This is a really pathetic attempt at the 4th chapter and I would like to apologise beforehand to the appalling standard of this chapter and for the fact it happens to be a few moths overdue.

Sorry :/

Chad's body automatically stiffened and his glare hardened. The arm around her waist had tightened protectively and once again Sonny found herself wondering if this was the real Chad or just an act.

"Ah, how could I have not guessed that this was the idiot who claimed to be your dad?"

"Oi, watch it son…or you'll end up regretting ever getting involved with my daughter"

Involved. Sonny's dad thought she was involved with Chad. No doubt Chad was having a good private laugh at that one.

"Now there's your second mistake. There is nothing on this earth that you could possibly do to me without my very educated, very expensive lawyer finding a way to lock you up and throw away the keys. Threatening Chad Dylan Cooper is a death sentence. Your first mistake was calling me son, because thank god I don't have to put up with you for a dad. I mean, you can't remember your only daughters name never mind anyone else's"

No wonder Chad was the best actor of this generation. His little speech could have fooled anyone that he actually cared, a shame that he's only aggravated her dad who was now seeing red.

Things happened fast after that. Her dad only wasted time to mutter the few words "why you little…" finishing the sentence with a right hook that landed squarely on Sonny's cheekbone. She had automatically pushed Chad out of the way as her father aimed a very strong punch at his face. Chad Dylan Cooper didn't do bruises. And anyway she'd been here before, he couldn't hurt her anymore. Even so, tears welled up at the impact and she lifted a shaky hand to brush the bruise that was already blooming there.

The cafeteria had gone deathly silent and all eyes were focused solely on her. She stared intently at the faded yellow walls as she tried her hardest to blink away the tears. She never realised how badly decorated this place was, maybe she could talk to Marshal. She could paint it a bright green maybe? Instead of the ancient yellow that looked more like an off-white kind of colour that was meant for prison visiting rooms. The worn out chairs and tables looked like they could do with replacing. They'd seen their fair share of dramas.

"Sonny? Sonny? Hello… Sonny look at me!" Chad's voice was frantic and that alone almost pushed her back into her laughing fit. He really was a good actor.

"Same old Sonny. You've always been very clumsy haven't you darling? "

His voice was mocking. He was actually mocking her in public.

"Right, I have work to do. We have to practice our new sketch and Chad I believe your wanted at the Falls."

Now she was walking away, she was going to carry on with her day like normal because he couldn't hurt her. If she said it enough times, as her mantra, she might actually start to believe it. She was faintly aware of Tawni's heels clicking down the corridor after her. she was more aware of the slurred voice that called out from behind her

"See you later Darling"

And she heard Chad's voice rising to the challenge. He was defiantly the best actor of their generation. Shame he was going to loose that pretty face if he kept up this arguing.
