Heeeeey readers!

I'm back :D

I'm REALLY sorry for my absence. I know you hate me, but please forgive me! It's not my fault, it's my school's (or, I should say, my teachers'). I was busy with my (stupid) homework. Why is school so terrible? *cries*

Anyways, I want to thank everybody for reviewing! Awww, 11 reviews! *-* I'm so happy!

This chapter will explain everything. Sorry if the previous one was counfusing, I wanted to put more drama... :D

BTW, I read again the 9th chapter and I noticed I wrote "on the door hand" (door instead of other xD). I mean, I didn't. Microsoft Word did. It keeps chaging words, without asking. D: But, have you ever read this expression somewhere else? No! See? It has its special something. On the door hand, LOL Seriously, I'm gonna use it again. u_u

Anywaaays, read this chapter and review! I love you all! :D

With love,

Manu

~ Chapter 10 - Astonishment

*flashback*

Wandering around Condor Studios, Chad kept daydreaming about the night before. The soft feeling of having her tiny hand in his was amazing. How could be holding her hand whenever he wanted to? He giggled at the thought. Chad continued his unknown track, trying to find something to do instead of thinking about her. He spotted Chloe and Devon walking together, an uncomfortable look on their faces. He smiled. This was exactly that kind of feeling he had when he was around Sonny. But, she had a such sunny personality that could sweep his uncomfortableness away. He went back to present and noticed that the new couple wasn't there anymore. All of a sudden, he heard footsteps behind him and instinctively turned his head back, "Hey Dev-". An horrified look grew onto his face.

"Cooper," Christopher approached him, smirking.

"Christopher." He stated.

"I'm glad I've found you. Well, actually I'm not, but I want to talk to you about something." The eyes of the brown-haired guy darkened.

"What?" Chad gave him a quizzical look, hoping he wouldn't have talked about Sonny.

"I want to talk about Sonny." Forget it.

"There's nothing to say about this topic. If you don't mind, I gotta go." Chad began to walk away, but Christopher stopped him, "I don't think so, Cooper. We have a LOT to talk about."

Chad gulped, praying to God to save him from that situation. "What do you want to know?" Chad sighed, fake-annoyed.

"I already know everything. This is why I'm here. You're stubborn, Chad. Haven't you learn the lesson yet?" Chad blinked, more scared than before. "I saw you and her some days ago, when you drove her home. I know you went in her dressing room when you cut your hand. I observed you and her dancing together yesterday night, like a couple. The thing you don't get, Cooper, is that she IS my girlfriend. Stay. Away. From. Her." Christopher said, in a single breath.

"The thing you don't get, Christopher, is that she has deep feelings for me. It won't ever change." Chad replied, being the self-confident person he was.

Christopher glared at him, "I know. But it WILL change. I want to ask you a favor: if she'll show up to you and tell you her feelings, just say you don't feel the same." Christopher explained.

"What? I won't. I DO feel the same."

"Oh, you will. You don't want her to get hurt, right?" He asked with a threatening expression.

Sonny. Get. Hurt.

"N-no.." Chad stuttered. Christopher smirked, "Perfect. Just do it if you want to keep her safe." He stated and left, before Chad could answer back.

The blond actor stood there, emotionless, knowing his life had just been destroyed.

*end flashback*

~ They say life may be complicated. Just let people who love you, comfort you.

Sadly, they didn't mention to be comforted by the person who made you suffer.

Wrapped in a fleece blanket, Sonny cried her heart out. He didn't love her. She was so silly. Chad Dylan Cooper feeling the same about her? A crazy thought.

She wanted to cancel her whole speech with Chad, that kiss she gave him. Yet, she was sure he felt the same. Yes, she was. Maybe because he made her think this way.

She felt humiliated and hurt at the same time. Why does everything go wrong?

A knock on the door echoed in the room, followed by another one. She didn't want to move, but reluctantly she stood up; she fixed quickly her hair and her make-up and opened the door. As she did, Christopher appeared with a bunch of roses in his hand.

Sonny froze and stepped back, scared.

Christopher raised his hand, "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm sorry, Sonny. Please, let me in."

Sonny stared at him suspicious.

"Sonny, I was too jealous about him. I really, truly love you. You're the one for me, I don't want to lose you." Christopher confessed, walking towards her.

Sonny eyes began to water, "D-do you?" she asked. He nodded. "And, I'm the only one who does." He said, clearly alluding to Chad. As she heard these words, she burst into tears, again.

She cried a lot, lately.

Christopher wrapped his arms around her.

He had won.

~ They say life is made of obstacles. You can jump them, though.

He felt like a pawn.

Someone controlled each of his moves. It was frustrating.

He was on a big checkerboard: the rival was waiting for his move, to make his. The winning move.

Check.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal. He didn't give up. Another move and another one.

After a few seconds there wasn't escape.

Checkmate.

The rival won the game. No return match.

His love life was like a game of chess.

Chad stood up, after half an hour of crying like a desperate. It was time to react! Sweeping away his tears, he grabbed firmly his laptop and turned it on. There must be something about him. Something he could use against Christopher . He didn't know enough about that jerk. What if he was a criminal? But he was an actor, right? That wouldn't have any sense. Finally, the screen brightened, showing his desktop. Chad opened the browser and started typing Christopher's name. He clicked on the first result, open-mouthed.

It can't be true.

"What the…?"

What do you think? :) Review *_*
