I'M SO SO SO SO SOOOO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED! In my defense, I've been in and out of the hospital. So get over it :D

Anyways... Holy shapoozle-moozle! Thanks for the reviews! We got to 300! Guys, like this is seriously so awesome. Thanks so much! I truly appreciate each and every one of you that reviewed and I'm so sorry it took so long.

Well, onward my friends... enjoy (:

Today was the comforting competition. My future girlfriend would need to be able to make me feel better, so they all needed to prove themselves. The scenario was a death in my family and all the contestants had to make me laugh and they'd pass.

One girl had already gone - Alana. She had been slightly hyper, her excitement taking over. It wasn't that big of a deal, though. She met all of my requirements: soothing, encouraging and some-what calm. Ehh... maybe not so calm. But I mean she was the first person to go so she was probably a little jumpy with nervousness anyway.

Chelsea was the next girl who came in.

"Chad, what's wrong?" She asked, winking.

I furrowed my brows with fake sadness, "Oh, Chels… My mom died!"

This was so orchestrated to the point that it was funny.

"Oh my! I totally know how you feel!" She told me. "My gold fish died early last year and I was devastated."

"Oh, isn't it just the worst?"

"Oh you know it! I completely lost it. Barry and I were just so close." She faux-sobbed, holding a hand to her heart dramatically.

I laughed. "I totally know what you mean."

We went back and forth for a few minutes about Barry, laughing our heads off. I then heard a knock on the door and stopped laughing. I began to gather myself together for the next contestant to come in.

"Well, times up. Thanks Chels! I feel so much better now."

"No problem, Chaddy!" She exclaimed, skipping out of the room. I laughed and waved.

Devon walked back inside, holding his brown clipboard tightly in his arms.

"Barry the goldfish? Dude, that girl just fed you a load of crap."

"Well it worked. That certainly would have raised my hopes up if my mom really had died."

Dev smiled, handing me the clipboard. I jotted down my observations and thoughts and tossed it back to him. He caught it with a grin, my actions bringing back memories of our younger years, and walked out of the room once again.

I heard the door as it creaked open and put on the saddest, most emotional face I could muster. It turned out that Catherine was up next and I tried my best not to gag in disgust. There's just something about that girl… I don't know. Something was definitely off.

"Hey Chad, how are you doing? Chelsea told me what happened," she said, sitting down next to me.

I sighed sadly. "I'm doing alright. It's just such a shock… I never thought this would happen to me, you know?"

She nodded. "You know, my dad died when I was ten. And it was really hard, and my mom never got over it, but life went on. You can't just can't focus on things like that. Every stab someone receives will heal eventually, and every wound will mold over into fresh skin."

"That was deep, Catherine." Chad complimented. "So if you've been through this, what would you recommend to make me feel better?"

Catherine smirked and lowered her voice to a sultry whisper, "Oh I have just the thing to cheer you up, dead mom or not."

She begun leaning in with her brows creased as if she was looking for a zit or examining my lips. Wait, back up. Examining my lips?

Apparently she had been, because the next thing I knew she was kissing me. My eyes widened in shock and nearly popped out of my skull as she continued to kiss me, not leaving it as just a peck like I would have wanted. I quickly closed my eyes and responded to the kiss to give the poor girl a chance.

I tried to keep my thoughts on Catherine, I really did, but I just couldn't focus on her. For some reason my thoughts kept drifting to Sonny and her big chocolate eyes and beautiful chestnut hair. I would give anything to be kissing her right now instead of Catherine. God, I hope she doesn't walk by and see us in this situation... she would never let me explain!

Catherine then took a turn for the worse and climbed on top of me, straddling my waist seductively. What the hell was this girl's problem? Would she seriously go make out with a guy after his mom supposedly died? I gently pushed her off by her shoulders so she would tumble next to me on the couch. She looked at me, confused, as if I had randomly slapped her. I hadn't, of course. Chad Dylan Cooper is a gentleman.

"Uh, hello? My mom just died," I reminded her, hoping she would catch on. She shook her head, amused, obviously not taking the hint.

"No she didn't, silly. I saw her earlier this week! I knew that was just a ploy to get me to comfort you! Unlike the other girls here, I know what this competition is really about." She smirked, leaning in to kiss me again.

I backed away as fast as I could, slamming myself into the arm of the couch roughly. I put my hands in front of me and created a sad excuse of a barrier to keep myself away from her advances. She grimaced, upset with my behavior as I found myself panting, overwhelmed with her attempts to get in my pants.

"This competition isn't about sex, Catherine," I told her, "It's about meeting the perfect girl. And if my mom really had just died, I would want to be comforted, not pleasured."

She scoffed, obviously not believing me. "C'mon, Chad, no one else is here. It's just you and me. What's stopping us?"

"No, Catherine!" I practically shouted. What wasn't she getting about this?

Catherine looked taken aback, "What's your deal, Coop? You're known for sleeping around Hollywood because you're a bad boy. So what's wrong with me? Am I not skinny enough? Am I ugly?" She babbled on, slightly shaking.

I clamped a hand over her mouth, "I hate to break it to you, Catherine, but I'm very religious. I don't believe in sex before marriage."

"So Hollywood's bad boy is a virgin?" She mused, seeming to be debating whether or not I was telling the truth. I blushed, embarrassed, and averted my gaze to the pillow on the other side of the couch.

"I swear if you tell anyone this, I'll sue." I threatened, pushing her farther off of me.

"Oh, I won't tell everyone. But I might tell Sonny Monroe... it seems like you guys are getting pretty close. And word on the street, she isn't a virgin. I mean, since you are one, you deserve to know." She smirked, happy to have avenged my rejection.

I felt my heart drop. Who could Sonny have slept with? She'd only dated that mean aggressive guy, Brian! Oh gosh…

"Who..? What? How do you know?" I asked frantically, dying to know the answer.

"It doesn't matter. You didn't hear it from me," she laughed, sauntering out of the room.

I sat in silence, a shocked expression still on my face. I looked over at my watch and noted that the next girl would be coming in a few minutes. I didn't think I'd be able to gather myself together by then... this would be a great test for them - they really would need to comfort me!

How could Sonny not tell me? After I poured my heart out to her, she in return told me that she had been involved with a bad guy. She didn't tell me that she slept with him!

I was so caught up in my own little world that I didn't notice the next girl as she walked in the room.

"Hey Chad!" The girl greeted, plopping down next to me on the couch and smiling. I would know her presence anywhere… It was Sonny. My eyes flew open in surprise as I raked my brain for something normal and unsuspicious to say to her. Words failed me and I sat there looking at her, my mouth slightly agape and my eyes wide.

"Chad, what's wrong?" She asked, concern filling her voice.

"Um… Someone just told me something pretty shocking about another contestant on the show and I'm just taking it a little rough, I guess," I explained, biting my lip nervously. There was no going back now – I had brought it up and now all I could do was hope it was a rumor.

"Ooh, gossip! Who's it about?" She asked, grinning.

"Uh, it's about you, Sonny." I murmured, loud enough for her to hear me. Her smile immediately dropped and her hand rose to her mouth in shock.

She moved her hand, "What could they have told you that I haven't already?"

"I don't want to upset you…" I said, looking down in shame for making her fret.

"Dammit! Tell me, Chad!" She demanded, her lip quivering as she tried to keep from crying.

"Y'know how you told me that Brian guy did something he could never take back?" She nodded, "Well… Catherine told me something and it seemed pretty realistic."

Her eyes widened. "What is it? Is she going to tell everyone? Tell me!"

"She said that you, uh, already lost your virginity." I mumbled, "Sonny… did you and Brian sleep together?"

Her eyes widened to the size of saucers as realization hit her. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she looked down, allowing them to spill down her cheeks. She clenched her jaw as she let out a heartbreaking sob, still not making eye contact with me.

"Sonny…" I breathed out, putting my arms around her and bringing her closer to my body.

She gasped out for air, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you!"

I quickly shushed her and frowned into the hug. I ran my hands through her hair soothingly as her arms wound tightly around my waist. She buried her head in my neck and I immediately felt her tears soak through my shirt.

About ten minutes later her breathing evened out and she pulled back from the hug. Her eyes were bloodshot and her make-up was streaked across her cheeks. I mentally cursed myself for causing her to cry this hard. She gathered herself together and took a deep breath.

"It wasn't willing," she choked out, tears slipping down her face. "He raped me."

I felt my jaw clench along with my fists as I registered what she said. What kind of monster could ever touch a girl like Sonny? She was so kind, so likeable, so fragile. How could he ever dare try to ruin that? How could he just take something like that from her to fulfill his own selfish needs?

I sat in silence as her eyes searched mine for any emotion.

"Please don't be mad at me, Chad." She begged, looking at me with a pained expression.

I sighed. "Sonny, I could never be mad at you about this. I mean, sure, I wish you had told me, but I'm just glad you're okay."

She smiled through her tears. "Well I guess this is a little bit odd. Instead of me comforting you, you're comforting me. I'm sorry."

"Its fine, Sonshine. It's gonna be okay." He laughed, "Anything else you need to tell me?"

"Well, there is one thing..." She mumbled, her smile disappearing once again.

Drama drama drama! This was crazy to write haha. It all just came out! I never planned on having Chad admit that or having Catherine reveal that fact about Sonny. But not to worry, my friends, this isn't going to turn into the typical story about abuse or pregnancy or whatever. It's just a bump in the road that will move the story along more smoothly. As for Catherine being a witchy bitchy mean girl, a lot of you guessed it! So good job! And by the way... You guys should all buy Fight or Flight by Emily Osment. I personally hate that gooey, perfect little Disney sound, but this album is so much better and actually registers in my head. So buy it! (:

By the way... all this super angst will disappear momentarily. Then back to the humor and romance. All in good time, my friends.

Oh and haters… Um, hi. It kinda bugs me when you people leave astonishingly negative reviews about how you hate the story. Especially anonymously... if you're going to go against the meaning of Fanfiction and bash a story, don't be a coward and at least own up to it. Anyways, if you hate this story so much, remove the alert and stop reviewing just to say you hate it. Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations, but if you hate it so much you shouldn't be reading up to chapter ten anyway. There's a huuuge difference between un-need negativity and constructive critisism. So toodle-loo, *cough* 'Angie' *cough*, and quit reading if you no likey. Bye(:
