A/N: I'm baaaccckkk! Sorry for the long break! I've been busy, and frankly I've just had writer's block for this story. :P This story is almost over. One more chapter after this! I've got the next chapter already written and I'll probably post it tomorrow. I have 2 more Channy stories in mind. Anyways, enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Once again, I do not own anything. If I owned Sonny With A Chance, Channy never would have broken up and they'd still be together even though Demi left. And the new series would be So Random AND Mackenzie Falls. OKAY, THAT'S ALL.
Sonny's POV
The first thing I did as soon as we got back to the hotel was take a long shower. So many questions clouded my mind. How would we be able to explain that picture? Did we want to admit we were dating or keep it to ourselves?
I took so long, that the rest of the girls kept yelling through the door for me to hurry. I changed into new clothes and wrapped a towel around my shoulders to soak up the water from my hair. When I exited the bathroom, I saw the girls waiting were reading, texting, and laying out outfits. From the shouting in the boys' room I figured they were having a Nerf gun war. I spotted Chad sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hey, beautiful." he said, putting his arm around me as I sat down next to him.
"Hey… What are you watching?"
Before he could answer, I saw none other than the Tween Weekly Logo flash onto the screen.
"This Tween Weekly News with a special announcement! Are Little Miss Sonshine and Hollywood's Bad Boy dating?"
Then a picture of the kiss Chad and I shared the day before replaced it.
"Find out tomorrow on Regis & Kelly at 9 AM!"
I looked at Chad questioningly.
"Mr. Condor called while you were in the shower. He scheduled an interview with Regis & Kelly just for us tomorrow. We're supposed to talk about our relationship…" he said quietly.
All I could say spit out was, "Oh…"
Then he mumbled something almost inaudibly.
"What was that?"
"I said, he wants us to keep it a secret because it would ruin my image." he said, not looking me in the eyes.
"Do you want to?"
"I honestly don't know." he said, even though I knew what he wanted.
I just sighed and closed my eyes.
"…Sonny? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine… Just weighing the options. If we do admit it, all the guilt is gone and we can go on real dates. If we don't, we keep sneaking around. If we do, the paparazzi will hound us more than normal. If we don't, we'll only have to deal with the normal amount of cameras. If we do, our fans will be happy for us. If we don't, they'll be suspicious of us. And if they found out that we lied, they'll be hurt… And that's the last thing we want to do."
"Sounds like there's more good outcomes from just coming out with it."
I thought for a few more minute before saying, "Chad?"
He looked at me and asked, "Yes, Sonshine?"
"I need some time to think about it…" I lied, knowing exactly what to do. I desperately wanted to get rid of the guilt weighing down on me.
"Take as much time as you need. But we need to figure it out before the interview tomorrow."
"I know… The rain's letting up a little. Do you mind if we go look for a music store nearby? I need to play some sort of instrument. It helps me think."
"Sure, Sonny. Let's go." he said, helping me up. We grabbed our jackets and headed for the nearest music store.
As soon as we walked in, I spotted a black electric guitar and went directly towards it.
I picked it up and turned on the amp. I thought about what song to play. Then I picked a perfect song that described our relationship and began playing.
Forever is a long time, I'm not gonna lie
Is that a promise you can make?
Are we in the right place at the wrong time?
Right now I really need some space
Together on the front line
Look me in the eye and tell it straight to my face
Are we gonna work it out or pack it in?
I guess this is the chance we take
'Cause you are the only one that gets me
Knows me, feels me, hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough to drive me crazy
Frustrate me, complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do and the things that you say
Make me wanna stay
Everything is alright some of the time
Are we going through a phase?
Are we moving too fast, going too slow?
Am I just afraid to make mistakes?
I wanna keep it real now and don't make a sound
I wanna see it in your eyes
Are we gonna shake it up or knock it down?
But deep inside I know that we'll survive
'Cause you are the only one that gets me
Knows me, feels me, hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough to drive me crazy
Frustrate me, complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do and the things that you say
Make me wanna stay
Through the ups and downs I do
I just wanna be with you
We're through
'Cause you are the only one that gets me
Knows me, feels me, hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough to drive me crazy
'Cause you are the only one that gets me
Knows me, feels me, hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough to drive me crazy
Frustrate me, complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do and the things that you say
Make me wanna stay
But the things that you do and the things that you say
Make me wanna stay…
I'd drawn a fairly large crowd by the end of the song. I smiled and thanked them all before walking out of the store with Chad.
"What did you mean by that song, Sonny?" he asked.
"Chad, I know what I want to do... But it will only work if you agree." I said quietly.
"I don't know if I can do it Sonny…"
"I don't know if I can handle lying to everyone."
"It takes years of practice."
"Maybe I don't want to practice lying so much that it's natural! Maybe I want to just let everything out!" I said, almost yelling.
"Sonny, in Hollywood, you say one thing wrong, and the paparazzi will turn it into something ugly!" he frowned, trying to keep his voice low.
"Fine. Do what you want at the interview tomorrow. I'll just go along with whatever you decide to do. Just know this, if you deny 'us', there won't even be an 'us'." I said, walking into the hotel lobby just before it started to pour again, leaving Chad speechless in the rain.
A/N: Don't kill me! I promise the ending will be awesome. Sorta. Maybe. I don't know. YOU'LL SEEEEEEE. Review please? :D
