Chapter Ten: Don't Forget About Us
(Amy P.O.V)
(Don't forget about us)
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy...
[.Puwait Medical Clinic.]
*Beep* Beep* Beep* Beep* Beep*
The constant sounds of a medical equipment monitoring the heart rate and other things are heard inside an Intensive Care Unit. Many other machines are currently monitoring bodily functions such as bodily functions and breathing. The patient laying in the bed has several tubes going through his arm, his face, and as well as other sensitive areas.
A thick hospital blanket covers up to his chest and down to the rest of the bed over his feet. Two more blankets cover the one on top of that to make sure he would be extra warm, since the room is kept at a low temperature at almost all times. Underneath all the rest of the blankets, he's wearing a standard hospital garb and cozy black hospital socks.
Finally, a long feeding tube goes into his mouth as he can not eat for himself. It seems that anyone who would walk in would have one name that came to mind as the reason for all this special equipment around him. His body is unmoving and unresponsive to everything that's around him which makes the answer to his dilemma all the more clear. He's been like this for at least five hours and hasn't moved an inch or anything. He's in a-
Coma...
The door leading the room inside slowly opens and closes as a I carefully walks inside. I softly walk into view of the bed and the male laying on it. I am immediately taken aback by the sight of him like this and nearly falls back onto the floor. Using all I strength I have, I walk closer and closer to the bed. Each step I take, it gets harder to keep going. My legs feel like they weigh a ton as I forces herself to reach him.
I stop at the edge of the bed and looks over the male. Scanning his dark blue hair, muscled features, tanned skin, and his eyes that remain closed even to her presence in the room. My eyes narrow into a frown full disappointment, they quickly look away to the floor.
"Sonic.."
I'm so sorry... this... is all my fault...
If I had only kept my mouth shut and kept my anger under control like I've done for so long. Why did I decide to let it all out right then?
Paige... and her mother! It's their fault I lost my cool in there, but... I can't help but feel it's mostly mine!
With the memories of the events leading up to this moment flooding into my mind...
xx0X0X0X0xx
At the Kuwaii's Bridal and Groom Store... when I got through yelling all I needed to yell at Paige and the others, we all heard Jake screaming for help outside the door. Sonic passed out and hit his head on something... hard. I screamed, Paige screamed, Mina screamed, Chanel screamed because I was screaming... everyone screamed basically. We were all hysterical, in shock of what happened. Luckily, my mother and the older adults were there to take control of the situation as Zero and Becky ran to call for help while the rest of us tried to get Sonic to wake up.
Scourge and the others heard the commotion and quickly ran our way. They were in shock as well and helped us to get Sonic up from the ground and to lay on sofa inside of the bridal room. I got right next to him and shook him back and forth trying to get up him.
Didn't work.
We all called his name and told him to wake up.
Didn't work.
Chanel even threw water on him.
Didn't work.
Nothing we tried worked. He was still out cold and unresponsive to us as we called to him. Everyone was wondering what caused him to fall out like that, but I... almost immediately knew what caused it. Me... spilling everything about his past in one breath! The shock must have been too much to him and...
For fifteen minutes, we kept on doing different things to wake him up, until the ambulance arrived to pick him up.
We had him taken here, the Puwait Medical Clinic, where Doctor Loreen works, because she knows about our situation more than anyone else. Once she examined him in the examination room, she determined that he was in critical condition. He was out cold and still not responding or reacting to whatever we did to try to wake him up.
She could tell what had overcome him as we told her what happened leading up to his passing out...
"I see... "She said in a worried toned as her eyes averted us. "Oh dear, this is not good."
"What?" We all asked at once.
Doctor Loreen sighed sadly and folded her arms. "A coma... he's in a coma."
As soon as those words left her mouth, we all literally broke down. I lost, Paige lost it... everyone. We couldn't believe it at all as Doctor Loreen explained how it happened...
"Also... since this sudden replenish of his memory in such a short time when it should have happened gradually... there is a possibility that his memory could be gone forever... even recent memories in the past year." Doctor Loreen voice lowered a bit.
"W-what?" Paige gasped as she covered her hands. Mariah, Abby, Jake, Calvin, Dante, and the rest of Alina's family were all in shock along with her.
Abby, usually all perky and such, had a noticable look of worry on her face. "No.."
"How can this be happening..?" Calvin questioned.
The whole waiting room was hardly quiet, because each of us had our own words of disbelief. Rosy, Scourge, Chanel, Mina, and Robbie, and Kuroi stood near me. Scar stood next to the door. Tails held Cream in his arms as they both sat in the corner. Becky and Zero sat next to each other. Bliss was sitting down with her head in her lap with Melody beside her and rubbing her back. We all know why she was feeling that way.
She had lost her fiance and now I was... on the brink of losing mine.
Lucrecia, Alina, Julian, and the Elders were talking to Doctor Loreen still. And Darren sat by himself and was excluded from all of us, but who cared?
The only person on everyone's mind was... Sonic!
I stood back in disturbance from the doctor's own words and my own deep thoughts as she and the adults stood back to let us all soak in the information. "N-no way..." Rosy caught me in her arms to console me. Behind her Scourge, held her also to comfort her as she did me.
"Y-you aren't being serious?" Robbie asked as he stood up from his seat. "That's not.. possible. Bro... no!" The fox ran out of the waiting room to go outside.
Manic cursed to himself and ran after him. "Robbie, wait up!"
We all watched them go feeling quite bad and upset ourselves.
Doctor Loreen sighed sadly. "I'm sorry... but it's the truth. I'm not even sure if he'll wait up from the coma he's in-"
I didn't want to hear anymore of it. I turned away and started to run my way out of the hospital as Robbie had done, but Paige grabbed me by my arm. She pulled me back to face her as tears stream down my eyes.
"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO RUN AWAY, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, SO YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE AND-" Her voice broke as she shook me back and forth. Tears quickly ran down her face as she wiped them away. I was doing the same as I could felt everyone's eyes on the both of us.
"Don't you know think I know that? T-that's why..." My head shook. "I can't bear to see him in the hospital bed like that! And knowing he might lose his memory forever... and even die... I just can't!"
Paige's grip on shoulders tightened as she narrowed her eyes toward my own. "Me either! I've seen him in one before hoping that I would never have to again in my life! But you don't see me going anywhere! You, however, are running out of here like a scared little girl, when you should be here, if he's really your so-called-boyfriend!"
"W-what..?" I was a bit startled to hear that coming from her.
Paige could tell and she turned her back to me in a hurry. "Look at you! I'm here, and you're trying to leave! Doesn't sound like he's really your boyfriend at all!"
My blood was on fire. I was ready to burst once again like earlier, but I knew I had to keep my anger from taking me over again. I mean, look where it got me? I sighed and turned my back to her like she did me. "He is! You were just a damn substitute all this time!"
"A WHAT? HOW DARE YOU? BECAUSE OF YOU, HE MAY NOT REMEMBER ANY OF US! OR EVEN WAKE UP!" Paige screamed as her friends around her tried to get her to calm down. Doctor Loreen reminded us that we were standing right outside Sonic's room, so we had to speak quieter. Mariah, Abby, and Calvin had to hold her back from trying to hit me. My sister, Scourge, Mina, and Chanel all came to my side to calm my emotions.
"Sis, calm down."
"Yeah, don't get all upset again, baby boo.." Chanel hugged up against my arm.
"I am calm." I told them both. I knew they were both worried about me, obviously, but someone else right then deserved to be in their minds more than me!
Scourge frowned at me. "Amy!"
"What?"
"Stop lying. I can see it in your eyes and the way you're acting." He told me as his icy eyes looked into mine. I turned away from him and folded my arms.
"Whatever you say."
He sighed and shook his head at me. "Just answer this, Amy, are you ready for the possibility of my brother's memory being gone forever? Forgetting you, the kids, his family, and friends or even worse... dying.. forreal this time."
"I..." I wasn't, but the words didn't leave my mouth.
I wasn't ready for any of that. How could I be? How could I possibly know that things would turn out this way? If I did then... If I knew this would happen-
I shook my head without answering him as I looked around the room. By my response, he knew it was better for him to back off to let me be alone. It felt like my entire world was crumbling around me. Like my heart was shattering into millions of tiny pieces again, and this time...
It probably couldn't be fixed! My arms wrapped around my body as I shut my eyes tight to keep the tears from falling.
Scar walked over to me from his place on the wall, and he pulled me to him. "Princess."
"W-what is it?"
"He needs you right now. Don't let the possibility of him dying or losing his memory of you guys, get to you. It's only a possibility, you hear me?"
"Scar..."
For the first time in her whole time knowing him, he smiled at me. "Believe in the possibility that he will wake up, and he will remember you and the rest of them, alright?"
"O-kay." I managed to conjured up a smile and hug him as he hugged me right back. I wanted to believe that so bad. That Sonic wouldn't die! That he wouldn't lose his memory. It's all I have left afterall.
"He wont forget about us... I know he wont... forget about me."
Mina walked up to me next. "Remember what I said too, Amy? He would never forget about you, and he wont."
I smiled even brighter. "Y-yeah!"
I guessed our conversation was loud enough so that everyone heard it because...
"THIS IS STILL ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT, YOU PINK FUR BALL!" Paige screamed as she broke away from Mariah and Abby's grasp.
"What?" Scar and Mina grabbed my arms to hold me back as she stormed up to me.
"Amy, don't."
I tried to listen to him, but Paige continued to yell directly into my face. She was so close that I could feel her breath brush against my skin.
"..." I held my tongue and only stared at her. Lucrecia and Alina stood off to the side as they watched us. I guessed my mom still had the notion 'It's not our problem, let them work it out' in her mind.
"Why don't you say anything now? You sure had a lot to yell at me about when we were trying on dresses!" Paige questioned me.
I gripped my fist and stepped to her as Scar continued to hold onto me. "You're pushing it-"
Doctor Loreen stepped in between us before either one of us could do any harm to each other. "I think it's time for 'Ty' to have some visitors, but one at a time, please. He's still asleep and in a critical state, so we don't want to have too many in at once."
"Me!" Myself and Paige both yelled at once. We glared at once another.
She looked at us both and sighed with an unsure look on her face. The decision is a bit difficult for her to handle. "Since... Princess Amelia and friends came to me first about the situation about 'Ty' almost a month ago, the logical choice would be to pick her to go first. And then you, Princess Paige. I'm sorry."
I felt my heartbeat quicken for a few seconds. "Yes!" Scar's hand let me go, and I looked back at him.
"Go to him... and remember what I said."
I smiled and nodded. "I will."
"Oh, typical! Let the one who started all this see him first!" Paige stormed out of waiting room and down the hall. Mariah and Abby went after her while the rest of us stayed behind.
"Paige, wait up!"
"Slow down!"
I payed no attention to her remark asDoctor Loreen directed me towards his room while Scar, Rosy, Scourge, and the rest watched after me, but for some reason, I couldn't get it out of my mind. As I walked to the door to enter Sonic's room, I could feel Darren's eyes as they stared me down like he was looking right through me.
Full of hate, anger, and... malevolence. The very sight of his venomous eyes made me shudder in the dress I was wearing.
But I didn't care... All I cared about at that time was... Sonic...
xx0X0X0X0xx
Paige's voice rings inside my head. 'Oh, typical! Let the one who started all this see him first!'
Aaagh! I'm sorry! I'm s-so... sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen... not like this. Not now when we've come so far.
I didn't know you were standing outside the door listening in on us, Sonic! If I'd know that, then-
"No... It's too late... what's done is done."
I can't change a thing... the only thing I can't do now is wait and believe you'll get through this! I hope we all will.
I gently shake my head as I push myself to sit in the chair that sits beside the bed. I only look down at my lap as my ears and head lower in shame. For a while, I listen to the monitor beeping in silence and the sound of a whoosh from another medical machine connected to him.
"It's all my fault.. now he's in a coma because of me..." My head finally looks up to see him still laying in the bed with the equipment doing everything for him that he needed to stay alive. I couldn't help those guilty thoughts from penetrating my head again.
I bites my bottom lip as my eyes begin to water again. My eyes are already red and puffy from earlier, so this is only making it worse.
How I can still be crying so much? I should be cried out by now...
As tears pour out from my eyes, I rest my head on the edge of the bed for comfort. My hand reaches to take his unmoving hand into mine.
"You can't die on me! You just can't! We've come too far, you were starting to remember us, and... you can't forget me after all we've been through! You can't die! If y-you do then... then... I'll hate myself for the of my life for letting this happen!"
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
"Please wake up and get better! Remember everyone.. Remember me!" My voice breaks as I start to cough from the lack of oxygen from talking and crying so much. "I love you so much! You can't just leave me like this! If you leave me then you don't love me!"
As I sit there crying and shaking on the edge of his bed, he seemingly stirs in his coma like state. This slight movement raises my alarm. My head darts up to see him making a sour face.
"Wha..?"
Why is he looking like that? Is it because of what I said?
Could he possibly hear-
The door leading into the room opens without a warning. "Are you alright?" Doctor Loreen walks into the room and stands next to me to rub her hands on my back in a soothing motion.
"Yeah.. I'm holding on."
"That's good. I'm much more at ease at seeing you doing that." The doctor said at first.
I smile back and wipe my eyes of the tears and sit up straight. "Hey, ummm... can I ask you a question."
"Sure." Doctor Loreen agrees as she checks on Sonic's vital signs as I watch her do so.
"Is is possible for him to hear what I'm saying and maybe.. somehow.. respond to it?"
She stops what she's doing to think for a minute or two before answering. "Mmm.. it could be a sign that he's unconsciously aware of voices around him, but unable to respond. That's a good sign."
"It is?" I ask with my tone full of hope.
She smiled. "Yes, it seems hearing you talk to him the way you did may have uncovered that possibility!"
I feel a blush on my cheeks. "Y-you heard me?"
"E-every word." She confesses to me. "Sorry to listen in on you."
"No, it's fine.. I admit, I was talking a bit loud.." I stand up just as the door leading into the room opens again. My sister and Scourge are standing there.
"Is it alright, if we come in too?" Rosy asks quietly.
"Yes, it would be alright. Afterall, I'm in here too." Doctor Loreen allows it. The two of them walk inside and stand next to me as we all look over Sonic's hospital bed.
Scourge steps away from Rosy to get a bit closer to run his hands through his brother's hair. "Just when I thought you were going to be alright and everything would turn out good... and this happened.." Looking at Sonic, I could see his face slightly change again. That sour face like I had seen before when I was seemingly talking to him.
My sister and I see the pain in his eyes. "Scourge? Are you-"
"I'm fine." He quickly answers her before turning his back to us to hide a few tears running down his face. We hear him breath in before turning back to us.
"We should go home now."
"But-" I start to object.
"Come on, sis. We should go home and rest." Rosy leads me toward the door. "You know you need it."
I reluntectly nod my head and follow her. "Okay.."
Doctor Loreen smiles at the three of us. "I'll make sure to keep a close watch on him tonight, so don't worry. Goodnight."
"Goodnight..."
Goodnight.. Sonic.
Please wake up... soon.
Later, we all go back home with heavy weights on our shoulders. Unfortunately, Mrs. and Mr. Wolfman follow us home and propose an inappropriate suggestion to me and my mother.
That if 'Ty' or Sonic doesn't wake up in time for the wedding on July 25, I will still have to marry Darren no matter what. And if he does wake up, he has to remember me and the rest of the family for the wedding to be canceled.
I couldn't believe it. I wanted to tear them apart for even suggesting that to me and the rest of us! My mother couldn't believe it and tell us all to leave the room, so she can speak to them herself in private. Without her knowing it, or so we thought, we listen in.
She agreed to their request, BUT say if he does wake up and retain his past memory of us and everyone else, the wedding would be off. I literally wanted to run up to her and hug her so tight, but I couldn't because she was still talking to them. The others felt the same way as me. However, there is that one person who destested it. Darren stands off to the side by himself, and as I look his way, he glares at me before going up stairs probably heading to his own room.
I don't pay him any mind whatsoever. I turn back to my sister and friends just as Adda and Razor come running down the stairs. Obviously, they are worried why we'd come back home so late. Scourge and Rosy took them upstairs to explain, just as Paige's family and friends enter in through the front door.
I find out from Mariah and Abby that she decided to stay the night with him. The thought of that makes me a bit worried. I immediatly leave to go up to my room for the rest of the night by myself. I lock my door so that no one can come in. Not even Darren. Now that Sonic is supposedly out of the picture, I just know he would try to come onto me.
That is not happening. I walk into my closet and pull out the box I'd been hiding there for almost a year. I begin to pull out the things that reminded me of him. The koala bear, pictures, the pearl necklace...
I hold them all close to me as I fight the tears from coming again. In my mind, I reach some sort of resolve.
"Whatever it takes.. no matter what. He will wake up and remember me!"
From then on, I make sure to visit Sonic everyday in his hospital bed. On my visits, Doctor Loreen encourages me to bring certain items along with me to somehow feel connected to him again and just in case he wakes up from his coma. I do bring some items, such as the koala bear and sit it by the window next to his bed. My usual spot in the room is the same chair I sat in on the first night he was brought into the clinic.
Paige visits him as often as she can also, and at times, we run into each other. None of us say anything, but go our separate ways. I don't want to speak to her anyway.
For while, Sonic remains in his deep sleep with doctors still looking over him. One day, however, that changes. He actually wakes up while, I was talking to him...
"Sonic.. I really wish you would wake up. Everyone at the house misses you. I miss you, Echo, Coral, Adda, and-"
"Gghh..." Suddenly escapes his mouth.
I jump up from my seat and rush over him. "Sonic? Sonic? Are you waking up? Please! I-"
Slowly, his eyes open to show its dark green color. He groans and is a little bit shocked to see me standing above him. He slightly lifts up his head. "Who are you? Where am I?"
My heart drops.
"W-what's your name?" I ask shakily.
He eyes her strangely. "Ty. Who are you?"
I don't answer him. My body grows still and uneasy. My ears nor my heart couldn't believe what he had just asked me.
How does he not know my name? How can this-
The next thing he asked me sent me over the edge. "Where's Paige?"
"P-paige?" I shake my head as slide down to the floor.
How can he remember her and not me?
How?
Why?
"Are you alright?" I hear him ask me, but I ignore it.
NO! I'M NOT ALRIGHT!
BECAUSE YOU DON'T-
REMEMBER ME!
The doctors must have heard me crying, because in the next few seconds, the door slams open. I see them running toward me and Sonic on the bed. Doctor Loreen picks me up and takes me outside while others attend to him. Outside, she holds me close to her and starts to speak to me.
She encourages me to continue to visit him and telling me that it's only a temporary memory loss. That it would return to him eventually along with the rest of his memory that he'd lost, if I come to talk to him and see him a lot... reminding him. It was important for me not to seem upset in front of him, because it would just cause him confusion.
And that's what I promised myself.. I would pretend like I was fine... the next time I see him. In my heart, I just want to reach out and tell him everything he doesn't remember, but I couldn't.
Now everytime I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
Now, that he's awake and moving on his own somewhat, my number of visits increase. He remains in the hospital, so the doctor's can keep an eye on him and his condition, and he's told what's happened to him. But not everything.
Paige's visits increased as well, when she found out that he asked for her. I didn't let it bother me. I keep on visiting him even if he doesn't seem to remember me at first. Afterall, what more can I do?
I want him to remember me and him so bad. To remember the love we shared, the nights... just everything! I just... want it to all come back to him, so we can be a happy family like we were supposed to be. Sonic always be in my heart no matter what, but...
Why is Paige the only girl in his heart and not me?
Why has he forgotten me... again?
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
When my visits end, I return to my home to face everyone. It's the same thing everytime.
"Nothing knew. He doesn't remember any of us. Only Paige and her family." They all look at me with looks of disappointment. I feel the same way and just head to my room until I decide to visit him again.
For some stupid reason, he only remembers them. Why them? Why not us? His real family...
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Paige's mood seems to be better than mine, because when she comes home from her visit with him, she always has this big smile on her face and a story to tell. I just leave the room and go back up to my room to tend to Echo and Coral or just lay on my bed feeling depressed.
He still only remembers her and not me? I'm supposed to mean more to him than her, but right now... I'm not.
At least for now. At least.. that's what I hope.
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
On one day particular day, on my way to pay him a visit, I happen to arrive on a time that Paige had chosen. I silently opened the door to listen in...
"That girl is no one, Ty." I hear her tell him. I assume she means me. I'm, of course, correct.
"But if she's no one, then why does she visit me everyday and almost cry when she talks to me?" He questions her.
Paige doesn't answer for a few seconds. "W-well, she just a volunteer who comes in to sit and watch over patients!" She lies.
"R-really? She doesn't seem like it."
"Then who does she seem like to you?"
He sighs. "Like someone who supposed to be really important to me.. I think. I mean, that's what my heart is telling me. But my mind is a total blank as for who she really is to me."
"Trust me, Ty. She's a nobody! I'm your girlfriend, remember?"
"I... guess so." His voice sounds a bit unsure in saying it.
Paige giggles softly. "That's good to hear coming from you, Ty." She says his name hard as if she knows that someone's listening to them.
Outside the door, I lean against the wall in deep thought once again. I can't let what she tells him get to me. We both know the truth, and I will be the one to make sure he knows it!
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
Paige is still visiting him and putting thoughts denying me and him into his head. She's deliberately tricking him into thinking I'm some nobody. I'm starting to think he almost believes a word she says about me. But as that thought starts to enter my head, I push it away and remember one thing:
"Whatever it takes... no matter what... He will wake up and remember me!"
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be MC
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
I begin to wonder why Paige would lie to him about me when he clearly thinks differently than her about me. Then I think about it and come up with a correct answer to this. She in loves him just like I am.
She met him under weird circumstances like I did, and... fell in love with him in the process. What girl wouldn't? She's known him for nearly a year and now all these things have happened to pull them apart.
Me!
She feels threatened and the need to keep a tight hold on, because she cares about him.
I understand her feelings and all, but.. she NOT taking him away from me.
Not if I have something to say about it...
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
The day of the wedding is fast approaching causing all of us to worry deeply. The reason for that is because, Sonic recently slipped back into his coma a few days ago and has remained that way since then. I cry as I look over his still body and resume talking to him the same way I had when he was in the coma before.
I still have the hope he will wake up again with his memory fully restored this time!
He just has to.. or Darren will win...
[.Puwait Medical Clinic.]
Weeks later - Around 8:15 p.m...
So much time has passed now, and it's the day before the wedding, July 24th. I make sure to sneak away from the house to get away from the chaos going on at my house and around the island. Along with me, I take along the pearl necklace as I remembered its mysterious powers that its displayed before...
Maybe it could do something for Sonic.
I can only hope now.
I think mentally as I stop right outside of his hospital door. I'm wearing another simple white dress, because it's the last dress he'd seen me wear before he passed out. I smile and squeeze it in the palm of my hand before pushing the door open. To my surprise, he already has a visitor.
"Nicole?"
My eyes narrow at her standing over his bed and close to his IV bag. To the sound of my voice, she drops something on the floor and quickly picks it up to slip it into her purse.
I could have sworn that looked like a needle she dropped, but...
She wouldn't do something like that would she-
"W-what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for your wedding?" Nicole questions me.
I shake my head. "Don't try to turn this all on me! What are you doing here?"
"I-I just came to see how he was doing." She stammers as she starts to inch her way out of the room. My eyes stay on her until her figure completely disappears behind the hospital door.
What in the world made her want to come see him?
I shake the question away and walks toward the bed. Sonic is still, once again, in his deep coma. My hands run across the bed and over his legs.
"Sonic.. are you still there?"
"..." No answer, but I see his face kind of move to the sound of my voice.
So he's doing that again...
I sigh and stand next to him. I gently stroke the side of his face. "I need you now more than ever... Sonic, please wake up again... and remember me. Everyone!"
"..."
Tears well up in my eyes, and they drop onto his hospital blanket. "P-please! Just..." I wipe my eyes and pull out the pearl necklace to hold it up above him. It glows a light-yellow, luminescent color.
It feels so warm, but-
Can this necklace really help me..?
Save Sonic from this?
Carefully, I lay it across his chest. I then lay my head there and hug his body as I can no longer hold the tears from flooding onto him.
"Please, Sonic! Wake up! I need you to wake up! I'll have to marry Darren, if you don't-" I choke for a second. "I don't want to! I hate him so much! He used to beat me, call me names, and r-rape me.. please don't let me have to marry someone like that! All you have to do is wake up and remember me! Simple as that!"
"..." Nothing, but his face shows an angry sort of expression.
I cry out even more as I move closer to his face to peer down at him.
"Please just wake up for me! I thought you loved me, you said you did, so why don't you wake up? You're stronger than all of this! You've proved it so many times. You said you would come back for me! But... Darren will soon have me... and you wont."
"..." It looks like he's frowning this time, but I still get no other type of response.
"Please... tomorrow is the day... the day you disappeared from my life for so long.. and the same day I'll have to marry Darren. He'll be called the father of Echo and Coral! I don't want that, and they don't either! So please wake up for us! I can't sound any more pleading than I already am... I'm so tired."
"..." A look of disapproval on his face now.
"Sonic... I love you so much... I just want you to wake up, so we can be that big happy family we were supposed to be until... I want to feel you hug me... and so much more. To hear you say you love me, kiss me, touch me, make love to me... so please..." My hand lay on top of the pearl necklace just a soft light peeks out through my fingers. I move my face over his and gently. One last tear streams down my face and lands on his cheek.
"Wake up, Sonic.. wake up." My lips slowly part from his...
Darren storms through the hospital door. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"W-what? Darren, what are you-"
I hear the door lock. My head looks up from the bed to see him walking his way towards me to pull me from the bed and slamming me into the wall. My body falls limp to the floor. The wind is knocked out of me. I'm surprised no one heard the noise he just caused.
"Aah!"
He kneels down before me to roughly grab my chin. "What the fuck do you think you're doing kissing him?"
I can hardly answer him, because my head is spinning. So he grabs me again to pick me up and slam me against the wall again, but this time he holds me up.
"I'm your soon to be husband, you cheating bitch!"
"What.. are you talking about? He's not dead!"
He smirks evilly before dropping me to the floor. "Not yet, but he's as good as dead."
My eyes widen as my tears mix with my blood as it runs from my head wound. I look to see him walking towards Sonic bed over to his IV bag. In a few seconds, he turns around.
"What did you just do?"
"Hehe.. finishing something, a certain someone didn't!"
Nicole...
Oh no!
"Please.. Sonic, help-"
Suddenly, his foot kicks me in the stomach as more blood escapes my mouth. "Sonic can't do shit! Didn't I tell you that! He's fucking good as dead!" He continues to kick me and stops when he hears me starting to violently cough.
"No..." The agonizing pain overtakes me and just as I start to pass out, we both hear an alarming sound beeping sound.
What's that-
Something is wrong with him.
On the bed, Sonic begins to move around on the bed in an uneven motion. The machine that's hooked up to him start to beep out of control. I slowly look up to Darren's face to see him smiling before looking back down to me. He picks me up by the arm and drags me to the bathroom that's conveniently located in the room with us.
"Clean yourself up and be quick about it!" He pushes me toward the sink and slams the door. Outside, I can hear him opening the door and yelling for doctors and nurses to come and help, because of the alarm going on in the room. Quickly, I hear the noise of them rushing into the room and yelling orders.
I cry even harder when I hear. "We're losing him!"
"This looks bad."
Looking into the mirror blood drips from my head and into the sink. "I look a mess, but-"
I have to be beside him!
Maybe he'll pull through if he feels me next to him...
I quickly throw the water on myself and wipe the water away with a paper towel. I slam open the bathroom door to see the Doctor Loreen, other doctors, and nurses quickly working on Sonic as the beeping gets louder and louder.
"No.. Sonic!"
I push my way through the doctors and nurses as they move back to let me through. Behind me, Darren leans on the wall with a smirk on his face.
I'm finally able to reach him I grab his hand and squeeze it tight. "NO! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! PLEASE! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, REMEMBER? OUR LOVE IS BIGGER THAN THIS! YOU CAN'T JUST-"
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
In his hands, I can feel his life slipping away from my grip making myself cry even more. "Don't leave me again! Don't leave me! Remember what I said... I'll hate you... so just please... don't-"
*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* He flatlines.
"NO!" Doctor Loreen, along with other staff, have to pull me from the bed. I didn't want to let go. I didn't it!
He can't be gone!
He can't be! He was just fine, until-
"I'm sorry, Princess Amelia, but there's nothing more we can do!" One of the nurses say to me.
"NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE! IT'S NOT!"
I feel Darren grab my arm and pull me towards the door. "What are you doing?"
"We're going home! You need to calm down and rest."
"But-"
"Now!"
Doctor Loreen tries to stop us. "Hold on, just a minute-"
Darren gives her a cold stare. "Fuck off!" He drags me on out of the door leaving Doctor Loreen in a confused state of mind.
Back at home...
Everyone rushes to me, because I looked like I'd been crying a lot. Thankfully, for Darren, they don't notice the bruise on my head. I blurt out the news to them all. I don't add my assumptions about Darren and Nicole's fault in this.
Afterall, where is the proof?
They all have the same reaction as I did. Scourge, Manic, and Robbie couldn't even speak. They had to leave the house. I don't blame them. I wanted to leave too. Paige and her family start crying and even leave to go up to the rooms or outside to get some air. Luckily, the kids were asleep, so they didn't even hear a word I said.
Mrs. Wolfman and the other Elders who happened to be there, didn't even bat an eye as to what I just said...
"The wedding's still on for tomorrow, right?"
I craved to jump on all of them as soon as they asked that, but I was too hurt to even move or break away from Darren's grasp.
"Come on, Amy. You need some rest after all of this." He tells me in a harsh tone.
My mother only looks at him. "..."
Darren looks her way. "She's in an emotional state right now. I'll put her to bed."
"Alright.." A few tears were running down my mother's face as she turned away from us to hide them.
Rosy and the ones who didn't run out of the house stare after us as we head up the stairs.
Why didn't we tell my mother everything?
He drags me to my room and shuts the door. From there he...
[.Back at the Clinic.]
(Normal POV)
"That Darren... is quite a character.. She's marrying that?"
Doctor Loreen sighs sadly and turns away from the door. "How could this have happened the day before? Hmm... Mark the time of death at 8:45 p.m. Begin the process of unhooking him from the machines."
The nurses nod and start to walk over towards the bed to do as they were told. When suddenly...
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
"Amy... Ames... Ames..."
Doctor Loreen and the rest of the nurses in the room jump at the sound of the voice. They all look at one another in complete shock and astonishment.
"Is it possible?" One of them ask aloud. "He's supposed to be dead, isn't he?"
The heart monitor starts to beep steadily and slowly increases raising the state of amazement in the room. On his chest lays the pearl necklace as it glows a brilliant color. For a second, the light blinds everyone in the room until his hand slowly moves up from the bed and lays on his chest to hold it.
"Mmm..."
"No way..."
On the bed, he slowly opens his eyes and begins to breath on his own. Doctor Loreen walks toward the bed to look at the monitor. Slowly, his heart rate is returning to normal. His vital signs and breathing as well are returning to as they should be.
"I... remember... everything."
Doctor Loreen turns to her team of nurses. "Hurry up and go get Princess Amelia and-"
"Wait..." Sonic's hand reaches up to stop her.
"W-what?"
"Not yet.. I wanna wait.."
"Why?"
"Because-"
The next day - July 25th...
[.Amy's Room.]
She's already been dressed in her wedding gown, her hair down, . Now it's only her make-up that needs to be done. Luckily, she lets no one see her actual face, because... it's all bruised. She had a hard time getting into her wedding gown on the count of the bruises and marks around her body.
Doing her make-up is no different...
Amy lightly applies the make-up needed to cover the wounds on her face. It stings a whole lot, but she works through it as tears run down her face.
Darren did this to me...
He... kicked me... hit me... slapped me... even raped me again.
I-I... give up...
Sonic's gone...
Walking in on her is Lily, she looking a bit startled. "A-Amy?" She runs up to the vanity to pull Amy's face toward her own. "What happened to your face?"
"Nothing... I just... it's nothing Lily."
"Nothing, just look at your face!" She whines.
Amy only sighs and turns back to the mirror to continue putting her make-up on. "It's not like you can do anything about it."
"But-"
"Just drop it, Lily. I'll be fine... but I appreciate your concern.."
Lily holds her head. "Okay..." She leaves, but stops for a second. "I... sorry things turned out this way."
"Yeah, me too.."
A bit later...
[.Out on the Beach.]
The beach is decorated in lavish flowers and decorations. There are hundreds of chairs lined up on the right and left side and a long red carpet rolled out leading to the altar built by the Queen's servants. The news had spread about what happened to 'Ty' or Sonic, and they all shocked to know that the wedding wasn't even called off.
Most wanted to stay home, but others wanted to come. There are still a few people who believe in Darren, and those that don't. However, they all had to come anyway, because of Amy. They feel bad for her and want to be there for her.
Rosy, Melody, Chanel, Cream, Zero, and Becky are standing on the right side as the bridemaids. In her arms are Ace and Iris. Chanel is holding Echo and Coral...
"I can't believe this.." Rosy says to herself as she rocks her kids back and forth.
Chanel shakes her head. "Me either... I feel so bad..."
"..." Melody, Cream, Zero, and Becky remain silent.
Next to Darren, Scourge, Manic, Robbie, Tails, and Flash are standing as the groomsmen. Behind them, Scar is standing in the back with his eyes closed...
"Man, this is bullshit!" Scourge curses to himself.
Manic scoffs. "You're telling me! I wanna get the hell outta this suit and-"
"Shhh!" Darren scolds them. "
"Why you dirty little-" Manic nearly charges toward him until his brothers hold him back.
"No, bro! Not now..." Scourge tells him.
Manic growls angrily. "Then when? When can we get him back for what he did?"
Robbie grimances. "I don't even know if we will..."
Tails and Flash shake their heads and continue to wait for the moment that would ultimately come.
They are all waiting for the bride. In a few seconds, music begins to play and Adda, Aleena, Jill, and Lill are seen walking down the carpet throwing flowers in their pretty white dresses. They were all chosen as the flower girls.
Lucrecia is seen leading her down the red, velvet aisle and leaves her next to Darren who takes Amy roughly by the arm and turns her to stand straight ahead. Her mother takes her seat next to Queen Alina, her husband, daughter, and friends.
Now, that everyone has arrived, the priest carrying out the marriage walks in front of Amy and Darren to the small podium covered with flowers and other decorations. He's dressed in the traditional garb and holding the ancient book he would read from...
"We are all gathered here on this special day, July 25th, to unite these two young people in holy matrimony. Princess Amelia and Sir Darren!" The priest said with a smile on his face as he look out upon the quiet audience. Most of them seemed happy, but the others were not as much. Mina, Razor, and Bliss look unhappy and unsettled. Behind them are Nicole and her posse, the Voluptuous Vixens in all their ill glory.
The black and white lynx smiles to herself. "This is gonna be good."
In front of them, Bliss turns to glare back at her. "What did you say?"
"I said what I wanted say. Now, mind your own business and turn around!" Nicole says back to her.
Bliss nearly jumps over her seats to get at the girl, but Mina grabs her. "No, it's not worth it!"
Nicole only rolls her eyes and go back to talking with her nearby friends. "Whatever."
Paige and her family sit in the front row on Amy's side. They have blank faces and look like they rather not be there at all.
With a confused look, the priest then sets his eyes upon Amy and Darren along with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. She holds her down as her veil covers her face. Underneath, tears run down her face as she struggles to keep from breaking down.
He clears his throat. "Uuummm... r-right! Now before I continue, if there is anyone who thinks should not be wed, speak now, or forever hold your peace!" In the audience, Chanel holds up both her hands and waves the around. Rosy and Melody quickly stop her and shake their heads. Not only her, the rest of them feel like they should say something, but what could they say?"
Amy's body shakes. "Please..."
"Shut up.." Darren whispers harshly to her as she balls her fists.
There is nothing else said. Mrs. Wolfman, Mr. Wolfman, and the rest of the Elders have smiles on their faces and are completely oblivious to what's been going on under their noses.
The priest nods. "Alright, now by the-"
"HOLD ON A DAMN SECOND, WOULD YA?"
Walking up the aisle now is a sight no one can believe...
"WHAT?"
"No way!
"It can't be-"
There are many whispers and looks of shock as they watch a dark blue hedgehog dress in a regular clothing, a white tee, short, blue jeans, white Vans, and the pearl necklace hanging around his neck as he walks his way down the carpet with his eyes straight ahead. Behind him, Doctor Loreen is standing with a warm smile on her face.
"DADDY!"
"UNCLE!" Adda and Razor yell as Mina holds them back. She knows in her mind that he has something to do, and they would have time for that later.
He's alive... really alive...
I can't believe it.
Chanel screams. "Sonic! He's not dead anymore!" In her arms, Echo and Coral start to cause a fuss as they see him coming their way.
"Aagh! Calm down, you two!"
Amy lifts her head up and gasps loudly at sight of the male coming her way. "S-Sonic? It's really-"
"What the fuck?" Darren curses as he lets her arm go with a scared look on his face.
How in the hell?
Paige watches Sonic walk on by and straight up to Amy on the alter. "Ty?"
"Hey!" Mrs. Wolfman stands up from her seat to point at him. Sonic looks back to roll his eyes. "You can't do that, sonny!"
Rosy growls and yells at her. "SIT YOUR OLD, CRUSTY ASS DOWN, BEFORE I MAKE YOU!"
Mrs. Wolfman and the rest of the Elders gasp at her outburst. "Lucrecia!"
Her mother looks back at the Elders and glares at them. "Didn't you hear my daughter? Sit your asses down now! Your QUEEN is telling you this now!"
Almost in total disbelief, the old woman slumps down in her seat. Sonic finally makes it up to the altar just as Darren moves farther and farther away from him.
"Oh, hey, Darren!" Sonic says upon seeing him and before taking Amy by her hands and lifting her veil.
He looks directly into her face with a soft look. "Amy? Looks like I was almost going to be late! Good thing, the doc hooked me up with these clothes and got me down here, huh?"
"Ty?" She questions as he gently strokes her face with his thumb.
"Ty? Who's that? My name's Sonic, remember?"
The orange and brown hedgehog steps back in pure fear and ends up bumping into someone. Scar smiles down at him and holds a knife to his back.
"Don't you move."
Darren feels the pointy end of the knife slice against his skin making him cry out in pain, but he keeps his place right where Scar wants him.
Sonic smiles with amusement and turns his attention back on Amy who has many tears running down her face. She pushes her body onto his own and hugs him tightly with the fear of it all being some dream.
"You finally remember me? After all this time? You remember?" She asks painfully. "Tell me that you do! Please!"
"Of course I do... you're one of them most important girls in my life! I love you too much to let some amnesia take me away from you. I'm sorry I took so long to remember you. I'm so-"
He has no time to finish as she reaches up on her tippy toes to plant a wet kiss on his lips. With a smile forming on his face, he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer to him. His tongue enters her mouth just as she lets out a low moan. The heat steadily rises between the two, and they nearly forget that everyone is watching.
"YES!" Surprisingly, Bliss squeals out from the audience. "THAT'S MY GIRL!"
"YEEEEAAAAH! GET SOME! GET SOME-" A male hollers out.
"Don't yell that! That sounds all pervy!" A female friend tells him.
Her friend nods his head. "Well, ahow about this: YEAAAAHHH, KISS HER! KISS HER!"
"You idiot..."
"WHOOOOO! ALRIGHT NOW!" Someone else yells.
"YAAAAAY!"
"HE'S FINALLY BACK!"
More and more people share their embarrassing opinions. Paige can't make herself sit there and watch this go on in front of her, so she gets up and runs away without anyone seeing her.
Sonic and Amy stop their kiss as she blushes brightly and looks up to him. "I love you.
"I love you too."
Her frail arms hug around his body once again, and she feels him hug her right back. The touch is so warm, so loving, so caring.. it's seemingly putting her to sleep.
"I'm so happy right now..."
"Hehe.. me too..."
He lifts his head and hugs her tightly and hears her breath in sharply as if his touch is hurting her...
"What the-" In his arms, he feels her body goes limp. Looking into her face, it seem she's passed out. He smiles and turns to see his brothers and friends standing there.
"Hey, long time no see! Robbie, Flash, Kuroi, didn't expect you three to come all the way out here for me!"
Flash and Kuroi give him a thumbs up. "Of course! Good to see you're not lying in your grave right now!"
"Bro.." Scourge smiles and shakes his head. "So you remember?"
"Every single thing." Sonic says with a tired voice. "Been through a lot of shit, huh?" Just as he speaks, Chanel walks up to him holding Echo and Coral.
"There's my two twins. Daddy's been gone for a while, but he's back now, you hear?" He kisses them both on the forehead and hugs them with much love behind it.
"Da Da! Da Da!" The two little ones say at once. Everyone in the audience awe and smile at hearing that. The mood has definitely changed from uncomfortable and depressed atmosphere to a joyous one as they all stand up to clap and cheer for the event that just occurred.
"Thank GOD! Now we can take care of Darren's lying ass!" Robbie says with his voice full of excitement. "And accomplice!"
In the audience, Nicole slowly rises from her seat and prepares to make a run for it.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bliss blocks her path. She raises up her hand which gives off a greenish, brown aura. Around her body, her hair starts to flout menacingly.
Nicole shakes her head. "N-no where!"
"That's what I thought! Don't worry, Sonic! I GOT HER!" Bliss yells to him with everyone watching in confusion.
Sonic nods with a smirk and looks toward Darren with a his terrified face. His eyes narrow and pierce through the hedgehog's as he holds Amy and his kids close.
"You're fucking good as dead."
