Author's Note- Yay reviewers =). SonicAmy4ever, don't worry that wasn't the last of him ;). Do you guys think this story can make it big? I hope so! I can't do it without you all so I always say thank you! ENJOY =D!

Since that night, Sonic and Amy's relationship only got worse.

As the weeks went by, Amy became completely dedicated to shunning Sonic.

At first, Sonic still continued to keep his cool and try to get to the bottom of Amy's cold behavior. After all, no one TRULY hated him. It was only a matter of time before she gave up her facade.

However, it soon occurred to Sonic that it wasn't happening.

Amy continued to lash out at him or give him the cold shoulder EVERY work night and even around campus.

Word started to go around about the two, courtesy of the bat in the weight room.

Amy Rose was known around as the girl who Sonic couldn't crack and the girl he couldn't get into his bed.

While Amy never heard the gossip, having some of the most demanding classes on campus, Sonic heard it as soon as it was spread and he wasn't happy to say the least.

Amy's friends had known but didn't tell her because each one of them knew how stressed she already was with her classes. Besides, she probably wouldn't have cared about what people had to say.

Sonic had actually started to become frustrated and it didn't help that some of the guys would ask him things like, "Did you get pinky yet?" or "What's taking so long?".

At the peak of everyone's studies, it came to a point where Sonic was no longer joking with her or wondering what was wrong with her.

He hadn't done anything to her for her to keep treating him the way she was. No girl ever treated him the way she did. He realized that he couldn't win no matter what.

Amy noticed when he changed and it only encouraged her to shun him and insult him even further. The more Sonic showed that he didn't care anymore was the more Amy pushed at him. The more Amy pushed at him, the less he said.

He had his limits and Amy had certainly surpassed them with her attitude. It was becoming too much for him.

Everyone knew that tensions were high between the two hedgehogs and everyone knew something bad was bound to happen.

Soon enough, it reached the boiling point.

"It's the last night of work honey! Are you excited?"

"I can't wait to be finished with it trust me…"

"Alright, your last assignment is at the pool so go back to your dorm and get a swimsuit."

"Uhh ok, thank you!"

But why do I need a swimsuit…it's winter…

Amy opened the double doors and entered the pool room with thick sweatpants, sneakers, a thick pea coat, and a simple knitted hat.

Man it's hot in here! Feels like summer in this room!

Amy started to strip some of her clothing off. First, she took off her hat and coat. Then she took off her sneakers and socks. She took off her sweatshirt, revealing a tight, white t-shirt covering her pink bikini top.

She heard the door open behind her and inwardly growled knowing who it had to be.

Not wanting to waste any time Sonic simply said,

"You have put more chlorine in the pool, secure all of the lane ropes, and sift the entire pool."

Amy wordlessly went into the closet and grabbed the supplies to get started.

Meanwhile, Sonic sat down in a chair by the edge of the pool. He took off all of his clothing except for a white wife beater and black and white swimming trunks.

He silently watched as Amy took off the remainder of her clothing. As she took off her sweatpants, she looked over in his direction with a face warning him to look away.

Sonic just continued to stare at her and then Amy stormed over to him.

"Stop looking at me like I'm some piece of meat!"

"Well I AM quite the DOG according to you so why not?"

Amy paused. Already she was so disgusted with his behavior and it showed all over her face. He just didn't care about anything anymore!

"Keep it up and see if I don't slap the shit outta you. I've been wanting to do it ALL semester."

This got Sonic a little ticked. He wanted to avoid this for tonight. He wanted to have just one night where they wouldn't argue. He wanted this last night to be peaceful.

He was so accustomed to staying quiet and saying only what he needed to but enough was enough. She ALWAYS found something that warranted her anger against him.

He would give her a REAL reason to be angry.

"All semester? Or just after the freshman dance?"

What is he trying to get at…

"What are you talking about?"

"That's funny. NOW you don't know what I'm talking about. How convenient? Was it really that long ago that you don't remember?"

"Remember what!"

"Amy don't act like you don't recall a time when you were all into me, grinding all over me. Then suddenly you switched like a light. Don't you remember Amy?"

Amy was NOT happy. She was SEETHING for two reasons. One, he was forcing her to remember a time she regretted. Two, he was ACTUALLY succeeding in hurting her feelings.

How dare he use that against her? He was such a slimy jerk! How could she have even thought...

"I HATE YOU!"

"Join the club babe."

"YOU'RE A FUCKING JERK! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE LONELY!"

"Like you?"

Amy felt such an incredible burst of anger that she lunged forward and aimed to push Sonic off of the chair.

She had managed to jerk the chair around but she wasn't strong enough to actually get him off. The moment had happened so fast. Sonic grabbed her wrists to restrain her and got up from his chair.

"What the fuck is your problem Amy! This is all you do 24/7!"

"LET GO OF ME!"

"So you could attack me? I don't think so. You need to calm down."

Amy only continued to groan and struggle against him. Since she had no words, Sonic continued.

"All I ever wanted to do was get to know you. It was fun at first but then you turned into a jealous nut! Yeah that's right, I know you saw me and Lexy back then."

Amy stopped struggling.

"Jealous? You really think this is jealously?", Amy said with an eerie calmness.

"Either THAT or you're a miserable VIRGIN who hates the idea of anyone having sex. "

"I'm not a VIRGIN for your information! And yes I fucking HATE you! You're truly a dumb ass to believe that I'm jealous over a basic SLUT! I'm used to people like you so IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME!"

Amy yelled with such passion and emotion that she didn't realize that tears were building up in her eyes.

Visions came to her of a certain red hedgehog a year ago.

"He always lied to your dumb ass and he did have sex with me that night of the spring formal."

"He lied to you since day one! You're such a dumb bitch!"

"She's such a stupid bitch for believing you actually looooved her and cared for her. What does she think this is Disney?"

Then the words of the red one's lover who was also her own, rang through her head.

"Haha, it's always so easy with girls like her."

"You're just like HIM!"

Amy pulled out of Sonic's grip. Before he could protest, he was halted when he looked at Amy and saw tears fall from her eyes.

"Just like who?"

"DEAN!", she cried.

"You say that like I know who he is."

"I HATE YOU SONIC! GO AWAY!"

How many times would she say that? He was just trying to find out who he was and possibly help her but fine! She hated him? Fine then! What more could he lose?

"Why don't you stop behaving like a little child. Do I have to call your mother?"

Amy's whole world stopped. She stood still. Her head hung low and her shoulders drooped. The only moving thing was her chest from breathing and the tears that sipped down her face and dripped from the tip of her nose.

In an instant, Sonic was sorry. He noticed her sudden change in demeanor. He expected her to yell at him or to attack him. He hadn't expected THIS.

It was then that Sonic knew he went too far.

He didn't want this anymore and he regretted how he treated her. He was just so angry and it wasn't even directly at Amy.

Her tears had done something to him. All angry feelings were gone and replaced with a whole array of different feelings.

His features softened.

Then something suddenly occurred in Sonic's mind that would explain why Amy's demeanor suddenly changed.

What if...she didn't have a mom?

"Amy…"

He reached over to touch her but she pulled herself back so suddenly that the force made her slip back into the pool.

She screamed.

"AMY!"

Sonic immediately jumped in after her.

Amy had no trouble getting up because she didn't fall in the deep end but she found herself in Sonic's arms.

"LET ME GO!", Amy yelled.

She didn't care anymore. She cried and let it all out. She was stressed, embarrassed, ashamed, upset, disappointed, and DEFEATED.

"Amy, I'm so sorry.", Sonic said in a soothing voice.

"LET ME GO SONIC!"

She was honestly trying to get away from him but he held her tightly to him. He had to have been a kidnapper in a past life.

"Please listen to me Amy, I'm really sorry."

"JUST LET ME GO!"

Sonic continued to hold her from behind in an embrace while she struggled in his arms trying to get away.

Once she realized that she wasn't going to get away she simply continued to cry.

"I HATE YOU SONIC!"

"I know, you should."

"PLEASE LET ME GO."

"I won't Amy. I know what it's like."

Amy struggled enough to turn herself around in his arms. Her rage was ignited again.

"YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!"

"Amy…I don't have my mother either."

The rage was gone just like that. Amy stopped struggling and it was completely silent aside from the left over waves of water.

"What?"

"I don't have my mother."

Silence.

"My mom died while I was in high school. She had heart issues and I didn't even notice. I was too busy dedicating my time to a jackass who..."

She couldn't continue. She trembled so Sonic instinctively pulled her in tighter.

"My dad cheated on her when I was about 8 years old. He left and I never saw him again…"

Sonic was never more sorry than he was now. He had NO idea that Amy was ever in that situation.

He felt obligated to explain his own situation but he NEVER spoke about it. It was just something he learned to repress and ignore. Never had he thought to disclose his situation to someone, let alone a girl. None of them ever cared to know that much about him and neither of them would have understood anyway.

"My mom…she died because..."

Amy looked up at Sonic in shock. Fresh tears fell from her reddened face as she searched his for any emotion. He was struggling. This was something very serious to him. He wouldn't look her in the eye. He embraced her to his chest where she couldn't see anything anymore.

"My father beat her."

Amy gasped and wanted to break from the embrace to look at him but Sonic wouldn't allow it.

"Last thing I ever heard was that he was in jail for life. Hopefully he's dead by now."

Amy couldn't believe how nonchalant Sonic sounded. Nevertheless she stayed still and felt Sonic adjust his hold on her so that his arms rested underneath her arms. He no longer intended to restrain her and oddly enough, Amy still didn't pull away. Instead, her own arms wrapped themselves around him.

"I stayed in a child services home until I was 18. Then they paid for me to go to college."

Sonic and Amy held each other tight in each other's arms.

She started to cry again into his chest.

He rested his head on her dripping head of quills.

"Sonic…how do you…how do you go on?"

The soft, sudden sound of her voice took him out of his trance.

"I had no choice. I just do Amy."

Or maybe that's what the whole player thing is about…

Sonic could feel Amy's hot tears on his chest even though he was already wet. She was still crying.

He lifted her chin to look up at him.

"Listen Amy, I'll be here for you whenever you need to talk."

"Do you promise?"

"I promise…"

Sonic leaned down and softly kissed her lips.

Amy pulled away as if she were burned. She seemed shocked more than anything.

At any other moment, she would have probably slapped him, called him a rapist, and stormed away. But this moment was VERY different.

He looked at her expression and understood.

"Please Amy?"

He looked her in her eyes. She didn't falter and stared right back at him.

For the first time, Amy noticed how drained he looked. There were darker circles under his eyes and he was paler. He looked so stressed and for an instant she felt sorry that perhaps she was a part of it. He must have not enjoyed coming to work all of those nights and dealing with her behavior.

She had to give him credit too. For a while, he didn't lash back at her and actually seemed concerned but just like everyone else he eventually gave up.

Now he was offering something to her that no one ever did. He would simply listen to her.

Sonic moved in to kiss her softly again and felt her lips join more willingly with his.

Just this once she would give in.

At first they seemed to share light kisses. It was as if they were feeling each other out and testing boundaries.

Sonic was the one to push through the first boundary.

His tongue licked on her bottom lip for entrance which she hesitantly allowed. Sonic used his hands to cradle her face in the perfect angle to kiss her. His tongue explored her own and she was surprisingly not as dominant as he expected.

If Amy thought about it, she could have commented on how minty he tasted and how cliche it was but she didn't expect any less from Sonic THE Hedgehog.

Slowly but surely she was getting more into it and somehow her arms had found their way around Sonic's neck.

Sonic pulled away to slip off his wife beater. Amy used the quick break to take off her own t-shirt, exposing her hot pink bikini top.

The two were down each other's throats all semester, not recognizing their pent up sexual attraction. Neither could deny that it felt so right when it should have been wrong.

Once they resumed, their kissing got louder, more frantic, and more passionate.

Sonic braced Amy up against the side of the pool while he pulled her waist closer to his groin.

This is bad! I don't like him this way right? We need to stop!

Sonic continued to tongue wrestle with her as he kept grinding himself against Amy. In return, Amy wrapped her legs around his waist. She felt how aroused he was and unconsciously moaned into his mouth.

NO! NO! NO! THIS HAS TO STOP! IT HAS TO!

Sonic broke the kiss to whisper into her ear,

"Is this ok?"

Sonic started to kiss on her neck.

I DON'T WANT TO LIKE THIS!

Amy lightly exhaled and hung on to Sonic's neck.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

He whispered again,

"Do you want to stop?"

YES!

"Keep going.", she whispered breathlessly.

"Are you sure?"

NO!

"Yes."

Sonic proceeded to lick and kiss on Amy's neck. It made Amy moan out loud.

No! Shut Up!

Sonic seemed to be encouraged by the sounds so he increased the pressure by feeling on her inner thighs and getting dangerously close to her sacred area.

Why does this feel so good? It didn't feel this way before…

Amy brought his face up to hers and kissed him hungrily as her hands tangled in his wet quills. Then they traveled up and down his wet body. She felt every crevice of his chiseled abs and pecks.

Sonic's mind told him to just strip her right there but then he suddenly stopped.

"Amy…", Sonic whispered against Amy's lips.

She noticed his breathing was shaky and she could smell the minty scent his breath gave off. He HAD to have brushed his teeth before he came or just finished chewing some gum.

"Yeah…"

"You didn't even start the job."

"I know."

"Come on let's finish it together."

He gave her one last sweet kiss and then hopped out the pool.

She was a bit dumbfounded. Why did he stop just like that? Did she do something wrong?

Sonic seemed to notice her contemplation and smiled. He already knew her so well. He helped her up and without a word they got the supplies to do what they originally came to do.
