It was around midnight when I was on my way back to LA.

That's all I remember. Then around 2 or 3 in the morning my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw Sonny's name light up across the screen. I grinned.

"Hello, beautiful," I beamed, "What may I help you with on this early, early, early morning?"

"Well, sweetheart," she laughed, "you can help me with something very important."

"What's that?"

"I'm breaking out."

"Uh.. Sonny. Let's not do that," I suggested.

"Uh… Chad. Let's do that. I want to marry you right now," I heard a smile in her voice.

"Sonny, I told you then and I'll tell you now, we're too young. I love you so much, believe that. But…it's one week," I tried to convince her.

"Chad, maybe you don't love me. I'll kill myself. I swear to God I'll do it right now. You don't care," she screamed into the receiver.

"SONNY!" I yelled into the phone.

"Chad!" she yelled back. "You don't care. You don't love me. You never did. You just said you loved me to shut me up. You never liked me or anything. It was just me hoping. I fell for you. You didn't fall for me. I'll kill myself right now. I'm not crazy…" she said, then she sobbed into the phone.

I jolted awake. "Oh god.. Just a dream." I looked over at the clock and saw it was 3 in the morning. I shook my head, it all just seemed so real… I looked over and saw Sonny resting quietly next to me. I don't remember staying here, I thought, then again I don't remember leaving.

"Sonny… Sonny…" I shook her gently.

"Chad?" she said sleepily.

"Yea.. How did I get here?"

"Oh… You feel asleep around 9 or 10.. You looked so peaceful so I just left you," she smiled weakly.

"Sonny…?"

"Yes?"

"When do you wanna get married?"

"I don't know… Maybe when we're like…" she looked over at me, "Why?"

"Because… I love you. I wanna marry you. Right now," I said smiling. Wow, I thought, this dream got me good.

"Chad… We don't have to. I really don't mind, we can wait, babe," she looked at me confused.

"No, Sonny… I want to."

"Alright… A month after I'm out?" she smiled.

"Yes!"

"Alright, now go back to sleep, it's 3AM."

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

The next morning we called our parents and told them. We got the same exact thing from them that we got from Tawni, "You're seventeen! You don't know what love is!"

I tried to explain that we both had paying jobs, we loved each other, and that we could find a house really fast. They told us if we didn't last longer than 6 months they weren't helping us out. Then Sonny's father brought up they weren't going to help us out at all. My parents felt the same.

Sonny and I agreed. We'd prove them long.

I was on my back to LA (it wasn't a dream this time.). I thought about everything that had just happened in the past hour. My life was in turbo mode. I thought about the song I had written for Sonny before. It fit us before but things were different now… I took out a notepad at the next stoplight. I wrote as much as I could.

They called them crazy when they started out. Said 17 to young to know what loves about. They've been together 4 months now. That's crazy. He brings home 67,000 bucks a week. He bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street. Where she blessed him with everything. Just ask him how he did it. He'll say pull up a seat it'll only take a minute to tell you everything. Be a best friend, tell the truth, over use i love you, go to work, do your best, don't out smart your common sense, never let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy.

I smiled, it sounded pretty good. I just prayed another week passed quickly so I could hold Sonny without being watched. I heard a honking behind me and turned around, "Oh, shit." I saw the light turn red again and I laughed to myself. I heard some people behind me shouting some explicit words. I leaned out my window and heard someone yell, "OH! It's Chad Dylan Cooper. Sorry, dude." I nodded accepting. I got back in the car and looked up and saw the light turn green. I started driving.
