Wassupp? Thanks for the reviews, y'all are flipping AMMMAAZZZIINNNGG:)) OOH SNAPP! Has any of you gone on youtube and looked up pictures of Falling for the Falls part 2? It's all these pictures of Sonny and Chad when they go on thier date, and it is adorable! OMG(: I can't wait for the episode! EEPP! (: So, I just thought that'd I say that the chapter after this one is most likely going to be the last chapter. I already know how I want to end it, and I hope it leaves you guys..well, I won't say or else it'll ruin it.
So, here's the long awaited interview chapter! (which was actually really hard for me to write for some reason, idk why) I hope you enjoy!
Sonny POV
Smirking, I walked onto the stage, my ankle boot chafting awkwardly against my skin. "Sonny!" Santiago said, "My girl, how are you?" Before I could answer, I was ushered to a chair and swarmed by makeup and hair artists who were attempting to make last second touch ups.
"Get off the stage! We're on in ten!" I heard someone hiss.
I blinked as bright lights were turned on and aimed at me. "Five, four, three, two, one, GO!"
"Good morning, America!" Santiago boomed, looking at a camera. I smiled my best smile and tried to look natural, "Today Tween Weekly is giving you the scoop on 'Channy's breakup! That's right! On stage now we have Ms. Sonny Munroe. Hi Sonny, how are you?" Santiago turned to me and smiled.
I smiled back at him, "Santiago, I'm doing great, thanks."
Santiago nodded, "That's good. Now, I see you're wearing a cast around your ankle. Mind telling us how that happened?"
Ha, great. They always have to ask about the darned injury. I laughed and tossed my hair back, "Well, ironically, this happened the day I came back to So Random after a week long break, and I tripped on a wire in the studio and landed wrong."
Santiago raised an eyebrow, "Hmm, a week long break? And why was that?" God, why was he so freaking curious? I kept my smile plastered on my face and answered, "There's no need to pretend around you, Santiago. I took that week off because, well, I was still recovering from the fact that I, Sonny Munroe, won an Emmy!" The live audience began to applaude. I grinned at them, "I mean, I'm seventeen and I already have an Emmy to hang on my wall!"
This fueled the audience's applause and I waved slightly, laughing at the response I got. Santiago didn't seem to buy it, "Uh-huh. Sonny, I have a feeling that you're not being honest with me." He stared at me intently, but I remained the smile, an easy smile stuck on my face. "But, I say we find out for ourselves whether Sonny was indeed telling the truth with a special guest-star. Please, put your hands together for Chad Dylan Cooper!"
To not seem rude, I clapped politely and tried not to wince at the defeaning roar of the crowd as Chad swaggered on stage, his signature smirk on his face. If I had caused him any uneasiness backstage, he showed none. I swallowed, this was where things were going to get interesting.
Chad sat down in the seat next to me, not bothering to say hello. I turned pointedly so I was facing Santiago and tried to block out the fact that Chad was next to me. "Ooh, I can just feel the tension!" He exclaimed, motioning to Chad and I. I didn't say anything, just kept on smiling.
Chad laughed and put an arm around my shoulders, "Tension?" He said in a high voice, "Trust me, Santiago. Sonny and I, we try to mantain a professional relationship in and out of the studio. Because, you know, friendship is very important."
I made a gagging noise and shrugged off his arm. Santiago leaned forward, looking very interested, "Oh, please." I said, turning so that I was facing Chad in my seat, "Tell us, Chad, how many times did you rehearse that in the mirror?"
Chad narrowed his eyes, and turned to Santiago, "As you can see, Sonny's still a little defensize, so-,"
"Defensize?" I screeched, "Hold up! I'm defensive, Chad? Really?"
Chad smirked, "Yeah, Sonny. Really."
Santiago seemed to be eating this up, "This is just too good!" Santiago said from his desk, "I assume both of you guys had a hard time adjusting, shall we say, to a life without each other?"
I scoffed, "Santiago, really. Look at the boy. He broke up with me because of an award. Who would miss anyone that shallow?"
A mummur rippled through the audience, and I leaned back in my chair and stared at Chad, smirking as if to say 'What now, suckaa?'
Chad pursed his lips and smiled a tight smile and paused, frowning slightly as if he was listening to something. Chad quickly snapped back into focus, "I'm sure it seems like I broke up with Sonny because of that Award. But let's think for a second: Santiago, I won nine Emmy's. Do you think I really care about one award?"
I shook my head in disbelief, "I can't believe it. You're lying through your teeth." I accused.
"W-Well this is certainly going to an interesting interview," Santiago stammered, "But we're going to take one quick commerical break, so stay tuned."
I smiled at the camera and waited till the director gave us the signal that we were off the air. As soon as I got the signal I slumped back in my chair and rubbed my temples, this was going to be a long interview.
"Can you atleast attempt to act?" Chad hissed. I snapped my head up, "What?"
Chad rolled his eyes, "You realize how bad this makes you seem. I'm sure to you're loving this, acting like the big bad wolf that stood up to Chad Dylan Cooper. But trust me, Sonny, this is only going to bring you bad press."
I shook my head, "Whatever, Chad. I really don't want to hear you or your lies right now."
Chad threw his hands up and rose out of is chair, "I tried," He muttered, walking away.
I stared out as the audience talked amongst them, and crewmembers scurried about. Santiago walked back up on stage and took his place at his desk, Chad followed suit and sat back in his chair. "Woo!" Santiago said, "The viewers are loving this. We have more viewers then we've had in the past six months! This is crazy! Keep it up, you two."
I didn't reply, just sat up straight right as Santiago started talking to the camera again, "And we are back!" He boomed, "Before diving right in, Sonny, alot of viewers have been asking: What's up with the black hair?"
I smiled at Santiago, "What about it? Am I not allowed to change hair color?"
Chad coughed slightly. I whirled on him, "What? Do you not approve of that answer, or something?" Chad smirked at me, then looked at Santiago, "No, it's not the answer I don't approve of, it's your crap excuse."
Chad POV
Crap. The second the words came out of my mouth I knew I'd regret them. Sonny's face went red with rage, and her fists were clenched. I could tell she was trying not to start screaming at me.
"COOPER!" Mike yelled in my ear, causing me to wince, "What the crap are you doing?" I ignored him and tried to focus on Sonny's response.
Sonny just glared at me. Santiago laughed, "I am loving this!" He said to the audience. "Chad," He said, turning to me, "Since you claim it wasn't the award, what was the reason you broke up with Sonny?"
Sonny leaned forward, "Yeah," She drawled, "Please, enlighten us."
I tried to keep a calm face, but really I was freaking out. "Chad?" Santiago pressed, "Your answer?"
Oh, right. Snap out of it, Chad! I shrugged, "Loss of interest." I stated simply. Sonny laughed darkly, "Can you believe that?" She said, waving her hand at me, "I'm sorry, but lack of interest? Yeah, that totally makes sense seeing as the day before you said you loved me!"
Ooh. The audience shifted uncomfortably, their mummurs drifting through the air and to my ears. I tried to block them out, "Sonny," I said gently, "I'm an actor."
Ouch. Sonny looked like she'd been slapped in the face. I immediatley realized that I'd gone to far, "Sonny, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-," Sonny shook her head and stared at me, "No, it's okay." She said softly, "I get it."
Santiago looked confused, "You...get it?"
Sonny nodded, "I get..." She said slowly, as if she was carefully choosing each and every word, "I get that Chad's an egoistic, selfish, self-centered, shallow, jerk that no one likes."
The crowd gasped, and I stared, shocked as Sonny shrugged, "Hey, it's true!" She said, "I mean, anyone who breaks up with someone over an award is, well, not someone I'd like to be with. I just wish I could have realized it sooner so we wouldn't have been in this situation."
Santiago nodded, "All right! I believe Sonny just laid it down!" Sonny smirked and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Chad," I heard Mike's voice come from inside my ear, "This is getting out of control." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, does he think I don't know that? I blocked out Sonny and Santiago, they were probably just talking about how much I sucked or something, and I listened to Mike.
"Here's what you're going to do," Mike said quickly, "Say there's someone else." I froze. I couldn't do that. That would crush Sonny. I shook my head slightly, hoping that Mike was watching and he would be able to see.
"So, you're just over Chad completley, right?" Santiago asked Sonny, completley oblivious to me and my dilemma.
"Chad, say it. Now." I still didn't say anything. I refused to. Sure, Sonny kind of hated me right now, but I would never ever hurt her like that. I've hurt Sonny enough as it is.
"Chad, listen to me!" Mike ordered, "You don't do that, and I'll have her show cancelled and make sure no one in Hollywood hires her, again."
Oh, crap. My eyes went from Sonny, who was still talking away to Santiago, back to me.
"Do it now, Cooper, or I swear to God I will!" Mike yelled in my ear. My hands started to sweat. Sonny looked at me, as if remembering I was there and smirked, "So tell us the truth, Chad." She said, completley unaware of her much I was struggling internally, "Why did you break up with me?"
"Five seconds, Chad!" Mike roared in my ear, "Or I'll ruin her damn life!"
Santiago leaned forward on his desk, eager to hear what I was going to say.
"Four!" Mike yelled.
"What are you scared of?" Sonny said, leaning back in her chair with a smirk on her face.
"Three!"
I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out. What could I do? Ruin her career, or break her heart?
"Two!"
"Aw, look, he's too scared to answer!" Sonny cooed, her eyes boring into mine.
"One!"
"T-There was someone else!"
:D Am I evil or what? Cliffyyy! haha(; So, tell me what you think of the twist, and how you think the story will turn out, seeing as the next chapter is most likely the last one. (I might scretch it out into two chapters or something, depends on how long it is).
So yeah, just tell me what you think! And i'm sorry if this chapter makes all of you hate me lol(;
