Roses-The Chainsmokers

Chapter 21: Ultimatum

Weeks had passed since Silver woke up from the coma he was in. Since then he'd gone into physical therapy for mobilization. Scourge and Sally disappeared after that day and it was assumed they dropped out of high school. Eggman and his gang weren't seen around as much in town anymore. The place had cooled down. Winter came early that year and it snowed from time to time. It was peaceful and it felt nice to be outside.

Sonic stopped in front of a hospital with Amy in his arms. Amy shivered after that fast run through the cold wind. She hid her face under her black scarf and when she was placed down on the ground she cuddled herself. She wore a red coat and black tights with black boots and it was still cold. She smiled and felt the light snow falling down on her face. "Where are you taking me this time?"

Sonic looked at the tall building and sighed lowering his head pondering. He didn't know how to explain the situation to her without her freaking out. He reached for her hand and took it under his. She blushed and covered her face with her free hand. She didn't want Sonic to see her so embarrassed.

"Before I answer that, can you do me a favor?"

"Yes, I may do you a favor."

"Ok, may, whatever's," He chuckled, "Um…What's to happen today is a surprise, so leave all questions till the end, okay?"

"Alright, then I shall set that question aside for now." She agreed with a nod.

He smiled at her and began walking with her inside the building. At first they walked silently but when she heard doors open automatically she bit her lip. She felt anxious. Something in the air smelled different. She'd never smelled it before.

"Sonic,"

"Yea,"

"Your hand is cold,"

Sonic turned to look at her with wide eyes. "Ah. Here then,"

He trusted their hands inside the pocket of his coat leaving Amy flustered. She meant it as a little joke at first, but he didn't seem to take it that way. Their hands were clenched together in that small warm space. She wished she understood why these kinds of little actions didn't bother Sonic, but it did her. She mumbled something about wishing he hadn't done that.

Sonic found where he was supposed to go and lead her down a narrow hall where a tall Doctor falcon and a nurse waited for them. He stopped and turned to her releasing their hands. He placed both his hands on her shoulder and smiled. "Wait here for a bit."

"Okay,"

Sonic left her side to go talk to the doctor up ahead. Amy was placed near the wall so that she could balance. She placed her hand flat on the wall and wondered where they were. She couldn't hear too many voices, because it was really quiet almost like a library. Were they at a library?

No, she thought to herself. Libraries don't smell like this. There were still some noises around and it didn't echo. She sighed and placed the side of her head on the wall to rest it. She couldn't shake the anxious feeling she had on her stomach. She felt so…scared.

"Amy,"

Sonic came back and she lifted her head. "Are you okay? Do you feel sick or…?"

"No, I am fine."

He was so worried about her now a days and she found it strange at first because of his flirtatious and cocky characteristics, but then it flattered her. He'd change, but not in a bay way. This change was soft and calm.

Sonic softly smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "Okay, let's go,"

"Whe—" She stopped herself from asking a question and nervously smiled. "Forgive me."

He chuckled and dragged her all the way down the hall into a room. Inside a doctor and a nurse walked around but when he entered they nodded at Sonic and walked passed them. Amy sensed their presence but said nothing. They closed the door behind them and it was Sonic and Amy alone. Sonic brought her to the bed and picked her up bridal style and she yelped.

"Relax it's okay." He assured her soothingly.

"I was startled is all," She stated. Sonic placed her on the electric bed in front of him and his hand moved a lock of her bangs to the side.

She raised an eyebrow and rose up in a sitting position. "Wha-um-S-Sonic,"

He chuckled seeing her so nervous. His took his hand back and looked at it clenching it into a fist. He closed his eyes and re-opened them with a smile. "What's with that look? C'mon, smile."

Amy tried her hardest to comply to it, but it came out crooked. He rolled his eyes with a chuckle placed his fingers on her lips forcing her to create a smile. She giggled along with him. He was teasing her again. She moved her head to the side with her blushing cheeks. Sonic saw it and felt his heart tugged with sadness. "You…you remember how we met?" he began getting her attention. "In class when I came to you and asked you for your name,"

"I recall you trying to be suave." She teased. Sonic smirked. "I was. Whatchu mean."

Amy laughed and Sonic's hand reached for hers. "Also how you touched Mighty to feel what his face might look like."

Amy stopped laughing. Her hands were placed on each cheek of Sonic's face. Sonic closed his eyes. "I want you to image what I might look like to you."

"But why—"

"Eh! Eh!" He warned her and she shut her mouth replacing her words. "I-I am sorry."

As her hands moved around each angle of his face Sonic continued to add. "Memorize my face."

"I have before." She stated stopping her movement.

"Ok, so that means you won't forget it," He said taking her hands off his face. She blinked and her head lowered slightly. His voice was beginning to sound strange. Still, she couldn't ask questions meaning he didn't want something being brought up. That was the anxious feeling she was getting earlier, but it was much stronger at the moment.

She took her hand away. "No, I do not ever forget a face I touch."

"That's good." Sonic sat on the bed facing her. Amy felt it and tilted her head. "I wanna spend some time with you for a bit longer."

"Oh, so you do."

Sonic's eyes shifted up to her eyes and quirked a smile scratching the back of his head. "I kinda had like a cool speech to say, but to be honest I've forgotten how it starts,"

"Speech?" She repeated, she was going to ask a question, but she remembered right away she couldn't. She sighed and instead said, "If you recall it, I am right here to listen."

"Um…I wanted to start by thanking you," He started slowly and Amy's was taken aback. Sonic chuckled at her face expression and added, "My dad told me what he told you about me and how shocked you were. He said that we shouldn't be friends, but you told him off and weren't mad at me. I'm touched and want to thank you for it. For believing in someone like me."

Amy nodded with a smile gesturing that she was listening.

"This is gonna sound cliché and stuff, but I want to let you know that meeting you is the best thing that's happened to me." He said shyly. "You're so chill to be with and funny not to mention c—" He stopped himself. He didn't understand why, but he couldn't bring up the word 'cute' unlike his flirtatious side before. It somehow made he feel bashful. "Cool," He finished lamely. Amy giggled with a slight blush. This was a complete different side to him and she was enjoying that. He shook his head and brushed off the weird feeling. "I really had fun,"

Her heart moved startled. 'A paste tense,' she thought worriedly. Everything being added up sounded like a farewell speech. She held in her scared expression and kept her force smile, adding more force into it. She raised her head high and her mouth opened. "Have…There is a word called Serendipity maybe you have been informed of it."

"Serendipity? No, what does it mean?"

"It is the occurrence of an event by chance."

"Meaning…?"

"It means a lucky accident. Something not sought for and yet comes to you by mere coincidence or as they say luck." She explained, "Like our meeting,"

Sonic stayed quiet but hummed telling her that he was listening quiet for anything else she had to say. Amy found his hand and took ahold of it tightly into hers. She smiled and blushed. "Life has brought me to you for a reason, whatever it may be, but I, as well, am truly lucky to have you in my life."

Sonic raised an eyebrow blushing slightly chuckling, "You smarty pants. You gave a better speech than I did."

Amy giggled and at that moment the door opened slowly a doctor peering his head in. Sonic nodded and brought Amy in for a tight hug. "Thanks," He muttered.

Amy hugged him back and smiled letting words escape her lips, "Sonic...I love you,"

Sonic's body jolted and he pulled away from the hug. Amy knew it was a stupid thing to say even after it was sorted out that he held no feelings for her, but she had to say it. It was a must, so that he could understand how she really felt. Whether it was friendship love or romantic love, she loved him earnestly.

Sonic's cheeks went bright red and his lips quivered unable to repeat the same words she said.

The doctors came in silently, like they were told to, they pushed Amy down on the bed. A nurse escorted Sonic out with him staring back stunned. Amy's head moved around confusingly feeling strange hands touch her. A mask was put on her face and the door closed before he could see anything else. The nurse muttered a few things to him and he nodded. She left.

Sonic staggered to a wall beside the door and held his chest. This strange feeling he had was bothering him. It hurt him, but he had no idea why. Leaving Amy hurt him, but he knew it was for the best. He ignored the rest of his thoughts and pulled out his cellphone. He found the next four numbers and called them.

.:xXx:.

It felt like she was floating in thin air with no gravity. The world was pitch-black and everything was quiet. Her body moved around in the air spinning and spinning without anywhere to go. The feeling in her body was numb and she couldn't move. Only her thoughts were able to process through energy. She didn't know what was going on or why, but she wasn't scared. Sonic told her not to be and she had to trust him.

"Amy,"

The sound of his voice was so appealing to her ears, like that of an angel. When the sound of her name rolled out his tongue it gave her chills down her spine. She wished she'd hear it again, but she couldn't. He was gone. He wasn't by her side. 'Sonic….' She thought hopelessly. Then she lost consciousness.

.:xXx:.

"The operation was a success!"

In the hallways of that hospital, Amy's friends and her grandfather stared happily at each other in hearing the good news. Mighty and Honey hugged and spun around joyously. Cream comforted a crying Mr. Rose and Tails grinned up at Sonic. Sonic smiled at the doors where Amy was in, but soon sighed and closed his eyes.

"Sonic," Tails muttered.

Sonic reopened his eyes and stared at him emotionlessly. Tails frowned. Mighty came to them bumping shoulders with Sonic. "Hey! This calls for a celebration!" He shouted, but Sonic didn't make any sort of reaction. Mighty's smile faded. "Oh sorry,"

"It's cool, but hey, I was wondering if I could talk to you two privately." He masked a very serious tone considering it was a happy time for them. Mighty and Tails nodded their heads and followed down the hall. Cream watched carefully at them leave. She lowered her head and clapped her hands together.

Out in the main hall Sonic, Tails and Mighty stood in a corner away from crowds. Sonic leaned against the hard cold wall with his hands crossed over his chest like he always did. Might did the same, but he stood in front of him with narrowed eyes and a frown. Tails rubbed his chin looking down at the floor.

"So you're leaving without a goodbye because of the deal." Mighty recapped in a low voice.

"You won't even see her one last time?" Tails added just as concerned.

"No, I can't. I have to go before she wakes up. The deal was to fix them before disappearing out of their lives. That was the deal if not he'll find a way to hurt them. I can't let that happen." Sonic explained, his eyes leveling half-way.

"Man, telling that to Amy and Silver. They're not going to be happy that you were willing to trade your friendship for their safety like that." Mighty said.

"It was for the best." Sonic's voice rose slightly.

Mighty closed his mouth and averted his eyes to the side. Tails lowered his hand from his chin and grabbed Sonic's arm. "Amy's stubborn, right? If so, she's not going to except this fact. She's going to try to find you."

"That's why I don't want you telling her anything…"

Tails didn't like that and stepped away from Sonic with a frim look. Sonic's narrowed eyes tightened and he gave Tails a hard stare. He knew Tails well enough when it came to facial expressions. "Okay," Sonic added with emphasis on the words.

Tails didn't reply.

Mighty stepped in between them and pushed Sonic away lightly. "Fine, but we won't promise anything on her part."

Sonic sighed and avoided looking at Tails and Mighty so turned to stare at the Mobians walking around inside the building. "Thanks. Take care of her and stay safe okay,"

"At least look at us when you're saying that." Mighty claimed annoyed and Sonic did just that with a small smile.

"Sorry," He said.

"Does your dad know about you leaving?" Mighty asked suddenly.

"No, nobody but you guys know, so keep it low-key."

There was a pause when the sound of a car screech heard making them all look outside the glass windows. Sonic sighed and turned back to them. "I should start heading."

"Alright buddy. If you can send us letters or stuff." Mighty said smacking his shoulder.

"Take care." Tails said somewhat dejected.

Sonic nodded, "Thanks for everything you guys. I won't forget it." Sonic turned around to leave but was stopped when Tails spoke abruptly. "Will you forget Amy,"

Sonic turned around with eyes squinted. It was weird Tails was asking this.

Tails cleared his throat. "I know it's none of my business but I was told Amy likes you romantically."

Mighty's eyes widened and Sonic's mouth opened.

Tails apologized to both Cream and Amy spiritually for spilling the beans. That day Sonic was looking for Amy and came up to the both of them asking for her, Cream sensed something different. So, Cream and Tails followed Sonic upstairs where they saw the whole commotion with Scourge. They'd found out far earlier about everything than anyone else, even Sonic at the moment. Tails wanted to test something out first before he left.

"Who said that?" Sonic asked shocked.

"That's not important, but if it's true that she does like you, do you like her back. If so then you'll come back for her right?" He asked

"N-No," Sonic said his eyes narrowing from the foolishness of a question. "What the heck, Tails."

Tails frowned. Maybe this was it for Amy. In a sense he felt bad for her, but in another it made him irritated that Sonic gave things up so easily. Tails sighed and allowed it off. He knew it well not to interfere with affairs, but he was hoping he'd stay at least for her. "Nevermind." He muttered.

Sonic was shaken by the sudden question that he knew the answer to, but he wondered if Amy told Tails about her romance life.

Sonic waved at them and they waved back. Walking out the hospital, disappeared right in front of their eyes with that thought lingering in his mind and his chest sinking.

Wow. So he left. Haha Don't be mad!
