Who wants drama? I do! Well, here it is for you, imaginary voice in my head, and for you readers too ;)

Chapter 18-Moving On

Sonny's POV

I come down the stairs, shaken, to see Tawni looking at me sadly.

"How'd he take it?" She asks, and I gulp.

"I didn't exactly tell him." I say, and she scoffs.

"Sonny, you can't just keep it from him!" She says, "He's a total Drama King, and if you keep it from him he'll just be more upset."

Tawni seems to forget that she's a Drama Queen, but I don't say that. I just sigh and sit on the couch, while Abby totters around in a little Fairy outfit Tawni found, casting spells on her toys.

"I'll find some way to tell him," I say, "Just…not now. When he's used to the news about his Dad."

"I doubt that idea." Tawni says, and I sigh.

"Tawni, he nearly died," I say, "His estranged Dad that he doesn't even want to see is coming home after a whole 7 months of being on a business trip. I don't think telling him I might be moving across the country is exactly gonna lighten his mood."

"So, when's his Dad coming?" Tawni asks, and I shrug.

"No idea." I say, "But I hope he's gonna get a warm welcome."

Josh comes down the stairs and that moment, still looking a little angry.

"Hey, Josh," I smile, "You OK?"

He nods, but it's pretty fake, and I feel bad as he wanders over to the other couch and lies on it, sighing and looking up at the ceiling, mumbling stuff that I can't quite make out.

Chad suddenly comes downstairs, looking down at his ringing phone.

"It's Dad," He says, "What do I do?"

"Answer it!" I tell him, and he answers, confused-looking.

"Ooh! Put it on speaker!" Tawni says, and he does so. I stare at Tawni, who shrugs. "What? I like drama!"

"Shhh." I whisper, before focusing my attention on Chad.

"Dad?" He asks, and a man answers happily.

"Hey, Chad," He says, "I wanted to see if you were still OK with me coming?"

"No!" Josh yells, but Chad convinces his Dad it was nothing, and I tell Josh to be quiet.

"Yeah, its fine, Dad." Chad says, and Josh groans, going up to the stairs and yelling something rude into the phone, slamming his bedroom door.

"Is everything OK there?" Chad's Dad asks, and he smiles awkwardly.

"Yeah, everything's fine." He covers, "I just…stubbed my toe. Yeah, that's it."

Suddenly, another voice is heard over the speaker, a female voice.

"Is everything OK?" The woman asks, and I see Chad's face fall.

"Dad?" He stutters, "Who's that?"

"It's no-one…" The Dad answers, but we all know it's a lie when the same female voice, this time sounding a little drunk, yells something into the phone on the other side.

"I'll ask you again," Chad says, "Who. Is. That?"

"It's a friend." He tells him weakly, but the moment the woman yells "girlfriend" into the phone, I see Chad suddenly get all tense.

"Girl. Friend?" He asks, "You've…replaced my Mom?"

"Chad, you don't understand…"

"Oh, I understand perfectly." Chad scowls, "You just decided to leave me alone with Josh and Abby, met a girl, and decided she was better than my Mom."

"I fell in love." The Dad says, but Chad won't take that.

"I'm sure you did." He says, "You moved on pretty quick, didn't you? When did you meet this girl? A week after? A month, maybe?"

His Dad seems speechless, and he hangs up the phone, torn.

I don't know what to say, and "I'm sorry" doesn't seem to cover it.

"Chad, I…"

I see the tears brim over in his eyes, and he runs upstairs, totally torn apart.

I don't know what to say as Abby starts to cry and the air becomes thin, and I look to Tawni, who seems just as confused and worried. I'm so upset for Chad, I almost forget that I'm going back to Wisconsin in a few weeks.

:O I feel SO mean!

Lol, please review if you want the mood to lift a little, wait, I can't make that happen...
