Hey so I decided that each chapter will have a song 'dedication', I guess you could say. So here it is.
"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"
By: Journey.
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
(Sonny POV)
Separate Ways:
I walked into the cafeteria and sat down with my cast. That was something I thought about often; why does everyone sit with only their own cast? I mean, there were a few exceptions to that observation. Take Bryan for example. Bryan was one of the actors on a show so small it didn't even have a definitive name. I think it has changed three times since I arrived in Hollywood. I didn't even know how it survived as long as it had.
Bryan Adamson was the kind of boy who girl's on the lower level of the 'pyramid of popularity' would love to go out with. He was sweet and good looking for a minor show. He had brown hair and always told me that he never dreamed of becoming an actor. He was the exact opposite of most of the people here at Condor Studios. Bryan sat at our table every day. Even on his off days, he would still show up and sit with us. It was kind of weird.
Anyways, Bryan sat with us because—
"Hey beautiful," he said, sitting in the empty seat.
That would be why. Bryan was—
"Aw! Thank you," Tawni squealed.
Okay, it's not what you think. I can see it now. You think Bryan and Tawni are dating. Right? Wrong! You see, Bryan was—
"Tawni, you know I don't mean you," Bryan said.
"But eventually you will," Tawni muttered.
"Tawni, don't keep trying to make yourself feel better about what happened between us. Nothing happened between me and Janelle; she's my cousin. Just come back to me," Nico quietly pleaded.
"Can it, you dirty cheater! 'She's my cousin' is the oldest excuse in the book," Tawni growled.
"Why won't she believe me," Nico asked me. I shrugged.
Anyways, before there are anymore interruptions, Bryan was my boyfriend. He had twinkly blue eyes, but not as twinkly as someone else's. You could say that I was just dating Bryan as a pity thing but that sounds bad. How about this? I was dating him as a placeholder and some comfort that a pair of twinkly blue eyes could love me even when the ones I wanted wouldn't.
It was then that I looked up at the door and saw the twinkly blue eyes I longed for; those of none other than Mr. Chad Dylan Cooper. Though I was always able to talk to him without acting like a lovesick idiot, everything about him left me speechless. There was his silky blonde hair, his peaceful (most of the time) essence, his perfectly toned muscles, but mostly his ocean blue eyes. They were like precious gemstones. How about this: You know how in a jewelry store there are many gemstones? Well, I am looking at the pearls but what I really want are the diamonds.
"So Sonny," Bryan asked, snapping me out of my reverie.
"Huh," I said.
"Is Friday night cool," he asked.
"I'm sorry…I didn't hear that. I was thinking about something. Sorry, but I can't. I promised my mom that I would stay home and help her around the house," I said.
So I haven't told him that my mom and I lived in an apartment. I don't trust everyone with that information. I only trust several people. I trust Nico, Grady, Zora, Tawni, and Chad. Why I trusted Chad, I never understood but he didn't disrupt my world at my home so I didn't care.
"Oh…well can we do something over the weekend," Bryan asked.
"I'll have to check my schedule. I think I am clear but I am not completely sure about that," I explained.
"Okay. Just don't wait until the last minute," he said. I smiled.
He was really nice about that stuff. He acted tough about it, like he would kill me if I waited, when really, he would be fine with it. He'd ask me about what I did when we were apart and we'd go back to the way we had been.
I was about to tell Bryan that I probably couldn't do anything over the weekend but I was cut off, yet again; this time by his phone. He looked down, typed a response to the text, and looked up. He looked kind of sad about whatever must have been in the text message.
"Sorry Sonny, I've got to go…I'll call you," he said and then got up and left.

When Tawni and I got back to our dressing room, she quickly whipped the door closed.
"He's cheating on you," she blurted.
"Stop quoting last week's episode of Mackenzie Falls. You hate that show," I said, somewhat annoyed.
"I'm not…purposely. He's cheating on you, Sonny," Tawni said.
"Fine! I'll play along with this. Apparently you're Penelope trying to break Mackenzie and Chloe up…which makes me Chloe. 'Who's cheating on me Tawni? Who is it'," I asked in my most dramatic voice.
"Sonny! Cut the act," Tawni screeched.
"I thought you were the one acting," I said.
"I'm not. And can we please stop this Mackenzie Falls idiocy," she asked.
"I'm not the one who started it," I defended myself.
"I didn't try to make it about Mackenzie Falls! I was stating a point! You just had to go and think about our dramatic enemies," she said.
"Sonny, please think about it! I said he's cheating on you. Who could be cheating on you?"
My whole relationship flashed before my eyes. Is Tawni trying to break us up; Bryan and me? She is my roommate! She would never do that…would she? If she is pulling something on me, I will go straight up to Marshall and complain that my roommate is a boyfriend stealing, selfish monster.
"What are you saying," I asked.
"He's cheating on you…Bryan. I'm sorry," Tawni said.
Just a little 'gift' for all of you. Since I got great feedback on a tiny little 'chapter' that was just about 500 words, I decided to A) continue, and B) give you another chapter at this point. Please REVIEW! :D Thanks to everyone!
