Disclaimer: As much as I would love to, I don't own Sonny with a Chance.
Sigh. Chad found out that I tried to give LexidaLou and muffalo829 two bowls of Super Cooper Spaghetti. So here goes: *puts on chef hat and stands in front of camera* (monotone) Chad Dylan Cooper is the greatest actor of our generation. He is amazing and not conceited or selfish at all, despite what I told him for not wanting to share. Not to mention that he is a "sexy beast." What, Chad? No, I didn't use quotes! I swear! Fine, don't believe me! Oh, is that spaghetti? Give me some! Yes, I said it. Ugh, you're so uncaring! No, the camera isn't on anymore! Fine…. I'll turn it off. *turns off camera*
Okay, so now that that's out of the way, I would just like to scream! 28 reviews? That's incredible crazy! You guys must really like that review button as your best friend! Thank you! I had to update today because of you. And I got my braces off! But now I have a retainer. Sigh. They said I have to wear it for a few years. And it's permanent. Oh well, at least no one can see it! Okay, on with the story!
CPOV
I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Usually the beach calms me down, but I just can't stop thinking about the date. What if he hurts her? I mean, he said he wouldn't, but Jason says a lot of things. I don't listen to most of them, considering he called me a dimwit, but still.
Suddenly I heard a scream in the distance. And it sounded a lot like Sonny. I took off running in that direction and saw Jason's car leaving the dock. That jackass! (A/N: Excuse my language please.)
I ran over to the dock and ran until I saw a single object at the edge of the pier. Sonny's cell phone. It must have fallen out. But then where was Sonny?
I knew she hadn't been in the car with him, so does that mean….. I muffled a scream as I realized that he had probably thrown her in.
Faster than I thought possible, I kicked off my sneakers and jumped into the water. It was dark, but I was determined to find her. So I kept swimming.
I swam around at the bottom, for what felt like minutes, without breathing. Then I saw something in the darkness. It was floating. Sonny's hair! I reached down until I made contact with her arm and tugged her up.
When we got to the surface, I breathed in the salty air my lungs so desperately needed. Then I wrapped Sonny's arms around my neck and swam to the shore.
When I made it out of the water and onto the beach, I held her in my arms. "Sonny?" You could hear the panic in my voice. "Sonny?"
Her head was bleeding, but it wasn't too bad, so I threw off my shirt and wrapped it around her head. Then I did chest compressions, counting to thirty in my head. Okay, what comes next? Oh yeah, mouth to mouth.
I repeated the process until she started coughing. I let out a sigh of relief. "Sonny…." I breathed, hugging her close. "You're alive."
She opened her eyes and looked at me. "Chad?" she croaked. I laughed in relief and held her to my bare chest. "You're breathing! You're alive!"
She nodded. "I'm so sorry Chad. I should have listened to you. Where's Jason?"
I groaned. "He got away. Don't worry, we'll turn him in some way. Are you okay, Sonshine?"
She nodded. "Thank you, Chad. Thank you."
I grinned at her. "What are friends for, right?"
She smiled back at me weakly. "Yeah. I can't believe… I mean he… I thought you…"
I smiled sadly. "You thought I was the bad guy here, right? It's okay Sonny, I'm used to it."
She looked down. "It just didn't make sense. Chad, you're amazing. Thank you so much. I know I don't know you that well, but I feel like you're my savior. And apparently it isn't the first time, either."
I laughed breathlessly and sat up, forcing her to too, considering she was in my arms. "No sweat, Sonshine. Anything for you." I winked at her to let her know I was joking. But I wasn't really.
She laughed and relaxed into my arms. "Thank you Chad."
I smiled. "You said that already."
Sonny turned to me, looking at me in a funny way. "What?"
She grinned, biting her lip. "Nothing."
"What?" I pressed.
Sonny laughed. "It's just…. I never would have figured that out of all of the outcomes my date could've had, that I'd be sitting here on the beach with you, just like last night."
I smiled at her. "Well, Sonshine, you know CDC." Then my tone turned serious, sad. "Expect the unexpected."
She looked down. "That's sweet Chad. I never really would've pictured you as poetic."
I smiled. "There's a lot about me you don't know, Sonny. For instance… everything." I was deliberately trying to make her mad now, but she just laughed it off.
"Chad, Chad, Chad," she reprimanded. "Are you mocking me?"
I grinned playfully. "Maybe."
She laughed again and leaned into my chest. Her wet body touched my bare chest, and I was reminded that she had hurt her head. I turned to her, concern evident in my eyes. "Sonny, how's your head?"
She smiled. "It's fine. In fact, I don't think it hurts at all. Why?"
I frowned. "It was bleeding. Can I look at it?"
She nodded, so I gently removed my shirt and looked at her forehead. It was still red, but it had stopped bleeding. I grinned and gently touched the cut.
Sonny hissed under her breath, so I removed my hand. She shook her head. "No, it's fine."
I looked at her, concern clouding my eyes. "Are you sure?"
She nodded, so I resumed my position. Sonny tensed up, but didn't say anything. I sighed. I didn't want to hurt her, but I had to make sure there was no sand in the cut. I tried to do this as gently as possible, but it must have still hurt.
I smiled, relieved as I often was tonight. "No sand, Sonny. Are you sure you don't want to get stitches, though?"
She looked at me, undecided. "Is it really that bad?"
I looked at it carefully. "No. I guess not. You'll probably be fine."
She sighed in relief. "Good. I've spent enough time in the hospital lately."
I smiled at her. "I'm glad you're okay." She looked at me, that same funny expression on her face. "Yes?"
Sonny smiled. "You really trust me, don't you?"
I looked at her in confusion. "Why do you say that? I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just wondering what made you think of that. I do trust you though, Sonny."
She smiled. "I'm glad. I trust you too. I was just thinking about how you open up to me, and how I've been told by Tawni that you don't like to open up. It just doesn't add up. Why me?"
I let out a breath of air, trying to avoid the question. "Why not you?"
Sonny rolled her eyes. "That's not an answer, Chad."
I sighed, deciding to tell her the truth. I just couldn't lie to her for some reason. "Because Sonny, that's what love is, isn't it? 'Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to.'"
She looked at me, shocked, completely missing the "poetic" quote. "What?"
I looked her in the eyes. "Sonny, I love you. And I know you don't know me, but that's okay. I just realized that you only get the chance to tell the person you love once, because if you pass up the opportunity, you've waited too long."
She looked at me, bewildered. "You're Chad!"
"What?"
Ooh, cliff hanger! Haha, sorry if this was short for you, but you got your dose of Channy at least. Okay, one chapter and one epilogue left before the sequel. The review button has been stolen by one of its many friends, so for now, I have made Chad fill in. So please, press Chad and tell me what you thought. And I recommend muffalo829 and Camilla Monet's stories. Seriously, check them out! And press Chad to review! See, he's waving! Hi, Chad! SMILES!
LOL
