Chapter 4: Amy's Depression and Sonic's Revelation
Amy's POV- Four Months Later
I thought I made the right choice in removing Sonic from my life. It turns out, it was the worst mistake I ever made. I was doing great for the first two months thanks to my friends. I was happy again, but that all change when the third month came. I clearly remembered that day when my friends and I ran into two familiar faces; Carson and Hugo.
Flashback
We were having lunch at Chick-Fil-A. Shadow and Silver were mumbling about sports, Knuckles was talking with Rouge, Tails was reading a mechanics magazine, and Blaze and Cream were telling about their day. I was in a joyful mood all day until I saw two familiar faces coming out of the pharmacy across the street. Upon closer examination, I realized it was Carson and Hugo, who we have not seen in three months.
"Hey guys, isn't that Carson and Hugo?" I asked to the group. The group noticed the charmeleon and hornet coming out of the pharmacy and walking away.
"It is Carson and Hugo." Tails said surprised. We threw our trash away and ran up to the duo. They must have noticed us because they stopped and turned around to see us running towards them.
"Hey guys." Hugo said stunned. This caught my attention, why would Carson and Hugo be stunned to see us.
"Long time no see." Carson said stunned as well. We stopped when we heard how they replied to us.
"Where have you two been?" Blaze asked. Carson and Hugo nervously looked at each other before answering Blaze.
"You guys are going to hate our answer." Hugo said worried.
"Why would hate your answer? Come on guys tell us?" Knuckles said. Carson took a deep breath and spoke to us.
"We've been with Sonic these past three months." Carson said in defeat. I was shocked and a little angry that my two friends would be with Sonic. Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, and Tails were not happy at all as were the girls.
"Why the hell are you hanging out with that heartless bastard?" Shadow asked in anger.
"Look you don't understand…" Carson tried to talk but was cut off by Rouge.
"We completely understand that you've betrayed Amy as well. She's your friend and you two threw her away like trash." Rouge angrily stated.
"If you would just listen…" Hugo began was stopped by Silver.
"No we don't need to listen. We trusted you two but you ended up being heartless like Sonic." Silver said. Carson and Hugo were starting to become angry as we each took turns blaming them.
"I don't want to see Sonic, and if you two are going to be like him…" I tried to finish but was completely stopped when Carson shouted at us.
"SONIC IS INJURIED YOU ASSHOLES!" Carson shouted in anger. We all stood frozen in shock, completely unaware Sonic was injured. The silence was broken by Hugo next words.
"When you left him Amy, Sonic got into an argument with Sally and ran off in anger. He was so distracted that he didn't see the ledge coming." Hugo said in a calm voice. I was shocked that Sonic was angry at Sally, but for what reason.
"I don't understand…" Tails tried to ask before Carson cut him off.
"He tumbled down the ledge and landed on his feet. When he landed, there was a loud pop in his left knee. Next thing we know, we hear him screaming in pain and we took him to the hospital." Carson said looking directly as us.
"What happened/" Cream asked in worriment. Carson looked at me before sighing and spoke again.
"Amy, Sonic completely tore both his ACL and meniscus in his left knee. He had surgery on it that same day. We've been helping him through his rehab ever since. We just came here to pick up his medicine and pills. We didn't want to tell you." Carson finished speaking.
"Now you know." Hugo said. I stood there with my friends in shock after hearing Carson and Hugo's words. I was way beyond shock; I was so angry and betrayed by Sonic that I didn't even get the chance to check on him. I then see someone coming out of a Subway with a violet-blue hedgehog; someone on crutches. All of my friends notice this as well and were beyond shock.
"Is that…" Cream asked pointing at the person. Carson and Hugo looked behind and shook their heads in defeat. I felt tears coming from my eyes when I saw who was on the crutches; Sonic. I looked over to see Shadow with a shocked expression when he saw the violet-blue hedgehog. He looked up to see Carson and Hugo saw me and my friends.
"Sonic…" I tried to say but he left quickly. The violet-blue hedgehog helped Sonic walked down the street as Carson and Hugo looked back at us with defeated expressions.
"Why did he…" Silver could not finish as Carson spoke up.
"You got what you wanted Amy. You told him to stay away forever and he's keeping his word. Sorry Amy." Carson said in defeat. My friends and I were actually surprised by the fact that Sonic took everything I said seriously.
"Sorry Amy, we've got to go everyone." Hugo said walking away from us. Carson looked back at us once more and walked away with Hugo. I tried to speak but couldn't find my words as I kept the image of Sonic's eyes. They were filled with regret, sadness, despair, and loneliness; as if he was lost without someone to love. I couldn't believe what I saw for the very first time.
End Flashback
That was the last time I saw Sonic and I've regretted my decision ever since. Since that day, I've gone into a deep depression. I kept thinking about that fateful day I told him to stay away from me forever. When I returned home from seeing Sonic on crutches, I just cried and cried myself to sleep. Even my friends have suffered through my depression as well, each greatly affected.
Tails has lost his chipper personality and no longer creates inventions. He just listens to the radio and whittles on a stick. He had an unbreakable bond with Sonic until that fateful day we caught him with Sally. He seemed to not even care about Sonic until we saw him on crutches. I saw the hurt in his eyes and I guess Tails blames himself for Sonic's injury.
Knuckles and Rouge don't even hang out with each other anymore. All they do now is constantly fight and argue with each other. When Sonic was still our friend, Knuckles and Rouge noticed each other differently and saw each other with dreamy expressions. Those two seem to love each other, but when Sonic no longer around they fight nonstop. I don't know how to help them now.
Silver and Blaze, they are no longer a couple anymore. After we saw Sonic injured for the first time, Silver and Blaze got into a heated argument with each other. It was over who was responsible for Sonic getting injured and the next thing I know, they both angrily ended their relationship. Every time I would hang out with Blaze and saw Silver walking by, they gave each other death glares. I've never seen so much anger between my friends; they are really missing Sonic.
Cream no longer had a cheerful and caring personality. She seemed so lost without a caring friend, not even Cheese can make her happy again. All she does is stare at a picture of Tails she kept by her bedside. I remember that she was really in love with Tails, but she feels her love dying from heartache. I can completely relate to her; without Sonic and Tails we are lost without love.
Finally, Shadow was lost and angry when he saw the violet-blue hedgehog. Every day I would get a call from an angry and confused Shadow. However, when nighttime comes he would call me crying in sadness and despair. All I did was cry with him on my phone; feeling my heart ache with pain. Without Sonic in my life, I'm lonely and without him in my friends lives then we are nothing. I looked out my window with tears in my eyes. All I could do was stare out into the stars.
"I miss you Sonic." I quietly said crying. I need you back in my life. I just hope wherever you are with Carson, Hugo, and your new friend, I can see you again soon.
Sonic's POV
It's been four months since I last seen Amy and my former friends. I had to keep my word and stay away from her, no matter how much pain it caused us. My recovery has been improving every single day thanks to Carson, Hugo, and Nebula. The past six months have helped me physically and emotionally. I could feel my muscles building every day and Nebula helped me find my lost emotion love. On this day, I finally had my breakthrough and I couldn't have been anymore happier. I'm thankful I had my brothers and sister were here to witness.
"Okay Sonic, are you ready?" Carson said. I was on my crutches with Hugo helping me stand and Nebula was recording.
"No!" I said. Carson, Hugo, and Nebula were confused by my words until they saw me drop my crutches down on the floor. Hugo was shocked and started announcing it to the world.
"Oh shit! Sonic's going with no crutches! No crutches everyone!" Hugo proudly announced. Carson and Nebula cheered along with Hugo while I just rolled my eyes and smiled. I hobbled on my left knee and slowly put pressure on it.
"Okay I'm ready." I said in a little pain.
"Hold up! Let's really put you to the test." Hugo said.
"What are you…" Nebula tried to ask but saw her answer. I put Hugo on his shoulders and began to settle his left knee. I was going to carry Hugo, which will really test my left knee. Once I had Hugo on my shoulders, I looked back at Carson with a mixture of pain and determination.
"I'm ready!" I said feeling Hugo's weight greatly affecting my left knee. I saw Nebula turn on her camera and began her recording. I looked back to see Carson giving me an encouraging smile.
"Ready! Set! Go!" Carson loudly said. Immediately, I slowly began to walk towards Carson. I fully felt Hugo's weight sinking in and the pain immediately struck my surgically repaired knee. I began to sweat profusely as I slowly walked towards Carson.
"Come on Sonic! You're almost here!" Carson said egging me to continue. The pain was excruciating and I could feel my left knee beginning to collapse. I went down on one knee, sweating and trying to get back up. Carson, Hugo, and Nebula would not allow me to give up.
"Damn it! Don't quit on us Sonic." Nebula said.
"That's right Sonic. Until you collapse, don't you ever fall!" Carson said. When I heard Carson words, I closed my eyes and saw Amy cheering for me.
"Don't you ever quit on me Sonic!" Amy cheered. I opened my eyes again and started to get back up on my feet.
"I…will…never…quit…Amy!" I said getting back up to my feet. I continued to slowly walked over to Carson. Nebula and Hugo cheered as I was only two feet away from Carson.
"Come on damn it!" Carson shouted. I carried Hugo on my shoulders as I was a foot away from my brother.
"I…will…never…collapse!" I said, finally reaching Carson. I set Hugo down off my shoulders and collapsed into Carson's arms. Nebula stopped recording and cheerfully ran up to me, Carson, and Hugo. I heavily breath and smiled as my two brothers and sister gave me a group hug.
"You did it Sonic! You finally did it!" Nebula cried in happiness.
"I did it!" I said heavily breathing.
"Hell yeah! I'm proud of you buddy! On a surgically repaired knee, you carried a 175-pound hornet and walked over to me. That's what I'm talking about!" Carson said to me. I smiled until me, Carson, and Nebula heard Hugo cough to get our attention.
"Actually Carson, I'm 195 pounds of muscle!" Hugo said with a smirk. I was shocked; I was able to carry nearly 200 pounds of muscle on my shoulders while walking on a surgically repaired left knee. I smiled and hugged my hornet friend, very happy he pushed me to my limits.
"You son of a bitch! Thanks for pushing me to my limits!" I happily said. I had finally put pressure on my left knee again after six months of rehab. I knew my recovery was not over as I still had two-three months left to fully recover my left knee. But on this day, it was a win for all four of us and I couldn't be any happier. After hugging and celebrating, we were done for day. I sat down on my bed in my guest room. I was breathing heavily as I looked at the Amy plush doll.
"I did it Amy! I did it!" I said to the Amy plush doll. I picked it up and looked at it with love and happiness. I know it wasn't the real Amy, but I couldn't help and gently kissed it. I smiled as my heart beat with love and happiness.
"Thank you Amy. I'll always think about you, no matter where you go." I said to the doll. The doll's smile filled my heart; I'm very happy I'm in love with Amy. I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I was thinking about how I should tell Sally I no longer love her.
"I hope she doesn't slap me. I've already been slap four times." I said remembering that day in the woods. I shifted my head on my pillow and felt something underneath it.
"What the hell?" I said confused. I checked under my pillow and found another note. I picked it up with a shaky hand, deep in thought as to who wrote the note.
"Amy?" I quietly asked myself. I finally opened the letter and began to read it. It wasn't a letter from Amy or in her hand writing. In fact, it was letter from my anti; Scourge the Hedgehog.
"What the…" I tried to finish but kept on reading. After reading the letter, I slowly put it down and stared straight out. I felt a lot of emotions circling in my head and heart, but they were not happiness or love. Instead, I felt anger and hate flow through my veins and my blood beginning to boil. I walked into the living were Carson, Hugo, and Nebula were watching Breaking Bad.
"I'm going for a walk." I said in anger. Carson, Hugo, and Nebula let me go as I walked with the letter in my hand. I learned who Scourge wrote the letter too and decided to pay a visit. Scourge wrote the letter to my "girlfriend", Sally.
What will happen next?
