Chapter 36 – Goodbyes

Victoria (Chad's mum) POV:

I knocked softly on Sonny's door, but there was no reply, so I gently opened the door and snuck inside. The sight that greeted me made my heart warm and I left again to get the camera. When I returned they hadn't moved an inch and I snapped a picture. This was one to show the grandchildren.

I padded over to Sonny's side of the bed and gently brushed her hair. She stirred beneath my fingers. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Mum?" She asked, sleepily. I chuckled softly.

"If you want." I replied. Her eyes opened wide as she realised who I was and then she smiled. She glanced at Chad and blushed, glancing at me for any sign of anger. "You two are so cute." I told her.

She smiled and carefully extracted herself from Chad's hold. I handed her the clothes she had left aside for her to wear and she thanked me before heading off to the bathroom.

"Chad?" I called to my darling little boy. He had grown up so much. And now he'd met Sonny, there was nothing I could wish for in him. He had turned out perfectly.

CPOV:

Crap. I kept my eyes tightly shut, trying to decide if I had actually gone to Sonny's room or if I had dreamt that. If my mum saw me in Sonny's bed she'd only assume the worst.

I inconspicuously felt around me; no one there. So I believed last night had been a dream.

I opened my eyes.

Crap.

I shut them again quickly. I was in Sonny's room!

I felt my chest; still fully clothed. Good.

"Hi mum!" I said cheerily. She looked at me, smiled and then winked. She pointed to a pile of clothes at the bottom of the bed and left before I had got over the shock. She winked at me! Did she approve then?

I got up quickly, taking the clothes across the hall so I could wash and change.

When I got downstairs everyone was there, eating in silence. Sonny was not so much eating, as just pushing her cereal around her bowl.

I sat next to her. I kissed her cheek and took her hand. These were my last moments with her before she left so I was going t enjoy them, regardless of whether my parents were in the room.

Too soon we were driving to the airport.

We got out and I took two of Sonny's suitcases for her and my dad took her other two. Girls and their clothes. She just took her carry-on bag.

When we reached the gates my parents and sister hugged Sonny and left to give us some space.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye then." I said, my heart breaking with the words.

"Yeah, goodbye." She reached for me and I took her in my arms, hugging her close and then I kissed her softly.

"It's only six months." I said, as I wiped a tear from her cheek. The rain was pouring down outside, mirroring our mood.

"I'll miss you." She whispered, taking just my hand in hers.

"I'll miss you, too." I replied, squeezing her hand and then letting it fall slowly from my grip. It was as if the whole world was going in slow motion. I watched her head through the gates and wiped at the tears that splattered my cheek.

She turned and waved sadly and I raised my hand, kissing it and blowing it. She smiled through her tears. I knew that cameras were flashing at us, I knew this would make the news, but I couldn't care less. I shouted to her, just before she disappeared,

"I love you!"

Aww. :'( Sorry it's a short chapter, but I didn't think I could take anymore without crying! :( It doesn't help I was listening to sad songs to get me in the mood for this chapter. Tell me if you hated this or if it made you guys cry! Review. I'm going to post the next cha[ter very soon, people, so don't worry! xx
