A/N – Well, it's time for another chapter of Sonny over the falls. I love writing this story, it's so fun. There is a little more "drama" if you will in this chap.
There are also a few cute Channy moments. But I won't give you any spoilers, just go ahead and read, read, read, then review, review, review :)
Sorry for the huge update delay. I had this chap ready over 2 weeks ago, however my wonderful beta, BeingHannah923, has been extremely busy. So, I've had to enlist the beta services of the amazing MusicChannySkyscraper again. Thanks so much for doing this Amy, and please, don't shoot Hannah for the delay. She tried her best to get it done.
TUESDAY MORNING
*Chad POV*
I woke up at about 8 am and noticed I was in the hospital, sitting next to Sonny, holding her hand. She was sound asleep, but gosh she looked so freaking cute. About 15 minutes later she woke up.
"Good morning my Sonshine." I said to her.
"Mornin' Chaddy." She replied.
"How did you sleep?" I asked her.
"It was ok… I was in a lot of pain, but I was dreaming about you." She replied.
Aww that's sweet.
At about 8:30 the doctor came in to do his check-up.
"How are you feeling this morning Allison?" He asked.
"I'm… alive." She responded.
"Well, I'm just going to check the machines, if your strength is enough we will start operating immediately." He replied.
A few minutes later he said it was all good; he gassed her and wheeled her into the operating theatre.
Mr Munroe and I went to the waiting room. All of a sudden I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Chaddy!" My sister Amy screamed whilst running to me, and giving me a sisterly hug.
"Amyyy!" I screamed back at her, returning the hug.
"Gosh, I've missed you bro!" She said.
"Yeah, it's only been a few days but I miss you as well, sis." I said back to her.
Why wouldn't I miss her? She is my big sis, I've seen her just about every day of my life, this is the longest I've gone without seeing her. And I love my big sister so freaking much.
"Well Chaddy, I heard the news and thought you could use some sisterly support." She informed me.
"Thanks Amz… That's one of the reasons I love you… You're always there for Kat and me." I said to her.
"Well Chaddy… I'm your older sister, that's my job." She joked.
We just kept joking around in that fashion until Sonny came out of theatre. That was at about 4pm.
The doctor came in…
"Excuse me..." He said.
"Oh sorry." I replied and we stopped mucking around.
"Miss Munroe is out of theatre and is about to wake up. Now I must tell you, she will be in a wheel chair for at least 8 weeks. In about 2 weeks she will have to go to rehabilitation to start getting ready to walk again. We will assess how she is going thereafter."
I then ran into her room, she saw me and screamed out to me.
"Chaddddyyyyyyy…"
"Sonnnnyyyyyy!" I replied back.
I then went over and gave her a huge hug, but being careful not to hurt her.
"Sonny… I love you. I love you more than life itself. I love you more than anything…" At that point Amy walked beside me to make her presence known.
"Sonny, I need you more than cars need gas, I need you more than fish need water, I need you… More than anything. So… Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her.
"Oh my gosh… Chad." She screamed. "Of course I will!" She added.
Just then Amy started jumping up and down, "Oh my gosh, this is so exciting!" She screamed.
Mr Munroe walked into the room saying; "What is so exciting?" with a stern look on his face.
"Well Tom, I just asked Sonny out. I realised how much I really love her, and how much I want to be with her."
"Chad can please speak to you outside?" He asked.
"Sure." I responded cautiously and walk out with him.
"Chad, you seem like a good guy, and I do like you, but I am also aware of your past. Now, I hope for the sake of my daughter, that you are no longer like that." He told me.
"Tom, I'll be upfront with you. I have had a bad past with relationships, but Sonny has changed me. She has made me the guy I am today. I want nothing but the best for her. Hell, if I was the old Chad Dylan Cooper I wouldn't be here by Sonny's side. I would have left at the moment of the accident." I informed him.
"Ok then Chad, so long as you do what's right by Sonny, welcome to the family." He said, with a smile on his face.
We then walked back into the room and Tom informed Sonny that we have his blessing.
We then just sat around, talking about random stuff until dinner time.
At about 6:30 we decided to head to the café. I decide to push Sonny's wheel chair, to show my commitment, just a small gesture to show Tom that I'd do anything for his daughter.
We got to the café and sit down, and started eating, and then all of a sudden I saw that truck driver.
I excused myself, got up and walked over to him…
"YOU ARE SO LUCKY!" I screamed.
"What do you want now?" He asked, without a care in the world.
"MY FRIEND! THE ONE YOU NEARLY KILLED! SHE IS OK. IF SHE HAD DIED, YOU WOULD BE SPENDING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN JAIL, YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!"
I then walked back to the table.
"What was that all about?" Sonny asked.
"That was the dipshit who did that to you." I say, gesturing to her wheel chair.
I then started eating. I was so freaking angry…
*Amy POV*
I heard on the news that Sonny was in hospital, so I decided I'd better go see how my brother was doing. I knew how much this would be hurting him right now, and a phone call wasn't gonna be enough.
I needed to be there for him.
I booked my plane ticket. Lucky there was a flight leaving soon. I packed my suitcase and headed to the airport.
I got to the airport with 10 minutes to spare. I ran through to the boarding gate, giving the girl my ticket, and went straight to my seat.
The plane took off, and then landed later on… I got off at the Appleton airport, grabbed my luggage, jumped straight into a taxi and went to the hospital. I surprise myself at what I can do when I am in a hurry.
Finally I got to the hospital and I was informed that Chad was in the waiting room with Sonny's father.
I then saw him and ran up to him, screaming his name, and gave him a huge sisterly hug.
Gosh I missed him, I've seen him just about every day of his life, and this is the longest we have gone without seeing each other (well, apart from the 3 years that he wasn't born). Duh.
We just hang out, and mucked around; you know, what family do, whilst we waited for Sonny to get out of surgery.
At around 4-ish, the doctor interrupted us. He informed us that Sonny was out of surgery (thank goodness) and that it was successful (thank goodness). I was so glad that she is ok…
Chad and I then went to Sonny's room to see her.
Chad started asking Sonny out, I walked beside him to make my presence known, and then he finished it off. He had started with:
"Sonny… I love you. I love you more than life itself. I love you more than anything."
That's where I walked up beside him and he went on:
"Sonny, I need you more than cars need gas, I need you more than fish need water, I need you… More than anything. So… Will you be my girlfriend?" He ask her.
Oh my gosh, Chad, that is nice, you could have used better examples little bro, but it was heartfelt.
If I was Sonny there was no way I'd be able to resist that.
And clearly she couldn't – right away she said yes.
Then Mr Munroe came in, wondering what the hell was going on… Chad explained to him the situation.
*Sonny POV*
I woke up at about 8:15am, I was feeling pretty crap. The only good part of my sleep was dreaming about Chad.
I looked over to him, seeing him there with his hand in mine. Gosh, he is so sweet. He stayed here all night, sitting in the uncomfortable chair for me. ME! Sonny Munroe!
Well, I suppose it's understandable, Chad has changed a lot lately. He has become an amazing guy.
The doctor came in at 8:30 to do his check-up, to make sure I was ready to be operated on.
"How are you feeling this morning Allison?" He asked.
"I'm alive…" I told him, unable to think of something more positive. As I've said, the only thing that kept me going is Chad.
"Well, I'm just going to check the machines, if your strength is enough we will start operating immediately." He replied.
A few minutes later he said it was all good, he gassed me and I went into a dream.
I was there, in the car with Chad, heading up town, then I saw this truck heading for me, I tried to get out of the way, but I couldn't move, this stupid seatbelt was in the road. Before I got a chance to unclip it, the truck has hit the car, and me.
"You always cause these stupid things to happen. Why the hell did I come here with you?" Chad said.
I felt so sad; Chad is normally so nice and sweet.
"You are nothing but a stupid little girl. I can't believe I was friends with you! I can't believe I nearly asked you out!" He said.
"Stop it Chad!" I begged. "Stop being so mean! I love you!" I told him.
"Love! You wouldn't know what love is you silly little Random! Why the hell did I have to ruin my show by getting you on there?" He said, really venomous.
I hated this. Why was Chad being so mean? It was only a little while ago he was being so kind and sweet to me.
I woke up. Oh thank goodness – that was only a dream. The next minute the doctor showed Chad and Daddy in.
"Chaddddyyyyyyy!" I screamed out to him.
"Sonnnnyyyyyy!" He replied back.
He came over and gave me a huge hug. He was trying to be careful not to hurt me – this is the Chad I know and love.
"Sonny… I love you. I love you more than life itself. I love you more than anything…" He started saying. At that point Amy walked beside him to make her presence known.
"Sonny, I need you more than cars need gas, I need you more than fish need water, I need you… More than anything. So… Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks me.
"Oh my gosh Chad!" I screamed to him. "Of course I will!" I added.
Just then Amy started jumping up and down "Oh my gosh, this is so exciting!" She screamed.
Daddy came into the room with a stern look on his face. "What is so exciting?"
"Well Tom, I just asked Sonny out. I realised how much I really love her, and how much I want to be with her." Chad said to Daddy.
"Chad can please speak to you outside?" Dad asked.
"Sure…" Chad responded, looking cautious.
Man, why does Daddy have to be so protective? I spose, I am his one and only little girl. He has to be there for me.
I was still trying to get over the nightmare – Chad would never do that to me, I'm sure of it. Hell, I'm sure he is as insecure as I am, only he can hide it better.
Chaddy and Dad walked back into the room, with Daddy saying he gives us his blessing.
We then just sat around, talking about random stuff until dinner time.
At about 6:30 we decided to head to the café. Chaddy decided to push my wheelchair. Man, he is sweet.
We got to the café and sit down, and started eating, Chad looks over at some guy, in his mid-40's, a bit overweight, wearing a singlet and some disgusting shorts. Man, he looked like my uncle.
Chad excused himself, got up and went over to him…
Chad started screaming at him, but I have no idea what he was saying, I couldn't hear him properly.
He came back after his little yelling session.
"What was that all about?" I asked, curious.
"That was the dipshit who did that to you." He said, pointing to my wheelchair.
I couldn't help but laugh at that – that word is so funny.
So apparently my operation went perfectly, I still had a bit of time and work to do before I could get back to normal, but, I knew I would get there.
We went home after dinner, the doctor gave the OK for me to check out.
When we got home, Chaddy and I decided to watch a movie. He set up the couch in a special way so I didn't have to sit in the wheelchair. Thank goodness. It's so uncomfortable.
Daddy, Nic and Amy were off doing other things.
Part way through the movie, Chaddy started saying something to me.
"Sonny, I am so freaking blessed to have such an amazing friend, well, girlfriend. It'll take me a while to get used to the fact we are going out now. Anyway, Sonshine, you are a great person, you are a small town girl, with impeccable morals.
"You have amazing parents who brought you up so wonderfully. I gotta be honest, I'm a little jealous of you Sonny. See, I wish, I really wish, I could be so amazing. I have this stupid, egomaniac public persona. I don't like having to be like that. I am so glad I can be real around you." He told me.
"Chad, you are the most amazing young man I know. You know, when I was living here before I moved to Hollywood, my friends and I used to pretend that we were Mrs Cooper, and well, apart from the fact we aren't married yet, I pretty much am Mrs Cooper now. I love that I can say that."
"But Chad, it's not the fact you are famous that I love Chad Dylan Cooper. I love the young man who hangs out with me, doing nothing on our days off. The guy who drove me and my best friend all the way to Wisconsin, the guy who, sat next to me, sleeping in an uncomfortable chair all night, with his hand in mine. This is the stuff, I see, that the world doesn't. This is what I love about you." I told him honestly.
I knew Chad was insecure, I was glad he could be honest with me. That's what great friendships, and great relationships, are based on. Complete honesty.
"Chad, I have something to tell you, it's been bothering me all day." I said to him shyly.
"What is it sweetie?" He asked caringly.
"Well, Chaddy, when I was in theatre, I had a dream, well, more of a nightmare, basically, you told me that I'm a stupid little girl, that you couldn't believe you were friends with me, and all sorts of other horrible things." I told him.
"Sonny, I would never do that to you. I need you! You need me! We need each other." He said.
"I could never live without you Sonny, if it weren't for you, right now I'd be in Hollywood, with some fake, blonde, airhead bimbo, who cares more about how much she weighs, pounding her face with make-up and working out which part of her body to be changed next. I'd be causing some sort of controversy, and hating myself for it." He added.
"You have made me the guy you just described. And I will be forever in your debt." He said.
We went back to watching the movie, and shortly after we both fell asleep, virtually at the same time, laying on the couch, my head on his chest, our arms wrapped around each other.
At about 2am, 3 hours after we fell asleep, I woke up, I was feeling a little thirsty, but I couldn't move. I decided I'd wake up Chaddy and see if he'd get me a bottle of water.
"Chaddy." I said, while nudging him.
He woke up, making some strange noises in the process. Cute!
"Sonny." He replied.
"Chaddy, sorry to wake you up, but I need a drink, would you be able to grab me a bottle of water, pretty please?" I said to him.
"Of course Sonshine, be back in a minute." He replied.
He is so great; I owe him something big for this.
He came back with a bottle of water for me. He laid back on the couch, like he was before.
I drank the water and went back to the position we were in before I woke him up.
"Thanks so much for that honey." I said to him.
"Anytime sweetie. I love you Sonny. I'll do anything for you. You are my Sonshine." He replied back.
I went back to sleep, as did Chad.
*Chad POV*
After we had dinner we all went back to the house, the doctor said it was OK for Sonny to go home.
We got home and Sonny and I decided to watch a movie, gosh it must have been about 10pm when I decided to tell her something.
I decided to tell her how amazing she is, and that I am so insecure about myself, because of my stupid public persona.
For a long time I've wanted to get rid of it, but every time I try, my stupid agent tell me it's good for my career. I'll be seen as "boring" and people won't be interested in my show, or in me, which means I'd be likely to get kicked off the falls, and that means no money to support my family.
That's what it all comes down to. Supporting my family. To tell you the truth, I didn't even care about acting anymore. When I started out, it was great, I loved being famous, I loved having people adore me, I loved the money, I really loved the money, I loved my cars, all my possessions, but now, there is only ONE thing that I love, only one thing that keeps me going. Sonny! Well, my family as well. The only reason I was still acting is for my family.
But I was in love with Sonny. Sonny is the reason I wake up every morning.
So, to provide for my family, I had to have this stupid persona, but thanks to Sonny, I didn't need that behind the scenes anymore.
At around 11ish, we went to sleep. Sonny is so cute, she was laying on the couch, her head against my chest, breathing in sync with my heartbeats, it was so cute, our arms wrapped around each other, but of course, it was totally innocent.
She woke me up at about 2am, wanting water. Well, of course I was going to get it for her. I got up, went for a walk to the kitchen, I went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and took it back to m'lady.
We had another little chat and went back to sleep.
A/N- Well, that's it for this chap, I decided I'd best stop here. Chad and Sonny are so cute, right?
I love seeing Chad like this, so caring, and what not. Anyway, review, and let me know your thoughts.
Bobbie!
