Hey, hey! So you were all quite confused by Alex's evil smile at the end of the last chapter?

Yeah? You're gonna be even more confused after reading this.

Anyway, read on, I will see you at the bottom...

I decided to confront Chad and ask him if anything had happened in Barbados with another girl. I still trusted Chad, and Alex's chat helped me.

I grabbed my purse off my dresser when there was a knock at my door and I opened it to find a beautiful but confused blonde, "Hi, can I help you?" I asked helpfully.

She frowned, "Yeah, um, I'm looking for…" She paused to look at a piece of paper, "Chad Dylan Cooper? I can't seem to find him." She replied with a vague foreign accent.

I smiled, "Yeah, I know him pretty well, so maybe it's something I can help with?"

She smiled back gratefully, "Thanks. So, I met him a few months ago and he left me his number and address and stuff. And I have something of his."

My face fell a little. Chad met a girl and he gave her his address and number. When we were going out. No big deal. Right?

"Okay, well I can give it to him if you want? Oh, and where did you guys meet?" I asked, trying to keep my voice sound calm and friendly.

Her face puckered as she thought, "Great, thanks! Um, and it was in a hotel I was in for a while. In Barbados… I think? Anyway, that's not important.."

My heart stopped. Barbados? Hotel? No… This was proof that he was cheating on me.

Unless maybe she was just working at the hotel or something and she had something of his?

I coughed to get my voice sound normal, "Okay. What do you need to give him?" I asked her with a bitter-sweet smile.

She grinned like she was embarrassed and pulled something out of her bag and handed it to me, "The things you do when you get carried away, right?" She said and laughed.

I smiled, feeling confused as I had no idea what she had just handed me or what she was talking about, "Yeah..."

"Okay, well thanks for giving it to him. I'll be off then." She replied and started to walk away. "Wait, what's your name?" I asked suddenly.

She beamed brightly, "Kaylee. Anyway, I gotta go, I'll be late for my plane." "Okay, bye." I replied and watched her walk away.

When she was gone I looked at the object she'd handed me. It was a belt. That's what she was talking about, getting carried away.

They…they slept together.

I banged on Chad's dressing room door, tears of frustration and pain running down my face.

He yanked the door open looking annoyed at my constant banging but his expression changed as soon as he saw my face,

"Sonny, what's wrong?" He asked, pulling me inside.

"How could you?" I screamed at him, throwing his belt on the floor while he stared at me looking bewildered.

"What do you mean, Sonny? Calm down." He replied, laying a hand on my shoulder.

"No!" I shouted, stepping away from him, "You're a cheater!"

He shook his head, "Sonny, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, just…sit down. Please?" He replied utterly confused.

I snatched the belt off the floor, "Is this your belt?" I asked him. He nodded. "And do you know someone called Kaylee? She's blonde, foreign and beautiful.."

He nodded again reluctantly, after thinking for a moment, "Sonny, what has this got to do with-"

I collapsed onto his couch, "How could you?" I whispered again, the tears falling more violently. He knelt beside me, "What, Sonny? Tell me what.."

"You cheated on me. You slept with another girl while you in Barbados. That's your personal secret." I spat at him.

He frowned, "No. I didn't. I love you, Sonny." He replied, trying to hold my hand. I pulled my hand away swiftly, "Get off me." I spoke and walked towards the door.

"Sonny, I promise, I haven't cheated on you. I would never even dream of doing it. I love you." He told me.

"I'm sorry, Chad. But I don't believe you." I answered and walked away from him.

I cried in my dressing room, thinking of how Chad had gone behind my back and I was so stupid I didn't even know. I needed someone to talk to. But who?

Tawni would only say I told you so, and Chad was obviously a no go option. Those were the two people I usually spoke to if I had something wrong. Unless…Alex?

I pulled my phone out of my pocket, feeling thankful of Alex for when he gave me his number earlier and rang his number.

He answered on the first ring, "Hi Sonny." He said happily. Almost happy enough to make me feel a little better.

"Um, please could you come over to my dressing room. I need someone to talk to." I stuttered, my breath hiccupping every so often because of my crying.

"Sure, I'll be right there. Don't worry." He replied, and sounded as though he was jogging. "Thanks." I answered as we both said goodbye and ended the phone call.

I pulled the door open quickly as I heard a knock and Alex walked in looking confused, "What's wrong Sonny? Have you been crying?" He asked, stroking my cheek.

I recoiled at his touch which showed rejection clearly on his face, "I'm sorry." I replied, looking down at the floor.

He composed himself, "It's okay, I understand; you don't want Chad to get jealous." He spoke, leading me to sit on the sofa.

I shook my head, "Nope. I'm definitely not worried about that..." I whispered as he sat down next to me. "Well, then what?" He wanted to know.

I took a deep breath before answering him, "Chad was cheating on me. He slept with another girl in Barbados."

"Oh, Sonny," he said, hugging me, "you deserve someone better than him." Suddenly he pulled away, looking guilty, "Sorry." He spoke.

I tilted my head slightly out of confusion, "What for?" I asked. "For hugging you like that." He said simply.

I shrugged, "I didn't say I didn't like it. In fact, it kind of made me feel better… I could use a hug."

He smiled and pulled me in again and I felt his warm breath on my hair.

I wrapped my arms around him and put my head on his chest and closed my eyes, trying to stop myself crying.
