Moonlight: Eclipse
Chapter 4: News
O
A loud sigh was heard from downstairs.
Amy was trying to sleep in her bed with Sonic, but instantly woke up at the sound of the sigh.
She knew that sigh, it was from a certain wolf.
Is something wrong? Had something happened? These questions just made her to curios to try to sleep, so she chose to slowly get off the bed and put on some clothes before finally walking down the stairs.
"No mom... I'm not sad, angry or anything..." She could hear Moon talk in the living room.
Was he on the phone? Was he talking to his mom?
Was something up?
"I'm happy for you, that's all." He said with a chuckle, sitting there on the couch.
Amy quietly walked into the living-room, not letting her "wolfy" friend hear her.
"Nice try Amy."
Or at least... she thought so.
"One second." He said, holding a finger up. "I'm on the phone. Mo-No mom, everything is fine. No, I'm not devastated... I will be fine, alright?"
Amy crossed her arms as she leaned back to the wall, watching the scene in front of her.
"Mom... calm down, okey? I gotta go now, it's late. Alright, I love you too. Bye."
He hanged up, sighed, shook his head and then finally turned his head to the pink hedgehog.
"What's up?" He said with a chuckle, hiding the sadness he had just shown.
"I was going to ask you the same thing..." Amy said, scratching her ear. "Is something wrong with your mom?"
He shook his head, sighing. "No... it's just that... she's going to marry with some new guy, they are expecting a baby and everything."
"Oh." She said, blinking. "Must be hard for you."
The wolf shrugged, not really being in the mood to talk. "I guess... I mean, I am happy for her but... I just... I don't know. Hey, why do I even care? I never met my father except just recently and he was a douche-bag. My mom ca- Ah, who am I kidding... I think she's forgetting me."
"Moon, she would never forget you. You're her son." Amy took a seat next to her friend, smiling.
"I know that... just... I don't know. I had expected her to be more worried about me then she is and... I don't know. She's been with the guy for a time now and I just got to know he exists. I mean... what if she does forget me?"
He felt how his friend embraced him, trying to calm him down.
"She wont, okey? She wont."
"I hope you're right..." Moon said, sighing loudly yet again. "I don't want to sound like someone who feels sorry for himself but... why is this crap happening to me?"
Amy sighed as she let her grip go. "I don't know Moon. A part of life? Certainly you aren't going to let that stop you from living?"
"I don't know Amy... I don't know..."
Then a beep entered the room, Moon's cellphone vibrating.
"A text message, from... Cherry?" He said, his eyes widening at the owner of the message.
"Oh my, what does it say?" Amy said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Both moved closer to the cellphone's little screen, trying to see what the message said.
Amy gasped at it as Moon simply froze.
The cellphone fell from his hands and hit the ground as he began to cry, louder then he had sighed...
"Moon, it's okey." Amy said, hugging him again.
"No! It's not okey! She really hates me and I can't understand why! Is it because I'm famous? That's the reason, isn't it?"
"Shhh... just ignore it."
"I can't!"
While he was crying there was something on the floor. Lying on the living-room's carpet was his cellphone, still showing the text message on the screen.
This is what it said:
'Really think I haven't gotten over you? Well think again. I was a fool for loving you and now you turned your back at me. I'm not taking you back, ever. Never ever ever.
Still don't believe me? Here is some "proof".'
Under the message was a photo that had been sent as well.
It showed Chelsea, kissing another man...
Loud cries came around the house, waking up a blue hedgehog who quickly speeded down to see what happened.
"Yo! What's going on?" He said, turning his head to Amy and Moon.
Amy nodded to the cellphone, and in a sonic second our here had picked it up to observe it's content.
"Holy crap..." He said, slowly looking up at the two on the couch.
"Is he... okey?" Sonic asked, not sure how to act in situations like this.
Amy shook her head, still holding the crying friend in her arms.
"No..."
Well that was short, but dramatic.
Stay tuned for the next chapter.
Oh, and the reason this one was short was because I wanted the story pushed forward but didn't have anything else to update on... Sorry =/
Hope you enjoyed it anyways!
