I'd read in some magazine, that when danger appears, everyone's first instinct is to either, take flight, or fight.
I'd always liked to pretend I was a fighter.
But honestly, I take flight. When something happens that ruins everything, I run. When I thought Sonny cheated on me, I ran. And then, when James stood there and claimed that "Sonny had been lying to me" and that Autumn "was his child" I wanted to run.
Every part of my body wanted to run straight out the door. My hands tingled with the urge to be clenched into fists as I sprinted away. My feet were begging me to pound them against the concrete by running.
After I had been standing there confused, for what couldn't have been more then a minute, I turned. I was about to bolt for the door when I caught a glimpse of Sonny.
He face was a collage of emotions; hatred, confusion, frustration and… pain? Did she really care if I left? She'd pushed me away
Then her voice echoed in my head "If I didn't have Autumn, I would let myself fall and risk the heartache… "
And what Tawnie had said. That she still loved me.
I turned back to face James and Sonny.
I had promised, maybe not out loud, but I'd promised myself that I would never run away with out hearing the facts.
"Chad," Sonny said softly ending the silence. "Think rationally, Autumn looks just like you." He voice became more rushed. "I haven't even been on a date with James in seven years! Not to mention, he's insane!" "What!?" James shouted, ending her rant.
I ignored him. I was too busy thinking about what Sonny had said, and then I knew. Sonny was right. Autumn was like a female baby, version of me.
"I guess there is only one way to prove this." I started, my words pointed directly at James, the lunatic. "We have a D.N.A test done."
James face fell. His arrogant smirk, that proved he was confident I was going to leave, vanished in an instant.
Instead a smirk spread across my face. "Unless you were lying?" I asked with the undertone of my confidence showing plainly.
He sighed and mumbled, "Yeah, I was lying."
I shook my head with mock sadness. 'Dude, what is your problem?" I asked rhetorically.
He didn't say anything; he just gritted his teeth together and walked towards the door. He flung open the door and without another sound was gone. He didn't even shut the door.
Sonny and I went and sat down on the couch.
Sonny turned and looked at me.
"You stayed." She smiled her brilliant smile.
"How could I not?" I said simply "I learned my lesson."
She smiled even bigger, something I hadn't thought was possible. "You really mean that, don't you?"
I nodded, a small smile on my face.
She took a step towards me, her smiled faded and she was serious. "Chad, I still love you… and maybe if you want to, and you still love me… we can start working on us again."
I looked into his chocolate eyes again, and now I was smiling. "I could never stop loving you, and there is nothing else I want to do more then I want to love you and Autumn."
She reached down, and slipped her hand under mine, her dazzling smile once again, adorning her face.
Then I spoke up, and now my smile was gone "Sonny, are your sure you can forgive me? After what-"
Then she cut me off, and ended our game of smile-volleyball. She had wrapped her arms around my neck and had crushed her lips against mine.
Then she trailed her mouth to the side of my mouth and whispered "Does that answer your question?"
I moved my hands to the small of her back as we deepened the kiss.
Our lips movements against the others were interrupted by Autumns loud cry.
We pulled apart and looked at her; she didn't even know what she had missed.
