Title: Sonny with a chance of losing you

A/N: Bonjour! Boredom has taken me and I am now going to be rapidly updating… not like I have anything else to do. Thank you especially StayStrong112 for the reviews on every chapter… you do now realise how awesome you are. Well maybe you do but this ones for you!

Chapter 4- Day 4

That morning was different… they were compelled to the indoors. Rain lashed at the windows of Sonny's apartment but the rapidly spreading heat from the covers also made it compulsory for them to stay right where they were. Sonny woke first, the slow and steady noise of Chad's breathing lulling her into a somewhat trance. Her eyes closed and she slowly rose and fell with the quickening pace of his chest. She sighed, he awoke.

"Morning gorgeous." He yawned and pushed himself up, stretching his rested limbs. He smiled against her; the intoxicating smell of soap on her neck stunned him exactly as it had the day before when they were in the woods. He was in paradise, every aspect was just perfect and in some respects, he didn't want it to end. He could've lay next to her forever, his arm over her waist, his hand lingering on her bare shoulder. He just couldn't imagine spending that day any other way. She began to stir, shaking the covers off her and screaming. He was torn from his paradise. She'd fallen back asleep again and this time, it wasn't so pretty. She screamed louder, her nails digging deep into the pillows and beads of sweat forming on her face. Her eyes began to stream with tears. Chad froze. What did he do? What could he do? He shook her gently, softly bringing her back into her sanity. Her eyes bolted open, the last remaining tears spying their chance and running down her cheek. "Sonny! What…are…are you okay?" His broken words slurred and tumbled from his mouth, each one falling over the other. Without a second thought, he pulled her closer.

"It was horrible Chad, I had a nightmare and… and you left me." She broke into fits of sobbing. Partially because the image was so vividly clear in her mind but also because she knew it was the inevitable truth. She had ten days left to change his mind and in some aspects, she did want it to be true because it was that thought that made the fortnight together so special.

"It's okay baby, I'm not going anywhere." Chad smile and pushed his lips to hers and placed a hand on her hair, pushing her closer and closer until the air space between them was so limited it pulled them apart. She gasped for any fragments of air there was to spare, her eyes still shut and her mouth still open until Chad closed the gap again. She pulled away, noticing the look in his eyes convey his confusion.

"Chad… I can't keep on like this just pretending you're not going, it's just stupid!" Chad chewed on his lip, thoughts spiralling in his head. It was as though a giant knife had been pushed into him, like tiny pinpricks on the surface of his heart that he only felt the second she turned away.

"Sonny just… just don't." He mumbled and stepped out of bed and out of the room. The instant pain of her words rewinding in his head kicked in. He sighed and pushed down the toaster before returning to their room to try and sort it out. "Look, I don't wanna go but my mom is in Rhode Island, my job is in Rhode Island… my entire life excluding you is in Rhode Island. I can't just leave it all behind. You know as much as I do that I'd love to stay here with you but I can't." Sonny nodded and slid out of bed, the long t-shirt falling and resting on her thigh.

"I know, Chad, believe me I do but I can't sit here and watch you walk away." Chad wrapped his arms around her waist, his chest pressing against hers, his head pressing against hers. The shaky, mint scented breaths that he took displayed his emotion.

"Then come with me." The familiar silence seeped into the room, Sonny staring at him with huge russet eyes. Sonny shook her head. She couldn't leave her mom on her own. She couldn't just abandon her show, or Nico, or Grady. And as much as she hated to admit it, she couldn't leave Tawni either. She had been the sister figure that Sonny hated to love but did. She'd already moved once and she couldn't move again.

"I can't. I want to but I can't. It's not just you I have to think about. It's my mom and my show and all the cast members… they're like my family." Chad dropped his gaze to rest on the floor. I'm lucky to still have a job. I asked for two weeks off to spend with you. They could've fired me then and there." He nodded and kissed her cheek. His fingers linked behind her back and pushed her closer to him. She rested her head on his chest and sighed. He almost mentioned that he wasn't sure weather he was leaving or not but it just wasn't the right time and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

They spent the entire day inside watching films and cuddling on the sofa. Chad had something special planned for her though.

*That Night*

"Why do I have to get dressed up?" Sonny giggled as she slid another hair pin into her hair. She'd curled it and clipped each individual bit up. It had taken her well over an hour. Chad slowly rubbed her shoulders and pulled her back to lean on him. She stared into the mirror in front of her, smiling and happy; the way they should be.

"It's a surprise! Now go get changed and be ready in half an hour okay?" She nodded and they went their separate ways. Chad had bought the exact same outfit he'd worn on their fist day, just a size bigger. He'd grown in the past three years. Sonny looked absolutely stunning when she arrived in the doorway. She had chosen a strapless green dress that landed just above her knee. Her eyes scanned him until she settled on his face. "I'm the luckiest man alive." He grinned and pulled her close to him. Her breath was caught somewhere and the shaky vapour that did escape made her shiver.

"You don't look to bad yourself." She smiled. The drive was taken listening to the radio. Sonny gazed at the stars out of the window and smiled. When they arrived, he took her hand and dragged her inside. It was amazing. A stained glass chandelier hung from the ceiling and red satin drapes slicked across the windows. It was as though she'd stepped into Romeo and Juliette's story.

"Come on, here's our table." She smiled and sat down, spiralling a lost curl around her finger. "Sonny, listen, this is a really special night for me and I want you to know that I will never ever hurt you." He took her hands in his and squeezed them gently. She fluttered her eyelashes, a sort of wetness becoming evident in the auburn tinges. "I promise you, I will stay by you for as long as we live." His voice broke on the last word, a lump if unsaid emotion forming in his throat. He pulled a box from his pocket, shaking from nerved and held it out to her. "Say yes."

A/N: Ooooooooh, drama! Enjoy and thanks so much for the reviews! Means a loooooooooooot.
