Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot line :(

Chapter 10

"Why didn't you tell me? I can't believe you Tawni!" I shouted as soon as we were outside, where they hopefully couldn't hear us.

"I'm sorry. But I didn't expect her to come over today, and I figured you would be asleep until late, and you had just got here, and you had just started to try and get better, and you're pregnant, and I just didn't want to stress you out…"

"Okay, okay! Tawni, its okay. You were just trying to protect my feelings, I get that. Is there any other news I should know about?"

"You know the wedding's in two weeks?" she said. I gulped, trying to hold back the tears that instantly wanted to spill over when she said that.

"Yeah, I know that. He's happy, right?" I asked, her, my eyes pleading.

"I think so. But he still loves you, Sonny."

"I still love him too. But I don't want to ruin his life. I'll avoid him as much as I can. I won't speak to him. I won't hang around you guys. I won't go to the wedding. I can't make things awkward, and I definitely can't ruin his relationship with Alyssa. He's moved on. He's over me. He has a life now, and I'm not going to ruin it."

"Come on, Sonny! You don't have to avoid him, he won't die because you're around him."

"Yeah, but I might." I replied softly. She understood then, and pulled me into a quick but meaningful hug.

"Sorry. I get it. C'mon, let's go. I'll find you some clothes, then I'll drive you to work."

"Thanks Tawni. Wait, work? Shit! I forgot!"

"What time do you need to be there?"

"Any time before eleven."

"Well, it's just gone ten, so we've got time. You'll just have to be quick, okay?"

"Yeah. Come on then, I can't be late!" I said, walking around her to head back towards the house, bracing myself in case I saw Chad again.

Luckily, I didn't. But I did see Alyssa. I was in my room, after Tawni had given me some jeans and a T-Shirt. I had just finished getting changed when I heard a timid knock on the door. I yelled for them to come in, expecting it to be Tawni, and was shocked when Alyssa stepped through the doorway and smiled nervously.

"Hey Sonny. I thought I'd ask you about what happened earlier. You know, with you and Dylan." she said nervously. I was confused for a short second, before remembering that she knew Chad as Dylan.

"Oh, yeah. Look, you have nothing to worry about. Whatever we had all those years ago, it's long gone."

"It didn't look that way…"

"Well, we haven't seen each other for all these years. We just got caught up in the moment. We always used to do that, when we both worked at Condor."

"Only, back then, you actually kissed, right? There were no annoying fiancées to interrupt." She sighed, and I gasped, shocked that she would think that.

"No! We never kissed. Well, once, but never mind that…"

"That night he was talking about? When you lied to, you know…" she blushed. I was surprised to see a grown woman blush at the mention of sex, but, then again, if I hadn't changed, I would probably been the same.

"Yeah. And, look, you're not annoying. You're really nice, and I want to be your friend. The problem is…I'm still in love with Chad. And I'm not going to do anything about it, don't worry. He's over me, he loves you. Okay?"

"Yeah. I guess it's hard, knowing that you're still in love with him, but there's nothing anyone can do about that, so…I want to be friends, Sonny."

"So do I." I smiled, and she held out her hand for me to shake. Laughing, I pulled her into a hug, and she tensed at first, but relaxed after a moment or two.

When we pulled apart, I smiled, but she suddenly looked serious.

"Sonny?" she asked stonily, and I wondered what I could have possibly done.

"Yeah?"

"I plan to fight for him. You know that, right? I'm not just going to let you have him."

"What? But I told you, I don't want him." I said, confused.

"Yeah, right. You admitted that you love him, Sonny. You might not plan to, but eventually, you will get jealous, and you will try to get him back. All I'm saying is that I'm going to fight for him. And I'm not opposed to playing dirty. Okay?" she said.

"Okay…" I said, and she smiled, suddenly happy again.

"Great. As long as we understand each other. I'll see you later, yeah?" she turned and left my room, leaving me feeling very confused and slightly afraid. I knew that I wasn't planning to try to get Chad back, but what if she was right? What if I did get so jealous that I tried, regardless of their engagement? I knew then, more than I ever had before, that I had to be very, very careful and avoid Chad as much as humanly possible in the next two weeks until the wedding.

Okay, so after this chapter, I think you guys will have some mixed feelings about Alyssa, but I like her, so please don;t be too harsh; if Sonny and Alyssa's roles were reversed, and Sonny did the same thing, you guys wouldn't hate Sonny, would you? :P let me know your opinion in a review! :D
