(A/N) I'm really excited about this chapter! I think it might be my best chapter yet! R&R please!
Sonny's POV
Mrs. Cooper grabbed the little girls hand and started walking towards a restaurant; I followed. After a few seconds I felt Chad jog up next to me and match my pace.
I cleared my throat. "So I never knew you had a little sister."
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Sonny." I turned to look at him than and his eyes sparkled as he said that. I was just about to respond with a witty line that I had come up with but instead, I was interrupted my Mrs. Cooper.
"Chad, Sonny!" She said as she waved us over to where they where standing, waiting to follow the waiter to our table.
After we had sat down and ordered, Mrs. Cooper started asking me about myself.
"So Sonny, your on So Random, right?"
"Yes."
"Where did you used to live before you got onto So Random?
"I lived in Wisconsin."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but why did you leave the show?"
I smiled. "My grandma was very sick back in Wisconsin and the doctors told me that she probably wouldn't make it so I went back to stay with her." The lie came out as easily as breathing.
Mrs. Cooper looked sympathetic. "How is you grandma now?"
"She actually passed away two weeks ago." I could feel Chad turn around to stare at me as I said that. I could feel his shock radiating off of him.
"I'm so sorry to hear that."
I smiled again. "It's ok, my grandma lived a very long life and accepted that it was her time to go and so did I." At that second my phone started 'mooing'. I looked down at the screen and saw that it was my grandma calling me. I suddenly stood up, hiding the phone screen in my shirt.
"I'm sorry but I really need to take this." I said and then walked away. As soon as I was outside I picked up the phone. "Grandma?"
"Sonshine! I'm so good to hear your voice!"
I smiled. "It's good to hear your voice to grandma!"
"Sonshine, I was just calling because I wanted to tell you that I was flying back to Los Angles with your mother so I could see you!"
I thought I felt my heart stop. "Wh-what? Yo- you're coming here?"
"Yes darling! Won't it be exciting! I can't wait to see you a meet all of your new Hollywood friends!"
I can't wait for you to meet them either, I thought, especially since one of them thinks your dead. "I can't wait either grandma!"
"Oh, I have to go Sonshine! Your mother wants to take me out for dinner! I love you!"
"I love you to grandma!" I ended the call and walked back inside. Great, I thought as I slid back into my chair, now what am I going to do.
"Who was that Sonny?" asked Chad.
"It was my gra- mom! It was my mom just calling to see if I was OK." Chad seemed to notice my quick save but Mrs. Cooper didn't seem to notice.
We finished eating and left the restaurant and stood outside as we said our goodbyes.
"It was really nice meeting you Mrs. Cooper." I said.
"It was nice to finally meet you to Sonny." Mrs. Copper said. She then looked at Chad. "Were going to go home, are you coming Chad?"
Chad looked at me and smiled shaking his head. "Nah, I think I'm going to stay here a bit longer.
Mrs. Cooper smiled. "Well OK then. Don't be home to late."
"I won't, bye mom."
"Bye Chad, Sonny." Mrs. Cooper said before walking towards the parking lot.
Chad turned to face me. "So…" I started to say.
"You want to go catch a movie?"
"Sure."
Chad's POV
Two hours later we came stumbling out of the theater laughing. It was around 9:00 already and it was dark outside. We stumbled over to a bench outside the theater and sat down.
"That movie was so stupid!" Sonny said in between laughs.
"I know right?" I turned to look at her and noticing that I was looking at her, she turned to face me. I looked into those brown eyes that I loved so much and felt myself getting lost.
"Chad." Sonny said getting serious all of a sudden. "I need to tell you something."
I looked at her and could tell she looked worried. "What is it Sonny?" I said taking her hands into my hands.
"It's about what I said back at the restaurant about why I left. It… it was a lie. My grandma is fine and is actually coming down this week."
Sonny had lied to me? But why? "Why did you leave then?"
"I…" She looked like she was about to cry. I pulled her into my chest and felt her start to softly cry.
I gently stroked her hair. "Shhh, Sonny. It's all going to be OK." I whispered.
She pulled away from me and wiped the tears from her face. "I used to cut myself, that's why I left, to get help." I heard her whisper.
I pulled her back into a hug. "I'm glad you told me the truth." She seemed to relax after I told her that. "Come on, I'll take you home."
She nodded and we walked out to my car. It was a silent car ride back to her apartment. I pulled into her driveway and looked over to her and realized that she had fallen asleep. I smiled, got out of the car and walked over to her side and gently picked her up from her seat and carried her up the stairs. I found her keys in her purse and unlocked the door and walked into her room where I laid her down on her bed and covered her with a blanket.
"I love you Sonny Monroe." I quietly whispered and kissed her gently on her forehead. I left, shutting the door quietly behind me and walked down to my car. I drove the whole way home thinking about what had happened tonight. I pulled into my driveway and walked through the front door and was about to go upstairs when I heard a voice call out behind me.
I turned around a saw my mom sitting on the couch. "So, how did things go with Sonny tonight?"
I smiled. "Good I think."
She smiled back. "Good."
I turned back around and walked upstairs to my room. I flopped down on my bed and smiled, maybe everything will work out with Sonny, I thought. I smiled again at the thought of Sonny and closed my eyes, quickly falling asleep.
(A/N) So what did you think about Sonny telling the truth about why she left? And what about grandma Monroe? (Who I'm really excited to write for by the way.) R&R please!
