Chapter 19-Hockey and Suspicions

Sonny's POV

Last night was so much fun! I even think Chad enjoyed it, considering the awkward mood between us after ice skating. I don't know what made it so awkward, maybe it was just me. It was just that we spent the whole ride in silence, maybe it was just a comforting silence. Maybe I took the whole thing the wrong way.

Either way, the dinner was cool. We had a beef stroganoff special to Melanie's family. What made it special? A little hint of Wisconsin cheddar. Yum. I didn't expect it to taste so good, but it was amazingly delicious. Even Chad seemed to think so, and I didn't think he was a fan of Wisconsin cheddar. Well, he sure is now.

We arrived home, way to tired to do anything else but fall right onto our beds and close our eyes. I think the moment my head touched the pillow, I went out like a light. Plus, I felt completely bloated after eating that huge meal. You know when you have your favourite meal in a large portion, and enjoy it so much right until about two hours later when it comes back to haunt you? I seriously felt like a whale. That's when Chad put on the radio and 'Just the Way You Are' coincidentally came on.

At the end, the radio presenter said in his bubbly voice, "And that was Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars, requested by my great friend Chad Dylan Cooper for his Sonshine. You are one lucky girl, Sonny Munroe."

"You really are, m'lady." Chad grinned.

I blushed redder than the day I got my first Californian sun-burn.

I wake up to my phone ringing for a text. I groan, looking over to Chad who is smiling in his sleep. Good, he's not awake. I was worried the stupid phone would've woken him up.

Hey, Sonny, The text from Maisie says, Callum has a hockey game and wanted to know if you and your boyfriend wanted to join us! It's free! xxx

I gulp. I'd love to go, spend a little time like the old days, with my friends. The problem is, Chad seemed really observant of Callum. Sadly, I don't think he likes him.

Chad was really tired last night, and I don't want to wake him. But this could be cool! A chance to be alone with my friends once more – I don't want to spend every waking moment with Chad. Sorry if that sounded mean, but what I mean is, maybe we should spend a little time apart. He can maybe spend time with his little sister and brother while I go out to this match. And who knows, maybe Chad won't even wake up till I get back.

I'm gonna come. I text her, Chad is busy helping to sort Melanie's wedding. Pick me up in a minute!

Kk, she texts back, I'll see you then!

I peek outside to see it's still snowing, so I get changed, putting my coat over the top, before leaving Chad a note.

9:50 - Heya, Chad. I'm just going out with the girls to a hockey match (I don't dare to mention Callum) and Abby and Josh are alone today. Do you wanna do the babysitting for today? I'll be at Melanie's by lunch. Sonny xxx

I tuck the note under the palm of his hand, hoping he'll notice it (well, why wouldn't he?) before quietly sneaking out the door.

When I get to the lobby, Maisie, Lucy, and the others are stood waiting.

"So, Chad's not coming?" Soph asks. I nod, and she pumps her fists, miming 'yes'.

"OK, that's my boyfriend you're talking about." I say, motioning her to shut up by miming a zip, and she does so.

Lucy smiles, "Well, the match is half ten, so let's go!"

Chad's POV

I wake up, looking at the clock. Eleven o'clock. Wow, I've slept in, even for myself. I stretch a little.

"Man, I really shouldn't have had that extra helping of cheese." I say to Sonny as my stomach bloats, guessing she'll be awake being the early (or at least, earlier than me) riser she is.

No reply.

"Sonny?" I ask.

Nothing.

"…Sonny?" I repeat, getting up, when I hear a scrunching and feel something in my hand. I look at it…a note. Maybe it's from Sonny. I read it.

9:50 - Heya, Chad. I'm just going out with the girls to a hockey match and Abby and Josh are alone today. Do you wanna do the babysitting for today? I'll be at Melanie's by lunch. Sonny xxx

I blink, the words slowly sinking in. She's going out…with the girls? To a hockey match?

I suddenly remember, she mentioned going to a hockey match yesterday, or at least to play. I assume that since I said no she decided to go without me. That hurts a little.

But then, she has a point. I should go hang with my siblings. I haven't spent time with them since we reached Wisconsin; it's been all about Sonny and Chris and Melanie. Now I'm gonna spend a day away from Sonny. She's right. We should spend a little time apart, we don't wanna be the couple attached at the hip from dawn till dusk.

Then something hits me like a ton of bricks.

Hockey…Sonny said Callum played hockey…is Callum maybe in this match? Even worse…is Sonny going just to see Callum? My heart starts to race and I wonder…is Sonny cheating on me? Or is she getting bored of me? Maybe she's getting bored of California altogether.

Then another thing hits me, even harder than the previous. Is that maybe the whole reason Sonny's here? Because she's bored of California and wants to move back?

My heart hits the floor, and I run straight down the stairs. I ask the guy at reception if she knows where he went, and he tells me the directions. I then get in my car and speed to the hockey pitch.

How could she?

Then I stop myself from thinking that, slowing down the car in case I get caught. Calm down, Chad. I think, don't jump to conclusions. You're being ridiculous. You need evidence first. Everyone's innocent until proven guilty…

I head straight to the hockey pitch, to prove to myself that Sonny still loves me, because I know it. Even though there's a feeling eating away at my heart that I need to wake up and smell the roses, because it's true that she wants to come back home. All this time since we arrived, she's love it. A lot. Everything we've done has made her happy, so maybe she really does want to live back in Wisconsin…

I don't listen to that part of my mind though, as I cruise along the road, avoiding fans who notice me for the first time since I arrived here. Why do nice things show up when you least want them to?

I arrive at the hockey pitch, hoping, praying, that everything is fine.

Everything is fine, everything is fine, everything is fine, everything is…
