This chapter should be epic if I write it right.
Question.
Do you guys prefer the weird way I write, with no indents or paragraphs, and mostly just random sentences (like the way i'm writing right now) or would you prefer proper paragraphs and junk?
Personally, I think with long paragraphs in fanfiction stories it's easy to get lost while you're reading.
But that's just my opinion.
I don't own SWAC.
Previously on You'd Be Surprised:
I felt to heartbroken to say anything to him, anyway.
I mean, I just told him I loved him, and then gave him my first kiss.
And he does that to me?
I wrapped my hand around the heart on the necklace he gave me, turned around, and ran off the roof, into the halls of Condor Studios.
Chelsea's POV
The rest of the studio was extremely quiet, of course. The only noise that I could hear was the beat of the music from the roof.
The image of David hugging that girl kept repeating in my head.
They were just hugging. It wasn't that big a deal.
So why was I reacting so strangely?
The image continued playing in my head, and I noticed something.
David had a lipstick mark on his cheek.
I wasn't wearing lipstick.
Running through the halls, I reached the main door and pushed it open, walking outside. And of course, it was raining. The limo wasn't supposed to come pick us up until nine o'clock (which was an hour away), and I forgot my umbrella.
And, also of course, stupid little me didn't bring her cell phone.
I looked up at the roof. There was a large blue cover over it, shielding the party from the rain.
How do you even get something like that?
Then again, this is Mr. Condor we're talking about.
Not caring about my dress or my hair (surprisingly. Coopers always care about their hair. Especially Chad. Ever messed up his hair before? Doesn't end good.), I ran out into the rain. As I ran down the sidewalk, it continued raining harder. I heard the studio door opening, but between the rain and the dark sky, I couldn't tell who it was.
Please don't let it be David.
I kept running until finally I gave up, and sat on the curb. A street light was a few feet away from me.
Great, my own personal spotlight to look like a wreck in.
I pulled my knees to my chest and cried. I heard rapid footsteps down the sidewalk, and somehow, I recognized the footsteps.
What? We're twins, we know when our other half is there.
"Chelsea!" Chad exclaimed, out of breath, running over to me. "What happened?" he leaned down on one knee next to me.
I sniffled. "Shouldn't you be with Sonny?"
"No, Chelsea. We're not talking about Sonny. What happened to you?"
Another tear fell down my face. "D-david." I muttered.
"What did he do? I'll kill him if he hurt you."
I would have laughed at how Chad was acting if I hadn't been so sad.
I wiped my eyes and sniffled again, attempting to talk. "S-some girl wanted to dance w-with him, so they left. After I sang my song, I went to go find h-him and..."
"And what?" Chad asked desperatly. "What happened?" he repeated for the third time.
"He was h-hugging her. I don't know why I reacted so weird, b-but after I thought about it for a while, I noticed there was a lipstick mark on his c-cheek...and i'm not wearing lipstick."
Chad looked down, thinking. "But this doesn't make sense. Why would he cheat on you? Are you sure you're not just imagining things?"
"No, Chad," I said, still crying. "It was real. And I know i'm probably overreacting, but I just..." I sighed. "Imagine if you saw Sonny hugging...Joe Jonas. And he had her lipstick on his face. Wouldn't you be upset?"
"Well of course," Chad said. "I love Sonny."
Another tear fell down my face as the wind blew through my hair. "Exactly."
Chad wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest, him not even seeming to care that I was ruining his suit.
"I'm sorry, Chels." he whispered.
"You know, you're a pretty good brother," I said, a small smile on my face.
"Of course I am. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper."
I laughed.
"Must you act so...annoying all the time?" I asked.
"I was trying to make you laugh, and I did. Isn't that what counts?"
"Whatever, Chad."
After Chad had run off after his sister, Sonny was left alone. She looked around at all of the familiar faces of people on the other shows at Condor Studios.
To bad she wasn't friends with most of them.
Then, on another side of the roof, she saw two girls she was actually friends with; one sparkly and one orange.
Ashley was dancing like a fool while Abbie just stared at her like she was crazy.
"You're not afraid to dance in public like that?" Sonny heard Abbie ask as she walked over to them.
"No. You're usually the one who doesn't care about what people think. What happened?" Ashley asked her brown-haired friend.
Abbie shrugged. "I don't. Just.." she sighed. "You look like a fool, Ash."
"Hey guys!" Sonny said happily as she walked up to them.
"Yo," the girls replied in unison.
"Um..." Sonny looked at Ashley's strange dancing. "What are you doing, exactly?"
"Dancing. Why?"
"'Cause it looks like you're having a seizure." Abbie answered with a smirk. She began laughing until Ashley hit her arm. "Oww..."
"Anyways," Ashley said, stopping her strange dance moves. "Shouldn't you be with your boyfriend?"
"No, he ran after Chelsea." Sonny answered.
"Chelsea?" Abbie asked. "What happened to Chelsea?"
"I'm not sure. But she ran off the roof, looking pretty upset." Sonny answered with a shrug. "I offered to go with, but Chad told me not to."
Abbie and Ashley saw a look cross Sonny's face that they recognized.
"And now, being Sonny, you're gonna go meddle, aren't you?" Ashley asked with a sigh.
"No, she's not gonna meddle." Abbie said. "She's gonna Sonny-it-up."
"That term's so hurtful!" Sonny said. She took a few steps towards the roof door, then turned around and looked at the other two girls again. "But yes, I am." she said, then left the roof, and the party.
"Why are you still here?" Chelsea asked her brother as he sat with her under the street light, both of them soaking wet.
"What do you mean?" Chad looked at her.
"Go back to the party. Have fun. I'm fine." she responded, attempting a smile.
"No." Chad said sternly, looking back at the street.
Chelsea sighed. "Chad, go."
"No."
"Go."
"No."
"NOW!"
"No."
"Ugh! Fine!"
"Thank you."
Chad smirked while Chelsea rested her head on her knees, sighing again.
The two looked at the sidewalk as they heard heels come down it. A shadow appeared, soon revealed in the street light.
"Sonny?" Chelsea asked.
"What are you guys doing here? You're getting soaked!" Sonny exclaimed, kneeling down next to them. "Speaking of which, I wish I had brought an umbrella." she looked down at her dress.
"I hate your brother." Chelsea said flatly.
"What?"
"I hate your brother." she repeated.
"Why would you hate David? Didn't you love him like...twenty minutes ago?" Sonny asked.
Chad sighed. "David was hugging a different girl, and he had her lipstick on his cheek."
"And before you tell me i'm overreacting," Chelsea added, "I know."
Sonny shook her head. "I'm gonna kill that boy."
Hah, there you are~
