Chapter 10
disclaimer- i own nothing
-Sonnys POV-
***********************************************************************
Ok, it was official. I was 100% confused with what was going on. Yesterday Chad had broken up with Tawni, and then driven off in his motorcycle for hours, causing me to stay up all night waiting for him to get back. Then, he came back and came to my house and we talked until the sun came out. Why was I confused then? Because I kept getting mixed signals from him. At times he would act like a brother towards me, and at others I felt like he wanted to kiss me. I decided that its time to either do something about my feelings for Chad and just tell him, or try my hardest to lock them away forever, because who was I trying to fool? Im just the geeky girl and hes the jock, and we all know the the handsome prince only falls for the poor girl with a big heart in fairytales. Great right? Unfortunately, life isnt a fairytale. I knew what I had to do. It was time to lock away all my love feelings for him and trow away the key.
I got up from my bed, went to the restroom and washed my face and teeth. Then I went to my vanity mirror and brushed the tangles out of my hair. I finally got to look outside and saw that the day was against me. It was clousy again and I turned to my alarm clock, noticing for the first time that it was almost 1 in the afternoon. Wow. I never slept this late and I was supriced that my mom hadnt come to check on me. Usually by nine I was up and helping her out around the house. I went dowstairs and looked for my mom, but only found a paper where she wrote that she had to go run an errand, but would be back soon. I headed for the front door to pick up our mail and looked up to the sky. It was cloudy, the same as my mood and it looked like it was about to rain. I picked up my mail and went back inside.
I decided to eat some Lucky Charms to help me clear my mind. They didnt help, the whole time I kept thinking about Chad and how much I wish I had the guts to tell him that I was in love with him, that all those times he would tell me he felt like he didnt know where he belonged, I was dying to tell him that I knew where he belonged, that he belonged with me. Then a song popped into my head, I had been working on it for a few days,but I hadnt had the perfect lyrics to complete this song. I ran upstairs and picked up my guitar and started playing along to the lyrics as they popped up in my mind. It was perfect. I picked up my phone and called Nico. I asked him to hold an emergency rehersal at his house. I got dressed in some sweats and ran out the door and to Nicos house.
Chads POV
Ughh. This is what happens when you stay up all night. My head hurted and my hair was a mess. Plus, just as Sonny had predicted, I had bags under my eyes. I was only glad they were barely noticable. I got up and went to take a shower. After I was done I looked at my clock and saw that it was after 2, that meant that I had five hours to get to prom. I really didnt want to go, but I was expected to. It was the Junior Prom and I was considered the king of the school. Plus, next year was senior prom and that was one thing I wanted to win. Since we were juniors, they would pick a prince, which everyone had decided would be me, and during the prom, the judges would decide who the most beautiful girl was and pick her as the princess and were nominated for queen next year. I couldnt stop myself from wishing that Sonny would one day, or at least for one day, be my princess.
I got dressed and got my keys. It was a theme dance so I had to go pick up my suit. Obviously I was gonna be a prince so I headed out to pick it up. It was suppose to be quick, just go in, get my tux, and ge out. But no. Instead, I was stuck in there for 2 hours while they tried to find it since apparently it got mailed to the wrong store. Today was not going well.
Sonnys POV
The song had turned out great. It explained everything that I felt and I knew that if I sang any of my songs at the dance, I would tell Chad that I was in love with him. And that was exactly why I wasnt going to go. As soon as we finished and the song was perfect, I told Nico that I wasnt going to the dance. He whined and pleaded for me to go, but I couldnt, there was too much at risk if I revealed my feelings and it was better to not take any chances. I told him to let Portlyn sing, the girl really was great. I got to my house and noticed that it was starting to get dark. It was still cloudy, and looked like it might start to rain and thunder any second. There was not one star in sight. I headed up to my room and saw Chad getting ready for the was going to be the handsome prince who would dance with the lucky princess and give her a fairytale night. Too bad I would never be that girl.
He saw me and started looking around his desk until he found his notebook and wrote " YOU GOING TONIGHT?". I got mine and wrote back " NO, STUDYING". It wasnt a complete lie. Studying did help to keep my mind off him, its just that it wasnt the real reason for me not wanting to go. He gave me a small smile and answered " WISH YOU WERE". I saw how his face dropped a little, as if hurt that I wasnt going to be there. I couldnt inderstand why. He was the prince, meaning he was going to be dancing with the most beautiful girl at the dance, he would even notice if I was there or not. So why did he look so sad that I wasnt going? Was there really a chance that he cared about me the way I did about him? There were so many questions that I needed to hear some advice from a cool head. I knew what I had to do. I had to talk to my mom.
I ran downstairs and saw my mom sitting down on the sofa. I ran to the sofa and sat down in front of her indian style.
"Mom, I have boy troubles" I suddenly told her
" Well whats wrong honey?" she asked me
" Ok, so theres this guy..." I started
" Honey, lets be truthfull, we both know 'this guy' is Chad" she told me with a small smile. Yeah, it was my own fault for thinking my mom wouldnt figure it out.
" Well, yeah" I admitted. " Anyways, Im in love with him mom, but you know hes my bestfriend, and Im afraid that if I tell him how I feel, he'll get scare and try to seperate himself from me. But I dont understand him because sometimes he treats me like im his bestfriend and others like if he likes me as more then that and I dont know what to do because I just love him so much and " I was interrupted by my mom telling me to stop. I realized that I had run out of breath and that I was talking so fast that she probably didnt even understand everything that i told her.
" Honey, breathe. Ok, the way I see it, your complicating this way too much honey. Now theres only a couple of questions that you have to ask yourself to know what your gonna do. Do you know what they are?" she asked me. I shook my head no.
" Well first off, are you in love with him?" she asked me
" I love him more then anyone else in this world"
" Does he make you feel safe and tingles all over?"
" I feel like im going to faint everytime he hugs me"
" Can you live happily withouth him?"
" No, I seriously dont think I can, thats why Im so afraid I'll scare him away"
" Honey, can you handle him being with someone who isnt you again?"
I had to think about that question. I had hated all the time that he was with Tawni, but I had been able to handle it because I always knew it wouldnt last. But now he wasnt with her anymore, he was single and he was handsome and charming and he would probably fall in love with someone else, maybe the dance princess, and she could be nice and pretty and then what? I would lose him forever.
" No" And I knew as soon as I answered her that I had to go to that dance and I had to tell him how I felt. " Mom, I have to go to the dance and tell him how I feel, If I dont do it now, I dont think I'll ever be able to" And then I remembered I didnt have anything to wear and that we had a Masquerade Dance. " I dont have anything to wear though" I sighed
" Well, thats not entirely true" My mom told me. I gave her a 'huh?' look.
" Well, you know earlier when I was running my errand? I kind off went to go pick up something in case you changed your mind and decided that you wanted to go to the dance" she answered me. Then she took my hand and led me upstairs to her room. She opened her closet and pulled out a beautiful purple dress that looked like it had diamonds embroided all over holding it up. It was my dream princess dress. Then she went to her bed and took a box out. In it, was a beautifull mask and a necklace, and pair of white elbow lenght gloves. Everything was beautiful
" Oh my god mom" I sighed, still amazed at how awesome my mom was for doing this.
" Sonny, you are an extremely beautiful girl and I can bet my life that Chad is in love with you. Honey, you dont see the way he looks at you, but I do, and its the way you look at someone you truly love. So come on, its almost 6 and the latest your getting to that dance is 8 o'clock. It time to dazzle him honey" She told me with a smile. I hugged her tightly. I dont know what I would ever do without her.
It was almost 8 but I was ready. My mom had straightend all my hair but curled the tips. She had done my make-up using only natural colors that made my eyes look even bigger then they allready were, and I had on my dress with some pretty silver heels. It was time.
We drove to the dance and I texted Nico telling him that I was here and to get everything ready for me to sing. He texted me back in 10 minutes and told me everything was ready. I put on the large black coat with the hood over me and my dress and headed inside. I went in through the back and met with Nico and the gang. I took off my coat as soon as I was sure that only they would see me.
" Wow! Sonny you look beautiful" Nico told me
" Yeah Sonny, I think your the prettiest girl here" Grady told me
" Aww Sonny, There goes my chances to be Princess" Portlyn told me with a smile, and I knew she was just complimenting me
" Thanks you guys, is everything ready?" I asked them. They all nodded.
" Portlyn, can you help me with something" I asked her, but signaled for her to follow me privately.
" Whats up Sonny?"
" Do you know where Chad is?"
" Yeah, hes been walking around since he got here, just drinking punch and pretty much ignoring everyone" she answered me
" Thanks Portlyn". She nodded and went on stage.
Outside and on stage.
" Ok people, gather around. Today were gonna play a song that was written by one of our group members to a special someone, if you know what I mean" he joked. " Well, dont hate us if its not perfect, but we barely came up with it today, so enjoy!" He finished.
I heard the music start to play. Ok sonny, its now or never, I thought to myself. It was my cue to come out so I did and began singing.
You're
on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off
about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I
do
I spotted Chad looking at me and I made eye contact with him. I wanted him to know that this song was for him, and I knew he understood me. He just watched me and I smiled to myself when I saw his mouth fall open a little when he truly took in the way I looked today.
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts If you could see that I'm the one who understands
you Walkin the streets with you in your
worn out jeans And you've got a smile that could light up this whole
town She wears high heels, I wear sneakers If you could see that I'm the one who
understands you Standin by, waiting at your back door Oh I remember you driving to my house in the
middle of the night
I'm
in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind
of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I
do
She's cheer
captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll
wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the
whole time
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with
me
You belong with me
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to
be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this
easy?
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You
say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a
girl like that?
She's
cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when
you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here
the whole time
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You
belong with me
All
this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You
belong with me
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know
you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me
about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know
it's with me.
I started walking down the stage steps and he started walking towards me. Everyone could tell and they all moved to the sides, opening a path that we could take. I froze when I saw Tawni move towards Chad and try to hug him, but he just shook her off and kept walking towards me. I had to smile when I saw her face, she looked so shocked and angry that he was picking me. He stopped right in front of me and I kept singing.
Standing by or
waiting at your back door
Can't
you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along
so why can't you see?
You belong with me
All this time how could you not know
that
You belong with me
You belong with me
I wrapped my arms lazily around his neck, but I just rested them there and kept singing.
Have
you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
"You belong with me" I whispered to him when the music was coming to an ending and thats when it happend. He placed his hands on my head softly and lowered his lips towards mine to kiss me. The kiss was sweet and soft and I poured all my love and confusion into it. And I realized that this was what I was missing all that time. That he was all I needed and we belonged together. Our lips parted and everyone started clapping for us. He raised his hand up to my face, stroked my cheek, and took my mask off. He stared into my eyes and I waited for him to do something. He lowered his hand to mine and pulled it, signaling me to follow him.
We went outside and sat on a small bench that had been decorated specifically for the dance. ( Imagine the twilight scene where edward and bella dance, sorry, mayor twilight freak here lol). We sat down and I smiled shyly at him. I wondered if he was regretting kissing me, or maybe he thought I was someone else or maybe he was trying to think of how he could avoid me for the rest of his life or, I was inturrepted from my inner fight when he started talking.
" Im sorry" he whispered
" Sorry for what?" I asked him and I knew he was regretting kissing me.
" For being such an idiot" he answered me
" Your not an idiot Chad, I should be sorry for kissing you, I know you only look at me as a friend and your probably regretting kissing me and you might never want to talk to me again and" he interrupted me again by placing his finger on my lips.
" Dont be sorry Sonny, Im not." he said
" Then what are you sorry for Chad?" I asked him
" Im sorry for never being able to see what was right in front of me, whats always been in front of me. Im sorry for wasting time with other people when we could have been together since so long ago. For being so blind and almost losing the best thing thats ever happened to me. Because you are the best thing thats ever happened to me Sonny. Your everything I've always looked for in a girl, youre sweet, smart, funny, and beautiful. And you know what, I think my hearts always know that you were it, it just took my head a while to figure it out" he said and smiled at me.
" Dont be sorry Chad, I think that we both had to go through everything that we have to truly be able to cherish our relationship. Youve always been here for me Chad, youre my bestfriend, and I trust you more than anyone in the world. And I know that your always going to be number one in my heart." I finished and blushed. I was ecstatic at this moment. I couldnt believe that I was telling Chad how much I cared about him and he felt the same way about me. Chad leaned down towards me and I could tell he was going to kiss me again. My heart soared, this moment was perfect and nothing could ruin it. But it was.
" Chad come on, theyre calling you, you can go back to kissing your girlfriend later, but now theyre about to announce the Prince and Princess" John, one of Chads friends, said. Chad groaned and stood up, then streched out his hand toward me. I took his hand and followed him inside, where Nico was about to announce the winners.
" Okay my people lets give it up for this years Prince, our one and only C.D.C, Chad Dylan Cooper!" announced Nico over the speakers. I had to giggle when I saw Chad make his way to the stage, the entire female student body almost drooling at him, and some guys mumbling about how they should have been prince. Last years Prince placed the crown on Chads hair and I saw him squirm, so like Chad to worry about his hair being messed up, even if it was by a crown.
" And now the votes are in, the judges have decided that this years Princess, is none other then the beautiful ... Allison ' Sonny ' Monroe. Give it up for our Princess Sonny!!" Nico said.
What? I had won? how? The princess was always the pretties girl at the dance and I turned my head around and saw Tawni glaring at me, then I looked up and saw Chad streching his hand out for me. I walked over to the top of the stage, still not completely sure I had won. Last years Princess placed a tiara in my hair and handed me a bouquet of red roses.
" Give it up for this years Prince and Princess, Chad Dylan Cooper and Sonny Monroe" The crowd errupted with applause. Me and Chad walked off the stage and he led me to the center of the dance floor. The lights were turned off except for a spotlight that was placed directly towards us, and Chad whispered to me that we had to have a dance as the royal couple. Then the song Love Remains the Same by Gavin Rossdale started playing and we danced to the music, Chad leading. We kept dancing until the song ended, then we stopped. Chad looked at me and smiled.
" I love you Sonny Monroe" he declared with a small smile.
" I love you too Chad Dylan Cooper" I answered him with a blush.
He leaned down towards me and kissed me again, but this time there wasnt any confusion or fear in it. The only thing we both felt was trust, happiness, and love. The crowd watching us started cheering and some said 'awww' while others said 'its about time'. We both blushed and smiled. Needless to say, it was the best night of my entire life. Me and Chad confessed our love for each other and he finally realized that he belonged with me.
