A/N: Hey guys! I was listening to this song and thought of this amazing, but sad, story I could do with it so if you want to read a sad Channy fiction then keep reading but if you want them to be in love in the end…sorry, but an author is allowed one sad story. Ok so the print in Italics is a flashback and the regular is her singing the song to an audience.

"I welcome famous singer, Sonny Munroe!" He cries as Sonny runs out waving.
"I'm gonna sing a song for you guys." She says shakily.
Sonny barely makes it into her front door, before she falls on the ground sobbing.
Each moment thinking about it, makes the pain so much worse.
"Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay"
"Let's stay in tonight." Chad says to Sonny flashing his signature smile.
Sonny gives a big smile.
"There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction"
"Sonny…I have to ask you something…" Chad says taking her hand.
Suddenly from behind them coming from a alley, gun shots are fired…
"Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins"
Chad pushes Sonny out of the way as the shots get closer.
Sonny keeps her head down until she hears no more noise.
"Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight"
"I think their gone Chad…" Sonny whispers.
No answer. She lifts her head.
Chad lays face first on the street, blood seeping from his body.
"No!" Sonny screams running to his body.
"In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear"
She flips him over to see his face drained of color.
"Chad! Don't worry! I'm calling the police! Hold on." She sobs.
"You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there"
Chad closes the phone shakily with his hand. He stares right into her eyes placing a velvet box in her palm.
Sobbing Sonny opens it to reveal a ring. She cries harder. "Oh no. Chad! Don't…"
"So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back"
"Tell me…" He whispers.
"Yes!" She whispers.
"And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference"
He smiles weakly. "I love…" His head falls limp.
Sonny falls apart in that very moment. "NO! Please! Don't leave me!"
"Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees"
The heavens open and let a hard rain fall over her head.
She cries. "No! Come back…I love you! You can't leave me!"
"In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie"
Sonny lies in the street all night. She lays her head on his chest crying. "Take me with you."
"You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here"
She steps away from the mic tears falling from her eyes.
Leaving the concert, rain falls from the sky. People scatter and cry.
Sonny looks up smiling. "I love you too."
