Chapter 3: Stay With Me...
Sonic woke up in the middle of the night after having a horrible nightmare! In it, he was strapped to a wooden chair and forced to watch Sally and Khan kiss, cuddle, and… He shuddered at what the last part was. He didn't even know what he was doing when he walked out of Amy's room, down to the kitchen, and when he opened the drawer, he saw the biggest butcher knife ever! He picked it up out of the drawer and held it to his wrists. He let out a cry of pain as he drew the knife across his wrist.
Amy heard this and broke out of her state of sleep!
She looked over to the kitchen where the scream had came from. She heard another one and now that she was awake, she was able to tell it belonged to Sonic! And by the sound of it, it was NOT good! She threw the covers off of her and rushed into the kitchen. "Sonic, what the heck is-!" But she gasped when she saw Sonic cutting himself! Why was he doing this?! Sonic turned his head and saw Amy. His emerald green eyes shrunk. 'Shit, I forgot that she was sleeping out on the couch!' he thought. Amy slowly made her way towards the azure hedgehog, with her hands held out. "Sonic… now, don't do anything rash… just stay still and…" she said very slowly and carefully. Sonic held the knife firmly in his hands. He didn't show any signs of pulling a suicidal move, but he gave off this kind of… dark aura that made Amy even more nervous.
Nonetheless, Amy got to Sonic and reached for the knife. But before she could grab it, Sonic swung it down... into his wrist. He cried out in pain and agony as his blood splattered on the kitchen counter. Amy gasped in shock and pulled the knife out of her friend's wrist. "Sonic! Stop this!" she pleaded, tears forming in her eyes. "No! I wanna die, Amy! No one loves me anymore! Sally left me for a fucking monkey!" Sonic cried, tearing into his wounds. "Just because she broke your heart, doesn't mean no one else will love you! I mean… I took you in, didn't I?!" Amy exclaimed. Sonic was about to protest but then took that fact into account. He started panting lightly and looked down at his arm wound. He then started to cry and sob into Amy's arms. Amy blushed but soon fell into the hug as well.
Later…
Amy took Sonic into her bathroom where she cleaned his wound and bandaged it up. She said she would take him to the hospital tomorrow, but for now he should be okay. "It doesn't even matter…" the blue Mobian muttered. Amy's jade green eyes shrunk slightly, then narrowed. "Sonic the Hedgehog! So what if Sally broke your heart, that was her choice!" the pink hedgehog snapped slightly. Sonic's ears lowered and he gave off a sad, sorrowful aura. "I know… but I thought she loved me…" he said in a really sad tone. Amy sighed. She then knelt down so she was eye level to Sonic. She stared into his emerald green eyes which were full of sadness and tears. "Look, Sonic… I know you loved Sally, and I'm pretty sure she loved you too… I don't know why she chose Khan over you… But you can't just keep beating yourself up over it all… I mean… you're the hero of Mobius… And that's not the only reason we want you around. We also want you around because we all love you…" Amy explained in a comforting yet serious tone. "Even I…" Sonic didn't quite hear the last part, and asked what she had said. Amy blushed in response and tried to cover it up. "N-Nevermind! Let's just get back to sleep…" Sonic's mouth gaped at her and his eyes shook slightly. Her smiled and tender voice made a few more pieces of his shattered heart fall back into place…
After Amy brought Sonic back up to her bedroom and tucked him in, she petted his head in comfort. "Night-night, Sonic…" she whispered. Sonic looked up at her and said nothing. Amy took this as a response and started to leave. Sonic bit his lower lip slightly. 'I have to say something!' he thought. Just as Amy's hand touched the doorknob, Sonic opened his mouth.
"Amy!"
Amy turned around to look at Sonic. "Yeah?" she asked. Sonic stared into her jade green eyes, trying to find the right words. However, he felt speechless at the moment. Amy was about to ask what the problem was, but Sonic finally said, "Can you… stay with me for a little bit longer?" Amy gasped slightly and blushed. She didn't know how to respond to this… She knew what she had to do, but as for what she wanted to do… nothing. She remembered what her mom had told her about a situation like this.
"Listen to your heart…"
She listened to what her heart had to say. And it said… "Stay with him, Amy Rose…" She gripped her beating heart and breathed in. After breathing out, she smiled and nodded. Sonic smiled slightly as another two pieces of his heart went back into place.
Amy sat by Sonic on her bed and turned on the bedside table lamp. It wasn't extremely bright, but it wasn't like a tiny candle flame either. It was just perfect… 'Perfect… like her…' Sonic thought, placing his hand over Amy's. After hearing himself say that, Sonic blushed and his emerald eyes shrunk. 'What the hell am I thinking?! I'm not in l-love with her! Am I?' Luckily, Amy had yawned, so, she didn't see him react.
Sonic was getting really tired, as was Amy. Before you knew it, the two had fallen asleep next to each other on the soft bed…
Done! I think I'm gonna make this one of my two main stories to work on!
Shadow: Aw, this was really sweet…
R&R!
