Sonny looked uncomfortable. She loved Chad too, but for him to show up now after all that he did to her she thought was a little too late on neither the coming to get her nor telling her he loved her. Sonny turned to face Matt who was standing behind her; she gave him her sincerest apology look and smile.

"Matt um I think it would be best if you left I need to tie up some loose ends" Sonny whispered. He half smiled at her.

"No problem I'll see you on Monday" He said turning to leave but not before giving Chad a glare. Chad just smirked back at him. They both sat in silence until they heard the front door close.

"Come on lets go outside" She sighed. Chad followed her out the kitchen door and outside until they were in a wooded area but he could still see Sonny's house. They faced each other unsure what to say Chad waited for Sonny to say something first.

"What the hell is your problem" She said. Confusion flooded through his brain. Why would she ask him that after he flew out her to come and get her?

"What do you mean" He asked.

"I mean why would you come here"

"Um because I love you and I want you to come back to L.A."

"Don't say that" She looked away tears began to brim in her eyes.

"Why not I love you Sonny, I love you Alison Monroe" He said loudly as if the whole world could here.

"Stop" She screamed at him. He looked at her devastated.

"Why should I Sonny I love you and I know you love me too" He stated.

"I DON'T" She yelled running away from him to her house. Tears streaked down her face, but she wiped them away and kept running. She ran inside her house. She noticed Karen standing in the kitchen making dinner for them. She stopped what she was doing and encircled Sonny in her arms.

"What's wrong honey" She asked.

"He loves me" Was all Sonny said.

Chad stood where he was watching run away from him again. He wasn't sure that she had ever wanted to be with him now. She was always looking out for other people even the one person who had teared them apart; she never looked out for herself. Chad walked back to his rent-a- car. He sat in the leather seats breathing in the smell of cigarettes from the previous renter. Chad drove to his hotel he blared music the whole way trying to drown out all of his thoughts and not cry because he hadn't cried since he was nine and Chad Dylan Cooper didn't cry EVER. He dropped his car off at valet and he walked quickly to his room. The phone left on his bed started ringing as soon as he walked into the room.

"Hello" His voice cracked.

"Chad what happened is she coming back" Tawni asked eagerly.

"No"

"WHAT why not"

"She doesn't love me anymore"

"Oh stop sure she does how could she not after how many times you two almost admitted that liked each other."

"I told her three times and she still told me to stop and that she didn't love me"

"She was lying I'm sure"

"Why would she do that?"

"I don't know she nervous"

"When she walked in and she me she was with another guy" He said. The other line was silent until Tawni sighed.

"Let me take care of this"

"No just let her live her life" Chad said.

"Fine, but don't cry to me when you've lost her forever" Tawni said simply before hanging up on Chad. He lay back against his bed, what was the point of trying when the girl you love tells you she doesn't love you anymore.
