Hey…I'm back! I honestly really have no explanation for my absence. All I can say is that I ran out of inspiration for the next chapters but after some time away, I got all the inspiration I need. So, thank you for reviews from the last chapter. I'm surprised everyone liked it. I had a smile on my face like you had no idea. Lol anyway, sorry for the absence and hopefully it won't happen again. But I might need to stop for a while because I have Mid-terms next week and I need to study. So, enjoy!
Amy and Sonic both gasped and broke away. Sonic turned his head to the voice and growled at the hedgehog that was standing right in front of him. Amy hid behind Sonic not wanting to look.
"Well look who it is. I figured you two had a thing." Taylor spoke, crossing his arms.
"Taylor what the hell are you doing here?" Sonic asked, growling.
"Well, I am one of the chaperons. Didn't you know?"
"I did but I didn't think you'd actually be here." Sonic replied.
"Well, I am and I certainly do not allow any form of physical touch on my watch. So head inside the dance and I'll be watching you two." Taylor glared, walking back inside the dance. Amy had her eyes closed the whole time trying not to cry.
"He's gone Amy. Man I hate him." Sonic sighed.
Amy turned to face him and smiled shortly. She hoped her eyes weren't watery because she didn't want to explain to Sonic anything.
"That's good. We might as well listen to what he says…" She said, making her way inside the gym.
He looked at her walking away and clenched his fists. "So close…"
He walked inside and met up with his friends sitting at a table.
"How did it go?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah! Tell us about it!" Silver excitedly exclaimed.
"Nothing happened." He replied, somewhat upset.
"Wait what happened? You guys didn't fight right?" Rouge asked, worriedly.
Sonic shook his head.
"No. It's just that…Taylor…" Sonic replied.
"Uh oh. What did he do?" Knuckles asked.
"He interrupted us when we were about to kiss. He caught us." He explained.
Everyone groaned.
"So where's Amy?" Cream asked.
"I don't know. I thought she was with you guys." Sonic responded.
"She went to the bathroom." Shadow spoke, walking up to them.
"Tonight was supposed to be a great dance for her. I promised myself that but with Taylor here it won't happen." Sonic muttered.
"It's alright. There's always more you can do with Amy outside of school. Take her out on a date or something like that." Tails suggested.
"That's a good idea! Thanks guys. I think I have some planning later on in the next few days. I'll see what I can do."
"Nothing cheesy though. Be unique and do your own thing. We girls like surprises." Rouge advised.
"Thanks. You'll be surprised with what I have planned." Sonic grinned. Clasping his hands together.
Amy walked up to her group and waved at everyone.
"What's up guys?" She asked, trying to sound like she was perfectly fine.
"We're good. How about you?" Silver asked.
"I'm great." She lied. She looked at Sonic and gave him a gentle smile. He grinned.
"So, what else can we do at this party?" Amy asked.
Everyone shrugged. She sat down on an empty chair and looked at her watch.
"It's still kind of early…" She mumbled to herself.
All of a sudden the unexpected happened.
The fire alarms went off and every student in the gym ran out screaming. The Sonic gang all stood up and looked around to see what was happening. They all started coughing when black smoke filled the gym. Sonic ordered everyone to leave the gym and everyone left except Amy.
"Amy go now!" Sonic yelled, covering his nose.
"I see someone stuck over there!" She yelled back, pointing at the unknown hedgehog.
"I'll save him. Please just leave." Sonic ordered.
"No. I'm not leaving you!" Amy exclaimed. She ran towards the figure and he had no choice but to follow her. Amy was coughing uncontrollably but someone was in trouble and she needed to help. Once she got a better view of who it was, she gasped.
"Amy…help me…" Taylor asked, reaching his hand out to her.
Amy took a few steps back and tripped on something which caused her to fall back.
"N-No…not you…" Amy nervously mumbled.
"Ames what's wrong. Why are you on the floor?" Sonic asked.
She pointed to Taylor.
"Well, if it isn't Taylor. Why are you still here?" Sonic asked.
The fire started growing faster and Amy started to get dizzy. Sonic also began getting dizzy but he wasn't going to lose consciousness. He looked down at Amy and realized she had already inhaled a lot of black smoke and that she was going to faint any second now.
"Amy I need to get you out of here…" He coughed.
He picked her up and began running out the exit. She looked terrible and he knew she needed to be taken to the hospital quick. She heard him growl when a piece of metal scratched his arm, leaving him with an open wound that needed to be treated.
Once he arrived at the exit, he was being hugged by Amy.
"Don't save him. He deserves to die." Amy spoke, but her chest was in pain.
"I can't do that Amy. As much as I hate him as well, I can't leave him here knowing that I could have saved him. I'll be okay." He went outside and a few firefighters ran up to them.
"Are you guys alright? Is there anyone left inside the building?" A fireman asked.
"There is. I'll save him. Just get her an ambulance. She inhaled too much smoke." Sonic replied.
The fireman nodded and carried Amy away. She held her arm out trying to reach him but he was already gone.
"Sonic stop!" Tails yelled.
Sonic was already inside the building. He began coughing. He held his right arm trying to protect his wound. He found Taylor in the same spot but he had already lost consciousness. Sonic moved all the objects that were on top of him and tried carrying him over his shoulder. As soon as he got Taylor, he tried walking as fast as he could.
Amy was being strapped inside the ambulance with machines surrounding her. Her eyes went wide when someone yelled the building was going to blow.
BOOOM!
The gym exploded. Amy couldn't yell but she began crying. Her heart rate began increasing and the nurses did what they could to calm her down. The ambulance took off. She started to black out and the last thing she could remember was the explosion and Sonic still inside the building.
Amy slowly opened her eyes and noticed everyone surrounding her. She was confused of why she was in bed with wires and machines surrounding her.
"W-What happened? Where am I?" Amy asked.
"You're in the hospital." Blaze replied.
"Why am in the hospital," she asked herself until she remembered everything. "Where is he?"
Everyone looked at each other with sadness in their eyes. They didn't know what to say but the silence was enough for Amy to make a conclusion.
"He didn't survive the explosion…" Amy whispered.
Silence again.
Amy then began getting up removing all the wires that were attached to her.
"Amy no! Where are you going?!" Silver asked, terrified.
"I'm going to look for Sonic. I want to see him!" Amy yelled, fighting off her friends who were trying to maintain her.
"Doctor! Doctor! We need help!" Rouge cried.
3 nurses and a doctor ran in. They helped Amy calm down and lay her back in bed. She was upset and angry. She didn't care about her condition at the moment. She wanted to see Sonic.
"Ms. Rose what is it that you'd like to know?" The doctor asked.
"Is Sonic alive? Did he survive the explosion?" She asked.
The doctor sighed. "I'm sorry to inform you this Ms. But unfortunately he did not make out in time. He struggled to help someone else and they both passed. I am very sorry once again."
Amy yelled as loud as she could. Her blood was boiling. It was Taylor's fault. He was the reason why Sonic didn't make it out alive.
She wasn't going to let this go.
A/N: So, I went back to my last chapter and I realized I said I might post a Christmas one-shot and that was an accident. Something happened with my Christmas one-shot and I deleted it. But, I hope this chapter was enough to make up for my absence. It's a bit longer than my other chapters and if this chapters gets a few reviews, I'll update another chapter for tomorrow. I really want to continue XD. I hope you enjoyed!
