Sonny was being released from hospital again, she had only been there for a week this time, mainly focusing on her own mental stability. She was still underweight, but she knew that it was something she could change with the new diet plan she had been given. She knew she had to do it this time, she was ready to recover and she knew that she always had this place if she ever felt like going against her own recovery ever again.
Sonny grinned when she thought about getting out of there, even though she hadn't been there for as long as last time, it was still amazing to be released. She knew – as well as everyone else did – that she wasn't recovered yet but she was closer than ever before. While she was in there she decided she was going to recover whether she liked it or not – or rather, whether the voice liked it or not.
She knew she could not live like this for the rest of her life. Being thin wasn't everything, it didn't have to be the main focus in her life. She was never bothered about it before, and although she knew she would never be like that again, she could still get close. She wanted recovery this time more than she did before, she knew she was going to get it as well. Because whatever Sonny Munroe put her mid to, Sonny Munroe did.
Lisa was on her own to pick Sonny up and at first she wondered if it was because her best friends were in a mood with her because she had failed them once more, but she knew that even they couldn't change their minds that quickly as they were there for about ten hours yesterday.
She smiled at Lisa and got in the car,
"Where's Tawni?" She asked, looking at the older woman,
"She had some homework to do." Sonny noticed the hesitation in her voice and sighed,
"Oh okay"
"She wanted to come but I wouldn't let her." Sonny nodded and then smiled,
"How are you?" She asked Lisa, grinning as she did so – she felt a lot like the old Sonny this time - she laughed at the girl,
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" Sonny shrugged,
"Everyone asks me all the time, thought I would ask someone for a change."
"I am okay thank you and you?"
"Good thanks, glad to be out of that place" Lisa smiled,
"Glad to be coming home?" Sonny slowly nodded, biting down on her lip as tears glazed her big, brown eyes,
"I'm sorry" She finally said, Lisa looked at her and noticed the usually strong Sonny was now crying,
"For what?"
"For doing this to everyone. I know you don't need to put up with it."
"I don't need to but I will because I love you and the rest of 'So Random!' just like all of you are my own and I am glad you can come to us." Sonny wiped away the tears,
"Thank you. I think of you as my own mum as well... I mean I know I have mum, but she can't cope with stuff like this. She saw her own sister go through it when she was younger, I should have known this would hurt her... But I have you to go to when things get hard.." She smiled a little, and Lisa grabbed her hand,
"And you always will have me."

The cast had waited for Sonny to get home for ages now, Tawni sighed and looked at her nails, then at Zora's watch,
"Mother is behind schedule." She muttered, tapping down on Zora's watch, who glared at the girl and pulled her arm away,
"It don't matter." Grady laughed at her and then patted her on the shoulder,
"Yes it does, we have a specific timetable for everything tonight. Everything has to go perfect." Nico rolled his eyes and laughed loudly,
"I am sure Sonny will appreciate the whole party." Tawni just nodded and started pacing back and forth. Everyone was here a while ago, and were all getting ready to hide at the moment. She had a surprise for Sonny hiding upstairs as well, she knew that would probably be the highlight of the whole party for her best friend.
Finally the key turned in the door and she saw her mum walking through, everyone quickly hid and Zora started to giggle, she stood in the middle of the room with Tawni and smiled at Sonny, who looked at them both weirdly, wondering what was going on and just as she came into the living room, everyone jumped out. Sonny looked surprised and happy at the same time, she laughed with everyone who came up to hug her and then finally got to Tawni , wrapping her arms around her, glad when Tawni didn't pull away.
"We know you're going to get better this time." She nodded and laughed,
"Take it Tawni arranged the decorations." She looked around at the perfectly placed banners and balloons. Zora just nodded and then went off with the two boys to get some food,
"Thanks Tawni.. really. You're the best." Sonny hugged her,
"This wasn't my idea, I wanted a small meeting at the studios or something but someone insisted otherwise..."
"Who?" Sonny looked at her confused,
"Look behind you" Tawni grinned as she pointed at a person standing behind Sonny, giggled as she quickly turned around, the joy in her eyes was evident once she saw him.
She smiled at him and he grinned back,
"Go on!" Tawni pushed her towards the vacant hallway where Chad Dylan Cooper stood. He looked at her as she slowly walked towards him, once she finally reached him, he grabbed her and kissed her with as much passion as he could manage, he wanted her to know how much he loved her, he needed her to know that no matter what, nothing would ever change his feelings for her,
"I am so sorry" He said and she shook her head,
"I understand why you did it and thank you." He hugged her tight, never wanting to let go, and then the music turned off, Sonny turned around and saw her friends all nodding at her, she looked confused and when she turned around she noticed Chad on his knee. She couldn't help but grin, especially when she saw him pull out a little box from his jacket pocket. She felt herself turn red when he opened it, revealing a small, yellow diamond ring. She loved how he knew her favorite color and how it matched her necklace, she loved everything about him.
She laughed when he opened his mouth to speak, for the first time since she had known him, Chad looked scared and she shook her head, trying to reassure him. He grinned his infamous grin at her and she laughed. She realized she was shaking and he grabbed one of her hands,
"Sonny, I love you so much. I want to show you how much, and I would love it If you would spend the rest of your life with me – who wouldn't?" He grinned winking at her as he said the last bit, Sonny could feel tears of happiness run down her face as she heard those words, laughing a little when he didn't fail to big himself up.
"That is why I am asking you to marry me. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" She laughed at him quietly and nodded,
"I would love to Chad." He put the beautiful ring on her finger and got up, kissing her on the lips with more love than before – although both of them thought that was impossible. He put his thumbs up to Tawni and she started to clap, everyone joined in and they both turned to face them. Sonny beamed and pulled Chad to Tawni and everyone else to show them the ring.
Sonny looked at Chad and grabbed his hand, she loved him so much and he loved her. She knew they were going to make it through. Recovering would be a long process and it would be hard at times but she knew she had all those she loved more than anything around her and they would keep her going through the good times and the bad. She knew that her and Chad would be forever and that even though things were hard they were going to make it through whatever life would chuck at them.
~~The End~~
Hope you enjoyed it!
