Summary: "After you left, she gave me this lecture about how I was too young to be in love and that you would probably hurt me." Sonny laughed. "Too bad it's them hurting me."

AN: First time writing…tell me what you think.

Do you ever feel like me?
(Like me)
Yeah the walls are closing in
Between, just breathe
(Just breathe) (With me)
I wait every single moment of every day just to see your face
Why can't they let us be?
Yeah!

Chad was placing duffle bags and suitcases in the back seat of his car. This is what we need. He thought. A week from everyone who doesn't want to see us.

Sonny and Chad had begun dating a little over four months ago and everyday they put up with the annoying and constant heckling of their cast mates. The cast of Mackenzie Falls was ten times worse than the cast of So Random! But it hurt Sonny to think that the people she considered to be her family didn't approve of her relationship.

Chad and Sonny were deeply in love and had finally given into their feelings and ended the long phase of their bickering. The young couple fell hard and fast and neither of them cared.

Surprisingly, Tawni had come up with the idea of the little road trip. In fact, she was the only person at Condor Studios who actually encouraged Sonny and Chad to stay together. She approved of the relationship, and for that, Sonny was eternally thankful and shocked.

Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh
It's us against the world
Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh
It's us against the world
I'm never letting go
Come on lets run away
Just take me by the hand
We will make it
Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh
It's us against the world

"You got everything?" Chad asked Sonny asked as she came out the studio, after turning in her sketch ideas for the next week into Marshall. She nodded quietly and stepped into Chad's loving embrace. The past month had been a lot for the two.

FLASHBACK

Sonny and Chad were in Chad's dressing room watching a movie, snuggled up on the couch when Russell burst through the door without knocking. The happy couple sat up and looked at the intruder.

"Can you knock?" Chad asked rudely.

Russell stared at the two before speaking. "So, what Portlyn says is true, you are dating someone from So Random! How could you lower yourself to date someone like that?" Russell sneered while glaring at Sonny, who turned her face to bury it into Chad's shoulder. Chad pulled her close to him and looked at Russell.

"Is there something I can help you with?"Chad asked, with forced politeness.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that only cast members of Mackenzie Falls are allowed in Studio 2 from now on. So, you young lady, must leave." Russell said pointing at Sonny.

Sonny stood up, only to have Chad pull her back down. "You can't do that."

"Yes I can, I believe, Sonny is it? Is distracting you from your work."

"Chad let's just leave, we'll go back to my dressing room."

The couple walked to the set of So Random, hoping to make it to Sonny's dressing room without any run ins with anybody…but of course that couldn't happen.

The two ran into Nico and Grady. "Hey Sonny! Oh, you brought Chad along. Sonny…"

Sonny cut them off with her tears and her mad sprint down the hall. Chad glared at the two before taking off after her. He finally found her in her dressing room crying on the couch, being comforted by Tawni.

"Shh…Sonny. I know you guys are in love, and as strange as this is for me to say, you can hang out in our dressing room whenever you want."

END FLASHBACK

The couple was shocked when Tawni so openly accepted them when nobody else did.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Sonny whispered, pulling away.

Ask me once and I'll leave
everything for you
Just say the word, you'll see
(You'll see with me)
I wait every single moment of everyday just to see your face
Why can't they let us be?
Yeah!

They had been on the road for about a half an hour when Sonny finally spoke. "You know what annoys me the most? My mother couldn't be happy for me." Now, this confused Chad. He thought Sonny's mom loved him, she was so nice at the dinner they all had. "After you left, she gave me this lecture about how I was too young to be in love and that you would probably hurt me." Sonny laughed. "Too bad it's them hurting me."

Chad reached over and grabbed her hand and held it tight. He hadn't known that her mother didn't approve of their relationship.

Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh
It's us against the world
Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh

It's us against the world
I'm never letting go
Come on lets run away
Just take me by the hand
We will make it
Oh-oh oh oh-oh oh oh
It's us against the world

It was close to midnight when Chad pulled into the hotel parking lot. Sonny had long since fallen asleep, keeping a firm grip on Chad's hand and his sweatshirt that was wrapped tightly around her small frame. Chad quickly ran in and checked in before returning to carry Sonny to their room. After that he grabbed the bags and finally settled into the bed next to his one true love.

Although Chad was comfortable, he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of what Sonny had told him. He knew she was getting the worst end of the deal. She valued what her cast mates a So Random! thought and them not approving, especially Zora (who would've thought such a little girl could say such hurtful things), hurt her.

FLASHBACK

Sonny and Chad were sitting alone at a table in the cafeteria, talking quietly. Tawni walked over and sat down and the three began to talk animatedly, when Zora walked over.

"Sonny, how could you? You know the rivalry that goes on between our shows! You're like sleeping with the enemy. And I wouldn't use that as a figure of speech, I bet you are sleeping together. And I bet his goal is to get you pregnant and then leave you!"

Sonny and Tawni gasped while Chad tried to keep his cool. Sonny had tears in her eyes and before her of Chad could retaliate, someone else did.

"Listen up, and listen up good. Why can't you guys see that Chad and Sonny really care about each other? So what if our shows are competing against each other for ratings? You can't keep true love apart." Tawni declared before storming away.

After that day, the three teens began eating in Sonny and Tawni's dressing room.

END FLASHBACK

Chad's thoughts were interrupted when Sonny began mumbling.

"No, that's not true. Stop taking my picture." She pulled herself closer to him and buried her head in his chest.

Chad understood; the paparazzi were getting increasingly bad. The studio was always constantly, to the point where the two would spend the night in their dressing rooms just to avoid being mobbed.

FLASHBACK

Sonny stood near the door looking at the large crowd of people and the bright flashes. She was done for the day and desperately wanted to go home and sleep, but the thought of facing the vultures was not appealing.

She sighed and turned around. She headed back down the hall and into her dressing room. She went to the closet in search of a pillow and blanket.

Chad was walking happily down the hall, he had obviously not seen the mob outside yet, heard something or someone moving things around in his girlfriend's dressing room. He stepped into the room and saw Sonny making a makeshift bed on her couch.

"Whatchya doing?" Chad asked casually, leaning against the door frame.

"Making a bed so I can spend the night here and not face the giant mob." She said matter-of-factly.

Chad looked at her strangely. "There's a mob? Of what? Fans?" He asked dumbly.

"No," she said smugly. "Paparazzi."

That's all it took. "Oh"

"And I don't want to hear how we're not meant to be together or that we have a publicity only relationship."

"I see, well I guess I have to camp out with you, come on." He said, laying on the couch first.

"Jerk."

"Yours forever to call a jerk."

END FLASHBACK

Chad smiled. He loved holding Sonny in her sleep. He knew that nothing mattered but Sonny—and as long as they were together they were happy.

Yeah we're racing

Yeah we're racing
Far away from here
Yeah we'll make it

Yeah we'll make it
We'll get there
Yeah we're racing (racing, racing)
Far away from here
Yeah we'll make it
We'll make it and we'll get there.

So, I don't know—what do you think? I know it's cliché I guess and probably over done.

Review and let me know what you think.
