Broken Strings-Leondre Devries

6. I'm sorry

Sonny's POV

I climb out of bed and throw on my grey pink running shorts, and my white homemade bars and Melody t-shirt. I stumble into the bathroom and brush my teeth, clean up my face and and sort my make up, today isn't as stressful as Saturdays, only have athletics. Tonight at 6, going to Five Guys will not be great at all.... I can feel it, especially since I haven't seen Tilly or Victoria, Karen and Brooke in so long, gosh: what if they think I've changed into some psycho? What if they think my make up isn't on point, what if-
"Sonia, are you ready to leave for athletics? We're going in five!" I heard my mum say, thank God she interrupted my thoughts.
I grab my bag from my bedroom floor and flt down the stairs, ready to go. My mum and the twins walk out in front of me, with my mum holding my breakfast and lunch. I sit in the car with my bag on my lap and my phone in my pocket at the front of the car. After we're all buckled in, we set off to our first stop: athletics!
"Bye mum." I shout and shut the door and my mum drives off. Running, I trip over my shoe lace and slide on the floor, but I didn't hit the ground. I look up to see Charlie holding me up. "Caught ya." He smiles, he lifts me up and I smarten my clothing. "That was er, quite a fall, Sonia. Are you okay?" He questions, suddenly the smile on his face is wiped out with concern and worry. " I'm fine, just a bit clumsy you know. How did you know I was going to be here? Are you like stalking me or something?" I giggle. He raises an eyebrow and chuckles, "Sonny, Leo doesn't stop talking about you, he knows what you do and when you were available, and I've lived here for a very long time, I know what places you could've been at." I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, "Okay, but that doesn't answer my question, what are you doing?" I repeat, slightly annoyed at Leo talking about me and not making the effort all this time to see me. "Oh right, I'm just wondering if you wanted to hang for the day, you know, before we all go to Five Guys." He asks, I raise my eyebrows once again, and squint my eyes. "I thought that since you're off tour, you'd be with Chloe?" He sighs and looks at me, "I would be but she's busy for a while, family stuff..." I look at him in disbelief. "Since when Chazza, you've always stood by her, even when we were rude to her." Now it was his turn to look at me weirdly, "What?" I question, "We haven't talked since the day Leo and I went and you still know how to read me?" He asked shocked, I shake my head. "So er, are you willing to stay and watch me run?" I ask, changing the subject. "I'll watch you, then if you don't mind, can we go grab lunch together?" He answers. "Yeah sure, but I choose the place, I don't trust your opinions." He walks to the door and I check the time. "Sugar, bro sugalir!" I whisper. "Is everything okay, Sonny?" Charlie asks me. "I'm good, but I'm late,I've never been late before and now I am, she's gonna make me do 500 sit-ups, 400 crunches and 500 squats. I mean it's not that bad. Because I've done- " Charlie cuts me off, "You're late, Sonia." He states, trying not to laugh. I huff in response and we walk in. Charlie sits down as I place my bag next to him and I jog to the track, realising that there's two new teachers. "I'm sorry I'm late Mr.." I start, but not able to recognise the 1st man. "Hello, Sonia, isn't it?" I nod, "Well I'm Jack, your new coach." He smiles, gosh he does seem to be quite hot, dark brown eyes and brown hair that goes into a quiff and the other guy has blonde hair, blue eyes and slightly smaller than Jack with spots, but he looks extremely hot, "I'm also Jack, but you can call me J and Jack G. Simple." We all laugh. "Right,we're gonna start off with 3 gentle jogs around the track, we want to see how you are." G starts off, "Then we'll work out some techniques on how to become better." J finishes. He grabs out a stereo player and plays some killer tunes, I smile to myself and we all walk to the track. We're all in position: I have Josh (yeah my bully) and Karen (who I don't talk to much) next to me. I pat my knees getting ready to start. J blows the whistle and we all start running, me being me, I zone out and speed past everyone, enjoying the music, What do You Mean. After 3 jogs everyone comes out of breath, with their backs crouched and hands on these knees. "Great work guys. Now we're gonna do some breathing techniques. So everyone breathe in out." J says. We put our hands over heads and breathe.
It's been about an hour and now it's time to leave, "Well done guys, see you next week. Sonia can you stay behind?" G asks, I turn my heels and reluctantly walk back to them. "Sonia, are you okay, you seem a little off?" I pull a fake smile and reply, "Im great, just a stressed that's all, don't sweat bout it." He chuckles and pats my shoulder, "If you need anything we're here okay?" He reassures, "You betcha." I say back. He smiles and turns to walk over to J and I swing over to Charlie. "Jesus, Leo was right." He smiles, "You're pretty fast." I chuckle and answer back, "thank ya." We walked towards the main entrance of the building, and crossed the road, to the main Street. "I'm choosing, right Chazza?" I asked, whilst nudging him, "Yeah, but it better be a good one, Sonny. I remember the last time, you chose to eat at Mc Donalds over Nandos! That was not called for, especially it was our last me- I mean, you know. I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring that back up." Charlie stumbles, "Hey, I'm not gonna choose a bad one, we can grab a subway and stop by at Starbucks, yeah? And don't worry about him, he's just got other people to be concerned about, not me. We're not close and it was his choice to leave me." I whisper, I pull another fake smile and we continue to stroll up to Subways.

Later on that day

"Charlie hurry up! I've gotta put on my make up" I shout through my bathroom door. He's been in there for what seems like days, we only have 20 minutes till we leave.
"Okay okay," he shouts back and seconds later, he struts out, he's wearing a black t-shirt with red roses at the bottom and ripped skinny jeans, his blonde hair is combed perfectly and wearing his white vans.
"Damn Charlie, Chloe has a good
"Well, I try," He laughs back, "loving the outfit tho" he smiles and I pose, he embraces me into a hug, "Sonia, don't pull yourself down, okay. You're beautiful and I think Leondre is missing out. Also, I need to talk to you when we get back okay?"
I take a long pause, I'm scared to know what he wants to say to me
"Erm-"
"Sonia, Charlie? We're going now, are you ready?" My mum shouts

Phew saved by mum
