Hehe…I love being evil. You'll see why. ;)
I May Just Be Crazy About You
Chapter 21 – Acting & Plans
Chad's POV
Sonny. Loves. Me.
Everyone gasps, shocked. I join in, because I have to admit, as happy as I am, I'm also equally as shocked.
"See! He brought her for his own purpose!" Dad yells. I have a lot of explaining to do.
"Chad, you lied to me?" Mom says in disbelief.
"See, they're lovers!" Danny yells from the other end of the room.
"It's always him!" Dad says.
"Tell me now, what the hell is going on?" Mom yells. Of course, everyone is shouting over each other again.
"HEY!" Mr Munroe shouts, gaining all our attention.
"You shout too!" Mom says to Dad. He obeys.
"But what respect do we have left, that I can shout? Your crazy son has taken all our respect away!" Dad yells.
"Calm down, please!" The police inspector dude says. "Why can't you all just stay quiet?" He turns to me. "Hey, you. You tell us the truth, or I'll imprison you." Guess it's time I said it out loud…
"Go on, Chad." Sonny whispers. "Tell them how much you love me." How did she know that? She can see, you idiot. Who would be so nice to someone, without a reason? Good point. I'm still in my state of confusion, but I try to speak.
"W-what can I say? How – how much I love Sonny? J-just so much, that – that I can do a-anything for her…" I manage to say. Great, you can't even speak right. I'm nervous, you idiot. Call CDC an idiot one more time, and I'll kick your butt, Chaddy. Oh, shut up. "Sonny… Sonny's my l-life… My – my Sonny means e-everything to me…everything…"
"Stop; don't over-act." Sonny whispers, so only I can hear her. Over-act? Does that mean she was only faking? NO! NO NO NO!
"LIES!" Mrs Munroe yells. "They're lying!" Heck yeah, lies. I'm still confused… Sonny doesn't really love me. She was only acting. Now I know how annoying that is. It hurts. Damn acting. "You're intelligent, inspector. You just get Sonny and Danny married." Mrs Munroe continues.
"Shut up. I'm an cop, not a priest. Stop wasting my time, and leave. Get out of here; all of you!" The cop yells. Everyone leaves, and Sonny and I are still standing there. We walk slowly out to the hallway.
"I'm really, really sorry, Chad. I couldn't tell them about Alex – you know why." Sonny says, stopping me.
"It's okay, Sonshine." I say, giving her a sympathetic look. She smiles; the very same sweet, innocent smile that I'm totally crazy for. And then the smile disappears.
"Aw, that's cute! Oh no… Danny's watching us." She whispers. "Don't turn – please, just play along. He'll leave." Okay, I'm more confused now. Suddenly, she's hugging me. I'd been waiting for this moment…but I was hoping it would be real. I do as she said, and play along. "Chad! Please, can we just get married as soon as possible?" Sonny says, in a totally fake cheerful tone.
"Uh…" I'm still confused. I mean, I can act – I just have no idea what to say.
"We'll have to get married someday! I'm three months pregnant!" She says. What the freakin' hell? Nice acting, Sonny. Very believable. I bet Danny isn't gonna bother about her anymore – I just hope the same goes for Alex. How I wish he didn't bother. Heck, I wish he didn't exist. "If you can't accept that, I'll marry Danny. I'm sure he would –"
"NO! NEVER!" I hear Danny yell from outside. He walks in, yelling at us, and storms out. His father runs after him, followed by Mr and Mrs Munroe. Sonny giggles, smiling sweetly. Ah…
"I'm sorry, again." She says.
"Don't worry about it. Remember – I'm your friend. No complaints, no demands." I say. Kill me now. My heart is in a million pieces right now.
"Hehe. Thanks." She says. Anything to make you happy,
I'm sitting on the kitchen worktop at home, while Mom is washing dishes. I'm such a loser.
"Why don't you talk to Sonny?" Mom asks me, suddenly.
"About what?" I ask.
"About how crazy you are about her. About how much you love her." She replies.
"No, I don't really love her. I was just acting in front of the cop guy and everyone, but I ended up over-acting." I lie, hoping she believes me.
"Hey, I'm your mother, Chad. I know that wasn't just acting." Mom says. Busted. "Anyway, Sonny's a sweet girl. I can talk to her for you!"
"No, Mom!" I say. That's the last thing I want. In fact, I don't want that at all!
"Let me just talk to her once!" She says.
"That'd be emotional torture for her and me both. Besides, she loves some other guy." I say. "And she considers me as her best friend. I don't wanna ruin that… She's happy with Alex. And if she's happy, I'm happy."
"Are you sure you're happy?" Mom asks.
"Yeah." I lie. I'm not happy. I am dying inside. No-one needs to know that, but it's true…
Nobody's POV – In An Old Soap Factory…
"I won't spare this idiot, Lucas!" Sam the 'Don' yells, almost squeezing the phone in his hand to a pulp. "This son of… Hey, his son! We'll kidnap Lucas's son, Alex!"
"Wow!" All the members of his gang say, on hearing his plan.
"So, Alex's birthday party will be happening at the club tomorrow. This is our chance. We'll be wearing white shirts, and black pants, and a black bowtie. And everyone will have a fake French moustache. And with that, a black mole. This look will make our gang unique, and there won't be any confusion. Got it?" Sam says to the gang. They all nod in agreement.
And Back At The Youth Club…
"So, why are we kidnapping Alex?" Daniel asks.
"So that he and Sonny can get married, and run away together." James replies.
"Great plan." Skyler adds.
"And it was all mine." Chad says, and smirks. "So, here's the deal. At Alex's birthday party, we're gonna grab the chance. We'll be wearing white shirts, and black pants, and a black bowtie. And everyone will have a fake French moustache. And with that, a black mole. That way, it'll be easier for us to know who's who. Got it, guys?"
"Got it!" They all say.
"Wait, what about Sonny?" James asks.
"Sonny… She won't be a problem. I'll make her look like…uh…Demi Lovato! Nobody will recognise her." Chad replies.
A perfect plan? I don't think so!
Something tells me there's going to be some confusion…
Review! :D
