Once again, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding- the story is NOT over :)
OMG we're up to 300 reviews! You guys are awesome! Now I need to go through the reviews and find who wrote the 300th :D
This is going to be one of the last chapters, before the epilogue. (sniffle)

I'm dedicating this chapter to Rebecca, because she totally deserves it- sticking with me through every chapter, every scene, every incident of this story- you are truly amazing :)
I only have two words to say to you, and I hope it sums up everything: Thank You :)
Chad's Point of View
My eyes snapped open- I was in a white room, on a white cot, with machines and tubes surrounding me. Is this heaven? or... was I in... hell? I thought about it. Nah, me and Sonny couldn't go through all of that and end up in hell.
Oh my god. Sonny. "Sonny," "Sonny," "Where's Sonny?"
Suddenly, a man in a white coat and glasses came into the room. "He's awake!" He announced, attracting a few more people in white coats to my cot.
One of them came up to me with a needle. I flinched and pushed him away. "Back off! Now where's Sonny?"
He looked at me, surprised, and stepped back. "Who's Sonny?" he asked one of the other doctors.
"The girl I'm in love with," I looked down.
They rolled their eyes at me, and I saw some of them chuckle. I frowned.
"He refers to Miss Allison, in the next room,"
"Sonny's here?!" I jumped up, only to be pushed back down by a doctor.
"Stay down, Son,"
"But I need to know if she's okay!" I snapped at the one who pushed me down.
"This is a hospital, Mr. Cooper, you're in need of treatment..."
"Wait... a hospital? Where the hell am I? What year is it?" I screamed, not knowing where I was... was I in 1912? I thought Sonny and I died in 1912...
"Should we send him to the psychology ward?"
"No... it's probably just some post-trauma from the taxi accident. Mr. Cooper, you're in the L.A. Emergency Room- it's 2009,"
I froze... 2009? Emergency Room? Taxi Accident? Sonny and I couldn't have just imagined the whole Titanic thing... we just couldn't have. It was too real...
"No no no no no no! Where's Sonny?!" I felt a stinging sensation in my arm. "Ouch!" I winced in pain. A nurse had given me an injection while I was distracted with the thought of Sonny.
"Okay, Mr. Cooper, now that you've been given your injection you may lea-" I was up and out of the room, even before they had finished speaking. I went to the next room, where they had said "Miss Allison," was. I walked in, and the room was empty, the bedsheets were disheveled, and Sonny's locket... was on the side table. I picked up the locket, tears welling in my eyes, as I had remembered the night before, when Sonny and I had drowned together...
"Mr. Cooper, she's not he-"
"I get it, she's gone, she passed away, she's moved on," I grumbled, storming out of the hospital, and calling for a limo- no way was I getting in another taxi.
Sonny's Point of View
I picked at my meatball sub, I wasn't up to eating it... stupid Meatball Monday. I handed it over to Grady, who looked at me, concerned, but continued to wolf down his sub.
"Hey... Sonny... you doing okay?" I looked up... it was Portlyn. I tried to smile, but a couple tears rolled down my face, instead. "Do you want some of my Chad sandwich? (A/N: Reference to 'Sonny in the Kitchen with Dinner')
she asked, getting a plastic knife, and placing half of her sandwich in front of me. "You need to eat something," she smiled at me.
"Thanks, but I'm not hungry," I pushed the sandwich away. Truth of the matter was, I wasn't in the mood to eat, because I was too sad. Images of me collapsing- and dying, as I assumed I had, in Chad's arms, kept replaying in my mind. I had no way of knowing if Chad was okay, and I certainly didn't want to eat a sandwich named after Chad- it just seemed wrong.
"How about a Son-shine Everyday smoothie?" Marta walked over, placing the smoothie that was named after me, in front of me.
"Sonny... do you want to talk about it?" Chastity asked, sitting next to me.
"Can't you tell she wants to be left alone?!" Tawni snapped at Chastity, Marta, and Portlyn.
The three Falls' girls glared at her. "You know what, Hart? Maybe our shows aren't ones to get along, but have you ever seen Sonny not smiling? You can't blame us for wanting to know what's wrong, and showing that we care, especially when you're just sitting there, with your 'Bite Wipe Gloss' method, wolfing down that meatball sub," Portlyn snapped, walking away with Chas and Marta, before giving me a look that said "We're here, if you want to talk about it,"
I managed to smile, and I mouthed "thank you," to them.
"Sonny?" I heard someone... no... it couldn't be Chad...
I whipped my head around. "Chad?!" I asked, not believing it was him.
He ran up to me, and grabbed me, twirling me around in the air, before setting me down and embracing me in a hug.
"I thought you- you were gone,"
I started crying, and Chad wiped my tears from my face, tears running down his own. He leaned down and kissed me, with intent and passion, I eagerly kissed back, just happy we could have this moment.
His arms moved down to my waist, and wrapped around me, pulling me closer to him, and I placed my arms around his neck, bringing him even closer.
Suddenly, we heard some throat clearing, and it occured to us, that we were still in the Condor Studios Commissary. We turned around, and found we were looking back at the excited faces of Chastity, Marta, Portlyn, and Tawni, the annoyed Nico and Grady, a grinning Dakota Condor and... smiling Mr. Condor?! Marshall and Mack Falls' director, Rick, had expressions that seemed to read "Finally,"
I felt my face flush, and I turned my face away. Chad pulled something out of his pocket, and he clasped it around my neck.
"The locket? I thought I lost it..." I looked down at the Victorian-Era locket now around my neck, and I pecked Chad on the cheek, recieving squeals of delight from Chas, Marta, Portlyn and Tawni. The males from Mack Falls just continued eating, obviously bored and uninterested.
"Does this mean you two are fine with doing the movie together?" Mr. Condor asked, a grin apparent on his face- I didn't know Mr. Condor smiled, much less grinned.
We looked at each other, and Chad leaned down to kiss me again.
"There's your answer," Nico grimaced.
"Amazing how a taxi incident can bring two people together..." Tawni trailed off. Chad smiled within the kiss, at how oblivious everyone was. Maybe nobody else knew about our Titanic Adventure, but it'd be something we'd remember forever.
There you go! Chapter 16. No, it isn't over yet- just 2 more chapters, and then an epilogue :D
You know what to do- read and review!
