100 Things I Never Said
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny with a Chance. Damn it, Disney!
Summary: My take on HoLlIwOoDbOuNd13's challenge. A lot of Channy, but sometimes you have to squint.
3- Afraid
Chad Dylan Cooper wasn't afraid of most things. He never really had anything to fear.
People loved him, so his job was stable; he lived in Hollywood, not some exotic place with wild animals going to kill him.
Storms are nothing, just scary noises, not much happens, and heights are just a way to show you it's possible to be high enough that it's like you're flying, but there was one thing that always scared Chad since the day it waltzed up into his slightly too big head.
That one fear was losing the thing he'd ever loved most.
Chad Dylan Cooper was deathly afraid of losing Sonny Monroe.
He loved her more than imagined and every time he held her close he got weak in the knees.
At least she was his and seeming to always be, but he never knew when she could walk away.
Chad didn't deserve Sonny so; he lived in fear of the day she would wake up and realize that, and walk away.
He dreaded the day she found someone better who would love her no matter what.
He loved her no matter what but he wasn't better.
He was just Chad, and that would never take him far with girls like Sonny.
He loved her and she loved him, but was that ever enough?
He didn't want to be the one thing that held her back from following her dreams; she was talented and needed to share that with the world.
She needed to find someone who would be okay with letting her leave every time she needed to, someone who would hold her a little less tight every time she had to go somewhere else.
But anyone who had ever met Chad Dylan Cooper would know that he's extremely selfish. He was never going to be that, or tell her he wasn't the one for her.
He was going to fight her every time she wanted to leave then kiss her later, he would hold her with all he could and never let go, never let her leave him.
He would always be afraid but that didn't mean he couldn't fight.
He would never stop loving her, and never stop holding her. He would never leave her.
Chad Dylan Cooper has to be a hell of a lot better than fear to ever be afraid.
Now Chad would know that he shouldn't be afraid of losing Sonny as long as he held her tight and never let go.
(AN) Ok. Not much to say. That was also fun to write.
