IIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMM BBBBBAAAAACCCKK! LOL SO HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER. IT'S NOT THE BEST I WROTE IT LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO TO SLEEP (THERE ARE BUGS IN MY DORM ROOM! UGH) HOPE YOU LIKE IT! I DO NOT OWN SWAC

CPOV

I looked slowly around the room as my mind tried to figure out some type of logical conclusion to why me and Sonny where cuddled up on the bed in each others arms. But as I looked from Sonny's brown eyes to the cast of So Random my mind was drawing a blank. Come on I'm Chad Dylan Cooper I've talked myself out of way worst situations then this, I'm good at thinking on my feet. I opened my mouth

"Uhh...we were... uh" Oh yeah I'm a real genius. I shook my head o.k. think Cooper think, but before I could open my mouth again Sonny started talking

"I asked Chad to sleep next to me because I was scared after what happened. I don't know I must have been a little doped up on the meds they gave me, but he did it like a good friend." She turned to me and smiled "Thanks" I stared at her dumbstruck for a second then started nodding my head.

"Yeah you know me I'll use any excuse to climb into a cute girls bed" I smiled and winked at Sonny. She smiled and leaned closer slowly bringing her lips closer to mine, then when she was so close I could feel her breath on my cheek she-

Pushed me out of the bed. I landed hard on my butt, as the laughter of the whole Random cast rang in my ears. I got up and glared at Sonny, who was sitting on the bed looking very pleased with herself.

"That hurt you know" I said glaring at her.

"It wasn't supposed to feel good" She smirked and then turned to the cast of So Random. Her eyes started to look teary as she glanced at each of her cast mates and saw how much they had changed. Nico was taller and buffer than he used to be, last I heard he got his own comedy show after So Random had been cancelled and it's very successful, he was almost as rich as me, almost. Then Grady who I heard started his own restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard after winning Top Chef. He also is very successful, people go there to get food that "shouldn't taste good, but does", whatever that means, he still looks the same just a little older. Zora had completely changed, she was taller her long brown hair hung to her butt and she had steaks of purple and green running through it which matched her outfit, she had a punk rockerish look to her. I believe she now is the host of "GOT CHA" and has a reputation as a little Hollywood heartbreaker. But she is nowhere near as big of a heartbreaker as the notorious Tawni Heart. Tawni after So Random became a big time movie star and was known for dating all of her male costars. Yeah that's right ALL OF THEM. But besides being a heartbreaker she is also known for her, in the words of Tawni Heart, "Fabulous A+ -list Parties" were only the hottest of the hot get in. And I yours truly always get an invitation.

As I sat and looked at the whole cast reunited I decided they need time alone.

"Uh Sonny I'm going to the cafeteria and get some food. Do you want anything?" She silently shook her head not once looking at me. I walked to the door "Be back later"

And left the room.


SPOV

I barely noticed the door closing behind Chad; my mind was overcome with emotion. I can't believe my whole cast is here.

"How did you guys know I was at the hospital?" My voice cracked a little on the last word. How embarrassing I haven't cried since….. five years ago. Tawni smiled and immediately started talking

"Well I actually called Nico, Grady, and Zora after I saw you at my party on what was that Saturday? Well anyway so we all decided that we wanted to surprise you and have a little So Random reunion and were planning to show up at Chad's house tomorrow. But after seeing the news report today I called everyone and we decided that there was no time like the present and came right on over." She looked around at the guys "Were so glad your o.k."

"Yeah Sonny you could have died!" Zora said, she looked like she had been crying. My heart squeezed, when I was on the show Zora was like a little sister to me. I can't believe it's been five years since I've seen her. I held my arms open like I used to when she was upset about something and she came and hugged me.

"I know I'm sorry I scared you." My throat felt tight. She continued to hug me

"I've missed you Sonny" She mumbled against my shirt

"I've missed you to, all of you" I felt the tears start rolling down my cheeks. How can I be so happy and sad at the same time?

"Then why did you leave?" Zora said and pulled back to see my face. I gave an inward sigh, should I tell them the truth?

"I- I just couldn't do it I was falling apart. Hollywood, it was changing me into a person I

didn't want to be. It was changing who I was. I had to get out I couldn't take it" Truth, well it was half the truth. But not all of it, I had hated Hollywood because of the people in it. How they could smile in your face one minute and turn on you the next. It seemed like you never knew who your true friends were and I hated being suspicious all the time. The thing with Chad had been the final straw. I looked around at my friend's faces. I saw understanding on Grady's and Nico's, Confusion on Tawni's, and hurt on Zora's.

"That still doesn't explain why you left without saying goodbye; I mean really Sonny a letter was that the best you could do?" She glared accusingly at me

"I know I'm sorry. I know I should have come and talk to you guys. But I was worried if I did you would have made me stay and I know that if you would have asked, I would have stayed. And I couldn't, I was this close to a break down, I had to get out." Another truth, But I hadn't stopped the breakdown from coming I had only delayed it. Zora nodded her head

"I understand Sonny I really do, it still hurt but I'm tired of being mad at you" She smiled "Besides we came here to catch up and make you feel better not make you cry" Everyone smiled and started to sit down, everyone but Tawni.

"You know what Sonny you look a little pale, and hospital clothes are so… Eck. I know exactly what you need! A makeover! Let me run to my car and get the stuff, I'll be right back" And she dashed out of the room. I stopped shocked at how quickly she ran out of here. I glanced over and saw Nico shaking his head and slowly getting up to go after her. Even though he tried to keep his face neutral I saw something there that confused me. Wait, had Nico and Tawni…. No not possible… but the way he looked after her…

Goodness what have I missed?

"I'll be right back I'm going to check on her" Nico grumbled as he closed the door. I glanced at Zora, she was nodding her head.

"They used to go out way back when, about right before So Random got cancelled. I think it was pretty serious. I don't think either one of them got over it not really. But I don't know the details every time I ask Nico changes the subject or Tawni starts talking about makeovers and hair. I think Tawni did something stupid and because you weren't there to talk her out of it….." She shrugged. "But I don't really know" There was a silence following her words. I was still in shock over the fact that Tawni and Nico had been a couple. And I felt a little bit of guilt over what Zora had said that if I had been there they might still be together and happy or at least able to sit in the same one with one another without looking wounded.

"So Sonny what have you been up to?" Grady asked obviously trying to change the subject.

"Nothing much" that was a lie but I didn't feel like talking about the last five years "Why don't you guys catch me up on what's been going on with you?" And I sat back and listen to my friends talk about their lives. And tried not to feel hurt about how much I had missed out on.


TPOV

Gawd I have to get out of here. This is just too much for me. I leaned against the hospital wall and took a drag off my cigarette, and slowly exhaled. I know it was illegal to smoke in front of a hospital but this was an emergency. I closed my eyes and listen to traffic, the noise always had a way of calming me down and making me feel very zen.

"I thought you quit?" a deep voice said from behind me

And zen moment over.

"Yeah well you thought a lot of things didn't you" I stomped the cigarette out with my foot and winced at how mean I sounded. I hated that just him being around could turn me into this mean bitchy person. We didn't used to be this way, it used to be him just walking into a room could make me feel ten times brighter, happier. But that was over, those feelings were gone. Instead they were replaced with hurt anger and resentment. Man I wish I had another smoke or alcohol or something.

"Yeah I guess I did." Nico came and stood beside me and glanced sideways "But I don't remember thinking those things alone"

"Nico stop I-"

"Do you ever think about it Tawni? Back when we were together? Before we ruined it all. Back when we were happy. What Happened?" I knew what happened I knew exactly what happened. But he didn't and he never would.

"I wanted something different Nico, a career, fame, fortune, the whole nine yards" Lie. All I had wanted then was him, but that could never be. He turned to face me and stayed that way for a long time

"Well I guess you got what you wanted, far be it from me to stand in the way of your dreams." He turned and walked back to the door. He opened it and paused. "You know all I had wanted then Tawni was you," He looked at me his face carefully blank "It's what I thought you wanted to" And he walked through the door. I leaned against the wall and felt my heart breaking all over again. I dug through my purse until I found another cigarette and carefully lit it up. Damn Lung cancer; I'd welcome it at this point anyway.

Nothing could hurt as much as this.


CPOV

I walked back to Sonny's room about three hours later. I found her laying quietly on the bed smiling to herself. I stopped and leaned against her door frame, it wasn't a brilliant Sonny smile, but it was a smile, the second one today. Sonny looked at me a calm expression on her face.

"Hey" She said

"Hey" I walked into her room and sat on the chair next to the bed "I'm guessing from the smile that you guys had a great time catching up?"

"Yeah we did, I mean first Zora was mad at me for leaving but-"

"Why did you leave Sonny?" I interrupted I had waited five years to ask this question. She looked at me, first she looked shocked than pissed.

"As if you don't know" She sneered. What was that suppose to mean?

"What's that suppose to mean?" I was confused

"You know exactly why I left! Or do you not remember that day, the last day I saw you?" She looked furious

"Of course I remember! " It was one of the happiest days of my life. "It was the day I asked you out!"

"And why did you ask me out? Huh Chad? Riddle me that!" Was she serious? As if she

didn't know

"Because I-"The door swung open and in swept Ms. Stark. Now I have to admit, being a guy and all, that Sonny's boss was hot. She was curvy, had long wavy brown hair, bow shaped lips, and almond shaped eyes. But something about her was a little, cold, almost like she was forever seizing up whoever she was around and trying to figure out her next move. Plus something about her was familiar I just couldn't place it.

"Hello Ms. Munroe, Mr. Cooper" She glanced between us "I hope I'm not interrupting anything" It was then I notice how close me and Sonny had gotten during our fight. I quickly pulled back and sat up straight

"Nope not at all" Ms. Stark looked unconvinced but let it go.

"Mr. Cooper, we found the way the two thugs got in. Apparently there was a blind spot between cameras in your back yard. How they knew about it I have no idea, and unfortunately that blind spot led to a window in your basement. I am deeply sorry about this and I hope you can forgive me and my team for making the mistake. Also I would offer you a different bodyguard so that I could send Alison home to recuperate but there is no one available to take your case. At least no one I would trust enough to send. If you would like we could go through one of the local agencies and find a new one for you but I would advise against it." She paused here. I waited for her to continue until I realized that she wanted a response

"Uh no I'm fine with keeping Son- I mean Ms. Munroe as my body guard. That is if she thinks she's well enough to stay on" I turn my gaze toward Sonny and waited for her answer.

"Well I'm well enough- but I'm not sure-"

"Good then it's settled. Ms. Munroe will continue being your bodyguard. You will stay with her in the hospital until they release her than you can both go back to your house." Ms. Stark turned her attention toward me. "Now if you don't mind stepping outside so I can have a word with Ms. Monroe please?" She had phrased it like a question but I knew that she wouldn't take no for an answer so instead of arguing I got up and walked toward the door. Before I went out into the hall way I turned to Sonny

"Were not finished with our discussion Sonny, not even close" Then I walked out of her room for the second time today.

SPOV

I watched the door close behind Chad. Was he serious? Did he really not know why I left? How stupid could he be! Did he really not remember breaking my heart?

"Alison?" I glanced sharply over to where Ms. Stark was standing "We need to go over the case"

"Yes I know" I nodded. "So did you figure out how he planted the bomb?"

"Yes he must have planted it when Agent Grant and Murphy went in to get the two men, The bomb was pretty ordinary the only thing that was interesting is there wasn't a timer and it wasn't set off by the engine" My eyes widen in shock

"There wasn't a timer? So that means he was there? The whole time?"

"Yes that's what we think. It could have been someone he hired but I'm guessing that it was him; he would have wanted to make sure everything went the way it was suppose to. Given my past knowledge on bombs I would say that this was homemade using chemicals most people have in their garages. Which makes it nearly impossible to trace. Whoever this guy is he knows what he's doing." I rubbed my head; I could feel a massive headache coming on. I figured Ms. Stark was right because before she was director she was one of the top bomb specialists the FBI has ever seen. But man I had been hoping there was going to be something on that bomb that could give us a clue to who was doing this.

"So you're saying we have no leads"

"Yes Ms. Munroe that's exactly what I'm saying, look I have to get back I just wanted to update you on the case. Get better soon Ms. Munroe I can't afford to lose one of my best agents" And she picked up her purse and left the room. I fell back on the bed with a groan and started massaging my temples. There has to be some clues somewhere! There's no such thing as the perfect crime. I closed my eyes and was trying to concentrate on the case when I heard the door open.

"We need to talk." A deep male voice said from the door way. I inwardly groaned

"Chad look I'm not in the mood to argue with you so plea-"He interrupted before I could finish

"Good cause I don't want to argue. All I want are answers." He walked toward my bed and glared down at me.

"Chad you know the answer already. Or if you don't just ask yourself this question. Why did you ask me to go out with you?"

"Because I wanted to!"

"Wrong answer."

"What do you mean wrong answer? How are you gonna tell me what's the right answer or not!"

"Because Chad I was there I heard and saw-"There was another knock on the door.

"WHAT!" I yelled. I was getting tired of all the visitors. A nurse pocked her head in the door way.

"Um sorry but this just came for you." She hurried forward and handed a flower box to me then left. I scowled at Chad and opened the box. In it was a dozen red roses and one black one. Tied to the black one was a note. I lifted it out and saw it was written in big red letter.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT MS MONROE I NEVER INTENDED TO HURT YOU. WELL AT LEAST NOT YET.

GET WELL SOON

PS HOPE YOU LIKE THE FLOWERS. THEYRE NICER THEN THE LAST ONES I GOT YOU HUH?

"Chad? I need you to go to the front desk and ask them who delivered these flowers."

"What? But Sonny were not-"

"JUST DO IT!" Chad ran off toward the front desk. I gripped the flower tighter in my hand then dropped it when I felt the pain spread through my palm. I looked at my hand and saw blood, then glanced at the flower. The stem was covered in the most vicious looking thorns I have ever seen. As I sat there and stared at the flower one thought ran through my mind.

What did he mean by these were nicer then the ones he had gotten me before?
