Okay, this story is official finished! Haha, maybe I should've just made it one big long one-shot. eh, maybe (; Oh well, too late now. Anyways, here's part two of the two-shot lol(;
So this is a short A/N cause the one at the end is uber long, but I ask that you pleeeaase read it, cause it's important! :D
Sonny POV
I don't know why I did it. It was like one of those split-second desicions that you'd remember for the rest of your life.
And jumping off a forty foot cliff was definetly one of those.
Leaping off the cliff, I had never felt such a rush. Fear, excitement, happiness. It all just hit me as I sailed through the air, not knowing whether I was going to hit a rock under the water or actually survive.
I felt my instincts kick in, and I automatically straightened my body so I was in a diving position, then braced myself for landing.
Houston, we have impact.
One second I was in the air, the next I was catapolted into the water, sending me straight to the bottom. Opening my eyes in the murky water, I felt a surge of adrenaline rush throgh me. I did it! I survived!
Not quite.
I still had to find my way back to the surface, or I was a dead-man. Er, woman.
I could feel my lungs shrinking, and I knew that I didn't have much time. I pushed off the bottom of the lake, flinching when I felt my toes sink into some type of goop. I started swimming to what I hoped was the surface, when all of the sudden I heard a huge splash and a thousand bubbles went everywhere, blocking my sight of the surface.
I swished around, panicking. With all the bubbles, everything looked the same: Up, down, left, right. I had a feeling that this wasn't such a good idea after all. I thrased around furiously, swimming in a random direction and praying it was up. My lungs were on fire. If I could just open my mouth a teensy bit and get air . . .
NO. I told myself firmly, knowing that I would only result in choking to death if I let myself do that.
Everything around me started to go dimmer, and I felt my legs and arms stop kicking. Just when I was about to give into the darkness, I felt something tug at my arm, hard.
Next thing I knew, something was pulling me up quickly. I tried to get myself to focus, to not black out, when suddenly my head burst above the surface.
I gasped for air, coughing and spluttering, to weak to even move.
I felt something pull me to the surface, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back with my knees in the lake. I lay and tried to breathe. In. . . out. . . In . . . out.. .
I tried to get enough air into my lungs for me to function. I heard noise beside me. With the small amount of strength that I had, I turned my head to the right and saw Chad on his hands and knees, soaking wet, and coughing.
"Ch-Chad?" I asked weakly, going into a coughing fit. Chad's eyes widened and he quickly crawled over to me. Chad sat down next to me and gently positioned himself so that my head was lying in his lap. "Are you okay?" Chad asked quietly.
Not having the strength to say anything, I just nodded. A look of relief crossed Chad's face. He sighed, "I am never taking you swimming, hiking, or anything that involves swimming or hiking."
His comment made me laugh. I chuckled softly, making Chad just glare at me. "Sonny, what were you thinking? You're not a professional! I can name thirty ways how you could have died just then!"
I took a deep breath, finally getting the energy to talk, "But I didn't though." I said softly. Chad rolled his eyes, "Regardless, that was extremley stupid. Don't think of yourself for a minute here, and think of me: What do you think would have happened to me if you never got out of the water, or if you hit a rock or something?"
I was silent. Chad continued, "Not to mention the fact that you almost drowned. If I hadn't jumped in after you, who knows what would've happened . . ."
"Wait," I interrupted, sitting up, "You jumped in?"
Chad scoffed, "Duh. How do you think I got in there so fast?"
I smiled and leaned back on Chad's chest, "I dunno." I mumbled. Chad Dylan Cooper jumped off a cliff. For me.
Mmm, the thought itself brought a smile onto my face.
"Looks like someone cares." I teased.
Chad snaked both of his arms around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder, "Sonny, if I didn't care I would've left the second I saw you sitting by the lake." Chad told me matter-of-factly. "You have no idea how bad you scared me." Chad whispered in my ear.
"One second, we're having a converstaion, the next you throw yourself off a cliff." Chad shuddered, "Jeez, Sonny! I don't think that I'll ever get over that. The second you hit the water, without even thinking I jumped in after you. It's a miracle that we both survived."
For the first time, I felt guitly about what I just did. "I"m sorry." I muttered, "I wasn't thinking. I had just had such a horrible day, and I thought that maybe if I did something adventorous it would make it all better. Which by the way," I twisted so that I was looking at Chad, "It did."
Chad snorted, "Yeah, despite the fact that you nearly killed yourself and the greatest actor of our generation."
I rolled my eyes, "Of course." I said under my breath.
"I heard that!" Chad said in a sing-song voice.
I shook my head and untangled myself from Chad. "Come on," I said, standing up, "Let's head back."
A round of dizziness hit me, and I stumbled backwards. Chad was there in a flash, one hand on my back and the other around my waist. "I-I'm okay," I stammered, standing up straight, "Just a little off-balance."
Chad still didn't remove his hand off my waist though, 'just in case' is what he said when I asked him about it. I bent down and snatched up my purse when we came to it. I turned on my phone and gasped, "Chad! It's nearly eleven o'clock! My mom's going to kill me!"
Chad calmly took my hand and started to lead me back to his car, "Sonny, calm down. I'll get you home in no time. Unless, that its, you decide you want to try jumping of the Golden Gate Bridge or something."
"Been there, done that." I said in a bored voice.
Chad gaped at me, and I burst out laughing, "Just kidding." I said through my laughter.
Chad rolled his eyes, "I need to stop making myself so gulliable." He muttered to himself as I got into his car. I laughed as Chad hopped into his car and glared at me, "I would let you drive home yourself, but I'm scared your going to drive it into a river or something."
I sighed, "You do know that I'm not suicidal or anything, right?" I asked as Chad pulled out onto the highway.
Chad nodded, "Well der. I'm just worried that you might make another one of your little 'adventure trips' and give me a near heart-attack."
I laughed and looked out the window, suddenly feeling how tired I was. I yawned, "I never thanked you," I said to Chad sleepily. He glanced at me, "What, for saving your life?"
I rolled my eyes and nodded, "Yeah, pretty much."
Chad smirked, "That's something you can't just thank me verbally for."
I groaned, "Ugh, what do you need? Me to go to Santiago and say that you don't shove puppies or something?"
Chad grinned and looked at me, "No, something else."
I stared at him expectantly. Chad took a deep breath, "A date."
I coughed, "A d-date?" I spluttered, staring at him in disbelief. Chad nodded. Inside, I was screaming estactically that Chad wanted to go on a date with me. But on the outside I just sighed, "Whatever. Fine."
Chad smirked, "Fine."
"Good."
"Good." Chad whispered as he pulled into my apartment parking lot. Chad turned off the car and a blanket of silence fell upon us. I broke it by leaning over and giving Chad a hug, "Bye, Chad." I breathed, pulling back and getting out of the car.
"You sure you can make it upstairs okay? Or do you think you want to jump down the elevator shaft instead?" I heard Chad yell. I stopped and whacked his car with my purse. Chad yelped, "My baby!" I laughed and started walking across the parking lot.
"Wait, Sonny!" I heard Chad yell. I sighed and turned around. "What?" I exclaimed, watching him drive his car across the parking lot to me. I placed my hands on my hips as Chad rolled down the window, "Try to refrain from any life-threatening adventures until after tomorrow night."
I raised an eyebrow, "Tomorrow night?"
Chad grinned, "Our date. I'll pick you up at seven."
And with that he was gone, zooming out of the parking lot and into the street. I stared at him in disbelief, how in the world did have this . . . power over me? I shook my head and began climbing the stairs up to my apartment. I unlocked the door and walked into the living room, where my Mom was sitting on the couch. She jumped when she saw me, "Sonny!" She exclaimed, running over and hugging me. I wrapped my arms around my Mom and burried my face in her hair, "I was so scared, Sonny!" I heard Mom cry, "W-we got in that fight, and I thought maybe you ran away, and-,"
"Shh," I said, "Mom, it's alright. I'm fine."
She let go of me and looked me over, "Sonny, why are you wet?" I laughed and walked past her to my room.
"I jumped."
I ignored her confused calls and closed the door to my room. I changed into my pajamas and laid down on my bed, reveiwing everything that happened to me. I sighed happily as I let myself fade into sleep.
Never in my life had I been so happy that I just let everything go and simply . . .
Jumped.
*Shields herself from angry mob* Yeahh, yeah, I know. Incredibly cheesy :/ I was in that mood, I sorry! And to answer some of the reviews, yes, I wrote this at Baylor as in the College in Texas Baylor :P My older sister is gonna be a freshman there next year, and we had to go to an extremely boring orientation :/
Quick response to Sonny-Chad-Channy: OMG that's so cool! I live there too! I'm not in choir though haha(;
I'm not going to update: You Belong With Me until we get back, which will be some time later today, because I really want to take my time with that, unlike this we're it just kinda hit me and I put it on paper. Well, in this case, computer.
So I'd like to apologize for all the spelling mistakes in chapter one! I saw them and was like: Oh wow, they must hate me! I don't want to make excuse at all, cause I hate it when people do that, but I jsut want to remind y'all that the microsoft on my computer is whack and isn't letting me write anything, so I'm writing on this wordpad thing that doesn't have spell check or nothing! Haha, so yeahh(:
Omg, so to everyone with money in thier iTunes account: GO BUY SONNY WITH A CHANCE FALLING FOR THE FALLS! Cause that's what I did, and instead of the ending that it gave you on disney channel (the one with Grady watching Mackenzie Falls on his phone) it gives you this absolutley adorable Channy ending where Sonny is judging Chad's tennis tournament (Chad's playing against Zac Efron, it's hilarious!) So I recommend that you go buy that and watch it!
Another thing! After I finish You Belong With Me, I want to do another multi-chap, but I'm having a hard time figuring what about :/ I kinda want to do one where they go on a trip or something, but that plot is really common and only a few authors can pull it off(; So if you have any ideas/requests, please review or message me! Thanks!
Ooh, lastly, now i feel so bad saying this, but I was just a teensy bit disapointed that I only got six reviews. *Hides again from angry mob* yeah, I know, I shouldn't be complaining, and I'm not trying to, but I'm just asking let's see if we can get a smidge more than that this chapter! YEAHH! ;P
Oh, and if any of you guys have a twitter and want to follow me, please do! And if you say your from FF then I'll follow you as well! YAY! ;P my username is: emilyf101
