All Sonny could do was stand there and gape at him. "How did you know?"
"Chad tends to get a little rough when he's drunk. But I have to say, I have never seen him leave so many bruises." Skyler said, rolling up Sonny's other sleeve to see even more.
"Oh, well, I don't know. Maybe you never really had seen them up close." Sonny said, trying to walk only to only to be stopped by Skyler.
"Let me go!" Sonny said, shoving Skyler into the wall so hard he fell on the floor.
"What the hell? I try to help you and this is how I get repaid." he said, pulling himself off of the floor.
"Skyler, I am so sorry. I really don't know what ever came over me."
"What did Chad do to you?" Skyler said, and was surprised when Sonny busted out in tears.
"I-I can't even say it."
"Sonny, did he do anything bad to you?"
Sonny couldn't do anything but shake her head.
"Sonny, please! I am just trying to help."
"No, just go! I don't need anyone's help. Just leave me alone."
"Sonny."
"Go!" Sonny said, throwing on of Tawni's pocket mirrors at him. It hit the wall and shattered.
Skyler ran out of the dressing room and could hear Sonny sobbing on the other side of the closed door. There was only one other person that could tell him what was going on. And that was Chad Dylan Cooper.
Skyler found Chad in his dressing room reading one of the new scripts.
"Chad, I really need to talk to you."
"What do you want, Skyler?" Chad said, not even taking the time to look at him.
"What happened last night with Sonny?"
"I don't think that is really any of your business."
"I think it is. Seeing that Sonny is now covered in bruises and is crying her eyes out in her dressing room right now."
"What? How do you know that?" Chad said, finally putting is script away.
"I just left her, after she tried to kill me with one of Tawni's mirrors."
"What were you doing in her dressing room, Skyler?" Chad said, standing up. And for the first time since they started working together, Skyler noticed just how much taller Chad was than him.
"I ran into her in the hallway and she was crying. So I was just making sure that she was all right. When I pulled up the sleeve of her shirt, I found she had bruises on both of her arms."
"So, that makes it all right for you to touch my girl."
"Your girl! She seems to be terrified of anyone to touch her. I just touched her arm and she slammed me into a wall."
"Maybe she just didn't want you to touch her." Chad said, standing a few inches away from Skyler.
"No, I think that you did something to her last night when you were drunk and for some reason she wouldn't tell me." Skyler didn't get another word in because Chad had slugged him in the face.
"I fucking love, Sonny Munroe! So why in the hell would I do something to hurt her!" Chad yelled. By now there was a crowd forming at Chad's doorway.
"Because you do this every time you get drunk though. You just don't know it because either Ferguson or I am there. But last night neither of us stopped you. So, seeing as you don't remember, Sonny is the only one that really knows what happened."
"What the hell! What do you mean I have done this before?"
"Chad every time you have too much to drink you all ways tries and gets some girl to go home with you. And when they say no, you try and drag them off."
"What? I didn't do that with Sonny did I?" Chad said, sitting down on the couch.
"I don't know. She wouldn't say. But it must have been something bad. Because when I asked she burst out in tears. Where are you going?"
"To talk to Sonny. I really need to know what happened. And to see if she will forgive me for whatever I did." Chad said, leaving Skyler alone in his dressing room.
