I do not own Sonny With a Chance...I also don't own some of the quotes I used in this chapter. (.net/, if you were wondering :P)

If you don't mind my asking, how did you end up losing the people closest to you?

~LifeIsn'tAlwaysSunny

As he glanced at the screen, he frowned. Her username was beyond accurate. His life had been very cloudy for months, figuratively speaking. Just remembering the situation that had even lead to this conversation in the first place depressed him.

He cautiously knocked on her door; the butterflies in his stomach were killing him. After their unfortunate date, he felt the need to make it up to her. He should've been more careful with what he'd said.

She finally opened the door and he tried to smile at her, but it came out looking more like a grimace.

"Look, what I said. I –"

She interrupted him and he was momentarily relieved. Only momentarily though. "I ... I don't love you. I'm sorry, I care too much about you to lead you on when I know I don't return your feelings. I'm sorry." She closed the door then softly, with regret on her face.

His face fell. He felt almost numb. She didn't love him. After all they had gone through together ... She didn't love him. It had all been a lie.

It was the last thing he wanted to talk about, but LifeIsn'tAlwaysSunny deserved to know that she wasn't alone.

Well...It's hard for me to talk about as well. I guess what happened to me is actually pretty different. Its strange how despite that, we seem to have so much in common. Basically, I thought I was in love, and to be honest, I still am, but obviously, my love isn't returned. She dumped me because she didn't have the same feelings. Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

It pained him to write that out, but he would never get the love of his life back. He needed to understand and accept that. There was almost something reassuring about admitting that. It also helped to know that he wasn't alone with having problems with love. LifeIsn'tAlwaysSunny had everything in common with him.

Oh my god, that's awful! I'm so sorry. I know how you feel though. Sometimes I just wish I was a little kid again. It was so much easier then. Skinned knees or even broken bones were always so much easier to heal than a broken heart. Why do we even bother with love? It will just destroy you in the end.

~LifeIsn'tAlwaysSunny

We bother because, as cliché as it sounds, it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. As much as it may be unbearably painful now, it is all worth it if you think back on all the great times you've had.

He grinned at the memories that flooded his brain.

"Ugg! You will not believe how stupid my friends are being!" she exclaimed when he let her into his apartment.

She was so adorable when she was upset. "Actually, I don't think I'll have any trouble believing it," he smirked cheekily.

She gave him a look that obviously meant that this was not the time for jokes.

"Look hon, I don't mean to be mean or anything, but it's true. Your friends have a habit of annoying the heck out of you," he said as he reached up to her and pulled her down to sit in his lap.

She sighed and leaned her head back to lie on his shoulder. They had always fit so perfectly together. "Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, they can just be a little ridiculous and overprotective sometimes. Apparently, you are suddenly not a good boyfriend for me anymore, just because they don't get along with your friends."

Though thinking of the lack of acceptance towards him from her friends put him in an unbelievably gloomy mood, he needed to be strong for her. "It's almost like Romeo and Juliet, don't you think? Fighting for freedom to do what we want together." He struck a dramatic pose in an effort to make her laugh. He just couldn't stand seeing her this miserable.

She giggled at his attempts. "You're such a drama queen." When he playfully pouted at her, she smiled again. "But you're my drama queen."

He leaned in for a kiss, and as always when their lips met, he felt truly at home.

As he pulled back, he suddenly realized exactly what she had said. "Hey wait a second, I hope you mean king!"

The room was filled with her beautiful laugh as she grinned. "Actually I didn't...but maybe you can hope to be promoted to prince in the near future."

They had always been so perfect. Why did it all have to end?

He had a point, she thought as she read lovestinks124's last message. She had had some great times with Chad, despite his occasional stupidity. No matter how many times he did something to mess up their relationship, he always managed to fix it.

"Never again, Chad, never again." She whispered before slamming the door to his dressing room with all her might.

He had cancelled on their date under the pretence that he was sick. She was so worried about him that she decided to check on him and bring him some chicken soup, only to realize that he had lied to get out of going dancing with her. They had planned to take a lesson in some classic dances for the fun of it, but apparently, Chad's image was too important to him. He didn't want to be seen doing something so "old-fashioned".

As Sonny was lying in her room, trying to finally get some sleep, she heard a knock on her door. When the visitor persisted the incessant knocking, she reluctantly got up and groggily answered the door. In front of her stood Chad, looking very uncomfortable in nineteenth century clothing.

"M'lady, would you honour me with a dance?" He bowed and Sonny couldn't help but nod her head. It was impossible to stay mad at Chad for long.

Chad pulled out his iPod and passed her an ear bud. She couldn't help but laugh at that. It was a very odd mix of a classic and modern type of life, but it was them. Just the way they were always meant to be.

What does everybody think of the guy lovestinks124? Does anybody have predictions? I'd really love to know how the story looks like it will turn out to the readers. :) I've got quite a few ideas actually. I just haven't decided which one(s) to use yet.

Also, in case you are wondering, the next chapters will have a faster pace. Now that lovestinks124 and Sonny have gotten to know each other, Chad and her life at Condor Studios will come more into play in the story.
