Sorry for the slow update. I have been amazingly busy and I want to give out a giant "Sorry" to everyone! Plus, I've had super writers block!
I hope this chapter makes up for the slow updating.
The footsteps were growing closer and Tawni and I were holding each other subconsciously. Our eyes were squeezed shut as we waited to be discovered.
I heard a door open and an angels voice filled through the room.
"Hey Portlyn," Chad said. "Shelly wants to see you so you can work on getting into character."
"Ok Chad!" Portlyn, like always, willing to do anything for Chad. I heard the footsteps retreating and Tawni and I let out the breaths we were holding.
I decided to peak outside of the curtain we were hiding behind and saw only Chad was standing there and he was starring at me. He reach into his jacket and pulled out a baby blue envelope and set it on the table. Chad shook his head in disappointment. He looked at me and I caught his mental message. This is for you, was his message and then he disappeared out the door.
"Coast is clear," I whispered to Tawni and she quickly jumped up and ran out the door. When she saw I wasn't leaving she grabbed my arm and started pulling me out the door with a hushed, "Hurry up!"
I replied with a simple, "I think I've forgot something."
When I knew she had left I picked up the blue envelope and opened up the letter.
Sonny,
I'm happy you are being the more mature one and not joining in this prank war. I'm also glad you are keeping your promise with trying to get the casts together. Meet me outside of the studio at 7:00 tonight.
Sincerely,
Chad Dylan Cooper
I felt my hands go numb as guilt washed over my whole body. It seemed for the first time, I was the jerk and he wasn't. I looked down at my watch and saw the time was 6:56 so I quickly shoved the letter into my pocket and ran out of room and passed Tawni.
"Where are you going?" She called.
"Mom's making her famous Wisconsin 10 cheese pizza," I lied over my shoulder. When I saw she believed my answer I picked up my pace.
I burst out of the double doors and saw Chad leaning against the building. He had a grim expression on his face and to show his mood gray clouds covered the sky and lightning and thunder filled the sky.
"Hi," I greeted lamely. I walked over to him sheepishly.
"Hi," he greeted back. "I see you got my letter."
"Uh, yeah." I admitted sheepishly.
"How could you Sonny? I thought we were going to try to bring the casts together so we don't have to constantly fight. I was hoping if we get the casts to accept each other they could accept that we were together but now I don't know if I want us together considering you snuck into the Mackenzie Falls set, pranking us."
"Chad-" I started by he interrupted me.
"No. Sonny, we're through. I don't like you enough to have you do that to Mackenzie Falls." Chad turned on his heals and left me standing there, stunned. The thunder was just loud enough to muffle the sound of my heart breaking. Here I am, broken hearted, guilty, oh and the icing on the cake – it started raining!
My hair was matted to my face and the rain disguised the tears that were pouring down my face. I sank down to my knees and pulled them up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. My chocolate colored brown hair was now black from getting wet and my clothes clung to my body.
My heart was like ice in my chest and I was falling apart at the seams.
Thunder boomed around me and lightning flashed. The wind howled like a wolf and I could almost hear my thoughts being spoken in the wind. But I love you enough to know you were right for breaking up with me. I'll stay strong on the outside for you even though on the inside I'm dying.
Today we had a day off from filming the movie and I was relieved. I hadn't talked very much lately and I could tell that my cast mates noticed I wasn't my cheerful self. I tried to avoid Chad as much as possible, which wasn't that easy considering we were the leads. Chad wasn't even glancing at me anymore. If we weren't in the same movie he would have never realized I existed.
Tawni constantly asked what was wrong but I always replied "nothing".
Right now I was lying on the couch in my dressing room writing a song. I pulled out my guitar and began to play and sing the ending of a song that I had been working on.
"Some where we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us"
A tear streaked down my face as I whispered the ending words.
"Don't forget."
"That was good," I jumped at the voice that came from behind me. I turned around and saw Chad was standing behind the couch. I didn't hear him come in.
"Um," I stammered as I whipped the tear from my cheek. "Thanks. Uh, not to be rude or anything but why are you here?"
"I needed to talk to you."
Sorry it's not that long I just had major writers block and didn't know what to write.
Review!
