Chapter 6- Need
I am so sorry, I am becoming terrible at continuous writing. Sorry for the long update waits. I have been so busy with Studying for Finals coming up, along with planning a friends Birthday party! Its very stressful. I know this chapter is shorter then the rest of them, and I am sorry about that. But!!! It is Jam Packed with information!!
Disclaimer: I dont own Sonny with a Chance or anything related to it. Nor do I Own Gossip Girl!
I was sitting next to the boy who held an interest to me, I wasn't sure how to explain it, it was like a gravitational pull; I was being pulled toward him, but I was able to fight against it.
It was getting harder to resist him though. As Oscar Wilde had once said, I can resist everything but temptation and Chad was becoming more tempting every second. We were parked in his car; the top still down, a light breeze was ruffling my curled hair and giving my arms light goose bumps. At least that's what I kept telling myself, that it was the insignificant breeze rather then Chad sitting next to me, his body heat radiating off of him.
We were waiting for the movie to start, it was Grease, a movie I had seen hundreds of times and could probably recite all of the lines, but would refrain from it so Chad would think I was weird.
The Snack Shop song was on, and Chad turned to me. "Hey, I know we just ate. I was going to get a Soda. Would you want a Soda and candy?"
"Yeah, but I don't know what kind. Mind if I come with?"
"Of course not." He said and he started to get out of the car.
I opened the door and started walking around and meet him.
"I would've opened the door for you if you had waited." He said.
"I know, but I could handle it once tonight."
He laughed and started walking toward the concession area. I fell in step beside him and asked, "What candy are you getting?"
"Hm, probably something sour. It's one of the rewards I give myself. You?"
"I have no idea, all sweets are my weakness." I said and laughed.
"Well, I could buy you one of everything if you want."
"No, that is quite alright. You know, that just cause you have money doesn't mean you have to flash it around all the time. I would've been fine if we got fast food."
"Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do fast food." He scoffed.
I rolled my eyes, "Okay, whatever."
We got to the snacks and Chad immediately picked out Sour Patch Kids, I was looking around when I spotted a box of Gob stoppers, one of my favorite candies. I smiled and pointed to them. Chad bought us our candy and each our own medium soda, Dr. Pepper for me, Sprite for him.
"I thought you would get water." I said as we walked back to his car.
"They didn't have any lemon water." He responded with a smirk.
We got in the car and the song was finishing up and the movie was about to start.
"I hope this is an okay choice."
"This is a fine choice." He said
"You sure? Cause you can pick something else, a newer movie."
"Sonny, relax. Grease is a classic."
I smiled and did relax. I got comfortable and opened my candy just as the movie began.
We were watching and it was about thirty minutes in, when Sandy was eating lunch and singing about her summer love. I started to sing in my head when I saw movement to my left. I glanced over and saw Chad mouthing the words to Danny Zuko's singing. I smiled but tried to not pay attention to him so he wouldn't stop. It was cute really, added to his charm.
Chad turned to stare at me and smiled. "Liking the movie?" he asked in a hush.
I nodded slowly trying to avoid his gaze it always got me. "Yeah."
He waited for a few moments, still staring. I finally looked up into his alluring eyes and couldn't help that my body shivered. Chad shrugged off his jacket and handed to me. I blushed and slipped it on. It smelled just the way he did. I mumbled 'thanks' and went back to watching the movie. I shook my head, No, this was not happening. I don't know where our relationship stands but we argue not flirt. No, I repeated to myself again. No.
Once it was over, I smiled widely and turned to Chad. "Did you like it?"
"Yeah, it was perf-" He started to say but was cut off by a few high-pitched squeals. Girls ran to the driver's side and started saying "OhMyGod" over and over again. They seemed about thirteen years old, One of their mom's were parked in a van a few cars away. She was shaking her head and when I looked at her, she gave me an apologetic smile. I smiled at her and waved my hand dismissively.
I looked back and Chad and he was smiling uncomfortably and was signing a picture of himself from a magazine they had. The little red head glanced up and saw me. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head and screamed, "OhMyGod! Are you guys on a date?"
Chad answered rapidly and said "Yes, and I was just about to take her home. Sorry."
All the girls' smiles fell but came back a moment later. One said, "Well, you make a cute couple. Plus I get to know first. I cant wait to tell the girls at school. Bye!" And she ran off.
I laughed softly and said, "Why don't we get out of here before you get us mobbed."
Chad started his car and slowly drove out, and got back on the road to head back to our studios. I glanced at the clock it was almost 10:30 PM, I was sure I wouldn't be late.
"Can you believe those little girls'? So annoying." He said.
"Hey. Don't say that. You are probably their biggest crush." I said.
"So, they are aggravating. All of them, who just seem to fall over me. It is frustrating."
"Whoa, Chad. Calm down, Its not even anything. This is what you signed up for when you decided to be an actor."
"Sonny, Just Shut Up!" Chad loudly said.
I cringed in my seat and was thankful to be almost home. This was weird, Chad was never directly mean to me, at least not purposefully or being serious. We banter wittily, back and forth but this was different. His voice was harsh and cruel.
As we were pulling into the studio when Chad spoke again, his voice like ice. "Why do you always make me feel terrible about things that never used to bother me before you came?" he pulled up next to my studio.
I looked back him, wondering where the guy before had gone. I opened the door and stepped one foot out and turned back. "You feel bad, because deep down you do care. I just bring it out of you. And I don't know what's gotten into you, but I don't want to find out." I said and stepped out and walking inside. I got the entire way to my room when I realized I still had on his jacket. I took it off and crumpled it in a ball and threw it into the corner. I closed my eyes as I locked the door and realized I smelled of him. I groaned frustrated and walked to the bathroom, kicking off my shoes on the way and took a long scalding hot shower, trying to rub him and the night away from me. I slowly got out, threw on a large 'Wisconsin cheese' shirt, basketball shorts and climbed into bed.
I couldn't fall asleep right away, I just kept replaying tonight's evens over and over again in my head. It was exhausting trying to keep up.
Eventually I feel asleep. It was a little past ten thirty AM when mooing woke my up. One moo, a second moo, third moo and it finally stopped.
I rolled over and went to fall back asleep but the mooing started again. I ignored it, covering my head with a pillow till it stopped. The third cycle it started to moo I finally begrudgingly got up and grabbed my phone that was over on the floor.
"Hello?" I answered irritated, not bothering to look at the Caller ID.
"Sonny." His voice was hard, unemotional.
"Oh, Hi Andrew." I said softening up. I had treated him badly at the restaurant last night, and for what Stupid Chad, Stupid Dylan, and Stupid Cooper.
"We need to talk." He said, still detached.
"That's a good Idea. Can we do it in like two hours, I was still sleeping."
"Oh, late night?" he asked cruelly.
"No, just tired. See you in my room in two hours." I said emphasizing two.
I hung up, tossed my phone on the chair and slowly crawled back into bed, sleeping for the next hour and forty-five minutes.
I woke up, feeling refreshed and walked to the bathroom. I looked kind of terrible with my messy hair and over sized shirt, but it was Andy so I didn't care. I brushed my teeth and sat down turned on the TV. It happened to be Mackenzie Falls; I quickly went to my Tivo and pressed play to watch the latest episode of Gossip Girl.
I was watching Blair and Chuck argue when I heard a loud pounding on the front door so I got up and opened it, to see a very pissed off looking Andy. I slid to the side so he could come in and shut the door. I sat back down to where I was sitting before and waited for him to stop pacing back and forth. Finally he walked over and sat down next to me.
"What were you thinking? I haven't seen you for how long and when I do come, you decide to go on a date with the Teen sensation and jackass extraordinaire that is Chad Dylan Cooper?"
I sighed, "It wasn't a date. He was making amends with me. I don't know what I was thinking though." I looked down.
"Before this, we, go any further I have to know. Do you like him?" he asked.
I pursed my lips and thought deep down. When I looked back at Andrew he seemed so devastated, as if waiting for the blow that would bring him to his knees. So I did what I told myself I would never do to him.
"No, I don't like Chad."
I Lied.
His eyes lightened up and his mouth slowly widened into his half smile I loved. He grabbed the hand that I had on my knee and intertwined our fingers.
"You don't know how glad I am to hear that."
"Me too, so you forgive me for not really doing anything wrong."
"Only if you forgive me for making a scene last night." A slow blush crept up his neck in embarrassment.
"Yeah, don't worry about it." I said and smiled. "I don't have anywhere to be, want to watch Gossip Girl with me? I will restart it."
"I will do anything with you." He leaned down and kissed my cheek lightly.
I Smiled and restarted the show, leaning back against his chest and got comfortable.
Throughout the first half of the show, I had to explain who was who, and who was dating whom. He seemed to slowly get it. His phone rang as I was fast forwarding through a commercial, he glanced at it and ignored the call and put the phone on the coffee table.
That reminded me, "Hey Andy. The other day when I was going to your room I heard you on the phone." His body tensed under mine. I wasn't sure what to do, so I lied again. "I was pretty sure I heard you say Mom so I didn't want to interrupt, I want you to say hi for me next time you talk." He relaxed and kissed the top of my head.
"Oh, course babe."
I knew it wasn't his mom. No one called his or her mom babe but who ever it was seemed to make Andy tense. I guess I would have to do some sneaking.
"Hey, want to do me a huge favor?" I asked sweetly.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Go to the cafeteria and get me a frozen Yogurt, Please." I pouted my lips and he sighed and stood up.
I Stood up too and gave him a kiss and slowly backed him to the door, to make sure he forgot his phone.
He wrapped his hands around my waist and I couldn't help but think that I didn't love the way he held me half as much as I loved it when Chad did.
I pushed myself away and breathed heavily. I patted his face and he seemed dazed as he walked out the door. It was nice to know I had that effect on him.
I ran back and picked up his phone, and it said 'Missed call'. I checked to see who it was, and sure enough it was from a Victoria Postal. I knew her, she was a stuck up snob from Wisconsin who was lusted after by every boy in the school, plus she hated me.
I groaned and shut the phone and put it back where it was, whatever it had to do with her, it wasn't good.
I started to chew on my thumbnail, a bad nervous habit I had since forever, and started to prepare myself to act normal.
There was a knock on the door, which I thought was weird because Andy could have just walked in. I started to laugh as I walked to the door and shouted, "You know, your making me get up for no reason. You could've just walked in." I finished as I opened the door, to see Chad looking at ease in his "School Uniform".
"I know I could've, but I wasn't sure if you would be here." He said and brushed past and sat down on the couch.
I shut the door and had to fight the urge to scream. I turned to face him and walked over, "What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean? This is our thing remember? We just show up at the others door, unannounced, uninvited."
"Chad, I don't want you here." I said.
"Of course you do Sonny." He said, and then looked at the TV, "Gossip Girl? I love Chuck; I try and personify him." He said looking back at me.
I held back my smile; I didn't want him to know how cute I thought him watching Gossip Girl was.
He looked back at me, and smiled, "Not wearing the same type of outfit I have seen you in recently, huh?"
I blushed and crossed my arms, thinking that the last times he saw me were in my shorts and Cami or the dress, while I walked over to my bedside and grabbed my deep purple silky robe was and slipped it on.
"Again, what are you doing her?" I said while I tied a tight not around my waist.
"Like I said before, to see you."
"And like I said before, I don't want you here. So I think you should go"
"Why?" he asked.
"Chad, last night, remember?"
He started to look uncomfortable, and said "Listen Sonny, I am sorry. I am completely ashamed with the way I behaved. I wasn't acting like myself."
"Are you sure that wasn't the real you?" I asked bitterly.
"Around everyone else, that is me, with you, not a chance."
"I don't know how to respond to that." I whispered earnestly.
"Forgive, that's all you have to do."
I thought about that for a moment, trying to decipher if what he said was honest or he was acting. I couldn't decide and I didn't want to. So I told him, "No Chad. I can't handle your mood swings, I can't handle what ever 'this' is." I made a gesture between us. "I'm sorry Chad, but I can't handle you." I turned away from him, but not before seeing his face go to complete devastation.
I saw him out of the corner of my eye slowly stand up and run his hands through his hair. "Sonny." He said and made a step toward me.
I couldn't help but cringe; he saw but took another step closer. "Please Sonny."
I held my breath as I waited for him to say something else, willing myself not to think of anything else, especially not Andrew.
He opened his mouth to say something but shut it a second later before opening it again, almost as if having an internal debate with himself. When he did speak he spook swiftly and quickly; the words jumbling together. "I can't help but think that you are the only one who understands me. I can be myself around you, the real me. I had lost myself, but then you showed up; you made me remember the real me." He took a deep breath before he continued on, slower this time. "I am afraid, more like terrified, that if I stop talking to you, if I stop being near you, I will revert back to my old ways. I think I need you Sonny Monroe."
I inhaled deeply and fought off the tears that were swimming along my eyelids.
That was the sweetest thing that had ever been said to me, or about me. I wasn't sure what to say to him. How could I tell someone who just said they need me, that I had gone back to the semi-ex?
I turned back to him and tried to keep my face neutral, "Chad." I said softly. "I honestly don't know what you want with me."
"I just want you to not lose faith in me Sonny."
"Truly, I don't know if I can do that. I can't handle you Chad. It's too much. Way too much." I said.
He looked at me; his formerly piercing blue eyes now seemed clouded, darker. Angrier even.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the doorknob turned and Andrew walked in holding two frozen yogurts and saw the scene in front of him. His expression changed from content to severely livid.
Sorry again everyone!!!! Hope you like it. Please read and Review. If people didn't, I wouldn't continue on. Tell me what you like and don't. Or what you want to happen!!!
