I think I know where I'm going with this now…I think. I just posted the first chapter of a new story and then got an idea. I'm going to speed up my story; even I'm getting bored with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own SWAC or Wicked.
Enjoy.
I was making my way to Portlyn's room. I was going to ask her about what she had told me in the pool. Chad had said something that made her upset and she felt uncomfortable talking to me about it. I knocked on her door and waited until she said, "Come in!"
"Hey Port," I opened the door.
"Oh. Hey, Sonny." Portlyn smiled. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she shifted her hair over her shoulder to hide them.
"What's wrong?" I got down on my knees next to her and looked concerned.
She looked up, choking back sobs. "Remember in the pool, when I told you I felt uncomfortable about something?"
"Yeah," I murmured. "I actually came up here to talk about it."
She shook her head and pressed play on a video camera that was on the floor.
I watched curiously, trying to make out what was happening. It was Chad in bed, sleeping. Oh, no. He started to mumble something.
"Portlyn, this isn't important." I stood.
"Sit down, Sonny."
I did as I was told.
"I love you, Sonny," Chad was muttering in his sleep. Silent tears streaked down Portlyn's face.
Don't forget what I told you…I love you…brown eyes…"
I started to cry. Why was this on tape?
Portlyn…no…Sonny, Sonny…I love you…
I hugged Portlyn and she squeezed me tight, sobbing into my shoulder. I couldn't take this anymore.
Please, Sonny… I love you, Sonny…oh…Sonny
I pulled back from Portlyn and furiously unplugged all the crap connected to the camera. I took out the chip and threw the camera against the wall with as much strength I could muster up.
"That was Skylar's…" Portlyn sobbed.
"I'm having a talk with him." I muttered, furious.
"Chad, or Sklylar?" She asked.
I picked up the remaining pieces. I ran to the door and turned around to see her broken expression and wet tears.
"Both." And I slammed the door shut.
I banged on Skylar and Chad's door and Chad opened it. Behind him I saw Skylar sitting on his bed watching T.V.
"Excuse me," I said to Chad. Awkward!
"Well," I talked too loud. I was trying to keep from screaming at Skylar as I spoke directly to him. I couldn't control how loud it was. "Well, well, well."
He smirked. "You saw the tape?"
I smiled widely and sarcastically. "Yeah, that one! On this chip, right?
I pulled the chip behind my back into his view.
"Yeah…" Skylar murmured.
I heard Chad chuckle and realized he could see the destroyed camera.
"Oh, and on this camera?" I asked politely and sarcastically. I felt powerful.
"That was a thousand dollars!" Skylar yelled.
I threw it on the ground again and stomped all over it.
"Well, what was on it was worth nothing! You little…" I couldn't think of a bad enough word. My voice then lowered to a whisper.
"You should have just kept that for yourself, Skylar. You showed it to Portlyn?! That's just not right."
I shook my head at him. I kicked the remains if the camera toward him and smiled once again.
"Good luck fixing it." I turned and walked away.
"Wait a minute," Chad stopped me. "What was on it?"
"You don't want to know." I rolled my eyes.
"Actually, I do."
I sighed. "Come on."
I made my way to the computer downstairs. Down the elevator and thorugh the hotel, we were silent. My silence was furious, his was confused.
When I reached it, I put the chip in and the movie popped up. I faced Chad.
"Listen. When you see this, I just want you to know, Portlyn saw it. I'm surprised she hasn't broke up with you yet. You keep hurting her without even knowing it. But, Skylar taped it for her. And me. He's told me about it before. So, it's my blackmail. Don't break it or anything."
I pressed play and he sat down. When he saw what was going on he quickly got up and walked away. I stood in front of him and gripped the front of his shirt.
"If you are a man in any way you'll watch it and take the consequences like one." I whispered.
He sat back down with a blank expression. He put his head in his hands and rubbed his forehead. When I stopped it, I looked down on him. I wasn't flattered in any way, I was pissed.
"Look, Sonny. I'm sorry. I can't control myself when I'm asleep…"
"What was your dream about the day you helped me make breakfast for the casts?" I asked, not caring about what he had to say.
"…You." He sighed.
"And what was happening in this dream of yours?"
"I-I finally got the guts to kiss you and it felt amazing."
I was a little flattered now. It felt amazing? I'm sure it would be. I licked my lips and shifted uncomfortably, he bit his lip. I shook my head and glared at him. I grabbed the chip out of the computer.
"Keep dreaming."
"As you all know, this is the day you get your scripts!" Eivon told us. I sighed.
I was holding Portlyn's hand as she leaned in to me, sad. Chad had broken up with her. She said she was happy about it because their relationship was not healthy in any way. I was sort of upset now about my part. Chad and I had to kiss and act like we loved each other in the play. I was nervous, I would have loved to anytime but now.
"Read it over and if you have any questions, I'll be at center stage." She smiled and walked away.
Portlyn and I walked over to the seats and sat next to each other, reading the scripts.
"Cool, I come in a bubble." Portlyn mumbled.
I laughed. "I get to wear all black, sweet!"
"Portlyn and Sonny, please come here!" Eivon yelled.
We got up and she told us what was going on. She wanted us to sing some of the songs we had to sing for our characters. She gave us the lyrics and sent us to far right stage. We had to sing to each other and the other had to give criticism.
Eivon called up others and soon we were all singing to one another. Eivon was coming around and listening. She nodded and patted Chad's shoulder when she walked by. I glared. Portlyn got done singing I'm Not That Girl. I sang As Long As You're Mine. Then we decided to sing For Good together.
"You start, I'll come in later." I told her.
"Okay,"
She started to sing.
"I've heard it's said, that people come into our lives for a reason…"
When Eivon came over it was my turn to sing.
"It well may be, that we'll never meet again in this lifetime…"
Eivon looked amazed. I sang to Portlyn and she was smiling at me.
When we were finished, Eivon was gaping.
"Miss Monroe, that was brilliant!" She chirped.
"Thank you," I murmured.
"And Portlyn, your voice is really pretty," Eivon praised.
Portlyn smiled.
"I guess I'm just not that girl, huh?" Portlyn laughed, and I hugged her.
She began to cry again. I glanced over at Chad. He was watching Portlyn with a hurt expression on his face. He looked up and caught my eye, and he shook his head at himself looking away.
"Alright, we're changing partners everyone!" Eivon called.
I waited until I heard my name, and then I got hooked up with Chad. Sweet.
I walked over to him with my arms folded.
When everyone started singing, I looked up to see he was copying my position.
"Did you apologize yet?" I asked him.
"Yeah…" He sighed.
"Why would you even think like that?"
"I don't know, Sonny. It was a dream. Nothing else."
"When you dream, you're thinking of the most pleasant or biggest thing that happened to you that day. You must have thought something about me that wasn't exactly normal for us."
"You know what I think?" He asked. "I think that you should start singing As Long As You're Mine so we can get this over with."
I glared, but started to sing, never taking my eyes from his.
Eivon came over again and looked shocked at how our voices sounded together.
"You two are destined for each other!" She squealed.
I stared at Chad. When we sang together, something clicked. I had never sang with him before, and when I did, it felt amazing. He was suddenly making me nervous, and I realized I had just fallen for Chad Dylan Cooper through a song.
I am such a sap.
What neither of them knew, was that the other was thinking the same thing.
Good or bad? Next chapter they're going to rehears a scene. Finally, right?
