Anyways, on with the chapter!
CHAPTER 8 – Witness a Happy Ending
Tawni clapped as Beyonce got off the stage. She loved it. Grady walked out of the curtains and took the microphone.
"Okay, so we're having a couple of difficulties with the equipment, it will just be 10 minutes before the next performer. So you guys could talk amongst yourselves until then. That is all." Grady said. He ran backstage.
"Hey, G. That was a great excuse. We just need Selena, Zora and Sonny to get here fast. They have 15 minutes till second act." Nico said.
"Well, now they have 25 minutes."
"Good point."
Meanwhile…
Tawni smiled. She opened her clutch and took out the letter. She started reading the letter. Tawni's eyes moved eagerly across the page. She was shocked.
She couldn't believe what she reading. But she knew it all along. It wasn't Sonny who wrote that last letter. It was James. How could I have been so stupid?
Tawni looked up from reading the letter. She wanted to text Sonny and tell her about how she had been fooled. But she needed to tell him. Chad.
She looked over at Chad, who was just staring around the room. She ran over to Chad. Her high heels were keeping her from going any faster.
"Hey Chad and Ellen! Thank you guys for coming to my birthday!"
"Aww, thanks Tawni! Happy twenty- fifth Birthday! Everything looks so cool! You totally outdid yourself with this party!" Ellen said.
"Yeah, can I take Chad away from you for a couple of minutes? I just need to have a quick chat with him."
"Oh, Go ahead!" Ellen said.
Tawni grabbed Chad's arm and led him to the lobby of the venue.
"Tawni, so what happened? Where did you see her? How is she doing?" Chad asked frantically.
"Chad, calm down. I have something to show you. Nico and Grady saw her in New York City. She's doing fine. I.. uhhh actually visited her. But anyways, right before the party started, I received a letter from a lady who worked at the church. You know it was being demolished? Well, they found this note." Tawni handed the note to Chad.
"Apparently it was hidden. And when you read it, you'll know that other note was a fake. It was from James." Tawni added.
"How do you know this was from Sonny?" Chad asked while placing his hands over the words on the front, feeling the indents of the letters.
"The handwriting. Plus, the other one was typed? Do you remember?" Tawni said.
"I suggest you read it now." Tawni said.
The front read: To whom it may concern.
Chad opened the letter and took a deep breath. He knew that was her handwriting. It was dated the day of their wedding.
Hi,
I, Sonny, am about to get married to the most wonderful man in the entire world, Chad Dylan Cooper. My best friend, Tawni Hart is my maid of honor. There are a couple of things that I want to say before everything crashes down. Hopefully this will be able to clear everything up, if it hasn't been screwed already.
The man at fault for everything is James Conroy. He started everything. He is blackmailing me. He kissed me and saved proof. He thought the kiss meant something, when it never did.
He threatened to ruin my life and my love because he wanted me to be with him. I do not love him. I will never love him. Nobody should ever listen to him. That was my number one problem. I was afraid. I knew that I should have told someone, but I was scared. I am not the most confident girl. I didn't want to hurt Chad anymore, and I didn't want to have James living in satisfaction.
I love Chad Dylan Cooper.
I will always love him.
Sincerely,
Allison 'Sonny' Monroe
Chad looked up at Tawni. His eyes were furious.
"James did this? I trusted him. I thought he changed" Chad said with anger.
"Yes, I thought he changed as well." Tawni. Said.
"IS HE HERE?" Chad's voice grew a little bit louder.
"Calm down, Chad. I don't know. I remember sending him an invite, but I forgot if he responded." Tawni replied.
"How am I supposed to calm down, when he was the person who messed up my life. I love Sonny. I always have."Chad said.
"I know. He made Sonny leave us. He will pay. Let's go back into the party, and calm down first. Then tomorrow, I will show you where Sonny is." Tawni said.
"Okay, but…. I think I need to break it with Ellen. I mean I love her, but I shouldn't keep her when there is someone out there that will love her more than I do. My heart is still with Sonny." Chad said.
Tawni patted his back. "Okay Chad, let her down easy."
Chad walked back into the room. He spotted Ellen. He took his seat.
"Hey you," Ellen said as Chad took his seat.
"Hey, I have something to tell you." Chad said softly while looking into her eyes. He paused for a couple of seconds just thinking of how it might hurt her. They had such an amazing relationship. Ellen was with him for almost everything, but he never gave her everything that he could have. Ellen sat there waiting. She knew what he was going to do. To break the silence, Ellen took her hand and placed it on Chad's shaking knees. He was nervous.
"You're breaking up with me, am I right?" Ellen said.
"How'd you know?" Chad said. He was surprised.
"Chad, I love you, but I see that your heart is still somewhere else. That somewhere else is Sonny. Yes, I know the whole story because Portlyn had told me. Don't worry, I'm not mad. I understand. I remember seeing you guys on TV and thinking that you two were the perfect couple. I just thought that maybe you had moved on. But the last couple of months, we've been drifting apart. You should go find your Sonny. I'm sure that she feels the same way as you do." Ellen said, one tear left her face.
She wasn't mad. She wanted Chad to be happy. His heart wasn't there, and she knew that Sonny would take care of him, when he finds her once more.
"Ellen, you're the best. I want to show you something." Chad handed her the letter.
"Everything that you heard wasn't fully true. This letter was the real letter from Sonny. She still loved me. It was part of the reason why I felt like I couldn't give you my whole heart because most of it left when Sonny left me. But I want to still be friends with you Ellen. Maybe I could still call you for a rematch at Ping Pong. I still need to beat you." Chad smiled.
Ellen read the note. She wiped her tears. "Don't worry Chad, I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm happy because I'm witnessing a happy ending, like the ones in movies. I want to find someone who would love me as much as you love Sonny. When you find Sonny, I'd like to meet her. If that's fine with you?"
"Yes, I'd like you to meet Sonny too. You'd like her." Chad remarked.
"Well, the next performer is coming on now." Ellen added.
Both of them turned to the stage area. And Chad looked over at Tawni who smiled back at her. He needed Sonny. He loves her.
