~ Chapter Fourteen ~

Sonny sighed and looked down at her watch as she waited for Chad outside the studios – he was running late and it was freezing outside. She bit down on her lower lip and decided that she was going to wait a few more minutes before running back inside.

She looked up at the night sky and frowned a little, she couldn't shake that feeling that something bad was going to happen, no matter how many times she tried to tell herself that she was just being stupid.

She jumped when she heard people walking towards her and closed her eyes, convincing herself that McKenzie Falls had finally finished and people were going home, it was nothing.

She opened her eyes when she heard someone laugh, she could feel her body shaking and she knew it wasn't from the cold. She looked back down at her watch and shook her head, it would be better if she waited inside. She looked down at the floor as she walked, counting her steps as she tried to ignore the sound of voices behind her. She was almost at the door when someone grabbed her waist, she closed her eyes again and silently hoped that it was her boyfriend.

"Where you going darling?" She shuddered at the sound of his voice and opened her mouth to scream loudly, maybe Chad was on his way to pick her up, maybe he would hear her and then everything would be okay again. Chad promised he would protect her, he promised. Her mouth quickly closed when a hand roughly clamped over it, stopping any sound that could have escaped her mouth.

Tears dripped down her face as he dragged her towards the small alleyway a few steps away, she could feel her body freezing in complete fear as she tried to think of Chad. He would save her, he always saved her. She shook her head and tried to kick him but stopped when she noticed three other guys. She whimpered and cried out when one of them brought their hand to her cheek, grinning when they saw the pain in her eyes.

Her eyes went to the gun in his hand and her eyes widened, she was going to die, she knew it.

"Scream and you die." The man whispered in her ear before kissing her on the cheek, and then chucking her on the floor. She hit the dirty, wet concrete hard and heard a bone snap. She held back the scream as she bit down hard on her lower lip until she could taste that metallic blood as it flowed into her mouth. She could feel tears fall heavily down her face when one of them grabbed her by her hair and dragged her further down until they couldn't be seen by anyone walking past.

She was so tempted to scream but her eyes went to that gun again and she knew she couldn't leave Chad, she couldn't do that to him. He held on for her, she had to do the same for him.

Her body shook when one of them punched her hard in the face, she groaned when she felt blood drip down her face, whimpering again when the man behind her grabbed her hair and banged her head hard against the wall. She wanted it to end already, why did this have to happen to her?

She bit down on her lip again to stop herself from screaming when one of them brought their foot to her ribs, over and over again. She closed her eyes from the pain hoping that darkness would take over soon. She felt a hand on her face again as it slapped her hard, and then again and again. They wouldn't stop, she just wanted them to stop.

"Look at me bitch." She shook her head and looked away, her eyes still closed, she held onto the hope that it would all end soon. She sobbed when she felt the gun swiftly hit her head, causing even more pain. She stopped herself from screaming when they brought her to her knees, she couldn't believe that this was going to happen to her – what had she ever done to deserve this?

She cried out when she felt a knife to her neck, opening her eyes to look at him as he trailed it down until it hit her stomach. She shook her head, hoping he wasn't going to do it, closing her eyes as hot tears ran down her bleeding face when he brought the knife back, someone grabbed onto her hair and pulled her head back, she looked up at the night sky and knew it would never be the same again.

She finally screamed when the knife plunged into her stomach, grabbing it as she looked down at the bleeding wound, she was going to die, she was convinced that she was going to die. She shook her head and held down on it, trying to stop the profuse bleeding. She cried out when the gun was held to her head, she bit down on her lower lip as she realized that this was it, she was going to die.

"Chad." She whispered, she loved him so much, she wasn't supposed to leave him soon. She was supposed to get married to him and have his children and they were going to grow old together and be happy until the day they both died together, it wasn't supposed to end like this. Nothing was ever supposed to end like this.

"Sonny?" She opened her eyes a little when she heard someone call her name, she could see him then, running towards them. She noticed the men look at each other and then run as fast as they could in the opposite direction, she smiled a little when she noticed that they weren't going to shoot him. They weren't going to stop him from saving her, just like he had always promised.,

"Sonny?" He was almost there now, she told herself as she dropped down to the ground, still clutching onto her stomach.

"No, please don't leave me baby." She could hear the tears in his voice as she closed her eyes, trying her best to force herself to open them but the darkness was willing to take her in it's arms, the painless dark that might be able to keep her safe. She felt one of his hands grab her own as he cried into the phone,

"Don't die, please Sonny." He sobbed, picking her up and putting her head on his lap as he rocked back and forth, tears dripped down onto her forehead but she could hardly feel them. She could feel his hand just slightly but even that started to fade away, everything – including the pain, - started to go away. And then everything was gone, there was no Chad and there was no pain, there was no stars, there was nothing. Just the welcoming darkness.
