Heyyyyyyyyaa peoples. Thanks for all the alert and reviews! Keep em' coming! Here's the next chapter, hope you like it. Also, it's gonna be a little OOC. The contest is still going on, so please go "Check It Out!"
SPOV:
This day has been so awkward. I need to just go somewhere and sort out my thoughts. I pulled out my phone to text my Mom.
"Hey Mom. It's been a long day at work. Gonna go take a drive. I'll be home later. Love ya."
About 5 minutes later I recieved a text back.
"Okay sweetheart. Stay safe. Love you too."
Yes, my Mom actually texts. Kinda hard to believe, I know.
Now...where to go. I could go window shopping. Nah, that's no fun by myself. I could...go to a cafe, and just read a book. Ooo! I got it! I could go to the beach again. I'm always relaxed there, and I could go to my special spot. Perfect.
CPOV:
I need to get out of here. Now.
I changed into a t-shirt and some board shorts. I grabbed my Aviators and my car keys and hopped in. What had I done? What had I said? I needed to take some time to unwind. I needed to get all my thoughts together. Maybe I'll just go to the beach. Simple. Fairly peaceful. Aside from my adoring fans that will swarm me when I get there. Now, CDC never turns down fans, but I'm not in the mood today. This is gonna be a problem. Unless...no, I can't. Wait, yes I can! I'll go to that little spot Sonny showed me.
As I drove down the road to the beach, I came to a stop light. I reached in my backseat and grabbed the hat I wore last time. I put it on before taking off again. Once I pulled into the parking lot, I casually walked up to the area I was at last time, only this time I snuck onto the path up to the hill. Once I got up there, and went and sat in the hollow rock and closed my eyes.
SPOV:
"Great job kids. You can leave now. I'll see you tomorrow." Marshall said as he left the set.
I didn't waste a minute. I ran straight to my dressing room. I grabbed my already prepared beach bag and ran out the studio door to my car. I ran right past Tawni in the hall. I really didn't want to stop and explain anything to her, so I kept going.
TPOV:
I did SO good in rehersals. I flawlessly remembered and delivered my lines, and I looked pretty! One of the things I always am. I started walking to my dressing room when someone flew right by me. The shadow was hard to make out, though it looked like Sonny. "Where was she going? And in such a hurry?" I thought to myself. Oh, whatever. I don't care. All that matters, is I'm PRETTY!
SPOV:
Finally I pulled into the parking lot. A took a few pictures and signed a few autographs before I casually made my way towards the grainy sand. I stopped in my tracks and closed my eyes. I took off my sandals. I captured the smell of the ocean, the sound of the birds, and the feel of the sand. I opened my eyes and smiled as I looked ahead. I saw the path leading up to my special spot. I started my way up the trail. I reached the top and smiled at the beautiful view. I made my way to the hollow rock to set my bag down. What I saw was probably the last thing I wanted to see right now. Chad Dylan Cooper. "Chad! What are you DOING here?"
CPOV:
I felt so calm. It was so nice up here, though I will never admit that to anyone but Sonny. Man. What did I do? I ruined everything. And the worst part? I wasn't even smooth about it. I was a complete idiot about it. I mean, "Happy April Fools"...Really Chad, Really? I felt eyes staring at me. I opened my eyes and saw what I least expected. Sonny. "Chad! What are you DOING here?"
"I-Sonny...I was..I just...I came up here to...and I'm..."
"Chad. It's ok. I'm not mad. I'm just surprised." She said as I straightened up and she sat next to me.
"I just...needed to clear my mind. So I remembered when you took me here, and thought it would be a good place to go. But since you're here I'll just leav-" I said as I started to stand up.
"Chad, wait." she said grabbing my arm "Don't go."
I smiled. I sat back down.
"Look...Sonny. I'm sorry. A-about earlier."
"*gasps* Did Chad Dylan Cooper just APOLOGIZE?" She said feigning shock.
"Look Monroe, I'm trying to be sincere here. But if you prefer, I could just stop." I started to smirk.
She giggled. "No, continue."
"I just...never mind. You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Well, you're kind of a liar. It's kinda hard to believe you." I started to frown. "BUT-I'll believe you. And I won't laugh." She said grabbing my hand.
I looked down at my hand. Then at her. Then at my hand. Then at her. I gulped. Keep your cool, Chad, keep your cool! I cleared my throat.
"I don't really know where to start..."
"Okay," she smirked "Let's start with that ridiculous interogation in the hall. What was that about? And...the April Fools thing...really Chad, really?"
I laughed as she used my infamous line.
"Like I said Monroe. I couldn't let you ask him out."
"WHO, Chad? Ask WHO out?" She said with sincere confusion in her eyes.
"*sigh* James. James...Conroy." I hated that sentence. I hated that guy.
"What? JAMES? Why in the WORLD would I ask him out? Haven't we established how we both hate him?"
"Yeah..."
"Then WHY would I ask him out? Where did you even get the impression that I was going to do that?"
"The...dream." I said as I dramatically turned my head to the side.
She slapped my head.
"Stop being dramatic. What dream?"
"The dream I had."
"Wait a minute. You had a dream that I was going to ask James out, so you came barging over to stop me?"
"No."
"No?"
"Well no, but yes. I mean, it didn't exactly happen like that."
"Then tell me, Chad, how exactly did it happen? You're leaving me quite confused. And my patience is leaving more and more by the minute." She said, with a half glare.
"I know. I'm sorry. It's just...it's not easy to say, alright?"
"Chad..." she said grabbing my chin to look her in the eyes "It's ok. You can tell me."
"Alright." I said an octave higher, with a blank stare on my face. Gah. Stupid cute.
"I had this dream, ok? I dreamt that I was asleep in my dressing room, and you came and woke me up. You said you needed to ask me for advice. You told me that there was this guy you liked that at first you didn't get along with but now you wanted to know how he felt. I was for some unknown reason under the impression that you were referring to me, so I smiled and said "Go for it." So you started to run away and when I asked where you were going, completly confused at this point, you said you were going to take my advice and ask out James. That's when I woke up. I woke up to find "So Random" on. NOT because I was watching it, but because I had actually fallen asleep watching Mackenzie Falls. Yeah, it was my episode of "So Random" I said smirking and looking off to the side.
"YOUR episode Chad?"
"Really? I just told you all that and all you got from that was about the episode?"
"R-right...sorry. So, if you knew it was a dream, why'd you still come after me?"
"B-b-because...I had...to...uh...make sure, that you never asked out James. For your own good sake. Didn't we establish this already?"
"You care!"
"No! I don't care! I just..."
"What, Chad? Wanted to try on the weird beard?"
"YES!"
"HA! There is no beard! You care!"
"Somebody...wanted to...make sure you didn't ask out James...because I didn't want you to need me as your fake date again." I said with the most convincing face I could put on.
"REALLY Chad, really? That's seriously the BEST you could come up with?"
"I...yeah, Guess so." I said looking down
"But wait,...this still doesn't explain why YOU asked me out."
Oh gosh. What am I gonna say? Deny it. Deny whatever she says.
"I...didn't ask you out."
"Yes you did. And I quote "Sonny, will you go out with me?"
"Are you sure that was me? I think you're mistaken..." I said as my voice progressively got higher.
"Chad."
"I don't know, ok? It just...came out!"
"Do you like me, Chad?" She asked with all seriousness on her face.
"I dunno...do you like me?" I said moving my feet through the sand.
"I dunno...maybe." She said under her breath.
"So?"
"So...what?" She looked at me puzzled.
"You technically never answered the question."
"Well you technically never said if you really meant the question."
"Well...let's say I did. What would your answer be?" I guess we were just leaving everything on the line. This conversation was going somewhere I never expected.
"If you did...mean the question...I guess I would say...sure." She said blushing.
I was taken back. With...joy? "So we're doing this?"
"I guess so!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
We looked at each other and smiled, both blushing.
"So...we're good?" I asked.
"Oh, we're so good."
10 minutes went by without saying a word. The awkwardness had kicked in.
"...so." She broke the silence.
"So..."
Just then she took a handful of sand and poured it all over my hair. She started giggling.
"Monroe?"
"Yes?" She asked, still giggling.
"You have nice legs, let's see if they can move!" I said as I got up to chase her.
"Is that a threat or a compliment?" She teased as she started running.
A/N: Ok...so...I'm not too proud of this chapter, because it's so OOC. But it kinda had to be so they could have their conversation. It's hard to keep them in character when they need to be honest with each other like that. So...you can press the review button if you want, and don't forget to check out my contest! This was kinda a filler chapter, I promise the story will get better from here. Thanks!
