Vacation with roses: Chapter 6

Sonny's POV

A few days. That's all it took for me to fall in love with Chad. No, wait, that's how long it took for me to realize that I was and always have been in love with him.

It seemed almost too fast, but maybe because somewhere, deep inside of me, that love was going to burst out. And really soon. So yes, that's why i'm so unbelievably in love with him. I always thought I hated him. Maybe I just pretended I did, and then I started to believe it myself. I don't think any of my friends bought it, though.

"Sonny." Chad whispered in his sleep, wrapping his arms around a pillow. He squeezed it so hard I thought it would burst and feathers would go flying.

I smiled as he smiled in his sleep. Why did I ever think I hated him? Why did I ever think he was an ugly person? Not literally, though. I thought he was ugly moral-wise. He never did really care about anybody else. Other than me, of course.

It had been four days at the beach house. We were staying for two months and a half. I didn't know if we would last when we returned to work, but I hoped so. I couldn't be doubtful of our relationship.

But doubtful I was.

"Chad, wake up."

"Wha?" He mumbled groggily.

"I was thinking-"

"That's nice. Thanks for sharing Sonny you're so awesome goodnight." He babbled, then closed his eyes, which he had only opened for a second, and ignored me.

"Chad! I'm sorry that i'm interrupting your sleep. But I got an awesome idea, and I think you'll like it."

No answer.

"I think you'll really really like it."

Once again, no reply from snoring beauty.

"Chad!"

"I think you just like saying my name for fun." He finally replied, sitting up and rubbing his eyes with his three middle fingers on each hand. I waited for him to take a sip of his MacKenzie Falls water with his face plastered on it from the night stand before I spoke.

"I think we should stay here. Longer than two months."

"And a half."

"Well...I still think we should stay longer."

"Sonny," He laughed, but still looked annoyed at the same time, "we have to work. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper- MacKenzie on MacKenzie Falls. I can't just take a longer break. That's unheard of- plus I want to go back to work. I like it. I'm a star."

"And i'm not?" I shot back, completely blocking out everything else he had rambled on about.

"How is it that you take the insignificant things out of my words and make them the main topic? And did I ever say that? No."

"You implied it. The way you put the stress on 'i'm'. By putting the stress on it, you're making it seem like i'm not one." I explained, trying to control my anger for the sake of our relationship and of Chad's face.

"Sorry, i'm not the 'Master of Word Stresses'!"

"What the hell does that even mean?!"

"You tell me, since you seem to know EVERYTHING!"

"Did I ever say that?"

"You implied it." He mocked, copying me from what I had said a second ago.

"No, I didn't imply it. I didn't imply anything. See, you don't even know how to imply things either!" I yelled, hoping the neighbors wouldn't hear, but then remembering there were none.

"I don't usually make it my life goal to know how to imply things." He fumed, standing up from the bed.

"Nobody should! You should already know how to! It's basic english!" I stood up too, holding a pillow. I was ready to throw it, even though it would do absolutely no damage to him.

"In case you didn't know, i've been acting since I was four. School wasn't really an important thing then. You should know, considering you are my girlfriend."

I shut myself up before I could blurt out anything else I would regret. I dropped the pillow back on the bed and sighed.

"Look at us, we're fighting over the stupidest thing ever."

"I didn't start-"

"Chad." I sighed. "Just stop. I can't even remember what my brilliant idea was anymore, but I know it was about us. It was about trying to keep our relationship going."

"We've only been together for a couple of days." He said, sitting back down on the bed.

"I know, but I thought that when we went back to work we wouldn't last. I mean, look at us now. We're fighting just the same. Which means my idea's dumb anyways."

"Thank you for trying, Sonny, since I haven't really been. I guess I start fights too much. But hey, it's hard to change, you know?"

"Yeah."

There was a long silence, and I knew we were both thinking the same thing. It made me sad, but I knew it was the right thing to do.

"I know you're thinking what i'm thinking Chad. We can't get along as friends or as something more. But I think we're better when we're...umm...friends. If you want to consider us like that. Since we are on rival shows." I began.

"You're right."

"Yeah..."

"So....friends?"

Chad held out his hand, and ever-so-slowly I took it and shook it. So quickly we were together, and so quickly we were broken up. I guess that's just life. Life doesn't wait for anybody.

"I'm going to take a shower. I'll see you around maybe." Chad told me, and I knew that meant he was going to stay on his side for majority of the time. It made me kind of sad, but mostly mad that we couldn't work out.

"See you." Then I walked out his door.

Then I walked out of his life.

"Rehearsal at twelve, so let's get lunch now." Tawni suggested, picking up her purse and walking to the dressing room door. We were only going to the cafeteria, so I didn't even know why she was taking her purse in the first place.

It had been a couple of weeks since I returned home from Florida. Things were back to normal, and I didn't even think about or remember my short romance with Chad.

"Okay. I can't wait for the newest Check-it-out Girl's sketch! It's going to be hilarious!" I walked with Tawni to the cafetria, chatting about the newest sketches and the cutest background people we had that week on the show.

"I loved the kidnapping sketch. It was so fun! Maybe if I ever get kicked off of So Random, i'll be on one of those action-y movies! But i'll never get kicked off of So Random, since i'm so incredibly talented and pretty." Tawni rambled. It was her usual rambling, where she complimented herself here and there. I usually remained silent the whole time.

"I remember when we first practiced that sketch. When we were all in Florida and we 'kidnapped' you. And Chad thought it was real. Ha."

Chad. I almost had forgotten about him. He had secluded himself for the last two weeks so he wouldn't have to see me, most likely. Which is why I had forgotten about our summer romance.

"That's when you were with him."

I kept walking with her to the cafeteria, but I wasn't paying attention. I was replaying all the moments with Chad in Florida in my head.

"Earth to Sonny? We're in the cafeteria, what do you want to eat?" Tawni asked me, and immediatly I snapped out of it.

"Anything, I just want to talk to Chad. I haven't seen him in forever, and you can't ignore your friends forever."

"Don't stir up old memories. Even if they're good ones. They just make you depressed. Might as well leave him be."

She was right. I placed those memories in a special place and locked them up for good. I wouldn't forget about them.

"Anything's good though. Not like we get to choose from steak or lobster anyways." I finally answered her, and I returned to being same old me.

I ate lunch with the rest of my friends, and totally forgot about Florida once again. After finishing I returned to my dressing room with Tawni. There was a small note on my vanity mirror in a guy's hand writing. I could tell because it was not neat like a girl's.

It said, "Dear Sonny,

I overheard you talking in the cafeteria. I wasn't eavesdropping, but it was about me anyways. Thank you for not wanting to forget about me. I'm sorry i've been gone. I haven't been avoiding you, I was very busy and i'm doing a MacKenzie Falls movie. Alot of lines. The script is pretty hard to memorize. I guess i'm not a star after all, because stars know how to memorize their lines easily. I've never liked that Tawni. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Please remember what we had, because I think it was pretty good while it lasted. I want to talk to you in person, but like I said, i'm busy. Look, the point is, i'm talking to you with no problem at all. And we're friends. You were right, we're better as friends. We don't fight as much. Everything happens for a reason, huh? Don't ever doubt what you ended up choosing, because it all works out in the end. Like right now. Man, i'm rambling. Let's just talk in person. I'll be in the cafeteria tomorrow, same time. I would have said hi to you today but I was grabbing my lunch and leaving. Well, see you then.

Friends,

Chad."

I folded up the note and stuck it in my pocket.

"Who's that from? Chad?" Tawni asked, and I nodded my head.

"What's it say?"

"He wants to talk in person. I can't wait." I took a deep breath of relief and got ready for rehearsal.
