I couldn't sleep. Only 10 hours ago, Sterling told me he really liked me. Only 10 hours ago, Chad looked at me like he still loved me. Only 10 hours ago, I told Sterling I really liked him in front of the guy I love, I mean, used to love.
I got out of bed and headed downstairs. Chad was down the making breakfast, and I didn't want any awkwardness, so I tip-toed back upstairs.
"Sonny?"
Or tried. I sighed and headed back to the kitchen.
"Hey, Chad."
"Want some pancakes?"
"Sure."
"Chocolate, right? You used to love chocolate pancakes."
I sat down at the table with my chocolate pancakes and Chad sat across from me.
"How have you-"
"Chad tell me the truth. Why did you cheat on me?" I said, tears threatening to break through.
"Sonny, I did-"
"Good Morning, Sonny!" Sterling swept in and kissed my cheek. "Morning Chad."
Chad stayed silent as he stared at me.
"Morning Sterling." I said brightly. "You think you could drive me home now?"
"Sure, babe. Let's go." Sterling grabbed my hand and took me to his car.
Chad's POV
I stared at Sonny's chocolate pancakes, left untouched.
Like me, I thought.
Sterling's POV
"Sonny, why was Chad staring at you like that?" I asked.
We were in the car in front of Sonny's house.
"Like what, Sterling?" Sonny used her innocent voice. She is so cute.
"Like, I don't know, you guys had a past or something?"
"Oh. That. Well I guess you should know the truth," Sonny said. What's going on? "You see, Sterling, three years before I met you, I secretly dated Chad. It was secret because we didn't want our casts to know. I guess that's why he didn't tell you."
Whoa. Sonny and Chad? But Sonny was all cute and adorable and Chad was a player! He must have broken Sonny's heart. But the way he looked at her...
"Did you love him, Sonny?" I asked, gripping the steering wheel.
She hesitated before answering. "Yes."
"Do you still love him?"
No answer. I look over at Sonny, who seems to be having a difficulty for words. I couldn't take this. My soon-to-be wife used to, and may right now, love my twin brother. I opened the car door and walked out towards the foresty area in front of Sonny's house.
Without looking back at her, I said, through clenched teeth, "I'm going for a walk. I will be right back."
I walked right into the forest and strolled around trying to get a grip on things. She loved my little brother, not me. I'm. Her fiancé but she didn't-
Suddenly a hand wrapped around my mouth and something hit me in the head.
Everything went black.
