Sonny.

June 28, 2010. 9:30 A.M.

I knocked on what I thought was Nico and Grady's room. Tawni and Zora hadn't been in their own room. I was looking for them, wanting to correct them at what they thought Chad and I were doing. It was a bit awkward having someone think that.

"Who is it?" Nico's voice came from inside the room.

"Sonny!" I replied.

Nico opened the door, and frowned at me. "If it isn't lover girl."

I sighed. "They told you?"

"Yes. And I'm very disappointed in you. You're only sixteen!"

"Thanks, dad." I rolled my eyes. "We didn't do what you think we did - or what Zora thought we did. What we did and what she thought we did are completely different things, because we didn't do anything!"

"What?"

I sighed again. "The point is, we didn't do anything. Chad was only kissing my neck when Zora walked in and thought we were..you know."

Nico narrowed his eyes at me. "You swear?"

"Yes!"

"But how do you mix those two things up?"

"I don't know, it's Zora!" I raised an eyebrow. "Does she even know what that is? Ah, whatever." I shook my head. "Now tell me where Zora and Tawni are - I need to set them straight!" Nico told me the location of the cafe Zora and Tawni had went to. I practically ran to the elevator and into the lobby. Before I made it to the door, though, the girl at the front desk called me over.

"Sonny Munroe, right?" I nodded. "The phone's for you."

I curiously took the phone from her. "Uh, hi?" I asked.

"Alison - or should I say, Sonny?" The girl's voice at the other end sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Yeah? Who is this?"

They completely ignored my question. "Did you see the latest news report - concerning you? It was on yesterday."

"Um, no, I didn't." I began to feel a bit creeped out by the mysterious caller (and how they knew where I was and who I was).

"Well, then you probably don't know that James is on his way to San Diego - in other words, coming to get you. Someone got a picture of you and Chad in the park not to far from the hotel you're in right now. I take it you two have the hots for eachother?"

I ignored the last part. "What? James? He knows where I am?" I then thought of something else. "Who are you, anyway?"

"You might know me. Does the name, Jodi Barrens, ring a bell?"

That's where I recognized her voice from! She sounded like a younger version of the Jodi that was on the news, though. I suddenly had about a billion questions to ask her. "Wait, why were you saying James knew where I was? It was obvious from the look on Michael's face - and the fact that he said it - that that wasn't part of what you were supposed to say."

Jodi chuckled. "I've been trying to help you. I figured if I told you James knew where you were, you'd be able to move before he got to you. But I'm afraid..ah, no, I don't want to explain this all over a phone. Do you mind meeting up with me?"

"Wait, aren't you in New York?"

"No, not anymore. We're filming on location, right now - the same city as you."

"Um, sure then, I guess."

"Great! Meet me at that park you and Chad shared your little kiss at, then?"

"How'd you-" but before I could finish my sentence, I heard a click, and then the dial tone.

June 28, 9:38 A.M.

When Jodi told me that James knew where I was, I completely forgot the Zora and Tawni situation. I had rushed over to the park instead of the cafe. The first time I looked around, I couldn't see Jodi anywhere. I thought it might have been a prank. But then, I looked around again, and I saw a girl who was waving me over.

"Sonny?" she questioned. I nodded. She stuck her hand out and smiled. "I'm Jodi."

The girl I saw in front of me, though, wasn't the Jodi I saw on television at all. Her hair wasn't dirty blonde and shoulder-length. Her skin wasn't slightly tan. She didn't look like she was in her late twenties at all. She looked like a teenager!

Her skin was pale - quite pale. Her hair was a light, nearly white blonde, and was long and extremely straight. She had bangs that were pushed to the side slightly. Her eyes were a light blue, and she didn't dress like an adult at all. She was wearing jeans and a blue tank top, along with red converse.

"Uh..Jodi?"

"Not what you were expecting, huh?" she asked, shrugging and sitting down on a bench. "I'm not as old as you thought. And, that person on T.V...to state it simply, wasn't me."

Well that cleared things up, real good.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Well, my tan skin - lighting in the studio. My hair? A wig. And everything else, make up and clothes."

I scanned my eyes over her. "How old are you, exactly?"

"Sixteen." she smiled.

"Then how the heck are you on the news?"

"Lieing, tricking, and extreme smarts." she tapped her head. "Besides that, I'm related to the anchor that was there before Michael. I was on the show with him for a while, but he eventually quit - allowing Michael to take his place. Everyone else - thinking I was way older then I actually was - didn't fire me. Anyway, for the main subject...you know how I told you James knows you're here?"

"Yeah..."

"Since he was in Arizona...well, Sonny, I hate to say this, but I think he could be here right now."

"What?" I exclaimed, my eyes nearly popping out of my head. He was there? "No, no, he can't be! He might find me! He might-"

Jodi covered my mouth with her hand, stopping me from talking. "Don't attract any unwanted attention." she frowned, taking her hand back. "Now, I know that. So, I-"

"Wait," I cut her off. "How did you know about James when you weren't supposed to?"

"Oh..well, I eavesdropped on Michael and James' conversations and phone calls."

"Why, though?"

"Sonny," Jodi sighed. "I know that he abused you. And I just - I couldn't believe it. I wanted to make sure you stayed away from him, and that you were safe." she smiled. "Now, what I was going to say. I want to help you again. I have a plan."

That news anchor was more strange then I ever imagined.

Jodi's only sixteen?

"Lieing, tricking, and extreme smarts."

Nice, Jodi, nice.
