My second update! I can't wait for this story to be a pretty and what not. I've noticed that it is my most popular story. Actually, about 3 months ago, I was going to delete this or discontinue it but I couldn't. You guys are lucky for my good thinking. Anyways, ENJOY!
Also, to only make it fair, I change the Point of View every chapter. I just find it resonable for some odd reason.
The Ugly Truth
(Sonic's P.O.V)
3 months later...
I pressed charges on him. He pressed charges on me. I guess we're even. I still can't believe it's been 3 months since that incident. I'm starting to show a lot to. You can tell I'm pregnant now. I get the stare down in public knowing that every ones world hero is pregnant and his boy friend, Shadow the Hedgehog, dumped his ass. Oh yes, I here about it all the time now. I'm just wondering what the court is going to say about this.
Amy Rose has been taking care of me. She visits every day and she makes dinner for the both of us. I don't have to deal with Shadows shit anymore since he's moved away with Rouge. I hate talking about it. I only discuss things with Amy now. Tails isn't around much anymore because he got injured in a plane crash real bad. I visited him last month and he's finally walking on his own again. Only if I were like him and people wouldn't walk over me. I wouldn't be 6 feet under right now. But right now, Amy is the only person I can trust.
I have a court order today because we both pressed charges on each other [as I already stated]. He gave me marks and bruises and I threw broken glass and picture frames at him, cutting his arm and shoulder blade open. I don't even want to see him. I told him to never talk to me again. Never again. This was probably the only exception.
I arrived at the court house with Amy around 7 p.m. Since she was a lawyer, she was mine. Rouge was obviously going to be there. I feel that Rouge knew it was wrong what Shadow did but she stayed with him anyways. Rouge apologized. She visits me some days and I don't mind. Shadow doesn't want her around though. She only stops by when he's not home.
I walked in with Amy and everyone gave me the stare down. I felt really uncomfortable as usual. They were probably starring at my stomach.
Amy took my arm and whispered "Just ignore them."
I nodded and kept on walking. I stood up front and Shadow didn't even look at me. I only took a quick glance. Rouge gave me a small smile and waved and I did the same back.
"All Rise!"
We stood up and I just blocked out everything he was saying. I honestly didn't care what he was saying. I just wanted to get this over with. "You may be seated."
We all sat down. The judge looked over at Amy "Ms. Rose. If you would be so kind to go first."
"My pleasure."
Amy stood up and faced the judge, her heels clicking every time she took steps. She looked over in Shadow's direction and sneered, Shadow giving her a blank look. She stood in front of eveyone and grinned.
"3 months ago, my defendant was torn apart in his own home. He was bruised up, hit, and almost punched." She stood and faced to crowd "The best part? He was carrying a child. He was left by a cheater, a liar, and was left to raise a soon to born child on his own."
Shadow mumbled "Bull shit" and crossed his arms.
Amy continued on. "As a friend and his lawyer, this shouldn't have happened no matter how mad or how angry they were at each other, and for the fact that he was even getting hit, is still so oblivious in my mind. I'm done thank you for your time." She nodded and sat back down. The judge look down at his papers and said.
"My pleasure Ms. Rose." Amy sat down next to me and looked at me. Things were going to get ugly. I could feel it.
The Jury was discussing and I started to get nervous. Amy noticed this and looked at me again.
"Are you okay? Here, let me take your scarf. You look a little hot."
"No... I'm just nervous."
She held my arm. "Don't be."
I nodded and looked back at the crowd. My eyes widened when I seen my brother and sister, Sonia and Manic. Manic winked at me and Sonia smiled. I nodded and smiled a little. The judge looked over at Amy and gave her a questionable look.
"Ms. Rose, do you have any evidence or proof that he was actually hit?"
"Yes your honor, I do."
Amy picked up a folder and in it was a few pictures of my bruised neck and chest. She walked up and gave the photos to the judge. He reviewed them over and then passed them over to the cop to give them to jury. He nodded and Amy went back to her seat.
"It's very clear to me that he was indeed abused, but, we still have another side of the story to discuss."
Amy shook her head in disbelief that they were even continuing. I was upset and so was she so I held her hand to comfort her. She put a hand over the hands we were holding and whispered. "Don't worry this will be settled."
The judge looked over at Shadow and then his lawyer.
"Ms. Jewel?"
"My pleasure."
She got up and I would've recognized her from a mile away. She used to be one of my best friends, until I started dating Shadow. Apparently, she liked him to so she stopped talking to me. I'm shocked she's not holding a grudge against Rouge. She's probably moved on. I should have known Shadow would do that to me. She had black heels on and a short light blue ruffled dress on that went to her thighs. Her long black hair was pulled back and her bangs were pinned to the side and back creating a bump. Her black and white fur was combed to perfection and she had beautiful blue eyes. She was still flawless as always.
"3 months ago, my victim was accused of cheating, and he was. His ex decided that to take it out on him in an unhealthy manor, scaring the defendant up his arm and kicked him out leaving him with no place to go. Though the defendant did have one place to go which was with the girl he was cheating with, he respected Sonic's request and left him alone. I don't feel the Shadow did anything wrong to offend Sonic at all."
Amy stood up right away and yelled at her. "Are you serious! My defendant was hit, abused, and he was pregnant! And you want to sit there and say that he did nothing wrong at all!?"
"I'm sorry, my defendant wasn't the one who threw broken glass and had no where to live!"
"His girlfriend was right next door!"
This caused and up-rise and the judge slammed his gavel (?) down. "Order in the court!"
Every one respected his request and they were silent. Amy and Jewel glared at each other. The judge looked at both of them and stated, "One more altercation and you're both out of here! I would actually like to ask Shadow a few questions." Shadow folded his arms and had a blank expression on his face. What a way to please him.
"How long was the relationship between you and Sonic?"
"3 years."
"When's the last time you have seen him?"
"3 months."
I could tell he didn't want to answer these questions. He's just being the stuck up little bitch he always has been.
"Do you have a relationship with any one now?"
"Yes."
"May you tell me who?"
"Her name is Rouge the Bat."
Rouge blushed and got nervous when the whole crowd starred at her.
"What relationship do you have with her now engaged or-"
"Engaged."
My eyes widened and Amy gasped. Rouge got even more nervous. Sonia and Manic looked pissed to.
"Now. How long have you been engaged to her?"
He hesitated to answer at first but answered moments after. "4 months."
I stood up and I was pissed. He didn't even propose to me! "Are you fucking kidding me!? You were engaged when you were dating me!? You have a fucking child on the way and you want to sit there and propose to another woman!? You didn't even propose to me!"
Shadow stood up causing a whole conflict to start. "It's none of your fucking business! We're done! Finished! Why would you even care!?"
"I care because of all the shit I've been through!"
"What shit!? You kicked me out and burned all of my stuff! And you want to sit there and say you've got It bad!?"
"I can't even believe your trying to feel sorry for your self! I sleep alone, walk alone, I went countless days with morning sickness, unbearable stomach pains, and craving and guess who wasn't there!? Your shitty ass! I had to do all of that shit on my own! If it wasn't for Amy, I would have lost everything!"
We caused the whole court to get loud.
"Order in the court!"
I'm shocked he didn't shout that sooner. He was pissed so we stopped fighting.
The judge looked at me and stated "Well, since it looks like you need help with your child ,Sonic, I recommend Shadow staying with you and helping you out until your child is born."
Shadow spoke up right away. "Absolutely not!"
I yelled at Shadow again "Dammit! Think of the sake of your kid, jeez. And I don't even want him near me. I can handle this on my own. Amy rose helps me half the time anyways. I forbid him to even step near me!"
"Okay, I respect your request."
I nodded and we both sat down. Shadow was angry and I honestly didn't give a shit. The judge seemed stressed and could read our faces easily.
The judge huffed and adjusted his glasses. "It's clear to me now who has to pay charges, the jury just has to discuss and agree with me." Everything went silent. They stopped discussing and the judge looked up "Sonic the Hedgehog, you are pronounced, not guilty. I'm sorry Shadow, you will have to pay the price. Court dismissed."
Amy and I stood up and hugged each other. I closed my eyes and let a tear out knowing it was all over. Amy petted my quills.
"I told you ,Sonic, stop crying. It's okay"
Amy looked at Shadow and he shook his head. He mumbled "Bull shit" and Shadow glared at Amy. She smirked and stuck up the middle finger at him when no one was looking. He walked out holding Rouge's hand, obviously to piss people off and test them. Manic and Sonia came up to me and hugged me after Amy let go of me. Manic threw his hands in his pockets and smirked
"How you doing bro?"
"I feel so releaved."
Sonia spoke up "Well you should. I have a little niece or nephew on the way."
She laughed and Amy stood beside me "Hey Sonia, Manic."
They both said "Hey" in unison.
Amy turned her head towards me "You wanna' go now?"
"Sure. Hey, I'll call you guys later."
Manic winked and said "No problem bro. See ya'."
Sonia hugged him "See you later. Take care."
Amy and I walked out together and walked up to her white Saturn. Sonic starred wide eyed at the car and seen the passenger side window busted. Amy's mouth dropped open and she yelled, "What the hell happened to my car!?"
I noticed a small note underneath the wind shield wiper and took it out. It read 'Now we're even in payments. Good luck :)' signed Shadow.
"What the fuck!" I ripped up the note and huffed "Amy just get in the car. I'll replace it."
"You don't have to."
"I am..."
We got in and drove away, it being a little tense in the air.
When we got home, it was at least 9:30 p.m. I was tired and worn out. This child took all my energy. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes until I heard the door creak open.
"Sonic?"
I hesitated to answer but I couldn't ignore her. She's done a lot for me.
"Hm?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
She walked over and I felt her sit on the bed.
I sat up and looked at her. "Thank you for everything ,Amy."
"It's nothing ,Sonic."
She blushed and smiled. I put my head down and huffed.
"You know, Amy, I never knew why I doubted you all those years. I feel like a complete jack ass for doing that to you and breaking your heart. But what I really didn't understand is how you never lost faith in me, because if you did, I would be a screwed up son-of-a bitch right now."
"I couldn't lose faith though. There was that little voice in my mind telling me that you would need me one day and here I am."
We both laughed and Amy looked at me. "So what do you think it is?"
"What?"
"The baby silly!"
"Oh yeah... well I'm hoping it's a girl, and if it's a girl, I'm going to name her after you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Amelia the Hedgehog. How does that sound."
"Wonderful."
We both laughed and Amy got up. "I'm going to leave now okay?"
"Well ,Amy, you could always stay here."
"Oh ,Sonic, I could never-"
"No, you can stay."
"Fine. But you don't have guest room."
"Then sleep with me."
She blushed and laughed at me "Ah... okay."
Awkward. She crawled into bed with me and got under the covers. I hugged her close to me knowing that this was the first time in months that someone has been with me. It felt so warm. She embraced me back and I fell a sleep knowing I wasn't alone.
The next morning I woke up and Amy wasn't with me I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes trying to un-blur my vision. I smelled coffee and I didn't even notice the note on the kitchen table.
'Sorry for leaving so soon. Work called me in and I needed to run some earings. I'll call you later. Oh, and check the news paper...' signed, Amy Rose.
There was a small heart near her name and I looked overat the news paper sitting on the counter . On the first page it read 'ALTERCATION AT THE COURT HOUSE' in bold letters. It showed a picture of Shadow and I fighting and a whole description on how 'we got in to it.' Fuck them. I sat down and put a hand over my stomach and smiled.
"Yeah, you think there mean to, don't you?"
I laughed and ignored the bad things and enjoyed the rest of my days wild and free, when I could at least. Also, maybe someone new to love.
TBC...
