Hey, I keep forgetting to say this, but this story will run into a little Channy, or a lot… ;3

Sonny didn't know where she was going, but it sure as hell wasn't home. Sonny early collided with a pick-up truck when she attempted to collect her thoughts. Swerving out of the way, she decided to go to the upcoming motel. She turned into the parking lot and grabbed her things. When she walked inside, she noticed there was no clerk. "Hellooooo?" She called out. "Anyone there?" She asked.

"Hi!" A blonde haired woman popped up out of nowhere.

"Uhhh, can I have a key?"

"Sure thing! Here you go! Up those stairs, it's on the right!" She exclaimed, holding out the keys.

"Thanks…" Sonny quickly turned around and hurried off.

***Hanging By A Thread***

"She's in trouble!" Screamed Chad as he barged into the dressing room.

"What?" Zora asked.

"This is her diary! I found on the road! Do you guys remember a few days ago when she was really depressed?"

"The day she stopped showing up?" Tawni asked.

"Yes. Her mom was killed by her abusive father. He killed Sonny's mother and abuses Sonny and he's gonna kill her, but not before she kills herself. On Friday she's jumping off a cliff. A cliff. She's ending her crappy life because of her father and us. She thinks we don't care! Sonny's ending her life because of her bastard of a father and us. We need to save her." Chad took a deep breath and looked at the shocked faces.

Grady recovered first. "We need to do something! Where could she be? We need to talk her out of this." The others agreed.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll become, uh, detectives! Yeah…" Nico exclaimed. Grady hi-fived him.

"This is not the time for hi-fiving!" Zora yelled. Chad nodded and he stormed out of the room, the others close behind.

***Hanging By A Thread***

Sonny dove for the bed, relaxing into the sheets. She grabbed her bag and dug through it, finding her diary was gone.

Oh no. I wonder if they have it… Oh God, they probably know! They'll come for me! I have to move the jump to tomorrow.

No. No, no, no, no! We need them to come… You want them to. Deep down inside you do. You can't jump!

I don't. No. I need to end this life. It's too much.

Don't!

I have to!

Uh, no you don't. Because then they'll have the date all wrong and they'll be lying when they say you died then. That's totally unacceptable.

You're right! They get it all wrong! Ahhh!

Once Sonny had that all figured out, she knew she had to sleep.

***Hanging By A Thread***

Chad cursed. "Shit. Guys, she went that way somewhere."

"How do you know?" Tawni asked.

"Tire tracks!" Zora announced. Chad didn't feel like glaring at her, so he turned and began following the tracks, thanking God she took a dirt road. The others trailed behind, following the "All Knowing One" as Zora called him. Chad was doing well for a while, before the dirt road morphed into asphalt.

"Dammit!" He shouted, running his hand through his golden locks. He kicked at a rock, before storming off to the studio. He needed sleep, even if he didn't like the idea, he knew he would need the energy. They didn't even have to look for her now, going to the park on Friday was good enough for him. The others also seemed to have the same idea and went their separate ways to get home.

***Hanging By A Thread***

(Skip to Friday 9:50 p.m.)

Sonny practically ran to the cliff. "Ugh, here I am. 10 freaking minutes…" She shook her head and sat down, trying to calm herself. 7 minutes later, she heard the sound of feet pounding against the ground. She opened her eyes and saw… her friends? That was unexpected. I thought someone else was coming, like Marshall, or some other people.

"SONNY!!!" They all yelled. Her eyes grew wide and she stood up.

"If you came to talk to me, you have," She glanced at her watch. "2 and a half minutes to do so." She stated.

"Away from the edge, Sonny." Nico demanded.

"Why?" They all froze.

"What do you mean?" Tawni inquired.

"I mean, why should I leave the edge? To go back to the pain and abuse? Back to people who pretend to care? Back to the shit I call a life? Go ahead, tell me why. 1 minute and a half."

"We don't pretend, Sonny." Zora declared. "We care. We do, why do you think we're here, to watch you end your life? No."

"Sonny, we can help you." Grady said.

"Yeah, we can get you away from your father." Tawni added.

"Okay, that was 3 of you. Nico, you tell me why. 1 minute." Sonny looked up from her watch.

"Well, Sonny, we would miss you, your smiling face, your great ideas, your talent…" Nico trailed off, glancing at Chad.

"Half a minute." Sonny warned.

"You want to know why you should step away, Sonny? Not because we don't pretend, or because we can help, or because we'll miss you. All those things are true, but Sonny, if you end your life, I will die inside. Because I'll be losing the one person I ever really loved. All the searching we've been doing, all the worry, time, and money we've put into saving you, has shown me one thing. Not only do I care for you, but I love you, more than you could ever know! I can't watch you kill yourself over something we can fix, together. I'm not going to watch you end your life so early, when you can change the world. You can accomplish so much, and I'm not about to let you end all the wonderful that you bring into the world. I need you Sonny, we all do, and whether you like me or not, I'm not going to let you waste all the magnificent things you could do with your life." Everyone gaped at Chad's words. "Will you give life a second chance, Sonny?"

All she could do was nod. Sonny grabbed Chad's had and stumbled slightly, but he caught her. "I love you, too, Chad. With all my heart. Thank you, I was hanging by a thread, but you saved me. Thank you."
