Been Here All Along: Goodbye
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With A Chance or Goodbye by Miley Cyrus.
I can honestly say, you've been on my mind since I woke up today.
I look at your photograph all the time.
Sonny opened her eyes. She was on a plane, unsure where she was going. She looked around, but didn't recognize anyone. Then she remembered she was going to Miami and Tawni was with her. When she looked next to her seat, Tawni wasn't there. Instead, a photograph of Chad and her was in the seat. The picture was taken on their first date, in a local Los Angeles park. She smiled as she remembered the evening, where she had her first kiss.
I remember when we kissed, I still feel it on my lips.
The time that you danced with me, with no music playing.
Chad had taken her to dinner at a beautifully quaint cafe across the street from the park. She ate a crepe for the first time while he laughed throughout his whole cup of gelato. They didn't talk much, but they didn't have to. They said it all with their eyes. Once they left, it started raining and he offered his jacket to her. They walked in the park, to Chad's constant protest, and Sonny began to hum a song. Chad grabbed her hand and they began dancing under the moonlight. Sonny looked into his deep blue eyes, and her lips quivered as the cold got to her. Chad chuckled and slowly moved in, until their lips met. What felt like an eternity, which was really only a few seconds, changed their relationship.
I remember the simple things, I remember 'til I cry.
But the one thing I wish I'd forget...the memory I wanna forget is goodbye.
Her memories flashed to the day in the same restaurant. He looked at her with rage in his eyes, like he hated her. He did hate her. He hated himself, he hated all of those memories. Yeah, she had fallen in love with someone else, but she remembered all the beautiful things they shared. She didn't hate him. She hated herself for being such a bitch. She cried that night, like never before. Even if she tried to stop the tears, they just kept coming.
Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up with your ringtone.
I hesitate but answer it anyway, you sound so alone.
She remembered the day she called him, once they reunited in New York. That was less than a week ago. She remembered hesitating before dialing his number, and she was glad she did call. That short conversation with him had changed everything. She found herself falling for his charm, and she knew the same was happening on his end. No one had offered the support he had after her incident - no one could. He broke down those walls she had built in her heart, the ones no one could.
The one thing I wish I'd forget is saying goodbye.
After that, the rest was a blur. Sonny didn't remember what happened in the airport, or where she had left Tawni. All Sonny knew was that she was here. Now. Standing in front of Chad and Sam. Well, their bodies. She hadn't made it on time. She saw the cuts and bruises, the blood rolling down Chad's cheek. She saw the knife mark on Chad's chest and the bullet penetrating Sam's heart. She saw the pained expression on Chad's face, and imagined his last words. She held his hand and started to cry. She cried more than the night they broke up, because this was worse. All she saw were her tears. She couldn't hear the sirens, or the voices yelling at her. She was in another world, where everything faded into black.
Goodbye.
Sonny opened her eyes. She was on the plane, which had just landed in Miami. Tawni was sitting next to her, texting someone, and it was still storming outside. Passengers were getting up, and unloading the plane.
Sonny still had a chance.
That's this chapter! Yes, everything was all a dream. But it was convincing. At least I hope. The song featured was Goodbye by Miley Cyrus, but I promise this won't end up being a song fic. It was just a little bonus, to get you nervous. Yes, I'm making you suffer. Actually, I'm stalling. I don't know what's next. Well, I know...you don't.

P.S: Next chapter involves something similar to what recently happened to a Hollywood couple that went through a similar odyssey.
