Here is the last chapter for you! I hope you enjoy it :)

Chapter 4: About being afraid of rejection

"So what are we going to do now?", Sonny asked.

"Huh?", Chad looked confused.

"Til we get out of here", the brunette added.

"Oh, well, I will run through my lines again", Chad told her, grabbing his script.

"Oh, yeah, sure...", Sonny nodded, sighing in boredom.

After looking around the room, she soon began rocking back and forth, humming to herself.

When Chad noticed that , he grinned.

"You want to help me?", he offered, still smirking.

"Sure!", the comedienne replied, relieved that she got to do something.

"Here." Chad handed Sonny his script.

She looked at him expectantly.

"I think I have my lines memorized now; you can read Chloe's, okay?", he explained.

"Alright", Sonny nodded, then she began reading the first line dramatically:

"Mackenzie! You're finally back! -", then she broke off and started laughing.

"Sorry", she choked, after meeting Chad's glance.

"This is exactly why you 'comedians' aren't actors. You can't stay serious."

"Then tell me how you can stay serious when you act like you're surprised that Mackenzie reappeared after he had gotten lost for the second time; that's not even realistic!", Sonny demanded.

"You're right; it's not realistic", Chad agreed," but you have to put yourself in Chloe's situation."

"What does her situation look like?", Sonny wanted to know.

"Well, the person she's in love with, Mackenzie, was missing. She was so worried that she couldn't think straight and now he's finally back. During his absence she planned to tell him how she feels, but now she is afraid of rejection."

"Wow. This is quite much to think about. But there is one thing I don't understand", Sonny admitted.

"And what?", Chad asked.

"How can she be afraid of rejection? I mean it is so obvious that Mackenzie is in love with her.- And yeah, I've watched some episodes of Mackenzie Falls!"

"Just because you and everyone else who watches Mackenzie Falls-"

"I haven't watched it for a long time", the brunette interjected.

"Fine", Chad rolled his eyes," Just because everyone who watches Mackenzie Falls can see that Chloe and Mackenzie are in love with each other, doesn't mean that Chloe and Mackenzie can see that. It's way easier for outsiders to see something like that than for the ones who are involved."

"Wow. This is deep. But do you really think that the involved ones are so oblivious? I mean, shouldn't they be the first to see what's going on?", Sonny asked, truly interested.

"Well, they should. But it's not always so easy", Chad said, suddenly seeming to feel uncomfortable.

"Not? I mean, why shouldn't you know if someone likes you?"

"I don't know...", Chad stuttered," Sometimes people hide behind fa?ades."

"But that's stupid. Why shouldn't they show their real feelings?", the brunette asked, wrinkling her forehead.

"I don't know... Maybe they're afraid of getting rejected, like Chloe", the blonde actor shrugged.

"Hmm, that makes sense", Sonny admitted.

"Yeah? I mean, sure!", Chad responded, relieved.

"Maybe I understand why you are a good actor."

"You mean, greatest actor of-"

"Don't ruin it", Sonny interrupted.

"Sorry. Old habits die hard.", Chad grinned sheepishly,"But why do you suddenly understand that I'm a good actor?"

"You're quite good at putting yourself in other people' situations", she explained.

"Ehm, thank you", Chad replied.

"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome; can we start now? I'm not going to laugh, I promise."

"Alright", he nodded.

This time Sonny said her line without laughing at it; and she was quite good, but Chad would have never admitted that aloud.

Just when it was his turn, he heard footsteps coming closer.

"Oh, I guess, they're going to let us out, finally", Chad announced, taking a look at his watch.

"Mhhm,... finally", Sonny agreed, but not sounding very convincingly, what surprised Chad.

Before he could ask her why, the footsteps stopped and they both knew that Zora and the others were listening if they were still fighting.

Sonny and Chad stayed silent, not knowing what to say.

"Have they killed each other?", Grady's fear filled voice sounded from behind the door.

Now both of the captured had to laugh.

"Doesn't sound that way", Zora's creepy voice replied.

"Why don't you just open the door and look?", Chad suggested, still smirking.

"Fine, it seems like you are getting along like before", Zora gave in and unlocked the door.

The trapped ones hurried to the door, but got stopped by the youngest Random!.

"We're willing to do this again", she threatened.

"Yeah, yeah, we know", Chad said, rolling his eyes.

"Good for you", the weird girl responded, then she turned around and left, with Tawni, Nico and Grady following her.

"We have rehearsal now", the Mackenzie Falls crew said, than leaving also.

"This Zora is creepy", Chad murmured.

"She is just ... special", Sonny defended her cast mate.

"If you like to call it that", Chad smirked.

Sonny grinned back.

Then she cleared her throat:" Well, I have to go now. Rehearsal."

"Oh, yeah, sure. I will see you Monday", Chad nodded.

"Yeah. Bye." Then Sonny turned around and left in direction of stage 3.

"I'm going to cut the line on Wednesday!", Chad shouted after her.

"Deal!", he heard the brunette responding.

Grinning, Chad went into his dressing room and ran through his lines one more time.
