Both of our eyes widened with terror. I grabbed Sonny's hand and ran to the door, only to find it jammed. Oh crap! We ran to the other door and opened it. My heart pounded as I tried to remember which way to go. Sonny pulled me to the left, and we sprinted swiftly down the hallway, until we came to a dead end. But wait, there was a window!
"Sonny, go over in the corner, and put your jacket over your head! Now!" I screamed, as I took off my jacket and covered my eyes with it.
Sonny did as she was told. I kicked the window open, and glass shattered everywhere. I ran over to Sonny and picked her up. I carried her out of the broken remains of the window, and out into the sunshine. I collapsed against the wall, with her in my arms, and full on cried. I couldn't believe I almost lost her. What if I couldn't get us out? What if we ended up dying? She would've died because of me. All because of me. Sonny wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek. She laid her head gently on my chest, and she too started crying. I heard sirens, and I knew we were going to be okay. The firefighters put out the fire on the other side of the building, and then left, not even noticed Sonny and I sitting against the building.
I could just sit there forever. With Sonny in my lap, hugging me and I hugging her. So at peace with the world. Not caring what somebody had to say, or what things the magazines would make up about us. I kissed her forehead, keeping my lips there for a bit longer than I should have, since she looked up at me with those warm brown eyes, filled with tears. I leaned down and kissed her, and my heart soared like it had never before. This kiss was perfect. It was the most amazing thing a guy could ever experience. I smiled into the kiss, never wanting it to end. And as long as Sonny was in my arms, she would be safe. I wouldn't ever let anything hurt her. I'd die for her if I had to, because I, Chad Dylan Cooper, am in love with Sonny Monroe, and there wasn't anything that would ever change my mind.
"Chad?" Sonny said as she pulled away from the kiss, almost in a whisper.
"Yeah babe?" I asked as I combed her hair with my fingers.
"I don't know if I can handle all of this. Dating you, and all the drama that comes with it is too much for me." She said, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"A-Are you breaking up with me?" I asked. The words tasted like vinegar.
"Yeah, I think I am. I'm sorry Chad." She said as she wiped away another tear, and ran out to her car, leaving me and my tears, which seemed to flow like a waterfall. Never ending, never stopping, and always aching.

I ran to my car, and as soon as I got in, I burst into tears. They were the kind of tears that hurt your heart, and that seem to never stop. I sat there and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. My God, what had this world come to? A girl having to break both her heart and her boyfriend's heart just because of her so called best friends and the magazine writers who had nothing to do with their lives, ruined everybody else's. I knew I shouldn't have broken up with him, but what else could I have done? I knew I couldn't handle all of the press about her and Chad, and all the lies that covered the pages of the magazines. I knew I couldn't bear having my friends mad at me for keeping Chad and I a secret, when I knew the reaction they would have when they found out, and that's why I kept it a secret. Today had been one of the worst days I've ever had. I've officially lost a place to live, lost my best friends, and lost the guy.. I love. It's weird though, how a fire is ignited from a spark, but that fire grows to destroy a forest, but then, the forest grows back, new life beginning, and new stories to tell, but then, once again, a fire ruins it all. Surely everything would grow back again this time. If it didn't, the sunshine wouldn't be shining on something beautiful. It'd be shining on death. And death it would all become if I didn't fix this…
First of all, I'm sooooooo sorry for not writing anything for like a year! I've just been so busy, and I completely forgot about FF. \: But I'm back now! This story will consist of about 10 chapters hopefully, and will be done by Christmastime. :)
Thanks!
