Love RollerCoaster Chapter 24
Summer is almost gone, and fall is fast approaching in New York...
Three weeks pass on by as Sonic's stay in the hospital grows longer. Getting a good number of visits each day keep his spirits up. His injuries are healing at a faster rate than most other patients which is good. The one thing that's motivating this to occur is Amy.
She only visits him when he calls her to tell her that Tina has left or stepped out for a while, which isn't that often. Tina's goal is to make their relationship seem to slowly disappear. Sonic's attachment to Amy to even weaken. And her relationship to Sonic to grow.
Guessing Tina wants Sonic all to herself and keeping Amy away from him as long as possible. Only a week after leaving the hospital, she was almost convicted of injuring Sonic just before the car hit. the finger prints on that broken beer bottle did it. It was even said that she pushed HIM in the way of the speeding car causing the accident in the first place. And guess who told police all that?
Tina of course. But she wasn't even outside when it happened!
Fortunately, the driver of the car testifies that he saw Sonic push away out of the in attempt to save her. Sonic even gave his own witness statement. Amy's statement didn't count since she was the one being charged. But with Sonic's and the drivers' testimony, she's let go, free of the charges against her.
It's true, that Amy is very irritated about this, but there's nothing she can do at the moment to change that. She's just happy that she wasn't convicted of anything. Only her working at Victoria Secret's photo shoots keep her busy, along with Shadow and her close friends. She's pushed back her trip by another month to keep checking on Sonic in the hospital. Determined not to let Tina win this war.
However, Amy still hasn't forgiven Sonic for what he's done. Matter of fact, once she left the hospital that day with the girls, she's told them all about it and burst into tears afterwards. As the friends they are, Rouge and the girls comfort her anyway they can. But somehow, it just isn't enough.
[Rouge's Home.]
Amy is laying on the sofa half asleep with a magazine laying across her lap. She's been working all that week and is totally wiped out at the moment. Thankfully, that day is a day-off, so she spends it to herself while Rouge is out on a date with Knuckles.
The house phones starts to ring...
"Huh?" she leans up and rubs her sleepy eyes. The phone continues to ring, so the pink hedgehog pulls herself up, dropping the magazine on the floor, and heading for the kitchen.
She picks up the phone reading it to be a call coming from Sonia. "Hello?"
"Hey, Amy! Glad you picked up." Sonia says sounding a bit eager and whispering.
"Really, why?" Amy yawns a little as she rubs the back of her head.
On account, I haven't spoken to you since you called some months ago...
Sonia sighs. "I know we haven't talked in a while, but I need you to come to the hospital immediately."
Is something wrong?
"Why? Something happened with Sonic?" Amy asks worriedly.
"There's nothing wrong with him. In fact, he's well enough now to be discharged from the hospital soon this week." Sonia explains.
Amy tilts her head questioningly. "Well, that's good, but-"
"HOWEVER, he's still gonna need some care while at home, so the doctor's asking one of us to take care of him until he's back on his feet." Sonia takes a short breathe.
"Sonic said himself, he doesn't want some stranger taking care of him. But of course I can't do it, cause my house is a little too small. And Scourge and Manic don't know how to take care of other people, much less themselves."
She and Amy both give out a soft laugh.
"So who's able enough to do it?" Amy asks once she quiets down.
"That's where I need you to come in... you see Tina got wind of this situation and now she's down here wanting to do it..."
The hell she will!
"Of course..." Amy sighs hard and grips the phone tight. "But they wont let her?"
"Well, not exactly.. They're considering it right now, so I need you to come down here, please!" Sonia begs. "I can't stand that blonde bitch."
You too?
"Doesn't Sonic have a say so?"
"Yeah. You know how Tina is. She's manipulating, seducing him again! And I can't seem to break him out of it." Sonia almost yells, but calms down. "Sorry, I'm standing outside his room right now. Just please can you come?"
Seems with my absence is making Tina get closer to him...
"What about his doctor? Isn't he there with him?"
"No, he isn't here yet. Which is exactly why Tina is trying to convince Sonic now. I need your help here."
Amy nods to say yes at first, but ends up shaking her head. "But she has a restraining order against me!" she explains.
"Yeah, I know. You've hardly gotten to see him, right? Well, if she gets to take him home with her, then what?" Sonia tells her in a hurried voice.
Amy is silent for a moment, so Sonia continues. "I know he still loves you and not that girl. I don't know why he went out with her after cheating on you and listens to her the way he does, but please. Only you can stop this..."
Guess everyone knows the whole truth now...
Amy stops to think about what Sonia just said.
If Tina gets to take Sonic home with her, I wont be able to see him at all. At least until, he's all better, but still. She's have him all to herself, and may even change his mind about Amy completely.
"I can't let that happen.." Amy whispers to herself.
"What? Amy, are you there?" Sonia asks as she hardly hears Amy's voice speak on the other end.
"I'm coming, don't worry."
Sonia lets out a, "YES! Awesome, get here ASAP! See ya then."
After exchanging the same words, Amy sets the phone down and rushes out the kitchen, and up to her room to get dressed. A few minutes past, and she walks out wearing white, green, and black chiffon skirt dress, black ruched cluched top, faux leather leggings, black cardigan, and black boots. She races to the door, reaching for the door knob, when it suddenly hits her...
"Dammit, I don't have the car right now!" she curses remembering she left her car with Sonic when she left him. And no telling when Rouge would be back.
How am I going to get to the hospital now...?
She ponders as a knock comes to the door. "Rouge?" she guesses, but knows the bat has a house key, so why would she knock. Must be someone else. Amy opens the door to reveal Blaze and Julie-Su there.
Right on time!
"Hey, Amy. We came to hang out with ya!" Blaze says wearing a acid wash blue jeans, a light yellow tank top, a black tuxedo cardigan, and similar black wedge boots with sparkling studs on the heels. And her hair down her shoulders like usual.
Julie-Su nods. "Yeah, since you been so busy lately!" Wearing tight, black jogging suit and black Nike shoes with a white check on the side of them. Hair pulled back in a long ponytail.
"Julie, said it would be good to come and visit." Blaze said after seeing the strange look on Amy's face.
"Good, to see you guys too. Now, let's get going!" Amy says all at once before shutting and locking the house door, and then grabbing both their hands to race back to Julie-Su's car.
Blaze and Julie-Su are instantly shocked. "Wait, where are we going?"
"To the hospital!"
"Why?"
"I'll tell you on the way. Now hurry!"
On the way to Lenox Hill hospital, Amy tells the two all what Sonia told her on the phone. Hearing this makes Julie-Su as mad as Amy is, and Blaze too. Motivated to get there faster, Julie-Su drives as fast as she can without going over the limit. Soon, they are parked in front front of the building and heading straight into it.
Inside, they go straight for the elevator and to the floor that Sonic's room is on. Amy quickly finds his room, but stops midway...
"She has the cops here..." Amy said in a gloomy voice.
Julie-Su scoffs. "No shit!." she curses seeing the two male police officers in front of the room.
"Oh no. How are we going to get in there now?" Blaze tries to think of a plan.
Amy pulls out her cell and calls Sonia' number. "Hello, Amy? Are you here yet?" She's whispering again.
"Yeah. In front of his room, but there are cops outside!" Amy explains the situation.
She hears Sonia's curse. "Tina must have called then when she heard me on the phone with you." she guesses.
"I guess." Amy leans against the wall and sighs in frustration.
"Just come to the room and explain to the cops why you're here." Sonia suggests.
Amy shakes her head. "No, they probably wont believe me."
She adds. "Tina will probably say I came to hurt her again or something."
Sonia laughs. "I wish!"
"Why don't you come out and get us?" Amy asks of as she thinks the plan up.
"No, if I leave one second, Tina will probably get Sonic to say yes, and I'm not letting that happen. And on top of that, her annoying friend, Holly, is here too. Scourge and Manic here will probably make it worse." Sonia disagrees and with a good reason.
*Ugh!* Then what should we do..?
"What did she say?" Blaze asks seeing her on the phone.
Amy shakes her head. "We have to find another way into the room."
"Damn." Julie-Su groans in complaint.
Blaze looks around the corner to see the cops still there. "Maybe we can knock them out?"
"Oooh, that can be arranged!" Julie-Su says as she cracks her knuckles.
"Like wise." Blaze holds up her hand creating a small, but glowing, red flame.
"No, they're cops remember?" Amy protests.
Julie-Su shakes her head. "That were hired by Tina, REMEMBER?" the dark, pink enchinda points out.
Amy can't argue. "Yeah, but-"
"There's a doctor coming this way. Maybe he can get us in the room, since he works here." Blaze sees one coming their way.
All girls look down the hall to see a young-looking doctor holding a clipboard and walking down the hall. Amy immediately recognizes him.
"That's his doctor! Come on!" the girls all rush upon the man and stop him in the hall.
"Oh, hello, Miss Rose. Are you here today to visit Mr. Sonic?" he asks with a smile.
Amy half-nods. "Yes, but we need your help getting into his room."
His facial expression changes. "Why?"
They point down the hall to the policeman standing there. "Is this because of a girl named Tina?"
Amy nods. "Yeah, she put a restraining order against me and almost had me convicted!"
"Convicted! You don't look like you could hurt a flower much less a person." the doctor exclaims receiving a laugh from the girls.
"Sure..." Julie-Su jokes.
Amy glares at her, but turns back to the doctor. "Can you PLEASE help us get inside?"
Realizing their situation, the doctor agrees and takes them along with him to the room. Amy doesn't know that during his stay at the hospital, that Sonic became close friends with the doctor and revealed nearly all of the events that lead up to the night.
The two officers hear the footsteps and look to see the girls and the doctor heading for the room.
"Step aside, gentlemen."
The two police men look at one another then to the doctor. "You're Sonic's doctor, correct?"
"Yes. Doctor, Roy Hamilton. I need to speak to my patient regarding something important." he gestures to Amy and friends. "They need to be here too."
One of the police pull out a slip a photo and a photo. "Sorry, but she isn't allowed by the restraining order placed against her. If she steps any further, we'll be forced to arrest her."
Amy growls to herself and steps forward, but Julie-Su and Blaze tell her to calm down.
"If something happens, you can come inside the room yourselves, right?" Roy provides a solution.
The two cops look at one another in thought. "Alright. But if anything happens, it'll be on your head."
"And if she tries anything with Tina, she'll be arrested on the spot." one of the officers points to Amy.
She rolls her eyes. "Whatever."
Roy nods. "Yeah, yeah. Come on, girls. Follow me." The policemen step aside from the door way for him to open it.
[In Sonic's Room.]
Tina is standing by Sonic's bed along with her friend, Holly. Scourge and Manic near them and listening to their conversation. Sonia is standing off to the side not looking so happy herself. Her eyes light up seeing Amy and her friends along with the doctor...
"Amy, Blaze, Julie-Su, Doctor Roy!" she says with much relief seeing them come in.
Hearing the names, Tina looks up from the bed to see Amy walking in to Sonia. "What the fuck is she doing here?"
Sonic looks up too, and a small smile appears on his face. "Amy?"
Amy hears their voices, and her eyes land on them. She doesn't say a thing to either a them, but turns to Sonia. "Glad you could make it." Sonia hugs her. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, Sonia." Amy hugs her back.
Sonia leans close to her ear to whisper. "Tina's been trying to convince Sonic all this time. He's hesitating, but really close to breaking..." she says sadly.
"Me, Manic, and Scourge have been trying to get her out of here, but she wont budge!"
"Stubborn ass..." Amy grumbles as she looks to see Tina back over Sonic in bed.
Still angry with me... Sonic spots the pink hedgehog's glare and sits up in bed to stretch.
"Hello, Sonic. How you doing today?" Roy asks as he walks over to him. Tina and Holly move out of the way from the doctor, but keep a good distance away from Amy and the others.
"Fine, just fine." Sonic tells him as the man checks the medical device beside him.
Roy smiles. "That's good. So I heard you'll be well enough to get checked out soon." he begins.
Sonic nods. "Yeah, I heard that earlier this morning."
"But you will still need some assistance after leaving the hospital, you know that. I'm sure. So do you know who your caretaker will be?" the doctor questions.
Before Sonic could speak, Tina bursts out. "I'll be the one, thank-you!"
"You're not even a member of the family, so why should you?" Sonia spits at her.
"So what? I'm his girlfriend still, so I should be the one to take care of him!" Tina yells at her back.
Sonia laughs at her. "OH WOW, LIKE THAT MEANS TWO SHITS TO ME!"
"This isn't even about you! Didn't you say you couldn't take care of him, so why are you telling me I can't when no one else can?" Tina argues back.
"Because I have someone better than you'll ever be!"
Tina scoffs. "That's damn a lie! I'm already the best AND so forth will be!"
"OOH, YOU TRIFLING, LYING BITCH!"
Sonic, Scourge, and Manic all stand back and watch without saying word. Knowing what might happen if they jumped in.
"Ain't gonna start yelling shit at me.." Scourge whispers to his brothers who nod in agreement.
Roy watches the girls argue back and forth. Amy is silent and watching the whole thing.
"Wait, wait, wait!" the doctor stops the two. "The only way I'll be able to decide who's going to be his caretaker, is if I hear clear and precise reasons why anyone of you should."
Sonia stands back to think. "W-well..."
Tina takes the opportunity. "I'M his girlfriend. I know everything about it. I'm kind, sweet, and generous."
Julie-Su starts coughing as she hears her say that. "Yeah, right..." she whispers.
"And would do anything and everything to make he's okay, and well taken care of. My house is his house." Tina ignores the girls' interruptions and continues. "I'm the sweetest girl you'll ever meet!"
Blaze lets out a short laugh getting their attention. "Unbelievable..."
"Yeah, she really will!" Holly adds in after her.
Amy and Sonia almost gags hearing the two say how sweet and kind she is.
As if!
No, matter what you say...
YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIM HOME WITH YOU!
When Tina's done speaking, Roy nods and smiles to her and turns to Sonia. "And you?"
Sonia smiles. "I have someone here who is perfect for the job." she pushes Amy forward.
Sonic wonders why Amy is still quiet and not saying a thing. "Mmm..."
"This is my sister-in-law!" Everyone in the room is in shock.
"Sister?" Scourge says.
"In?" Manic next.
"Law?" Sonic finishes the phrase.
"Interesting.." Roy rubs his chin.
Sister-in-law! Sonia, why did you?
Amy looks behind herself to Sonia who's smiling mischievously. "Just go along with it..." she mouths to Amy.
"Hey, that's not tru-" Tina starts.
"Uh uh! It's our turn! Not yours!" Sonia shuts her down immediately.
"Why you little-"
Roy steps in. "She's right, Miss Murielle. Let the have their chance to speak now, please."
Tina growls and folds her arms.
"As I was saying!" Sonia says looking into Tina's face. "My sister-in-law is well suited to take care of him. I know that for a fact, they've been together for years now. Since they were kids even."
Roy nods hearing her and turns to Amy. "I would like to hear from her now, if you please."
Amy looks up to see everyone in the room staring back at her. A brighter blush forms on her cheeks as she tries to speak. "Well... I've know him longer than Tina has, so I know more about it. What he likes and what he hates. His favorite food, ice cream, T.V., and even more stuff than that."
"I understand him better than he does sometimes, which is kind of strange. I know how to take care of him better than anyone else probably does, even his own brothers and sisters." she stops for a moment to think about what else to say.
"I believe I can... wait, I know I can take care of him better than Tina ever can!" Amy points toward the girl. "I know him better!"
"And why is that?" the doctor questions her with much amusement.
"Because..." Amy stops for a moment, but continues. "He's my first... In everything! So he knows me just as well. Even more than her!" she blurts the truth out pushing past her fear.
Her friends all awe, Tina and Holly roll their eyes, and the guys all glance to Sonic who's looking back at them with the same grin, but at the same time smiling on the inside.
"I'm done..."
"Better be." Tina whispers to herself.
Amy only rolls her eyes and walks back next to Sonia who smiles happily to her.
The doctor takes a minute to make the right decision. "Mmm..."
Everyone in the room tunes in to listen.
"Then it's decided, Miss Rose will be Sonic's care taker until he's back on his feet." Roy announces.
"But.. Wait!" Tina tries to argue. "You can't-"
The doctor shakes his head, "I'm sorry, but I've made my decision."
"But I have a restraining order against her!"Tina yells the obvious.
"Yeah!" Holly pulls out the document to show the doctor. "How will she get to see him?"
"Exactly, you wont." Amy says hearing the two.
Tina and Holly both glare at her. Blaze walks up behind the doctor to snatch the document away before he could read it.
"Hey, give that back!" Tina yells at her as she tries to get it back. "NOW!"
Blaze's hand goes up in a flame burning the piece of paper before her eyes."Oops, sorry!"
"You did that on purpose!"
Blaze only shrugs and laughs. "You snooze, you lose."
"Yeah, tough break!" Julie-Su says with smirk.
Sonia and Amy sigh in relief due to their victory. Tina, however, screams out and storms out of the room to get some fresh air. Scourge and Manic both go over to talk with Sonic about it as the girls talk to themselves.
[With the guys.]
"I know you happy about this, bro!"
Sonic only smiles and nods slowly. "Yeah, yeah."
"But sad, you'll be leaving the hospital with all the pretty female nurses around." Manic jokes with him.
Sonic laughs. "Whatever you say."
"At least, he'll have a Victoria Secret's model looking after him!" Scourge teases Sonic. "Wont that be fun?"
"If you still want the hospitality feeling to follow you home, I have an extra nurse's uniform you can give to her.." the brothers look up to see Roy listening in on their conversation.
"Oh, really?" Manic questions.
"Personal nurse, huh?" Scourge says aloud.
Sonic smirks. "That would be absolutely perfect."
[With the girls.]
"Yay, I'm so happy right now!" Sonia gives Amy a death hug.
"Ha, me too!"
Amy looks over to the guys seeing Sonic giving her a devious smile and the others looking particularly mischievous as well.
"What the..."
"Hey, Amy!" Julie-Su gets her attention. "You told Rouge about this yet?"
Amy thinks about it. "Crap, no. She's out with Knuckles on a date right now..." she explains.
"Guess I'll tell her when she gets back."
I wonder how I'll explain this to Rouge though... -.-'
Ending here for now!
Sorry it's a little short.. I'm not feeling as motivated as I used to, T.T
Hopefully, that's change sooner or later. Before I have the feeling to stop writing on this.
Until then... (R&R) xD
Peace!~
