"Sonny, calm down. They'll be fine," said Chad.
"Oh, yeah, totally fine, until one of them drowns the other," Sonny said cynically.
"Look, there's Zora right there." Chad pointed at a soaking wet Zora. Zora looked livid.
"I hate Dakota," growled Zora.
"Why?" asked Sonny.
"Because she tried to drown me!"
"Told yah," said Sonny, turning to Chad.
"Fine," Chad said. He hated to admit when Sonny was right and he was wrong.
"I think it's time to go."
"Where? We have most of the day left to 'bond,'" said Zora.
"Maybe we can have dinner together if you guys don't kill one another," said Sonny.
"Oh, I have to take a rain check. You see, I promised I would take Thera out to dinner with me. I'm probably going to sign a movie deal," said Chad.
Sonny felt her heart sink. "That's—that's okay. I still have the girls. Maybe I'll have a dinner at home. Right, Zora?" said Sonny. Zora mumbled in agreement.
"Okay, good. That's all sorted out. I better leave, but I'll help you clean up," said Chad, packing the food into the basket.
Sonny nodded. "I'll get Dakota." Sonny found Dakota standing alone in the water, running her fingers on the water. "Dakota," Sonny called. "It's time to go home!"
Dakota look up and sighed. She came up to Sonny. "Why?" she asked.
"We need to go home. I'm tired and Chad as to leave," Sonny said calmly.
"Oh..." Dakota paused. "Does it have to do with that girl?"
"Thera? Yes, it has to do with her."
"Ugh. She's a jerk. She's so mean to you and me."
"I know, right? I'm so happy someone else notices that she's a jerk. Now, only if pretty boy would see that." The girls laughed. Sonny smiled. Maybe she and Dakota could be friends. When they reached the place where the blanket used to lay, Chad said a quick good-bye, and Sonny was left alone with the girls.
"Can I ask you guys something?" asked Zora.
"Sure, anything," said Sonny.
"What's up with that blond girl?"
"I have no idea! She's so stuck up. I hate her."
"She is stuck up!" Dakota agreed. "I mean, I think the highlight of the afternoon was you throwing that Frisbee at her head. I have to give you props."
"Thanks." Sonny smiled and walked to her car. This didn't turn out as bad as she thought it was going to.
In the car the whole conversation was about Thera, and what a diva she was. The girls made bets for how long Chad was going to date her. They agreed he wasn't going to last more then a week, because none of his relationships lasted longer then that.
Sonny had a huge grin on her face when she walked in the door.
"You look happy," her mother commented.
"I think that was the best time I had in a long time." With that, Sonny went to take a shower. Today was a good day, and she could wait for what tomorrow would bring.
Chad picked up Thera on time, unlike his usually "fashionably late" status.
On the way to the restaurant, Thera won't shut up about the fact that a famous director was going to be there. She mostly wanted to show him her acting skills, and maybe, just maybe, she could get a part in her own movie.
When they arrived, Chad was nervous as hell. He wanted this part. He needed this part. This part was going to be the break through from his childhood show to an adult film. After this, people would take him seriously. Instead of just thing that he was cocky, big ego teenager. To his horror, the director was already there.
He walked up to the man and said, "I'm so sorry, sir. I meant to be on time, but the traffic was crazy..." He knew it was too late to get the part now.
"Oh, no, my boy, it's fine, really. I know how traffic is in this town," the director said, smiling. Chad smiled weakly.
"Oh, this is my girlfriend, Thera," said Chad, when he noticed that she was next to him.
"Hi," she said. The man nodded.
After taking their seats, the director, Michael Winger, started to get down to business.
"Now, Mr. Cooper, I want to know about your family and friend and life," he said, staring at Chad.
"Well, I'm nineteen-years-old. I'm from New Jersey. I moved this Hollywood as soon as I was cast for a part in the Goody Gang. Since 2005 I've been starring on Mackenzie Falls. I've been in a few movies before. I have won some Tween Choice awards. I'm an only child. My parents died when I was younger, so I live with my aunt and uncle now. But I call them mom and dad after they gotten custody of me. That's why my name changed. I can't think about anything else right now, but I hope this helps."
Winger nodded, taking everything Chad had said in. "You seem like you have an interesting life. But I'm sorry for your loss."
"Oh, thank you, sir."
"Call me Michael." He paused a moment. "I have a question: What ever came about your relationship with Miss. Sonny Munroe?"
"Relationship?" Chad choked on his water. "I was never in a relationship with Sonny. I mean, we are great friends and all, but never like that. Sure, we went a date once, I was her date to prom...but we never dated. She's just a really great friend." Chad looked off. "She's a really great person. She as opened my eyes on a lot of things. I don't know where I would be without her. I have to say, she really changed my perspective on life."
Thera was shocked. He said Sonny was his sister. Not some he's-not-going-to-admit lover! As much as she wanted to embarrass him, she needed him to get the part. After that, that didn't talk to him the rest of the night. Chad noticed this, and when they were in the car he asked, "Is something the matter?"
"'Is something the matter?' Is something the matter? Oh, my God. Something is the matter. You never told me you liked Sonny. You said she was your sister! I can't believe you would lie to me." Thera shook her head. "I want to go home."
It was awkward in the car. He had said a lot of things about Sonny that he never said before. He doesn't know what got into him. But it felt great to get it off his chest.
He had arrived at Thera's house, but she didn't leave.
"I want to know. Do you have feelings for Sonny?" she asked.
Chad looked down at his hands and said something he never thought he would say. "Yes," he answered quietly, looking at his hands. "Yes, I still have feelings for Sonny."
With that, Thera got out without a word.
Alright, how did you like it? By the way, you guys were awesome! Six reviews! If you can keep that up, I'll be one happy girl. :) My goal is six reviews or more.

Spoiler:
If you think that's the last time you're going to see Thera...well, she's going to be in it for the next few chapters.
