SWAC – of telling the truth

Sonny and Chad chronicles.

Chap.7 – Dilemmas Part ONE (Everyone)

3:21pm – Sunday afternoon.

Chad let go of Sonny after a long silence of caressing each other in a hug. They slowly let one another's arms lift out of the position they were just in. Chad looked at Sonny, Sonny looked at Chad. They both were still smiling with glee. On the other hand, a slight awkwardness and embarrassment was appearing and Sonny eventually broke the silence, "Well… thanks for having me here to stay, Chad."

He nodded and smiled, "Yeah, anytime." She nodded back and turned round to the door, whilst Chad span back to reality and quickly paced to the door to open it for her. He smiled at her again and she smiled at him, politely. This seemed rather strange to both of them; especially since they just let out all feelings for each other. It was like those words were never said. As they stood still and gave one more glance at each other, they began to both lower their eyebrows a little… both confused as to why one another were being so oddly casual.

Once again, the trance was gone and both of them cleared their throats and said a farewell. "Bye," Chad whispered. Sonny gave him a weak smile and waved, walking out of the door… not looking back. That was when Chad was definitely confused, why did Sonny not stay? I mean, I would have said something but I… couldn't. It was like something stopped me. "Weren't we meant to be together now? Like, everything would fall into place?" Chad thought, scratching his head and closing the door. It was weird. To Chad, it almost felt like the whole concept had just been a slap across his face.

Tuesday morning, 11:21am

It had been 3 days since the feelings between Chad and Sonny finally came out. They kissed yes; they felt so happy for it. But something was not quite right… because after that kiss, Sonny casually left… and she hadn't been around since. In fact, it was driving Chad a little crazy. But that confusion was not making any sense. In fact, it began to seem to Chad that perhaps a kiss was all that was going to happen. Why? Because there was a slight chance that this peculiar thought of his was dawning on Chad… because he'd used the same tactics on girls. She was avoiding him. They hadn't spoken at all and she wasn't answering her phone.

Did she regret the kiss or something? Did she just kiss him to get his hopes up? Chad didn't understand, so that day he got fed up with all his paranoia thoughts and decided to take a wonder down to the set of 'So Random'. He did try to go yesterday, but his cast mates kept bothering him and he never got a chance at lunchtime and ended up having to eat in his dressing room. Mackenzie Falls are only allowed to do so. Then again, she didn't quite ignore me Sunday morning… everything seemed fine until now. So there he was; straightening his jacket and spraying an essence of peppermint water into his mouth.

"Ahhh…" He breathed. "That should do it," he thought. "Mmm, I wish I could taste her lips now… they felt sooo good the other night. If only I could feel them again." Chad couldn't stop having outrageous thoughts of her, Sonny got him hooked… like a lost mouse for cheese. At that moment, Chad was agonized to see her… he just had to see those muddy brown eyes once more. He was almost there, walking closer to the door of Tawni and Sonny's dressing room. He begged inside his head that she was in there. "Please be in there Sonny, you must be there…"

Chad gently tapped his knuckles on to the wooden door and waited for a response. After a few seconds; the familiar blonde girl… Tawni appeared. She gave him a suspicious look but probably knew why he was standing outside of the dressing room. "Looking for Sonny, pooper?" he gave her a slight smile, "Yes I am… is she here?" She crossed her arms and frowned a little, "Actually… no. She hasn't been in today or yesterday. Apparently there's something wrong with her and she couldn't come in. She's taking a few days off."

He frowned, "Really? Did she say specifically what was wrong?" Tawni shook her head and shrugged, "Nope… sorry Chad." He nodded slightly, "Okay, thanks anyway…Tawni." She gave him a nod goodbye and what he thought, may have been a smile. She gently closed the door and waved a goodbye. He felt his face still in the same frowned expression. "What on earth has happened to Sonny? I'm really kind of worried… is she hurt? Hmmm well, only one way to find out…"

12:14pm

Chad pulled up at Sonny's driveway to the block of apartments. He let out the car key and stepped out of his blue convertible, holding a bunch of daffodils, Sonny's favourite. He smiled to himself, glad that he was to see Sonny once more. He walked up to the main apartment doors and buzzed no. 18 for Sonny. A few seconds later, her voice was heard through a faint speaker. "Hello?" She called. "Hey, it's me…Chad." She replied back, "Oh… well, come in I guess." Chad frowned at her tone. "Whoa, she really wasn't happy Monroe at the moment."

Chad got up the stairs to the 2nd floor and saw that Sonny's door was already open, whereas Sonny was on the sofa. "Hey Sonny, can I come in?" She mumbled, "Yes…" He then saw that there were crutches by the sofa. Chad had a concerned look on his face, and moved towards Sonny. As he tried to look at her, she looked away. Chad then frowned and tried to look at her face. Again, she looked away. "Sonny, hey… look at me." She then began to slowly turn to face Chad.

He then gasped, horrified of what he saw on Sonny's face. It was tears, wet black mascara running down her cheeks. "Sonny, whoa… what's happened to you? Why have you got those crutches?" She replied sternly through whimpers, "I don't want to talk to about it." Chad sat down next to her and put an arm round her, leaving his shoulder for her to lean on. "Well that's fine, but I won't go until you're happy." Sonny sighed, "Fine… you really want to know?" Chad nodded and looked down at her with his big blue eyes that usually made Sonny hypnotised.

She took another deep breath and began, "Well… let's just say, I've had a really bad last 2 days." Chad frowned, "Why?" She carried on, "Firstly, I panicked after I kissed you. I'd never expressed my feelings before and I was worried I did something wrong so I left early." Chad's shoulders dropped and he gave her a look of affection. "No Sonny, you… how could you do anything wrong. I thought I made a mistake." She shook her head and leaned back into him, putting her left arm on his neck and kissed his cheek. "So, what happened after that?"

"Secondly, I got a call from my mum. She said that there was something wrong with my brother." Chad's eyebrows widened, "Oh… what's wrong with him?" She looked away from my eyes and put her hands in her face, "Look, just forget it… I don't want to say no more." Chad grabbed hold of Sonny's fragile hands and gently pulled them right to his heart. "Sonny please, I want to help. I want to be here for you."

Sonny let out a nervous chuckle, "That's exactly what my brother would have said to me when I was upset." Chad gave her a slight sympathy smile, rubbing her back. "Well, I just…" Sonny stammered, starting to cry again. "Oh gosh, Allison…" He said. Sonny then looked up at Chad with amazement, "You said my full name again, why?" Chad shook his head, "I really don't know, it just blurts out." Sonny gave him a smile, "It's sweet."

"Aww, well that's good. I did something right then." Chad replied, rolling his eyes and smirking as he said 'something'. Sonny giggled, purely laughing at Chad, since she found him so cute and goofy sometimes. "So, have I gained your trust now?" He then asked, his blue eyes staring at her right in the face, his breath blowing on her. Sonny's face went back to neutral and she then finally spoke, "My brother was in a car accident." She looked down at her feet, suddenly feeling sad all over again. Chad then dropped his shoulders again and suddenly realized how much he was an idiot for letting her tell him.

"Oh crap Sonny, I shouldn't have asked… I'm sorry." She shook her head, "It's okay Chad… he might not be dead yet. My mum hasn't confirmed it officially." He nodded, "Okay, that's good then… so you're crying because you're worried?" She nodded, "Yeah… me and my brother are really close. I was hoping you could meet him one day, since you already know my mum." Chad gave her a weak smile, "That's nice to know."

"Yeah, I've also been in pain though. As you can see from the crutches and plaster on my forehead." Chad replied, "Yeah! I was going to ask about that, what the heck happened to you?" Sonny looked down at her hands, "Well, stupid me… decided to run towards Tawni because she needed hug and she'd been under a lot of stress. So we met up and I somehow forgot that there were a slight number of downward steps, which led to me damaging my ligament in my ankle. Oh, and scraping my forehead."

Chad made a slight hissing noise, understanding the pain. "Jeez, that sounds painful. But hey, as long as you haven't hurt yourself too much." She nodded, "Course… I'll be out of these crutches in no time." He gave her another smile and hugged her gently. "So, how's your day been?" Sonny asked, holding Chad's hands. Chad shrugged, "Not too bad, could have been better if you were at the studios today." Sonny beamed and giggled a little, playfully slapping Chad's hand, "Aww… stop it."

"I mean it Allison, Sonny Monroe." Chad said sternly, looking right into Sonny's eyes, linking his to hers. Chad gulped, feeling a little shaky again for being so close to Sonny's lips. He then looked down at let go of her hands. Sonny frowned; confused as to why he hadn't kissed her, which he would have done before. She gently got hold of Chad's jaw and pulled his head to face back to her. "Are you okay? You looked away for some reason…" He gulped again, struggling to disconnect away from kissing her again. He let his head let go of Sonny's grip, "Um yeah, just err… feeling a little dizzy."

As he said those words he stood up and nervously tried to get a hold of himself… concerned that he was getting horny again. Chad himself was confused as to why he was so afraid of kissing Sonny, I mean he's CDC, Chad Dylan Cooper… this effect should be affecting Sonny. But it seemed that she was less scared than he. "I thought I wasn't scared anymore, why on earth is this still happening to me?" It suddenly came to his mind… and there it was haunting him.

He was dangerously, cautiously, damn right petrified of commitment. He'd never committed to any woman and never liked a girl for more than a few weeks. His whole feelings for Sonny had been going on for longer than he realized, in fact… it occurred to him that he had liked her ever since he realized her talent of acting during that silly little game of musical chairs.


"NO!" The Randoms yelled all at once.

"Oh my ankle, it really hurts… I think something snapped!" Sonny exclaimed, slouching on the ground, with her ankle seeming to be pain. From what it seemed poor Sonny's ankle must have been damaged. "Wait, was I caring?" He thought, at the time. Chad stopped and looked down at Sonny, "Aw man that looks really serious…" Sonny groaned lightly in pain, looking down and sitting, still holding her ankle. "We better get you to a doctor. Just take my hand." Chad let out his hand for Sonny, she looked up at him in hope and took hold of his hand, pulling him towards her.

He fell to the ground and Sonny stood back up, showing that she was not really in any pain at all and sat in the chair saying, "Peace out suckers!" As she said this, she did a weird gangster style hand gesture and sat in the seat with confidence. Her friends were yelling in joy. They rushed towards and gave her a slight awkward hug. Chad looked at her furiously; amazed and slightly annoyed to realize that he had been fooled.

"You tricked me!" He shouted. She retorted back, "Nope. I was acting!" She then ran her hands through her hair for dramatic effect, obviously showing him the attitude and courage of her. "Wow, that was… great. Just as good as me! Wait no, second. Wait no! What the heck am I saying?" He thought. I stood up and straightened my jacket, "Not bad, perhaps there's a spot for you on Mackenzie Falls…" He turned to Portlyn, who looked disappointed. "…After Portlyn disappears in a mysterious ballooning accident."

She then went to go and cry, upset by what Chad said. He looked back at Sonny and she replied, "Thanks but my home is right here in Chuckle City, on a show called So Random. So I won't be going anywhere, Chad Dylan Cooper." He was surprised by her turn down, but it was her choice. Strangely though, the 'So Random' cast gasped after she said his name. "That was weird…" He thought; confused as to why they did that. Sonny then said, "Really? Were doing that again?"


So yeah, Chad is officially afraid… and he has no idea what to do about it.

5:42pm

Chad finally got Sonny to sleep, and didn't kiss her... he would have, but couldn't. He was still trying to get used to her gorgeous body, which he hadn't even seen yet without clothes. He imagined how alarming it would be if he saw her nude! But he attempted to shake that out of his head. Anyway, he's only had sex once… which was not long ago. But it didn't last long cause Chad freaked out and left her, realizing that he didn't really want to have sex with that girl, but he wanted to be intimate with Sonny. The word intimate sounded weird to Chad, he was truly worried that he was becoming a sap.

Chad then sat down on Sonny's couch and turned on the TV. But that was when I heard a slight key clicking noise, Sonny's mother Connie was home. I stood right up and turned off the television. "Oh! You gave me a bit of a fright there Chad." She said, looking at me with a peculiar look on her face. "Sorry Ms Monroe. Demi's asleep by the way, she's not been happy. But I cheered up and now she's resting." Connie dropped her shoulders, impressed by his affectionate ways.

"Oh, well… that's really nice Chad. Glad to see you care about my daughter." He nodded with a smile and then said, "Should I be off now?" She smiled back to him and replied, "Well it's up to you, and you can stay a little longer if you want… or you can go home now."

"Ah okay. Err, I will, say goodbye to Sonny." He pointed towards her bedroom and Connie nodded, "Sure… fine by me." Chad smiled again and then went to her bedroom to notice that she was slightly snoring, it was really soft and cute. It was noisy or annoying, just gentle. "Man, she looks so peaceful and beautiful. You do NOT know what you do to me Sunshine." She then rolled over on to her other side and slightly moved her head into a more comfortable position.

"This must be what love feels like. Am I in love with her?"

"Well if I am, I just hope that when I eventually tell her... she won't freak."
