Say hello to my favorite chapter!!!!! =]

It's been several weeks since "the incident" btw...enjoy!!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own SWAC


Sonny's POV:

Something was going on with Chad. He's been acting so strange since…the hospital. He's always near me, and when he's not, he's texting me. Not that I'm complaining, I actually kind of like the attention from him. It's a little strange though. He's never mean to me anymore, only nice and caring and really sweet. Although he still teases me often, but in a nice way. He makes me feel safe, and like nobody will ever hurt me…again.

I was walking to meet him at the "Mackenzie Falls" set. I texted him saying I was just leaving, and I was sorry that I was going to be a little late, but I knew he wouldn't mind. I couldn't decide what to wear, but decided on some skinny jeans, a purple/pink/red/orange/white tank top, and purple flats. [pictures on my profile] I was almost there when I saw him. Of course I'm in a deserted hallway. That's just to be expected, I thought sarcastically.

I wanted to turn and run as far away from here as possible, but my feet were frozen in place. My heart raced and I felt color remove itself from my face. Where was Chad when I needed him?!

"Hey baby. How's it going? Long time no see. How's your arm?" My blood ran cold as James walked towards me and caressed my face with his hand.

Chad's POV:

I wonder where Sonny is. She was supposed to come to my set and we were going to get something to eat. My phone vibrated and I was filled with relief.

"Sorry Chad! I just left, be there in 2. Sorry I'll be a little late." I didn't mind. She was coming, and that's all that mattered to me.

I was getting a drink from a bubbler [water fountain] and spilled a little water on my shirt. Aw shit I have to find a towel or something quick.

I went back to my dressing room and grabbed a towel to wipe myself off a bit. There were a few spots on my shirt, but Sonny would laugh. Just thinking about her laugh made me smile.

I walked out of my dressing room, and started to worry. I checked my phone to see the time. She should have been here 5 minutes ago. I was impatient and decided to go look for her at the "So Random!" set. I was walking down a deserted hallway and heard voices.

One of them was Sonny. I would recognize her voice anywhere. Relief again washed over me. A friend just held her up. See Chad, no need to worry anymore. As I walked closer to where her voice was coming from, I heard panic lace her words. Ok, now you can worry. I all but ran to her, only stopping when I turned the corner and almost ran into somebody.

"Whoops, sorry dude."

"No problem, just watch where you're going next time." The voice stopped me cold and a million emotions invaded. Anger, worry, hatred, panic, disgust…the list went on and on.

He was back. I stepped around him and saw her, fear written all over her face.

He made my Sonny scared. He was going to pay for it. When Sonny looked at me, a flood of happiness and relief showed on her gorgeous face. I could do nothing but smile. It was suddenly like we were the only two people on Earth.

I was ripped out of my fantasy as James turned and put his arm around Sonny's shoulders. I stared at it, confused and angry. "Oh. Chad. It was you. Well I've decided to forgive you both for your horrible behavior several weeks ago. I'll take care of Sonny now. Leave," he ordered in a nicely menacing voice. Did that even make sense?

I looked into Sonny's eyes, searching for answers. Her eyes told me that she was scared shitless and she wanted to get out of here. For a moment, I thought she was afraid of me and what I was thinking. But the emotion in her eyes changed to pleading.

She wanted me to save her from him. But what was I going to do? I couldn't exactly do anything with James standing so close to Sonny; I didn't want to hurt her. My eyes flicked back up to James' arm around her shoulders. I wanted to make it so he didn't have an arm.

As if he knew what I was thinking and wanted to make it worse, he lowered his arm. His hand now rested on her waist. "Chad Dylan Cooper, I believe I asked you to leave."

"No, you told me to leave. Not very good manners you know," I retorted cockily, crossing my arms in front of my chest. He turned Sonny around so she was in front and facing him. He lowered his hands again and squeezed her ass. Calm down Chad. For her. Sonny was the only thing keeping me from pinning him down and crushing every bone in his body with my fists.

Sonny put her hands gently on his chest. It stung, even though I knew it was to push him away. He took it the wrong way though. He looked over her head to smirk at me and bent his head down to kiss her. The repulsive green monster inside of me threatened to escape, but I was saved when Sonny managed to push James away from her. Before she could succeed though, James brought his hand back and slapped her across the face.

I grabbed Sonny by her waist and yanked her behind me and out of James' reach. Red fury blinded me. I struggled to keep my composure. Hearing Sonny crying behind me only made that harder to do. I scrambled for her hand, knowing it would calm both Sonny and I. She realized what I wanted and she grabbed my hand and held on tight.

"I think you'd better leave James. And if you don't, I'll call security and make sure you don't ever come within 20 feet of Sonny again," I threatened. The venom in my voice surprised me.

"Whatever. You can have that little whore. Just warning you, you're not going to get any from her. But who knows; maybe she learned her lesson from me."

Everything after that came in little blips.

Sonny screaming for me to stop.

Someone calling security.

Dark red liquid everywhere.

Me being pulled off of James.

A very strong guard restraining me.

And then I felt Sonny's hand on my cheek.

It was like an immediate relaxant. My breathing slowed, along with my heart rate. I looked into her melted chocolate eyes, which calmed me further. "I'm sorry Sonny," I whispered.

She leaned in and I forgot how to breathe. Her soft lips pressed gently against my cheek and I didn't know my own name. I closed my eyes. God that feels good. Too soon, she pulled away.

I let my head drop, and our foreheads rested on one another's. She wrapped her arms around me and held on tight. I wanted so badly to wrap my own arms around her, but seeing as they were being held behind me, I couldn't.

She nestled her head into the crook of my neck. She fits there perfectly. I rested my cheek against the top of her head after kissing her hair.

"Thank you Chad," she whispered softly. Hearing her speak my name made my heart beat irregularly. Say my name again, please. It took every muscle in my body not to take her face in my hands and kiss her.

She slowly pulled away from me. I wanted nothing more than to pull her back to me and hold her there forever. She kept one arm around me and stepped to my side. What I saw sickened me.

James lay on the floor, his face covered in blood. Did I do that? He deserved it though. I tried to reason with myself that this was right. In some instances, I really think it was. He shouldn't have said that about Sonny. But he seemed to be losing a lot of blood…will he be okay in the long-run? As much as I wanted him to suffer right now, I couldn't help but be a little concerned.

"He bleeds easy. He'll be fine," Sonny said, answering my unspoken worries. A medical team was already helping him, which made me feel a little better.

The security guard released me; seeming convinced that I had calmed down enough. Sonny took my hands in hers. She was shaking. I looked down at my hands and realized why.

Evidently in all my rage I forgot how to punch someone without hurting myself. My knuckles were a bloody mess.

I pulled my hands away from Sonny. Seeing the obvious hurt on her face made my heart ache. "You don't need to see that," I said, and it seemed to ease her pain.

"You need to get this cleaned up. Come with me." She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the unisex bathroom. She turned on the water and gently put my hands underneath the faucet.

"Ahh Sonny that hurts!!" I whined. She looked up at me and kissed my cheek again. I forgot where we were and what was happening. Any pain I had a moment ago was gone. Sonny giggled adorably and seemed pleased with herself. I was slightly disturbed at how weak I was with her, but the feeling vanished within seconds.

Once the worst of the blood was gone, she rubbed soap all over my hands. Okay, now this hurts! I whimpered softly, not wanting to let her know how weak I was. Unfortunately Sonny heard me and again she looked up at me. I was lost in the depth of her eyes. Time seemed to stop and before I knew it, she was rinsing my hands off again.

Now that the pain was gone, I reveled in the feeling of her warm soft hands caressing mine. Sonny turned the water off and dragged me to the paper towel station. She ripped out a handful and carefully dried my hands. When she was done she held my hands again. She stared into my eyes and brought my hand up to her lips. I swallowed loudly.

She kissed each knuckle gently, and then did the same to the other hand. I think I love her. No, I know I love her. I'm not going to fight it anymore. Chad Dylan Cooper is in love with Sonny Munroe.

Sonny's POV:

Why in the world would he do that? And why was he acting like a lovesick puppy? I was burning to ask these questions as I kissed his knuckles, but I didn't want to ruin this perfect moment. I could tell he was thinking hard about something. Then his face showed something of a resolve. I smiled at his expression, receiving that same lovesick smile in return. What is going on with him?

I couldn't hold it in anymore. "Chad, why did you do that?" I didn't specify what "that" was, but I knew he would understand.

"I don't like him. No, I absolutely hate him. He hurt you Son," he crooned as he cupped my face with his hand. I liked how it felt. Warm, soft, gentle. My heart melted at his words, and I felt tears in my eyes.

"Anybody that messes with you messes with me. Hey Sonny, don't cry. No, no, no please don't cry!"

He put one hand on my back, the other at the back of my head and pulled me into his chest. The tears I had been holding since I saw James finally spilled over, ruining Chad's shirt. I felt his lips press against my hair, which sent a shiver through me. Chad misinterpreted it and held me tighter against him, but I didn't mind.

I could stay here forever wrapped in his arms. I felt so safe and warm, like nobody could hurt me and get away with it. Do I like Chad? No way, that's not possible.

Is it?
