Okay, this is the last chapter. I'm sorry that I really rushed it, but this is the one story that has really stumped me and stressed me out, but I was determined to finish it.

Thanks to my good friend Quills-and-Wands for helping me with the ending with Sonny/Chad. I was stumped and she gave me the idea. Total credit to her :)

I would dedicate this chapter to her, but I personally think it's too crappy, so I'll wait and dedicate a better chapter of another story to her instead.


SONNY'S POV

I glanced around Starbucks, looking around for Chad. Suddenly I spotted him in a gray hoodie and faded jeans.

Yes! He was dressed down. Maybe then he would be the sweet Chad, the one that only I know exists.

I did actually fix my hair this time and put on some make up, but I dressed just as casually as he did.

"Hey Monroe," he flounced up to me.

"Hey," I said, a blush creeping upon my face. Great, give it away already Sonny! Sheesh!

I followed Chad to a nice quiet spot on the back patio, away from the other customers.

We kept our hoods on, trying not to conceal ourselves.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Without taking off my hoodie, I looked up, my eyes met with bright green ones. Then I realized who it was. Tyler.

Why now?

"What is it Tyler?" I huffed, annoyed.

"Oh, I just thought I'd stop by and say hi to my girl. I read on your bulletin that you'd be here."

Darn it! I didn't even think about that… stupid bulletin.

"Um, I'm gonna go get our drinks Chad," I spoke, trying to get away from this. What to do now?

CHAD'S POV

"So, um, you and Sonny are together? I asked the creepy guy.

"Yeah, do you have a problem with that?" he replied hastily.

"No, I just thought that Sonny could do better than you," I smirked, standing up to be face to face with him.

Before anything else was said, Sonny returned with two drinks; for her and myself.

Sorry dude, you don't get one.

"What's going on here?" she asked, feeling the tension in the air.

"This guy is trying to break us up," Tyler lied.

Man, he's more of a jerk than myself!

"Oh really?" Sonny asked in an angry tone. Great. She was going to believe this doofus.

"Actually, I wasn't," I spoke up, edging myself closer to Sonny. "I don't care who you date; as long as you're happy."

Okay, that was partially true. Sure I did want Sonny to be happy, but I wanted her to be happy with me. Not him.

"I just said that you could do better," I confessed.

"Well she's with me," Tyler interrupted, thrusting his arm around Sonny.

Boy was I jealous.

"Actually, I'm not," Sonny piped in. "Look Tyler, I know you were supposed to help me and that you fell deeper than intended, but I'm sorry. You come on too strong, and well, I have feelings for someone else."

"Who?" Tyler asked, now livid.

"I'd rather tell him first than you," Sonny said, yanking his arm from over her shoulder.

Who was this other guy she liked?

"Goodbye Tyler," she waved smarmily before sitting back down in her chair. He stood stunned for a moment, then stormed away.

"What a nut job," she sighed before talking a sip of her drink.

I took a sip of mine. "Hey, you remembered what I like," I said, taking another sip of the warm drink.

"Yeah, well, I pay attention. Look Chad, I really need to talk to you."

"I need to talk to you too."

"I know you're mad at me, even though I'm not really sure why-"

"Okay, I'll tell you," I interrupted. Sonny nodded for me to continue.

"The other day when you were talking to you friends about me and you said you would never like me, well I heard it all."

"Really? Chad, I'm really sorry but, why do you care?"

"Because I… well I like you. A lot."

"Really?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah, but it's okay that you don't feel the same way. I'll get over it," I responded nonchalantly, trying to hide my sadness.

"But I do feel the same way," she admitted.

"You do?" I asked, hopeful.

"Yes. That's why I wanted to meet with you."

"Then why did you say all that stuff before to your friends?"

"Because, I was in denial Chad."

"I know the feeling."

"So, what's up with that Tyler guy then?" I asked curiously.

"Well I'm embarrassed to say, but Tawni set us up. He's her cousin. She said that I should use him to make you jealous. It was all an act, but he ended up really liking me."

I couldn't believe she hatched a plan to make me jealous. I was appalled, but flattered at the same time.

"What?" she asked, breaking the silence.

"It just doesn't sound like you; that's all."

"I know, I didn't want to do it, but Tawni had already set it all up. She brought him here, changed my MySpace- everything. I wanted to tell you though because I'm not usually so immature."

"That's okay," I smiled sweetly, taking her hand.

"Sonny, I know that sometimes I can be a jerk- especially to you, but that's what I like about you. I can be nice, mean, charming, and yet, we're still… us. Deep down, you know the real me. You saw him when we were here last week, and I'm sorry that it's taken so long for you to see him again. I'll try to change for you- and that's saying a lot, because Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't change for anyone, but you're worth it."

"Chad, I know I can stubborn too, but there's no one I'd rather fight with more than you."

"I know," I replied coolly.

"How did you know?"

"I read your bulletin."

Sonny had walked to Starbucks, so I gave her a ride home. I was afraid things between us might be awkward, but they weren't. In fact, we were even more comfortable than before.

I walked her to the door, just as a gentleman should do.

"Well, I had a great time tonight," I spoke. God I sounded so cliché.

"Me too," she blushed. "So, um, are we together now?" she asked sweetly.

"Do you want to be?"

"Yeah," she answered. Now her face was burning red.

"Me too," I responded, cupping her face and pressing my lips to hers.

"See you tomorrow, girlfriend," I winked, before heading back to my car.

"Bye my boyfriend," she waved, giddily opening the door and stepping inside.

SONNY'S POV

I gently slid down the back of the door, dreamily thinking about Chad. I was so glad I got to see the inner Chad again- not just cocky CDC.

But I guess you have to learn to love every side of a guy. Especially if you're in love with a three-named jerk. And I was.


A/N- Blah, I know. The plot to me was good- especially with the idea my friend gave me, but I just didn't write it well. Sorry :)
