So there I was, sitting bored out of my mind at my sister's baylor college orientation when this idea came to me(; So I got out my phone and typed it ALL up on the little notes section, (which was extremely tedious and very time-consuming) then I went back to the hotel and somehow managed to coax the computer to let me get iternet(; so all in all, I put alot of work into this! haha(;
It's going to be a two-shot, I decided so there will be another chapter after this(:
Oh, and please don't hate me for writing this and not updating You Belong With Me. I mean, what can I say? When the plot bunnies bite, the plot bunnes bite.
Haha lol, so here you go! (:
Sonny POV
The dazzling blue water sparkled like diamonds in the warm summer sun. Lushious green foilage surronded the small pond like a well haircut framed a face. At the northern end of the body of water there was a steep cliff, at least thirty-five feet high, that water poured out of, resulting in a breath-taking waterfall. The whole scene was just stunning. Every time I went here, which I saced only for the seldom days in which I had to escape in fear that I would blow up, the beauty never failed to soothe me.
I sighed contently, already feeling the muscles in my neck beginning to unwind. I only come here when I'm having a horrible day, or if I'm just terribly stressed.
Right now, it's a little bit of both.
First off, my alarm was being stupid and didn't go off, resulting in me waking up at eleven o'clock in the morning, making me a whooping two hours late for work. Then, after confronting my Mom and asking why she didn't wake me, we got into a huge fight on how I should "be accountable for my actions" and "take responsibility."
So as if my morning didn't turn out bad enough, I was yelled at by Marshall (I never knew he had it in him). This made Tawni go off into another "I'm-so-much-better-than-you" rants (yeah, as if she's never been late before) which made me blow my top and yell at her. Tawni, of course, jumped at the chance to fight with me, so we started, well, practically screaming at each other till eventually she left, (but not before declaring that I was stupid and that she hated me).
So by then I was in such a bad mood that I could kill an optomist just by looking at them. And of course, I can never get any alone time at the studio, because Zora barged into my dressing room, demanding to know why Tawni was burning pictures of me.
Now, don't think that I'm a jerk, cause I'm not. As you can already tell, I'm just in an extremely bad mood because of an extremley bad day. I feel bad about what I did, really, I do. So without meaning too, I kinda . . .
Snapped.
I flipped out on Zora, who burst into tears and fled. So with Tawni in the parking lot burning pictures of me, and Zora hiding in the vents crying, it was a miracle that Nico and Grady were even speaking to me.
But I'd rather be ignored than be tip-toed around like glass, which Nico and Grady were doing. Anyways, lunch time was extremely uncomfortable, seeing as Tawni and I weren't speaking and Zora was till up in the vents. I was counting down the minutes until I could go home, then stopped, because I realized that Mom and I were in a fight, too.
"Come on, Nico and Grady." Tawni had said while standing up, "Let's go rehearse. Unlike some people, we can actually act."
For some reason, that sent me over the edge. I stood up and stormed out of the cafeteria, knowing eactly where I was going to go. As if my day wasn't bad enough, on the way out of the studio I ran into stupid Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Munroe." Chad said playfully, helping me off the ground. I shoved him away, "Not now, Chad." I snapped, then ran out to my car.
Which brought me back to the present. My "paradise" was actually just a hidden spot in the woods a couple of miles away from the studio.
I took in deep breaths, in . . . out. . . in . . . out. . .
BUZZ!
I jumped, then groaned, realizing that I forgot to turn off my phone. Whenever I came here, I always turned it off so that it wouldn't disrupt the sacedness of my special spot.
I quickly grabbed my phone and turned it off, then I put in my purse and tossed that behind me. I sighed and stretched out on my small rock by the shore, the water licked at my toes. I was at peace, I needed to get away from the world and just . . . chill.
A small breeze fluttered through, making my hair dance around my face. A smile played at my lips. This was just so relaxing.
"Sonny?"
You have got to be kidding me. I sat up and turned aroun din disbelief. Sure enough, there was Chad Dylan Cooper, leaning against a tree and looking mad. I groaned and threw my hands up, "What are you doing here?" I snapped as Chad walked closer.
He sat down next to me and glared, "Uh, the more appropiate question is what are you doing here?"
I stared at him, "What are you talking about? I was here first."
Chad rolled his eyes and gestured around, "I'm asking you why the heck are you in my place?"
I scoffed, "Your place? Please, Cooper. For the past six months I've been coming here to get away and relax." I said, lying down again
Chad frowned, "But . . .That's what I've been doing!" I shot up and glared at Chad in disbelief, "Your kidding, right?"
Chad shook his head. I crossed my arms and huffed, "Great. I thought that this was my special place, only to find out that I share it with you."
Chad laid down next to me, "Well, if anyone's going to leave, it'll be you."
Of course. "I"m not leaving. I have had the worst day of my life, and I plan to relax. So if you excuse me . . ." I trailed off and laid back down, closing my eyes and attepting to block out Chad's presence next to me.
I peeked open one eye and saw Chad staring at me, his expression soft. "I could see that." He spoke quietly. I sat up and stared at him. "Hence the fact that you rudely shoved me away and didn't even bother to argue with me." Chad said, a smile playing on his features.
I sighed, "Yeah, I was just so frustrated. I mean, at home, at work, everyone was getting on my case, and I just couldn't take it." I whispered, hugging my knees to my chest and watching as the sunset began to slowly dip out of view, causing the sky to flash bright orange pink and yellow.
Chad scooted a bit closer to me, and in an attempt to be comforting, he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer, "I'm sorry," Chad said genuinely. "Do you want to talk about it?"
I laid my head on Chad's shoulder, "Honestly, no. If I talk about it I'll just get all worked up again." I felt Chad nod. I sighed and stared out at the breath-taking sunset, "It's gorgeous, isn't it?"
Chad shrugged, "Eh, I've seen better." I looked up in disbelief and to question him and saw that he wasn't even looking at the sunset, he was looking at me.
Blushing and suddenly feeling uncomfotable, I averted my gaze to the waterfall. I watched as the water poured down the side of the rock and land into the lake. I stared at the rocky cliffs and suddenly an idea struck me.
I gasped and leapt to my feet. Chad jumped, "Jeez, what?" Chad questioned as I grabbed his hand and began to pull him after me as I ran to the waterfall. "Come with me!" I cried over my shoulder.
After running around half of the lake, we finally reached the base of the waterfall. I stared at the top, and grinned at Chad. Chad's eyes widened, "Whoa there, Sonny. No, we are not going up there."
I tugged on his arm, "Oh, come on, Chad!" I pleaded, using my puppy-eyes, "It'll be an adventure!" Chad's gaze flickered from me to the waterfall, then back to me, and he sighed. "Sonny, it's dangerous. No."
I pouted, "Plleeeeaaassseee?" I whimpered, "Please, Chad? Please?"
Chad threw his hands up in defeat, "Fine, fine." He grumbled, "But if you fall and die then don't blame me."
I laughed and started to climb. At first it was easy, hand here, foot there, and push. But then it started getting steeper, and I was stumbling alot more. Luckily, Chad was behind me, so most of the times he was there to catch me. Other times, however, he wasn't.
I paused, glancing down and quickly regretting it. We were so high up, it made me dizzy. I looked up and breathed a sigh of relief, "Only a few more feet to go, Chad!" I called down to him. He glanced up and nodded.
I started back up again. I reached up one hand and grabbed on to a rock. As I was pushing off with my foot, the rock that I was holding onto suddenly snapped. "AH!" I yelped as I began to slide down the cliff, the rock scratching me painfully.
"SONNY!" I heard Chad yell. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced for the pain of me hitting the ground. Suddenly, everything froze. I opened my eyes a slit and saw that Chad was holding himself up with one hand below me and the other hand was on my lower back. He was pushing me close to the cliff painfully tight. "Sonny." Chad hissed, "Grab on to the rock. Now."
With trembling hands, I took hold of a rock that jutted out above me. "I'm going to let go now, can you hold yourself up?" Chad asked. I nodded quickly, and Chad released me.
Without hesitating, I speedily began climbing to the top again, shaken and scared. Within one minute, I had pulled myself over the ledge. I lay, panting, and quickly scooted away to make room for Chad. I stood on my feet and gave Chad a hand. The second Chad climbed on top he grabbed my arms and hugged me. "We are never doing this again." Chad said in my ear. I nodded, and he released me, but still held onto my arm. We walked into the center of the ledge, and I looked around.
"Wow," I breathed as I looked at the lake from high above. There was a small river that ran off the cliff, which made the waterfall. By this time the sun had set, leaving just a faint glow in the sky for visibility. "It's beautiful."
"I'm too busy recovering from the fact that you almost died to enjoy it." Chad grumbled from beside me. I would've elbowed him, but decided against it seeing as it would probably result in him tumbling over the edge.
Speaking of which, I inched forward a couple of feet, causing Chad to tighten his grip on me, "Sonny," Chad warned. I rolled my eyes, "Calm down, wussy." I told him as I peeked over the edge and saw the water tumble down the nearly forty foot fall.
"You know," I said, going back to Chad, "With everything that's been going on in my life, all the drama and fights and all, this was good for me." I said, leaning my head against his shoulder. Slowly, I began to pull my arm out of Chad's grip, hoping he wouldn't notice, "Because, sometimes in life you have to stop what you're doing,"
By now my arm was completley out of Chad's grip. Chad stared at me, "Sonny," Chad warned me again. I ignored him and continued talking.
"And just . . . jump."
And with that, I ran two steps and flung myself off of the cliff and towards the water below.
Idk what's up with me today, but the idea just kinda came to me(; Half way through writing this, I decided to make it a two shot and end it with a cliffy(;
tee-hee, I know I'm evil(;
Yeah, so was I the only one who absolutley LOVED Tawni in Falling for the Falls? Omg, she was hilarious! Idk why, but I always replay the 'Hell-oo A plus!" part, ahhhaa it's so flipping hilarious! (;
Well anyways, read and review, and I know I'm a jerk for doing this and not you belong with me, but don't worry, that'll be updated soon :D
