Forever & Always
Chapter Three
I walked out of my bathroom, wearing my gray sweats, and white tank top, carrying my wedding dress. I hung it up in my closet, and turned to Sonic, who was siting on my bed. "So?" I asked, sitting next to him.
"You're so beautiful," he said.
I smiled, blushing. "Um, thanks. So, where were you all this time?"
He sighed, "I can't exactly tell you that."
"Why not?"
"Well, they'll probably kill me."
"What?" I was a little confused, and shocked. Who would kill Sonic? And for telling me where he's been? That's... Well that's just mean!
"I've probably already said too much. Don't tell anyone, alright? Not even Shadow.."
"Sure, no problem." I wish I knew why and who would want to kill Sonic. What did he do? I frowned.
Sonic was usually a great guy, I couldn't see him getting into any sort of trouble that would lead
to him being a victim of death.
"Amy, please don't worry about it."
I sighed, "alright, fine, but you have to tell me sometime."
"I can't make any promises, but I'll try."
I nodded, having nothing more to say.
-x-x-
I sighed as Sonic and I walked side by side through the park. We used to spend almost everyday here together. Of course, he was always running away from me back then, and we usually weren't alone. The odd time we would sit on the swings together, but it was pretty awkward as neither of us said anything. I never wanted to say anything to scare him off, so I kept my mouth shut.
I felt like there was a little kid inside me, desperately wanting to escape. The kid that never really grew up, because she was too busy waiting for Sonic to come home.
"Are you alright?" Sonic asked me.
I smiled, the best I could. "Perfectly fine."
"I wish I could tell you, Amy, I really do. When the time comes, you'll understand. Everything. Even the pills," he said the last part with such emphasis, as if he were giving me a clue.
"How did you know about that?" I stopped walking.
"It's part of what I can't tell you."
"Okay, let me get this straight. You've been away for ten years, and you somehow manage to know
things, but you can't tell me how or why. I'm supposed to be okay with this? I waited for you for as
long as I could. If you think you can just return when I finally start to get on with my life, and
expect me not to marry Shadow, and do whatever the hell if going on in your head... your wrong. I
shouldn't have given you the chance to explain this. You have nothing to explain." I turned around,
and started walking back to my house. If Shadow wasn't already there, I'd have to call and tell him
to come over. I needed to apologize. I should have known Sonic wouldn't be the same, that he
wouldn't tell me why he's been away.
"Amy, please," he caught up to me and was standing in front of me, with pleading eye. "Please. I beg you. I know I've been gone and you deserve a reason, but I just can't give you one right now." He paused for a minute, looking far into the distance. "Guess."
"What?"
"Guess. I can't tell you, but he never said anything about you guessing."
"He who?"
"Guess!"
I sighed. "Eggman?"
He shook his head.
"I don't know, then. Who else would want to kill you?"
"Name every guy you know."
"Knuckles, Shadow -"
Sonic started jumping up and down, touching his nose with his index finger.
I frowned at him, like he was crazy. "You got it!" he said.
My frown disappeared, and my eyes slowly started to widen. Was Sonic serious? Was Shadow the reason he couldn't come back, or was he just trying to get me away from him? My eyes narrowed in suspicion as I tried to figure out what he was doing.
Shadow making him stay away made sense, except Shadow wasn't that kind of person, but it explains how he knew about the pills. However, Sonic coming back after ten years and interrupting my wedding led me to believe he maybe... No, who am I kidding, Sonic wouldn't feel that way.
Am I supposed to believe someone who hasn't been around for ten years, or trust that my almost
husband wouldn't do such a thing?
"Amy, I know you don't want to believe me and regardless of what I say you probably won't. Just, try to believe me? That night ten years ago, when I saved you from them, Shadow knew I liked you, so he took me away to Eggman's base. He didn't know at first, but when he found out, he didn't argue. He couldn't risk having Shadow turn against him."
"Alright, hold up," I said before he could say anything more. "You went from being able to say
absolutely nothing to everything just because I said Shadow's name? Are you suddenly not going to
get killed now?"
"Amy..." he sighed. "I can't explain it. It's so complicated. Please, just trust me for now."
"Sonic, I-"
"I've missed you so much," he interrupted. "You have no idea. I thought of you all day, everyday. Can we go back to how it used to be? Just for a day. Wrap your arms around me and say you've missed me too."
If I didn't know any better, I'd say he had tears in his eyes. I grabbed him, and hugged him, smiling. "I have missed you, Sonic. So much," I whispered in his ear.
A/N: Blah! Hi! Sorry I haven't updated in... sixteen days. Ah! I had this all typed out.. But not saved. I don't really know why I didn't upload it o.O
Anyways. I was planning on uploading it, but my computer decided to shut off. I had about 34957309576 tabs open on Word Perfect, so, it didn't save it. My luck.
So I had to re-write most of it, which didn't go to well, as I forgot most of it, soooooooooo, the ending is sort of... sudden ._.
They'll finish this talk soon[;
& The next one will be longer [:
