Chapter 9: Questions are asked!
SPOV
I woke up pretty early today. I didn't sleep that much. I just couldn't understand what happened last night. Tears started to fall from my eyes again and I couldn't stop them. I really thought he liked me. Ugh, I'm so stupid. Look at me, crying my eyes out. He doesn't like you Sonny, he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you, he just doesn't. I thought that If I said it to myself enough times, I would stop hoping he did, but it didn't help. I kept asking myself that one question, giving me hope. Then why did he kiss me? I knew it was going to make me feel worse, because of the question that always followed right behind the first one. Then why did he say, he shouldn't have done that?
I had enough of it, I just wanted to forget yesterday even happened. I took my stuff and went to the bathroom. A bath would relax me. It did make me feel a bit better, but it didn't had the effect I wanted it to have. I knew it was hopeless. I was stupid for thinking that a bath could take away all of you problems, so I lifted myself out of the tub and got dressed. I went downstairs, took out a bowl and pored cereal in it. I wasn't really hungry and just kept poking the marshmallows. I'm not even capable of eating.
Matt came down and saw me sitting at the table. He looked worried again. I don't want him to ask me about it, I'll just cry. Please don't make him ask, cause I know I'll break down and cave. He'll be mad and I don't want him to get angry at Chad. I was the one stupid enough to think that he actually likes me. I felt the tears burning again and turned my head to wipe them away quickly. I got myself together again and smiled a weak smile at Matt.
"Morning" I left out the good.
"Morning. Are you feeling better?" He asked me. My smile dropped, but I forced it on my lips again. Yes was all I could say. I took my untouched cereal and threw it away. I didn't want to sit there, with Matt's eyes constantly focused on me, so I went over to the living room and turned on the TV. It didn't take long before Matt finished his breakfast and walked over to the couch. He sat down next to me and took the remote. The television screen turned blank, but I kept looking at it. Please, don't.
"What happened yesterday?" He asked me the question I dreaded the most. I looked away from the screen to my brother, when the doorbell rang. I wanted to open the door, but Matt took my arm and pulled me back on the couch. My mom came down the stairs and opened it instead.
"Hi Chad, Matt's in the living room." This can't be happening?!

I haven't slept at all last night. I kept turning around, trying to forget how much I hurt her. Why did I have to kiss her? Why does Matt have that stupid guy code? Questions kept running through my mind. And then the most important one popped up and I wondered why I didn't think about that one before. Why do I care about what Matt thinks? I like Sonny, she likes me. Matt doesn't have anything to do with it. After I realized that, I jumped of my bed and got dressed.
"Chad, are you awake?" My mom shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes!"
"Well come downstairs then, breakfast's ready." I thought about eating for a second, but that would take too much time and it's not like I could get anything down anyway.
"I'm not hungry! I'm going over to Matt."
I had to talk to Sonny, so I ran through the kitchen, took my keys and I was out already. It didn't take me long to arrive there and on my way, I had already thought about what I was going to say. Every conversation I imagined was awful. The next one even worse than the previous. I guess I'll just have to improvise. That won't be to difficult, right? Just tell her how you feel, that you've been a jerk and that if she doesn't want to talk to you ever again, you'll understand.
I was starting to regret my decision. What if she doesn't even want to see me? All of those questions were still bothering me when I arrived at her house. It took me a while to get out of the car. I was really nervous. I'm never nervous. I started talking to myself, trying to become the confident guy I normally am again.
"Come on Chad, just go to her and tell her you're sorry. It'll be alright. Worst case scenario, she'll tell you she hates you and never wants to see you again."
"Not helping!" I said trying to shut myself up.
"Just put your finger on the doorbell and push it already!" The voice spoke again.
I finally did what he said. Connie opened the door and smiled.
"Hi Chad, Matt's in the living room." Here goes nothing.

This can't be happening, this can't be happening. Wake up Sonny, it's just a really bad dream! Ouch! Ok, pinching didn't help. And now Matt's looking at me like I'm going crazy.
"Did you just pinch yourself?" He asked me, still worrying about my wellbeing. I didn't say anything. I couldn't. My feet wouldn't move, so I sat there panicking.
"Euhm, well actually…" I heard Chad say "So living room." I finally got my feet to move and I was trying to leave the room before he entered, but Matt wouldn't let me. Chad walked in and suddenly the room felt crowded. We all looked at each other.
"Chad, can you wait a minute?" Matt asked him motioning him to leave us alone for a while.
"And you're going to tell me what's going on." He turned towards me. I saw Chad's eyes widening, he hadn't moved.
"Matt, I told you already. I'm fine."
"Fine?! Do you call coming home crying fine?" He asked me, not realizing that Chad was still listening. I felt the tears coming back again.
"Matt, just Shut Up ok! I don't want to talk about it! You're just making it worse!" I shouted running past him and Chad. Matt looked shocked, but just left me alone.

"And you're going to tell me what's going on."
"Matt, I told you already. I'm fine." She isn't fine, far from it.
"Fine?! Do you call coming home crying fine?" I almost yelled at her. Why can't she just tell me?
"Matt, just Shut Up ok! I don't want to talk about it! You're just making it worse!" She snapped at me. She ran past me and up the stairs. I heard her door slam shut. I'll better leave her alone. Then I saw Chad standing there, his face full of guilt. Probably, because he was eavesdropping.
"Didn't I ask you to leave for a minute?" He shouldn't have stand there listening.
"Yes, but…" he started."Never mind."
I just let it go. I was still trying to figure out what was going on with Sonny.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Chad said suddenly.
"Yeah, sure" I answered not really listening. He ran upstairs and I sat down again still thinking.
A/N: Is Chad really going to the bathroom or is he going to make a little detour? Find out next time on Sonny with a chance of returning! Oh and please review :D
