12. Russian Roulette

Chad Dylan Cooper stood on the concrete floor examining the gun in his hand. It was a small shot gun, he didn't know exactly what type or anything fancy like that, but he did know that it made a loud sound and that it did a lot of damage. He had seen its power first hand.

"Come on, man!' one of his "buddy's" said."I thought you were Hollywood's Bad Boy! Be a man! Don't you have any guts?" he screamed as he shoved Chad in the chest.

Chad stared into his eyes, He's drunk, he concluded, but the others aren't.

By "other's" he meant the six other guys standing around him, arms crossed, watching him closely. Almost all of them looked scary and big except for only one. He was a short guy with red hair and black glasses that looked like they had come straight out of a Harry Potter movie.

Honestly, they scared Chad. He felt uncomfortable near them, so much that he could never think straight with them around and just agreed with what they wanted. That's how he found himself in the position he was in.

They had all meet up and gone to a club, it was about four in the morning and they were in an old abandoned parking lot miles away from anywhere where anyone could hear them. This was their second game and they had already lost one, he was sprawled on the floor not even two feet away, his blood staining his highlighter blue hair, his name was Ricky. Chad best buddy. The guy that got him into this mess.

They played this stupid game once a year for the last three years, every year on the exact date that they had all met. Every year they lost another.

Chad normally didn't mind this game, he did not have much to live for, that was, until this last year. When he met Sonny Monroe.

"Come on, Chaddy, breath, calm down, whatever. Just pull the trigger so we can keep going and get out of here! I have a lady to get to!" another guy from the circle around him yelled. Chad took a deep breath and closed his eyes, thinking of the song Sonny had showed him the other day...

Take a breath, take it deep

"Calm yourself," he says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take the gun, and count to three

I'm sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself

He says, "Close your eyes, sometimes it helps."

And then I get a scary thought

That he's here means he's never lost

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes

I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

So many won't get the chance to say goodbye

But it's too late to think of the value of my life

You can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

Chad smiled wide and laughed, Goodbye, my Sonshine, I love you, he thought and pulled the trigger.

13. What A Waste

Nico and Grady chatted away as they waited by the kitchen door, they were guarding the room as instructed by Dakota. Finally, Dakota arrived followed by a glum Chad and Sonny. Nico raised an eyebrow as Grady glared at Chad, "What are you doing here, Pooper?"

Dakota shushed him, "You two can leave now," she dismissed them and waved her hand for them to move aside, they obeyed but turned as they left to watch.

Dakota motioned for them to walk into the room, they did so and she shut the door behind them, locking them in. Chad and Sonny looked to the other confused when an intercom from the ceiling came on, "Now, you two are in here because Zora and I have made a bet, so enjoy, you will be in here for the next five hours. There's a bathroom to your right and the entire kitchen is stocked."

Nothing else was said and Sonny huffed, "Well, what do you want to do for five hours?"

Chad shrugged, he knew exactly what he wanted to do with Sonny alone, but he wasn't going to tell her what he was thinking, "I don't know what you are going to do, but I'm getting something to eat, I didn't get to finish my lobster."

Sonny nodded, "That's a good idea, I didn't eat at all."

Chad walked over to the frig and opened it, "What do you want?"

Sonny raised an eyebrow, "You cook? Don't you have people to do that for you?"

Chad shook his head, "Sonny, Sonny, funny little Sonny. Don't you know by now that Chad Dylan Cooper has many talents? He can do anything."

Sonny rolled her eyes, "Sure, whatever you say, Cooper."

Chad nodded, "And don't forget it."

"Really, Chad? Really?"

"Really, Monroe."

"Well, fine."

"Fine."

"Good."

"Good."

"So are we good?"

"Sure."

Sonny ignored him and went to the pantry to look for something quick to eat. Meanwhile Chad was looking in the frig for ammo. Finally, he decided on a carton of eggs. He turned to see Sonny's back facing him, Perfect, he thought.

He crept a foot closer to her to ensure a better shot, and just as he was about to throw his egg at her butt, Sonny whirled around and threw an open bag of flour at him. Chad stood in shock for a moment and spat flour out of his mouth, "What the he-"

He didn't finish, Sonny grabbed the egg from his hand and cracked it on his head. Chad dashed to the refrigerator and opened it to grab the first thing he could get, which happened to be a bottle of syrup. He opened the bottle and turned around and squeezed the bottle as hard as he could. Sonny ran toward him, despite his new weapon and tackled him.

They hit the floor hard, but Chad continued to get as much syrup on her as possible, Sonny giggled. "Chad, stop!"

He laughed and put the bottle down, that was when he realized that she was still on top of him, he blushed and gently put his hands on her hips to raise her up and move her over so he could get up. He sat with his arms behind him, holding him up.

Sonny watched him, his hair that was wet from the egg yolk, his eyes that had flour on his eyelashes, but he was still god like in her eyes, she felt her stomach flip. She shook her head, she needs to stop this, he didn't like her, there was no chance he would love her. She had to stop kidding herself.

Chad ran a hand through his hair, only to pull back in disgust; he turned to Sonny to ask her for help to rinse his head under the sink when he saw her staring at him. He smirked, "Stunned by my beauty, are we?" he asked and she glared at him.

"You wish," she said and stood up. Change the subject, Sonny, she thought. "So, I wonder what Zora bet Dakota."

Chad shuddered, "I don't want to know. I still have nightmares from the cookie mess."

Sonny smiled, "Hey, we can make cookies!"

Chad melted with her smile, she looked giddy, like a child and he knew she could get him to do anything with that smile. Whoa, snap out of it, Chad, he mentally hit himself.

An hour later, they were snacking on their cookies.

"Great cookies, they're better than the last cookie I had," Chad said.

"You mean the one that chocked you? How was that a good cookie?" Sonny asked giggling.

Chad gave a half smile, "That's for me to know."

Sonny rolled her eyes, "Whatever, Chad."

After a minute of silence, Sonny spoke again, "I could have so taken you."

"Hm?"

"When we almost fought? I could have so taken you."

Chad wiped his hands on his jeans and stood up from his seat, "Sure, you could have."

Sonny stuffed the cookie in her mouth and drank from the milk in front of her, "Ok, fine. Let's go, Cooper." She walked in front of Chad.

He chuckled, "I'm not going to hit a girl."

Sonny punched his chest, it didn't really hurt, but he could definitely feel it. Chad sighed and grabbed Sonny hands in one of his hands. She made a growling noise, "Let go! You're not fighting fair!"

Chad used his other hand to tuck a loss strand of hair behind her ear. Sonny stared into his eyes then laid her head on his chest and started crying.

She honestly didn't know why she was crying, it just happened. Chad held her as she cried, rocking back and forth. Then the intercom came on and the doors opened, "You can leave now," Dakota said to them.

Sonny raised her head from Chad's chest and gave him a quick peck on the lips, "Thank you, Chad." And with that she left the room.

BANG!!

Chad groaned as he rubbed his head, he looked around and realized that he was in his house and that he had just dreamed of what he thought had happened. "Damn," he whispered. He got up and walked around to the bathroom and a note caught his attention.

Chad,

Thanks for the fun yesterday, I had fun, strangely. Sorry about the egg and flour.

Love, Sonny

P.S. That was a waste of syrup.
