Thanks for your help anyway! :) OK, next chapter!

Chapter 15-Outta Here

Sonny's POV

I didn't leave my apartment after that-why would I? I don't want my life invaded anymore by the press. I never want to hear another question or camera flash again. Why didn't I think of this, when I moved to Hollywood? I mean, I knew I'd get press, I just guess I never thought I'd meet Chad Dylan Cooper, one of the most-talked about guys in Hollywood, scratch that, the whole continent, and if he had it his way-the world. You interact with Chad, even if you just speak to him, you end up in the spotlight like that. I always knew that would be the price for dating him, I just never realised it would be this hard.

There's suddenly a knock at the door and my crazed thoughts are interrupted. I answer the door, trying to forget it all.

"Chad?"

He's stood there, again, looking confused.

"What are you doing here?" I yell, "I though you were going!"

"Sonny, it's me," He says, "Tawni."

"Tawni?" I say, before blinking and realising it's another hallucination. I whack myself on the head, trying to stop all of this. "Why is this happening to me?" I sigh, and Tawni looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Uh…what's happening to you exactly?"

"I'm seeing Chad everywhere." I say, "It's just crazy. I can't take it anymore." I sit on the couch, sighing and thinking.

Tawni looks at me with sympathy for the first time ever, and sits with me. "Sonny," She says, "I understand break-ups can push you over the edge. But you have to forget him. It's not like you won't be able to stay away from him, I mean, you work in the same place, the rivalry, your Mom always watches the show…he's part of your life, Sonny. You can't hide from that. Unless you wanna, I don't know, go back to Wisconsin or something…"

…

…

"…Sonny?" You OK?"

I sigh, unsure of what to do. On the one hand, I love it here. I enjoy my job; I have great friends, its only Chad that's driving me away. Well, him and the Falls cast…and Dakota…to be honest, I do have a few rivals here. On the other hand, I love and miss Wisconsin, all my friends, my normal life, life in Hollywood is stressful, no doubt. Question is, do I give up all that just to get away from Chad? Is it really time to say goodbye to all my dreams?

"…Sonny?" Tawni says, "Are you OK? You seem…in a trance."

"I don't know, Tawni." I say, "I just need time to think."

"Sonny, are you seriously thinking of leaving?" She asks, getting up, and I shrug. "Sonny, you can't!"

"Why not?" I ask.

"Who will replace you?"

"Well, I won't be gone for long. I just need a couple of months to unwind. I could go back to my normal life, then come back here and everything will be normal. You could hire some celebrity guests if you need help. You guys can go on without me, right?"

She shrugs, thinking, before saying, "Phff! Of course we could!"

I see right through her act though, and smile smugly at her. "You're gonna miss me, aren't you?"

She laughs nervously, pacing a little, "Uh…no…"

I smile, "You'll miss me, Tawni. Admit it."

"I will not." She insists.

"Will too," I say.

"Not,"

"Too,"

"Not,"

"Too,"

"Fine!" She sighs, "I'll miss you, OK? I will miss you!"

She sits back down, sighing.

"It's OK, Tawn." I say, "I'll miss you too."

"Aw, Sonny!" She says, hugging me tightly. "Just don't be gone for too long."

"I won't," I say, "I promise."

I walk into Condor Studios for my last day the next day. Tomorrow is the live show, but I won't be able to do it because the next plane to Wisconsin in ages is tomorrow afternoon. I feel really bad, but of course, no-one else realises why I need to get away from here so quick.

"Sonny, you can't!" Zora yells.

"We need you here! We're a team!" Grady say.

"A family," Nico adds, "You can't do this to us."

"I'm sorry guys," I say, "I just need a few months to get away. I promise I'll be back."

"When?" Zora asks.

"I don't know," I say, "Whenever I feel better."

"They have a point, Sonny," Tawni says, "You can't just run from your problems. You need to face them."

We all look at Tawni, surprised, and she sighs.

"What? I can be deep."

I smile, "I'll miss you guys." I say, "But I have to go."

They sigh, not making eye contact, and I feel bad.

"I'm sorry, guys," I say, "I'm gonna go pack."

I turn to leave, but a voice stops me.

"Sonny?"

I look back, to see them all sad.

"We'll miss you." They say in unison, and I smile.

"Bye, guys." I give them one last group hug, and with that, I'm gone.

I hear a ring on my phone. I have a message. I listen to the message:

"Hey, Sonny. It's Chad. Um, I know you probably don't want to talk to me right now. I guess I just wanted to say hi. Well, since we're friends now, I guess…do you wanna be friends? Coz I think it would be cool. Back to normal, you know? Please call me back when you get this, I'd like to talk to you again."

I sigh, deleting the message. I send a text to my friends, telling them not to let Chad know what's going on. He'd follow me if he found out, and I can't put up with that right now. He'll be fine without me.

Now, I bet you guys are thinking that this sounds like I will use idea 1 here. Keep reading, you'll see it will be a little different...
