Yawwwwwwnnnn… I'm very tired today, as I was expecting a game in the mail today… but it never came. So, I really did NOTHING all day except for, you got it, lay down all day. But! I have a special chapter right here… so, heh, go check it out below. It's a real emotional one, the first of the series… unless you count the fight with Blaze and Silver but that was like a "we fight, then make out" sorta thing.

Sonic219526: It wasn't a fake… it was just odd humor.

I was walking up the stairs to my dorm when a certain mongoose rushed towards me.

"Blaaaze!" Maria squealed, hugging me as I reached the top, "So how was your date?"

"Oh, good! Silver and I went to see Shatterproof Bean."

She smiled and fixed her short shorts, "How'd he like it?"

A sudden breeze came and I fixed me hair. I shifted uncomfortably and replied with, "Well… horror movies don't seem to be his thing."

Maria nodded like she understood and together we walked to who knows where. We passed by our room without even realizing it, as we were in deep conversation about our classes.

In the middle of Maria's long rant on recitals we heard a loud shout coming from the room down the hall.

"What on earth?" I gasped and together we raced to the door. However, someone else came out.

Amy Rose was sobbing angrily and shouted back into to the room, "Fine!"

"Fine!"

"FINE!"

The door was slammed shut and the little pink hedgehog tried to shove past us.

"Oh no you don't…" I warned and grabbed her arm, "What happened."

She didn't answer, just grunted.

"Amy…"

Amy's special ability was awoken and I already knew what it was. It's still strange to see it every time it happens. She had summoned her special hammer into her arms and was ready to swing.

Maria rolled her eyes and grabbed Amy's arms, "Tell. Us."

She burst out into tears and the two of us comforted the girl. Without another word, we brought her back to our room.

-(-)-

Amy wiped her eyes with a tissue and sniffed, "Okay… I'm ready."

I turned from my bag and looked back, "Really?"

"Really."

Maria jumped next to her while I took the other side of our pink friend.

"So… you remember that fancy dinner Sonic took me out to?"

I nodded, "Yeah, that last Sunday? Today's Thursday…"

Amy shook her head, "Yeah, I know but… well, let me explain. So, Sonic texted me an hour ago saying to come and visit his room. So I did and he reminded me about the date. Well, according to him, since he took me out to somewhere fancy… I would give him something in return."

Maria raised an eyebrow, "And that was…?"

Tears flooded her eyes, "He wanted… us to… y'know, do it."

Both of us gasped and I breathed out, "What'd you say."

She sobbed for a short while, the remainder of her mascara smeared across her cheeks. "He said I was a terrible girlfriend for that. I owed him. I told him I wasn't ready. We shouted… and then, well, we broke up."

Maria hugged Amy tightly, muttering comforting words.

"How could he do that?!" I shouted, glasses falling on the bed.

The two looked up in surprise. I didn't wait for their reaction, however. "You've been nothing but nice to him! It's not fair!"

"I know…" she sighed and slumped down.

Maria looked at me, "Say… Maybe we can get Silver and Shadow to talk to him."

I gasped, "Yeah! I'll text Silver right now."

"And I'll do the same for Shadow," Maria added. Amy sniffed and gave a faint smile before sobbing more into a towel.

-(-)-

"You did WHAT?!"

"I thought we were ready to take the next step! It's not your business anyway…"

Shadow and I confronted our brother after hearing the news about Amy. Sonic wouldn't budge, however.

"Sonic," Shadow snarled, clutching the cobalt hedgehogs' ear, "Why on earth would you do that? You know you weren't ready and now Amy is gone from your life…"

He rolled his eyes, "Obviously she didn't care about me, now I'm going for a run." He flipped on a grey hoodie and attempted to leave the room.

My powers activated without warning, lifting him into the air. I was too angry at him to realized I was causing him slight pain.

"Ah!" he exclaimed as his quills touched the ceiling, "What are you doing?"

"Amy was such a nice girl and now you've thrown it all away! I hope you're happy!" I shouted and threw him on the bed.

Shadow grabbed my arm before I could leave, "What was that all about?"

"It's… complicated. I've dealt with bullying a lot before this…"

Sonic scoffed, "What was it when you were an orphan?"

Something inside me snapped, another thing cracked, and I'm pretty sure my connection my brother had just broken.

Instead of lunging at him, my eyes filled with tears, "Why would you remind me about that?"

"What? It's true…"

"My brother would never say that."

"Then I guess I'm not your brother."

Shadow gasped. Shadow was NEVER surprised. He looked at Sonic in anger, "What? He's our brother Sonic, adopted or not."

"No…" I interrupted, "I'm not your brother anymore." I wasn't mad at Shadow… but the connection between him and Sonic to me, was shattered. The pieces became so small, you couldn't put them back together again.

I snatched my pack, zoomed out the room, and ran to the only person I could turn to now.

I'll return when I hear your voice again,
