Chad ran a hand through his short hair as he made his way to the so called cafeteria. It was actually just a huge tent with benches, long tables and a kitchen corner. The food wasn't that bad actually. Chad accepted the food given to him with a small smile and made his way to a vacant table.

He finally found one at the other end of the tent and sat down. He quickly looked over the cafeteria, where soldiers like him were goofing off and laughing. No one was even looking at him.

Chad felt relieved and started eating his food.

The first month in the army had been rough. People saw him as a famous person who thought he was better that everyone else. Well.. that was what Chad had thought at the start. But after a month of pure torture towards him, he started losing the CDC act, and soon he actually started fitting in. Making friends was still hard for him, but he didn't complain. He didn't have a lot of real friends in LA, so he didn't expect anything new here.

Suddenly another plate appeared on the table and Chad looked up. '' dude.. fresh meat is here. '' Nathan , the only guy Chad got along very well, smirked and sat down. Chad smiled weakly and looked at where Nathan was pointing. New guys were always fun. They were still not affected by the war and with them arriving, Chad usually felt better. He saw a group of guys, the same age as him and shrugged, turning back to face his friend. Nathan 's grey eyes were studying Chad seriously. Chad tilted his head as he took another bite of his food '' what now? '' he groaned and looked at Nathan .

Nathan shrugged and fixed his very short brown hair, that were no where near a haircut '' you seem off. Fresh meat usually cheers you up. '' he stated. Chad flashed him a smile '' sorry. Just thinking about everything.. the first month here. The future. I had to tell Sonny that I can't talk to her... '' Chad shrugged.

Nathan finally started eating his food and chuckled lightly '' the first month.. damn it was funny.. you remember when we- '' he stopped as Chad sent him a death glare. Nathan quickly decided to change the subject. '' Sonny huh? So how's it going between the two of you? ''

He watched as Chad's face changed from depressed to a normal teenager boy with a crush. Chad shot him a weak smile '' I told her. I finally told her. ''

Nathan grinned big '' dude. That's great. But why can't you talk to her? ''

Chad rolled his eyes and looked at the guy he was starting to call his best friend '' dude.. I complained about it to you for about an hour. Weren't you listening to me? '' he fake gasped dramatically, before smiling big. Nathan chuckled '' dude.. I never listen to you.. you're all Sonny is so cute bla bla, and Sonny is not cute bla bla.. '' he mocked Chad and smirked big. Chad rolled his eyes again but kept talking '' the new captain.. doesn't like me getting special treatment. He's banning my skype privileges.. '' Chad said shrugging..

Nathan bit his lip '' dude.. you're just like one of us now. Congrats.. '' he patted Chad on the hand and smirked. Chad chuckled and shook his head.

'' Chip? '' a voice said from behind Chad.

Chad slowly turned his head, recognizing the familiar voice almost immediately. He felt his eyes widen as a mask of shock ran over his face '' Nico? Grady? ''

Sonny handed the cab driver money and smiled at him as he helped with her suitcases. She turned around to face the huge farm house she had lived most of her life. The house looked almost magical as the few sun rays shone upon it. The house had 3 stories high, with a huge porch. The paint of the house had started to fade a bit and Sonny noticed a broken step at the stairs that led to the porch. Sonny looked to her right and noticed the sun rising. She bit her lip, wondering if the sun was rising wherever Chad was now. Ever since she had gotten the last letter, everything she did made her think of him. When she drank her morning coffee she thought if Chad even drank coffee. Then she got frustrated because she didn't know it.

She snapped out of her daze as she heard the door open. Her head snapped back towards the house and she smiled big. The silhouette at the doorway stepped further onto the porch and as the light hit the person, Sonny dropped her bags and ran up the stairs, right into the awaiting arms. She felt herself being lifted off the ground and she giggled softly '' Hi.. '' she grinned once her feet touched the ground again. She quickly examined the kind dark brown eyes and the dirty blonde hair. His thin lips curled into a smile as he grinned back at her '' hey. Missed you.. ''

Sonny bit her lip as she glanced back to the rising sun '' what are you doing here? It's so early.. ''

He shrugged and flashed her a smile that brought back all the memories. The smile that used to make her knees go weak and the smile that she hated herself for leaving behind once she moved to Hollywood. He grabbed Sonny's suitcases from the ground and motioned for her to go inside '' don't worry. No one's awake yet.. i'm only here because I slept here last night. We got a bit carried away with wine. '' he grinned and explained as Sonny stepped into the house. It seemed just like before. The smell of home cooking, cinnamon and vanilla. The walls covered with various pictures of all the family members. The only sounds were the ticking of the old wall clock and the steps of Sonny and him. Sonny turned around, smiling weakly '' coffee? ''

He left her suitcases by the staircase and grinned '' of course. Come on.. '' he placed a hand on her back and started leading the way to the kitchen as if she didn't remember the way anymore.

10 minutes later Sonny was holding a hot cup of coffee and sitting on the couch that was in the kitchen. He was sitting besides her just staring at her. It felt like old times.. yet. This time it was so different. They weren't the same people they used to be. At least she wasn't the same person anymore. Him.. she wasn't so sure. Sonny stared back at him in wonder. Did he keep his promise? Did he wait for her? Or did he move on to another girl?

As if reading her mind he started talking '' you know I always keep my promises.. ''

Sonny froze a bit at those words. Whenever she had imagined this moment. Of their reunion, she had always imagined herself being glad to hear those words. But now, when the moment was finally real, she found herself quite the opposite. She put the cup on the table and stared at him. His smile faded as he noticed the tears in her eyes. In one one swift move, Sonny was back in his arms, sobbing quietly. He rocked her and rubbed her back. He had made another promise a long time ago. He had promised to always be there for her. And as he had already said, he always kept his promises..

I feel evil..
