I got a few reviews for the last chapter, and thanks to those who did. I really appreciate it!

Why was Tawni so stunned!?
Tawni's POV
There he was. The heart breaker of Sonny Monroe. Making out. Portlyn. Oh. My. God.
HAHA!! Just kidding!! But what's happening now is even more shocking.
There he was. The heart breaker of Sonny Monroe. Bawling his eyes out. Oh. My God.
I stood in the doorway, frozen. I thought about closing the door and running for dear life; for Chad Dylan Cooper could probably get pretty nasty when someone sees him crying. He was laying on the bed, on his stomach, and looked as though he were shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't believe my eyes. His sobs and muttered "sorry"s were much louder than he would it end them to be, though I hadn't heard them with the door closed. Soundproof?
Before I did anything, I tried to come up with a reason for this situation. I could think of only positives first. Was he upset about what happened? Did he think breaking up with the exploding ball of sunshine was the wrong doing? Did he want her back?
Then, the negative comments began to form.
Was there someone else, and they had denied him like he denied Sonny?
...That's the only one I can come up with right now.
Chad (I shivered a shiver of anger) hadn't moved from his current position, therefore he hadn't heard me. This was my chance. Avoid anything awkward and just leave. Leave him alone to be miserable...for whatever reason.
But, before I could act differently, I walked in and shut the door behind me without thinking about it. I had entered.
And I was a complete idiot for doing it.
A sharp jolt of unease pierced my stomach. How could I be so dumb? What was I going to do? I couldn't yell at him, I feel sort of bad-
You were not going to say you felt bad for Chad Dylan Cooper!
No, no. I was going to say he looked bad...c'mon, he's crying! I'm helping.
Have you forgotten who you are!?
Nope, I'm just going insane. And it's all that goody-two-shoes little Sonny Monroe who's got me thinking about world peace or whatever. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to wake up soon.
Well, then. Keep dreaming. In both senses.
I sighed.
My mind was pounding, and screaming at my legs to move forward. I stayed frozen in the same spot.
He looked up.
I gasped, my eyes widening. No way was this Chad Dylan Cooper. The CDC. His face was streaked with tears, some parts a darker shade than others where the tears glazed over. His eyes were troubled and in complete misery, and they widened at the sight of me. He looked as though he'd been sobbing for hours. Only one question ran through my mind.
Had he wanted to break Sonny's heart?
Of everything I knew about Chad Dylan Cooper, this was a first. The fact that he cried. Ever. I guess that since he gave everyone the impression that his life was perfect in every way, even more perfect than Tawni Town, he never had a reason to. Had Sonny made him feel even better about himself than he had before? And now that e broke up with her...well, it stops there. Why would he?
"Get out." He choked.
"No, I don't think I will." I said sternly.
He hid his face in the bed sheets. He muttered into them a response.
"What?"
He looked up, angry. That makes two of us. "I said, GET OUT!"
Sure, Chad had been rude and cruel to my cast and I, but he had never raised his voice like this. I knew if I wasn't feeling the way I was now, I would sprint out of the room. Now, though, I stood my ground, crossing my arms with a scowl.
"I'm not leaving till you give me some answers!" I screamed at him.
Chad looked shocked. I was shocked, too, but I didn't show it. Tawni Hart, once again, never loses her cool. But when it comes to this conceited jerk face, I could get crazy furious every time, or any time, I want!
"Why are you such an idiot?! You love her, remember? You love her! Why would you hurt her like that!?" I was beyond furious.
Hurt crossed his eyes as I let my anger flow to the volume of my words. Never in my life had I ever been this mad, and that's not good. He shook his head. More tears.
I continued. "And why are you crying? Is it because that other girl you dumped Sonny for didn't want you anymore?" I smirked.
Chad widened his eyes. His body shook once again, but I had a feeling it was from something else now. He looked beyond offended. Standing up and getting off the bed, he glared at me, advancing.
In a low, harsh voice: "I would never cheat on Sonny."
Each word was low, meaningful, and scared the hell out of me. My sure gaze faltered. As I tried to step back, away from this boy I didn't know, I tripped over my own feet and stumbled to the round with a loud thump.
My nose tingled and a stinging sensation started in the corners of my eyes. That was painful. My leg felt momentarily stunned. I squeezed my eyes shut from the pain and the fact I could see Chad cry, but he would never see me cry. I grabbed it on instinct, and I noticed that I landed on it funny. It was bent at a very awkward angle.
I looked up at him, wondering if by some miracle he would help me up. He seemed to be debating something in his mind, a shocked look on his face. I had a feeling it was toward himself. I shook my head, taking a deep breath, trying to stand up.
I faltered once again, and glared up at him. Chad shook his head, and bent down to my level.
"You okay?" He asked, putting one hand on my back and holding my hand as I made my way up.
"Yeah." I looked at him funny as he didn't let go, wondering if I was going to fall over or not. I was completely shocked that he would actually help, and not just point and laugh at me as I lay on the floor in pain. He quickly remove his hands. "Sorry."
I was momentarily stunned. What did he just say?
"What?" I breathed.
He looked confused. "I said sorry."
A million thoughts zoomed through my head. Sonny...forgiveness...sorry...not meaning to...accident...caring...and it came down to one thing that my mind processed in five seconds.
Sonny Monroe had changed Chad Dylan Cooper. They loved each other, both seriously did. But then, I think, when she told him of the fact she would be back at So Random!, he thought it meant something different. Like she didn't want him anymore. I needed to fix this. Fast.
"She still wants you, Chad. Still loves you. I don't know what happened when she showed you Behind Enemy Lines, but you must have taken it the wrong way. She's bawling her eyes out on my precious cheetah couch because she thinks that you don't want her. You want each other. And of you're not together, it's going to drive me insane!" In ways you won't even understand, I thought.
Halfway through my speech, he had fell back onto the couch, covering his face with his hands.
"I thought she was trying to let me down easily. I was scared. Like hell, man. I love her, Tawni, I do."
I shook my head, smiling. "Apologizing, caring, remembering my name...you must have had it bad."
"I still do." He rubbed his eyes.
And if there's one thing I know about Sonny, it's that she's strong. She still is, even though she broke down on the couch. But, knowing her mind, she would pretend that it didn't matter, because that's what normal Chad Dylan Cooper would do. The mean one. She wouldn't give in, even if he apologized on his knees at her feet, kissing her hand as he begged for forgiveness. This was going to hard.
But I wouldn't stop until Channy existed.

"Is this Allison Monroe?" A man's voice asked. He sounded serious.
Why would I even answer the phone? My voice would crack, and I had just stopped crying an hour ago. I had taken a shower and brushed my teeth and hair, freshening up a little. I was in the cafeteria now, getting a froyo. It was about lunch time, and I had kept my eyes away from Mack Falls at all costs. I saw in my peripheral vision his hair, just once, and almost ran out, crying.
I cleared my throat, covering the phone with my palm before putting it back to my ear.
"This is she," I answered, surprisingly my voice not cracking.
"Ah, perfect. Miss Monroe, my name is Carter Mason. Head of Mega Studios? I'm asking to see if you'd be interested in showing me some of your songs."
The froyo I had taken away from the machine slipped from my hands and into the floor. It splattere everywhere.
"Hey!" The lady with the mop yelled, causing everyone to look at me. "I have to clean that up!"
I opened my mouth to say I was sorry, but I couldn't speak. Did this mean a record deal? Was I getting asked for a record deal!?
Everyone was silent staring at me. I panted, probably freaking Carter out.
"Allison, are you there?" He asked.
My eyes widened even more at his voice. This was for real. "Yes, yes, I'm here." Everyone listened intently ot my private onverstaion. Thanks guys.
"And, yeah. I would...I would love to."
I looked at Tawni at my table, and she gaped at me. I looked the same fanning my face while breathing deep.
"Great!" Carter said. "Is tomorrow night okay?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow..." I put him on speaker so I could look at my phone's calendar. I checked the date. I was free, Marshall would understand. "That's absolutely perfect, Carter."
I laughed giddily, jumping up and down as quietly as I could as everyone stared.
Still on speaker, Carter said, "Fantastic! I'll see you tomorrow at five, here, okay?"
"Beyond okay," I told him, nodding even though he wouldn't see.
"Bye, Sonny." And he hung up.
I swallowed.
My phone literally slipped from my hands onto the floor, not breaking, though. Thank God. I as so shocked, I fanned myself with both my hands now, about to faint. I was sure of it.
"YES!!!!"
