Loving's Hard to Do

By Sophomore Me

Summary: "After you left, she gave me this lecture about how I was too young to be in love and that you would probably hurt me." Sonny laughed. "Too bad it's them hurting me."

It's been a year
Filled with problems
But now you're here
Almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you now

Chad Dylan Cooper walked over to the set of So Random!, nervously pulling at his red tie. Him and Sonny had just gotten back from their week long escape and he was dreading his first visit to her set. There were million of reasons why he hated to come to the set of So Random!. One reason being the fact that everyone seemed to hate him. There were two girls who actually cared about him: his girlfriend, Sonny, and Tawni, the girl who was becoming somewhat of the best friend to the happy couple. She made sure that Sonny and Chad got alone time and no one belittled their relationship…in front of them.

Chad sighed in relief as he reached Sonny and Tawni's room with no other run-ins with the rest of the cast. It seemed like today was going to be a great day after all.

All my life
I've been searching for you
How did I survive
In this world before you
Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now

"Mr. Cooper!" Chad cringed. He had been spotted. He looked up and saw Marshall walking towards him. Marshall was the one person who really hadn't voiced his opinion on Sonny and Chad's relationship.

"Oh, hey Marshall, what's up?"

"Oh, I just wanted to know how your little vacation went. You two really deserved it, especially after how my cast has been treating you. And then to find out that you can't even take Sonny over to your set because of your cast and producer is horrible. Well I just wanted to let you know that you are always welcomed here, and I'll try to talk to the cast about what they've been saying." Marshall said politely.

"Thanks so much, Marshall. And Sonny and I had a nice time on our trip, Sonny has pics if you're interested." Chad replied letting out a sigh.

"Maybe some other time, have a nice day."

"You too." Chad said before walking into his girlfriend's dressing room. When he entered, his eyes locked onto a dancing Sonny with headphones in her ears.

"Let's have some fun, this beat is sick. I want to take a ride on your disco stick—" Sonny sang as Chad crept up behind her. He grabbed her around her waist and pulled her close to his chest. Sonny gasped and removed her headphones to turn to smack Chad's chest.

"Well, hello to you too." Chad said smugly.

Sonny grinned, "You gave me a heart attack." She pulled his hand to her chest were her heart was beating faster than normal. "See?"

"Yeah, but doesn't that always happen when I'm around?" Chad replied teasingly.

"I'm not going to inflate your already to big ego," Sonny said kissing his cheek.


This is the best thing
the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
the best thing is that it's
happening to you and me


"I love you, Sonny." Chad said seriously, pulling her close to his chest.

"I love you, too, Chad." The two kissed sweetly before being interrupted by Tawni.

"Gosh you guys, you just got back from your honeymoon, can't you lay off the kissing for like a day?"

"Tawni, it wasn't a honeymoon, it was vacation to get away from all the stress."

"Sonny, tell your boyfriend here that it was a honeymoon." Tawni said pointing at Chad.

"Sonny, tell your best friend that it was not a honeymoon." Chad replied in a childish tone, while pointing at Tawni.

"You two are five feet away from each other, you can say it yourselves." Sonny said, stepping out of the line of fire.

She loved Chad and Tawni, because even though they pretend to hate each other, she knew it was a brotherly/sisterly "hate".

The bickering friends laughed and began to talk animatedly to each other about their day so far and what their plans were.

"Hey, so you know how we were concerned about Marshall's lack of opinion on our relationship?" Sonny nodded. "Well, worry no more, I talked to him before I came in here earlier and he told me that I was welcomed on the set of So Random! anytime I wanted."

"Sweet," Sonny said, grinning. She was really concerned Marshall was against her relationship as much as the cast was. Sonny leaned over and innocently kissed Chad, which slowly turned into a not-so-innocent kiss.

"And as much as I love seeing the two of you sucking face, I think I'm going to go get some fro- yo." Tawni stood up and left the room.


All I'm gonna have
Is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back
Everything I have in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right
As this does right now

When the need to breathe became apparent, the lovely, young couple pulled apart and stared lovingly into each other's eyes.

"I love you, Sonny Munroe, and I wish I could take all the pain and stress you've been feeling the past couple months away." Sonny smiled. Chad kissed her nose, causing her to giggle and scrunch her nose up. "You're so adorable, you that?"

"You may have told me once or twice—but it never hurts to be reminded. And for the record, I love you, Chad Dylan Cooper."

The couple leaned into kiss again.

"You two make me sick."

Sonny jumped, not expecting to hear another voice and turned to look around the room. Finally, Sonny realized it was Zora, from the vent.

"What do you want, Zora?" Sonny asked hesitantly. She didn't feel like being told her relationship was a fraud.

"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to see if Chad gained a conscience, but I see that he hasn't, 'cause you two are still together." Zora shut the vent door, before Chad could angrily reply.

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past
Try harder to forget cause
Nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Sonny sighed, before standing up. She grabbed one of Chad's sweatshirts off the couch and slipped it on, hugging herself.

Chad moved towards her and said, "I'm right here, baby." He knew she only hugged his sweatshirts around herself when he wasn't there to comfort her.

"I know." Chad pulled her over to the couch and sat down before bringing her onto his lap.

"What's wrong?" Chad asked, rubbing comforting circles on her back.

"I don't know, I guess I be used to it by now. I mean it is kind of an everyday occurrence." Sonny mumbled into his chest.

"Sonny, you shouldn't have to be used to it. They are supposed to be like your 'mini family' and they can't support a decision that has made you extremely happy, and trust me, I don't know
about families, because mine is never around…but I don't think that's how families act towards each other." Chad said, pulling Sonny back and looking her in the eyes.

Sonny nodded, before snuggling into Chad's chest. The next few moments were spent in silence until Sonny's grip on Chad's shirt slackened and Chad realized that she had fallen asleep. He gently laid her down on the bed before heading to the cafeteria in search of his girlfriend's cast mates. He finally spotted them sitting at a table laughing.

"Chad alert." Zora said, not trying to be quiet.

"What do you want, Cooper?" Nico asked.

"I want you to lay off Sonny." Chad said, angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"You can hate me all you want, but I wish you would open up your eyes and see how upset you're making her. She just wants your approval, and you can't even give her that. I love Sonny; she's the best thing that's ever happened to me." Chad paused, catching his breath. "You don't have to like me, but if you could at least pretend to like me, then it would keep Sonny from feeling a hell of a lot of unneeded pain she's been feeling. Just think about it." He said, before walking away, leaving the table speechless.

Always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for (and ever wished)
And I'm tryin'
So hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life
As good as you've made mineThis is the best thing (the best thing)
The best thing that could be happening (the best thing)
And I think you would agree (whooaaa)
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

So I think I'm just going to make it a story…and each chapter based off a song. What do you think?
