Chad blocked Trey's, Max's, and Jason's numbers during his stay at the facility. He was a bit nervous at first, since they were constantly calling him and sending him text messages. Dr. Johnson had insisted, "If you wish to move on past your addiction, you must move away from those who brought you to the addiction." It was hard, but he finally did it. He knew they wouldn't be happy... would they even care that much after a while?

After coming back from rehabiliation, he hadn't gotten any visits or letters or anything from them. He was relieved at first, and, for the most part, forgot about them. He attended his first NA meeting one week after returning. It was a closed meeting, thankfully, so no lurkers could just wander in and oogle at him. Dr. Johnson had told the group that he would be joining them then, and they honestly did not seem to care that he was a famous celebrity. They treated him like a normal person, something he was immediately grateful for. Even though he was appreciative of their normal-ness, he wasn't sure about opening up to them. After a few people introduced themselves, he started with:

"Hello, my name is Chad..."

"Hello, Chad."

"...and I'm a drug addict."

"How did you become a drug addict?" the group leader, Steve, asked.

Chad thought for a moment. "I had these 'friends'... they introduced them to me over a year ago."

That's all he needed to say before they moved on. It was mostly an introductory meeting for Chad; he was determined to stay clean, and he wanted to know what these meetings were about. They had meetings every week, and out of the four weeks in a month, three were closed, and one was public. He wasn't too excited about those meetings, and he found out some of the other members didn't like those meetings, either. Some people who walked in were a bit too intrusive on their personal lives, and some people didn't like that. Steve said it wasn't mandatory to go to the public meetings, though he encouraged everyone to go to at least a few.

After the meeting, the members chatted for a while, and Chad tried chatting with at least everyone, and talked to Steve a bit more, who gave him papers about NA and their meetings and such. He eventually left, and as he walked out into the parking lot, he looked over and saw Jason standing there. He froze as he stared at Jason; he was not expecting him to be there.

"Well," Jason said, walking over to Chad. He looked at the papers in Chad's hands and chuckled. "NA? Really, Chad?"

"Really," Chad said, glaring at him slightly. "Now if you'll excuse me..."

"No," Jason interfered. "Why are you abandoning us, Chad? Why are you betraying us? We're your friends, Chad. What happened?"

"I had an addiction, and it was taking over my life."

Jason started laughing. "Really, Chad? That's the cheesiest bullshit I've ever heard! Did you learn that in rehab?"

"Shut up!" Chad exclaimed. "Just leave me alone!"

"Fine," Jason easily said, shrugging. "This won't be the last time you see me, Chad. You'll be crawling back during your relapse, begging for us to forgive you..."

Chad wasn't in the mood to hear him anymore. He shoved past his former friend and walked over to his car. He quickly got in and quickly drove off, wanting to get out of the area. He drove back to his apartment, but sat in the parking lot for a long time, not wanting to go inside. He had considered moving elsewhere, and had actually began to clean up his place and start packing things up, just in casae a moment like this came. Now seemed like the perfect time to move.

---

Within the week, he had moved to another apartment. It was a bit closer to his parents apartment, but still close to Condor Studios. Both Sonny and Chad filmed during the day, and Alex worked during the day, so they couldn't pack until the night, but his parents would sometimes go over to his apartment during the day and help him out even more. He had quickly bought and paid for a new apartment, so he was able to start moving in as he was packing out of his old one. He wasn't worried about selling it until after he had moved. He definitely wasn't going to keep it, but didn't want to work, pack, sell his apartment, and continue to do other activities all at the same time.

Thankfully, the next NA meeting was a public one, so he decided to not go to that one, even though his parents insisted he went. He decided to go to the next public one; he wasn't ready for this one. He called Steve to tell him about his decision, and Steve didn't seem to mind at all, and completely understood.

Of course, it took him a few days to unpack, but he wasn't going to bother Sonny, Alex, or his parents with that, though they all insisted on helping him. He got all his clothes, shoes, kitchenware, and electronics unpacked, and was slowly unpacking everything else.

A few days after he moved in, after having a short day at work (surprisingly, he got out around 2:30), he went onto his patio and sat there for hours. It was the second week of February, and of course it was in the 70s in southern California, and he saw a variety of people swimming in the pool. He watched people walk around the apartment complex, watch people leave their apartments and come back, or people leaving, and others coming back. He got on his laptop after a while and did a few things: checked his e-mail, read on some news, checked some websites, and then he decided to update his blog. He didn't say much, but talked briefly about his stay in Colorado and how he was unpacking at his new apartment. He was only choosing certain people to talk to about what happened at the facility. Maybe one day he would tell the world, but this time was not the time.

He suddenly heard a knock at his door. Confused, he set his laptop down and walked to his front door. He opened it and found a slightly amused Sonny at his door. "Finally, you open the door," she said, walking in.

"How long were you there?" Chad asked, shutting the door and following her over to one of his couches.

"About five minutes," she said, laughing. "I almost called you."

He laughed and sat down next to her. "Sorry. I was out on the patio. Beautiful view."

"You left work early," she said, pulling her legs close to her and turning to Chad.

He looked at her and nodded. "Yeah. I had to film a couple of scenes for the new episode. Mackenzie returns from visiting Europe - his family bought more water from there, and they plan on selling a new brand of European water."

Sonny nods. "Interesting."

He laughed and shrugged. "You sound so enthusiastic."

She giggled. "Oh, I'm just excited to see you back on the show. It just hasn't been the same..."

"Of course. What would Mackenzie Falls be WITHOUT Mackenzie?"

"A boring show with a confusing title," she said, shrugging.

He laughed, and she giggled with him. She leaned over and wrapped her arms around his torso, her legs resting slightly on top of his. He wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on top of hers. He kissed the top of her head and asked, "So what brings you over here today?"

She paused for a moment. "Mom left yesterday."

He frowned. Her Mom had been thinking about going back to Wisconsin for a while now, to take care of her parents and be closer to her family. He didn't realize she'd be leaving this soon, though. He rubbed her back slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Sonny."

She shrugged. "It's sudden, but I've been expecting it for a while now... I mean, it's not like I'm 16 and can't really live by myself. I'm 18, and, well, I guess I can live by myself..."

He brought her closer to him, to where she was almost sitting on his lap. She adjusted herself to where she was on his lap, her head resting on his shoulder. "You can stay here for a few days, if you want..."

She thought about that for a moment, her fingers tracing his back. "Sure," she murmured, looking at his face.

He smiled at her and said, "You sure?"

She nodded. "Yeah. I would love to."

He grinned and leaned down and kissed her. She straightened up, kissing him back. She moved her legs, her legs know placed around his legs, straddling his waist. He placed one hand in her hair and the other on her waist, bringing her closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, their bodies touching as they continued to make out. He broke the kiss as he started kissing her jaw, neck, and collarbone. She shut her eyes, her breathing more erratic as he continued to kiss her.

"Chad..." she whispered, leaning into his kisses.

He grinned, continuing to leave little kisses on her neck as his hands roamed lower, past her waist and around her butt and thighs. She let out a mix between a gasp and a moan as his hands continued to roam her body. She let her hands fall from over his shoulders and onto his chest, going lower until she reached the bottom of his shirt. She lifted up his shirt slightly and let her hands roam around his stomach lightly. She could feel his muscles tense under her touch, and she grinned.

They continued this for a few minutes, touching and kissng each other, before they stopped, breathing erratically. They looked at each other. Sonny's shirt was unbuttoned, Chad's shirt was off, their hair was frazzled, and each wore looks of lust on their faces.

"Sonny..." he started.

"Chad," she suddenly said, her hands cupping the sides of his face. She looked him in his eyes, his sparkling, beautiful blue eyes, and said to him, "I want you."

He nodded, grinning lightly. "Okay. Let's move to my room then."

---

Sonny lost her virginity to Chad that night. She knew this wasn't his first time, but he knew it was hers, and was very gentle during their lovemaking. She knew it would be painful, but it wasn't as painful as she thought it was going to be.

Afterwards, they laid in bed, taking in what had just happened. Chad rolled over after a few minutes and wrapped his arm around her bare waist. "Are you okay?" he softly asked.

She nodded, turning on her side and smiling at him. "Yeah."

He leaned forward and softly kissed her. She softly kissed him back before laying her head on the pillow. Suddenly, her phone started to vibrate, and she grabbed her phone from the table next to his bed and looked at it. She started responding to a few text messages. He grinned and started kissing her neck and shoulders.

"Chad..." she whined.

"You know you like it..." he said, grinning at her as he continued to leave kisses around her body.

She stifled a moan as she started typing quicker. "N-not right now, Ch-Chad... I'm kinda tired..."

"Oh, you know you're up for one more round..." he said, slipping a finger inside of her.

She squeaked, quickly placing her phone on the table and looking at him. "F-fine! But..." She tilted his head towards him. "I want to be on top this time."

A/N: And here's a filler chapter for you! Yes, as you can tell, I ran a bit out of ideas, so I decided to put in a little mature Channy for you ;) And happy Channy day? I heard August 31st is "official Channy day" (why it's today, I'm not sure), and today is that day, so... yep! Here's your present =D I -might- be able to get a little something up later, but I can't guarantee anything. And I especially can't guarantee anything Tuesday, since I'll be starting school then, and I work a little bit after school ends. But, I'll try to have something up later today, but sometime Tuesday morning / night at the latest (assuming I start writing later). And thanks for the reviews! We reached 70 quickly, haha. Let's reach for 80 this time, okay? =)
