Author's Note: Yay, so it seems that this story can fend for itself in the fanfiction world. That's really good. So the show must go on I presume. As for the story being rated M; I don't know. I am not planning on taking any gore scenes passed the first chapter, however, I will see to it that it stays rated T from this part on. If anyone feels it should be rated M from this point on, feel free to tell me and I will see to it that the ratings are changed. Friendly reminder, the story is written in Sonic's POV. Thank you for your reviews.

I plan on updating all my current stories within a week's time. So every week they should be updated by one chapter, both good/bad exceptions can happen : / Update timings may shift depending on which story I update first.

Disclaimer: I don't own SEGA related characters or quotes written in the chapters.

Chapter 2

"You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your Rose."

I wrapped my arm around her and held her tight. She was crying and no matter what I could ever say, she was guilty. I don't feel that she's guilty for this, I really don't. But how can I say, Hey don't worry Ames, it's not your fault that you should've ran when I said it! Hehehe. No, that could never work. Amy gets really sensitive to my health. I tightened my grip on her before whispering, "Please don't beat yourself up for this." I buried my nose in her head. There was no way in hell she was going to listen to me. I felt something tear us apart as Tails tore my hand away from my face.

"Oh my god." He blurted out. His eyes were filled with horror, is it really that bad? I covered my eye again. By this time my brain went numb, so I was capable of functioning the simple tasks of speaking and simple movements. "What happened?"

"I piece of debris hit my eye." I answered. We'll just leave it at that. I glanced over at Amy, who sat quietly with her gaze down at the grass below her. Amy...Knuckles tried to comfort her but she didn't respond to a thing he said or did.

"We need to get you medical attention quick." Tails said, examining the eye once more. Tails ran back to the plane to bring give me basic medical attention. I just kept my eye on her, so broken. Tails returned all too quick and placed a white towel to my eye. Finally, the muscles in my left arm were beginning to get sore for keeping them up so long. When I put my arm down for rest, my right eye took quick noticed of how soaked my glove was. It was a heavy dark red. I have never seen my blood so vivid before, I don't ever recall bleeding this hard, ever. Knuckles had to even look away for a second to regain his composure. I was just about to open my mouth to joke with him until, OUCH! I retracted my head from Tails' grasp. "Sonic, you still have something in there!"

"Yeah, it's probably my eye!" I retorted, whatever he touched brought forth a typhoon of my blood out. Something must've been stuck in there, but can't we wait till I go to a hospital? I mean, jeez, they have anesthesia to put me under.

"Please Sonic." He pleaded. I sighed, how can I not let him help me? I uncovered my eye and sat extremely still so he can examine the shard left. And there the pain was again. This time I kept silent, until it became greater. I could feel the urge to scream tickle my throat, but I kept still. My legs started to tremble, this really hurt. I felt a hand clamp on to mine. I opened my right eye to meet Amy. She held tight onto my hand with hers. I tightened my grip on her hand as Tails used whatever tool he had out of the medical box he took from his plane. It didn't even subside a bit. I grinded my teeth down raw before I gave off another soft groan. I'm strong, this is nothing! I can hold it in. I looked at Amy again, to see her face streaming with tears. I begin to call out her name, "Am-" I yell out in pain. I butchered her name into a scream of terror, and it just got worse. I couldn't hold anything in anymore. I dug my gloved nails into the ground beneath me and almost crushed Amy's hand with my other hand. I'm sorry Amy. Only more pain followed from there, and then nothing.

I must've blacked out, because I was already in the hospital! I could tell from the stench of antiseptics, bleach and latex gloves. Hospitals always drop my moods to an all time low, even though I know they exist to help, kind of like me. At least I wasn't in any pain. I tried to open my eyes, but only succeeded in seeing partially, go figure. I gave my gaze a second to clear its fluster until I was completely capable of counting the ceiling tiles without any eye straining. Now that I can see, I survey my surroundings on my right side; a curtain, a small movable desk with a telephone, a chair and a pitcher. I tried to look over with my right eye, but could only go so far as seeing the corner of what could be a window. I groaned to wake myself up. My ears pick up shifting and movement on my left, boy I would've never knew someone was there. "Sonic?" I heard a female voice, I knew it was Amy, but I turn my head to make sure. Bingo.

She only looked at me momentarily before diverting her gaze over to something obviously with no importance. I am hurt! Pay attention to me! "Hey." My voice cracked terribly. I gave her a small smile to assure her I am doing well.

"How does your eye feel?" She asked.

"Hmm, I feel a buzz, but it doesn't hurt." I do feel a buzz, kind of like when your foot falls asleep. I'm sure it was some sort of numbing agent to keep me from waking up in pain.

"They numbed it earlier." She only added onto what I guessed.

"Feels good," I always liked the feeling of numbness. I sat up and shifted my bottom back with my arms so I can sit right. "And...How do you feel?"

"Okay, I guess." She shifted in her seat. She knew her mood was definitely not 'okay'. I had to do something to make her feel better. Just as if my body knew how to make it all worse, my stomach gurgles the most horrid gurgle. I remember now, I am hungry!

"So...Is there anything to eat?" I grinned embarrassingly. I was starving. She didn't even crack a smile. Why? Tummy grumbles always made her laugh.

"I can call someone to get food. Or, I can go get you food." She states. I blinked a few times; this might not be a bad idea. I never found hospital food tasty one bit.

"Am I allowed to eat whatever I want?"

"Yes."

"Then...You know me very well Ames, I'll let you find me something." I smiled. She nodded, but no smile. Amy got up from her seat and waved, telling me she'd be right back. Great, maybe it wasn't so good to let her leave, I'm lonely. I looked around to see what I could find to distract me. I can be amused easily. Hey! Twiddling your thumbs was always fun. I began the ferocious twiddle. Not long after my twiddling did a nurse enter my room.

"Ah you're up early! Well I'd guess so since you're Sonic the Hedgehog." She chimed flirtatiously. Heh, I am Sonic the Hedgehog though. I smiled. Her name was Rose from what I read on her tag. She was really pretty feline, but from the lusty eyes she had, I wouldn't touch her. Funny coincidence that her name is Rose though. All that thinking and I come up with nothing to say.

"Well..." I blurted retardedly as my hand rubbed the back of my head. She smiled. She did what she was suppose to do, a simple check up on my right eye to see if any damage was done that was unnoticeable, then on my motor skills. I aced the test. She nodded approvingly.

"Seems that you are pretty well out. I'd be careful as for seeing and moving around, you'd be surprised how important it has for both eyes."

"How so? I can still see."

"Well, " she began, she was smart too! At least she's not a dumb, pretty nurse. "You can still see perfectly out of your right eye. But you're depth perception will be way off until you become used to maneuvering with vision on your right."

"Doesn't sound too hard. I'll just keep my head cocked over a bit to the left." I answered jokingly. She laughed and nodded. There's no way I was going to keep my head cocked over to the left for the rest of my life. I knew very well what she explained. "I understand."

"Good," She finished. Then she winked at me and handed a small folded paper. I unfolded it to read a series of numbers; her phone number. Wow! I heard a plastic bag crinkle as it was set down on the table besides me. Amy! I hadn't even noticed she walked in. She glanced at the paper. Oh boy, am I going to hear it! I had another girl's phone number.

"Well...She is pretty." She said flatly. What? I stood silent, thinking up of an answer.

"I'm not interested." I said as I aimlessly threw the paper off into the black void of my left vision, "What did you buy?" My nose sniffed into the air. I knew that scent all too well. Chilidogs! Man if girls smelled like chilidogs! I would definitely be interested in a relationship. I stopped in a second of my thought. That's kind of gross. I laughed.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Nothing!" Nothing rolled off my tongue so fast. Amy handed me my food and I began eating. It was silent for a while, Amy was staring off at the floor, and I was swallowing my last piece of food.

"Why so quiet?" I asked between chews.

"No reason...I just figured you'd like to eat in peace." She responded, but in a soft, dark tone. She wasn't right.

"No...I always talk when I eat, you know that." I said, finally swallowing the heap of grinded food. No answer. I have to think of something to say, "How long do I have to stay here?"

"Not too long, the doctor wants to make sure you're just safe to go. Tails said he'd come by when you're ready to leave." She explained. Ah, so I mustn't be too hurt if Tails didn't think it was necessary to wait on my bedside. There was one more chilidog in the bag.

"Do you want the last one?" I asked.

"I don't like chilidogs."

"Why not?! They're so good!" I licked my lips and stuffed half the dog in my mouth. They really are about the most delicious thing I have ever tasted! She didn't give me an answer. Talk about the cold shoulder. "Amy?...Is everything...Alright?"

"...Yeah." She lied, I could hear it. I could see it; her eyes started welling up with tears. She was not alright, not at all. I put my dog down and faced her.

"Amy..." She lifted her head to see me. She was so sad. I've never ever seen her this sad, "Please don't be sad." I spoke as soft as I could to not damage her delicateness. She was stretched thin and was about to break.

"Why shouldn't I be? It's my entire fault!" I knew she would say that. I nodded my head 'no'.

"I don't feel like it's your fault at all."

"You don't! Because...You're...You're my friend! And you don't want me to feel guilty. But the fact is...I should've ran when you said to, I should've never pointed at the metal sheet when it flew to you, I could've pulled you down, I could've told you to duck! No...I pointed to it and called your name." She blurted, she was now crying uncontrollably, hiccups and all. I rested both my hands on her shoulder and pulled her to my chest. Her little jumps from the hiccups made me relax. Of course she's going to be upset at what happened, I can't see why not...It'll pass, and everything will be alright.

"Ames...I'm really okay with what happened. It's not like I lost my legs...You're safe, and that's what I wanted, that's all I need." I cooed. I rubbed her back to help calm her, but nothing changed. She just cried harder and harder. Her breathing became more uncontrollable and her face was red. She wasn't going to calm down anytime soon. I pull her from my chest to look her straight in the eyes, as best as I can with one eye. "Amy, please. Calm down." This was going to be worse than I thought.

Well, that's it for this chapter. More to come :D
