Tawni received an advanced copy of Wrong Turn Into Yesterday from the record company. Chad had put her on the list of people to get it. She was excited to hear it. The first single would be playing on the radio today, but Tawni wanted to hear the whole album.

Tawni felt a swelling of pride when she saw the cover. It was just a year ago when Tawni had convinced Chad to rewrite "Where Have All the Good People Gone." They were just starting their romantic relationship. It took a lot to convince of it. Tawni knew it would be a great song, but it hurt Chad thinking about it.

After all, he wrote that song as a duet for him and Sonny, but things took a bad turn when Sonny was on the road and Chad was struggling with his acting career. After their break up, Chad fell apart for a little while.

Nico and Grady had been the first to pull him away from his isolation. They took him out the bar and the clubs. It didn't do much for Chad, but it at least got him out of the house. It turns out he had a lot more in common with Tawni than either of them thought. As a result, their friendship grew into something more.

Tawni put the CD on. The first song she turned on was "Just the Way You Are." She always loved that song and knew that Chad put on the CD for her. That was the surprise he was talking about. She loved that song, thinking that no matter what, she didn't have to change herself to be loved.

For a long time, she did think that. She thought she always had to be pretty. She always had to be funny. She thought that boys didn't want a smart girl and so she acted dumb. When she listened to this song, Tawni knew that there would be someone who loved her as she was.

She loved the way Chad played piano on that song. She thought back to the first time he played it for her. Tawni was feeling down and walked into the piano bar that Chad was working at. It felt like he was singing it to her. Looking back on it, Tawni knew she wanted Sonny's boyfriend and luck had been kind to her. She wouldn't have stolen Chad away. She didn't want to hurt Sonny.

After listening to that, Tawni listened to the rest of the album. It was pretty rocking, she had to admit. Chad had come a long way on guitar. It sounded great. It would be a great album. All the songs were tight and crisp.

Then the last song came on. It was the only other ballad on the album. She listened to the lyrics. It didn't sound that familiar to her. After hearing it, Tawni wanted to cry.

Chad came back to his house and saw Tawni, sitting alone eating dinner.

"Hey Tawni," Chad said. "What's going on?"

"Nothing," she replied, rather sadly as Chad placed a kiss on her cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"This."

"What do you mean?" Chad asked. "This?" He pointed around the room, trying to figure it out.

"No, this," Tawni pointed back and forth between them.

"What's wrong with us?"

"I hate to do this, but it's over, Chad."

"What are you talking about?"

"You're still in love with Sonny."

"What? No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are. You put it on your CD."

"I didn't put anything on my CD for Sonny. I put a song on for you."

"I know and that was a conscious decision. You wrote a song for Sonny."

"No, I didn't."

"What's even worse is that you don't even know it?"

"You're not making any sense. I'm in trouble for something I didn't know I did."

"Chad, you put a cover song on your CD because you knew I would want that. You thought with your head. You wrote a song about Sonny and you didn't know that. You acted with your heart. That's how I know you love Sonny."

"I love you. I want to be with you."

"If you look in your heart, you know that's not true. I want your whole heart, not pieces of you. Sonny will always be your number one. I'm not going to be someone's second choice. I deserve to be someone's first and only."

"You're not really leaving, are you?"

"Yes, I am."

"That's how you're going to end this?" Chad was completely shocked.

"Just listen to your song, you'll understand."

Tawni got up and gave Chad a kiss on the cheek.

"I will miss you Chad Dylan Cooper. I won't forget the good times we had together."

Tawni started to leave, but Chad grabbed her arm and turned her around. Tawni looked back at Chad. It looked like he could cry.

"Please, don't end it like this."

Hearing Chad talk like that broke Tawni's heart.

"It's for the best, trust me."

Tawni kept up her brave face until she left Chad's house and got into her car. Once in, she immediately began to cry. She didn't want to end it like this either.
