"You didn't need to walk me all the way home you know?" A drunk Sonny Munroe opened the door to her apartment and leaned on the wall.

"Yeah but if Connie sees you in this state and knows I was out with you she'd kill me wouldn't she." Laughed Chad.

"Yes, And you wouldn't want to upset my mother… Would you?" Sonny laughed back as he shook his head. "You like it here don't you?"

"Sonny, Most girls would kill to be you. Why are you just chucking it all away? If you don't like your life, Do something about it, change things." Chad looked at her, he could tell she was upset maybe that was why she was so drunk.

"Is that easy is it?" She sighed and looked down at the floor.

"Yeah. Look, I'll go if you want…" Chad slowly edged towards the door.

"You don't want to though, Do you." Sonny looked him in the eyes.

"I don't want to be one of the things you're running away from." As the words poured out of Chad's mouth Sonny slowly pulled him towards her and kissed him.

"No, Sonny. Stop it." He pulled away and stared at her. In that second Sonny quickly ran up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door shut.

"Was that Sonny?" Asked Connie, stepping out of the bathroom.

"Yeah she's just umm-" Chad tried to think of a easy lie but Connie caught on.

"She's drunk, Isn't she?" Connie sighed as she walked up the stairs leaving Chad in the hall.

The next day Sonny walked down the stair case and her mum followed her like she was some kind of dog on a lead.

"Sonny, You were a mess!" Connie shouted.

"Ergh, I'm not doing this now can you just please drop it? Okay?" Sonny said as she held her head and walked into the kitchen.

"No I will not drop it. Why do you want to go and get so wasted in the first place! Is it the girls? You all been arguing again?" Her mum stared at her. "See, I got nothing out of you last night either."

"Alright, Fine... If you wanna know it's Chad I just don't want him staying with us." Sonny grabbed a glass of water and drank from it."

"Why? What's happened? What's he done?" Connie looked interested.

"Nothing…" Sonny sounded slightly defensive.

"So why don't you want him living with us?" Connie sighed, her daughter wasn't making any sense.

"Well it's my friends isn't it. The way he's treating them… You told me to make things right but with him here I just… He's just so…" Sonny was trailing off into her own little fantasy.

"He's just so what!" Sonny's mum snapped.

"You wanted to know why I got so drunk, Okay. I am telling you! It's Chad I don't want him living here alright? I just don't!" Shouted Sonny walking out of the kitchen.

"Let me get this straight, he's not getting on with her mates so you want me to chuck him out?" Sonny's dad Rick looked at Connie.

"You didn't see how upset she was." Connie protested.

"She'll get over it alright. It's no big deal is it? Look if we chuck him out we'll loose money I may not like the boy but atleast he's earning us money." Rick looked at his paper work.

"If he's upsetting her by medalling with her friends I want him gone."

"Connie, It's nothing alright. It's what the kids do you know they all fall out and the next minute they're all best mates again." Rick looked up at Connie and down at his paper work again.

"At least have a word with him then? What ever problems she's got with him I want them sorted she's our daughter… Her happiness comes first."

"Yes boss." Sighed Rick.

Chad walked down the stairs holding a box full of his things and placed it on the back table as Sonny walked through the door.

"I'm sorry." She sighed looking at him.

"What for complaining about me to your family and not having the guts to tell me to my face?" He asked putting more things in the box.

"For the kiss…" Sonny looked at him and noticed she immediately caught his attention.

"What, Do you regret it?" Chad looked back at her.

"You were the one that pulled away from me..." Sonny looked at him.

"Yeah that's because you were drunk, Sonny." He moved towards her and ran his fingers through her hair. "And now your sober…" He slowly kissed her lips.

"We can't do this. This stops, This stops now." Sonny sighed.

"Maybe it isn't so wrong, Alright?" Chad sat next to her.

"Your were dating Selena, Me and her don't do things like that. When we were younger we both agreed to never let a guy come between us." Sonny looked at him.

"Well, You tell me then… You tell me that when we kissed it felt wrong, you tell me that you didn't feel what I felt. I wanna be with you Sonny Munroe!" Chad touched her hand and slowly pulled it away when he heard somebody walking through the door.

"You alright?" Asked Rick walking in the living room. "You leaving then?"

"No." Sonny looked at Chad. "No, He's not leaving."

Rick sighed and walked out of the room. "Make your mind up, Sonny."
