A/N: Be sure to read and review! Thanks for reading! By the way, this chapter is a little shorter. There's not quite as much going on as the last chapter, but I still thought it was pretty important! I hope that you like it! Here you go: Part 3/6!

Sonny's POV
I woke up the next morning to realize that I hadn't put the tape away yesterday. I had left (because I was so annoyed with Tawni) and forgotten to put it away.
I would have worried about it more, but no one really goes into our dressing room, except for me and Tawni. And she already knew how I felt about Chad, since she dragged it out of me. But still, there was a little nagging feeling inside of me that something was off.
So that's why the first thing I did when I got to our dressing room was run to the place where I had left my tape. I looked down and noticed that it wasn't there!
Maybe Tawni had put it away somewhere for me….
I searched through my stuff, but I was unsuccessful. I searched under the bed (which was kept in our dressing room just in case we ever needed it…….sometimes, we just needed a nap after a long day), on my dresser, in my dresser, in the closet, and even on the vanity.
I had been looking for thirty minutes all by myself. Which reminds me, where is Tawni? She's usually here by now.
Luckily, she walked in just as I was thinking this and was about to starting to dig through the couch.
"Ewww, what are you doing?!" she asked, wrinkling her nose in disgust. Apparently, you weren't supposed to lift the couch cushions in Tawni's world. That's just too gross.
"I'm looking for that tape….where have you been?" I asked, curiously.
"Nowhere," she said, avoiding eye contact and looking around awkwardly.
"What are you up to?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her suspiciously.
"Nothing….so what tape are you talking about?"
"The tape from yesterday," I answered.
"Sorry Sonny, but I'm not sure I remember what you're talking about. What is the video about? Maybe you could refresh my memory," she said, smiling and feigning innocence.
I glared at her.
"Tawni, you know what I'm talking about. Don't make me tell you again!" I shouted in frustration.
First, I really, really wanted to find that tape. I couldn't risk anyone finding it or seeing it, especially Chad! It would be humiliating!!!
Second, I had already told Tawni once, and it was already embarrassing enough admitting my feelings for the jerk-throb rival actor the first time. There was no way I wanted to admit it again!
"No, I'm not sure that I do know. Maybe if you told me, I could tell you where I just might have seen it…" she said, smiling again.
What was she up to?!!
I sighed, exasperated.
"Fine. It's a video I made for Chad…" I started, rolling my eyes. Clearly, she already knew this and just loved making me say it again.
"About what?" she asked, innocently once again.
I glared, again.
"Telling him that I like him! Okay? There, I said it! Sonny Monroe likes Chad Dylan Cooper!" I shouted, throwing my hands up in frustration as I flopped onto the couch.
I looked over and saw her reach into her right pocket as she smiled, and I thought that maybe she was going to pull out my tape. But, regretfully, her hand emerged from her pocket, empty.
I sighed, again. How many times was that today so far?
"So, where have you seen the tape?" I asked, exhausted.
"Oh, I haven't seen it. Sorry!" she said, flipping her hair.
"Tawni, where could it be?!" I said, grabbing her arm, almost in tears.
I can't imagine what's going to happen if I don't find that tape. Where could it be? Who could have possibly come into my room during the night to take it?!
What's going to happen if Chad sees it?
I'll die of embarrassment. His stupid large head will be too big for me to even fit inside Condor Studios anymore! Endless humiliation and mockery. I wouldn't be able to stand it.
I absolutely HAD to find that tape!
"What's wrong with you?" Tawni asked, surprised at my sudden outburst.
"Do you have any idea how embarrassed I'll be if Chad sees that video?! I mean, I admitted that I like him!"
"So what?! Everyone can tell anyway," she replied, casually as she examined her nails.
"No, they can't!"
"Yes, Sonny! They can! Well, except for Chad. He's just as oblivious as you are," she responded.
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused. How was I oblivious to anything?
"It's so obvious, Sonny, that you two love each other. But neither of you can see it. It's so frustrating. And gross," she said, rolling her eyes.
I love Tawni, but sometimes, she's so stupid. Clearly, Chad does not love me. I mean, it's so obvious. He could have any girl he wants. Girls fawn over him. Why would he want me?
"Chad does not like me, which is why he absolutely can NOT see that video. I'd be so embarrassed! I couldn't stand him mocking me for something like that," I said, my eyes tearing up.
My feelings for Chad were pretty strong. And I know I'm a strong person, but I don't think I could handle it if Chad mocked the way I felt about him. It's just easier that he doesn't know.
"Wow, you really like him," Tawni said, coming over towards me.
"I do, which is why he really can't see that tape. I'd rather just believe that he doesn't like me. It's easier than telling the truth and getting mocked. That would break my heart," I said, crying at the idea.
"I'm telling you, Sonny, he won't mock you! He feels the same way," Tawni said, again as she tried to put her arm around me to comfort me.
"Tawni, just let it go, okay? I don't want him to know," I said, with a hint of finality.
"Ok, fine," she said, pulling her arm away from my shoulders.
"Now, help me find the tape!" I screeched, jumping off of the couch to begin my search all over again.
Tawni looked down at the floor.
"I don't think we're going to find it…." She said awkwardly.
"Why not?" I asked, curiously. Tawni looked like she was definitely up to something.
She looked up quickly as her tone of voice returned to normal.
"Uhh… I think the clearning lady probably accidentally tossed it out!"
I stopped, confused.
"We have a cleaning lady?" I asked. I never even knew. Huh. How weird
"Well, duh! You actually think Tawni Hart would do her own cleaning?!" she asked, flipping her hair and admiring it in the mirror.
"Good point," I replied. "So, anyway, you really think the cleaning lady would throw it away? I mean, it was in my room. She doesn't randomly throw away my other stuff," I said.
"Sonny, do I look like I know how a cleaning lady thinks?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
Another good point.
"So what do I do?" I asked, worried.
"Just let it go. Don't worry about it," Tawni replied.
"Don't worry about it?!!!" I asked, shocked. "Of course I'm going to worry about it! What if Chad sees it?!"
"Sonny, relax. Just let it go," Tawni attempted again.
"No, I'm not letting it go. I'm going to find this cleaning lady and find out what she did with it!" I replied, determined.
Tawni's eyes widened.
"That's probably not a good idea," she replied.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm sure she's pretty busy," Tawni replied again. Something was definitely off here. Tawni never holds this long of a conversation with anyone, unless they're constantly telling her how pretty she is.
"Well, it'll only take a minute. Now what does she look like?" I asked, curiously.
"Ummm…." Tawni stuttered, looking at the ground. "She's about 5'2" with dark hair and brown eyes," Tawni replied, still looking at the floor.
"Okay, what's her name?"
"Ummm…Like I have time to remember the name of the cleaning lady. Psh," Tawni said, flipping her hair once again, acting really strange.
What was up with Tawni, anyway? Why was she acting so strange?
I shrugged it off. Maybe Tawni just didn't like the cleaning lady. She had probably just thrown away some of Tawni's Cocoa Mocho Cocoa lipstick or something by accident and Tawni probably just never forgave her....
"Ok, well. Thanks anyway! I'll see you at rehearsal later! I'm gonna go find her!" I shouted, running out the door to find this cleaning lady.
I really hope she had that tape!
