Ch. 8 Without a Answer
I woke up and sat up in my bed. I stretched and got up. I took a quick shower and threw on a pair of jeans, a quarter sleeved light purple shirt with paint splatters on it and my light brown boots. I curled my quills and put on my contacts. I walked downstairs and went to the kitchen. My mom and John were in there. I noticed my mom holding her small baby bump. My mom looked at me disappointingly. "Good morning Amy," she said.
"Morning," I replied, grabbing an apple.
"Oh Audrey, did your daughter tell you she was about to make physical contact in school like three times this week," John said as I was pouring myself some milk. My mother looked at me sternly. "No she did not," she replied. I looked at her confused.
"What? He said almost," I said.
"Kissing during school hours is against student code," John said, crossing his arms.
"We didn't kiss."
"You were about to kiss him," my mother asked. I shook my head. "Why are you guys making such a big deal out of this," I asked.
"Because you're sneaking around with him. Bring him home, let us meet him, invite him to dinner. I'm sure his little sister would enjoy a little taste of a family feeling."
"I'm not sneaking around with him. We've been together for a week. We haven't been around each other a lot."
"So, who are you always laughing with over the phone?"
"My friend Cream. The bunny remember?"
"Oh yes. Nice girl."
"Sonic just calls me to let Crystal say goodnight to me. He's not the type where we have to call each other all the time. It's better to meet up."
"I see. Where are you going today?"
"Sonic's going to take me to his house. Crystal's been dying for someone to play karaoke with her." John frowned.
"You're not going anywhere with him," he said.
"Yes I am."
"Not if I say you're not."
"You're not my father, why should I listen to you?"
"Because I'm adopting you." My jaw almost hit the floor. I looked at my mom, shocked. She smiled.
"Oh no! You are not adopting me!" John held his stern look.
"The papers are getting processed. Your mother already agreed."
"Don't I have a say in this?" I heard two honks from outside. Sonic. I shook my head and walked out the kitchen. "Amy," my mom yelled. I heard footsteps behind me. John grabbed my arm just when I was about to open the door. "Let go," I yelled. My mom saw John gripping my arm. "Amy, you are not going anywhere," she yelled. I kicked John in his leg. He released me and I quickly opened the door and ran out to the blue Porsche in the driveway. I got in. "Drive," I said. Sonic obeyed, but he looked surprised. "In a hurry," he asked when we were crossing off my street.
"John is going to adopt me," I replied.
"Oh. You don't want him to replace your father?"
"He'll never be my father."
"He's a jerk anyway."
"What are you talking about?"
"He's the one who got the little house me and Crystal live in now. He paid the bills and everything, but when me and you started to get closer: he dropped everything. I've been working two jobs after school since then."
"What? Why would he do that? Let me help you."
"No Amy, I can't let you do that."
"Why not?"
"Because you're my girlfriend and I don't want you to donate money to me. I'm fine with the bills."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay. So, how was your morning?"
"My mom showed up with him." His hands clenched on the steering wheel.
"Sorry."
"They wanted Crystal back, saying how I'm only a teenager and raising a child. They kept putting me down, but that didn't stop me from getting their butts out my face."
"Well, I think Crystal's doing fine considering she's being raised by a teenager. A wise teenager at that." I smiled. Sonic smiled too. We pulled up to this small house. It was on a street surrounded with other houses. I got out the car and ran into Sonic's arms. Hugging him. Feeding off his body warmth. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. "Ames," he said. I looked up at him and he kissed me. His kisses were so sweet. He pulled away after a few minutes. He walked me up the walkway and into the house. Everything seemed normal. The hallway was small and led into a small kitchen. On my left was a small living room with a couch and TV. On my right was the staircase and overlooking it was the dining room. "You like it," Sonic asked. I nodded.
"Seems comfy," I said. He led me up the stairs. There were four doors. Two of them had small white boards on them. One had Crystal's name on it with little flower and heart designs. The door across from it had Sonic's name on it with flames on it. I walked to Crystal's door and opened it a bit. Her room was painted a light turquoise with baby blue curtains. Dressers and a small bed with flowers on them were in there. I saw Crystal in her bed, sleeping with her thumb in her mouth. I smiled at her and shut the door. I looked at Sonic. "Your room next," I asked. He smirked and opened the door. His room was a dark blue color with an unmade bed, messy closet, clean drawers, and a desk with a laptop on it. A blue rug was down. I walked in and Sonic followed me. Pictures were taped all over his wall. I walked up and saw one of him when he was little. He was smiling, standing next to an older hedgehog that looked just like him. "Is that your dad," I asked, pointing to the older hedgehog. He nodded. He looked sad. I kissed him. He kissed me back, carefully this time. He pulled away first. "You know I'm here for you right," I asked, grabbing his hand. He nodded and smiled. "Of course I do, Ames," he said. He led me back downstairs and into the living room. He plopped down on the couch and I sat down on his lap, leaning so that my head would rest on his chest.
"This is nice," I said after sonic wrapped his arms around me, pulling my closer to him.
"Yea it is," he replied. I snuggled into him, his body so warm. I felt my eyes drooping and they dropped into darkness.
I opened my eyes. I was laying on the couch, a blanket on me. I must have fallen asleep. I got up as a smell of food hit my nose. I walked into the kitchen and saw Sonic leaning near the stove. Crystal was at the kitchen table, coloring. Sonic was watching her before he looked at me. He smiled. "Hey sleeping beauty," he teased. I blushed. "Well your lap was pretty comfortable," I teased back. He blushed too. Crystal looked disgusted. "Can you guys just get a room already," she said. I laughed at her comment. I looked at the clock to see it was past ten o' clock. I was dead.
"Um, I need to go. I'll see you guys," I said, hurrying out the door. Sonic followed me. "Amy, wait up," he said, grabbing my arm gently. I stopped and turned toward him. He looked worried. "What's the rush," he asked.
"Have you not noticed the time?"
"Oh right."
"I've got to go. I'll call you when I get home."
"But we barely spent any time together."
"I know and I'm sorry I fell asleep. I'll see you on Monday, okay," I said before running down the walkway and up the street. I ran all the way home. I unlocked the door and braced myself for the fury.
"Where have you been Amelia," my mother said, the second my foot stepped in the door. I shut the door behind me and walked up to her and John who were sitting on the living room couch. "At Sonic's house, but I fell asleep," I explained.
"You were tired," John asked suspiciously.
"Yea, I mean, I didn't sleep well last night so."
"Amelia, you know you're not supposed to fall asleep at your boyfriend's house," my mom said.
"You never made up that rule mom."
"Well now I did, and you were grounded."
"I don't even get why I'm being punished."
"Just go up to your room."
"I bet if I was hanging out with Cream you would let me go."
"You're hanging out with her tomorrow aren't you?"
"Yea, so what?"
"Splendid, I look forward to seeing you having a little girl time for once." I shook my head and went to my room. I have had a lot of girl time. I just didn't tell my mom about it.
Cream started painting my nails a bright red color. "Do you think your boyfriend will become your husband? Explain why," I read from the girl activity book Cream had bought over. She shrugged.
"I don't know because we're just starting out and nothing has really been going on," she said. We were sitting on my bed listening to the radio. We were painting each other's nails, asking questions. I had painted Cream's nails a bright yellow orange.
"What about you Amy?"
"Maybe, because he's so open with me. There's nothing we can't talk about."
"Awesome."
"Okay, if you could choose anywhere for your first kiss to be, where would you choose?"
"In the tunnel of love."
"A beach while watching the sun set."
"Such a romantic."
"Well I just can't help it." She laughed as she finished my last nail. She looked up at me.
"Can I ask you something," she asked, getting serious.
"Sure, anything," I replied. I was getting worried. Something must have been wrong for her to get this serious.
"How did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"To get Sonic? He's bound to you like a moth, but Tails sometimes drifts."
"Just be yourself. Maybe he can get a little intimidated when you show up in your flashy outfits with all the makeup."
"Okay, then it's back to flouncy t shirts and skirts for me."
"Now, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"If you suddenly ran off mysteriously, do you think Tails would be mad at you?"
"Maybe a little, but more disappointed. Why? Did you do that to Sonic?"
"Yes, but I didn't mean to. I fell asleep and by the time I woke up, it was a little after ten and I was dead already."
"He'll understand."
"Hopefully."
"So, what are you wearing to the Winter Wonderland?" And just like that we went on to a discussion of dresses. At least I knew Cream wouldn't dwell on such a gloomy subject.
A little sonamy fluff and i just had to put some best friend/sister stuff in this story to helpl amy through her situations. Cream just seems like the best choice as a best friend for her which is my opinion. It's just she's so nice and you can depend on her. Plus, their boyfriends are best friends so that makes a difference too. Anyway PLEASE REVIEW!
