Chapter 4: Missing
Chad had gotten a call about 3 hours later from Tawni wondering if Sonny was with him.
"What? No, she's not with me. She ran off about 3 hours ago", Chad told Tawni
"Why did she run off?", Tawni asked worriedly
"Well…er…she er…kinda caught Portlyn kissing me", Chad admitted
"WHAT?"
"Well, it wasn't my fault"
"How could it not be?", Tawni practically screamed at him
"Portlyn attacked me!", Chad tried to defend himself poorly
"Uh…no wonder she's missing after everything you've done to her"
"Wait – she's missing?"
"Yeah"
"Isn't she at home?", Chad was getting really anxious now
"No, her mom called me o ask if she was with me and u told her she wasn't, so I told her I thought she would be with you", Tawni explained, " but obviously she isn't, so I'm gonna call her mom back and she's gonna call the cops"
"OH MY GOD! Sonny! She…but…love…NO! I need to go find her", Chad was frantic now
"No, Chad wait", Tawni tried but Chad had already hung up…
1 hour later Chad was wandering about looking for Sonny. Where could she be? He had checked everywhere: her favourite resteraunt, her favourite park, her favourite shop, her favourite bookstore, the movie theatre where they first kissed, the carnival and the bowling alley.
Where was she?
*Meanwhile….*
Sonny's POV:
I hope no-one finds me.
I hope I just crawl under a rock and never see anyone again.
And I especially hope I never have to set my eyes on Chad. Dylan. Cooper. Ever. Again. Ever.
My face was a mess, my very reavealing top was soaked, both my heels were broke and to top it all off, it was absolutely FREEZING outside, and I was hardly dressed for the weather!
The worst thing was, I couldn't stop crying.
As much as I didn't want to cry any more tears over *gulp* Chad, I just couldn't stop!
AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH! It was so frustrating!
Chad's POV:
Where was she? I have looked everywhere.
Sonny Monroe – the girl I loved – was missing and it was all my fault. What if something happened to her? Oh God! She had to be OK, she was my Sonny. My Sonny who loved Twilight, my Sonny who hated heights and my Sonny who recited lines from movies.
Wait! That's when I realised, our first date at the movie park!
She wouldn't definitely be there, but it was worth a shot.
Third Person's POV:
Chad jumped in his convertible and sped, as fast as his car would take him, to the movie park.
As he was driving, a million thoughts were racing through his mind: was Sonny at the park? If she was what would she say to him? Would she let him explain? Would she listen to him when he told her loved him?... Did she love him back?
Eventually, Chad reached the movie park.
He pulled over and started running around the park, frantically looking for Sonny.
He was just about to give up, when he found her, crawled up beneath a tree – still crying.
Chad rushed over to her and sat down.
As he sat down, he realised she was wearing a very revealing outfit.
"Why is she dressed like that?", Chad wondered to himself, "Do you know what? I don't care I just want her to be ok"
"What are you doing here?", Sonny gave Chad a sour look, "I thought I made myself clear earlier…let me put this in a way you'll understand – I. Never. Want. To. See. You. Again!
"Sonny, let me explain", Chad started
"No, Chad, there isn't anything TO explain, I heard your conversation and then I saw you…I…I…I saw you kiss HER!", Sonny screamed and started crying.
"Shhhh, it's OK", Chad pulled Sonny into a hug
"D…d…Don't touch m…me! Just g-g-go AWAY", Sonny pushed Chad
"Sonny, you have to listen. The kiss was fake – Portlyn attacked me! I tried to get her off but she wouldn't budge. You have to believe me. I'm not lying to you – I wouldn't please believe me, please", Chad begged.
Sonny turned around and looked into his eyes for a split second, and she knew, she just knew, that he was telling the truth.
"OK, I believe you, but what about the conversation?", she questioned him
"What conversation?"
"The conversation I heard you having with Portlyn, where you said you had me so fooled and you were going to crush me. The one where you said you only love Portlyn", Sonny's face fell again
"Sonny, you must have heard us running lines"
"I cant have, because when she was talking to you she called you Chad, and when you were talking to her you called her Portlyn and you said my name"
"What? Sonny, I love you. I wouldn't do that to you, Portlyn must've-", Chad started but was cut off by Sonny
"Wait, what did you just say?", Sonny asked
"I said I wouldn't do that to you"
"No before that – you said, you said you love me", Sonny smiled
"Oh, right-well….yeah I love you, Sonny Monroe. But we need to find Portlyn-"
"I love you too, Chad Dylan Cooper", Sonny smiled
Chad picked Sonny up and kissed her with the most passion he had in his body.
After what seemed like hours, Sonny spoke. "As much as I'm enjoying making out with you, and believe me - I am, I think we need to find Portlyn and confront her"
Chad laughed and then agreed, so hand in hand, they made their way to Chad's car.
They enjoyed a long drive together before reaching the 'Mackenzie Falls' set where they searched for Portlyn, to find out what really happened with the conversation…
