~ Chapter One ~

Sonny slid down the wall, biting down on her lower lip as hard as she could, still trying to stop herself from crying, because she, Sonny Munroe, does not cry. She is happy, she could always be found with a huge grin on her face. Crying had never been her thing, it hurt too much.

For her, smiling was easier than ever admitting that you're in pain, laughing was a lot easier than breaking down but today, just for today, Sonny let the tears fall from her eyes, mixing with the rain that fell from the dark clouds above her, perfectly reflecting her mood.

She drew her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms tight around them, digging her long nails into her legs as she tried her best to stop the tears. She silently cursed herself for letting Chad Dylan Cooper get to her again, but she had never cried before, she had wanted to of course, but she had refused to.

The tears could only mean one thing, the one thing she would never admit to anyone. She sighed, feeling droplets of blood dripping down her bare legs, she looked down at them for a moment as her whole body shook when the cold finally registered in her mind. She put her head down on her knees, telling herself to stop crying, wishing it would just be that easy.

She thought back to the moment when she had stared right into those sparkly, blue eyes, wanting nothing more than to kiss him right then, only for him to ruin everything as usual with his stupid, insensitive comments. It wasn't anything she didn't expect from him, they constantly fought with each other, mean comments here and there, but today she had let him get to her and she knew why.

She bit down on her lip again, willing the tears to just stop so she could get up and forget this ever happened. She wanted to smile again, she wanted to pretend to be constantly happy, right now she was weak and vulnerable and she hated that more than anything.

She didn't hear him call her name, she didn't see him as he looked down at her tiny, shaking body as she curled herself up against a wall outside the studios. She hardly felt him wrap his coat around her freezing cold body. When she looked up though her brown eyes met his blue eyes, watching as he held out a hand to her, a gentle and kind smile playing on his lips as his eyes filled with guilt and concern.

She had never thought she would see the day when Chad Dylan Cooper thought about someone other than himself. She thought it was actually impossible for the boy. She looked at his hand for a moment, before deciding that she would rather take it than sit down, soaked to the skin. Not a word passed between the two as he grabbed her hand, neither of them wanting the other to pull away as she stood up, their eyes met, neither of them wanting to look away.

Chad looked at the girl, staring at the blood that dripped from her lips, those beautiful, perfect lips. He knew he had been the one to break Sonny Munroe, he knew he had pushed her too far, as he always did with people. He pushed everyone away until there was nobody left because it was easier that way. If there was no one to care about then there would be nobody to hurt him, and Chad had always been one to avoid getting hurt.

They both stood there in the rain, just looking at each other, uncertain what to say or do for a moment, Chad finally lifted up his spare hand – his other one was still connected in hers – his fingers lightly dancing along her cheekbones for a while before they found their way to her lips, her eyes filled with confusion before he gently wiped at the blood. He sighed when he realized some of it had dried into her milky skin, he looked around for a moment before realizing that he didn't even care if anyone saw this.

And that was when Chad decided that he didn't want to push Sonny away, he had always run from getting hurt and as he looked down at the fragile girl, he realized that he didn't want to run away any more, not from her anyway.

He lowered his head a little, his lips grazing hers before she closed her eyes, her hand let go of his as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him a little closer to her. Their lips lingered for a second longer before Chad finally kissed her, he pulled her in impossibly closer to him as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Pulling her in for the one kiss he knew neither of them could ever forget, his tongue found it's way through the small parting in her lips, his blue eyes closed as he could feel the electricity that passed between them.

Yes, today was the day both of them realized that they loved each other.
