Author's Note: Sorry I couldn't update yesterday because I was at a Cody Simpson concert! :D Well anyways, this is more like a filler chapter, but there's still some twists into them. Hope you like it!
Chapter 6: Making Lines Straight
I am at the Patio with my cast mates/friends. We all stop at the front of the door, looking at the chaotic place. The place was so full of people; I bet half of them weren't even buying smoothies or even a small blueberry scone; they all were pushing toward the center of the room.
"What in the world!" exclaims Nico.
"It's my dream all over again!" Grady yells. "People were all zombies and were just standing around this place. And then, Mel was in danger and I…" he trails.
"Grady, this is not your dream," I say. "No one's is in danger other than the guy who is being bombarded with fans." I point where the chaos was at its highest.
Fans, mostly girls, push their way through the crowd, and I quickly see the face: it is Aaron. He didn't expect the fans to come, but he didn't reject any request for an autograph or a photo.
"Is that Aaron?" Tawni asks. "Oh my gosh, that poor thing; being pulled by the filthy hands of his ugly fans."
I sneak a glance at Zora, and simultaneously, she glances at me. We read each others thought: How can Aaron have a crush on Tawni?
I mean no offense to Tawni, but she's definitely not the down-to-earth girl that can do ceramics and needle-point pillows (we learned that the hard way).
"Geeze, people! You guys can't stay here!" yells Mel at the fans. Unfortunately, not one of the fans took their eyes away from Aaron. So, she tries something different, "Hey! If all of you don't buy two items from the menu, I'm calling the cops!"
Suddenly, all the teenage and tween girls, and guys, rushed over to the cashier ordering their items. Unfortunately, there were only two cashiers taking orders from like a hundred people. Then, I see Mel sneak towards Aaron, leading him to the Employees Only room. I called over Grady, Nico, Zora and Tawni to follow me to that room.
So, we sneakily walked in, until…
"Sonny, we can't go in! It says 'Employees Only'!" Grady says.
"C'mon Grady! Before someone sees us!" I exclaim.
"For the name of pizza, come on man! What happens if Mel was stranded with zombies in that room?" Nico asks.
That got Grady. We walk in and see Aaron sitting on the chair as Mel fills his empty cup with coffee.
"Gosh, fans are crazy," I hear Aaron say with a sigh.
"No kidding," I reply with a small smile.
Mel and Aaron look up; surprise to find the five of us standing in the room.
"Hey guys!" greet Mel, so we return the welcoming.
"Wait, you guys know Mel, too?" ask Aaron.
"Yeah," I say. "She lives the apartment above me."
"She thinks Sonny is a horrible singer!" squeals Tawni, clapping her hands. "So that won me over!"
That remark made Aaron raise an eyebrow at Mel. Then, Mel explains, "No, I just thought Sonny wasn't a better singer than I am." I see Aaron rolling his eyes.
"I only know Mel because of Grady liking…" Nico begins, but then realizing what he is about to say, he continues with, "how she makes his smoothies. Yes, Grady kept jabbering how Mel made his smoothies good…real good." Nico then smiles, thinking he just saved his best friend.
"Smoothies?" Grady asks. "Really, Nico? Smoothies?" Mel giggles.
"What you got something bet—" Nico starts, but then Zora interrupts.
"Hi, I don't think we have met," says Zora, venom filling her tone. Cough, cough, jealous much? Zora pulls out her hand, "My name is—"
"Zora Lancaster!" Mel oddly squeals. Tawni, Nico, Grady, and I did a double take; did Mel seriously idolize a twelve year old? "Oh my, you're my favorite actress!"
Zora stutters because she didn't see this coming, "R-really?"
Aaron chuckles. "Don't be freaked out, but she has loved you ever since you came onto So Random!."
"Wait, how would you know that?" I ask with full of confusion.
"Oh, sorry, well, if you guys don't know, I'm Mel's younger cousin," Aaron says.
"Thank god!" exclaims Tawni. "I thought you two were dating! That would've been awkward because I like," then Tawni pauses, but I can tell Aaron was leaning forward eager to figure out who she likes. Unfortunately, Tawni says instead, "'Cuz I like think that Grady would've been torn into pieces."
"Tawni!" whines Grady, again. We all laugh, well besides Grady who is sulking right now with embarrassment.
Suddenly, a phone rings; it's Nico's phone. "Hehe, okay guys, hold up," he says has he takes out his phone from his back pocket. He stares at his screen, and his joy turns sullen. "Guys, you can go without me, I need to take this," he says as he eases his way to the exit of the room.
Nico suddenly leaving made things awkward, but it soon comes to an end as Zora cracks a joke. Then, we sit on foldable metal chairs and begin to bond with each other, sharing to each other what is in store for us in the future. I learn that Mel was actually trying to make it in the industry as a country singer. I learn that Aaron is actually going to film a new action flick after the guest star in So Random!. I learn that Tawni is actually starting the works for her new shoe line called Tawni Toes. I learn that Grady is actually beginning to read the actual Narnia books. So then, it was my turn to share to everyone else. "Um, well…I'm going to leave for Wisconsin after this week," I share.
"What?" they chorus together.
"You're leaving So Random!?" exclaims Tawni. "I never thought you would quit on us…I mean I kinda expected that from a Cooper or a Tyler, but not you!"
"Yeah, Sonny! Why are you leaving?" asks Grady.
"Is it because of Chad, Sonny?" ask Mel. "Because he's surely not something to quit your dream for!"
"Guys, don't panic!" I exclaim. "It was just going to be for vacation because I just needed a break from Chad. At first, I wanted to quit because I was having problems with Chad, and then I thought he was going to Australia for a movie, but then my mom talked me out of leaving Hollywood, so I thought having a vacation for the remainder of time that Chad was going to stay until he goes to Australia, but then he tells me he's not doing to the movie, so now I don't know what to do. Because when I leave for my vacation, it will give me a break from Chad, but when I come back here, I will torture myself because I'll be seeing Chad again—"
"Breathe, Sonny, breathe!" yells Zora. "You're turning blue!"
I stop talking and breathe.
"Now, Sonny, can you tell us what's wrong, slowly," replies Aaron.
I sigh, and started all over. "Well, you guys know how I broke up with Chad?" They nod, so I continue, "Well, I guess I couldn't handle that—"
"You got that right," mutters Mel, and Aaron gives Mel a dirty look, so Mel apologizes.
"And I actually got Chaditis."
"Chaditis?" asks Grady.
"Guys, shut up! Sonny is trying to speak!" Tawni says oddly considerate.
"Thanks Tawni," I say, and then I continued with my story. "So then, on the radio, I heard Chad was going to a movie in Australia, but I never actually let it continue, I turned it off, and I jumped into conclusions. So, I thought of leaving So Random! entirely, but then my mom talked me out of it, so I thought having a vacation will help me avoid from seeing Chad again, well until his movie was going to finish, so I asked Marshall if I could take a vacation. Unfortunately, he said I can't do that for this week because of the guest star, but now it's not going to work entirely because he's not actually doing a movie! So should I do the vacation that's going to start after this week? Or should I just live in the torture?" I finally finish.
Aaron rubs his chin. "Well, you're actually living through the torture all through this week, right?" I nod. "So I guess, you deserve the vacation," he explains.
Mel nods. "I think that's a good idea. It will give you some time to go back to your family in Wisconsin and then you won't think about Chad as much."
"So, two in favor with me going to Wisconsin?" I say. "How about you guys? Grady?"
"If that's what makes you better…"
"Zora?"
"You really do need to vacation…"
"Tawni?"
"Only if you're coming back," Tawni replies with authority.
"So, it's settled, I am going to Wisconsin after this week and be Chad-free?" I ask.
They all nod.
"Okay, I'm going to Wisconsin next week," I reply with a shrug. Suddenly, I hear a gasp and a swiftness of closing the door. I strut my way to the exit and see who had just did that, but the person was long gone.
Author's Note: Okay, try to guess who that person was. O_o Well, thanks for taking the time to read this. Oh, and please review! It makes me happy. :D - Quite the Imagination
