A/N: This chapter starts out pretty well, but towards the end, it's a lot of describing. For the Twitter conversation, the bold part is who tweeted it. The underlined part is a username mention. The italics are the actual text tweet.
OH! And by the way, both the usernames are two of my roleplay accounts. No, they're not dating. xD My Sonny's dating a different Chad and my Chad is single.
In this chapter, I introduce 26 new characters! You don't need to know all of them. Most are just the filler characters in Sonny's family.
If you go to Twitpic and put "/5e13b7" at the end of the homepage url, it'll take you to a picture of the family tree. It's also linked on my profile under "Incomplete Stories".
The picture shows you who's related to who and who's important in the story. I hope I don't confuse you too much!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, just the characters I made up that happen to now live in my imagination.
Chad's POV
On Sunday, promptly at 7:00, I knocked on the Munroe's apartment door.
"Sonny, Could you get the door please?" I heard her mother yell.
A few moments later, the door swung open and I was face to face with the beautiful girl who used to be mine. She had her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, keeping the hair from hiding her chocolate brown eyes. She was dressed in a yellow tie-dyed t-shirt and knee length denim shorts. Even dressed so plainly, she looked stunning.
"Earth to Chad!" Sonny said, waving her hand in front of my face.
"What?" I asked, regaining my composure.
"I asked if you could help me and my mom take these bags out to our car." she repeated in an annoyed tone.
"No need," I said, beckoning to the chauffeur following me. "We'll take the limo."
"Oh, alright. C'mon mom! We're gonna be late!" she yelled, picking up her backpack and suitcase, "Oh, and Chad? Could you get my guitar please?"
I nodded and picked up Sonny's guitar case, then followed her down the stairs and out to where the limo was waiting.
Going through the airport and security was fairly easy. The plane was delayed for about a half hour, but soon we were on our way.
When the flight attendants announced you could use electronic devices, I took out my laptop and logged onto Twitter.
The first thing I saw on my timeline was:
SonnyIsSunny: Currently several thousand feet in the air. Tweet, tweet! Hahah! :D
I glanced at the girl sitting next to me and saw she was online as well. I guess I was busy setting up my laptop to notice she logged on too.
TheGreatCDC: In flight Wi-Fi is one of the best inventions since duct tape.
Instantaneously, my mentions were filled with fangirls agreeing on how much they love Wi-Fi, duct tape, and me.
I replied to a handful of them before I was mentioned on my main timeline.
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC Duct tape? Really Chad?
So I replied,
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Yes, Sonny. Really. Who doesn't love duct tape?
She answered me with,
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC I don't know. Why are we even having this conversation?
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Well, if you direct your attention to one of your previous tweets, you'll see what started this conversation.
I could tell she was rolling her eyes without even looking at her when I read,
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC I know that!
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Why did you ask then?
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC I meant, why are we talking on Twitter? We're on the same plane and sitting right next to each other, you idiot! :P
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Because we can. ;)
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC Ew, don't use winky faces! They're creepy! o.O
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Well in that case… ;)
SonnyIsSunny: TheGreatCDC -.-
I could tell that she was glaring at me, so I decided to kick it up a notch.
TheGreatCDC: Hey everyone, spam SonnyIsSunny with winky faces! She hates 'em. ;)
SonnyIsSunny: O.O …I'm gonna get you for this. TheGreatCDC. -.-
TheGreatCDC: SonnyIsSunny Sure you will, Sonshine. ;) ;) ;)
"Sonshine? You haven't called me that since…" she said, her voice trailing off as she looked out the window.
"Oh, right…" I replied quietly as I closed my laptop.
She simply took out her iPod and a book called The Hunger Games, then withdrew from our conversation.
'Nice job, Goldfarb! Ugh… I hate that name. What kind of name is Goldfarb, anyways?' I thought to myself.
I contemplated that for a few minutes and then drifted off to sleep.
Sonny's POV
When I opened my eyes, the whole world was tilted. I felt something weighing down on the top of my head. I looked up and saw the blonde boy was asleep too. I'd fallen asleep on his shoulder. Blushing, I sat up and looked around. My iPod was still playing and my copy of The Hunger Games was sitting on the tray table in front of me. My mom was also asleep, but she'd been asleep from the beginning of the ride.
Just then, a flight attendant walked by and said, "Excuse me miss, could you please wake up your boyfriend? We'll be landing soon."
"Oh, he's not my boyfriend…" I said, shaking him gently.
She just smiled and said, "Right," before walking away.
"Chaaaddd…" I said softly, trying to wake him.
I repeated variations of his name several times before finally just smacking his arm and saying, "Chad Dylan Cooper, you better wake up right this instant!"
"Mm… Five more minutes, Hannah…"
My face reddened a little as I continued shaking him.
When he finally woke up, I asked him, "Who's Hannah?"
"Huh?" he asked, confusedly.
"I tried to wake you up and you told me, 'Five more minutes, Hannah.' Who's Hannah?"
He explained, "She's our housekeeper. My parents are never home so they hired her… Why do you ask?"
"No reason," I lied as blood ran to my cheeks, making me blush.
"Was Sonny Munroe jealous?" he smirked.
"No!"
"Really Sonny? Really?" he said, trying to get me lost in his eyes.
Unfortunately, it worked.
"I, uh… Uhm…" was all I could get out.
I heard my mom laugh softly, breaking me out of the trance Chad had brought me into.
"Your father used to do that to me all the time." she said, putting her magazines away.
"Oh yeah, what's the deal with your dad? You've never talked about him." Chad asked me quietly.
When I didn't answer, he said, "You don't have to tell me. I was just curious."
"T-thanks…" I said softly.
None of us said anything until the plane landed safely on the ground and we were in the airport.
It took a little, but finally we had all of our bags. Chad's took especially long because he couldn't find his guitar. How hard is it to find a guitar shaped case? I'm pretty sure I was the only other person who put a guitar through baggage claim on our flight.
When we had picked up all of our bags at the baggage claim, I checked my cell phone and saw I had a new voicemail from Lucy.
"Hey Sonny! We just landed in South Carolina! Call me when you guys land!"
I hit "Call Back" and waited for her to pick up.
"Sonny!"
"Lucy! Hey, we landed about a half hour ago. We just finished picking up our bags. Where are you guys?"
"We're over by the—"
"Wait, I see you! Stay there!" I said, hanging up the phone.
Picking up our bags, we walked over to where my friends and family were waiting.
I heard a mixture of "SONNY!" and "ALLIE!" from Lucy, her brothers, and my cousins as they all ran to hug me.
The adults greeted my mom with, "Connie! Good to finally see you again! How's Hollywood been treating you?"
After a few minutes, a few of my little cousins shrieked at the sight of Chad.
"Oh my gosh! You're the Chad Dylan Cooper!" squealed the 15 year old twins, Carrie and Cassie.
As they asked him questions faster than he could answer, Lucy turned to me and asked, "What is he doing here? I thought you broke up with him!"
"I did. Long story short, my mom invited him." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Alright! Now that we're all here, we can all head to the house! Let's go pick up the cars from rental." said Uncle Mitch.
Everyone picked up their belongings and followed behind.
Chad's POV
The next two hours was pure agony. The traffic was pretty terrible so it took longer than we'd expected. Two hours of being stuck in a car with Sonny, her friend Lulu, Lulu's brothers, and some of the Sonny's little cousins. Two hours of being forced to listen to terrible music. Two hours of being forced to listen to everyone in the car singing terrible music.
But I've gotta admit, Sonny's got a pretty good voice. She used to sing all the time when we were dating…
Anyways, we finally arrived at the house. It was literally right on the beach. You walk like 50 feet into the backyard and you're standing on the edge of the beach.
The actual house was fairly large. I mean, I lived in a bigger house, but this house could definitely hold 29 people. It was a 2 story, C-shaped house, forming almost a complete box around the swimming pool. The only side of the "box" that was open was facing the beach.
The second all of our suitcases hit the floor, everyone went exploring. The kids all went immediately to the back where the pool was. The teenagers stood on the edge of the beach, just looking around. The adults were inside looking and claiming the rooms they would stay in.
On the first floor when you first walk in, there's a living room on your right. In the living room, there was two couches forming an L-shape and a flat screen TV. If you go through a door on the other side of the living room, there's a game room. Pool table, video gaming systems, pretty much anything you'd consider a game was in there. Within the game room was a small bedroom for four.
If you went to the left when you came in, there's a huge kitchen. If you go past the kitchen, there's a bathroom and then a dining room. The dining room had a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling above a long, rectangular table. The table was big, but couldn't hold more than 15 people.
Standing at the front door, there were two sets of stairs and a balcony that reminded me of the royal palace in Princess Diaries. (In my defense, the only reason I know that is because my little cousin Ariana made me watch it with her.)
The top floor of the house was symmetrical. One room on each end of the "C" with two rooms facing opposite each other and a bathroom on the other end of the hall. The sides of the house facing the pool had balconies overlooking it. The rooms at the end of the hall also had balconies looking over the beach. Below the balconies was a deck surrounding the pool area. Overall, it was a pretty nice house.
On the right side of the house, I got the end room on the second floor. One of the Miller families were in a room next to mine. The other Millers took the room across from their cousins.
Sonny, her mom, and her grandmother took the room corresponding to mine. Lucy and her family, the Johnsons, stayed in a room next to Sonny's. The Colemans got the room across from the Johnsons. The Martins took the room inside of the game room.
I guess I should explain each of the families. If you really wanna remember, you better take notes.
Sonny's grandfather, Jack Miller, married a woman named Eleanor. They had five children: Connie, Natalie, Melody, Mitchell, and Aaron.
Connie married Jake Munroe and had Sonny (age 17, duh).
Natalie married Jason Coleman. The Colemans have a 17 year old boy named Shane, identical twins Carrie and Cassie (age 15), and 12 year old Tyler.
Melody and Cory Martin have 13 year old Tess and 12 year old Ian.
Mitchell Miller is married to Hayley. Mitchell and Hayley have three kids named Zach (age 12), Jenna (age 7), and Claire (age 4).
Aaron and Violet Miller have two kids: AJ (age 6) and Ryan (age 2).
Elaine and Stephen Johnson have four kids: Brian (age 19), Matt (age 18), Lucy (age 17), and Nathan (age 13).
That's everyone. Confusing, huh? I thought so too.
The first night was fairly uneventful. We mostly unpacked and settled in. When we'd finished, the teenagers and kids jumped into the pool for about two hours. I wasn't in the mood to swim, so I sat on the deck and played my guitar for them.
I watched them all the whole time. Sonny played with Jenna, Claire, and AJ until it was their bedtime. Typical Sonny. She loves kids.
When the little kids had gone to sleep, Shane, Carrie, Cassie, Tyler, Tess, Ian, Zach, Brian, Matt, Nathan, Lucy, and Sonny had a chance to really use the pool. They played volleyball, Marco Polo, and just shoved each other into the pool for a while.
I noticed Nathan flirting with the twins, but they just thought he was adorable. And not the boyfriend material adorable. He didn't seem to take the hints. Tess seemed to have a thing for Nathan, not that he noticed.
(A/N: Remember, some of them aren't related. The twins and Tess are related to Sonny. Nathan is not related. Just wanted to make that clear. :P)
Tyler, Zach, and Ian were like triplets. You couldn't separate them under any circumstances. It makes sense though. They're all 12, after all.
Sonny, Lucy, Brian, and Matt seemed to have a good time shoving each other into the pool. Matt and Sonny especially. He and Brian seemed to only call Sonny, "Allie." Some sort of pet name?
I continued playing my guitar, wondering if Sonny liked him.
'Pshh, he's not that special. Why would she like him?' I told myself.
Even after everyone had gone to sleep, I was lying awake in my bed trying to convince myself of that.
A/N: Review pretty please? :)
