Enjoy...
Sonny's POV
"Why do you think he wants to see us?" Alex asked me as Chad's cast and my cast and stood outside of Mr. Condor's office. I shrugged, "I don't know."
"Maybe you're getting fired already." Chad remarked smugly to Alex.
Alex's jaw twitched at Chad's comment, "Sonny, please keep your…" he swallowed, "boyfriend," he spat, "quiet."
I turned to Chad and pleaded with my eyes for him to stop annoying Alex. He stared straight back at me, unwilling to let me win.
Suddenly, he groaned loudly, "Ugh, your brown eyes make me go douchey. You can't do that to me, it's not fair." He whined as I smiled triumphantly.
He grinned at my expression and hugged me to his chest and put his lips to my ear, "I swear, I will get you back later." Whispering softly, he kissed my neck.
After a chorus of "Ew, gross!" and "I'm going to be sick!" off our cast mates, we pulled away, both grinning, with our hands interlocked together.
All the while we were waiting, Alex and Chad were glaring at each other, which was quite amusing.
"Mr. Condor will see you now." His assistant came out of his office, gesturing inside.

"Oh my god! I can't believe we're going to a 5 star hotel!" I screamed, jumping up and down as we all walked out of Mr. Condor's office, and the others walked away
looking proud of themselves.
Chad shrugged beside me, "Eh, I've had better." He replied, looking uninterested. I frowned in confusion, "You've had better than a 5 star hotel?" I asked.
He nodded as if it was no big deal, "Yeah, I went to this hotel in Barbados-"
He suddenly cut himself off, with an amused look on his face, "doesn't matter…" He said, shaking his head.
"Chad," I warned, "Why are you grinning like that?" I asked warily. He tried hard not to laugh, "No reason." He replied, coughing to hide his laugh.
"Tell me…Please?" I asked.
My tone of voice must have sounded miserable because he turned to face me, all the hint of amusement gone of his face,"Trust me, it's nothing to worry about."
"Then why won't you tell me?" I asked, feeling hurt because we're not supposed to have any secrets. No matter how small they are.
Ignoring me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wriggled out of it, "Tell me." I repeated, not letting it go.
Chad sighed, "Look, it's private, okay." He replied, looking annoyed.
"Fine," I said stubbornly, feeling a gush of frustration run through me, "But I thought you could trust me with anything." I whispered.
I then walked away to find somewhere to feel miserable.

I sat on the floor in the corridor, hoping no one would walk by because they'd think I was weird just randomly sat on the floor.
I heard footsteps and sighed as I tried to get up.
"Sonny?" Alex asked as he walked around the corner. I tried to smile at him but failed and sat back down again.
He frowned, "What's wrong?" He asked, sitting down beside me.
I sighed, "Chad…" I spoke miserably. Alex probably wasn't the best person to talk about Chad but he listened to me, no less.
"Well, I suppose if he says it's nothing to worry about, then it's nothing to worry about," He replied after listening to my explanation,
"Unless.." He paused, which intrigued me. "What?" I asked concerned by his answer.
"Well, unless… he was with a girl…" He answered. "You…you really think that?" I asked him quietly.
I felt him shrug, "I don't know, but it's likely. I mean, Chad has a reputation for girls. Even I know that."
I looked at the floor; he was right, Chad had a reputation with girls. No matter how fragile.
Suddenly, something hit me, "But… but he went to a hotel in Barbados a few months ago, before our first anniversary. Maybe…" My voice got choked up as a tear escaped.
Alex put my arm around me and I leant on his shoulder, "So that means that Chad was…maybe even still is…cheating on me..." I said sadly.
Wow, my day was not going well.
"But you don't have proof." Alex said comfortingly, stroking my arm.
Chad's POV
"Fine," Sonny replied, looking hurt, "But I thought you could trust me with anything." She spoke quietly and walked away from me, with a heartbreakingly un-Sonny-like expression.
"Sonny, wait. I mean it, you don't have to worry…" I trailed off as Sonny continued to walk away, ignoring me. I walked around to try and find her.
The first place I went to was her dressing room, as she's usually there when something's wrong. Or my dressing room. But I doubted highly that she was in there.
I knocked on the door and Tawni answered, "Come in." She called and I opened the door to find Tawni on her own. "Oh," Her face dropped, "Cooper, what a pleasant surprise."
"I ain't so happy to see your face every day either." I shot back. She sighed, "What do you want?" My eyebrows creased, "I can't find Sonny, you know where she is?"
She laughed, "Yeah. She was sat in the corridor looking miserable. God, I'd hate to see who had made her like that. She was sat on the floor. Ew."
I looked around awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with her and scratched the back of my neck, "Funny story… it was me." I confessed quietly.
She shook her head, obviously amused at me, "It's always you, Cooper."

As I was searching the corridors, abruptly, I heard Sonny's voice talking to someone as I rushed towards it, "What?" She asked, sounding genuinely interested.
I looked around the corner and saw them. Alex and Sonny, sat on the floor side by side. I decided to stay where I was and listen to their conversation.
"Well, unless… he was with a girl…" Alex said to Sonny, staring straight at her. "You…you really think that?" Sonny asked him, looking shattered inside.
He shrugged, "I don't know, but it's likely. I mean, Chad has a reputation for girls. Even I know that." I shook my head angrily. Sure I had a reputation. But I loved Sonny.
Her face dropped as she'd just thought of something terrible, "But… but he went to a hotel in Barbados a few months ago, just before our first anniversary. Maybe…"
Wait…did she think I was cheating on her? I would never dream of hurting Sonny after what happened back in…Wisconsin. A tear rolled down Sonny's cheek.
I wished I could wipe away all of her tears.
Alex snaked his arm around her shoulder, slipping down to her waist, pulling her towards him as she leant on his shoulder.
My blood boiled inside of me. He couldn't take Sonny away from me!
"So that means that Chad was…maybe even still is…cheating on me..." She whispered, her face showing pain.
"NO!" I wanted to shout out. Tell her that I loved her and only her. But then she'd know I was spying on her.
"But you don't have proof." Alex said, smiling evilly, as if he'd thought of a plan.
Ooh, so who likes the evil Alex? *Raises hand* ;)
What do you think his plans are? Please review and then I'll carry on writing. Simple... ;)
I love you.
