Stitches, Scars, and Survival
Episode 9: The Return of the Girlfriend
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny with a Chance.
Hi. I'm really sorry I haven't updated. Been sick, I'm the only person who gets a damn cold in august. Anyways, I haven't been getting a lot of reviews, so please do so, that way, you get more chapters quicker. I don't mean to rush the storyline, but in order for it to move along I had to skip a few months. So..enjoy;]
2 Months Later
Chad Dylan Cooper stretched and sighed as he trudged out of bed unhappily. This is how he has been for the past 3 months. His one sparkly blue eye didn't even have a glint of a sparkle, his directors were upset at his constant drama, whether it was showing up to work late or forgetting his lines.
Ever since the love of his life, the apple of his eye, the ketchup of his hamburger, had been in a coma, he's been a wreck. Every day he goes and visits her, waiting and never giving up hope that maybe one day he would get to see her beautiful smile again. The nurses know him by heart and have become used to a star coming to their hospital. The paparazzi have spun the story so many different ways that eventually, they just moved on to the Gosselin family's drama.
Chad accepted it, knowing that his life was an endless loop, every day the same. He got up, complained, got dressed, went to the set, filmed, ate, went home, went to sleep and did it all over again. Of course holidays were different and sometimes his family members would check on him to see if he had gone off the deep end just yet, but no he was still alive, in a living nightmare: a world without Sonny Munroe.
The icy-blue-eyed bad boy was now lost in thought, driving to the hospital, a route he could drive to in his sleep. He was greeted by the usual nurses and he didn't even ask which room Sonny was in. The head doctor on Sonny's well-being stopped by and told him the news on her for today.
"Sonny Munroe: Vitals, good. Blah, Blah, Blah." He said to him, Chad zoning out. The 'blah, blah, blah's' were actually words, but that's what they sounded like to Chad. Every day, the same thing over and over, translation: Sonny Munroe is still in her coma, not expected to wake up anytime soon.
Chad tried to listen to the pained words that came out of the doctor's mouth every day, but this time, he was pleasantly surprised.
Instead of, 'No activity or movements from Allison.' It was, 'She was stirring a bit and her eyes looked like they were moving, so, we might be making progress.'
Chad Dylan Cooper had never been so happy in his life. Not happy whenever he got the part on Mackenzie Falls or when his little brother, Dylan Chad Cooper(a/n: just randomly made that one up..xD) was born.
Sonny Munroe was alive.
"Chad?" He heard his name being called from a girl's voice. This next part was in slow-motion to Chad, a dream come true. He had visualized this day so many times, and now it was actually happening. He was more excited than a teenage girl at a Jonas Brothers concert. The young boy turned around, faced by an awake Sonny Munroe. Her eyes were squinted and her nurses and doctors were astounded.
Chad ran over to her, happy-tears flowing down his face.
"Baby, you're alive." He managed to stutter out, not caring how he sounded like a fool.
"I couldn't leave you." She said with a smile.
"I missed you so much." He said back to her.
"I missed you too. How long..how long was I not here?" Sonny asked, curiosity filling her small and weak voice.
"About 2 months and 3 weeks." He recalled those horrible days and nights, Chad even shuddered at the thought of that.
"Wow. It just felt like I took a nap." She said and sighed.
With that Chad chuckled and smirked. It had been so long since he had done either or those things, his heart weighed down because of Sonny. But now, he felt so alive.
"I missed your smirk and Chad-Charm." Sonny said with her long-awaited, big, goofy-grin.
"I missed your smile and laugh and everything. I missed everything about you." He confessed, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"Seems like Chad Dylan Cooper grew out of his cockiness? Is that even possible?" She asked with a laugh, teasing him.
"Hey, I'm just used to being Chad. But now the king is back!" He teased back with her, missing their banter.
"Whatever, Chad." She fake-dismissed him with a wave of her hand.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Good."
"Good."
"So we're good?" He asked, with his famous glint of a sparkle in his eyes.
"Oh, we're so good." She said with a giggle.
Chad was in the waiting room, he had gotten kicked out by the nurses, eager to check up on Sonny. He shuffled uncomfortably, checking messages on his phone again and again. Chad was just trying to pass time, cursing that damn clock that was staring at him.
Finally, he recognized the familiar clicking of the one nurses' shoes and got up. Chad beat her to Sonny's hospital room, and was greeted by an empty hospital bed.
"Where? WHERE IS SHE?!" He panicked, and Sonny came out of the bathroom, limping, but still grinning her toothy-grin.
"You're a love sick fool." She said to him, realizing he was under her spell.
"Yeah, yeah I know." He said with a smirk and looped his arm through Sonny's, helping her back to her bed.
Sonny Munroe inwardly groaned. It's been about a week since she's awoken from her coma, and she's been in the bed ever since. Sure, Chad came by every day after work with a grin on his face, but Sonny was tired of the routine. She was just ready to leave and go live her life. Her new life with Chad, abuse free.
Sonny heard a soft knocking on the hospital door.
"Come in." She whispered weakly and miserably.
"Hey princess." Chad walked in with a bag. He kissed her forehead, pulled up a chair and sat next to the patient.
"I'm not your princess. I would never be pretty enough. Look at me, I have stitches and cuts and bruises all over my face." She said to him, pointing to each one.
Chad looked her dead in the eyes, "You are the most beautiful thing on this earth. Sonny, you are my everything and I love you no matter what." He lightly pecked her on the lips.
A small tear came from her eye, as she looked into his ocean-blue ones. "I love you too."
He smiled and a moment of silence passed through the room, both lost in their thoughts.
"Now…what's in the bag?!" She asked excitedly, her thoughts racing of possibilities.
"I thought you would never ask!" He pulled out a hot meal, from Sonny's favorite restaurant, Sunny Side Up(a/n: I totally made that up too..lol), which was a weird coincidence, considering the relevance in the names. Chad also surprised her with a box of DVD's and roses. "A hot meal, some beautiful yellow roses for my beautiful Sonshine, and every season of Mackenzie Falls on DVD!"
Sonny laughed, she knew Chad would bring her Mackenzie Falls of all things. "Why didn't you bring So Random! for me instead?"
"Because episode 26 features me shirtless, yeah I figured you would love it." He tossed his head to get his bangs out of his eyes and smirked at her.
The young-girl's eyes widened and she gulped. "Well, okay. Can we watch it?" She asked with a devilish grin and a smirk.
Chad looked over at the girl in his arms and smiled. He never thought he could ever trust anyone ever again after Kelsey but he felt safer with Sonny more than anyone. She had fallen asleep during his show, Chad was a bit insulted, but sometimes all the drama was tiring, even for the actors themselves.
He moved his arms from around her waist and slowly got out of her one person bed which they shared. Chad tip-toed out of her room and went to his car. The directors called and needed to film one last scene to finish the episode. He wasn't too happy about it, but Chad didn't have a choice.
The blond walked into the studio and was greeted by his ex-girlfriend and a flirty smile.
"Ka-Kel-Kelsey?" Chad asked with a squeak.
"My, my, my, someone has grown up." She said with a sultry voice. Kelsey than proceeded to walk her fingers across his broad shoulders.
Chad closed his eyes and was awoken from a loud noise.
"CHAD COOPER! I SEE YOU'VE MET YOUR NEW LOVE INTEREST ON MACKENZIE THIS SEASON! MEET KELSEY!" He heard his loud-talking director shout. Chad shuddered and gulped.
This was going to be the worst filming season ever.
I needed a little drama, and trust me, this new character will add drama. To understand Kelsey...she looks like Miley Cyrus except is really down to earth, really flirty, and needs a boyfriend 24/7. Explanation why the couple broke up will be soon.
