'Look, the summer's almost over, and once fall comes back to the Falls, I need to be free.' That be my creative way of telling you I will be updating less frequently, now that the summer's over and school has begun. :(
Well, I've had my pasta now, so I feel better about that! :D
And hey, I was right about the whole age jump thing! 22 and 21. I love it when I'm right ;P
Now It's Our World
Chapter 4 - Oh My Pasta!
Chad's POV
Well, I guess I better go see what the idiot, Aaron, wants. The sooner I do that, the sooner he leaves! And the sooner I get my pasta. I need to go find a shirt first, though. That back there was just uncomfortable, and there's absolutely no other way to put it. Besides, CDC's six-pack doesn't need that much showing off, even though I've been voted sexiest actor by a whole load of shows and stuff, and some dirty magazine…four years running. I swear they'd have done it before those four years, but it was some age thing that (very thankfully) stopped them. Yeah, I'm hot, but it was the same magazine that wanted to ruin my dignity last year with that letter. Urgh, that was just beyond horrible… And I'm not forgetting to mention the time some crazy fangirls attacked me and ripped my clothes apart. That was actually slightly painful. Have you ever had brand new, custom fit, starchy, papery, designer denim SPS-causingly tight jeans torn off of you in shreds? I doubt it. Well, it's happened to the CDC. I'm just that loved; what can I say?
So, I wander around the house, and pull on the first t-shirt I see that I know for sure to be mine. I then walk back to the kitchen, where Sonny is waiting. "Come on, the villains await!" she says, in mock horror. We head back to the door, and open it.
"Greetings, evil father and gay stepbrother," I say, sounding like a posh English person. Or an alien. Or both. Sonny tries to hide her giggles, but fails.
"Look, Chad. Let me put this in a way you'll understand," Dad says slowly, as if he's talking to a little kid, "Just let Sonny come with us, and we won't do anything to hurt you. Okay?"
"Nope. It's most definitely not okay," I reply, and he glares at me angrily. Dude, lay off on the creepy staring - it's, well, creepy.
"And why not?" Aaron asks. This is a lot less uncomfortable, although he's still scaring me. And, I now want frozen yogurt. Yum. Fro-yo rules!
"Because I know why you want to take Sonny away. I know you're ruining her life, just to ruin mine. If you wanna ruin my life, take me!" I say, and everyone gasps, very dramatically. And I'm talking Mackenzie Falls dramatic.
"Ah, gladly!" Dad says, as he and Aaron grin evilly, "But I'd like you to be aware of someone else's presence too." What is he on about?
"Who?" Sonny asks, before I have the chance to say anything.
"Come here, Connie. Oh, and you too, Tawni," Dad says, and I seriously start doubting the fact that this is reality - it feels more like an episode of Mackenzie Falls. Suddenly, Connie Munroe, Sonny's mother, is also standing on the doorstep, along with Tawni. This is only getting worse. Huh, this house has one big doorstep!
"Hi, Sonny," Connie says. Sonny looks worried.
"H-hey, Mom," she stutters.
"Well, hello there, Chaddy," Tawni says, with a flirty smile. I shudder – she scares me! But hey, props to her for that; no-one can really scare Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Okay, that's enough. If you won't let us take her, then you're coming with us instead. Come on, Chad," Aaron says, glaring at me.
"Fine. But I get to say goodbye to my beautiful wife first," I say, and turn to Sonny. She's blushing, as Connie is giving us a death glare.
"Okay." Aaron says, and I slam the door in their faces once again.
"Chad, you can't just go with them like this!" Sonny says suddenly.
"I have to. If I don't, they'll hurt you. And I can't see you get hurt. I have to go. But I'll be back soon, promise," I say, and pull her into a hug.
"He wants to kill you," she whispers.
"Dad? I know. If I don't come back, assume I'm dead. If they kill me and I don't get to see you before then, have a good life, Sonny," I sigh. I don't want to go – of course, no hero would want to surrender himself to the villains that easily. But if I convince them I can leave Sonny, without showing that I don't want to, they won't be able to hurt her. They'll probably just think they have an advantage, since I 'surrendered'. It's completely fake surrender.
"But –"
"I'm sorry," I can see the sadness in her eyes; seeing her upset hurts me, like being whacked with a dead zebra. Yes, I'm horrifically bad at similes; dead zebra, what the hell? (That was for you, MonStErScLosEt!) My point is, I can't stand to see Sonny being sad. I look away, and open the door.
"Ready?" Dad asks, glaring at me. I nod, and grab my sneakers from the shoe rack on the side, slipping my feet into them and following the villains out. I take one last look at Sonny…she's crying. Aaron and Tawni push me into the back of a van, and lock the door. Damn, this is not a place for a human to be sitting! Especially not me!
But I can't forget Sonny's face when we were leaving. She looked heartbroken. What kind of Chad-iot does she think I am now? If only she understood why I had to go with these idiots…
Ta-daaa. Well, I hope you liked that! It wasn't great, but oh well.
Peace and reviews!
