I've been trying to perfect it. I hope you enjoy!!! Thanks for reading. Please review. Let me know what you think and give me any tips you have.

"Go away!" Yelled Sonny. I could hear her cries from outside the door. I wasn't exactly sure what to do. I wasn't used to comforting people. I thought that I should walk away. But something inside of me told me not to.
It was the new person that lived within me. The kind person. The non-self-absorbent person. I took a shaky breath and opened the door. I found Sonny sprawled across her bed. She was crying broken sobs into her pillow.
I went over to her. "Sonny, what happenned?" I asked. She didn't say a word. "Hey," I said coming over and putting a hand awkwardly on her shoulder. "It's gonna be ok whatever it is you know."
I was desperately trying to comfort her. I was pretty sure I was doing a very horrible job when suddenly, she sat up and threw her arms around me. "Oh, Chad!" She sobbed into my shoulder.
"I hate him so much!" She sobbed harder. It felt natural. Sitting there, hold her, comforting her. Like it was meant to be. "Hate who, Sonny?" I asked, feeling a surge of protection for her come over me.
"Read this." She flung something at me. It was a letter. My eyes took in each word. I was trying to comprehend it. It seemed so unreal. Like it really couldn't be happening. I gently distangled Sonny from me and looked into her eyes.
I suddenly had many questions for her. Not just about this one letter. But her life. The questions I had been dying to ask her since our first encounters. The questions the wall around me prevented me from speaking of.
I tried to restrain that feeling. But all of the sudden it all came tumbling out. "Sonny, what has really happened in your life. I mean really." I suddenly felt this huge weight lift off me. I felt the wall that had stood around me for years crumble into dust.
I had to admit, it felt great.
We spent the next two hours in the back gardens talking. She recapped her whole life. From tense encounters with her abusive father, to the happy times with her mom and Grandmother before they died.
It was an emotional time for her. But I was there for her. The new me showed himself more clearly than ever. When she finished the end of her story she said, " I really don't have a clue about what I'm going to do about his visit."
She looked at the evening sky and sighed. "Well," I replied, "There's not much you can do at this moment. We will figure something out you know." I looked at her. She just shook her head doubtfully.
"Right now, I think there's only one option." She looked at me hesitantly. "What's that?" I asked, halfway afraid of the answer. She replied quietly, "I run away."
"What that's crazy!" I said looking at her intensely. "Sonny, no. We'll figure out something else. I can't lose you." I grabbed her hands in this intense, bonding moment. I felt that familiar electric jolt run through me again.
It triggered a blush, to my dismay. But then I noticed Sonny's cheeks were decidedly pink and I relaxed a bit. We both pulled away. I cleared my throat. She looked back at me with emphatic eyes.
"Chad, I don't want to lose you either." There was a truth to her voice. There was pain in her eyes. "Especially not now." Her voice was thick with hidden meaning. "Then don't go."
I pleaded her with all my being. "Promise me you'll stay." For a few moments her eyes looked torn. I could tell that she couldn't come up with a good argument right now. I
But she was at her weakest point. I had the advantage. Finally she answered reluctantly, "Ok fine, if you promise to figure out a solution that will work." Ouch. She cornered me in a tough spot there.
"I'll try my best," I said honestly. She nodded. After a while of sitting in silence I said, "It's getting late, we should get inside before it gets too cold. She agreed. We stood up to walk back inside.
Right before we parted she said, " Chad." I turned and looked at her. She was on the first step of the ornate staircase. "I like the new you." I gave her a small smile, and yet another tiny blush.
I was turning to mush. Then she said, "But... please give me some warning before you turn back into yourself, ok?" And with that she skipped quickly up the steps to her room.
I just went on my way, taking deep, calming breaths as I went. Oh, the things Sonny Munroe did to my heart.
A/N- So...you like? let me know. Sorry this chapter is so short. But I'll make up for it for updating like twice tomorrow. And a fair warning, I won't be updating as much as usual because I have a tough Christmas Musical practice schedule. The things I can get myself into. Anyways, I'm BEGGING you to review. PLEASE HAVE PITY ON ME!!!!!! I have the drama part down, right? LOL!
