"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."


Sonny laid in bed, staring at the ceiling, just aimlessly listening to her iPod. She was smiling at simply nothing. Just replaying the day's events in her head. She wasn't able to fall asleep just yet. She didn't want the day to end. She was contemplating staying up the whole night, but she knew she wouldn't benefit from that in the morning.

She noticed her phone light up in the corner of her eye, and she turned over, grabbing her cow-printed iPhone.

Chad.

She smiled at his name in the bright blue letters. She pressed the green, 'Talk,' button.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sonshine." She grinned to herself, at the use of his nickname he gave her.

"And what has gotten you to call at.." Sonny glanced at the clock on her bedside table. "1:25 in the morning?"

"The better question is, why are you up at 1:25 in the morning?" Sonny rolled her eyes, knowing he was smirking on the other side of the line.

"Couldn't sleep. Your turn."

"What a coincidence. Neither could I." Sonny couldn't wipe the lovesick grin on her face.

"And why is that?" She asked.

"Maybe because, a certain brunette is stuck in my mind." Sonny blushed, but fake-gasped.

"It's Portlyn isn't it? How could you?" She could just see Chad rolling his eyes.

"Oh, you got me." Sonny giggled.

"And I thought we had something special."

"All good things come to an end, right?" Sonny heard Chad softly chuckle and she joined him.

"I can't wait to see you in the morning. All tired and grouchy." Chad joked. Sonny rolled her eyes.

"I could say the same to you, you know?"

"Please. I look amazing at all times." Sonny couldn't argue with that, staying silent. She quickly covered up the silence.

"Don't get an ego." She heard Chad start to respond, but she cut him off. "Oh, my bad. It's a bit too late, isn't it?"

"You're hilarious, Munroe."

"I thought so."

"So, I think it's my turn to ask, why can't you sleep?" Sonny stared at the floor, conjuring up an answer.

"I don't want to escape reality yet." She settled on. She was worried he would tease her.

"We're on the same boat, then." Sonny smiled.

Sonny just sat on the edge of her bed, talking about everything pointless with Chad till she could see the sun peeking out through her curtains and she sighed. She obviously wasn't getting any sleep tonight.

But, neither was Chad.
