Chapter 6: Love is a Battlefield!

"What?" Sonny said, surprised as she looked at Chad.

"Oh, so you do think you and Sonny have some chemistry?" Tyra asked, grateful for this one piece of truth.

"I was on her show about a month ago—"

"Chad, don't start with that now!" Sonny pleaded.

"Let me finish, Sonny. Every girl I've ever co-starred with has fallen in love with me. I'm sure Portlyn even used to feel it, back when we were first beginning and we weren't so close. I told Sonny she would fall for me too." Chad looked at Sonny as she rolled her eyes at him and crossed her arms, "but the only thing I didn't count on, was that…I would fall for her too." Sonny eyes drifted up to his. She was very surprised to hear this come from Chad. She remembered that sketch very well. It was secretly her favorite sketch, even if she hadn't figured it out until now. She realized that his eyes really did dazzle her and she really had wanted to kiss him. She remembered the electricity she felt when her and Chad got close. She thought she imagined it, but now she noticed she felt it still, as he was looking in her eyes. And by the way he was looking at her, she could guess that he felt it too. Neither of them paid any attention to Tyra, or anyone for that matter. The only thing they took notice to was each other. The two moved closer…would they kiss or would they snap out of it…

"FIRE!!!" Portlyn yelled. And this was no trick. A fire could be seen behind the curtains.

The girls began to scream as they ran from their seats and down the stairs, completely forgetting Chad Dylan Cooper. Chad grumbled at being interrupted just loud enough for Sonny to hear. She half smiled as Chad took her hand and pulled her toward his cast and out through the nearest exit.

By the time the group reached the outside, head counts were already being taken and firefighters were already making their way in. The man, Sam, came up to them.

"There you all are! We have all been worried sick about you! We didn't know what happened to you all!"

"We're here." Said Chad.

"Good. We are going to finish the interview once the fireman gives us the ok, which should be any minute." He began to speak into his headset as he walked away.

Sonny looked at Portlyn, "I know you didn't do it for me, but thank you."

"Any friend of Chad's is a friend of mine." She said, sincerely

"Me and Chad aren't friends."

"Are you really going to go and say we aren't friends, even after all that happened today, Sonny?" Chad asked, upset.

"Chad. It was just a fault. We let our guards down, that's all. All that fighting we do, it built up in the wrong way."

"Sonny, were you even listening to a word I said? I have fallen for you."

"Chad, can you honestly tell me I should believe you after everything that has happened?"

"Yes! I'm being sincere!"

"How can I believe you? You'll love any girl, Chad. Why would you love me?" Sonny said, as she stalked away, leaving Chad dumbfounded.

How about that? What did you think?
