A/N: I'm SOO sorry I haven't updated in ages! I feel horrible. You see, my sister spilled water on my laptop a while back when I was finishing up chapter three for "A CinderSonny Story" and unfortunately I wasn't able to save the chapter. I got frustrated and threw a completely unnecessary tantrum and didn't write for a long time. And I kept making plans to go back on and start working on more chapters but school got in the way, and a bunch of other things. So, hopefully you forgive me, and enjoy chapter 10!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the plot…and a few characters!
Operation: Get Rid Of Hannah
SPOV (Sonny)
You know, that lunch with Nick wasn't so bad…He's a pretty awesome guy and the conversations we had were pretty real and deep. It wasn't as awkward as the fake date with Chad. I mean, I enjoyed it of course, but with Chad, the fake date didn't change anything. We went right back to despising the very essence of each other's being right after. He posted lies on his blog and I yelled at him for it the next day.
Ugh. This cannot be happening. Really falling for Nick would suck, because he doesn't REALLY like me, at least from what I can tell. And…I don't want to like Nick, to be honest. I really care about Chad even if he had no serious interest in me. But, according to Port, Chad wont be very ignorant of me soon. Well, I guess I'll be optimistic about it and hope she speaks the truth.
At the moment, I'm outside the studio, waiting for Portlyn to pull up and honestly, she better hurry up and get here soon. Its freezing out! She was sleeping over again because, once again, my dad hadn't arrived yet and there wasn't any news of my mom waking up anytime soon. Nick had left right after lunch, or so I'd thought.
"Hey Sonny. Waiting for Portlyn?" Nick asked as he walked up behind me. I jumped.
"My god Nick, you scared me. And yeah." I replied.
"Oh, Sorry about that." He laughed, then noticed my shivering. "Do you want my jacket?" He asked, already taking it off.
"No, then you'll be freezing." I responded, while pouting slightly.
"I insist." He said simply, while he put it over my shoulders. "You really do look beautiful today, Sonny" He added. I looked down and blushed a little. No! Resist him, Sonny! Come on! Ugh. I was about to respond with a simple 'Thanks" but I finally caught sight of Portlyn's car.
"Oh, well…There's Portlyn…I'll talk to you later. Bye Nick" I said shyly. Picking up the pace as I jogged over to the convertible.
"See you later Sonny, Keep the jacket too." He yelled over the purr of Portlyn's engine. I nodded and hopped into the passengers seat. Portlyn studied me for a half a second and glared.
"Sonny…Who does that jacket belong to…?" she questioned.
"Nick." I mumbled quietly.
"Who?" She asked louder. I couldn't take the pressure.
"Nick! Okay? Nick gave me his jacket!" I yelled. Portlyn signed.
"Sonny Monroe. You fell for Nick Jonas. Damn it." she muttered.
"Portlyn. Are you seriously kidding me? No, I have zero feelings for Nick. My attention is on Chad." I responded back, shocked by her accusation, although I couldn't disagree. I was slightly falling for Nick, without trying to.
"Well, you really better not Sonny. I'm telling you this as a best friend. Nick isn't the right guy for you, or any girl for that matter. He has some things to work out first." she responded softly. Wait, what?
"What are you talking about?" I asked, extremely confused. Not right for any girl? Portlyn bit her lip before answering.
"Now, don't take this the wrong way…My cousin's a good guy for the most part…but he's a huge player…He's had countless celebrity girlfriends, those of which he's cheated on…and several affairs with fans…He's got to work on respecting women first…and Sonny, the act he's putting on you…he has used before…" She said, slowly. I stared blankly at her. Nick? The same Nick I was talking to five seconds ago?? A player?
"What…?" I managed to choke out. I was speechless. He seemed like such a nice guy…
"Sonny, I know this may be really unbelievable, especially coming from me, but please keep your eyes on the prize. Chad is really a nice guy when he's not playing the role of America's teen heart throb… And when I see you guys together…I see a connection. Nick isn't who you think he is." She responded, completely serious. I've never seen Portlyn act this…solemn…It was strange, and I felt like I needed to believe her. But I was unsure.
"Portlyn, I've never seen you this serious…So, I think I believe you…I'll try to keep the attraction fake…" I whispered.
"That's all I ask." She then brightened up. "How was work?" She added on.
"Well, it was interesting. Nico came up with this new sketch idea where we're all dressed up as aliens and…" I was interrupted by Portlyn groaning.
"SonShine, you don't realize how lucky you are. You get to have the best time shooting scenes, writing sketches, and putting your show together. Mackenzie Falls is boring. I don't even know why it is the number one show, to be honest. So Random! is much funnier. What I would give to at least guest star on a show like that…" She babbled. It was an interesting idea, but right now was no time.
"You should definitely guest star on So Random! one day but right now, we have Hannah to look out for." I said quietly.
"Oh, right" She muttered back. The rest of the drive to my house was pretty quiet. We talked about random subjects, including my outfit for tomorrow and new ways to fake flirt with Nick. Portlyn put a lot of emphasis on the word "fake" when it came to me and Nick. And I understood why. Soon enough, we pulled up to my driveway and got out of the car.
"Does it feel weird that no one but you lives here at the moment?" She asked as we walked through the doorway. Hmm. Does it?
"Honestly Port, I don't know…I guess the thought hasn't really sunk in yet…God I hope my mom's ok.." I muttered back.
"Sonny, I'm sure she'll be fine…Lets watch some television to get your mind off these kind of subjects." She said with a smile while plopping down on the couch. I followed after her.
"Good idea." I replied, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. We watched endless comedies and laughed until we began to cry.
It's awesome that me and Portlyn had a mutual love for comedy. Its never something you'd expect from someone from "The falls." All was going well…It was getting pretty late, around midnight…We were almost asleep right there on the couch, until we heard a knock at the door….
Both of our eyes shot towards the front door, we looked at each other cautiously, and we motioned slowly to the door…
A/N: Oh goodness! Now who could that be at the door? Sorry I had to end it here, but I really want to start working on chapters for my other stories too! My apologies again for the unnecessary wait! Reviews are loved! Stay tuned for the next chapter soon!
