United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

Chapter 11

~Sonny's Home~

The light from the window lit up the room giving it an amber glow, Sonny slowly opens his eyes to peer at the clock which showed the time as 8:08 am, Sonny was in the guest room he couldn't bring himself into sharing a bed with Mary after that argument, they hadn't spoke that whole evening and Mary went out without him that evening which was probably best for the both of them Sonny told himself.  

Sonny watched the light from the sun dance around the room. Today was the first day of the show, he was going to be singing with his former partner, the person who he used to depend on but had now grew apart from only to be bought back together again.

He dragged himself out of his bed and stood in front of the bathroom mirror, he continued to splash his face with water and patting it dry but gently around the cut that Mary had left him with, he sighed at himself in the mirror.   

...

After getting somewhat ready it was time for Sonny to leave and his stomach dropped at the thought that he was going to tell Mary that he was going he hated leaving arguments unresolved but he really had no choice. 

He gently tapped the bedroom door where Mary was asleep and then entered.

"I'm going now Mary, I'll ring you when I'm on my way home." He said sheepishly.

Mary turned to face him him and she took his hand. "I am sorry about yesterday, you just need to understand where I am coming from."

"I do... but you have to see where I am coming from as well, this needs to be a two way thing." She pulled her hand away from Sonny's.

"You should tell Cher that then two way, me and you, not you and her in any other way then professionally." Mary snapped.

"Whatever Mary, your being pathetic now. I went to see my child that's literally it. Cher has nothing to do with anything."

"Pathetic!? If anyone is pathetic it's Cher crawling back to you for comfort because her relationship and her career is going to shit." Mary responded with anger.

"Oh shut up, I need to go I am going to be late, I need my make up done to cover up the mess you made of my face." Sonny said leaving the room. 

"I am sure Cher could kiss it better don't you worry." Mary said out of spite.

Not bothering to respond to Mary, he got in his car and left to the studios.

~The studio~

"Right, all you have to do is go out and do what you rehearsed at home, all your doing today is talking to Sonny on the stage, no live audience its just practice." said Nat, Cher's long term make up artist who was delicately placing Cher's false eyelashes on.

"I know, just a bit nerve-racking, I feel like I'm starting out all over again." Cher said playing with the rings on her fingers.

"Not to be rude and you can tell me to shut up if you want, but your being a bit stupid, it's just the dress rehearsal for the live performance, you've still got to record all the little skits so you have so much time and now isn't the time for nerves its rehearsals." Nat stood back allowing for Cher to look in the mirror.

"Yeah well I guess your right but it doesn't change how I feel, but your art work  however now that changes how I feel." Cher said referring to the make up Nat had applied.

"You like?" Nat questioned.

"I love." Cher said standing up,

"Right go get your clothes on and get your ass out the door." Nat said smiling as she left and Cher wondered into the closet in her dressing room.
