Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny with a chance. But thanks for assuming I did! It makes me feel special.

Okay, so I originally was going to update yesterday, but I had a bad day and knew that if I wrote then I might kill Chad off, so I decided to wait. I hope it was worth it. I stabbed myself with scissors today. Can we say ow? So I'm writing without my left index finger. If there are mistakes, I'll try to fix them, but it's harder to type. However, after 19 whole reviews, how could I not update?

SPOV

I don't know how long I stood there after Jason's truck pulled away and sped off, but I faintly remember it getting dark and wandering to the beach. I plopped down on the sand, staring at the waves. He was gone. But…what about his girlfriend?

I shrugged. Not my problem. He left for me. I couldn't help but feel a small victory at that, but I just wanted him back where he belonged. If Jason laid a finger on him….

I shook my head, choosing not to think about that fact. Yes, it was most likely a fact. I mean, he already almost killed the boy. What makes you think he won't try again?

I shuddered, more aware now. I knew that it was dangerous to be out here this late in a secluded area, but I couldn't bring myself to move when the danger had sped off with the boy I loved with all of my heart. I mean, how do you recover from that?

Eventually, I began to walk in the direction I hoped the studios would be. Maybe I could get back. However, it was more likely that I was going the wrong direction. My brain was all messed up. Even if I was going in the right direction, it wouldn't matter. Jason had driven for a long time. I was pretty far away. I was guessing I'd have to find someone to take me home.

I wandered to a random house and knocked on the door. It couldn't be later than nine. Could it?

A little kid in their pajamas opened the door and screamed. "Mom, oh Mommy, it's Sonny Monroe!"

Their mom came to the door. "Go to bed, I'm sure it isn't….Sonny? Sonny Monroe?"

I nodded, feeling greatly appreciated. "Yeah. Hi, sweetie. Um, hello ma'am, I just….well, I was dropped off here and have no idea how to get home. Can you by any chance give me a ride? I'm sorry for bothering you." The lady nodded, and I smiled at her appreciatively. "Thank you."

The little girl clung onto my leg. "Can I have an autograph, Sonny? I love you so much! You're my favorite on So Random!"

I grinned. "Of course you can. Wow, I feel so loved. Do you have a pen and paper?"

She nodded and ran away, only to appear a minute later with a pen and paper. I smiled. "What's your name?"

"Kelly."

I grinned. "I love that name. It reminds me of my friend from Wisconsin. She was the nicest person I ever knew." I signed her photo of me and gave it back to her as her mom grabbed her keys.

"Kelly, go to bed, okay? I'll be back in two hours. And no, you can't come. It's past your bedtime."

Kelly pouted but ran upstairs after hugging both of us and exclaiming, "I can't wait to tell all of my friends!"

I laughed, watching her leave as her mom locked up the house. "Well, Sonny, I hope you know you made my daughter very happy. She's a big fan."

I laughed again, feeling better for a minute, but worrying about Chad at the same time. "I could tell. She's very sweet."

Her mom smiled at me as we got into her van. "Well, she adores you. I do too. You're a wonderful role model, Sonny. You know, besides the fact that your ex-boyfriend abused you. But that was not your fault."

I winced. Ugh, I forgot the tabloids had known about that. But Chad had been there for me. "Yeah, well, I'm just glad that's over." Lies!

She smiled at the rearview mirror. "So, who dropped you off here?"

I sighed, knowing I'd have to lie. Again. "Um, Chad did. Yeah, we were going to work out our breakup, but then he got an urgent call and had to leave."

She looked shocked. "And he just left you? Well, I can see why you broke up with that Cooper kid."

I laughed. "It was an emergency. He gave me money for a cab, but I couldn't find one. And actually, he broke up with me."

She gave me a confused look. "Why?"

I sighed. "I don't know." Unwelcome tears slipped down my face as my voice cracked. "He said he loved me, but…I guess that changed."

She sighed. "Oh, Sonny. Men come and go, but friends will help you through it. You'll find your happy ending. A girl like you has to have one."

This time, my laughter was bitter. "I'm beginning to give up on the concept of happily ever after."

She shrugged. "Don't give up yet. Maybe you'll find Mr. Right somewhere."

I nodded, but I didn't really believe her. Maybe wasn't the answer I was looking for right now. After what Chad did for me, I didn't necessarily want to cast him in a bad light, but I was still a little upset that he cheated on me.

The car was silent, but I welcomed it, thinking about how I used to be able to read Chad like a book, and now I couldn't tell what he was thinking at all. Maybe I never really knew him. All I knew was that he needed to come back in one piece.

I bit my lip, trying to stop a sob from escaping as I thought about all of the moments we had spent together when I saw the love in his eyes, even before we were together. It had seemed ridiculous to me then that an angel like that had loved me, and it still did. I guess he has to spread his love. Earth was just borrowing him for a while. So Chad needs to be okay. He just needs to.

"Sonny, how much do you really know about Chad?"

CPOV

As we reached out final destination, Jason pulled me up and dragged me into a house. I had awakened about twenty minutes ago.

He snarled at me. "Come on, loser. Move faster."

As he ungagged me, I used the opportunity to remark, "Ouch. You know, if I didn't have such high self-esteem, that might have actually hurt. Whoops, wouldn't have cared anyway."

He was prepared as he punched me in the eye, knocking me to the ground. "You sure seem to care when it's your parents saying it to you."

I bit my lip. "Shut up, Jason. It's none of your business. I don't even know how you found out."

He grinned, chuckling. "That's for me to know, and you…not to. If you ever make it out of here alive, I think that's a story I just have to sell to the tabloids."

My eyes widened, but I bit my tongue. He said I might be getting out of here alive. He might give up. One question though: Would Sonny be safe if he let me go?

Chapter 14! Sorry it took so long, but I honestly was in tears yesterday (I think I was just having a bad day) and I did really stab myself with scissors today. So, yeah. Time to spell check for me. Okay, tell me how much you loved/hated it! Sorry, Anna, I'm gonna insult myself anyway! SMILES!

LOL
