A/N: This is my first ever SWAC fanfic, so don't flame me please =)

In love...

Sonny Monroe stared at herself in the mirror, smiling. Her hair was falling naturally onto her shirt, which was just a plain dark blue. Her cheeks held a slight flush and she wore no makeup. In her mind she looked happy, because that's how she felt. She turned away from the image with a bounce in her step and began to bob down the steps of Chad's Beverly Hills home. She was on her way to meet Chad, it was their one year anniversary and she felt simply euphoric. She and Chad were more in love than ever and to Sonny, it felt great.

When she reached the door, she gave the doorman a big smile. She did the same for the limo driver, even slipping him a twenty dollar bill. As she rode toward the small park where she and Chad had had their first date so many months ago, she thought about how perfect her life had been since that very day. The song playing on the radio was saying "So far, so great" and that is exactly how Sonny felt.

They arrived shortly, and Sonny stepped out of the limo. She took in a breath of fresh air before striding confidently into the field that was dotted with cottonwoods. A giant smile grew on her face and her heart swelled when she spotted Chad. He was leaning against her favorite tree, dressed just as casual as she was. She ran over to him, the feeling never wavering.

"Hey." She breathed, giving him a hug and a peck on the lips.

"A peck?" he asked, like he was insulted. She shook her head at him, and then jumped into a full on kiss. There lips connecting brought on an electrical surge, just like every other kiss they'd shared. He pulled back after a few seconds. "Aren't we eager," he said, laughing.

"Whatever Chad," she said lightheartedly.

"Happy anniversary," he said smiling, with the identical flush in his cheeks that Sonny had. He pulled a rose out from behind his back. "I love you Sonny," he whispered, more seriously. Sonny took the rose and twirled it in her fingers twice, bubbling over with happiness.

"I love you to, Chad Dylan Cooper," she whispered, throwing her arms around him.

"Mmm," he sighed. About a minute later he spoke again. "Shall we walk? It's a beautiful night." He let her go, keeping her hand.

"Let's." They walked hand in hand for about two hours, reminiscing about the past year and talking about the future. All the while each one enjoying every minute of it.

"Sonny?" Chad said, stopping in a spot where the trees were absent and the sky was shining with tiny silver slivers.

"Yes," Sonny said, he voice wavering at Chad's strange tone.

"I have to tell you something." He sighed, looking down at their intertwined hands.

"What is it Chad?" Sonny said, concern covering her voice.

"It's just that…" he trailed off. "You're not going to want to hear this."

"Chad, are you breaking up with me?" Sonny said weakly, her eyes widening.

"No, no. But you might want to--"

She cut him off. "I would never—"

"Wait, just let me tell you first." Chad was very serious now, his eyes hard.

"Alright." Sonny was on the verge of tears.

"I cheated on you, way back in the first month we dated." He paused, but the words hadn't sunk into Sonny's mind yet. They stood for a moment, and then the words poured out of Chad's mouth. "With Tawni. Originally we were together first. She wanted me to go on a date with you as a joke, to sort of bring you up and then crush you. She was jealous of you." Sonny's mouth was hanging open. "And so I did it, but then… But then I started to really fall for you. And now… Now I really do love you." He looked up at her, for the first time during the whole conversation. His eyes now shone with regret and remorse. But that wasn't enough for Sonny, and it was a few seconds before she found the ability to speak.

"Are you sure about that Chad?! Or is this all a big lie?!" She yelled, tears streaming down her heartbroken face. "You know I really thought you were a good guy. I really thought that you loved me. And now it was all for nothing, a whole year for nothing! Well you've accomplished one thing at least; you're a hell of a good actor. You sure had me fooled." And with that she ran away from Chad, away from the park and the starry night, away from her life that had just crumbled to the ground.

"Sonny!" Chad yelled after her, but she was already gone.
