Thanks for all the reviews, they mean so much too me. This is the last chapter now. Enjoy (:
Sonny's POV.
"Girls, lovely of you to join us… Hope I didn't interrupt anything." He said, a sick edge in his voice.
"Erm… no, you didn't interrupt anything, what, erm, what did you want?" Alex asked.
"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to know what the hell it was that I saw about an hour ago on the Ellen DeGeneres show." He said, anger rising in his voice, and his face slowly turning a light shade of red, I gripped Alex's Hand tighter, as if I was scared he would hit me or something, I knew he couldn't, but I was still scared he would.
"Erm, well, she had 5 guests today, Britney Spears, Miley Stewart, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and me & Sonny, You saw her talking to the five of us, and asking questions about…" She was Cut off by me subtly treading on her foot, I had told her that You don't EVER use sarcasm around Mr Condor.
"Yes, I know that, so when she asked if either of You two were currently dating anyone, what was your answer?" he asked in a oh-too-fake sweet voice, I looked down to the floor, and Alex didn't answer him this time.
"We told her that us two are dating." I mumbled, but I was pretty sure he didn't hear me.
"What was that Alison? Speak up, 'cause I can't hear You." He shouted, and I wiped the spit off my forehead with the back of my hand. I knew he was really mad, because when he's mad, he uses our full names, hence 'Alison.'
"We… we told her that the two of us were dating... each other." I said quietly, but this time he heard me.
"Aah, the two of you are dating. You two, both of you girls, are dating, each other, Now, why on earth would you tell her that?" he asked, that fake sweet voice on again.
"Because we are dating." Alex said. Mr Condor turned to Marshal.
"Now, Mr. Pike, what are you going to do about these two dating? Because they sure as hell need straightening out. And parents of children wont be too happy with these two remaining on the show." He said, smiling sickly at Marshal, he looked down at his desk, and traced shapes on his paperwork.
"I… erm… it's your studio, your show, you're the one that makes the most money from all of this, so I guess you should decide." He said, and Mr Condor smiled even bigger, he turned back to us, and I loosened my still tight-as-hell grip on Alex's hand. She seemed glad that I had let her hand breath again.
"Right, well, The two of you, are fired, and neither of you will be able to work at any of my worldwide studios, You will have to go and work somewhere else, but I doubt any other studios will take in a couple of second-hand dykes." He said, and the word brought rage to me, I hated the word dyke. It just sounds so horrible, I don't understand why people have to be so mean about a girls sexuality, it's not like it's a choice, is it?
"Erm, Mr Condor, if I may, if You fire Sonny and Alex…" but Mr Condor cut him off.
"If? If? Have I not made it perfectly clear that they are fired?!" he yelled without even turning to Marshal, he was looking between me and Alex, probably to find out if it was some kind of joke.
"Okay, anyway, now that you have fired Sonny and Alex, you will lost the rest of the So Random cast I hope you know." He said, as Mr condor turned to him.
"Oh, and you know this how?" he asked, trying not to yell, his eyes were blood shot, probably from anger, and his skin was still purple, which was also probably from anger.
"Because when I fired them because of it, the others all quit in protest. I had too let them keep their jobs." He said, and this time, Mr Condor didn't try not to yell.
"YOU KNEW?! YOU FUNKING KNEW?! That's it. So Random is finished. This studio can run from the profits of Mackenzie falls. You will do your last show on Friday next week, and I want you out of my studio by this time next week." And the colour from Marshals face was immediately drained.
"What? You cant cancel my show, just because Sonny and Alex are gay!" he yelled as he stood up and leant on his desk, his face was inches away from Mr Condors, and it was like one of them scenes in a movie, where they're yelling right in their faces, but they hardly ever happen in real life. It was happening now though.
"I can do what I want. It's my studio." He said, and with that, he turned on his heal, walked towards the door, subtly trod on mine & Alex's toes, and slammed the door shut as he walked out.
"Marshal, I'm so sorry." I said quietly as I walked up to him and put my arm around him, Alex followed and went to his other side.
"Yeah, me too, if we hadn't decided to 'come out' on the fucking Ellen show, this wouldn't be happening, and we'd all still have jobs." She said, as the Colour slowly started to come back to Marshals face, he smiled weakly and put his hands over ours. He gently pulled our hands from around his shoulders, and spoke, in barely above a whisper.
"It's not your fault, it's who you are, and you just wanted people to know the truth. I don't blame you, either of you." He said as he looked in between both of us, we both smiled at him, then I smiled at Alex, who offered a weak and forced smile back.
"Anyway, can you two girls get the other 3, and bring them in here? We need to tell them the bad news." He said, and we both nodded, we walked down the hall and too the cafeteria, since that's the most likely place to find Nico and Grady. Once we got there, all three of them were in there, eating Frozen Yoghurt.
"Guys, we have some really bad news, you need to come down to Marshals office." I said quietly, they looked confused but followed us to Marshals room. Once we were in there, he broke the news to them, and the three of them, of course, were gutted.
As Marshal was still explaining everything that happened, Alex broke out into a huge, genuine smile, which didn't go un-noticed by everyone in the room.
"What are you smiling about?" I asked in a shaky voice, she just smiled bigger as she ran somewhere, and came back about two minutes later on the phone to someone.
"Okay, thanks, bye." She said as she pressed the end call button on her phone, we all looked at her, confused as hell I might add, waiting for some kind of explanation. She didn't make us wait much longer for one.
"Right, Sonny, tomorrow, you and me are on the Ellen show again, and tomorrow, we're gonna tell everyone about what happened with Mr Condor, and that So Random's getting cancelled, and then, although it wont save our show, people will know what a homophobic twat Mr Condor really is." She said, I couldn't help but smile as well. Sure, her plan wouldn't save our show, but like she said, it would uncover the pig hiding inside Mr Condor.
"And, today, we're welcoming back Sonny Munroe, and Alex Russo, who, yesterday revealed that their feelings towards each other were more than just friendly. What could they possibly want today? Lets find out. Please welcome back; Alex and Sonny." Said Ellen, and the crowd erupted into cheers as me and Alex walked in, our arms were around each others waists, as we went and sat on the couch we were on just yesterday.
"Hi again girls, how are things going with you two?" she asked cheerily.
"Actually, not so good, Ellen." I said.
"Care to explain why?" she asked kindly.
"Well, yesterday, when we got back to the studio, the man who owns the studio, Mr Condor, cancelled our entire show, because he said that us two being together was setting a bad example to kids." I explained, and suddenly, the crowd started chanting 'So Random rules, Mr Condor Drools.' And me and Alex couldn't help but laugh at them.
"Girls, that is awful. So not the two of you, and Marshal Pike, Nico, Grady and Zora, are all out of work?" she asked, with genuine concern in her voice.
"pretty much." Alex said, and Ellen gave us a sympathetic face. The rest of the 20 minutes was just filled with questions from the audience, and after that, we went back to the studio. Once we were back in my room, we sat on my bed.
"Sonny, what's gonna happen to us? I live back in New York, and you don't live anywhere, you have no where to go, and even when you do find somewhere, it will probably be miles away, I don't want to lose you." Alex said quietly, a few tears fell from my eyes as I realised that I would be losing Alex in less than a week. She put her arm around my shoulder, and pulled my head into her chest, the tears fell freely from my eyes, and I sobbed into her shoulder. I felt drops fall onto my head, I looked up to see my baby girl crying silently.
"It'll be okay Alex, I'll find somewhere in NY so that I'm near you, I wont let you go." I said, as she nodded.
"Or you could maybe… move in with me and my parents, I mean… you'd have to share a room with me, but we pretty much do that anyway here, I'd have to check with my mom and dad, but it should be fine." She said, and I sat up to look her in the eyes.
"Are you sure? I mean… I wouldn't expect to live there for free or anything, I could pay rent and pay towards food and stuff…" I said, and she nodded smiling at me.
The end of Fridays show came too quickly.
"Okay, thanks so much everybody, as you all know, that was our las… last…" I tried to say goodbye, since it was my turn, but I couldn't get through it, I broke down crying as I tried to say goodbye, Alex walked over too me and put her arm around my shoulders, she walked with me off the stage, and took me to our dressing room, which was completely empty, all that was in there was the cubicles we used to change in, the two pink couches, and 4 huge but empty wardrobes. It hurt to look around the room, because I knew it would be the last time.
"Sonny, baby, don't cry, we're gonna be living together, sharing a room and everything tomorrow, we'll get on that plane with our heads held high, and go back to NY. It'll all be okay, I swear." She said as she kissed the top of my head. We both fell asleep on the pink couch that night, our last night in the studio. At some point during the night, someone came in and threw a blanket over us, but I wasn't sure who.
Alex's POV.
In the morning, I woke up and Sonny was still asleep, she looked so peaceful. Her head was resting on my chest, and her make-up which had ran last night had dried up on her cheeks, but she still looked beautiful.
I lay and watched her sleep for what felt like hours, everything was moving in slow motion, her chest raised and fell, in a rhythm that was so perfect. I looked out of the slightly open door, and saw Zora walking past pulling a suitcase twice the size of her.
"Zora, chick, come in a minute." I said quietly so that I didn't wake the beautiful girl sleeping on top of me. Zora walked in and sat on the couch opposite us. She looked sad, she didn't look crazy like she normally did. Her hair was down, she hadn't bothered to do her normal random hairstyles, and she had no make-up on.
"What's up Alex?" she asked quietly.
"I just wanted to say goodbye. Thanks so much for an amazing time here at so random. It's been great. I really loved being here, and now the shows over, and it's all my fault. I'm so sorry Zora. Are you going back to live with your parents?" I asked, hoping to know that she'd be okay.
"Nah, they're both in prison for something they didn't do, but they aren't getting out any time soon, so I'm going to live back in my care-home. There's about 15 other kids that live there, and the people that work there are really nice. It's not so bad, but I'm gonna miss you guys." She said as she looked down at her hands in her lap.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Zora." I said quietly.
"It's not your fault. Mr Condors not a nice guy, he never was. He's a complete twat." She said, and I couldn't help but smile at her swearing, I had never heard he swear before, so it was kinda cute, like in a baby cute way.
"Zora, I feel so bad, it was my idea to come out on Ellen. I just love Sonny so much, I don't know what I would do without her. I'm so glad that my parents said she could come live with us, but I'm worried she'll get another acting job somewhere else, and leave me." I said quietly.
"I will never leave you, I love you." Sonny mumbled as she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Morning, how long have you been up for?" I asked, I hadn't noticed her wake up, I guessed she had just been listening to us with her eyes closed or something.
"Not long, what time is it?" She asked as she stretched and yawned. I found it really cute when she yawned, she made a little squeaking sound that sounded so cute.
"It's about… 11.30." I said as I looked at my phone with was on the coffee table. She smiled and leant across the couch to kiss me. Zora turned away, and let us kiss in private, once we broke apart, we looked at Zora and giggled.
"It's okay Zora, you can look now." Sonny said as Zora turned around again. She smiled sweetly at us and nodded.
"I'm gonna go and take this out to the mini bus, the carer's waiting outside for me. So I guess this is goodbye." She said as she got up, We both got up as well and hugged her. I felt wetness against my chest and realised she was crying.
"Hey, come on Zora, don't cry, we'll keep in touch, We have your number, and we can IM and stuff. This isn't goodbye, not really, we'll see you again. You're gonna be great, you'll get an acting job somewhere else, it'll all be fine, you'll see." I said as I pulled away from the hug and wiped away her tears.
"Yeah, Zora, I promise, we'll keep in touch, and we'll see you again really soon." Sonny said as she hugged the crying 12 year old, who always seemed so tough. Zora offered a forced smile, and we offered it back.
"Thanks guys, I-I guess I'll speak to you soon." She said as she grabbed her suitcase and started to walk out the door, she looked like she was really struggling to pull it, it looked heavy.
"Here." I said as me and Sonny took the case off her and pulled it between us, we walked down the corridor to the mini van which was sitting outside with a tall fat man driving, he looked kind. Me and Sonny lifted the case into the back doors, and went around to the front. The mini van was empty except from the driver, so it was only Zora who was going in it.
"Bye guys, I'll miss you so much, you've both been like the sisters I've never had. I love you guys so much." She said as her tears started to fall again. We both hugged her tightly in a group hug, and she got into the mini van, we all waved until the Van was out of site.
"I'm gonna miss this place, come on, we've got 6 hours before we have to be out, lets go find Nico and Grady." She said as she put her arm around my waist and we walked back inside the studio.
"Where do you wanna check first? Prop house?" I asked and she nodded. We walked own to the prop house, and there they were, the prop house was completely empty, all that was in there was the couches, the TV, and the coffee table. Well, Nico and Grady were in there eating pizza as well.
"Hey guys." I said quietly.
"Hey girls. You okay now Sonny?" Grady asked, probably referring to yesterday when she was crying on stage.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm just gonna miss this place so much, I'm gonna miss you guys as well." She said as both the boys put down there pizza, got up, and made another group hug. I thought it was really cute that they could just hug a girl, most boys would do that, and their mates would think they were dating her.
"We'll miss you too, both of you." Nico said as he released one arm from the hug and signalled for me to join them, which I did. Me and Sonny both started crying in the hug, which Nico and Grady realised, It caused them too hug tighter.
"Have you girls seen Zora? We wanted to say goodbye to her." Grady asked when we pulled away from the hug.
"Grady, she already left, the guy from her kids home came and picked her up about 20 minutes ago. Why don't you text her?" I asked, and they both nodded and grabbed their phones, typing in texts to Zora.
Once they had sent them, we all sat down on the couch, and Nico and Grady offered us some pizza, which we both accepted. We sat in the prop house for what seemed like only an hour, but Marshal came down and found us.
"Guys, its 5.00, you'd best get your stuff out." He said quietly. We didn't realise how long we'd been there for. We all got up and went to leave, when he stopped us two.
"Girls, there's some stuff I need you two to see before you leave." He said, confusing me and Sonny.
"Okay, I guess this is goodbye guys, we'll keep in touch, and text you every day. Good luck." We both said too the two guys, who said it back. We hugged for the last time, and they left the prop house.
Then we followed Marshal down to his office, which was far from empty. There were unopened letters all over the place, there were videos and CD's, all which were addressed to me and Sonny.
"I'm not sure what there are, but they've been coming all week, by the hundreds, I figured I would give them too you today. You have an hour before we have to be out, so if you wanna pack them, you might need another suitcase for them all, a big one, maybe two, or 5. I think I have a few spares you can use." He said as we nodded and thanked him. He went into his walk in cupboard and pulled out 7 empty suitcases. We packed the letters, CD's and video's in 3 of them, and then put about 20 of the letters in a small bag, so we could open them on the plane.
We were done cramming the fan mail and stuff into the suitcases at about 5.55.
"Girls, you've got 5 minutes to get all these cases outside to your limo, which is probably waiting outside. Do you want me to help bring it all out?" he offered, and we nodded. We each grabbed one of the suitcases, and put them by the limo, Norman loaded them into the trunk, and we went back for our other cases, which just had clothes and stuff in.
"I guess this is goodbye Marshal. We'll keep in touch with you." I said, as he hugged us both individually.
"Yeah, It'll be okay, I already got a job co-producing a new show called Hannah Montana. It's already fully cast, otherwise, You two would be top of the list." He said as he smiled at us. We said our final goodbyes to him, and got into the back of the limo.
After we had been on the plane for about 20 minutes, we emptied the fan-letters and stuff onto our laps, opening them one by one. I smiled as I opened the first one and we read it together.
Dear Sonny & Alex,
I'm so upset about the end of So Random. You two are great role-models, regardless of your sexuality, Im 27, and have an 8 year old daughter, who looks up to you guys, and I wouldn't have stopped her watching the show just because you two are dating. Mr Condor was wrong to cancel your show, and sooner or later he'll realise that.
I fully support you and hope you're happy together.
Love Kelly x
The other 19 letters were pretty much the same, which made us both Happy. Once the plane landed, and we were back in New York, my mom greeted us both with a hug as she helped us drag our suitcases to her car. We talked for a while, then when we got back, me and Sonny opened the other 400 fan letters, videos and CD's. The last thing we opened was a video, we put it in the player, and watched it. A man was on the screen.
"Hello, Sonny and Alex. I'm Ray Charleston, Casting director of the TV series Eastenders. It's filmed in England, and I would like you two to be the new characters. You do not need to audition, as I have seen your acting on So Random. You'll be playing a 14 year-old lesbian couple in the show, I know you're 16, but people always play characters younger than them. Please contact me on 020 88463." And then the screen went blank. I turned to Alex, and then practically dived for my phone to call him.
(A.N; Sonny, Ray)
"Ray Charleston."
"Hey, it's Sonny Munroe, we just watched the tape you sent us."
"Oh, Ms Munroe, how nice to speak to you, well, what do you think, fancy a spot on Eastenders?"
"It sounds great! But, living arrangements…"
"You'll stay in a 5 star hotel until you can get somewhere to live. The hote will be paid for by the studio, of course."
"Wow, okay, erm…" I looked to Alex who eagerly nodded.
"We accept. Thank you so much… when do you want us to fly out?"
"We'll send the private jet to the JFK airport for you on wednesday, it'll arrive at 2.00 PM. We look forward to having you on the show."
"Okay, thank you so much. Bye."
"Bye."
And I put the phone down, I started jumping around the bedroom.
"We're going to England, We're on Eastenders…" And Sonny joined it, it was so funny seeing her jump around like a little kid.
Things were starting to look up for us… we didn't need so random… we didn't need Homophobic Mr fucking Condor. We get to work together on a long-running soap opera, as a couple, which meant we get to kiss… a lot.
So there you go… that last chapter (:
I hope you enjoyed :D
