Chapter 1: 2 weeks of hell
(Sonic's P.O.V)
So here I was on my way to the train station. 2 weeks I have to spend 2 weeks with the 'Roses', why because my parents won a trip for 2 to Paris. So now I have to go live with people I never met except when I was 2, but I don't remember that. You know who could have taken care of me for 2 weeks my uncle Chuck, my friends, or myself.
But no my mom was like "You can't take of yourself your only 11". That still doesn't explain Chuck he always wants to spend time with me why can't I live with him for 2 weeks? Whatever I'll just stay in the basement and only come out for food when there all asleep.
We finally came up to the train station and now it was just a matter of time before I am stuck with my mom's old friend from High School with nothing to do.
"You Ready?" My mom asked as we were waiting for the train.
"Yes" I said
"Alright just… be on your best behavior" She said like I never act 'well behaved'.
"I will" I said annoyed. Of course I will be, I can't do anything wrong no see's me. I saw the train coming I looked back at my mom she looked so depressed. Why she gets to go on an amazing vacation while I'm stuck at Miss Rose place.
"Mom I'll be fine" I said reassuring.
"I know" She said with watery eyes and a huge smile.
I saw the train coming closer it was almost here. I turned back and gave my mom huge hug. The train slowly came to a stop, I took my backpack and luggage climbed aboard and waved goodbye to my mom she gave me a hearting smile but I could tell she was holding back tears.
"And please don't be mean to her daughter!" She yelled at me right as the doors closed. What?! Miss rose has a daughter why was I told this right before I got on the train? Probably since this makes it even worse not only is it someone I don't know but there will be a girl to, this just makes thing a thousand time worse!
I tried my hardest to hide my anger, which wasn't easy but I managed. I found a seat across from an old 60-70 years old couple the man Red Hedgehog with grey fur, and the woman a blue cat. I sat down and they continued the conversation about some guy 'Jeremy' saying he's dead. I quickly turned my attention to the outside looking out my window.
It was so nice bright sun, clear skies moving past things at just the right speed that you can still see things, but fast enough that this won't take forever.
I heard a man call me out he turned to see a Silver Fox asking for my ticket I quickly gave him mine and he left. Just then the old couple seemed to notice me.
"Hello" The man said in kind voice
"Hey" I said a bit nervously
"Are you alone?" the woman asked leaning forward.
"Yes I am" I said confidently.
They both looked at me in shock what have they never seen an 11 year old ride the train before?
"Y-you're alone?" The woman asked me
"Yes I'm alone" I said a little annoyed, what was so wrong with me being alone I rode the subway to school every day alone!
The couple looked at each other worried the man turned back to me still looking amazed.
"But you're so… young" He said
"I know" I said
"Does your mom know you're here?" The woman asked
"Yes she sent me here" I said
"By yourself" They said in unison. Ok now this is getting annoying if they ask why I'm alone I might lose it.
"Yes by myself" I said. I could see they can tell now I getting annoyed so they didn't say anything. I looked back out the window still beautiful, how long is this train ride? Dammit I forgot already what mom said 2 hours, 2 days. Maybe I should ask the old couple see if they know. Let's just hope they don't bring up me being alone.
"H-hey do you, know how long it will take to get to station square?" I ask a bit awkwardly.
"Yes it about 5 hour ride from here" the man says. 5 hours a man should I get some sleep I'll try wait what if I miss the stop. I can't go to sleep but this ride will be so boring. I could hear them whispering to each other but I couldn't make out any words. After about a minute the woman leaned closer to me.
"Listen kid were going to Station square as well… do you need any help when you get there?" The cat asked kindly
"No I'll be fine, someone's picking me up" I said
"Alright" She said.
I shouldn't have stayed up all night playing video games. I need sleep I could feel myself getting tired with every passing second. I was slowly closing my eyes but I kept forcing them back open.
"If you need sleep then go to sleep will wake you up when we get to station square" The man said smiling at me.
I smiled back at him and put my head down and I was out.
5 hours later
"Wake up kid" The man said handing me my stuff. I opened my eyes the man and woman stood waiting for me. I got up getting all my stuff and quickly got off the train.
I waited for the old couple to thank them but they never came out, 5 minutes went by and the train left they still didn't get off. Why?
Looked around for Miss Rose when, I felt a tap on my shoulder I turned around to see who it is. She was a tall pink Hedgehog wearing a very fancy dress, that had to be Miss Rose she looked just like she did from that picture I saw of her from when I was 2.
"Sonic?" She asked
"Yes" I said nodding
"Alright let's go" She said motioning toward the exit. I followed her but looked back for the old couple I still didn't see them.
We quickly left the station I kept looking around for that old couple but I never saw them where did they go?
The drive to her house was mostly quiet I wasn't trying to start any conversations and she only told me one thing. "After I drop you of I have a date, so you'll be home alone until Amy comes around 4:30" She said well that explained the dress.
"Alright" I said disinterested. I checked the time it was 3:36 I at least I have some time to myself.
We arrived at her house and she quickly showed me around. My room in the basement, unfinished walls a nice bed and a T.V. yup all I need. She was just about to leave when she came back down stairs.
"Sonic don't tell Amy about my… date" She said
"Ok" I said. That would be easy enough I will probably only say one word to her this whole trip. She smiled at me and quickly left. As soon a she was gone I laid on my bed thinking about all the things I could do to kill time. Sleep maybe, no they'll wake me up. I did bring a lot of movies, most of them I don't think they'll like at all.
One thing was for sure though this was going to be 2 weeks of hell.
Well tell me what you thought of this and have a good day.
