Chapter 10: Take Me To The Riot
A/N: Thank goodness I've finished a chapter tonight…I almost didn't have the chance to update because I couldn't think of what to write for this one, thankfully I had a little help from some friends who gave me some ideas! I'd love to hear what you guys think though so again…please leave me reviews because I love reading them..and to those who are leaving me them reviews thank you!
Chapter title is from a song by a band called "Stars"
~Sonny's POV~
"So do you think Gage actually likes you?" Tawni poked my back with her foot. We decided to sleep in the living room, Tawni on the couch and me on a sleeping bag on the floor. I groaned annoyed at the fact that she had to disrupt my sleep for such silly questions "No, now go to sleep" I pulled my blanket over my body "But what if it's true?" she gasped at the thought "two of them would be fighting over you…it's completely medieval if you ask me" I wanted to ignore her, just close my eyes and dream away but Tawni and I rarely had these girl to girl conversations and as much as I hated to admit but these were kind of fun…The idea of Gage and Chad fighting over me was completely unimaginable and completely far-fetched…for one Gage and I barely knew each other and second Chad would never participate in anything that might damage his award winning face.
"Chad just made that story up because he didn't want me doing a sketch with his brother…" I turned to face her so that my voice could be heard. I was tired actually but not tired enough to still have a decent conversation "you're probably right… it was just something that crossed my mind randomly…I mean how weird would that be right? Two brothers after the same girl…those things only happens at Mackenzie Falls" Tawni turned her back at me and probably dozed off, leaving me to my thoughts and to finally get my much wanted sleep.

I rode with Tawni to the studio today and quite ready for rehearsals with Gage…I read the 3 paged script and everything "Hey everyone!" I smiled at Grady, Nico and Zora who were scattered around the So Random set. Tawni had to take a make-up class in geometry today and so she had to miss the first half of the rehearsals not that she minded…Tawni was all about Geometry this morning…telling me how her spherical head was well proportioned. "Sonny Hey, Hey! Where's Chad?" Grady slid beside me offering me and Ice cold can of Coke which I took and popped open before taking a sip.
"I dunno…why do you think I know where Chad is all the time?" I raised an eyebrow at him, they always ask me that question everytime and expect me to know the answer…it was so weird. "because his hand is always attached to yours every morning that you step into the studio" Nico shrugged and I gave them a look "well I'm not with him today…he has this early photo shoot and since Tawni slept over last night I asked her for a ride" I rolled my eyes at them and they just smirked. "So tell me Sonny…" Zora decided to make her presence known and butt into the conversation "why is it that Chad asked us to look over you today?" she asked and I looked at them confusedly. "Chad did what!? Why!?" I gasped, looking at the two guys then at Zora.
"Chad asked us not to say anything but I figured you had to know" she whispered and that added more to my confusion "Look if Chad asks you didn't hear it from us okay? We already got paid!" Nico pleaded with me so I just nodded "why did he want you guys to look after me?" I demanded to know and it was Grady who first cracked the answer "He says he doesn't trust Gage and since we didn't like Gage we agreed to beat him up if he tries anything bad" Grady waved his fist in the air but Zora just stomped on his foot making the blonde male yelp and hop around on one foot as he nursed the other.
It doesn't make sense…Chad was never possessive and neither has he bribed my friends to keep me away from male guest stars even if they were as gorgeous as he was…what was the deal with his brother anyway? My questions were disregarded when I saw Gage walking into the studio 20 minutes late not that Marshall was here to tell the time "you're late!" I called out to him and the older Cooper grinned sheepishly at me "someone unplugged my alarm clock last night" he said and I raised an eyebrow "a girlfriend?" I teased making him laugh "a brother…" he shrugged and this time I was the one who laughed.
"can you guys not hover so much?" I turned to my castmates who flanked my sides when Gage stepped in "fine…we'll stand over there…but we'll be watching you" Zora warned us and headed off "like hawks with night vision" Nico added as he and Grady followed the young girl towards the snack table "are your friends always glued to back?" Gage asked mockingly and I made a face at him "No…it's just now, Chad paid them to be my bodyguard for the day" I admitted, glancing over to the gang who waved at us from the corner.
"Chad hired them to look after you…" I wasn't sure if he was asking or stating so I just nodded "yep…" I drew in some breath "well that's just like Chad…always the over jealous boyfriend" he shrugged, I turned to him and smiled "no he's not the jealous type…it's just that --" I told him but he didn't seem convinced "I dunno…did you say anything to him that might've set him off?" I had to ask about what Chad had told me last night but I didn't want to blurt out the question 'do you like me?' and end up having him laugh in my face.
"I don't know…I say a lot of things that set Chad off; that's been our way of life since I left for Europe" he smirked at me so I tried to think of another subtle way to ask "well anything in particular to make him want to pay my friends to flank me?" I motioned to my castmates once again. Gage laughed and waved at them before turning his attention back to me "I dunno…Chad was acting kind of weird last night now that I think about it…" he crossed his arms over his chest and knitted his eyebrows as if he was thinking hard about it.
"Chad told me that you told him that you liked me…" I blurted out unable to think of another subtle way of asking the question I really wanted to know the answer to. He looked at me oddly, taken aback by the question that came out of my mouth…it even took him a few moments to reply "you're my brother's girlfriend…I like you but not in that way" he told me with a shrug, his eyes setting on mine "Chad didn't honestly think that way did he?" He looked almost offended and so I sighed "just forget I asked; maybe Chad was just having a bad day…happens to the most of us" I scratched the back of my head.
