----------------------
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Sonny remembers it like it was yesterday.
Okay, well technically it was. But everything that happened after the call made it seem so much longer.
The panic. The denial. Her confusion. His last hope, gone.
---------
She was eating dinner when she got the call. It was Thanksgiving, and all of So Random! got to go home for the weekend.
Her parents picked her up from the airport 3 days ago, and she was supposed to go back to Hollywood in a week.
They were having their Thanksgiving dinner; where everyone in the family was present. Her oldest brother Joey, her middle brother, Anthony, and of course So Random!'s newest shining star, herself.
She only came home because Anthony told her that he could hear her mom crying sometimes. She remembered suddenly how her mom used to tell her, “Sonny, you won't leave me right? You and I, we'll stick together”.
It was the first time in months that their family was together. With Sonny on So Random! and Joey in his second year at UNC, it was mostly their mom and Anthony at home.
Joey was eventfully explaining his courses when Sonny's phone rang.
She ignores it, but then it rings 4 more times.
“I can never eat dinner without my superstar daughter getting a call, can I?” her mother muttered.
Sonny looks at her mom apologetically, “It won't be long, promise”.
She takes the phone and quickly runs to the living room.
“Chad, it's Thanksgiving! What is it?” she whispered angrily into the phone.
But instead of the cynical reply she expects, she hears dead silence on the other end.
“Uh, hello?”
Suddenly, she hears helpless whimpers and cries.
“Chad?” she asked, worried.
“...S...Sonny?” came weakly from the recieving voice.
“Ohmigod Tawni?! What happened? Are you okay? How about Chad? Nico? Grady? Hell, Marshall? What's happening?!” Sonny started to ramble.
No response.
Suddenly, Tawni begins to bawl into the phone.
“Sonny.. oh God.. it's Chad. Fuck.. Sonny” she muttered, breathing heavily in between her tears and wails.
“Damnit Tawn, what's happening?” Sonny asked.
“He... He got into a car crash” she answered, her voice faltering.
Abruptly, Joey Munroe finds his bubbly, bouncy sister on the ground, crying her eyes out.
But he knows what happened, she doesn't need to tell him. They were always the two closest ones.
“We're going to go with you. He needs you” he whispered softly.
Forgive my broken promise that you`ll never see me cry
--------
So Sonny and Joey both went off to Arizona. It was pretty quiet.
On the airplane, Joey holds his sister's hand. He knows that Chad was somebody that Sonny truly did love.
He knows the feeling of losing the person you love the most. He never wants it to happen to Sonny.
Soon, he feels weight on his shoulder. He sees his sister sleeping, and he rests her head on his shoulder.
She doesn't need to carry the burden alone. He's going to stay with her until the very end.
Rest your head, I'm permanent
--------
AN: okay, this is gonna be a “flashback”. Not really, but this is going to explain what happened to Chad.
I know he`s living in hell every single day
Thanksgiving was Chad's least favourite holiday. Sure, the concept of it seemed nice. But come on. Thanksgiving is for normal families. The kinds that actually see each other and eat dinner together. Chad always envied Sonny for having that. Sure, her family was spread apart. But they could still be apart and still be a family. Chad never had that.
So on this day, Chad never really did anything. He would drive away for the holiday (with his beautiful car and his trusty GPS) to wherever the road lead. He told Sonny that one year, they would go on this road trip together.
Chad thinks that these annual trips keep him from going over-the-edge. Yeah, he can be the biggest jerk. But during this time during the year, he's probably the most calm person in the studio, other than Sonny.
He loves the open road because the decision is his to choose. At the studio, he has to put up an act of arrogance and audacity. The open road. He knows to for at least one day every year, he doesn't have to be Chad Dylan Cooper. He could just be Chad.
But then, his cellphone rings and he has to put up his act once again.
“CDC. Who is it?” he asked.
“Cooper. Did you tell her yet?” Tawni asked forcefully.
“Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Blondie” he answered acrimoniously.
“Chad. You could lose you chance, you know”.
God, won't she give me a break? It's Thanksgiving.
“Tawni, it's fucking - OH FUCKING CRAP!”
---------
Sonny was a patient person. But she hated waiting.
So when she reached the hospital in Pheonix (which was Chad's destination on his yearly 'Whats the point of Thanksgiving' trip) and nobody would tell her what room he was in, she snapped.
“LADY, CHAD DYLAN COOPER IS MY CONFUSING EX-BOYFRIEND. I NEED TO GET INTO THAT FUCKING ROOM! DAMN IT, I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT!” she yelled angrily to the receptionist.
Joey quickly took her away, and spoke to the receptionist on his own.
“My sister, she's having a breakdown. She just needs to know if he's okay”, he told her sweetly.
“Hm, alright then. Cooper, she yelled? He's in the Operating Room. No visitors allowed. But his family and friends are in Room 1152” she answered.
--------
Sonny just needed him to be okay. She didn't care if he would banter with her or mock her whenever he saw her. She wouldn't even care if he pranked her again or if he dated Portlyn or Selena friggin' Gomez.
She needed him.
She enters the room to find Chad's aunt Liz, his mother, Jade, and his younger brother, Alex.
Before she can glance at the other side of the room, Tawni jumps at her.
“Oh God. Sonny, I'm so fucking sorry, Jesus. I didn't know that by calling him this would happen. I know you love him and I could have killed him I'm sorry forgive me sorry sorry sorry” she said, at Sonny's knees.
She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. It's a sad smile, the kind that shows suffering and pain.
“Tawni”. And with that, she hugged her.
Because she's Sonny freakin' Munroe.
And her job was to make those watching her happy.
She would keep up a strong front to make everyone else believe, too.
Even if it was killing her inside.
She always did hate waiting.
And when they say it's all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away
-----------
This most likely will become a two, or three-shot.
I need to find some inspiration though, LOL. Maybe after hearing about how the American Idol tour went into Portland, I can work on this again.
I don't want to end it here though, cause I loove Chadddy and he can't diee.
