Chad came nearly three minutes after Sonny had been taken away by James and she wasn't taking it very well.
When Chad walked into the school, he turned left to go to the fifth grade hall and nearly tripped on a kinder gardener.
"Um, hi my names Thomas and I'm five years old so I'm a big boy!" I couldn't help but smirk at the little kid. "Can you help me and some friends?" He was still smiling and I couldn't help but laugh. Shrugging my shoulders and forgetting about Sonny I said, "Sure, why not."
Thomas led me more towards the hallway, and I heard crying getting louder and louder but it wasn't like a kid crying, or like a little girl after her big brother hit her. It sounded like a adult like she just lost her boyfriend or something. I looked down at Thomas. "Who is crying?" Thomas shrugged.
"We just found her on the floor. Something about a guy named James, I think. She also said some very icky words." James! Girl crying! Adult! It all made sense. "Sonny." I ran towards the crying noise which was on the way to the fifth grade pod anyway. But what I saw wasn't Sonny, It was Tawni.
"Tawni whats wrong?" Tawni looked up to me and then started balling again/
"Tawni, please tell me." I plead. Thomas than caught up with me.
"Tawni? I thought you said Sonny." Tawni cried even harder and I tried to think of what could be happening.
Tawni crying, James, No usual loud fifth graders, Tawni looking like a complete mess and not caring, No Sonny...no Sonny! James! I gasped.
"Tawni did James take Sonny?" Although her head was to her knees, I could tell that she nodded and a bolted right up and dialed a familiar number on my phone while walking to Mr. Provost fifth grade class room to see f anyone was left. About after I turned around to find no one there The phone picked up.
"hello Chad." James said. I could here a gasp and James sis shut up.
I clenched my fist. "Where's Sonny?" James chuckled. "Want your precious little sunshine now do you?"
I hopped into my car and left the kinder gardners to deal with the Drama Queen/
Figuring Sonny was at James' I typed in his address on my phone after just hanging up on him.
"don't worry Sonshine." I whispered. Every things going to be ok."
Chad parked his car in front of the pitch dark house. Inside and out it was dark and Chad didn't like it one bit. He jumped out of his car and ran in the house, busting the door open and running up the stairs, figuring she might be in James' room.
Chad heard a girl scream and he ran in the direction, which was James' room. He busted that door open too and found Sonny tied up in a corner. Her mouth was taped with duck tape and James was next to her with a pocket knife in his hand. He looked up at the sound of the door and smiled.
"Chad, have a seat next to me and we'll have a little chat." Chad shrugged, acting like he didn't care and sat next to James, trying to ignore the blade ever so close to Sonny's neck.
"Now I'm going to make this quick. Either you let me marry Sonny and she stays alive-" was he serious? Really that's what this is about? Life makes no sense. "- or she dies. I'll leave you two alone to discuss it." James ripped the Duck tape of Sonny's face and walked out the room and by the squick the house was making, down the stairs.
Sonny pressed her lips against Chad's and quickly pulled away, crying into Chad's chest. Although Sonny was tied up, Chad rubbed his hand against Sonny's back to confert her.
"Shh, Sonny it's going to be ok. Really." Chad really wished what he was saying was true but he and Sonny both knew it wasn't.
"I don't want to die." Sonny wailed into Chad's shirt. Chad sighed and kissed Sonny on the top of the head.
"Shh...shh."
Kennady flickered her eyes open to the sight of white, her parents grandmother and Shaylee and Cole.
"Hey Ken." Shaylee and Cole both knew that Kennedy hated that name, but Shaylee couldn't help it.
Kennedy bolted right up. "Where am I?" she asked. The machines frightened her and she showed a little girl in her eyes. You could read her face clear as a billboard, especially shaylee and her grandma but now, that's a whole different story.
"You're in the hospital because that...Gorilla crap somehow made you cut your hand or something." Shaylee said.
"What she's saying is," Cole started. "that you lost so much blood so you kind of had to, uh come here." Cole wasn't the most enthusiastic person, so he blushed as you talked form shyness.
Kennedy looked down at her hands, making her long golden brown hair hover over her face. "Oh." Her mother came over to her and kissed her cheek. "At least you're ok. Do you remember anything?" Kennedy looked up at the white dull ceiling. It had a few coffee and blood stains from past residence but Kennedy ignored it, trying to go back to why she was in this boring, white place.
"I just remember calling someone, my uncle? Hm, I don't know but someone Gorilla Crap. Wait I thought I never had an uncle." Her mother sighed. Cole bolted up at a memory and looked at Shaylee.
"Sonny! Or Ms. Monr- Mrs. Cooper! That guy, what was his name? Jesse or something. I think Sonny shouted his name. Um...oh what was it?" Shaylee looked down at her feet, Kennedy was still looking at the ceiling and the adults were just standing there not sure what to do.
A nurse with Twilight hair to her shoulders and a white dress and white flats came into the room with a clipboard.
"Sorry guys, you're going to have to leave. We need to run some tests with Kelly."
"Kennedy." Kennedy said, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest.
"Right. Sorry Kaitlyn." Shaylee sighed and looked at her friend. Walking away with everyone else she waved goodbye.
