A/N: Hey guys! Kinda a new everything for me here. One of my friends had this account before, but I'm totally new to fanfiction. I have read a lot of Jonas fanfics though, back in'08. Here I am, returning, with Defying Gravity. I'm not sure if I should continue it, so tell me if I should or shouldn't by reviewing. By the way, if I write more, it won't be in the past; it'll skip to the present. THAAAANKS! :D –Love, Jay
p.s. The song that inspired the title of this story is Defying Gravity, (which i don't own) covered by glee. Search it up on youtube! Listen to it, the story will make more sense. Heels over Head by Boys Like Girls was also referenced to in the chapter. So listen to both those songs and read! Yaaayy :D
Disclaimer: Don't own anything you recognize, including Sonny with a Chance and the songs and yeah. :D
Third Person POV
Appleton, Wisconsin: Sonny is 7, Chad is 8.
"Chad!" Sonny wailed. "Chad, where are you!" Sonny started chewing on her fingernails, her eyes wide and her skin prickling with goosebumps. She and Chad and some other children were playing hide-and-seek in their favorite park, and the game had ended. He was supposed to walk her home.
That's when she felt fingers on the side of her neck, and she screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH GO AWAY I HAVE A PET DRAGON." Sonny screeched, and unwillingly turned around. She found Chad right behind her with a mischievous grin plastered on his face.
He began laughing and fell on the ground, cracking up. "That was hilarious! You shoulda seen your face Sonny," Chad controlled himself when he saw that Sonny wasn't smiling.
"Sonny, I'm sorry, I just thought it'd be funny." He went over to her, and pulled her gently by her little fingers, and sat her on the grass next to him. The bright Wisconsin sun was nearly setting, signaling that the long summer day was done.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't know I would scare you like that." Chad gently stroked Sonny's hair, something he had learned over the years as a Sonny-calming-tactic.
"It's okay, Chad. You just really frightened me! I thought you'd left me in the park all alone. I was so scared, because I thought I'd be stuck here all night. And I'm scared of owls, you know." She pulled her arms over her chest matter-of-factly, and looked up into Chad's miraculous, glimmering blue eyes.
Chad comfortingly squeezed Sonny's soft little hand, and he made eye contact with her. "Sonny, remember that I will never, ever, leave you alone. Ever. I wouldn't do anything like that to make you hurt. You're my best friend. Best friends are always there for each other."
Sonny smiled all of a sudden, and stuck out her pinky. "Do you promise Chad? Do you pinky promise that?"
"Of course I do." They interlocked pinkies, and walked off to their houses together, smiling and chatting away, completely oblivious of the significance of the promise they'd just made.
Sonny's POV
Appleton, Wisconsin: Sonny is 14, Chad is 15
Sprawled on my bed, I had my guitar out and was just about, strumming a few notes, trying to get some inspiration. I was trying to write a special song for mine and Chad's 6 month anniversary. Yep, I was going out with my best friend. Was that hard to believe? Oh well. I liked him a lot.
He was the best thing that'd ever happened to me, since my parents got divorced. I think I loved him. I don't know what I'd do with my life if he weren't around.
Being around Chad just gave me an amazing feeling. I could do anything with him, and tell him anything and everything, knowing I wouldn't be judged.
He was probably the sweetest guy to walk Planet Earth, I'm sure. Every time I looked into those mesmerizing eyes of his, I just felt a whole new round of butterflies flutter through me. It was like I'd just met him all over again, even though I had known Chad since I was a baby. And I knew he'd always be there for me; we'd promised that when we were 7. PINKY promised; those were legit.
Recently, Chad had been kinda stressed about what, I don't know. He seemed a bit tense all the time, and I really hoped this song I was writing him would get him to feel better. He hadn't asked me to come over in more than a week, because he had some kind of project group thing he was working on.
Chad, was the one who was always working to become an actor, attending workshops, classes, interning, and so much more. He really wanted to become small-town famous. I don't what I would do if he became a famous actor all of a sudden and left. But he wouldn't, because Chad always kept his promises. And he was still so young anyways.
That's when I heard the doorbell ring, and at the same time saw a scrawny kid running away through my curtain. Hmm. Ding-dong-ditchers? Wisconsin had a lot of those. I took my time getting to the door, grabbing a snack from the kitchen along the way. My mom was out grocery shopping, therefore the lack of snacks, I noticed. I opened the door, and found myself staring at a bouquet of roses in front of me.
I excitedly picked them up, assuming Chad had gotten someone to deliver a special message to me. Maybe he was inviting me to dinner? I mean who else would send me flowers besides him? I sniffed the roses, and went inside the house, closing the door behind me. For a 15 year old, Chad was a real gentleman.
I noticed that the flowers were my favorite colors, light pink and magenta. I searched for a note, and instead found an envelope. This must be gooooood.
I delicately lifted the business-type envelope flap up, and found a letter.
Dear Sonny Munroe,
This is going to be a long, odd letter so just hang tight-Honestly, how long have we known each other for? 13 years? I think so. And if I may say, each and every one of those years were amazing because you were there to share them with me. I'm being honest here :). When we were younger, I could never stand the thought of you getting hurt; I just couldn't. I felt like I had to protect you all the time, like I was like your guardian angel or something. It is like some kind of obligation for me or something. That was how much I cared, and still care about you. Not to mention Sonny, you're kind of a klutz. Kidding, but not really. You should be careful when you walk, because there might be a big pile of air in front of you. It's okay, you're still 've always supported me through the thick and thin; you've been there to tell me it was alright and you've always tried to come to all my football games. You even handled me when I would be my weirdest, and you never, ever judged me. I love that about you. Basically, you're my best friend. And the best girlfriend I've ever had. You're sweet, smart, funny, caring, and really pretty. You always make me laugh; and I'm glad we have the same sense of humor because you've always helped break the ice. Thanks for helpin' me out, all those awkward times. I used to stare at you in third grade when you would comb your long brown hair, which I always just wanted to touch and see if it was soft like snow. I'm serious, that's how it looked! Whenever you've asked me if you looked okay, I would just look at you in awe and think 'Dang, why can't she just realize she's amazing just the way she is?' When we started going out, god, that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I think I literally felt magic. And also, most importantly, you've supported my love for acting like I've supported your love for music. You've encouraged me to persevere and follow my dreams. You're the reason why I'm heading off to California right now, with an acting job. I got this lead for this amazing movie. I guess all the hard work paid off huh? Without you Sonny, I wouldn't be here, MOVING out to L.A. ready to have a blast and kick of my career. I just wish my best friend were here to share this experience with me. I'm really sorry I hid it from you, because I didn't want you to hurt. I thought it'd be better this way. Yes, that's why I didn't invite you over this week because of all moving bags and boxes and stuff, but you understand right? My parents are all out to support my career. They're really proud, and it's all just so great. I'm so blessed. This is HUUUUGE, Sonny! I promise I'll visit Appleton one day, and we can laugh and sit on our bench in that park of ours, and tell jokes, until the sun sets. I'll miss you a lot, Sonny. More than you'll ever know. Thanks for the memories.
Until we meet again,
Chad.
I stared at the letter, searching frantically for a "Just Kidding I'm down the street, come over now" on the paper, but I couldn't find one anywhere. I couldn't believe this. I heard the front door close, as my mom entered, but I barely acknowledged it. I ran out the door barefoot, and dashed towards Chad's house. I hadn't been down his street in more than a week.
I hadn't seen any moving vans or boxes, because I was too busy 'in love' to even care about my surroundings. I was even writing a stupid love song for him. Chad wasn't stressed; he was freaking lying to my face for the past..who knows how long! He'd known this was happening, and kept it all from me
As I walked up his front path, I was faced with a 'for sale' in the front yard. Chad was really gone, and probably 100,000 miles away.
I stared at the letter, still clutched in my hands, and saw the word 'promise' towards the end. I nearly spat when I read it. Chad had already broken one promise; he'd said he'd never do anything to hurt me, and he'd never leave me. I was apparently his best friend; and he'd left me stranded here, with nothing but the ghost of what we used to be. When a person broke one promise, it didn't take too long to break the rest.
I think I started sobbing then, and I felt my mom's protective hands around me. How had she come here?
We stood there, hugging in the middle of a random street in a small Wisconsin town. She began stroking my hair, and I immediately thought of the times when Chad had stroked my hair to calm me down. I quickly erased the memory from my mind. We were basically broken up. At that moment, I knew things would never be the same again. I needed to try my best to bring things back to the normal I remembered.
That was going to be difficult.
