2. Get Back
Chad Dylan Cooper was elated and nervous at the same time. Why? Sonny had given him one hour, and he needed five of the sixty minutes just to drive from the studio to her apartment. Fifty-five minutes for him to win his Sonshine back.
"Think, Chad, think! You have less than one hour! How are you going to get her back?" Chad shouted at his reflection in his dressing room mirror in frustration. "What does Sonny love? Cheese…comedy…music….MUSIC! That's it! I'll write a funny song about cheese and perform it for her and—wait, I can't write a good song in five minutes. I guess I'll just bring my acoustic guitar and improvise at her apartment," Chad decided, "and I'll pick up a cheese basket from the cafeteria! Yeah-hah, CDC is back!"
Grabbing his jacket and six-string, Chad whipped his dressing room door open. Then his phone rang; Chad smiled when he saw Sonny's face pop up on the screen. "CDC," Chad answered.
"—and I don't know if I even want him to come over. Part of me wants...wants to get back together, but part of me never wants to forgive him. He hurt me. Mom, I don't know what to do. Tell me how to fix this!" Chad faintly heard Sonny say.
Chad ended the call, disappointedly realizing that Sonny had accidentally butt-dialed him. But then Chad grinned at her words, knowing that if even just a fraction of Sonny's heart belonged to him, he had a much better chance of winning her back.
Chad picked up a cheese basket—which was actually called "the Sonny"—from the cafeteria and hopped into his convertible. Flipping on Radio Disney (yes, Chad Dylan Cooper, Hollywood's bad boy listens to Radio Disney), he instantly recognized the song as one he had learned on guitar a few years back. Chad grinned, knowing exactly how he would get his Short Stack back.
Chad parked his car and ran (like a girl) to the door, guitar on his back and cheese basket in hand. He had a plan, but he needed time on his side, and he wanted to see Sonny [A/N: I accidentally typed Demi instead of Sonny there :]]as soon as possible. Nodding to the door man, Chad entered the elevator, but immediately exited when he realized the stairs would be faster.
Upon reaching Sonny's floor, Chad walked to the door, attempting to catch his breath. He was about to knock when he heard voices inside-and more than voices. Sobbing.
Chad, being the caring ex-boyfriend he is, flipped. "Sonny? Sonny, are you there? SONNY! Open the door! Are you alright? Sonny!" Chad screamed, pounding on the door with all his might.
Chad started to lift his foot to kick the door down when the door opened. But Chad was shocked when Connie, not Sonny, answered the door.
"Sonny, honey, it's him," Connie said over her shoulder.
Realizing they had been talking about him and that Sonny was in the room, crying her eyes out, Chad took a deep breath and said, "Hi, Ms. Munroe. Is Sonny ok?"
"Hi, Chad, come in. Sonny's right here on the couch," Connie replied, stepping aside so Chad could enter.
Chad's heart broke all over again when he saw Sonny's tears.
"Sonny, what's wrong? Sonny, please tell me," Chad said, throwing down the cheese basket and grabbing Sonny's hand.
"Chad?" Sonny murmered.
"Yes?"
"Let go of me."
"I'll just leave you two alone," Connie told them before going to her room.
"Sonny, you said we could talk," Chad whispered, reluctantly releasing Sonny's hand.
"I don't wanna talk, Chad."
"Please just give me a chance," Chad pleaded.
"Fine."
"Fine," Chad couldn't help but say.
Sonny just glared at him.
"Sonny, I came to apol-are you even listening to me, Son?" Chad asked.
"What? Sorry. I don't want to talk right now."
"Then, m'lady, I will sing for you..." Chad said and then mentally slapped himself for using her nickname.
Chad grabbed the guitar and began to play the song he heard in the car: Get Back.
After he finished the song, Sonny glanced up at him, unable to conceal a small smile.
"I didn't know you are a Lovatic, Chad," Sonny commented.
"Well, you don't know everything about me. But the song speaks for me, Sonny. I wanna get back with you. You are the only one I want. And you were the first one I fell for. Please, I need you. I'm so lonely without you," Chad said, hoping Sonny would forgive him.
"Chad," Sonny paused, "I don't know what to say. You've hurt me before. How do I know you won't hurt me again?"
"Sonshine, I promise to let you have your moment in the spotlight. I don't like this 'normal,' where you avoid me and our shows hate each other. Just give me another chance," Chad begged. " I'm not gonna lie, Sonny, I've been a mess. Do you see my hair?"
Sonny smiled, realizing she wanted to get back, too.
"Well..." Chad breathed.
"Well..." Sonny mimicked.
"Sonny, will you take me back? I've missed you, Sonshine," Chad said earnestly.
It seemed like forever before Sonny answered.
"I've missed you, too, Egg Whites."
"So can I take that as a yes?"
"You can take that as a maybe," Sonny winked.
Suddenly Chad leaned forward and kissed Sonny. He pulled back quickly, realizing he might've lost his last chance.
To his surprise, Sonny leaned forward and kissed him back.
"You can take that as a yes."
