Hey guys. I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Here's Chapter 29. Enjoy!
(DAY 4)
SONNY POV
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing obnoxiously on the table next to me. It was an unknown number. I hit ignore and pushed my head deeper into the pillow. Immediately it rung again. I hit ignore. Then it rang a third time. I had another 2 hours before I had to get up. I wish the person on the other line would take a damn hint. I picked up the phone
"Obviously if I didn't pick up the phone the first two times, I don't want to talk to whoever this is"
"Uh… hello to you too"
"Zora?"
"Yeah"
"Why are you up so early?"
"I was up all night trying to fix my catapult"
"What's wrong you never call me this early?"
"I wanted to talk to you. Not right now but later on"
"Why don't you just come into my dressing room like everyone else?"
"I didn't want to be rude"
"Oh. Well sure we can talk"
"Ok" awkward silence "How's your arm?"
"Still broken"
"Really? I thought it would be healed my now" she joked
"Bye Zora"
"Okay I'll see you later" I hung up the phone. I tossed the phone on the other side of the bed and went back to sleep. I had one of the dreams I usually have. My dad and I were sitting at the kitchen table back in Wisconsin when I was about 12. It was the middle of the night. We were drinking his famous secret hot white chocolate. I still don't know what the secret is. Every now and then I crave one. Especially after I have these dreams. This was one of my favorite moments with him
"Now Sonny don't let any man steal your heart. All men are evil"
"Aren't you a man, dad?"
"Yes, but I'm your father"
"That doesn't make any sense, dad" I smiled
"Men don't make sense. It's what we do"
"So then what happens when I get married someday? What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to cry my eyes out, curl up on the couch and eat ice cream" we laughed
"You sound like a girl"
"No…"
"Seriously, dad"
"Well, first I have to make sure his fit for the Chavez family" when my mom and dad were married my name was Alison "Sonny" Chavez. It was my dad's last name. Then he divorced my mom and she got my last name changed to Monroe. Her maiden name "I would ask him so many questions. Then I would ask him what teams he liked. Last I would ask him about his family and what he would do if you have kids and where you would live"
"That actually sounds like something you would do"
"Because it is…"
"Are you going to be sad?"
"Sad? I'm going to be devastated. The day you walk down that aisle is the day I hand you over to another man who's going to love you just as much" he sighed "You're my daughter. My little girl. No one is EVER going to hurt you. Not while I'm around"
"Just say the words"
"And I'm there" he kissed my forehead "Now go to bed you have school in the morning"
"Wait. Can you tell me whats in the chocolate?"
"Good night Sonshine" The dream ended. I remember exactly 7 months later he left us. I slowly woke up. I got hurt big time, dad. You lied to me. Then again, you weren't around.
CHAD POV
I was sleeping until I felt something heavy bear down on my bed. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Portlyn's face at the edge of my bed picking at her nails.
"Why are you on my bed?"
"I got bored so I thought I'd come bother you" I put a pillow on top of my head and closed my eyes "Get up…"
"No. Get off my bed"
"Chad" she whined and pulled the pillow away from my face. I opened my eyes fully but slowly. Oh my god did she sleep in her underwear this is so wrong. So SO wrong.
"Ah!" I jumped off bed and ran to the other side of the room "Why are you on my bed half naked?"
"It was hot last night" Dear lord help me
"Why are you on my bed?"
"I GOT BORED"
"I understand that but damnit could you put some clothes on please" she didn't move "Portlyn you have to move. We made a deal on the plane"
"Right. I'm minding my own"
"On my bed!"
"But I'm still minding my own"
"This isn't the time for some damn loophole, Portlyn"
"Chad"
"Portlyn"
"Chad"
"Portlyn"
"Chad" Does she think this is a game?
"PORTLYN! GET UP AND PUT SOME CLOTHES ON AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Make me" She thinks this is a game
"I'm not touching you. You're half naked"
"So"
"You're going to turn it into something it's not. So can you just get up? Or at least put some clothes on. I'm begging you" she still didn't move.
"We can do this all day, boyfriend" she smirked
"No. We can't and I am NOT your boyfriend. Now, I'm going to go get ready" I grabbed some clothes out of my suitcase "When I come out. You should be off of my bed" I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I put my clothes on and fixed my hair. When I walked out of the bathroom she was still sitting on my bed. Just in a long t shirt. "So you're not going to get up?" She shook her head. I sighed and threw her over my shoulder.
"Ugh… Put me down" She struggled. I opened the door to the hallway. I knew everyone is in Marissa's room for breakfast. "Put me down, now" I banged on her door as Portlyn still struggled in my arms. Penelope opened the door.
"What the hell?" Penelope studied my face. Everyone looked at me curios of what happened. I pushed past her and dropped Portlyn on Marissa's bed.
"I'm done. It's been 2 days. I can't. I won't put up with this irritation. I'm done. It's not going to work out" I stormed out of the room
"What the hell did you do?" The last thing I heard. I think it was Chloe that said that. I went back into my room and laid on my bed. This tour is going to kill me. I'm going to die.
SONNY POV
It was around 12:30 when Zora came into my room. Technically the air vent.
"Hey Sonny"
"Ah!" I screamed and looked up "Shit... You scared me"
"No duh" she laughed "So can we talk?"
"Sure. But I'm not going to talk to you until you get out of the vent"
"Sonny"
"Zora"
"Fine" 2 seconds later she was sitting on my couch eating grapes
"You move fast"
"Mhm"
"So what'd you want to talk about?"
"Well I've been thinking"
"About?"
"Do you want to keep an eye on Chad?"
"Not really"
"Hmm…Why…?"
"Because I trust him" In theory
"What about those other two?"
"What other two?"
"Porta potty and Penelopeeze"
"Porta potty? Penelopeeze? Really Zora?" I chuckled
"I thought it would be funny"
"What are you up too?" I narrowed my eyes
"Well… I overheard the schedule for their tour. I know that they meet with the Queens Granddaughters today"
"So…"
"I have connections" she said with a evil tone in her voice
"Zora…"
"One of the guards over there is my 4th cousin. I can get in contact with him"
"No…" I shook my head. There is something wrong with this kid "No, no, no, no, no"
"Sonny please. Since they left I have nobody to pull pranks on"
"They've been gone 2 days!"
"I'm having withdrawals"
"Zora… you need to relax"
"No you need to relax" she jumped up dropping grapes on the floor
"Zora. Take a deep breath"
"I'm going to go finish my catapult. Then I'm going to throw meat at you"
"Okay. Have fun" she slowly backed out of room. Weird...
CHAD POV
At 3:30 we met the people from Shout magazine. After we shook hands and was told the concept of this photo shoot they pushed us into wardrobe. Us guys were dressed in black suits with white shirts and black neck ties. James Bond 007. The girls were dressed in short white flowy dresses, their hair curled and make up done. The background for the picture was white. First we did a male shot. All three of us guys stood next to each other, hands in our pockets, jaws clenched. The camera flashed continuously
"Come on guys… smile" the photographer said. We all forced a smile. It looked completely fake. "Okay. What's the problem? I said smile. Not look like your puppy died"
"You have to make us laugh…" Devon said
"Yeah…" I agreed "It's going to look fake if we just stand here and smile"
"Okay. I got it" Trevor ran off the set and came back with his iPod. He plugged it into one of the speakers they had once the music started playing he started dancing. Devon and I laughed our asses off. Apparently the photographer liked us this way so she kept snapping pictures of the three of us. We couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't breathe. Trevor's face started turning red on how hard he was laughing. Devon could barely keep himself up.
"Alright guys. It's the girls turn" She said. We walked off the set still chuckling. The girls took their pictures easier than us. They were all holding hands smiling. Then occasionally they would turn the fan on making their hair blow "Now all together" We walked back on the set with the girls. Marissa stood next to the photographer staring at me and Portlyn. I rolled my eyes and stood next to her
"Why are you so mean?" she asked through her smile
"I'm not mean. You irritate me"
"I'm sorry for this morning"
"No you're not"
"You right. I'm not"
"Now sit on the floor guys. Girls sit in between the guys legs. Look up at them" the photographer said in her accent. Oh by the way her name is Skippy. It's her nickname. We sat on the floor and did as she said. Portlyn sat in between my legs. Pressing herself up against my... ahem. I scooted back away from her. "Good… Smile guys. Come on you guys love each other" she tried to motivate
"That's your problem…" I said between my smiles
"What's my problem?" she said lowly
"You're so damn spiteful"
"It's what I do"
"It's going to get you in trouble"
"Portlyn, Chad. What could you possibly be talking about?" Skippy moved the camera from her eye
"Nothing…" we said in unison
"Whatever you're trying to do or achieve. Stop. I didn't do anything to you so why must you bother me" I asked then smiled
"Now turn around and give a big snog" Skippy smiled. Wait what!
"No no" I backed up and stood up
"What's wrong…?" Skippy asked "Are you a bit embarrassed?"
"No it's not that…"
"Then whats the problem? Kiss the girl"
"I can't do that…" I sighed and put my hands in my pocket
"Chad!" Marissa said making her way over to me. "Sorry" she said to Skippy "What is your problem?" she whispered
"I'm not going to kiss her. I'll hold her hand. I'll hug her for the cameras. Hell I'll fucking lend her a sweater of mine for the camera. But I'm NOT going to kiss her"
"Why not?"
"You know we're fake dating. I'm still going out with Sonny. I promised her. I cannot kiss, Portlyn"
"Sonny's not here. It's an England magazine. She won't see it"
"No… you don't know Sonny. She always seems to find out"
"It's for the job…"
"Hell no. I'm not kissing her"
"Publicity"
"I'm NOT kissing her"
"Chad…"
"No. If you make me do this my life is going to end. Fuck it! I'm going to tell everyone that I'm not actually dating Portlyn…"
"Fine…but tell her the REAL reason why you can't" she huffed
"I'm sorry Skippy but I can't do that" I said
"Well why not…"
"Because I made a promise not too" That's the real reason. Also because I didn't want to. Trevor stood up while we were trying to sort this out
PENELOPE POV
Did he just say that he made a promise? A promise? A fucking promise? I'm guessing and I know I'm right…. A promise to Sonny
"You can't make him kiss her" Trevor stood. He really needs to sit down and shut up
"The magazine could deduct from his check" Skippy said
"What? They can't make me do something I don't want to do" he said. Chloe and Portlyn were now standing up. Devon started to stand up. I stood up after him
"If you value your life; you won't say anything…" I sneered at him
"Can we just get on with this shoot? Kiss or Not?" Devon said. I turned and narrowed my eyes at him "Kiss her on the cheek" Devon sat back down on the floor pulling my down with him, between his legs. I folded my arms "Sorry…"
"Mhm"
"You still love me" I could feel him smirking in my hair. He kissed my shoulder and I relaxed in his arms. I looked out of the corner of my eye. Portlyn staring at me
"Bathroom break!" she jumped up, looked at me and sped off. I hastily got up and sped off after her. Once I opened the door she went off
"This first part of your plan isn't working. I'm losing it. He's too smart for all this. The bed thing this morning, didn't work as you saw. We need to get this together because I'm starting to feel bad"
"Feel bad. About what? Because he made a promise? Get over it. Besides this is only the first half. We have many days left. He's going to crack sooner or later. We just have to do it at the right time. THIS is not the right time. Get yourself together, women" I grabbed her hand and yanked her out the bathroom. We walked back on set, everyone looking at us funny
"We have to hurry this up. The Buckingham palace will be expecting us in an hour"
"Okay. So just kiss her on the cheek Chad" Skippy said. We all took our seats again and she snapped photos. After about 30 flashes we were finished. They let us keep the clothes. We didn't even change we went to Buckingham palace the way we were. They would send our clothes to Marissa's room
CHAD POV
We all sat at the grand table waiting for Kylee and Jasmine. The Queen's granddaughters. They said Jasmine was 12 and Kylee is 15. That means it's going to be loud. When they walked in we stood up. I must admit Kylee was pretty. Long pin straight black hair. Big brown eyes. Almost like Sonny's. Jasmine looked the same except her hair was blonde. They silently shook our hands and introduced themselves.
"Kylee and Jasmine Elizabeth" After they sat down we ate. A small conversation started but it didn't last long. It's the same thing every year
SONNY POV
I was sitting in my dressing room putting the finishing touches to my song. I could seem to get the chords right
"Damnit" I threw the book on the table and slumped on the couch. "Why can't I get this right?" I picked up my guitar and tried again "She was scared, unprepared. Lost in the dark, falling apart" I sang out my hardest. YES! Success. I did it. "Finally" There was a knock at my door "Come in"
"Did you finish? I don't want to disrupt your creative flow or whatever" Tawni asked sitting next to me
"Yup. I finally got it"
"Are you nervous?"
"Not right now, no"
"Oh that's good" Awkward silence "How are you going to play with your arm?"
"It's not that hard. I only use my fingers to press the strings. Not my whole hand"
"Did you tell him about your arm?"
"Who?"
"That's a stupid question, Sonny. Chad, did you tell Chad about your arm?"
"No..."
"What do you think he's going to say when he sees it?"
"I don't know. He'll say what happened?"
"Has he ever heard you sing?" I shook my head. "Oh he's defiantly has to watch now…"
"I hope he does. Then again, his reaction is going to make me nervous"
"His jaw will be too far into the ground to say anything…"
"I hope…"
"You should let me dress you up"
"No" I chuckled
"I'm not taking no for an answer. I know the perfect dress and shoes for you" I kind of trust her
"Okay…"
"Great. Because I already bought it" she smiled and ran out. She came back with this extremely pretty dress and high heels.
"That's so pretty…" I took it out her hands and hugged her. It was time to go home so I went home. She was sitting at the kitchen counter looking through bridal magazines. I showed my mom the dress and she loved it. I went up stairs to my room and hung it up in my massive closet. I was too tired to do anything else
CHAD POV
"Never again" Penelope threw herself on Marissa's bed. We all piled into her room. Penelope's upset that Kylee was hitting on Devon "Those two hyper little girls can kiss it"
"She's a year younger than you…" Devon said, taking a seat next to Penelope
"So"
"You're a year younger than me too" Devon's 17.
"And. That's beside the point"
"She doesn't interest me"
"She better not"
"Relax. Why are you so tense lately?" He asked standing up. She looked at him. He looked at her. I'm guessing they're talking to each other mentally. Penelope raised one of her eyebrows. She hopped off the bed and started towards the door. He followed her close. We heard their room door shut and that was the end of that
"Awkward…" I said. Everyone nodded "Well… good night all. I will see you in the morning"
"Yup…" Portlyn stood up after me and walked out the door behind me. Why do I have to share a room? I grabbed my pajamas once I was in my room and went into the bathroom. I took a shower, cleaning the light make up they put on my face at the photo shoot and got dressed after. I ignored Portlyn as she shoved passed me to get into the bathroom. I chuckled to myself and got into bed. I closed my eyes and relaxed. The last thing I heard was the bathroom light being turned off.
