Hehe, for anybody who is actually still reading this story, thanks for sticking with it, and I'm so sorry my update took so long.

First of all I was crazy busy with school and secondly I was kind of discouraged by the lack of reviews, but I've decided that I'm going to write a few more chapters and finish up the story, because I hate leaving things so unfinished.

Okay anyways, other than that, hope you enjoy the next chapter. :)

She walked down the hallway with a grin. Somehow that expression had been appearing on her face far more frequently in the last few weeks than before. She had finally begun to realize that it reallywas better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. She giggled to herself as she realized that she was quoting lovestinks124.

She could finally remember her past with Chad without breaking down in tears. She still had to keep busy to stay in this optimistic mood, but she was healing more and more each day.

Her daily talks with lovestinks124 were really helping her, and she had a feeling that he was feeling better as well. Everything was looking up. Lovestinks124 was the perfect friend for her, and she really felt as though she was beginning to develop feelings for him. They were helping each other to heal, both damaged souls, just looking for a home. Come to think of it though, she didn't know much about him. She knew how he thought and knew all about his emotions, but she hadn't ever met him…she didn't even know his name!

As she walked down the hallway her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she crashed into a person going in the other direction, and she suddenly found herself lying on the ground.

She glanced up and suddenly found herself face to face with him. Both of them sat on the floor for a moment just staring at one another, until Sonny broke the moment and got up. Chad quickly mirrored her movements and as they both stood standing, Sonny tried to reproduce the smile she had previously been wearing. "Long time no see… How've you been?"

As he replied to her, the moment was over, and they slipped into meaningless small talk. "Pretty good…you know, busy at the Falls…"

"I heard that you got picked up for a fifth season, congratulations." Sonny was incredibly proud of herself; she was managing to talk to him without feeling that familiar tug at her heart strings.

As Chad thanked her, Sonny smiled again and paused a moment before saying goodbye and continuing to her dressing room. She pulled up her internet and found a message from lovestinks124.

"My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on." – "Forrest Gump"

I watched this movie the other day and I thought of you :)

~ lovestinks124

Sonny beamed as she read the quote. They had lately been sharing quotes, sending short lines that they had recently heard to one another which had meaning for them. After the sweet quote that lovestinks124 had sent her, she wanted to reciprocate with a great quote, but finally just settled on a line which pertained to both of them.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." – "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

That movie may not be as deep as "Forrest Gump", but the quote still brings across a nice message. :)

I just had a conversation with him without having a breakdown. As ridiculous as that may sound, I really think that I'm finally starting to move on.

It only took moments for him to reply.

"When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life." – not sure who said this, but I love this one, even if it's only somewhat related.

I'm so happy for you! I feel very similarly actually. I finally feel like I'm starting to move on, at least enough. I'm never going to really get over her, but I really believe I can learn to love again.

As Sonny read the post she couldn't help but agree. Lovestinks124 had so much in common with her. Sheesh, she absolutely hated having to call him that. She wanted to be able to talk to and think about him with a name. She wanted to be able to have a face come to mind when she thought of him. She wanted to talk to him, face to face, see him smile or cry, have him see her smile or cry. After only a moment of thought, she decided on exactly what she needed to do. She was going to put her heart out there again.

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it". – Groucho Marx

I want to meet you. We've been talking for so long and if you're ready as well, I'd really love to meet the one person who made me feel better when nobody else could.

Her finger hovered over the mouse over the "send" button. She needed to do this; it was the step to moving on with her life.

I know, short chapter, but I've already written the next one, and I'll post that in a few days :)
