Disclaimer: See last chapter

A/N: In the last chapter I put Sonny's dad, I meant to say granddad, as Sonny's dad is dead so it would be impossible for Connie to call him.

Thank you so much to Saxchick for pointing that out to me.

Chad jumped up when he felt her hand move a little in his and he smiled, she had been out for over three days now and he had missed those beautiful brown eyes that had attracted him to her so long ago.

He grinned down at her before running out to get a nurse or a doctor, running back in quickly and grabbing her hand again when she moaned in pain. Her eyes closed for a moment so she could focus on everything going on around her and she sighed, squeezing Chad's soft hand as tight as she could manage to let him know she was okay.

She looked at him when she could finally open her eyes without it hurting and smiled at him,

"How are you feeling?" Chad whispered, watching the tears fall down her cheeks as she shook her head and gulped a little as the memories of what happened that night washed over her. She knew that if Chad hadn't come when he did, she would be dead.

"Okay I guess." She muttered, looking down a little and then smiling when Chad kissed her softly on the lips,

"Better now." She laughed, clutching onto his hand even tighter when she pain rushed through her body. He bit down on his lip when he watched her grimace in pain and lifted up his hand to smooth down her hair affectionately.

"I thought I had lost you." He whispered, Sonny shook her head and frowned a little,

"You can't get rid of me that easily." She smiled and then winced in pain when she felt the fresh bruises and cuts throb.

"I should leave you alone for a little while." He said, standing up and kissing her on the forehead. She shook her head, not letting go of his hand as tears quickly ran down her face.

"Don't leave me, please." Chad shook his head,

"I am only going to get something to eat and maybe some rest, and then I promise you that I will come back as soon as I am done." Chad looked behind him at the doctors, he knew they wanted to check over her and he knew that if he didn't go have a break now then Connie would throw him out later when Sonny was a little more awake.

He kissed her again, muttering a sorry before walking out. Sonny shook her head and let the tears fall freely down her face, she could feel her chest tightening as she closed her eyes and tried to think of something else.

She could hear the doctors telling her to calm down as the heart machine raced. She kept her eyes closed as tight as she could when she could feel the darkness pulling her in.

"Chad." She muttered, before giving in to it.

"What happened?" Chad walked into the room with a cup of coffee, looking at his girlfriend laying on the bed with an oxygen mask on. He shook his head and then ran over to her, grabbing her hand and kissing her on the forehead.

"She had a panic attack just after you left." Connie whispered, smoothing Sonny's hair out of her face as she looked down at her.

"What?" Chad shook his head and sat down,

"She... um.. she got scared after you left the doctors said." Chad nodded,

"I shouldn't have left her." He muttered, taking her hand in both of his, Sonny slowly opened her eyes and saw the tears making tracks down his face.

"I'm sorry for scaring you." She muttered through the mask,

"I have never been so scared in my whole life, don't you dare do that to me again." He whispered, squeezing her hand as tight as he could and shaking his head,

"I won't." She smiled, her body slightly shaking from the panic attack. She remembered passing out for a while, only to wake up to the sight of her mum telling her that it would all be okay, Chad would be back soon.

She sighed and closed her eyes again, making sure Chad was still there by keeping her hand in. She had no idea why she was so scared at the thought of him leaving her alone, but the thought terrified her. Chad was the one who made her feel safe, he saved her life, he protected her. She was almost paralysed with the fear that she could be without him one day, with the thought that she might be alone, or he may leave her for good. She couldn't cope.

A/N: Sonny's getting all clingy, bless her.
