This is another random idea of mine! I own nothing but the plot. I like to say my disclaimer like that because I get to say I own something :P
Enjoy!
One Wish
Chapter 1 – Dying Wish
"I have only one wish." The elderly man says in a raspy voice, barely heard over the beeping machinery around him. Sonny Munroe sits silently by her grandfather's side, as tears roll down her cheeks.
"What is it, dad?" Sonny's mother, Connie, asks the dying man – her father.
"Invite in…the Coopers…" He replies, sounding weaker with every word. Sonny automatically looks up from the floor, on hearing the name 'Cooper'. It surely couldn't be him – Cooper is a popular surname, right? Besides, she'd heard about her mother's friend, Mrs Cooper. It could be her. It doesn't have to be anybody from Chad's family.
"I'll go." Sonny's father says, getting up and leaving the room. He returns about a minute later, followed by Mr and Mrs Cooper, and their only son, Chad. Sonny lets out an accidental gasp, on seeing her rival here. How does her grandfather know them?
"Chad…come here…" The man's voice is barely a whisper now. Chad obeys, slightly confused. Sonny looks at the pained look on her grandfather's face, as he moves his hands to hold theirs. "Sonny, Chad, I – I want…you two…to promise me…something." They both nod, listening intently. "My last wish…is for you both to marry each other." Sonny and Chad exchange confused looks, and turn back to the old man on the hospital bed. "Promise me." He moves again, so the two shocked celebrities' hands touch. He moves his own back, and sighs weakly. "Quickly."
"I can't marry her!"Chad yells, at the same time as Sonny yells, "I can't marry him!"
"It is my only wish…" And with those final words, the colour drains from the dying man's face, leaving him cold and lifeless.
