. Chapter 13 .
My Only One
CPOV
I woke up about an hour later.
At first, nothing made sense to me.
Why was I in my bed? Why was I even awake at two o'clock in the morning? I sighed before stumbling out of my bed and out the door to look around. I quirked an eyebrow when I found my house was empty and quiet.
I sighed as I walked towards the window to look and see if Danielle's car was there. I groaned when I found she was gone. Where the heck had she gone this late, or really I should say this early in the morning? Unless she had some secret boyfriend I knew nothing about, there was no reason for her to be out of the house.
And that's when everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours came rushing back to me.
I had to reach a hand out to lean against the wall so I didn't fall to the ground.
Sonny had run off to some bar. She had been taken away. Probably by Vanessa. Sonny calling. Her telling me she didn't love me. And now she was probably somewhere. Somewhere she didn't want me to come find her at.
The next thing I knew, I was on my knees with my head buried in my hands. I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks and the loud sobs ripping through my body.
Suddenly, I heard the front door bang open and a second of silence before the sound of footsteps pounding up the stairs reached my ears. A second later a figure was crouching down next to me and rubbing my shoulder.
"Oh, Chad," I heard Danielle sigh.
And that's when I completely lost it.

Later that morning I'd finally calmed down enough to sit at the breakfast table and get some cereal or toast. That didn't mean I was eating it. I was playing with it more than seemed appropriate.
"Chad," I heard Danielle start hesitantly. I sighed and looked up to see her with a frown on her face. She seemed to be concentrating on something.
That's when my cell phone started vibrating.
Hope flared within me. Maybe it was Sonny. Maybe she was calling me to say everything was a big mistake. Maybe she was coming back to California and she wanted me to meet her. Maybe she actually loved me. Maybe-
My hopes were shot down in a second when I saw that the caller ID was an unknown number.
I set to put my phone back down on the counter but Danielle caught my eye. She seemed to be begging me to take the phone call. But, why would she want me to talk to somebody I probably didn't even know? It was probably an old fan that had somehow gotten my number.
I flipped open the phone and pressed it to my ear before speaking. "Hello?" I winced at how much my voice cracked with just one word.
"Chad."
My heart seemed to stop as I heard the voice. "T-Tawni?" I asked quietly. Why was she even calling me? The last Sonny and I had heard from her was about three years ago and she always hated me when were both at Condor Studios.
"I'm gonna be blunt here. You need to get Sonny back."
I gaped at the counter top.
How could somebody who I hadn't talked to, let alone even seen, in three years say something like that? To me, it was downright rude and left me speechless. "First of all, why do you even care Tawni? I haven't talked to you in three years-"
"She's lying to you."
My breath caught in my throat. "W-What?"
There was a moment of silence before I heard Tawni take a shaky breath. "Look, I'm not gonna give you the whole story but just know this: she is completely miserable without you. She's hurting as much as you are."
And with that the line went dead.
The room was completely silent. "What..." I just sat speechless. There was no way Sonny could be as hurt as I was, it was her decision to leave in the first place. There was no way she loved me.
Unless...
My breathe caught in my throat as a memory from four years ago came rushing back to my mind.
"Chad, I'd never leave you unless I absolutely had to."
Unless she absolutely had to. She had stood true to that promise and she hadn't left me. Ever. There was nothing coming between us-
"No," I whispered as it hit me. I could feel everything clicking in the back of my mind. It was her. Vanessa. "Excuse me," I said quietly as I pushed my chair away and rushed out of the room as fast as I could.
I didn't catch the smirk Danielle was sending my way.

A week later I was about ready to snap.
I had figured just about everything out. It was Vanessa that had taken Sonny that night and then basically held her hostage until she broke my heart. She had forced her to make me believe that she didn't love me.
The only thing holding me back now was I had absolutely no idea where Sonny was at the moment.
And the only person who knew was the she-devil herself.
Which was why I was currently walking around sunny LA with Vanessa. She had latched onto my arm and honestly, it was immensely uncomfortable and it made me seeth with anger. The girl that had stolen my everything away was acting like I loved her.
"So, when are we moving in together?"
Something seemed to snap within me at that moment. I was fed up with everything. Everything that Vanessa had put Sonny and I through in the past two years and still was. I couldn't take it anymore.
I yanked my arm away from her and turned to glare at her. To say she looked shell-shocked was an understatement. "Where is she?" When she didn't answer immediately I threw my hands up in the air to which she flinched. "Where is she?"
At my scream she narrowed her eyes and took a step back. "Why do you care about that little slut? She doesn't even love you. She's just a pathetic-"
I took a step closer to her until we were nose to nose. I was absolutely seething. "Don't you ever talk about Sonny like that! And yes she does love me. I know that for a fact."
I stepped back before continuing. "I know everything Vanessa! All of this was just part of your little plot to have me. Well you know what? You will never have me because every bit of my heart belongs to the beautiful girl named Sonny Munroe! Now, you will tell me where she is or I'll turn you in to the police and that won't really help with your modeling career will it? Which might I say, you definetily don't look the part."
I was vaguely aware of paparazzi across the street snapping pictures of us but I could care less. "Wisconsin!" she burst out before covering her mouth with her hands. "T-This isn't over! It'll never be over!"
I just rolled my eyes before flipping her the finger and running off.
I ran as fast as I could all the while thinking about how I would be re-united with Sonny in less than twenty-four hours. To say I got butterflies would be the biggest understatement of the year.
Once I burst into my house I ran up stairs while booking airplane tickets on my cell phone. Once that was finished I grabbed a bag and shoved some clothes in before slamming my bedroom door and barreling down the stairs.
Somewhere along the way Danielle had come bursting out of her room. "Chad? What the hell are you doing?"
I smiled as I swung the front door open and turned back for one second. "I'm going to Wisconsin to win Sonny back!"
And with that I bounded out of the house with Danielle running after me. As soon as I jumped into my car I revved the engine and tore out of my driveway. Once I was speeding down the freeway I let myself relax and a smile crept onto my face.
I laughed once before going faster. "I'm coming Sonny."
A/N: I just pounded out more than half of this chapter in less than an hour. Whoa. (Like really my fingers were moving so fast and frantically. LMFAO)
I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter because Chad finally got a clue and is off to save his princess! WOOO. And if you guys are confused this continues right after chapter 11, Torn, because that's when Chad's POV last was.
I don't have much else to say but I'm hoping to get at least two more chapters out until Deathly Hallows in 9 days! AHHH LDSKG SO EXCITED.
And if any of you guys are die hard Glee fans and ship Klaine to no end (like me) did you guys hear about the FREAKING KISS ONSTAGE ON SUNDAY? AHHH DSLKGJLFDH.
So, since I'm in a good mood because I'm listening to Darren Criss sing Granger Danger and I finished this chapter, I'm gonna go start the next one. Only 3 more left!
Please review! Lots of love xx
