I DO NOT own sonny with a chance or any of the characters or the movie starstruck!!!!!
I decided to try writing this one from Chad's POV. It's not my writing style but I'm sure it'll turn out……fine…..
Sticks and Stones
"Sonny," I said holding her hands in mine, "I didn't tell you because…… because I wanted to protect you." Sonny looked like she wanted to be anywhere in the world but here. I could feel her pulse race the way I held her hand. She either knew what was coming, or thought I was going to say something absolutely unrelated to what I had to tell her. Personally, if we were in the same exact situation, but with the roles reversed, the next words I would expect to hear are "I'm pregnant" so I could understand why she was so freaked out.
"Sonny, I don't know if you knew, but your mom and my mom are good friends. They hang out a lot, and I've met your mom. I kind of like her (Sonny smiled nervously at that) she's kind of like a second mom to me because I never really see my mom unless she's hanging out with Connie, so I see your mom as much as mine," Chad said. He was holding on to Sonny's hands more to support himself then to comfort Sonny right now.
"Sonny, you-your mom was in a car accident. A bad one." Before I could see her shining face, her running make-up, her red puffy eyes, or hear her short gasps for air, I knew she thought the worst might happen. I pulled her into a hug and kissed her on the forehead, trying to comfort her in any way I could.
"Sonny, I… I've got some more bad news," I said while I still had the courage. See, normally I, T.V's Chad Dylan Cooper A.K.A the greatest actor of our generation, wouldn't be bothered by hurting someone's feelings, but Sonny… Well, Sonny makes me go all… soft and… (As much as I hate to say it) lovey-dovey. Yeah, I know, "Lovey-dovey" isn't something you would expect me to say, but… It's how Sonny makes me feel… Anyway:
"M-m-m-more?" Sonny looked up at me with her puffy deep brown eyes. Over Sonny's shoulder I could see Riley peeking in. She's too nosy, that girl. Back for one day and she already needs to butt in to everyone's personal life, mostly mine.
"Riley told my parents," I said looking directly at Riley in the angriest way I could, "and they're not happy." I looked at Sonny, who was silent except for an occasional sob or sniffle.
"It's not that bad, they just… Well, they basically hired Riley as our babysitter," I said. Sonny giggled her adorable giggle. Her laugh reminded me that Sonny, the real bubbly happy-go-lucky Sonny, was still there under the tears. "I told them you didn't have anywhere else to stay and they understood, but if Riley feels we're acting "inappropriately" then I get kicked out of the house. So now Riley has gotten exactly what she wanted: the capability to spy on us without the possibility of getting in trouble," I said, trying to emphasize that I was not happy about this in the way I looked at Riley. She stuck her tongue out in a very childish way. Hard to believe she's one year older than me, right?
"Sonny, the thing is your mom won't be getting out of the hospital for a while, a couple weeks maybe or even a month. I- Oh! I forgot to tell you: I got the part in the movie! Oh, so like I was saying, I'll be leaving Friday to go shoot the movie. Even though it's supposed to take place in Hollywood, the director thought it would be fun to shoot most of the scenes in the Caribbean. Don't ask why. We don't know. We think it was their let down honeymoon to Philadelphia to see the zoo. Riley already said, 'I'm not babysitting your girlfriend for a month, Chad!' so you staying here is out of the question. I was wondering if you would… maybe… like to come with me to shoot the movie?" I saw hope in the deep, dark, bleak, brown orbs she called eyes for the first time in what felt like days. She knew she had something if not everything she needs still.
"Yeah, that would be great, Chad," she said with the cutest attempt at a smile on her face. Ugh! Listen to me! I'm going all sappy! Anyway, the day this happened was the Sunday before I- I mean we left for the Caribbean. The next couple of days went by uneventfully, since we started counting Riley casually walking in the room and saying, 'oops, am I interrupting something?' every time we were about to kiss as part of our average day together. Well, I'm getting ahead of myself, let's go back to the first Monday at work when me and Sonny were officially a couple… but not in front of her cast mates of course, they will- I mean would kill her for dating the enemy…
Chad's POV was actually funnier than no one's POV. Who would have thought "Chad" and "funny" would be in the same sentence? Reviews Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
