Chapter 4

CPOV

Sonny, Chad, Tawni and Ryan sat on a comfy leather sofa in Chad's next door neighbour's house.

"Thanks for all your help Tara." Chad thanked the lady in her mid forties that was sitting opposite them.

"It's the lest I could do." She smiled. The sounds of the fire engines could still be heard from Chad's from garden and he tried to block them out. He didn't even want to think about what state his house was in. Tara's husband, Ben walked in and sat next to her.

"Are you sure there's nothing I can get you?" He asked again. The four teenagers smiled and shook their heads. They were all still in shock. There was a knock at the front door.

"Ah, this will be Tawni's parents." Ben said, going to answer the door. Sure enough, Tawni's mother came walking in.

"Tawni! Oh honey I'm so glad you're okay." She hugged Tawni quickly and they walked to the front door.

"See you soon," Tawni called to her friends.

"Thank you." Tawni's mother smiled and shook Ben's hand.

Soon after, Ryan's parents came to pick him up and there was only Chad and Sonny left. Ben excused himself as he had work but Tara stayed with them waiting on the arrival of both their parents.

"I understand this hasn't been the best week for you two." Tara said suddenly.

They looked up at her. "No, I guess it hasn't." Chad said cautiously.

"You two will probably think I'm crazy," She started. "But, when I was younger, there was this terrible rumour going around. It used to scare the living daylights out of me." The two looked at her curiously. She continued. "Basically, it was about the devil. He'd be very horrible and would kill people, sort of like the devil you see in movies." She looked up to see if they understood her. Chad and Sonny stared at her wide-eyed. Could she know what was going on here?

"Well, I never believed any of it. Until one day, my aunt was in a terrible accident. She was very lucky and escaped unscathed. But… this wasn't her first accident. She had another and another and another. The rumour states that you have ten chances to live if the devil picks you. My aunt…" She closed her eyes tight, fighting back tears. "She made it to eight."

Sonny and Chad breathed out in a huff. This was it. She knew what was happening to them.

"I don't know if this is what's going on here, but please don't think I'm mad." She looked at them worriedly.

"How… how did you know?" Sonny stammered. Tara sighed.

"I guessed. I knew something wasn't right." She looked deep into the scared teenager's eyes. "You can beat this. You're younger, you're stronger, you have each other for help, and now you have me. If ever you need any help or a place to stay when things are tough, come to me. I'll be here for you." She smiled warmly at them. Chad smiled gratefully back to her.

"Thank you." He breathed. Chad and Tara were good friends. They only knew each other as neighbours, so no stupid stardom ever got in the way.

When Sonny's parents arrived, they explained to Chad that his mom and dad were on their way home but that he could stay at Sonny's house until they got back. They all climbed into the car after loads of 'thank you's' and waves, then drove to Sonny's house. Sonny cuddled up to Chad in the back seat. Chad looked down at his girlfriend. He just didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her everything would be alright because it might not be. So he just rested his head on top of hers and played with a strand of her hair.

When they got home, they walked into Sonny's house. Chad smiled. Of course he'd been to Sonny's house before, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw it. The walls were painted a bright creamy yellow, which reflected Sonny's bright personality. They walked hand in hand into the house, Sonny's parents not too far behind. But Chad wasn't just worried about just them two anymore. He'd now realised that other people could get hurt because of this and he was frightened to be around anyone else, even if it did make him feel safer.

They sat down at Sonny's large dining table while Sonny's mom got them some break fast.

Sonny and Chad ate their toast slowly, playing with it more than eating it. Neither of them were hungry. After ten minutes of messing with the toast, they both gave up and put it back on their plates. Suddenly Sonny burst out crying. Chad stood next to her and she sobbed into his chest. He was glad this muffled the sound, as he and Tara were the only ones that really knew why she was crying. Chad felt a single tear roll down his own cheek. No, I have to be strong, for Sonny. He told himself. When she grew quieter, he knelt down and looked her in the eyes. Her stroked her cheek softly with his thumb.

"Don't worry baby. We'll get through this." She said quietly. Sonny lifted her hand and wiped away the glimmering tear on Chad's cheek.

She nodded. "Together." She smiled weakly and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. He never wanted to let go. This was how it should be, him protecting her. But he couldn't protect her from this. They had to work together to survive. Chad would never tell Sonny this, but life wasn't worth living with out her. So if she died, they both did. He breathed in her familiar scent and sighed. He couldn't begin to tell her how much he loved her. There were no words that were capable of so much feeling.

"I love you." He told her. He knew these three words could sum up the half of what he actually felt. She pulled back and looked deep into his blue eyes.

"I love you too. I always will." She replied and closed the space between them. She kissed him softly and the kiss grew deeper. Chad returned the kiss willingly, pleased to know she loved him as much as he loved her. When they finally broke apart, Chad placed his hands either side of her face.

"You are the most important and special thing to me in the world and I will always be with you." He vowed. She smiled lovingly, her eyes tearing up and kissed him softly again.
