~ Chapter Fifteen ~

Chad ignored everyone who came up to him as the paramedics wheeled her from the alley way, he shook his head at any questions and just whispered comforting words in her ears. He held her hand as they ran into the ambulance, promising that he would never let go. Tears dripped down his face as he realized that their relationship was mostly based on promises that neither of them were sure they could ever keep.

He carried on holding her hand when they got to the hospital until he was pushed away, he bit down on his lower lip as he tried to stop the scream he could feel bubbling up inside of him as he leaned his head against the cold hospital wall.

He shook his head and realized that he was Chad Dylan Cooper, he could do what he wanted and when he wanted. There was no way they could take him away from her. He looked around before running into the room they had taken her in as tears fell down his face. There was so much blood, too much blood.

He held her hand and glared at everyone who dared tell him to leave the room, he watched the doctors as they worked around him, not caring about them as long as he was with his Sonny. He looked down at the sheets that were no longer the white they had been before Sonny came in, but instead were stained a harsh shade of red, only reminding him even more of the severity of this situation.

He listened to the sounds of those around him, everyone was in a rush to save the girl laying there as her eyes slowly opened and looked up at Chad. He smiled down at her through his tears and put a hand on her forehead, ignoring the blood he had now gotten onto her face as he smoothed her beautiful hair out of her eyes.

He knew why they were in such a rush to save her, it was because she was about to die and if they didn't help her soon then he would never see those brown eyes again, he would never hear that laugh, he would never feel this lips on his and he would never see that smile that brightened his day ever again.

"Large entry wound to the abdomen, small exit wound to the lower back." He looked up at the doctor, his hand still in Sonny's as the older man spoke. He looked down at the wound, noticing for the first time just how much damage the knife had done. He looked down at the amount of blood and shuddered a little, he knew her chances were slim but he still looked into Sonny's eyes and smiled, trying to convince the girl that he loved that everything was going to be okay but he could tell by the look on her face that she knew he was lying.

"Her lungs are failing!"

"I need two units of 0 stat!" Chad could hear voices all around him but he focused only on the girl laying down, he whispered words to her that he could only hope would keep her hanging on for that little while longer.

"It's going to be okay Sonshine, it's going to be okay. I love you, never forget that. You're going to make it through this, you're going to be okay." He repeated it over and over again, trying to convince himself of his own words as well,

"I-I.." He choked on the word promise, because that was all he seemed to do. He would promise her that he would keep her safe only for this to happen, he would promise her that nothing was going to happen but then he was late meeting her and this happened.

"I'm so cold." He noticed Sonny's whole body was shaking as she used every last bit of energy to speak to him, her lips had turned a light shade of blue as they chattered but he could still see the hope in her eyes, the same hope that he knew reflected his. She just had to be okay, she couldn't leave him.

"I can't feel my legs..." Tears fell down her face when all of a sudden the hope vanished when she realized there wasn't any left, there may not be anything left for her anymore. She could feel Chad's grip on her hand loosen and for a moment she panicked that he was going to leave her all alone to deal with this.

"Don't leave me!" She cried out as loud as she could, squeezing his hand as more and more tears started to fall down her face and hit the bed beneath her. She looked away from Chad for a moment and towards the ceiling, trying to focus on the white lights shining above her.

Chad put his own shaking hands on her forehead once more, his heart beating fast when he realized just how blue her lips were, how shaky her possible last breaths had become. He tried to focus on the breaths he was taking, his own were irregular but at least it was still there.

"Pulse is weak!" He could hear, he watched as machines was connected to his girlfriend but he still stood there, refusing to leave her alone, he was never going to leave her side until he knew that she was going to be okay.

"You're the most amazing girlfriend in the whole wide world, you showed me exactly what love can feel like and I will never forget that. I love you so much, I cannot even imagine a world without you, without your laugh, without your smile. I can't imagine waking up and being alone, when you're laying next to me in my arms...that's what home feels like to me. You're the only one who has ever made me believe in life, you're the only one who showed me that life isn't one big drama and you can be happy. And when you get better then I will take you to see that movie you wanted to see the other day, I will sit all the way through it." Sonny smiled at him as the tears slowed down,

"I love you so much..." She croaked out, her eyes slowly closing as the machines around her stopped beeping and instead went into a continuous drone, something Chad knew would haunt him for the rest of his life.

He heard shouts from around him, the panic that had erupted in that one moment, he heard himself scream and then he was pushed back when the doctor shouted clear. This time he didn't put up a fight though, he stood there watching her as they tried to get her heart beating again. He stood there and looked down at his blood covered hands as she shock settled in.

Tears fell heavily down his pale face as she paddles were brought down onto her chest, he quickly looked at the machine feeling as though a piece of his heart had been torn up when there was no change. They carried on though, he would never forget that determination to save the sixteen year old girl's life. The girl who meant more to him than anything else, the girl he couldn't live without – he wouldn't live without.

The machine still didn't change, the beep continued, the straight line carried on seeming like it would never end and Chad shook his head.

"Stay with me, please baby, don't think about leaving me." He whispered to himself, he saw the doctor look around him as he shook his own head, about to give up. Chad bit down on his lip, they couldn't give up on her, she meant more to him than anything else in the world, she was his lifeline and without her he would be nothing.

He sank down to the floor and huddled up so nobody else could see his tears, so that nobody would see his pain. This wasn't right, it was never supposed to end like this, she was going to be fine, she was going to live. But no matter how many times he told himself that she was going to be okay, that continuous beep carried on until Chad couldn't take it anymore.

He knew that if they told him that she was gone, never coming back then he would die right there and then, Sonny was his reason for breathing, his reason for living, she was the reason he got out of bed and the reason he rushed into work. She was his reason for everything and he had no idea how he would cope if she was taken away from him because there would be no reason for anything anymore. Without Sonny Munroe there would be nothing, no life and no Chad.

So he ran, he ran away from the beeps and he ran away from the doctors, he ran away from all of the blood that he knew covered his own body... her blood. He didn't bother wiping away the tears as he ran out of the hospital, collapsing against a wall as he screamed her name over and over again – if she died nothing would be right again.
