READ IF YOU ARE DISSAPOINTED IN ME UPDATING SO LATE!
OKAY! I have my reasons this time for being so freakin late on updating! First I just recently took my Pre-SAT's which I had to study for, 2nd I'm not getting straight A's in school so my computer time is now officially limited for free time.
3rd I have many reports due, which were an Investigations (it's a class) report, History report (my group did basically nothing so I had to do more than half of the project by myself!), huge Chemistry Test (I didn't do so good :| ), HUGE Chemistry Lab, 3 math tests, and a Spanish project all due in a 2 weeks time!
And when I did have some time off on a weekend, my family had to go on an important family gathering trip.
So though I've tried very hard to get my ideas down on my computer, this is the fastest I could do it. Also when ever I've gotten free time, like during the family trip, I had like 15 minutes because I wasn't involved in some of the talking, I would type on my Ipod Touch and email it to myself to put on my computer whenever I had time.
I know this is still disappointing you, but please don't be too mad!

Chapter 10
Hero
Love: A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. A person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart. A love affair; an intensely amorous incident; amour.
In my words Love is like a feeling like none other, the way you get butterflies in your stomach and act so different in front of them. You wonder if you're crazy and if you're out of your mind. But your still you, nor are you crazy, and you're not out of your mind, you're in love. Imagine doing something drastic and feeling anxious, or when you finally got the thing that you've always dreamed of and you get all jumpy and ecstatic, maybe when you're about to get a huge test that you didn't study for and you're all nervous... well combine all those emotions and you get love. Though some people, sometimes hate that feeling some think it's the best thing that ever happened to them.
I don't know what to think. I'm not incredibly in love but I do have a passionate feeling for someone. Though she's so freakin' annoying and she never gives up, something about her makes me light up. Maybe it's the way she smiles or the color her cheeks get when you say something nice and she tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear. I haven't known her for very long but it feels like it's been years.
Love is different for everyone, some know it's them at first sight like in those choppy romance movies but others need time to spend with them. In the beginning you wouldn't even imagine liking them but then you get to know the person and it just goes up hill from there.
If I could I would spend eternity with her, being with her, making her laugh, making her happy, spending every moment with her, kissing her, I WOULD but that's not the case in this tragic story because there's one tiny problem, she has a BOYFRIEND! I would be happy to see her happy, but I know the real truth about her boyfriend, why is he really dating her. But she doesn't know, and I would hate to bring tears to her. And how can you tell the girl you adore and maybe love that her boyfriend isn't who she thinks he is? How can you do that to her?
But today I'm finally going to cough up the courage to tell her and face the consequences. Which me luck.
"Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out… whew…."
It had been about a week since Sonny and Austin had started dating. She seemed really happy when Austin came the next day after their first date to ask her out again. Sonny looked like she was going to faint from excitement, me on the other hand, not so much.
But a few good things came out of this, whenever Sonny was out, usually with Austin or running some errands (though she would never tell me where she was going) I got time to use her guitar. Since I hadn't played in so long, I thought it was good I got back to some of my old regular stuff. This whole week I had been preparing a song for Sonny, so that I could play it to her at the Thursday neighborhood campfire.
Also in this past week I thought of ways to tell Sonny about the real Austin and I was finally going to accomplish my plan today, once and for all, I hope….
"Chad! COME ON SLEEPYHEAD !" Sonny's voice drummed past my closed bedroom door and into my ears.
For a girl so petite, she had a very loud voice!
"Coming, mother!" I smirked and I could almost see her making a face.
"Said the person who is 3 YEARS OLDER than me!" She screamed back, and might I say, VERY LOUDLY!
I ran out of my room, still in my pajamas though and smiled.
"How would you know I'm 3 years older than you?" She stood in front the stove where she was cooking eggs.
"Admit it, you were a fan!" I twirled her around and looked at her. The famous smirk appeared on my face and then there was one on her face too.
Before I could think I felt a small gushy thing crack on my head. Slowly bringing my hand up to my head, I brought down a small amount of egg yolk down to my eyes.
Sonny was laughing while clutching her stomach, that she didn't notice me scoop up some of the egg yolk from my head and place it on top of hers.
"You did not just do that?" She glared at me and for a moment I shivered, but I didn't show it.
"Oh, but I did…" I smiled and that's the moment the huge food fight began.
About 30 minutes of flying pancakes, smashed eggs and flour faces the fight ended with my dad walking into the house holding the daily newspaper.
….. Flash forward to Sonny, and Chad sitting on the ground, while Mr. Cooper yells.
"I can't believe you two, this was way too immature. Sonny, you haven't ever behaved like this, and Chad," He looks to me as I laugh seeing Sonny make funny faces as she picked the egg shells out of her hair.
"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY!" He yelled at me as I looked up to him and my face immediately became straight.
Then Sonny started giggling and my dad's head shot to her who was sitting across from me.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!" Sonny immediately turns blank and I chuckle.
My dad's head turns to me and he glares.
"Ugh… what am I going to do with you two!" He clutches his head between his hands and sighs.
"Get cleaned and then come clean this up, I'm going for a walk…" My dad slowly turned away from us and slid through the doorway.
Sonny grunted glaring at me and brought her feet up only to slip on some egg yolk and fall forward but with fast reflexes I caught her, causing her to immediately blush.
"Um…. We should get cleaned…." Sonny whispered quickly regaining her balance and walking away.
"Yea…" I spoke but she was already gone.

"Yeessh… what have you been eating these days!" I snapped as I tried to lift Sonny up on the horse. We were about to go horse riding but Sonny was having trouble getting up on the horse.
"NOTHING! MEANIE! I would get up on the horse myself but my leg is numb right now!" She yelled at me, grunting and crossing her arms across her chest.
With that I put her on the ground to see her lips form a small cute pout.
I walked in front of her but she snapped her head away, so I walked to the other side and looked at her face again, and she quickly turned her head to the opposite side.
"If you keep doing that, I'm going to be tempted to hold your face in place, with force." I smirked and then her head turned to me. Her eyes narrowed, firmly but so cutely!
"Just help me up." The words barely came out a whisper but I nodded and wrapped my arms across her waist and lifted her, gently creasing her into the saddle.
I felt a cool rush of wind hit my nose and I had a sudden itch to scratch it. Pulling my hands away swiftly I reached for my nose, only to her a loud scream and a thump.
My head snapped to see Sonny trip off the horse and onto the ground.
"OUCH!" She screamed. The horse shot up and ran inside the barn.
"SONNY ARE YOU OKAY!" I ran towards her to see small tears coming out of her eyes.
"What happened?"
"I fell and I think I broke a bone…" I looked to see her clutching her elbow and some blood spilling.
"Oh my gosh, hold up, I'll call for an ambulance."
My hands quickly reached through my jacket pockets until I felt a small cold touch and pulled my cell out.
Sonny took the phone from me.
"I'll call them, you get your dad." She said while dialing some numbers on the phone with her good hand. I ran inside and looked for my dad to see him reading a newspaper.
In a moment's time he was running out as well with me.
Sonny was still on the ground, with more blood dripping out of her arm.
"Let me look," My dad knelt down and reached for her arm. Then turning her arm, I saw a few scratches above and below the elbow where the blood was dripping from.
"It doesn't look very severe, but only the doctor will know, have you called them?" He asked and Sonny silently nodded.
"Alright, um… Chad stay here while I get the first aid kit." Dad slowly got up and walked away into the house.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let go!" I looked to the ground and Sonny giggled.
"It's fine, I was stupid not the grab the reigns as soon as I got on the horse. Um… can you call Austin for me?" She smiled.
Don't get mad, don't get mad.
I forced myself to smile back and dialed the numbers as she gave them to me.
In about 15 minutes the ambulance, and Austin had arrived.
"Only 2 people can go in the back with the patient." The male nurse told us.
I immediately ran to the door of the back of the ambulance but Austin pushed me aside.
"I'm her boyfriend, and your dad is sort of the guardian, so we have to go. You have no specific relationship with her, so back off." Austin snarled.
I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever, I have to do something anyway, I'll just meet her at the hospital." I fake smiled and turned away from him.

"May I know where Sonny Munroe is staying?" I asked the nurse behind the desk.
Right know I was in the hospital, holding Sonny's guitar, a vase of flowers and trying to find out where Sonny was staying.
"Go down and take the hallway on the left, room 216." She smiled as I nodded as thanks and walked away.
210 …. 212…. 214…. 216 BINGO
The door was slightly opened but I knocked, only to accidently push the door open.
Right in front of me, Sonny was sitting on a small bed, with Austin and my dad sitting on the side.
"CHAD!" Sonny's face beamed as I walked in.
"Hey there, Sons- I mean Sonny." Oh crap, I almost called her my nickname for her!
"Um… Chad why do you have my guitar?"
"Well I actually was going to sing a song I wrote for you, yesterday but this seemed like the perfect time."
Sonny immediately looked surprised.
"Song? You wrote a song?"
"Chad, loved to sing and play the guitar when he was little!" My dad beamed as I nodded.
"Yea, my dad's right, I did." I smiled at her and Sonny's smile got bigger.
"Wow, never would have imagined that?"
"Yea, but I'm the perfect deal, I'm handsome, famous, greatest actor of our generation, can play guitar and sing!" I smirked as she rolled her eyes and shot me her remark.
"Who said you could sing, I have to hear it before I believe it!" She smirked back as I chuckled.
I slowly took the seat on the opposite side of where my dad and Austin were sitting, and might I add, Austin didn't look very happy… heh…heh…heh…
Sonny took the flowers from me and placed them on her side table.
Sighing deeply, I started to strum some of the keys and began the song.
I'm no superman
I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere
You want to go (yeah)
I can't read your mind
Like a billboard sign
And tell you everything
You wanna hear
But I'll be your hero
While singing the first few lines I looked up to see my dad smiling and nodding his head (for some reason) Austin looked like he was going to blow up (my specialty for today) and Sonny was slowly moving her head to the rhythm of the song with her eyes closed.
I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy
Without his soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero (x2) Searching high and low
Trying every row
If I see your face
I'll barely know (yeah)
But my trust in faith
If you'll come away
And if it's right it's undeniable yeah
I'll be your hero
I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah i believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy
Without his soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
Oh, So incredible
Some kind of miracle
When it's meant to be
I'll become a hero, Oh
So I'll wait, wait
Wait, wait for you
I'll be your hero
I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
(Be unstoppable)
I yeah i believe in destiny
I maybe an ordinary guy
Without his soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
After I finished the songs, I heard some clapping, and my head shot up. Sonny was clapping really fast, and smiling really big, my dad was clapping with also a happy face and also the doctor in the doorway was clapping too.
"Wow, you have quiet a boyfriend there, missy." The doctor smiled to Sonny and we shot our hands up in the air.
"We're not together, we're-." But the doctor didn't listen and just started talking about the X-Rays.
I looked to Austin glaring at me like he was about to charge and I almost choked (of laughter that is.)
"Alrighty, the results are in. Good news is no broken bones, but you do have a small ligament break in your left elbow which is going to cause you from using your left arm. It should get better after about a week or two with a cast. The nurse will come in, to put on your cast in a short while." The doctor pinned up the X-Rays on the X-ray board and walked out, only to stop and smile at me.
"Keep it up."
I was about to object on how I wasn't her boyfriend but he left before I could say anything.
Oh well, at least somebody else thinks that I should be her boyfriend!
No harm in it though….
Author's Note: I'm sorry that was incredibly small and I apologize but with the time I have, this is all I can come up with!
