Chapter three: Light

X x

"Good."

"Good!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

This was their usual routine. Find each other, say hi by insulting each other, have a pointless and extremely repetitive arguement and then walk their seperate ways again. But today in particular was different. Sonny had stuck around at Mackenzie Falls just to try and get her own back, only to end up falling into countless arguements and constant banter with no one else other than the notorious Chad Dylan Cooper. So, to her, he wasn't that big a deal (though he was very attractive...), but to any other "fangirl", well, they would be dying to be where Sonny was currently at, retorting defiantly against him whilst getting him riled up and angry. How lucky they would be!

"Jerk" Sonny screamed in his face, but he wasn't phased. He just returned her batch of insults quickly.

"Idiot!" Chad yelled back and the two of them were breathing heavily. They stopped for a second and just looked at each other, angry snarls and narrowed eyes gracing both of their faces.

"Sonny, do you have any idea wh-" Chad began, but he was speedily interrupted by Sonny, who's wit was sharp as ever today.

"No Chad, do you have any idea of what a jerk you are? I mean I thought you were not that conceited. Turns out I was so wrong! And you know another thing? I don't ev-" Now, Sonny had a long telling-off planned for Chad, but didn't get chance as the light flickered unsteadily, which caused both actors to look upwards, simply watching the dangerous shimmer with pleading eyes.

"Please don't go off, please don't go off, please don't go off..." Chad and Sonny both recited in their heads, but fate seemed to be against them as it shut off for three full seconds and then dimly came on again.

"Don't just stand there Chad! Fix it!" Sonny urged, shaking his arm with tight fists enclosed around his blazer.

"Oh, and how do you expect me to do that that?" He sarcastically questioned and Sonny knew in that one second that it wasn't going to be fixed anytime soon.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the light suddenly flashed off and Sonny and Chad both jumped back as the bulb unexpectedly blew up. Sonny clung to him fearfully whilst he wrapped a protective arm around her waist, the pair of them watching the mini firework display as the now broken bulb frizzled and popped.

The pair of them stayed there for a minute, regaining their breath and clinging to each other, before they both realised and slowly turned to face one another.

"Get off of me." Chad sneered and even though Sonny couldn't see, she knew he was frowning and narrowing his eyes in disgust as he eyed her harshy.

"You get off of me." Sonny snapped back, refusing to move until he did. Oh no, she was just too stubburn for that!

"I said it first, so you get off." Chad replied, annoyed.

"Well, I say it better, so you get off me." Sonny replied firmly and they both huffed, before letting go of each other simotaneously. They both couldn't help but miss the warmth that they had gained from each other and they both felt slightly cold now.

"Great, just great..." Chad muttered under his breath and Sonny delivered him an inquisitive expression, though he definitely wouldn't have noticed it in the dark.

"What's wrong?" She quizzed, curious. She hadn't really seen Chad frustrated until now. Sure, she'd seen him angry and wound up, but they were two different things afterall. Just a little bit frustrated, instead of being full blown angry, was a nice, refreshing change to Sonny.

"My torch. I can't find it." He mumbled, apparently embarrassed, as he felt his pockets through one more time. In the dark, he clenched his jaw and checked every single pocket at least six times, Sonny standing there with a curious frown the whole time.

"Well done Chad... Why would you even have a torch with you anyways?" She trailed and he glared at her. She hadn't seen, but she had felt the air literally tense around her and she could make out the rough outline of his figure; his head was definitely facing her.

"Whatever. We'll just have to find it. For now, let's put this fight behind us. We can fight some other time." Chad stated and Sonny nodded, both of them agreeing to the dismissal of their petty arguement.

"Yeah, we need to work together anyway." Sonny smiled slightly. She and Chad, although sworn enemies, made quit the team. How come? Well, the way they handled Selena Gomez together was completely tidy and fight-free (in their case of course!).

"Sonny. Take my hand." She peered in the vague direction of where he was and stared, one eyebrow raised and hands on her hips. "Now..." He added venomously and she didn't dare disobey him then. Se cautiously took his hand and she felt him release his tension in his arm, allowing it to relax. She did the same, marvelling at how amazingly perplex it was to feel somfortable in Chad's firm hold. His skin was smooth, yet it had a certain roughness to it aswell. Such a mesmerising contrast between the two could only be successfully pulled off by him.

"Chad, do you even have any idea where it is?" Sonny enquired tiredly, glancing around the darkened room. She could see the brief outline of the major things in his dressing room, such as the small sofa, his desk and his door that led to his own bathroom. But nothing in between. She couldn;t understand why it would be so dark; maybe they were filming again and the lights were off in there too? A little bit far-fetched, but it could be the reason. There was nothing else to explain it afterall!

"In the next room. I'm not sure where it is though." Chad replied, grasping her hand tightly bewteen his careful fingers.

"Ah, alright then. Let's get this over with." Sonny mumbled and she felt Chad nod, the movement travelling down his shoulders, arms and eventually into his hand as it quivered slightly upon moving.

They carefully stumbled across the room, Sonny tripping several times along the way. Chad would never be the one to leave her behind in a dark room and so stayed loyally by her side the whole time, not once trying to get away from her. Secretly, she was impressed!

"Sonny, watch out!" Chad warned when she trod on the back of his heel when he stopped suddenly, spotting a long, hazardous wire on the floor, leading up to a small radiator. Slowly, he guided Sonny over it and then crossed it himself, knowing that if he went first, she would most likely fall over.

"Thanks for helping me back then." She whispered gratefully and Chad smiled slightly, before his face fell straight again.

"Whatever. We both need to get there in one piece anyway. I can't find the torch on my own." Chad grinned, knowing that comment would annoy her. She clenched her teeth together hard, but didn't say anything, probably in turn for him helping her with the whole wire episode.

Amazingly, they managed to get out of the room together without Chad blowing his temper and Sonny falling over anything, though mostly, that fact was to do with Chad and his self awareness. Although he did have the advantage as it was his studio and his rooms...

"Through here." Chad directed calmly and Sonny followed his directions blindly. Did she honestly trust him this much? So much that she would let him guide her when she couldn't see. Almost as if he was her set of eyes. He fufilled the role too well.

They shuffled into a large room - larger than Chad's dressing room - and Sonny began to peer around worriedly, a slightly apprehensive expression coating her face. She clutched Chad's hand tighter and he looked up in suprise, but said nothing.

"Scared Munroe?" He smirked, voicing the two small words cooly and calmly.

"Not of the dark. Just of falling over and hurting myself." Sonny frowned, surveying the large room for a second time.

"Don't worry," Chad stated camly and Sonny glanced at him, intrigued by his new mindset. "I'll be here for you. We'll find the torch and then it'll be alright. I'll let you use the torch to get back to So Random! studio and then I'll go back here. End of." Chad explained firmly and Sonny couldn't help but feel better.

"Together?" She asked, which made Chad peer at her. With a sigh, he breathed:

"Yes. Together."

Chad, being the confident, egotistical guy that he was, strode itno the room, leading a waddling Sonny in after him and he immediately began scanning the room once more with his keen, ocean blue, eyes.

This wasn't as bad as Chad had thought it was going to be. There was so much that he hadn't eve felt before; the pleasent skipping of his heart, the blood pumping hard to his hand in which only made

him sub-conciously grasp her tighter, the adrenelin of not being able to see properly rushing to his eyes and making them keener and more observent. So many things that he'd never really put any thought into and noticing them all at once was just a tad overwhelming.

Chad thought he saw something to his left and immediately stpped Sonny from moving anymore.

"Wire to your left." He declared, stepping over it widely, expecting Sonny to do it the same. However, she was too far back to mimic Chad's neat stride and get over the wire. So naturally, she stepped closer in order to make sure that she didn't trip over it from such a distance, but her foot got caught. Before she could fall, Chad steadied her and unlatched her shoe from the wire with a cautious flick of the wrist, motioning her that it was safe. She breathed out a sigh of relief, and stepped over it, but her foot that was still behind got caught and she stumbled clumsily.

Chad, getting irritated when he didn't feel Sonny move anywhere snapped: "What's taking so long Munroe?" But as soon as he had, he felt his back hit the floor with a thud.

"Oww..." He croaked, feeling the pain in his back and a weight on his stomach. What on earth...?

"Sonny! Watch where you're -" He began to yell, but he felt a small tingle, coming mainly from where the weight was.

"I'm so sorry Chad!" She exclaimed, trying her best to get off of him, but her foot was still caught in the wire. Chad shuffled, trying to help her the best he could to get the wire unhooked from her. He couldn't help but feel a guilty tingle rush down his legs as she writhed around and wriggled desperately.

"Sonny..." He mumbled. She didn't even achknowledge him as she continued to mutter apoloiges under her breath.

"Sonny." He tried again, a little bit louder and enforced this time. She still blabbered endlessly and Chad breathed out an irritated sigh.

"Sonny!" He yelled above her incesant blubbing.

"What?" She suddenly stopped stumbling amongst half sentences and looked at him quizzically.

"It's just your foot, y'know. Now hold still while I untangle it for you." Chad explained softly and she nodded quickly, getting herself into a sitting position so that Chad could sit up and undo the wire from around her foot.

Sonny blushed slightly at the suggestive position, her knee's on either side of him and he sat with his legs outstretched, his back bent as he tryed his best to reach for the long, winding wire. He eventually grabbed it, and gave it a small toss, freeing her foot from it's clutches.

"Thanks Chad. I'm...Sorry." She tryed her best to smile, but she was silenced by a hot, red blush, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She silently thanked God that thelights were off!

"Don't worry about it." Chad grinned, watching her carefully. "What are you so embarrassed about, Munroe?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." She mumured in the dark of the room.

"Ah, ok then." Chad smirked, picking his arms up and wrapping them gently around her waist. She immediately tryed to wriggle away and onto her feet to save face, but was held down firmly by the arrogant actor.

"Chad, what are you -?" She began, but was interrupted by something soft touching her lips. Just as soon as it had begun, it stopped and a low, husky chuckle was heard from in front of her. Too dazed to say anything, she simply buried her head in his neck and tryed to steady her breathing. Yes, it hadn't been a long kiss by any means, but it had made her heart race and her blood pump fast all the same.

"Hey! Sonny!" He exclaimed, making her jump slightly and cling to the lapels on his blazer.

"Don't scare me like that!" Sonny cried, narrowing her eyes in the dark.

"Sorry, sorry..." Chad mumbled dismissively. Then he raised his hand that was closed and she saw the last thing that she had expected to see:

A torch. A tiny torch, but a torch all the same.

"Look what I found..."
