Disclaimer: No, I don't own SWAC... if I did, Sonny and Chad would have kissed a long time ago. :D

Ok, so... not alot of reviews last chapter... not sure why, but maybe it was the whole 'fanfiction crash' thing that happened a few days ago. :P

Anyways, this chapter does get really steamy towards the end... but they don't have sex, so don't yell at me for stretching a T! :D I'm starting the M rated oneshot, I just don't really know what chapter I'm going to base it off of. :D

Review please!

-.-.-.

Sonny looked up from her book as Chad stormed into the living room, his eyebrows were furrowed in anger, and his hands were in fists at his side.

She watched as he threw himself into a chair and buried his hands in his blond hair. She bit her lip and stood up quietly before walking over to his side.

"Chad?"

His head snapped up, and his eyes widened. "Sonny…"

Something about his blue eyes was off, and she could read the sadness in them. Her heart started beating rapidly. "What's wrong?" She looped her hand around his arm, and put her head on his shoulder.

Chad's blue eyes turned to look down at Sonny, and he let out a sad sigh. "My… my parents… they saw the photos." Her cheeks flamed at the mention of the photos, and her hand instinctively clutched his arm a little tighter "They, u-um…" Chad's voice cracked as he tried to keep his composure.

Sonny looked up at him in shock when she heard the tone of his voice, and she was even more surprised to see that his eyes were watering up.

"Oh, Chad!" She whispered and un-tucked her hand from his arm to envelop him in a hug. Her own eyes started to tear up as she held him against her body, his arms held her even closer as small tears started to escape his eyes.

"I… I just always wanted… to make them proud." He whispered against her shoulder.

She nodded slowly, and started to rub her hand up and down his back slowly. "You don't have to talk, Chad. I'm here for you."

Her heart ached as she felt him shake against her, his tears were flowing faster now, and she felt a few tears escape her own eyes as she watched him cry. Chad barely said a word as Sonny comforted him, the only whisper that escaped his lips being, "I love you Sonny."

-.-.-.

Chad woke up on the couch, his head was resting on Sonny's shoulder, and their arms were around each other's waists.

He looked down at her peaceful expression and frowned. Sonny was the perfect girlfriend to him, and he felt that he was bringing her down.

His hand reached up to trace her jawbone, and her eyes fluttered open instantly. "Oh! I'm sorry."

She gave him a grin, "Chad, you don't have to apologize. I was barely sleeping anyway."

"I'm sorry for-"

"Chad!" She gave him a stern look, "You don't have to apologize. When are you going to grasp the fact that you're just as human as everyone else? I want to help you when you're sad, Chad, you help me through tough times too."

He looked down at her waist, where his hand was, and mumbled, "But you're better than I could ever be in this relationship."

"Chad Dylan Cooper, I can't stand it when you go all 'Edward Cullen' on me." He gave her an eye roll, "I'm serious! We're both going to go through tough times, and there will be times when you're going to need me to help you Chad. You can't just be superman all the time."

"I just… I've never really been in love before. I don't know if I'm doing anything right." He dropped his head again, and she brought her hand up to tilt his head back up to meet her gaze.

"You're doing fine, Chad. I've never been in love before either, remember?"

"So how do you know I'm doing fine?" He frowned, "What if… What if you find another guy that you love more than me? I can't loose you, Sonny."

Her eyes widened, "Chad, I'm not going to leave you just because we make a few mistakes. There's no one else in the world I'd rather be with than you."

"Even though I'm too afraid to tell you about my parents?" His jaw clenched at the words 'afraid,' and 'parents.'

"Chad, you're not afraid-"

"Then I can tell you."

She shook her head, "You don't have to. We can keep a few secrets from one another."

"But this isn't a secret." Chad gave her a frown, "its facts."

Sonny let out a sigh and shrugged her shoulders, "If you want to tell me, I'm not going to stop you."

He nodded and bit his lip. She watched as he thought about something for a second, then turned back to look in her eyes.

"It all started when I was six." His eyes turned dark with sorrow, and Sonny put her hand on his arm comfortingly. "I just got my first acting job. My parents were so proud of me, they sold our house in New Hampshire, and we moved to L.A."

"I was playing a little kid on a TV show, and my parents were ecstatic. My dream was coming true." He let out a small chuckle, "But the more time I spent on set, the less time I spent with my parents. Of course, since I was little, all my pay checks went to my parents… and they started using it to buy stuff they didn't need."

"When I was ten, they started their vacation trend. At first, I went with them, but when our relationship started to grow farther apart, they started going alone. I spent every holiday, weekend, and most other days of the year at home with a housemaid. My parents saw me less and less, and when they did see me… it just wasn't the same between us."

"I turned 13, and when they were actually home one day, I asked them when I was going to start getting my own paychecks, and when they were going to stop using my money. My father got really mad at me, and insisted that I didn't need a paycheck - and I should be happy that he and my mom pushed me to become an actor."

"I wasn't really interested in the money, I just wanted my parents back." His eyes dropped, "When I told my mom this, she wouldn't talk to me at all. She thought I was insulting her, and it hurt me even more that my mom wasn't there to help me. They didn't care what I did with my life anymore, all they wanted was the money."

He smiled for a second, "I got the most amazing part of my life, staring along side Zac Efron in '17 Again.' I called my parents to tell them the good news, and they asked me how much income I would get from doing the movie. It was the first time I realized that my parents didn't care about me anymore."

"Zac was like, the big brother I never had. I told him everything, even about my parents. After the movie was over, he blurted about my ruined relationship with my parents to a magazine, and my parents flew home from France just to yell at me. They were ashamed that I would spread something like that, even if it was true. They didn't want bad publicity, and so they made me take them to an event just so we could act like a happy family together."

"That made it worse." His voice cracked, "For them to pretend that they loved me again, then for them to jet off to Australia the next moment… It really hurt. I got the part of Mackenzie on Mackenzie Falls, and I became friends with Portlyn. She didn't see her parents that much either, but they still loved her in ways that my parents forgot. I could only trust Portlyn with that side of me, and I set up a wall against anyone else who tried to help."

He turned to look at her, "Years later, you came along and somehow broke down the wall. I forgot what it felt like for someone to care about me, or for me to care about someone. You brought back the little kid in me that just wanted to be loved."

Sonny's smile got bigger, and her eyes watered up with tears. "I need you now, Sonny. I need you more than anything else in my life, and if I loose you, I know that I'll never be able to love again. My parents broke my heart, but you're the glue that put it back together."

She let a tear fall out of her eye and onto her cheek, "Chad…"

He pulled her closer to his body, and she snuggled closer into his chest.

"I… I see why you think you're not a good enough boyfriend, Chad." Sonny whispered as they pulled away, "But I love you, and you're perfect for me. Don't let your parents ruin our relationship."

He nodded slowly, "That's… uh, why they called."

"When did they call?"

"This morning." He clenched his jaw, "They saw the pictures, and demanded to know why I would put myself out in the media like that. They want me to break up with you, but I told them that you were the only one who will be able to love me, and that I didn't need them in my lives anymore."

"Chad." Her heart ached as she leaned forward to kiss his cheeks, "We can skip the whole let's-introduce-Sonny-to-my-parents thing."

He let out a relieved sigh, "Good."

"Good." She giggled, "And it really makes me happy that you shared that with me Chad."

"It felt good to tell someone." He grinned and leaned forward to connect their lips in a soft kiss. When they pulled away, he gave her a small smile, "I love you Sonny Monroe."

"And I love you Chad Dylan Cooper."

-.-.-.

After they finished eating lunch, they went back to the couch to watch a movie. Chad didn't focus on the movie at all and when she gave him annoyed glares, he just chuckled.

"Chad!" She exclaimed when he started tickling her sides.

"Yes?" He leaned forward and gave her a small kiss. Sonny turned around so they were lying down facing each other, and she frowned when he didn't move to kiss her.

He chuckled and leaned forward to connect their lips again.

She kissed him back as his arms pulled her closer, and she let out a sigh as his hands traveled up and down her waist. His lips smirked against her own and he let his right hand slip under her T-shirt to brush across her flat stomach.

The small moan from Sonny made his heart jump, and he traced patterns on her stomach with more confidence.

She pulled away, "Chad."

"What?" He gave her an innocent smile.

"Don't tease me like that." Her cheeks turned bright pink.

He gave her a small smirk, "Like what?" His hands slipped back under her shirt to rub circles on her stomach.

"Oh." Her eyes closed briefly as she let out the small moan, then she opened her eyes to frown at him, "Chad Dylan-"

"Yes?" He asked, continuing to touch her stomach, his eyes watched her face as she tried to steady her breathing.

"Why are… what are…"

Chad smirked, "Is something the matter, Monroe?"

She bit her lip to stifle another moan as his hand started moving upwards. He stopped rubbing circles and let his fingers spread out across her body, across her ribcage.

Her throat was suddenly dry, and she gulped before whispering, "Chad… I told you to s-stop that."

His blue eyes sparkled mischievously as he felt her breathing accelerate under his hand. "I don't know what you're talking about, Sonny." His hand crept up slowly, her heart started beating erratically as she felt his thumb meet the bottom band of her bra.

"C-Chad…" Her voice was so quiet she didn't know if he actually heard her. His hand wandered over to the left side of her bra, and she let out a small gasp as he started moving his hand up again.

Chad bit his lip as his hand moved enough to cover her breast, and she let out a small whimper at the touch.

"Chad… please…" Her voice became pleading, and her eyes started to close.

He grinned, "That's not very specific, Sonny."

She gasped as he put more pressure on her chest, and she glared at him, "Damn it Cooper! Stop teasing me!" He raised an eyebrow at her language, and she let out a frustrated sigh, "Will you just touch me, already?!"

Chad chuckled and leaned forward to connect their lips in a passionate kiss, his hand became more confident as it pressed down more fully on Sonny, and she arched her back in response.

He slipped his tongue into her mouth as his left hand rose to grab the hem of her T-shirt. While his right hand still moved against Sonny's chest, he used his left to lift her shirt off of her body. They broke the kiss to lift the shirt over Sonny's head, and she brought one of her hands to his own shirt once hers was thrown somewhere in the room.

"Oh, Chad Dylan." She whispered as his lips left hers to start kissing her neck and shoulders. Her insecurities of Chad seeing her with just a bra on vanished from her mind as he continued to trail kisses all over her neck. The buttons on his shirt couldn't unbutton fast enough as Sonny fumbled with taking his shirt off.

Once it finally opened completely, she slipped it off his shoulders, and pulled his body on top of her own. Chad let out a loud groan at the feeling of his body on hers, and he brought his left hand up to cup her left breast.

Sonny let out another moan, and she arched into his hands, wanting to feel even more. Just as her hands started trailing down to his abs, her cell phone started ringing.

He pulled away to let her answer, but she shook her head, "Let it ring."

Chad gave her a look as her phone continued to Moo. "Sonny, the phone already dampened the mood. You can answer it."

She let out an annoyed sigh and pressed the phone to her ear, "Hello?!"

"Sonny, don't use that voice on me!" Tawni exclaimed, then let out a laugh, "Was I interrupting something?"

"What?" Sonny grinned, "Psh, no."

Tawni didn't believe her at all. "You're with him right now, and I can definitely tell you're gasping for air." She frowned, "When did I ever start caring so much?!"

"When I showed up on So Random." Sonny giggled as Chad brought his hand up to twirl a curl of her hair around his finger.

"So… not that I really want to know, but since I'm in the whole 'caring phase' at the moment-" Tawni rolled her eyes, "-what are you doing?"

Sonny giggled as her cheeks turned pink, "Ah, nothing."

"Mhm." Tawni laughed, "You guys were probably making out in your private hotel suite."

Sonny let out a nervous chuckle, "How is life in Hollywood?"

"Got'cha!" She giggled, but hesitated before exclaiming, "Good."

"Who's the boy, and how long have you known him?" Sonny grinned.

"Oh god, he's the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. He's handsome and kind, funny and sweet." Tawni sighed happily, "And he has a six-pack I would kill to get my hands on."

Sonny let out a hysterical laugh, "And here you are, making fun of me for making out with my boyfriend. Yet you're aloud to talk about guys with great abs?"

"Ew, why is Tawni talking about me like that?!" Chad exclaimed as his hands went back to her stomach, slowly rubbing circles against her skin.

Tawni ignored Chad and continued, "He's drop dead gorgeous!"

"And who is this amazing - godlike abs- man you're speaking of?"

"David Henrie of course!" Tawni exclaimed.

Sonny's jaw dropped and she let out a squeal, "You know David!?!"

"Mhm." Tawni nodded, "I'm acquainted with his lips as well."

Chad grabbed the phone from Sonny and exclaimed, "She'll talk to you later." before hanging up the phone.

"Hey that was my-"

"We don't need you getting ideas from this 'David-godlike-abs' guy." Chad gave her a smirk, "I'm sure I have better abs now then he ever will."

Sonny giggled and brought her pointer finger down to his abs to trace them, and smirked as he bit his lip. A small sigh came out of his lips as she continued to trace his muscles.

"Sonny Monroe." He teased as she let out a small giggle.

"Yes?" Her innocent voice was betrayed by the mischief in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"You know full well what you're doing." He grinned and stood up before picking her up in his arms, "Let's go to the pool, we haven't gone there yet."

She gave him a confused look, "But what about-"

"What about what?" He grinned as she blushed, "You're too embarrassed to say it."

Sonny frowned, "I am not!"

"Then why don't you tell me?"

Ugh, I want you to touch me again, Chad! God he is such a tease!

"We were just… ah…" Her cheeks got darker, "Let's just go to the pool."

Chad gave her a quick peck on the lips as he grabbed his swimsuit on his way to the bathroom.

Sonny let out a frustrated sigh as she watched him walk away, and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked over at her suitcase and her lips slowly formed a smirk.

Let's see if Chad can resist me now.

She picked up the dark green bikini and waited for him to leave the bathroom.

.-.-.-.

Let me know what you think -- review! :D
