:) Super-long finale for my good readers! Yes, it's the finale! Let's read it and see what happens.
DC: Oh, so you know, I don't own SWAC. I asked my Dad the other day if he could get it for me as a late birthday present and he said no, so yeah. Oh, and I also don't own the Sterling Knight song that will be mentioned later on. Which? Not gonna tell ya...
Chapter 20-Realisation
Chad's POV
I go to bed, nothing has happened all night. Guess Portlyn was wrong. Or…uh-oh. She meant I was gonna have another one of those dreams…no, it can't be that…can it?
"SONNY!"
I blurry cry of her name rings through my head, and I try to wake up, but I can't. I'm stuck in another one of these dreams. Man, I wonder if Sonny's a witch. Maybe they're all witches, trying to scare the…greatest actor of his generation…
?
THE GREATEST ACTOR OF HIS GENERATION?
I don't have anymore time to ponder on this as a room comes into view, and I suddenly see a stage. Sonny's on top of a harness, a rope around her waist. I see the cast of Chad's show and Chad himself walk in, and I scowl. I don't wanna see this…I just don't.
I gulp as I hear a snap and I see the rope snap a little, and Sonny starts to dangle from an even thinner rope.
Chad notices and runs towards the stage. "Sonny!" He yells, "Just hold tight, I'll be there in a sec!"
Too late. Sonny falls to the floor, screaming. Then…thud.
"Sonny!" Chad yells, running over to where she lies, "Oh God, Sonny, please! C'mon, wake up!" He shakes her repeatedly, but she won't wake up. Didn't Sonny tell me about this? No…no she couldn't have.
I blink. I'm in a hospital. I see where Sonny lies in a bed, Chad by her side, tears falling down his face.
"Hey, Sonny," He says, "It's me again. Um, so, I just wanted you to know, I haven't been working for the last few days. The Falls can go on without me."
The Falls? As in…Mackenzie Falls?
"Well, I'm sorry about everything…it's been a whole week, I'm running out of things to say. Just…" He sighs, "…Please get better."
He leans in and kisses her on the lips, and I'm sure I feel a tear in my eye. I blink it away.
"SONNY!"
"Agh!" I wake up, jump, and look around. Where'd Sonny go? What's going on?
Everything that happened…Mackenzie Falls, So Random, when Sonny fell. All those people that she brought to my house earlier were there. Portlyn was in an outfit like mine. And then what I thought right at the beginning, 'The Greatest Actor Of His Generation…then it hits me.
Sonny…was telling the truth…the whole time, and I didn't believe her. I need to talk to her…now.
I see my guitar and realise exactly how I'll do it…
Sonny's POV
I wake up, tear stains down my face, my hair messed up around my face. I head through to the front room. Mom's at work, and Zora's at a friend's. It's Saturday, so I guess it's OK that I look like this. It's not like anyone's gonna see me, especially Chad.
I suddenly hear a familiar sound of a guitar from opposite the door. A G chord, then a D. I smile and my heart flips over when I hear the voice behind the door sing my favourite Sterling Knight song…
Can't blame you, for thinking,
That you never really knew me at all.
I tried to, deny you,
But nothing ever made me feel so wrong.
I thought I was protecting you,
From everything that I go through,
But I know that we got lost along the way.
Here I am
with all my heart I hope you understand
I hope you understand
I know I let you down, but I'm never,
Gonna make that mistake again.
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just know that I'm sorry,
I never wanted to make you feel so small.
A story is just beginning but let the truth break down these walls, oh yeah
And every time I think of you,
I think of how you pushed me through
And shown me how much better I could be.
Here I am
with all my heart I hope you understand
I know I let you down, but I'm never,
Gonna make that mistake again.
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me yeah
I open the door, to where Chad's stood with his guitar, playing. He smiles when he sees me, but continues playing.
You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that every day
You say what no one else will say
you know exactly how to get to me you
Know It's what I need
It's what I need yeah
Here I am with
All my heart I hope you
Understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never
Gonna make that mistake again
You brought me
Closer to who I really am
So come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
He plays the final chord, tears in both our eyes, and he smiles at me.
"You were telling me the truth, weren't you?" He asks.
"You remember it all?"
He shakes his head, "No. But I had a dream, and it showed me everything. Well, just about."
He puts down the guitar, hugs me, holds me tight, and I smile.
"This…famous Chad Dylan Cooper…he's special to you, isn't he?"
"Yes," I say, and he frowns.
"I see." He says, "Well, don't let me hold you back."
I laugh, "Chad, he is you, you know?"
He laughs, "Not really…"
"Yes, he is," I say, "He's in there, somewhere. All we've gotta do is bring him out, and maybe I can go home."
Chad smiles, "How do we do that?"
I shrug, "I don't know. What do you think?"
He grins, "Well, how about this…?"
He leans in close and kisses me, and I fall in love all over again. This is what I've missed – the kiss of Chad Dylan Cooper.
I pull away, smiling, and frown when I see Chad's face. He looks upset, confused. He blinks.
"Sonny?" He says, "What's going on? What are we doing? …Wait…" He smiles, "Sonny? You're…kissing me?"
I smile. "Chad!" I hug him, and he laughs.
"Sonny, whoa, is everything OK?"
"Yeah," I say, "Its fine."
He smiles, before his smile fades, "Wait…" He says.
"What?"
"You…you were in a coma, and the hospital…what the heck is going on?"
I laugh, "It's a long story. I'm just…" I smile, "…Happy to see you again. I've missed you."
He blinks, smiles, "You have?" I nod, "I thought you hated me."
"Not anymore." I say, "I realised the Chad Dylan Cooper I have is the Chad Dylan Cooper I want."
He grins, "You sure? I'm a jerk."
"True," I say, "But you're a good jerk. And it's the good jerks I like."
He laughs, "You sure?"
"Chad," I smile, "You were great, as a normal guy. But…it hurt you. That Chad Dylan Cooper got hurt bad. I couldn't let that go on any longer."
He frowns, "So…you preferred this normal guy? Because if you want, I can become him. Or at least, I can try…"
"No!" I yell, and he looks confused. "I love you, Chad," I say, "Just the way you are, you're perfect."
He smiles, "Same to you, Munroe."
I grin, before feeling a little dizzy.
"Sonny?" He asks, worried, "You OK?"
"Yeah…" I say, before collapsing into his arms.
Then…
…beep-beep-beep…
I blink, once, twice, before my eyes rest on a pair of piercing blue eyes looking down at me. The lips that belong to the eyes smile the moment they see me.
"Hey," He says, "I knew you'd wake up…"
"Chad!" I lean up, hugging him tight, and he laughs.
"Sonny!" He says, "Why are you so excited to see me?"
I smile, a single tear of joy rolling down my face, "I just…missed you."
He laughs a little, "You…missed me?"
I nod, and he smiles wider.
"And, you're not joking with me?"
"I'd never want to do that." I say.
He feels my head, hesitantly, "Are you sure you're OK?"
I smile, "Of course I am…I have you."
He still looks confused, "You sure?"
I smile, "Want me to prove it?"
He nods, and immediately a pair of lips are forced onto his, and I wrap my arms around him. I open my eyes for a short moment to see his eyes wide, before a look of happiness shows up on them and replaces the confusion.
I pull away, and he's smiling.
"That enough proof?"
He nods, breathless. He takes a deep breath, before saying, "So, you forgive me? For the recount?"
I nod, and he grins.
"Well, then, that's all I need to hear. Will you go out with me…again?"
I grin, wrapping my arms around him, "Why would I not?"
