Sonny and Chad felt the fresh spring breeze. New York bustled around them. They both wore hats and sunglasses in order to conceal their faces from the public. Chad hailed a cab and politely opened the door for Sonny to get in. They took their sunglasses off and while the taxi driver clearly recognized them, they didn't care. Sonny sat nervously and glanced out the window in fear of what would happen. Chad took her hand and smiled reassuringly.
"You can do this Sonny." He said. Sonny grinned a little.
"I know, but can you? I mean you were kinda freaking out on the plane." She said with a laugh.
"Please CDC does not freak out." Chad said. The cocky tone in his voice made Sonny smile brightly. It reminded her of the less complicated times when all she had to deal with was Chad complaining about how unfunny her show was. That was before Nick, and before she lost her best friend. Sonny smiled though. She had decided it was time to look on the bright side of things. She really just wanted to change from this cruel person to who she had been a year ago.
"Sonshine we're here!" Chad said softly. Sonny nodded and grabbed her bags. They stood in front of the studio. Sonny was glad Chad had taken her to the studio right away. They walked slowly and cautiously to the front doors of the studio. They walked in and saw a pretty blond waiting for them a soft smile on her lips.
"Hi," She said quietly. Sonny couldn't stop herself. She ran and hugged Tawni tightly, who responded.
"Oh Tawni I'm so sorry!" Sonny said.
"I know and I forgive you." Tawni said in her usual bored tone, but the grin on her face betrayed her. Chad gave her a quick hug and stepped back taking Sonny's hand. They both noticed how Tawni didn't wince or roll her eyes at them. She smiled as if she was genuinely happy.
"Where are they?" Sonny asked.
"At Lunch, but I figured we can wait for them. Sonny, Marcus is here though if you want to apologize." Tawni said. Sonny took a deep breath and nodded. She freed her hand and walked down the familiar hallways to the director's office. Sonny tried to gain as much of her confidence as she could. She had to do the right thing. She slowly approached the door and knocked. The door opened a few minutes later.
"Hello Sonny,"
"I'm glad you called me." Tawni said to Chad.
"Really because we haven't always been friend," Chad said unbelieving. Tawni laughed bitterly at that.
"Chad, we've never been friends. I mean we dated, but we never talked or anything. You were just one of my silly youth fascinations." Tawni said maturely and it surprised Chad. He had never thought about it before, but he didn't know that much about Tawni.
"I'm sorry Tawni," Chad said seriously. She looked at him with a smile.
"You shouldn't be sorry; I mean I don't hate you for it." She said.
"No, but you hate Miley." Chad said.
"And so do you! Chad I didn't answer the phone because I thought maybe you wanted me again. I answered because I knew it had something to do with Sonny. I mean even though I still hate what she did with you, I know what you guys have is true love!" Tawni finished dramatically.
"That was really nice of you Tawni." Chad said and hugged her.
"Don't. Ever. Hug. Me. Again." She said, but grinned before walking away from him. Tawni walked back to set leaving a stunned Chad behind. She liked Chad, but all she ever saw in him was his looks and fame. She wondered how sonny could deal with him. Tawni smiled to herself though. She and Nick had been getting along nicely. They were both in a silent mourn over Sonny. They ate meals together and hung out. They never really talked, but that was ok with Tawni. She felt as if she knew Nick more the she would ever know Chad. Tawni hoped Nick was back from lunch with his brothers. She wanted to take him to Sonny herself. She really wanted it to work out between them. She shook her head slightly.
"When did I become so crazy?" Tawni asked herself.
"Since birth," A sarcastic female voice answered. Tawni looked up and held an expression of distaste and disgust.
"Hello Selena." Tawni said in her high pitched fake voice.
"Hey Tawns!" She said and fake smiled. Tawni rolled her eyes. Selena was really getting on her nerves. Tawni hated how everyone thought Selena was so nice, when if you spent the day with her, you would know she is not. Selena was also trying to get time with Nick. Everyone thought she was going for Chad, but she changed her mind. Tawni took a deep breath and glared coldly at the girl before. Tawni had always thought of herself as a woman and compared to Selena she was. Tawni scoffed at the girl.
"You should know that Sonny is here and she's gonna kick your ass." Tawni said and walked away.
Sonny felt like she was on cloud nine, well more like could seven. She still had things to take care of, but a simple apology had fixed many things. Sonny walked out of Marcus' office with a clean slate and her job back. She wondered whether he wanted her back or he was just on a tight schedule. She had noticed him move his coffee cup away from her as she entered his office. Sonny just felt happy she was no longer a diva. She took a deep breath and began her journey to find Nick. She saw a familiar blonde in the hallway standing by alone.
"Chad?" She asked. He turned towards her and put his arm around her shoulder. She leaned her head down on his.
"Did you get your job back?" He asked curious. Chad wouldn't ever tell Sonny, but he kinda wanted his too. On the falls he was always saving people, but in this movie he got to play the bad guy. This to him was fun. He knew if Sonny got her job then he could get him. She was his small glimmer of hope that he could be on the movie again. Not that he wouldn't watch from the sidelines, but it was fun to participate. He also had never told anyone about home much he loved his job. Acting was something that was always there for him. Now he had Sonny, but he still depended on acting. When he was just a fool in love with her, he would act like jerk, just to talk to her. Now he had her.
"Chad? Did you hear what I said? We're both back in!" Sonny yelled. Chad kissed her and smiled. He would have to tell Sonny about his love of acting one day and his love of her.
"That's great Sonshine! I can't wait!" He said with a grin. She beamed up at him.
"I know! Anyway we have to find Nick!" She said.
"Yes, let's go, but just to warn you Tawni texted me and Selena is around." He warned her.
"We can handle her." Sonny said.
"Well you have to because Tawni also told her you were gonna kick her ass." Chad said. Sonny rolled her eyes, but kept walking. She unsuccessfully tried to hide the bright smile that twitching at the corners of her lips. Chad smiled with her and led her down the hall.
