I'm so sorry I didn't update! The test was keeping me from updating. But hey! I was able to do this chapter so I hope you guys enjoy. :)
The sun rose up to a new and warm, sunny morning. Its rays touched the face of a pink hedgehog, who turned the other way to avoid the sun's rays. She was sleeping soundly while her mind continued to replay the events of yesterday over and over again, making Amy smile in her sleep. She just couldn't get enough of his green eyes. How peaceful and bright they were. How they were so full of life when she stared right into them. When he looked at her, her stomach couldn't help but do turns and flips out of nerveness. Don't forget the butterflies she felt when he called her 'Ames'. But, it scared her too. She couldn't fall in love with this guy already.
Could she?
She hasn't dated anyone in a long time, not after what happened with Jack. Amy wasn't able to trust any guy with her heart after that. How can she be sure that he's different?
Like I said, you looooooove him.
Ugh. It's you again.
Hey, I never left. I'll always be here when you need help.
Help with what?
With Sonic.
WHAT?! I don't need help with him! We're just friends!
Not for long.
Shut up!
Amy jumped off her bed, panting a little. She noticed that she was wearing the same outfit from yesterday, with her camera around her. She had a weird feeling that made her check her camera, and when she did, she led out a small gasp. On the screen, there was a picture of the meadow Sonic took her to but with the moon shining above it. Millions of stars could be seen as well, with a few fireflies flying around. The moon and stars made the flowers glow in a weird but magical way that made you stare in awe. Once Amy realized what it was she raised an eyebrow, confused. She knew she didn't take the picture, taking it meant reveling the special place which she didn't want to show anyone. So how did...?
"Sonic..."
She jumped off her bed and went to the tiny living room. She checked the kitchen to see if he was there but found nothing. She went to his room only to find that he was gone and left his bed all messy. Amy sighed.
'I wonder why he took the picture?' she thought to herself.
The meadow was supposed to be a secret between the both of them, so why did he...?
Maybe he wanted you to remember the place.
But why? After I told him that I didn't want to, he still took it? Why?
Maybe he likes you...or loves you.
Pfft. Yeah right, why would he like me? Or even love me? I'm nothing special.
Perhaps you mean a lot to him. You never know when he might admit it.
I don't know. I guess. How do you know?
How do you not know.
Whatever.
Um...Amy?
What is it this time?
You should probably change your clothes or you're going to be late for class.
What do you mean-
Amy looked at the blue clock that was sitting on the bedside table in Sonic's room.
9:50.
Her eyes widened and she ran back to her room, changing her outfit.
All people could see as they went to class was a pink blur running all around campus, going to who knows where. Amy was now wearing a red shirt that had the straps around her upper arms, showing of her shoulders and a bit of cleavage. She also had on ripped jeans and her red Converse. She was almost there, with her backpack jumping on her back with every step she took. The pink hedgehog made a sharp turn to the right, and continued to run down the hallway. She suddenly stopped at her class and walked inside with a second to spare. She let herself fall on her desk, breathing heavily. She wasn't the running type. Once she caught up with her breathing, the teacher walked in and started talking about something that no one understood. But Amy wasn't paying attention, she was to busy thinking about Sonic and the picture he took. She still wondered why he took it, why he went through all the trouble of telling her to keep it a secret and then take a picture that can be easily found on her camera. That's something that she did not want to happen. The "secret place" was hers and Sonic's. She would feel guilty if anyone found out. Her day went as usual; going to classes that were practically on the other side of campus, getting to see teachers that looked like they've been here for a thousand years, pretending that you actually get the subject, and so on. At the end of the day, Amy was walking back to her dorm with a backpack full of things she needed to do. She was so exhausted that she didn't notice someone sneaking up behind her.
He wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pulled her back. Amy led out a scream and tried to get out of the person's grip. When she did, she turned around and faced her attacker.
"What the hell?! Why would you do-" she trailed off when she noticed who she was talking to. She glared immediately.
"Jack! What the hell do you think your doing?!" she screamed, making students look at her with curiosity. Amy didn't mind though, not now.
Jack smirked and walked closer to her, making Amy back up next to the wall of a building. Once her back touched the cold, strong wall, she panicked a little but didn't want to show it in front of Jack. She looked at him dead in the eyes and continued to glare at the grey fox.
"What do you want now?" she asked, annoyed.
"I wanted to see you babe. I can't do that?" he asked, putting his arms around her waist again, pulling her close to his body. Amy shivered at his touch, and started to struggle again.
"I'm not your babe! I never will be! Let go before I report you!" she threatened. Jack let her go and stared at her with simpathetic eyes.
"You would do that?"
"Hell yeah! I never want-"
She stopped talking. She opened her eyes and she noticed the thing she never wanted to do in her life. Jack, had caught her lips and was now kissing her. She didn't know how to react at first but once she felt his tongue slide inside her mouth, she didn't like it one bit.
She pushed Jack off her by the shoulders, breaking the kiss. Jack still had the smirk, tainted on his lips.
I'll wipe that smirk right off your face...
With one swing of her arm, Amy's hand made contact with Jack's right cheek, making a big 'smack' sound, leaving him with a big, red hand print on it.
Amy smiled in triumph, and pulled her hand back. Jack glared at her with his deep blue eyes, making Amy regret her move. By now, all the students were gone, leaving Amy alone with a crazy ex-boyfriend. He reached out and grabbed her arm with so much force that it made her jump. He looked at her, his icy blue eyes piercing through her skin, making her look away. He brought her close so he could whisper in her ear.
"You're going to regret doing that." he said in a low husky voice.
Amy closed her eyes, tears swelling up and falling down on her cheeks. She expected him to slap her or do something much worse, but nothing came. Wondering what happened, she dared herself to open her eyes and find out what happened to the grey fox. She found him on the floor, grunting in pain while holding his stomach. Amy raised a brow, wondering who did it.
"You okay Ames?" asked an angelic voice that made her die inside. She turned her head and saw Sonic looking at her with concerned filled green eyes. With out a second thought, she ran up to him with wide open arms and hugged him while silently crying on his chest. She felt his hand go up and down in a slow, soothing way on her back that almost made her fall asleep in his arms. She could only dream.
"There, there..." he said warmly.
"I... was scared he might...have done something..."
"He didn't. And I'll make sure he won't lay a hand on you, ever."
Amy looked up at him, staring in his eyes to make sure he wasn't lying. But she found nothing in them that would tell her that he was not telling the truth.
"You promise?"
He smiled warmly and started to get his fingers tangled in her quills.
"I promise."
She smiled and buried her face in his chest again, crying silently. Sonic's cheeks became a bright red, but he still hugged her back, letting his fingers brush her pink quills that were soft to the touch.
Jack, no longer on the floor, watched the lovely scene play out, fury in his eyes. The cute couple continued to embrace each other until Sonic felt angry eyes burn his skin. He pulled way, looking at Jack with the same hate the grey fox was giving. Maybe even more.
"Didn't your parents teach you to never raise your hand to a woman before?"
"Is she supposed to be a woman?"
Amy growled against Sonic's chest, wanting to punch the crap out of him. When she tried to turn her body around, Sonic only hugged her tighter, making it hard for her to breath against his chest. That's when she felt Sonic's arms around her. His right arm was hugging her shoulders, while his left arm was wrapped around her waist. She blushed, and hugged Sonic back, deciding to let him handle it.
"Yes, she is. A beautiful woman who deserves better than you." Sonic stated, making Amy's cheeks heat up even more when he called her beautiful.
Jack rolled his eyes, annoyed.
"Whatever. Gimme back my hoe."
He started to walk towards them, making Amy cry more each step he took. She knew Jack, and what he'll do if he's really angry, like now. There was one time when he got so pissed off that he punched her in the eye, leaving her without an apology. She still remembers the pain in her left eye.
Sonic pulled Amy back, hugging her tighter, making her gasp for air.
"If you touch her one more time I swear... you won't see the light of day." he threatened.
Jack ignored it, and walked even closer to them. He stopped when he noticed Sonic's fur get darker. Soon, a black aura surrounded both hedgehogs, making him back up. Sonic spoke again, his voice low, dark and eerie.
"Don' . !"
Jack's face was now covered with fear, not wanting to see what he will do, he back up and ran away. Sonic, his fur now black and is quills turned upward, watched him run away like a coward. He smirked evilly.
"Cowardly bastard."
"S-Sonic...?"
He looked down at Amy, no longer furious but angry.
"I...I...can't...breath..." she choked out with the air she had left. Sonic let her go, making Amy gasp and cough a bit.
"Sorry.."
"It's...okay..."
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?"
"Why is your fur black?"
Sonic didn't answer. He was looking at the direction Jack ran off to, glaring. He stood up, not looking at her.
"That bastard isn't getting away." he said darkly. Before he could even move he felt something tug on his jeans. He looked down and noticed Amy.
"Please, its not worth it. Let it go." she said calmly.
"Why? He was going to hurt you!"
"I know but he didn't thanks to you. Calm down, okay?"
He sighed, and his fur went back to a shade of blue. Amy got up and hugged im again, catching Sonic off guard.
"Thanks."
He pulled her close and closed his eyes.
"You're welcome."
As both hedgehogs went back to their dorm room, the chatted a bit to make time fly. Since they really didn't know each other besides there dreams, they talked about there families and stuff like that. Amy didn't have much to tell, her life was normal. Two parents that loved her very much, a sister that she hardly ever saw and was lucky when ever she did, and a best friend since they were kids. It was hard for Sonic to tell her about his life, he never told anyone. But something told him that it was okay to tell Amy.
"Well, I don't have either of my parents. My mom died in a car accident, and not long after that, my dad left me and Tails so we had to stay with our grandparents."
"Who's Tails?"
"My brother."
"Oh. Are you okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean about your mom."
"Oh, yeah... I'm fine. At least she's in a better place now."
"Yeah."
Amy couldn't help but notice how Sonic tensed up when they talked about his mother. Amy didn't know she would have done if she lost her mom. So, she did the only thing she could think of. She hugged him for the third time that day. Sonic of course was surprised, but didn't object. Instead, he pulled her close once again, taking in her sent like it was a drug, and closed his eyes.
"I'm here if you want to talk about it."
"I know...I know."
"Oh! Before I forget, why did you take the picture of the meadow yesterday?" he heard Amy mumble.
"Huh? Oh, I thought it would be better for you to remember it if I took it. You know, like carrying around a memory."
She giggled. "Oh, I guess that's one way of putting it."
When they broke of the embrace, Amy leaned forward and kissed his cheek. She smiled warmly at him, and walked ahead. Sonic, frozen in place and trying to take it all in, stood there astonished. He lightly touched his cheek, and smirked.
He was not washing that off.
Finally. I'm taking another test today so...it sucks. :(
Fav and review please!
Bye peeps!
