Well I'm hoping this chapter will be a bit more interesting than the last one lol happy reading :')

Chapter 10

Chad's POV

As my eyes drifted open I realised that I was lying on something surprisingly warm. I looked up to find a zombified Sonny. "Sonny?" I asked concerned. She seemed dazed and not her usual self.

"Oh you're awake" She tried to smile but it wasn't her usual happy smile, the smile that lit up my world.

C: "Are you ok?"

S: "Yeah I'm fine just really tired, how about you?"

C: "I'm good…I think, where are we?"

S: "We're at the hospital honey, don't you remember?"

C: "Oh" I lowered my head as all the memories from last night came flooding back. "I have to see her, is she alright?"

S: "She's in the same condition as she was last night, there's nothing you can do for her right now Chad, we just have to hope"

"Sonny's right Chad" Katie told me as I sat up and took Sonny's hand in mine

C: "But what if she never comes out of the coma? What if they have to switch off her machine? What if she dies Katie?" Sonny's hand tightened around mine to show me that she was here for me.

K: "We just have to hope and pray but I know that you want her to stay with us and so we all do but if she doesn't recover from this we'll just have to accept the fact that it was her time to go"

C: "But…but…but I don't want her to die we have so many good memories"

K: "Yeah and you'll be able to cherish those memories for a very long time but don't think of the worst right now, she could still pull through" and as if on cue the doctor came out of my grandmas room and walked towards us.

"I have some good news your grandmother has woken up, we don't know how long she will be stable for but you can see her if you like" I was so relieved when he said those words. We thanked him and Katie and I got up from our seats. I walked towards the door and turned back to Sonny "You know I would really appreciate if you came in with us" I smiled genuinely.

"You know that I'm here for you no matter what so if that's what you want then of course" She lazily lifted herself off the seat and grabbed my hand. Katie stepped in the room first followed by me, then sonny who still had hold of my hand.

I was shocked to see my grandma attached to machines and wires coming from every part of her fragile body. I held back my tears and went to sit beside her bed, she didn't deserve this. She wasn't a nasty person, why was God punishing her? The worst things always happen to the nicest of people, Grandma Cooper, Sonny, it just isn't fair.

"Are you ok grandma?"

"What do you think darling?" she asked pointing to the drip in her hand.

"I'm sorry I just really don't know what to say"

"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, I'm just glad you two are here" she glanced over to Katie who was fast asleep in the chair resting her head on sonny who was also asleep.

"I'm really worried about you, are you going to be ok?"

"You shouldn't worry about me I'll be fine, just think about your own life, you've got a lot to look forward to you know"

"I know but that's not important right now"

"Listen honey at the moment I just want to take my mind off things, is that understandable?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry"

"It's ok sweet heart you're still only young and have a lot to learn", so that must be sonny?"

"Err how did you know her name?"

"Darling you never stop talking about her"

"I do to" She gave me the 'really Chad, really' look that I was obviously familiar with.

"Alright fine, I do talk about her a lot but I'm in love with her" wow that was awkward telling my grandma that, I don't think I've even told my mom.

"Well that's sweet but make sure if you really do love her promise me you'll never let her go or do anything stupid, we all know what a jerk you can be" wow I must be a jerk at times if my own grandmother says that.

"Grandma you know me better than anyone so you must have noticed how Sonny has changed me. I'm not an idiot; I know that Sonny is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I wouldn't let my stupidity ruin what we have"

"Chad, you remind me so much of a younger version of your grandpa but with more her obviously. He was a romantic like you" I laughed since when did I become romantic? Ah Sonny, yep she's definitely changed me. "Me and your grandpa we loved each other so much and now he's gone"

"Do you believe in heaven?"

"I don't know I'll let you know" She laughed

"You shouldn't think like that but you never know, when you go to heaven, you might meet him again"

"Aw Chad, that's such a nice thought"

"But now I understand why you aren't worried about dying, I couldn't live without Sonny" it made me think about what Katie said earlier, yeah it is her time to go, painlessly, peacefully. I turned around to look at Sonny and just as I did her eyes fluttered open to reveal her gorgeous brown eyes "Hey beautiful" She smiled and her smile was back, the smile that I fell for. She carefully moved her head but accidentally nudged Katie awake "Oh sorry Katie"

"Its ok" she smiled sincerely. She got up off the chair, stretched and made her way to the other side of grandma Cooper's bed. I took her place beside Sonny and put my arm around her. She rested her head on my shoulder and asked if I was ok now. "Yeah thank you, I'm a lot better now that I've actually spoken to her, Katie was right it is her time to go, she just wants to be with grandpa, and I can see that you're a lot better now you've had some rest. You got your smile back" She giggled "There it is" we both laughed and cuddled whilst Katie talked to our grandma.

"Make sure you look after Ruben, Grace and of course Steven"

"Grandma please don't talk silly you're not going anywhere"

"Katie there's no point in pretending. We both know what's going to happen"

"I know but I just can't imagine life without you" tears streamed down her face making it red and blotchy.

"Look after yourself darling" she whispered as she kissed Katie's forehead.

"I'll never forget you grandma, and I'll make sure the kids don't either" as she said this more tears streamed down her face and it made me well up.

"Sonny will you come here please honey?" Sonny looked at me with worry spread across her face, I just nodded and she went to my grandma's bedside and knelt down.

"Sonny you know Chad really loves you right?"

"Yeah and I deeply love him too"

"I'm sure you do but seriously don't let him mess you about" I found it ridiculous that my grandma was warning my girlfriend what I was like. Shouldn't she be sticking up for me? I knew already though that sonny thought the conversation was pointless. Sonny can stand on her own two feet and I know that if I messed Sonny about it would be over between us and she could make her own mind up.

"I'll give him a slap from you" sonny laughed. I love how she could always lighten the mood with humour.

"I've never seen him like this over a girl before, look after him for me won't you?"

"Of course Mrs. Cooper, but I'm sure he can take care of himself"

"You'd be surprised" they both laughed.

'beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep'

"What's going on?" Katie screamed. Doctors rushed in

"You need to leave"

"No I'm not leaving" I tried to push my way through but we were held back.

"123 charge…try again…charge…no pulse again?...charge…

"Nooooo please keep trying" Katie begged

"I'm afraid it's hopeless ma'am" The doctor said.

"Time of death 3:42" another doctor pronounced.

"Nooooooo this can't be happening it must be a dream" Katie cried as she tried pinching herself. I took her in my arms and let her cry. I must have been all cried out because I couldn't seem to cry. Yes I was upset but I understood that she wanted to go, she wanted to be with grandpa and I guess our conversation really helped me to understand things a lot better and I accepted the fact that it was her time to go just like Katie told me to be before. Grandma Cooper was finally happy.

I'm so sorry don't hate me :( reasons will be come clear in the next few chapters I think :D please review review review!
