Hey guys! I loved your review as always…. You guys don't disappoint and never fail. Chad and Sonny already christened her room since I wrote a month later and stuff. But anyway here's chapter 36. Enjoy!
SONNY POV
The next morning my alarm clock blared, startling me out of sleep and demanding to be shut off. I reached over to the night stand and hit the snooze button for the tenth time. I pushed my head down on the pillow and closed my eyes again. 5 minutes later the alarm went off
"I don't understand why you have an alarm clock" Chad said sleepily, he reached over me and pulled the plug out the wall, shutting it off completely.
"Maybe because I don't have anybody to wake me up like you do"
"No one wakes me up in the morning, Sonny"
"Gloria wakes you up"
"She doesn't count. I wake you up, Chad"
"No you don't" he pushed himself up on his elbow and looked at me
"Whenever I get out of bed and you see or feel I'm not there you wake up"
"Sure I do" he said in a sarcastic voice
"You don't want to admit it. That's okay"
"Admit what?"
"You can't sleep without me" I smiled. He chuckled
"Wow…. You're vain"
"I get it from the best" I smirked and patted his cheek
"I'm not vain" he scoffed. I narrowed my eyes at him "Okay maybe I am a little. But that's only because… I'm me"
"Whatever stops the tears at night, Chad" I started to get up but his arm wrapped around me pulling me on top of his chest. I yelped and giggled
"You're funny, Sonny"
"That's why I'm on So Random, Chad"
"That's not what I meant" He grinned but sure. He traced my collar bone delicately with his finger
"Well then what did you mean?"
"You are funny little Sonny"
"I'm not little…" I clicked my tongue
"Yes you are"
"That's because you're freakishly tall"
"I'm 5'10. That's not that tall"
"Shit…" I laughed "I'm 5'2"
"Yeah… I figured that…." I'm going to be late. I already hit the snooze button over five times. Ms. Bittermen is going to kill me. I stuck my tongue at him. He brushed his lips across my jawline and kissed me lightly
"As much as I'd love to stay like this… Ms. Bittermen would kill me if I'm late again" I pressed my lips to his and then got off him and the bed. I took a quick shower, he after me, and we drove to the studios. Well he drove…
"Bye…"
"Bye" I kissed him and ran into the classroom where Nico, Tawni, Grady and Zora were sitting at the desks. They turned around when I walked in
"Wow… look who decided to join us. You're 35 minutes late" Ms. Bittermen glared at me. Lie, Sonny
"I'm sorry. I lost track of time" She handed me a worksheet with algebra on it. What the fuck? "What is this?"
"We took a test at the beginning of class. If you were here you would've learned the material for it"
"If I don't know the material how will I do the work?"
"You'll find a way. All I know is, if you don't get your grade up from a D. You get suspended from the show for 2 weeks" Someone needs a happy meal
"But that's not fair"
"Do it for homework. Hand it in at the end of the day" she sadistically smiled at me and sat on her desk
"But I don't know how to do it"
"You should've been here earlier"
"Fuck…" I mumbled to myself. I don't know any of this shit. I caught Tawni looking at me out of the corner over her eye shaking her head "What?" I whispered
"You were with Chad…" she whispered back
"No… I hit the snooze over and over"
"Your lips are swollen" she pointed out
"Piss off…" I folded my arms and held a small smile
"How much time did you lose track of?" She snickered
"Not a lot we didn't do anything. What happened with your brother after we left?"
"Nothing really, he yelled. I yelled. Nico stood and watched"
"Why did you lie about your virginity?"
"Daniel would've beheaded me…"
"Why? It's your life"
"Because we made a pact to stay pure until we were in our twenties about nine months ago"
"Is he still?"
"Fuck no" She turned to me "He lost his a month after" I shook my head and grinned "That stupid son of a bitch lied about it for 6 months"
"Damn…"
"Now he's all over protective and shit. I hate it"
"Ladies… would you like to share your conversation with the class" Ms. Bittermen said evilly
"We were talking about virginities and how losing it hurts like hell but is worth is in the long run" Tawni grinned at Ms. Bittermen who was as red as a tomato. Grady and Nico laughed. Zora just put her head down
"That's highly inappropriate" Bittermen stood
"It's health" Tawni snapped back
"This is math… not health" Bittermen walked over to Tawni's desk
"It's still a school subject" She peered up at her and clicked her tongue "We can't get in trouble for talking about school, Ms. Bittermen" She snapped her gum knowing it bothers her. Bittermen cringed
"Spit the gum out" She sneered
"Does it bother you?" Tawni asked, snapping her gum again
"Yes. Spit it out" Ms. Bittermen held her hand out and Tawni dropped the gum from her mouth into her hand. I laughed as Tawni secretly put another piece in her mouth and started chewing
"What's gotten into you?" I turned to Tawni. She shrugged and popped her gum. Bittermen looked up from her desk and forcefully blew out a breath of air
"You want to go to lunch later?" She asked me "With me and Nico…"
"Um… Nah. I don't want to sit there and watch you too"
"Please…"
"No"
"Please…where going to In-n-Out burger" Damnit
"SO RANDOM TO WARDROBE IN 10!" A women's voice blared over the intercom
CHAD POV
I walked into the cafeteria ready to get my breakfast and juice. Saying hey to everyone that passed me got extremely annoying. Especially with the Meal or No meal girls and the teen gladiators. I walked up to the counter and cleared my throat, ready for the lady to hand me my food. Penelope turned around
"Fuck my life" she mumbled
"Penelope…? What are you doing here? Wearing a hairnet and those clothes?" She had dark circles under her eyes and a grim look on her face
"I got suspended"
"Yeah right…" I scoffed and chuckled "Get over to set we're filming in a couple"
"I'm so fucking serious right now, Chad"
"Suspended… for what?"
"Fighting on the freaking tour" One of the other food ladies passed her a tray with my name card on it. She picked it up and shoved it to me "There's your food. Have a nice day" she muttered
"You're joking. You're not suspended" I put the tray down lightly
"Chad, I was suspended"
"Penelope dear, get eight silver trays out of the food pantry for me" The Spanish lady behind the counter asked
"Yeah… one second" she stuttered
"Are you serious?" I raised my eyebrows in question
"I come in at 7 in the morning. I leave at 6:30. My breaks are 30 minutes. I can only see Devon at lunch for 30 minutes. I'm stuck in this ugly ass uniform and hair net for a fucking month. If I was joking I would've had a fucking smile on my fucking face, Chad. You have your damn food. Have a nice day" she snarled and turned around, walking away from me. Someones got their claws out. I picked up my tray and slowly walked back to my dressing room. I took one bite of the eggs and wasn't hungry. My appetite disappeared. I walked out of my dressing room and across the hall to Devon's room
"Hey man…" He said eating his food
"She got suspended?"
"Mhm"
"But that makes no sense"
"Penelope and Portlyn fought. She and Sonny fought. Condor got upset and suspended her. She blew her warning. What part of that makes no sense?"
"The part where he waited a whole month to do it"
"Marissa reminded him about it"
"That makes no type of sense. He waited a whole month…"
"Chad…. She told me not to worry about it. She told me to tell everyone not to worry about it. So don't"
"Fine fine…" I walked out and went into my room. I had another hour before we would be called to set. I took out my script and made sure I knew my lines even though I was positive I knew all of them. This script was way thicker than the others. It was the season finale of Mac Falls so everything is going to be over dramatic and was going to take the minimum of a week to film.
I was more than halfway through my lines an hour later when my phone rang from my pocket. I looked at the screen. The name 'DAD" flashed up repeatedly on the screen
"Hey dad, I'm going over my lines can I call you back?"
"Your mom was in a car accident" He said quickly. My heart sank to the pit of my chest. My breath hitched and a lump formed
"What… how?"
"I'm at Long Shore. Come as soon as you can"
"I'm on my way now" I hastily grabbed my car keys and jogged out of the room. I threw my phone onto the passenger's seat as I got into the car. I sped down the freeway weaving through cars. Within 7 minutes and 23 seconds I was pulling up in the emergency room parking lot and crashing through the doors. I saw my dad pacing back and forth in front of the huge window "DAD!" I ran up to him "What happened?"
"She was going to her doctor's appointment for the baby when some asshole t-boned her because they ran a red light. She stayed conscience long enough to give some information. They called me and I rushed right over" he said quickly "She's in Intensive care unit on the EKG. They can't get her to come too" A slow hot tear streamed down my face. My mom is on EKG! Baby? I was going to get a brother or sister? This can't be right I HAVE to be dreaming. Yeah… I am. I'm dreaming. I'll wake up in about an hour. Get dressed and eat breakfast. It's just a dream. I stared out the window out of anxiety and pain
"Cooper?" A dark skinned man came out of the doors with a clip board and a sullen look on his face. My dad stepped forward. My heart sped up. The loud pounding in my ears over took my hearing. Fuck it's not a dream.
"Yes… did she wake up? Is she okay?"
"I'm very sorry. She lost way too much blood and broke several limbs. She flat lined a couple of minutes ago. We tried to jump her heart but it failed. I'm sorry. You could go and say goodbye if you'd like" He said and walked away. My world ended right then and there. Even though I had small problems with my mom and she irritated me sometimes, she's still my mom. I followed my dad's foot steps into the elevator and down the hallway to her room. The sun was bright out. Hot as can be outside. But in here it felt cold and dead. My dad went into the room I started to follow but stopped. I couldn't do it. I can't say goodbye. I just can't I leaned against the wall across from the room and slid down to the floor. Tears fell hard and soaked my face. I wrapped my hands around my knees and put my head in my lap. I sobbed hard. Why every time I go to a hospital I end up crying? My mom's gone. She's gone and I can't do anything about it
SONNY POV
I was sitting at my dressing room table trying to figure out this fucking math quiz. It was only 6 questions but it was hard as hell. I asked Tawni and Grady to help me but they both already knew they bombed it. Zora refuses to help me because of what happened the last time when I got a D. Nico; he didn't even half to tell me that he crapped the test. I ran my fingers through my hair and slumped back into the chair
"Fuck… my… life…" I groaned and threw the paper on the ground. Maybe my mom could help me. I patted my pockets looking for my phone. I came up unsuccessful. I looked through my bag and jacket pocket. No luck again "Where is my phone?" I said nervously. I hate losing my phone. It makes me itch. Not literally but… you get the idea. "Did I leave it in the car?" I asked "Who am I talking too?" I chuckled and walked out. I walked over to the Mackenzie Falls set and knocked on his door. I got no answer so I went in "Chad, did I leav-" He wasn't in here. Ugh… my phone. I closed the door on my way out and walked through the halls.
"Sonny!" Chloe yelled as I walked away
"Hmm?"
"Where's Chad? We're looking everywhere for him. They're ready to film"
"Nope… I was just looking for him"
"Fuck..." she groaned and stormed off. I shrugged and walked out into the parking lot.
"Car… Car…. Car" I said as I searched for his car. I stopped in front of the empty spot where he had parked this morning "No Car" I sighed "Damnit" I stomped my foot and went back inside to my set. "Tawni!" I yelled as I entered the prop house
"Yeah…" She broke away from Nicos hold on her arms and giggled
"I need to borrow your phone"
"Why? Where's yours" She turned her upper body towards me.
"I lost it"
"Fine" she leaned over and handed it to me. I took it out her hand. I dialed his number as I walked back into my dressing room. He didn't answer. I tried again but it rung until the voicemail talked to me. I huffed and hung up. I tried the house phone. I vaguely remembered his house number and dialed it. It trilled a few times before being picked up
"Hello?" Gloria answered it
"Hi Gloria its Sonny"
"Hello, Ms. Monroe"
"Do you know where Chad is?"
"His mother died, this morning. Last time I heard… they were at hospital" Whoa… wait
"She died?" Oh god
"Yes… very bad car accident"
"What hospital? Why aren't you there?"
"Long shore and I don't do hospitals" The dial tone rang in my ear. Shit… I rapidly walked out of my dressing room and down the hall. I hailed a cab and paid the guy to take me to the emergency entrance. He barely stopped the car before I got out and ran through the automated doors
"Faith Cooper… room… now!" I ran up to the desk out of breath
"Room 234i"
"Thanks" I sprinted over to the elevator and tapped the button over and over. When it came I got in the elevator and pressed two. The second floor is intensive care. When it stopped I got out and looked around. Everything was fast paced. Nurses pushing carts around, beeping machines, blood transfusions. I walked down the hall to where the numbers where getting higher. Then I peeked in her room. I saw Mr. Cooper there holding her hand, his jaw clenched. Then I looked the other way and saw a blonde automatically knowing it was him. I slowly took a seat next to him and put my hand on top of his. "I'm sorry" He looked up at me and sucked a deep breath in "Chad" I croaked
"She was going to get an ultrasound. I was going to have a sibling. She got hit…" he sobbed his face turning red "I can't do anything about it"
"Chad…" I squeezed his hand "I'm sorry"
"My mom's gone. She won't be able to call me anymore. Or fight with me. She won't be there to mess up my birthday" he put his face in his hands and cried "I'd rather her go on trips, than not be here at all" He ran his fingers through his hair and put his head against the wall "I can't say goodbye. I can't" he hiccupped
"You should at least see her" I said and wiped my face. I didn't even know a tear came down
"I can't. She's gone, Sonny" He cried into my lap. I slowly soothed his back and held his hand "She's not coming back" He choked. What do you say to someone in a moment like this?
"It's going to be okay" This overused line annoyed the hell out of me "She'll always be with you. No matter what you do or where you go" I rubbed the back of his neck with my thumb. "It's going to be alright" His dad came out of the room
"Son…" He held out his hand. Chad took it and walked into the room with him. I stood, wiped my face and smoothed my clothes. A couple of minutes later Chad walked out, his tear soaked face. I wiped the water away with my thumbs and tippy toed kissing his forehead. I saw the doctor walk into the room.
"Come on…" I whispered and took his hand. He peered into the room one last time and took in a breath. The doctor put the sheet over the rest of her body. He breathed out. We started walking towards the elevator, then towards his car. I drove back to my house thinking his house is the last place he would want to be.
"Hey guys…" My mom said cheerful. It was Monday her day off "You're home really early" I shot her a look and closed her mouth. I walked with Chad upstairs to my room. He sat on my bed and kicked his shoes off.
"You hungry?" I asked standing near the door. He just had an emotionless face, hands at his sides, staring at his feet "I'll go make you something" I turned slowly on my heel and walked down the stairs
"Why does he look upset?" My mom asked. I turned on the over and took out a pan
"His mom got hit by a car"
"Oh. My. God. Is she alright?" I shook my head. She covered her mouth
"She didn't make it. She died at the hospital" I took out bread, ham and Swiss cheese. I made him a Monte Cristo. I popped it in the oven and waited for the cheese to melt.
"How's he taking it?"
"How do you think he's taking it?" I asked back "That's a stupid question, Mom"
"Sorry" she grumbled. I grabbed took the sandwich plate with a mitten and slid it onto a cooler plate. I picked up and fork and a knife and walked back upstairs. When I got into my room he was sitting in the same spot I left him in.
"Chad...?" I asked. He picked his head. I held out the plate and he took it, placing it on his lap. He tapped the edges of the plate and bit a small piece. Then another
"I'm not that hungry, Sonshine" he said lowly and put the plate on the nightstand. I took a seat next to him and kicked off my shoes too.
"Okay" I rubbed up and down his back
"I'm just tired…" he laid back and covered his face with one of his arms "I just don't understand why things couldn't go better. Why can't I press the rewind button on this day just so I can change things?"
"Because that's not the way life works"
"Unfortunately…"
"It'll all get better. I promise. It'll get better" I rubbed his knee and sighed.
CHAD POV
The more tears that urged to come down the more I held them in. Not wanting to cry anymore
"I'm going to miss her"
"Me too. I actually warmed up to her a little…" I chuckled slightly
"She's gone for… good"
"She's always going to be your mom. She's always with you"
"I want her here"
"You always will want her here. And she always will be…" I closed my eyes and exhaled. I slowly nodded off into a nap. I knew waking up would hurt
A/N
*Tear* So what did you think? Like, love, hate, bored? It was sort of a sad chapter toward the middle and end. Chad's mom dying? He getting a bro or sister but it not happening? Chad broke down, hard? I would've broken down too. Please review and tell me what you think. It's important to me!
*Part of this idea goes to xXbraetonxX…. Kind of*
