Tawni's POV

I sat in the prop house, filling my nails to perfection. Each nail went straight across, and I was careful not to ruin my newly-manicured frenchy. It just looked too perfect to go to waist. Like me!

Nico and Grady ran into the prop house, carrying a bag of popcorn. They looked like wild animals, jumping up and down for no apparent reason. It was sick.

Zora peeked out of her sarcophagus to see what all the noise was coming from. When she spotted Nico and Grady, she rolled her eyes and shut the door again. I stared for a few moments, and shuddered. 12-year olds.

"Yo man, I think we are going to find the most perfect popcorn twins we have ever seen!" Nico said proudly, inspecting each one carefully.

"Yeah! And then we could give them to Sonny when she comes back!" Grady agreed excitedly. Me and Nico froze. Suddenly, I didn't feel like filling my nails anymore.

Nico just nodded, and continued inspecting the popcorn without as much courage and happiness as before. I clenched my filler, and breathed in and out.

Grady had made up this little thing about Sonny only being asleep so he wouldn't have to be sad all the time. I tried to tell him that it was stupid, but every time he would shut me off and say that he didn't like sad thoughts.

I heard a whimper from Zora's sarcophagus, and considered getting up. Zora has been in there more than usually lately. She sometimes cries, sometimes thinks, and the other times, well, I don't want to know.

I sighed, and continued to file my nails, attempting to get my mind off of Sonny. Of course, that didn't work too well.

Every since she- well, she left, Condor Studios didn't seem so happy and "Sonny" anymore. Our sketches weren't as funny anymore. Marshal seemed tired all the time and it wasn't going well with . The Mackenzie Falls cast even seemed less proud of themselves as usual, and less selfish. Then, there was Chad.

There was no more sparkle in his eyes. (or as Sonny liked to say, his right eye.) He was never smiling, only for his acting. He acted better now than usual, since he was already depressed. Whenever he came to lunch, he would get his lobster or steak or whatever, sit at his table, and just stare at it. The most he would take was a couple of bites out of it. That was it. I was really starting to get worried about him. He always seemed distant, like there was nothing he cared about anymore. He still visited the hospital, though. He would go after work, and a couple of times on the weekends. Sao far, it has been two weeks since the accident, and Condor Studios has not been well.

I sighed, and got up. I began wandering around Condor studios until, surprisingly, my feet led me to the Mackenzie Falls set. I looked up at the banned wall list. The So Random cats was off of it. I sighed in relief, and went inside. I headed toward Chad's dressing room, and when I reached there I stopped. It was a big star on it that said Chad Dylan Cooper. I lifted my hand up, and lightly knocked on the door. I heard a short thud and some shuffling inside. I knocked again, and heard a muffled "Who is it?"

"Tawni." I answered, and waited. A minute later, he opened the door. I gasped.

His hair was a mess, going this way and that. His clothed were wrinkled, and his face looked like he hadn't slept in a few days. "Chad, what-" He pulled me inside hastily, and slammed the door behind him. I yelped at the sudden movement, but steadied myself. I turned back towards him.

CPOV

I sighed, and turned around. Tawni was standing there staring at me, with her arms crossed. I ran a hand through my hair, and motioned for her to sit on the couch. She obliged, and I sat down next to her. She bit her lip, and turned toward me.

"How are you?" She asked sincerely. I scoffed. What kind of question was that? How could I be alright when the love of my life is in the hospital because of me? Was the even possible?

She placed a comforting hand I my shoulder. I flinched; I wasn't used to Tawni being so nice. She had softened up in the past two weeks, but I still had to get used to it.

"Chad." She said firmly. I sighed, and turned to her. She didn't look so good either. Her hair didn't bounce as it normally did, and her eyes looked tired. But of course, she still had all that makeup on. Even in the worst of times, Tawni Hart would still try to look pretty. But not as pretty as Son-another girl I wont say her name since I'll break down crying.

"What?" I asked her. She looked me in the eyes, and sighed. "You have to hold yourself together. It's not the end of the world just because So-" I flinched, and she started again. "Just because she isn't here right now, doesn't mean she isn't with us. She wouldn't want you to be this way, Chad. She would want you to make the best out of this situation, which you aren't doing." She took her hand off my shoulder and played with her fingers. "We all miss her. But it's not the end of the world. She'll come back. She just needs some time. Trust me. Soon enough, we'll see her skipping around the hallways giving everyone homemade brownies again. And I know that she'll come back. Because she loves you."

I looked up at her, on the verge of tears. That was the first time Tawni said that she loves me. Even though I couldn't hear it from her, hearing it from her best friend was a close second. "You really think she loves me?" I squeaked. Tawni smiled and nodded eagerly. The corners of my lip turned up a bit, and I got up and stretched. "Thanks for that, Tawn. I really needed that." I looked back at her, and she was looking at me with wide eyes. I froze, and looked at my arms. Uh-oh.

My sleeved had went up when I stretched, and you could see cuts and dried blood all over part of my arm. I gulped, and quickly reached to pull my sleeve back down. But Tawni was too fast. She got up and grabbed my right arm, pulling up my sleeve. I tried to protest, but she was holding my wrist so tightly that I didn't say a word. Her eyes became wide as she inspected all the cuts on my arm, and ran her fingers over the dried blood, her mouth becoming an O. She looked up at me, pure hatred in her eyes.

"What is this?" She asked. I tried using my acting skills to lie, but it didn't work. "I got into a fight." I said, but I could tell from her eyes that she didn't believe me. I looked at the ground, and she let go of my arm. She took a deep breath, and fixed her gaze on me.

"CHAD DYLAN COOPER WHAT IN YOUR RIGHT MIND DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!?!?" She screamed. I quickly covered her mouth, and pointed towards the door. What if people heard her? I would never live it down.

She bit my hand, and I quickly pulled my hand away, disgusted. She glared at me, about to cry. "How could you do this to yourself?" She asked. I just shrugged, and sat down in a chair, putting my head in my hands. "I don't know. I just can't take it anymore. She's not going to wake up. She's going to leave me. She's gonna abandon me here, leave me all alone. I just can't take it."

"And so you cut yourself?!?" She hissed at me. I looked up, and saw her sitting on the knees right in front of me. I shrugged, leaning into the chair.

"And what if she does wake up? Chad, you're killing yourself. This isn't right. You're gonna hurt her." She lectured me. I sat there, confused. "Hurt her?"

"If she wakes up, what is she going to think when she sees the love of her life cutting himself? She'll be heartbroken. That's not gonna be good for her, coming out of a coma."

I sighed, and Tawni stuck out her hand. I looked at her questionably, and she clenched her jaw. "Give me the blade, the razor, the knife, whatever you're using to kill yourself. Hand it over." She said in a dead serious tone. I was about to argue, but the look in her eyes terrified me. She was going to get it either way.

I got up, and went over to my jacket. I pulled out the pocketknife, and handed it over to her. She shook her head, and headed towards the door. She opened it, and paused. She looked back at me. "Tomorrow, 3'oclock. We're going to the hospital." I nodded, since I went everyday anyways. She nodded back, and shut the door.

3:00 the next day

CPOV

Me and Tawni entered Sonny's hospital room, me in the lead. When I saw Sonny, I froze.

Her brown hair didn't shine in the light like it usually did. Her chocolate brown eyes were protected from my view under her eyelids. Her skin was still pale, like always. Her lips were turning a little bit pink again, which lifted my hopes and spirits up a lot.

Tawni urged me forward, and I sat down in one of the chairs beside Sonny's bed. She sat in the one on the other side, and clutched Sonny's hand. "Her skin's so cold." Tawni whispered. I nodded, staring at Sonny's face.

But something was off.

Her skin wasn't as freakishly pale as it was the last time I visited. It was slightly tanner now, giving her more of a color. I sighed in relief. This definitely meant that she was getting better now.

Tawni stared at her face, frightened. She probably didn't visit as much as me, so she didn't see Sonny getting better. To her, she probably looked worse. I made circles with my thumb on Sonny's hand smoothly.

Sonny's hand twitched. I jerked back, my chair scooting across the floor. I jumped out of my chair, and locked eyes with a bewildered Tawni. I shook my head, shocked.

"What?" Tawni exclaimed. She stood up and grabbed my shoulders, shaking me. My teeth clanged together, and I came out of my sudden shock.

"H-her hand twitched." I managed. Tawni froze, and then looked back at Sonny. Tears welled up in her eyes, as she took her seat and started mumbling something to Sonny, probably begging her to open her eyes. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I turned toward the windows, and admired the beautiful view, trying not to think of Sonny.

"I'm going to get some coffee, you want some?" Tawni asked, getting up. I shook my head. She walked out of the room.

I lifted up my sleeve to show all my cuts and bruises. I flinched. How could I do this to myself? I was killing myself, just for a girl.

I sighed. It wasn't just any girl. It was Sonny Monroe. My girl. My sonshine.

I pulled my sleeve back up, wincing as it touched all my misery.

"C-Chad?" A hoarse voice said. I sighed. "What?"

But the voice didn't answer. I turned around, but no one was in the room. My eyes landed on Sonny.

Her lips were parted slightly, and her hands were grasping onto the sheets. I rushed over to her, sitting on the edge of the bed. I brushed her hair out of her face. Her eyes fluttered open, pools of chocolate now visible. They were more beautiful then I remembered them being.

"Sonny!" I exclaimed. She jumped a little, until her eyes rested on me. "Chad." She breathed. I nodded eagerly, grabbing her hand in mine and squeezing it. She squeezed back a little, still very weak. My heart leaped right out of my chest. She was here with me. Alive. And well. This was all I needed.

I pulled her in for a hug, burying my face into her hair. "I missed you so much." I mumbled. "M-me too." She said, leaning closer into me. I breathed in deeply, wanting this moment to last forever. She pulled away, and I instantly felt disappointed. Once I saw the happiness in her eyes, I became instantly better again.

Sunlight came in from the window, reflecting on Sonny. She giggled, and I grinned. I had waited so long to hear that giggle of hers. So long to see her smile, and just to see her chocolate brown eyes. But even longer just to tell her how I felt.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. I had been so depressed, I hadn't even thought about the whole Skylar thing. The way Skylar told me that she never really felt anything towards me, that she was just making a bet. But it worked. I did fall in love with her.

She noticed my sudden change in mood, and looked into my eyes. "Chad, what's wrong?"

I stared back into hers, getting lost into them. Her eyes were perfect. But I couldn't get distracted. I bit my lip, looking away from her and to the ground. "T-That bet with Skylar. It wasn't true, right?" I asked cautiously. She sighed, and my heart stopped. Of course it was. She would never want to be my friend. I was a selfish, arrogant jerk who never cared about people.

"You still believe what he said?" She asked me. She put her hand on my cheek. "Chad, look at me." She mumbled. I obeyed.

"I would never make a bet with Skylar. I never talked to him in my entire life. I would never hurt you like that." I smiled, my heart really filling with love again. So she did care about me. That was all I needed.

"Fine." I mumbled.

"Fine." She grinned, happy to be playing our little game.

"Good." I shot back playfully.

"Good."

So are we good?"

"Oh, we are so- good!" I smirked back, leaning in. She leaned in too, and butterflies filled my stomach. My palms began getting sweaty. We were just inches apart, I could feel the heat coming off of her skin,-

"SONNY!!!" Someone screamed.

Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!!? We both jumped in surprise, going back to our earlier positions.

I quickly turned around, and saw Tawni drop her cup of coffee onto the floor, and rush over to us. She engulfed Sonny in a huge hug, grinning like mad. Sonny always had that affect on us.

"Tawni!" Sonny cried back. "You're here! I can't believe it!" Her cheeks were bright red, and she didn't look at me. I had never felt more awkward in my life.

Tawni let go of her, giving me a glare. "Why didn't you call me when she woke up?!?" She exclaimed. I shrugged. "She just woke up like a few minutes ago." I responded casually. Tawni reached over the bed and wacked the back of my head. "A few minutes are a long time!" She snapped playfully.

"OW!" I cried, rubbing the back of my head. This sent Sonny into a fit of giggles, which I couldn't help but smile warmly at, ignoring the comeback to Tawni I was about to say. We'll save revenge at Tawni for later. Especially for breaking me and Sonny's magical moment.

My phone rang, making us all jump up in surprise. I grabbed it off the table, and looked at the caller ID. "It's Nico." I said to them Sonny reached out her hand, her eyes pleading. Can I answer. I nodded, and handed the phone to her. When our hands touched, fireworks went throughout my whole body. I ignored them.

Sonny pressed talk, and brang the phone excitedly up to her ear. "Hello?"

I heard talking on the other end, and Sonny face scrunched up in confusion. Stupid cute. "No, this is not Chad." She said.

I scoffed. I did NOT have a girly voice.

I heard muffled sounds on the other line, and then screams that were so loud Sonny pulled the phone away from her ear.

"SONNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE COMING TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!" We heard Nico scream, and them Grady scream in the background. This set us into fits of laughed, until we were clutching our sides and tears were rolling down our cheeks. Sonny choked, and me and Tawni quickly stopped, reached over to her. "Sonny?" I asked, scared. "W-water." She croaked. I quickly poured her a glass, my heart beating fast. I handed it to her, and she drank it all in one gulp. When she was finished, she handed the cup over to me. I filled it again and set it on the table, just in case.

"Thanks." She breathed. I sighed with relief. She was OK.

"You scared me!" Tawni placed a hand over her heart, but then quickly realized what she just said. "Not that Tawni Hart gets scared." She quickly covered up. Me and Sonny smirked at each other. Same old Tawni.

I grabbed Sonny's hand, and she smiled warmly at me, sending shivers up my spine. Just having her here with us again, it felt so right. I smiled back, noticing Tawni eye my sleeves that were protecting all my cuts and bruises, and then me. I ignored her.

Me and sonny had a lot of catching up to do.

This chapter didn't have as much Channy as I planned, but in the next chapter the whole gang will be together once again! And Skylar MIGHT make an appearance!

I need like at least 10 reviews to make the next chapter! Oh, and give me ideas! That would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading! Hope you have a good mid-winter break! (for those of you who have it, like me)
