"And I broke it last night, didn't I?" I asked her. She nodded slightly, and I clenched my teeth. How could I have been so stupid? I mean, after all that she has been through, I just went and "broken" her wall.
"But you know what?" She said, and took a deep and unsteady breath. "It's OK."
"What do you mean?" I grabbed her shoulders, and made her look me in the eye. "Sonny Allison Monroe, I love you."
CPOV
"W-what?" She asked me, bewildered.
I froze. Had I just said that out loud? I think I just made the stupidest mistake of my life. Now she would reject me, run off, and I would live in misery for the rest of my life.
I opened my mouth to speak, but I was at a loss for words. What was I supposed to say? My throat suddenly became a raging fire, burning inside of me.
"Tell her how you feel!" I said to myself. I took a deep breath, but my ego interrupted me.
"Are you crazy?!? You can't tell her! You'll ruin your image!" My ego yelled.
"Tell her, and you'll live the rest of your life happily with Sonny!"
"Don't tell her, and keep your image in tact."
"She'll find someone else!"
"Top story: Chad Dylan Cooper from bad boy to Softy?"
"Tell her!"
"Don't you dare!"
"Tell her!"
"Stop!"
"You stop!"
"No yo-"
"SHUT UP!" I yelled in frustration. Could my ego be more annoying! I guess this is how people feel when they meet me for the first time.
"Excuse me?" Sonny asked, astonished. My body turned into a statue. Had I said that aloud? I looked into her eyes, and they were filled with confusion, sadness, and a broken heart. One that I had caused.
"No! Not you!" I exclaimed astonished at how dumb I seemed. Tears filled Sonny's eyes, and she looked down.
"Why wouldn't you be talking to me? You don't love me, Chad. Just tell the truth. You just feel sorry for me. That's it." She burst out into tears, and ran away.
"SONNY!" I yelled in frustration. She always thought so low of herself.
She ran fast, but I was faster. I positioned myself in front of her, making her bump into me.
"Chad! Leave me alone!" She yelled. No way was I letting her go that fast. I grabbed her chin, and made her look me in the eye. She was very stubborn and shook her head. My grip was very strong, and she eventually stopped and looked at everything but me.
"Sonny. Listen to me. Please." I pleaded. She still wouldn't look at me. "Ok, fine then. Just listen. I know you are probably very confused right now. Heck, so am I. I mean, I just confessed my love to you and I didn't even stop to think about it!"
She chucked softly at that, easing the mood between us.
"But," I started" I know that I didn't make a mistake. Me and you, we were meant to be together. I love you, Sonny. All I need right now is for you to tell me to get away, and I will leave you forever. I won't even try to talk to you."
"Shhhhh." She hushed me, placing a finger on my lips. "You actually mean all that you said?" She asked me. I nodded quickly, and let my hand fall from her chin.
"Well then. I-"
"LOOK! SONNY MONROE AND CHAD DYLAN COOPER! GET A PHOTO OF THEM! QUICK!" Bright lights flashed in front of us, blinding us.
"Jerk!" I heard Sonny yell, and I opened my eyes. She was looking at me. At me.
"What did I do?" I asked her.
"What did you do?!?" She yelled. "You probably set this up! I can't even believe you went that low! Getting the paparazzi? I would never expect that from you, Chad!"
She ran away, and I quickly followed. What was up with her and running today?
"Sonny! Wait! I didn't set this up!" I screamed at her.
She quickly dashed to her car, and reversed out of the parking lot. I climbed into my car, and soared after her. She was going south, the opposite way of the studio. I don't think she has ever been on the opposite side of town before. Luckily, there were almost no other cars on the highway, so I could keep my eyes on her.
"CHAD DYLAN COOPER! PLEASE! JUST A PICTURE!" I heard somebody scream. I glanced into my rearview mirror and saw the paparazzi in a car behind us. Don't they have anything better to do?!?!
I grabbed my phone and dialed Sonny's cell.
"Hello?" I heard a sobbing Sonny croak.
"Sonny!"
"Chad?"
"Please! Just listen to me!"
"Why should I?"
"Because I didn't call the paparazzi on us! Promise!"
"And should I really listen to you?" she spit out. "I'm sick of this, Chad. I'm leaving. Permanently."
"NO!" I cried. "Sonny, listen to me. Stop the car and wait for me. I can't see you anymore on the road. Please." I pleaded.
"Chad please, just-"
"NO! Sonny, stop the car right now."
"What are you? My mother?"
"Right now I am telling this to you as your best friend. Dammit, Sonny! I-"
"CHAD! AHHHHH!" She screamed, and the line went dead.
"-love you." I whispered. "Sonny? Sonny? Answer! Dammit! Please!" I yelled into the phone.
I threw the phone on the passenger seat, and sped up. Soon enough, I heard people shouting and cars parked in the middle of the road.
"What the-?" I mumbled. I screeched to a stop, and climbed out of the car.
"HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE! CALL 911!" I heard people scream. I started to run, pushing pedestrians out of my way to see what was happening.
It couldn't be Sonny, could it?
"Hey!" Somebody shouted at me. "What do you think you're doing, running through the highway into an accident, boy?"
"MOVE!" I shouted. "I need to get there! Please! Get out of my way!"
"You need manners, boy." He snapped, and punched me.
I stumbled back, leaning against a car parked in the middle of the road.
The right side of my face felt like it was on fire, but I just ignored the pain. I had to keep walking. I had to see if Sonny was ok.
With my cheek on the right side of my face, I began to run again. Or sprint, if you want to call it. I have never this fast in my entire life.
I reached the accident, and ran faster. I just needed a peak at who it was. Just to see if it was Sonny.
I ran a few feet more, and froze. Tears clouded my vision. I felt like my whole world was falling to pieces. A bullet shooting into me would have felt better than this. You want to know why?
Right there, her bloody face appearing barely from the broken window, was the sunshine of my life.
The one that was in a flipped over and broken Mercedes.
