I'm out of school finally and I have been at a camp from some time and I just got back. Thanks everyone for the reviews! I was listening to Wishes by Superchick and I've added some lyrics into this Chapter. I also added some other song lyrics from some other songs I was listening to while I was writing that I thought fit the chapter.

So, here is Chapter 7!


The saddest thing is you could be anything that you could want.
We could've been everything, but now we're not.
Now it's not anything at all. – Wishes by superchick

"I need to talk to you."

I straightened myself up and placed my guitar on the couch. I cleared my throat, whipped my eyes once more just to make sure there were no more tears left, and looked up at him.

"Okay," I said through a shaky voice. I could hardly look him in the eyes. "About what?"

"Shelly hasn't been too happy with your acting. She says you're lifeless up there," Chad told me. "What's been up with you lately?"

I could feel anger building inside of me as I looked at him. I could feel the old feelings I had for Chad start to trickle back. The anger I felt towards him. It was like all of the feelings I felt right now were locked inside of me and I didn't know they were there, and now they were all rushing out from the little cage they had been locked in.

"What's been up with me lately? You want to know what's been up with me lately? You have!" I yelled at him, standing up.

"Girl, keep your moody hormones in check," I heard Chad mutter. I could feel my face heating with rage.

"Chad you don't care about anyone but yourself," I yelled at him again. "You didn't care that you left me heart broken in the rain after I try to tell you I was sorry, you practically ignored me for the past few days, and now you have the nerve to come over here and ask what's been up with me lately!"

Chad looked taken aback by my rage and his eyes were widening as I worked my way around the couch towards him. He opened his mouth to talk but I cut him off.

"You don't even care about what I'm saying, considering you don't like me that much. All you've done for these past few days is just act like nothing has happened and I am here righting the most freakin' emotional song I've ever written." I was so angry that I felt like I was going to pass out. I felt bad that I was taking out all of my stress out on him but I just couldn't stop it.

Chad just stood there saying nothing, like he was speechless. All of his witty comments, completely gone from his head.

"Ugh!" I yelled and ran out of the room.

You broke my heart; I'm taking it back from you.
Life goes on before and after you.
I've got some growing up to do. – Wishes by Superchick

I wasn't even watching where I was going until I found myself outside under a tree behind the studio. It was an apple tree and there were a few apples hanging from the tree. This was one of my favorite places to be whenever I needed to be alone. I couldn't believe I said those things to Chad. I felt guilty and terrible. It wasn't me who had talked; it was like someone else had taken over my mouth.

All of my energy was draining from my body as I just sat there under the apple tree. I rested my head on my knees and squeezed my eyes shut for a second. I then reopened them and lifted my head. I picked the closest apple that was ripe and took a bite out of it. I spit out something unwanted. Even a perfect apple can have a seed.

I throw the apple down on the ground and looked around me. The apple tree was placed on a hill and right now the sun was setting behind the studio. The sky was lit orange and pink and I could see twilight approaching. I placed my head back on my knees and closed my eyes and ended up falling asleep, just waiting for this day to be over.

Chad's POV

I just stood there and watched Sonny leave. Had I hurt her that bad? I mean, she prank'd my cast, but I did leave her in the rain and ignored her. You don't like Sonny, I kept telling myself. It was even hard to convince myself. I began to leave the studio and head out to the central part of Hollywood. I had my black hoodie over my head so no one would notice me and my hands were stuffed into my jean pockets.

I walked into a local coffee shop and kept my head down as I walked towards the counter. I lifted my head when I reached the cashier and I saw Sonny in a coffee shop uniform.

"Sonny?" I asked in bewilderment. She gave me a weird look.

"No, I'm Bryan," A deep voice told me. I blinked and there stood a tall guy with curly black hair with bad acne. Okay, that was weird.

"French vanilla. Now." I snapped my fingers, impatiently. Today I was not in the mood for waiting for anyone, especially this guy. The guy glared at me, and I gladly glared back. He walked to the back table, made my coffee and slammed it on the table.

"Enjoy," Bryan muttered.

"I'll try," I answered sarcastically. I walked over to a table and sat down. I took a long sip, burning my tongue in the process. I set my cup down and saw I wasn't alone at the table. Sonny was sitting in front of me in a floral blue and yellow dress and a quarter length yellow sweater over it.

I almost choked on my coffee. My eyes practically popped out of my head.

"Just say you're sorry," she said softly. I was about to speak when she disappeared out of thin air.

"This is getting weird," I mumbled to myself as finished my cup if coffee. I threw it in the trash and talked back outside. The sun was already gone and the moon was high in the sky. The Hollywood lights were lighting up the streets and the light up signs were casting purple and blue lights all around.

A cold wind blew my hood off my head and I looked up at a sign that was blinking, "Just say I love you already, Chad." I shook my head as if to clear a thought from my head and looked back up at the same sign, but this one read, "Dream big, become a star!"

I continued to walk down the street and so many signs were yelling at me. Signs from "Just tell her how you really feel!" to "You love Sonny Monroe, Chad. Just admit it!" I couldn't take it anymore! I ran down the streets, my hood over my head, not looking at any signs. I just had to get out of there.

I finally reached the studio and practically ran to my dressing room. I slammed my door shut and jumped on my bed. I through my arms over my eyes and just prayed that sleep would find me. It did, though now I wish it hadn't. I had a dream…

I was watching from above as if I were a different person, watching what happened the other day. I watched as Sonny stared after the other me as the other me walked away. The rain was starting to pour down and Sonny fell down to her knees and she slowly pulled them up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. I could see sobs escape her chest and her mascara was running.

Didn't mean
Didn't mean to leave you stranded
Went away cause I didn't want to face the truth
Reaching out
Reach for me
Empty handed
You don't know if I care
You're trying to find the proof
– Save You by Kelly Clarkson

The thunder was crashing and the lightning was flashing. I wanted to yell out to Sonny and tell her it was alright and that I did like her, maybe even love her. But I couldn't speak; all I could do was watch as she cried in the rain.

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what
's lost can be found
You stand in the rain – Stand in the Rain by Superchick

I needed to try to talk to her again. If it's the last thing I do, I am going it make her happy. Wow, Chad Dylan Cooper wanting someone happy? Must be the coffee I drank.

I woke up and I ran towards the computer and went to google. I typed in "romantic ways to make a girl realize you love her."
