Sonic's POV

It's been a whole week since I sent that letter to Amy. I had to keep certain things to myself. I wonder what Amy thought when she read the letter. I told her that I would explain everything once I come back home. I hope she didn't drop out of the contest. I told her she can't. If she did... I wouldn't know what to think.

"Hey Uncle Chuck?" I called out from the living room.

"Yes, Sonic?"

"I need help with math."

I was on my laptop. I was good at math, but now I wasn't. These pills weren't helping at all. Well, they were but they were making things harder for me. Uncle Chuck helped me out with my homework. Once I was done I turned off my laptop and sit it next to me.

"Ready for tomorrow?" Uncle Chuck asked.

"Kinda. I'm really worried about Amy."

"You talk a lot about her."

"She's my best friend. We were in a dance contest together, but then I dropped out... I can't stop thinking about her."

"Is the dance contest going to be on TV?"

That was a good question. I grabbed the TV remote and searched for the dance contest. They had dancing movies but not reality dancing. I dropped the remote on the floor and it broke.

"S-Sorry." I said. "Even my hands are weak."

"You're father always said that."

"What was dad like when he went through this?"

"He was just like you. He was strong. He thought of things that made him pull through. You talked a lot about you."

"R-Really?"

Uncle Chuck nodded his head and smiled. He picked up the remote and turned off the TV. My ears went down as I thought of my dad. Uncle Chuck knew what I was thinking about.

"Let's get you back to bed." Uncle said.

"But I've been in bed all day!" I whined.

"And it's going to stay like that."

I got up from the couch. Uncle Chuck helped me up the stairs. I went into the guest bedroom. Thank god there was a TV. My laptop and the TV were the only things I use. I didn't have phone which sucked. If only I could hear Amy's voice. I missed her so much.

"How is he?"

My ears went up as I heard my mother's voice. I muted the TV and listen to my mother and Uncle Chuck.

"He was doing his homework." Uncle Chuck said. "He talks a lot about that girl, Amy."

"They're best friends." My mother said. "I'm so worried about him."

"He'll pull through."

"But his father died when Sonic was only 17 years old."

I counted backwards. I'm 18 right now. It was just last year when dad died. I remembered his birthday. 17 years. My eyes got tears as I realized just how much longer I would be alive. I only had 18 more years to live. How am I suppose to tell Amy this!? What would she think!?

"Mom!" I yelled.

I heard my mom rush up the stairs. She looked worried.

"What's wrong, Sonic?"

"I miss Amy!" I said. "I have to see her! I have to know that she didn't drop out of the contest!"

"Sonic, there are more important things you have to worry about."

"But-" I began.

"No buts. Get some rest. Tomorrow is a big day."

My mother kissed me and left the room. I might as well just sleep. I turned off the TV and pulled the covers off of me. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"Fucking tears." I said with a sniff.


It's the next day. I felt something on my shoulder. I moaned and moved my head under the covers. I felt the covers fall off of me. I opened my eyes slowly. I felt so weak right now.

"Time to go, Sonic."

I turned my head. It was my mother. I stood up and held her arms out. I sat up and she helped me get out of bed. I could stay in my PJ's all day. That was a nice thing. We slowly walked down the stairs. It felt like forever! We finally reached the end of the stairs.

"What... T-Time is it?" I asked closing my eyes.

"4 in the morning... Open you eyes baby."

I opened my eyes again. I could barely see. We walked outside. The cold air hit me hard. I bent over. My mother stopped me from falling.

"I got him." Uncle Chuck said.

My mother and Uncle Chuck helped me into the car. Soon, we were on our way to the hospital. Mornings were the worst for me. I was so weak and tired. I couldn't even open my eyes. I couldn't feel my body at all. It's weird think that I was dancing a week ago and now I can't even feel my own body.

"We're here." Uncle Chuck said parking.

He opened the back door. I got out of the car. I put one arm around Uncle Chuck's shoulder and the other around my mom's shoulder. We all walked towards the hospital doors. Right away I got in a room. I was put on a bed. Everything was so bright.

"Turn off the lights." I said laying on my side.

"The sun isn't even out, silly." My mother said.

"I'm so fucking stupid..." I whispered.

"Alright Sonic." The doctor said coming into the room. "This won't hurt at all."

The doctor pulled up my sleeve and stuck a needle in my arm. I saw my mother and Uncle Chuck put mask on. Even the doctor had one on.

"Is chemo going to make my hair fall out?" I asked.

"Not for a while." The doctor said.

Oh great! I'm going to lose my hair now! I loved my hair! My mother held my hand. My eyes were started to close. I was so weak. So tired. I tried my best to be strong, but I couldn't do it anymore. My eyes closed.

"Sonic... Wake up."

I heard a voice. It sounded like Amy. My eyes slowly opened. The light burned and I shut them again. I was breathing through my mouth. I couldn't lift my arms. I slowly opened my eyes again. There was no more light. I looked around the room. I looked at my arm. There was no needle!

"They're keeping you here over night. Tomorrow morning you can go home." My mother said.

I couldn't talk. I wish I could. Did my mom mean I could go back home with Amy? Or go home as in go back to Uncle Chuck's house. I didn't worry about it. How long was I out? It felt like I've been sleeping forever! There a clock. It was 9pm! I've been sleeping for over 12 hours!? Did they put me under while I was getting chemo? I had some many question floating around my head now.

"A-Amy..." I whispered.

"She's not here Sonic."

"Am...Ames..."

I reached out towards my mom. She started to cry. My hand touched her cheek. I felt bad for her. I wanted to cry now!

"Dome lie, Ah." I said.

"What's wrong with him?" My mother asked as the doctor came in.

"It's a side affect. He won't able to talk for a while."

"He see's Amy and not his own mother!"

"That's another a side affect. It makes people see what they want to see."

My hand fell to my side. My head hung and everything went black for me. I couldn't fell anything anymore.

"We'll do one more round." The doctor said.

I was dead asleep. I couldn't feel anything. Everything was so quite. I had dreams about Amy and I. The dance contest. I had to be there for Amy.


"Can I please leave now!?" I yelled throwing the covers off of me.

"I just have to sigh you out." Uncle Chuck said.

I got out of the hospital bell. I didn't feel weak anymore! But that would change in a few seconds. Uncle Chuck and I went the first floor of the hospital. He made me sit down in a chair. My head started to spin. My hands started to shake. I looked out the door. My eyes went wide.

A-Amy..." I whispered.

I saw Amy standing outside of the hospital. She had balloons in her hands. She let go off the balloon and let it float away. She turned her head and waved at something. Wait, did she get a new best friend!? She wasn't waving at me. Maybe she didn't see me. Maybe she was just slapping a bug away. She turned her head back around and looked at me. She smiled and motion me over to her. I got from my seat and walked towards Amy.

Alright Sonic, we're-"

Uncle Chuck looked behind him. I wasn't there. Uncle Chuck looked at the doors and saw me walking out of the hospital. He ran after me, but it he stopped in his tracks. He covered his ears as I screamed.

"SONIC!" Yelled Uncle Chuck.

I was laying the streets. Blood was pouring out of me. I think I just got hit by a car... I looked at the sky. It was so blue. I saw Uncle Chuck runs towards me from the corner of my eye. It's a good thing I'm right outside a hospital.

"What were you thinking, Sonic!?" Yelled Uncle Chuck as nurses came out.

"...Ames..."

My eyes closed and I couldn't wake up.

This whole day was messed up. I swear. I had chemo all day. I moved to a different state. It's a new start. Not really, but I have no friends. My friends don't know where I went. I don't know where I'm headed next. I'm lost. I'm scared. I can't go on anymore. I'm done fighting this battle.

I can see the light.
