A/N: Oh my gosh! It's over. I've loved writing this story, and especially loved hearing your feedback. You guys were so inspiring! :D Love you all.

If We Were A Movie

Sonny's POV

It's been a month since Chad became a Random. We've all had to adjust, of course, but it would seem that all has turned out for the best. Chad has made an effort to embrace the So Random! way of life, as we call it, but some changes have also taken place for us. For example, we all now get the same food as the cast of Mackenzie Falls. I'm not sure how Chad works his magic on Brenda, but it certainly works, and I'm not complaining. Nor are my castmates, obviously. They think it's the best part of Chad joining our show - or at least, that's what they say is their favorite part.

As for Chad himself, well, if you were to ask him what his favorite part of being a Random is, he might say the "opportunity that it has afforded him to explore career options for the future." But he would be lying. As reluctant as he was initially, he's begun to like So Random!. Of course, Chad has been receiving offers from other shows and movies once he announced that he was "exploring career options," so you never know how long he's going to be staying. His contract is only three months long, even though it can continue to be renewed indefinitely. But for now, I've decided to live in the present. I know that he won't be at Condor Studios forever, and neither will I. So we're making it last.

"Sonny?" Josh's voice startles me out of my musings as he pushes his mail cart into my dressing room. "Delivery for you." He holds out a large, yellow envelope, like the kind that my report cards used to come in.

"Thanks, Josh," I smile and take the package, weighing it in my hand. It's fairly lightweight, and I'm curious as to what's inside. There's definitely something hard. Josh nods and leaves me to open the envelope.

I unclasp the silver fastenings at the top and tip the envelope over, its contents spilling into my lap. It's a CD, along with a piece of paper. I unfold the paper first, only to see the words "Listen to the CD before reading this."

Grabbing the disc, I pop it into my CD player and turn up the volume, leaving the piece of paper on the envelope. Music starts to play, and the lyrics that come with it make me catch my breath. But it's not just the lyrics themselves. It's knowing the voice that's singing them.

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with every day

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

I know who it is before I even open the note. It's Tyler. Tyler, whom I haven't seen or heard from since I watched him get fired. A few tears running down my cheeks, I slowly unfold the paper once more as the music comes to an end. He's written the message in his own handwriting, which somehow serves to make it more meaningful.

To Sonny,

I'm pretty sure you know who this is. And if you don't, well, you'll know soon enough. Look, I know I haven't heard from you in awhile, and vice versa. I'm sorry about that. I had to clear my head for a little while, and figure out what I was doing with my life. And you know what? I realized that I haven't really done much. Nor have I wanted to. I wanted fame, and fortune, and everything a guy could ask for. So in order to get that, I did a lot of things I'm not proud of. And you should know that I'm really sorry for all the pain and drama that I've made you experience. I've decided to leave my past behind, and to create a new life for myself. And I have to tell you, it wouldn't have happened without you. So I wrote you this song. Perhaps you don't like me. I can understand that. Perhaps you do like me. Only someone like you could. But either way, you should know that you're my reason. The reason for me to change who I used to be. The reason for me to start over new. The reason for all that I do. The reason is you.

Tyler

"Sonny?" For the second time today, someone walks in and surprises me, but it's not Josh this time. It's Chad. He immediately catches sight of the paper in my hands and the tears on my cheeks, and he rushes over to hug me.

"It's not Mandy, is it? She's stopped calling for the past couple days, I hope she hasn't decided to send you hate letters instead," he asks worriedly. I shake my head with a small smile, holding up the note.

"No. It's Tyler." Without another word, I walk over to the CD player and play the song again. Chad stands frozen in his spot the entire time the music is playing.

"Sunshine?" He finally moves, speaking as though something is lodged in his throat. "Are you..."

"No," I tell Chad simply, grinning. I know his present fear - that I'll leave him. "No. I'm staying right here with you. But that isn't going to stop me from sending Tyler a friendly and grateful reply, is it?" I give Chad a wry smile, and he relaxes.

"No, I guess not. But remember, even if you are his reason, you're still my everything." All of his cocky self-assurance seems to have come flooding back.

"Your everything, Chad?" I lift a skeptical eyebrow as he nears me, putting his hands on my waist.

"Mhm. You're my sunshine." He kisses my forehead. "You're my laughter." He kisses my left cheek. "You're my perfection." He kisses my right cheek. "You're my Sonny." Finally, he kisses me on the lips. When Chad pulls away, he's smiling brightly. "You're mine."

"And you are mine," I reply, kissing him in return. We link hands and walk out of the dressing room, Tyler's note in my pocket and Mandy's messages in his cell phone, leaving behind the past and looking to the future.

A/N: I forgot to mention, I don't own "The Reason," which is a song by Hoobastank. I heard it for the first time in awhile a few weeks ago, and I knew immediately that I had to use it in this story. It just seems to fit so well. That note of Tyler's, I've been wanting to write it for ages. Anyways, I hope you liked the story. I know the ending is super cheesy – I somewhat stole it from the end scene of "Pride and Prejudice," the 2005 movie version. But what can I say? I wanted to finish with fluff. I hope you all enjoyed this story. Please leave me a review if you did! Thank you.
