Amy pov
My eyes slowly open and I look around out dark room with the streetlights coming in barely since our curtain wasn't covered all the way. I yawn and look to at my phone to see that it was 2A.M.
"Ugh, my sleep is getting worse and worse. This is the 5th time I woke up at this time. I wish my sleep would just go back to normal…"
For some reason, I haven't been able to get a full night's rest. Not that it bothered me, but I did get to be awake to watch Sonic sleep.
I turn slightly to see Sonic knocked out and I smile that he looked so cute. I run my hand on his face gently as he slept and then I place my hand back down to my side. Suddenly the urge to pee overcomes my body making me turn back around from him.
I slide out of the bed, letting Sonic's warm arm slide off my body gently so I wouldn't wake him.
Sonic wouldn't wake up anyway because it was the middle of the night and he is just a heavy sleeper anyway so he wouldn't even notice I was gone. My feet run on our carpet as I make my way to our bathroom outside our room. I turn on the light to it and I look at the cabinet, remembering that I bought some melatonin I should take. I open the cabinet and I take out the bottle and place it on the counter for me to open after I use the bathroom.
I exhale slightly as I sit on the toilet and I yawn heavily.
"Maybe I won't have to use the melatonin… I suddenly feel so tired and sleepy-"
The lights switch off in the bathroom and I freeze up. I look around the darkness and I flush the toilet and stand up.
"The lights are off… why-"
A big loud rumble above me shakes the roof making place my hand on the counter, knocking over something on it and the sound of heavy rain starts to pound on the roof.
"Another thunderstorm… they just won't stop coming."
I sigh and I search my way in the dark. The thunder roars again making me slightly nervous, but I knew I was going to be okay. I had been through this many times before.
"I can do this. Just find the doorknob-"
My foot trips over something causing my thigh to hit something else I couldn't see and I fall forward. A sharp pain was also followed to my thigh as I drop down to my hands in knees. The pain increases and so does my breathing and the thunder with lightning following.
My breath hitches and my eyes widen in the dark because of my unnaturally take of air.
"… oh no. I triggered it. My panic attack."
I carefully try to breathe in, but my throat already felt so tight, so I take breathing shortly. Taking small not so helpful breathes. I touch my neck while still on my hands and knees and I start to move forward.
"Ah… its bad. It's so bad. I tripped and-"
The thunder booms again making me jump in fear. Tears peak in my eyes, but I still move forward with the small ounce of consciousness had left. My hand finally touches the door, and I gasps for air as I reach for the door with my already weak hand. Tears fall out of my eyes as I twist the doorknob with no strength
I push the door open the sounds of the rain was more vocal. I cough out and my arms buckle as I crawl out. My thigh was still hurting bad making me look towards it but I tried to push on as my body went. On fight or flight mode.
"Ah… it feels like I'm going to die. I just need to get to… Sonic before it gets worse…"
I try to do my breathing technique, but my thigh hurting wasn't letting me, and I was starting to panic a lot more. I cough out loudly this time and my arms drop to the floor. I whine out since I couldn't breathe, and I let my body drop to the floor.
My eyes look around weakly as I cough and breathe harshly. I look over at our bedroom I left open and I can barely see Sonic's arm but only when the lightning flashed from the window.
"He is just right there… if I can just…" My shaky arms move slowly, and I get back up.
I carefully move my legs as well and I try to place my foot as carefully as I can to avoid falling again.
I push up and I shakily on get on my feet with a fast feeling of light headedness come after that. The sounds of panicked beathing makes me step the carefully steps. I walk over to the door and my knees go weak, but I catch myself from the walls.
"C- Come on-" I cough harshly and try to catch my breath again.
Sonic resting on the bed while the sky was so loud, it made me anxious. He was so close but if I were to fall or anything then I could make this panic attack a lot worse for myself, so I take my time, even though my body felt like I was about to combust.
Sonic and the bed were an inch away and when I finally got to it. I try to speak but my throat was so tight. So, tears came out of my eyes even more and I place my shaky hand on his arm.
I shake his arm, but I knew that wasn't going to wake him making me cry even more. My blurry tears made me more terrified so my knees go weak and I plop on the floor.
"This isn't going to work. I'm going to die."
I still shake his arm with the small amount that I could, and I feel him move his arm slowly.
My head comes up slowly and I notice that his eyes were open.
"Amelia? What are you doing on the floor?"
SONIC POV
I could barely see her, but I knew she was on the floor. I lean up from the bed and I move over to her.
"Hey?..." I reach to turn on the lamp, but it doesn't turn on.
"What? What's wrong with the lamp-"
I hear a wheezing from Amelia who didn't say anything to me making me touch her face quickly. I felt wetness on her face, so I moved quickly and brought her up to me.
"Panic attack? Why… why are you on the floor- "
Ameila coughs out and I look over her to try to understand what was even going on, but the sound of the thunder confirmed everything for me.
"Baby, why are you panicking so bad? I thought we got over this-"
Amelia knees go weak and I catch her and bring her over to me.
"Woah, okay. Okay. Just try to go ahead and focus on breathing. We can go over our panic attack exercise." I say and I sit on the bed while pulling Amelia on top of my legs for her to sit close to me.
"Here put your elbows on my shoulders so your lungs can get oxygen." I say and Amelia moves her arm to wipe her tears away and she shakes her head "no"
"No? But Amelia you really aren't breathing right. I know it's scary but we have to get your breathing under control." I say and the thunder booms even louder making me look over to the window but then I look back as Amelia pats my arm.
She pointing to her thigh and I furrow my eyebrows and look down at her thigh. It was slightly dark so I grab my phone and turn the flashlight.
"… How did you do this? You are bleeding-"
Amelia coughs harshly and whines out making me grab her arms and place her elbows on my shoulders. Amelia tries to move them back down but I pull her closer so her chest was touching mine and she couldn't put them down.
I look up at her face and her eyes are closed as she tries to catch her breath making me frown up.
"It's really bad this time. I need to get her music so she can stop hearing the thunder."
I gently move a bit away from her but that makes her wrap her arms around my neck and pull me back.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just trying to get your music."
Amelia grip increased as the thunder roared again so I quickly grab her earphones and her phone, and I unlock it. I go to her thunderstorm playlist and I press play after putting in the earphones.
Her head was on my shoulder, so I place her earphones in here ear and the loud noises for the sky become mute for her. Amelia leans up slowly, while still breathing panicked like, and looks towards the window but I stop her by placing my hand on the side of her face.
"Don't worry about the weather. Work on your breathing." I mouth to her and her lip quivers because I knew she was still panicking.
I grab her arms from around my neck and I place her elbows back on my shoulders. Amelia already coughs but she is taking slow and deep breathes through her nose and out her mouth with her eyes closed. I watch her carefully, but I also look at the spot from the floor to see how this all started to begin with.
I notice that our bedroom door is open with some of the light coming from the lightning and I also can tell the bathroom door was open. Amelia coughs again and I look back over to her and I start rubbing her back slowly.
"She must have gone to go use the bathroom but maybe that's when the power shut off on her. She probably wouldn't have gone to the bathroom if it was thunder before so it must have all occurred when she was in there." I think and I look at her pained face as she keeps on breathing.
"I didn't think it would get this bad. She even cut her leg in the dark… seems like she fell. Maybe it's bad from last time this happened."
A couple of weeks ago, I went to my hometown to go take Manic to his appointment since he was still recovering from the car crash when I was about to leave my house after taking Manic there. Amelia called me and said the power cut off and it was raining really bad. She was panicking of course because she doesn't do so that well when the power cuts off quickly.
I was about thirty minutes away though so I tried my best to get to her but she starting to have a panic attack so I called Rouge and asked her to go over to our place until I got there and she did but when I got there Amelia was a big mess and she started crying all over again once she saw me. When I held her in my arms as she talked about how scared she was I had to calm her down with some old panic attack steps we haven't used in a while because most of the time I was with her when thunder storms hit.
I really thought she got over her phobia of the dark but turns out is that she is only okay when I am there or another person. Which I hated because now it feels like I made no progress at with her phobia that I thought I did.
"But that's okay. We are going to get through these steps and get her calm again. Also, I am going to probably buy some flashlights or night lights or something to keep this from being so bad."
My eyes move back to Amelia and after breathing for a couple of moments, her breathing was slightly normal, but her tears were still coming out. I gently move my hand from her back and rubs her face to get the tears off making her eyes open to mine. Her eyes looked sad as they looked off from mine and to the side.
"She looks ashamed now… ugh Amelia."
I move her arms from my shoulders, and I pull her in way closer to me so she could rest her head on my shoulder or chest. Amelia chose my shoulders and leaned her head on the side of my face. Her arms move to the side of my body and I notice that they were shaking a bit as well.
"At least she calmed it down. Her breathing isn't as bad."
Moving on to the second step to Amelia breaking down her panic attack. I move side to side, and I rub her back to make sure she is as calm as she can be. We don't stay in this step too long because I want her to not rely on me so much to calm herself down. I know she loves this step because she was already breathing normally because of the comfort I was giving her.
Amelia sniffles here and there and I let her rest her head on my shoulder for a little bit longer until I move my hands from her back, and I push her body away from my shoulder. Amelia slowly leans up and it seems like she didn't want to move away from, but she had too.
She knows she has to be able to control this on her own, so she sat on my legs and folded her arms while not looking at me. A tear streams down her cheek that we both move to wipe away, but I get it first and her hand just touches mine. She looks at me and smiles slightly making me chuckle and she brings her arms around herself again. She was looking down now and I carefully bring her chin up so she wouldn't feel sad than she already was.
Her eyes meet mine and I wave at her. Amelia nods her head slightly and then her eyes widen from the flash of lightning. Thunder comes behind that, but she can't hear it because of the music but I know she was thinking about it. Good thing she had her favorite music playing so I know her mind won't be on it for too long.
More time passes and I continue to watch Amelia who had some tears fall from her face but not a lot so I tap her arm to see if we can go down to the next step. Her eyes move to mine and I smile at her trying to get her to smile which was too easy since she gave me a small smile too.
I tap her earbud in her ear and then I point at my ear, asking her if I could listen too. She seemed unsure because she didn't want to hear any thunder, but she knows that she can't listen to music for the rest of the night. So, Amelia carefully reaches up to her ear and takes out the earbud and puts it in my ear. She also scoots a bit closer since she could hear the rain again, but I didn't mind that.
As long as she was trying.
Amelia music was blaring in my ears, Billie Ellish, her favorite artist and I laugh a bit as I think about how her entire playlist is filled with only her. Thunder comes in and Amelia closes her eyes but takes a deep breath so she wouldn't restart all over again.
"Why is this all you listen too?" I ask her quietly and she opens her eyes slowly and looks at me. "I know I ask you that a lot but have almost every song of hers in here."
Amelia smiles and shrugs her shoulders and gently stops folding her arms around her body.
"Haha, you don't know?"
Amelia looks at me again and shrugs her shoulders making me laugh.
"What was your favorite song again?" I ask her, pretending that I forgot but I really didn't.
"Bad… bad guy." Amelia voice was weak and tiny, throwing me off because she still sounded sad.
I grab her hand and bring it to my mouth to kiss it. Her eyes travel to mine and she seems happy with the affection I was giving her.
"Oh, I remember that song. I'm the bad guy." I sing a bit and she smiles at me and lets out a small laugh. " Let's play it."
I reach for her phone and I change it to the song and then I place it back down on the bed. The fast and cool beat starts to play, and I dance side to side on the bed making it rock and Amelia looks at me dance making her smile again.
Which is what I was trying to do.
"Wait, this song is really a banger." I whisper and she nods her head and laughs at me dancing.
The entire song plays out and it starts to play another song but from Amelia smiling and laughing at me dancing and sing quietly. I think it's time for the next step. I take my ear bud out and she watches it swing down. Her worried face comes back as she looks down at the ear bud so I pick her head up making her take a another deep breath.
"You wanna join me? It's kind of rude to talk to someone while listening to music."
Amelia looks down at the earbud and she looks back up at me. She confidently and shakily takes it out and places it down.
"Hey, good job." I say as I pull her closer and rub her shoulders.
Amelia nods her head and she looks over at the window but then quickly back to me because she was trying not to think about it.
"Okay, I'll help her take her mind off of thinking about the thunder."
"How did you do this?" I ask pointing at her thigh.
Amelia looks at her leg and frowns slightly.
"I… I tripped in the dark and I think I scarped it on a cabinet I left open in the… the bathroom."
"Yeah… so I guess right."
I nod my head and thunder booms on cue making her move even closer to me.
"Hey. Hey. You did it on accident. You really aren't even doing as bad as you used too. If you never would have fell, then you would be fine." I say and she plays with her nails and closes her eyes as flashes of light would come in through our window.
"I… I know…"
Amelia sounded even more sad than last time and I look at her face. I touch her cheek and her lip starts to quiver again.
"Amelia… its okay. Nothing is going to harm you." I say and I kiss her forehead, but she takes a gasp of air.
"B-but it did." She says and tears start coming out her eyes again.
The thunder comes back to making her jump and she looks at me panicked.
"I-I-I can't do this."
"Yes, you can baby. Look at me." I say and she does with tears coming out. "I won't let nothing happen to you, okay? You are safe-"
"But by myself its always bad." Amelia says and folds her arms again. "It's always bad when I'm by myself so nothing is never going to get better with me. I panic when I am alone so we weren't fixing anything this entire time with my phobia-"
"Stop. Hey. You are just thinking negative." I say bringing her closer to me, so she is laying on my shoulder again.
"It's the truth Sonic. I can't do this without you. I-I-I don't like being alone in thunder still without you. Or the dark. I always get hurt-" Amelia coughs out and I try to lean her up but she clings onto me.
"Babe. I think your panic attack is flurrying again. You need to breathe-"
"I am b-breathing. I want to be held for a moment. Please. I'm scared." She begs me and she buries her face in my shirt.
Her breathing was starting to get bad making me sigh. I reach for her earbuds and I place them back in her ear before the thunder made anything worse. Amelia cries softly into my chest and I rub her back, trying to comfort her.
"And we almost had it under control. Maybe I shouldn't have brought up her leg. I'm sure it still hurts and is probably reminding her every second… sorry Amelia."
Once again, we go through all the steps, but we were stuck on her having her earbuds in. The thunder wasn't even as bad anymore but she was going even slower with the steps, so I let her. Amelia, on her own, places the earbud in my ear herself and she tries to keep her head up. She looks over my arms and body since she probably wanted me to hold her, but it seems like she was trying her best to overcome this her own.
Another Billie Ellish song plays after the next and I start to hum this one since I knew from her playing it so much. I smile at her for not crying anymore and being a lot stronger than last time.
"Good job, baby." I say to her and she looks at me and nods her head. "How do you feel?"
"… drained but… I think im okay." She says and she even takes the earbuds out.
I watch her in shock and so I do the same. Amelia sighs and we both listen to our bedroom. Outside the rain was thumping on the roof and slapping the window but the thunder had stopped. And so, did Amelia panic episode. Now she was back with fidgeting with her fingernails and the sheets.
"Thanks again." She says and I nod my head.
The room was really quiet, and Amelia got up from my lap and sat on the bed instead.
"I'll try to get better…" she whispers.
"You already have. You did those steps so quickly." I say and she doesn't say much.
"Only because you are here." She says and she sighs." I was okay with the thunder and being in the dark before it happened that other time when I was by myself. It's just when bad moments happen in the dark it just stays with me. I think that's my problem."
"I think so too."
I reach over and I grab her soft hand. Amelia looks down at it and smiles.
"But… what if we made a better moment. To equal it out." I ask and her eyes connect to mine.
"You said that last time when we were locked in that hot storage room at school during our club festival day." She says and I laugh as I remember that.
"I did. And we still can."
I lean up and I kiss her on her forehead. I look down to her eyes and she touches the side of my face and brings me in close to her lips that I kiss. She kisses me back and I crawl over her legs to get on top of her.
Her arms slowly come around my back as I kiss her and then I kiss her neck gently. I make my way back to her chest and I kiss it through the t-shirt she had on. I keep on going lower and lower and her hands that were on my back slide up to my hair.
I go even lower as I remember she hurt her leg that was slightly purple. I kiss it gently trying not to hurt it even more.
"Mmm." Amelia says and I look at her, looking a little tense.
"Sorry, did it hurt when I did that?" I ask crawling back up to her face.
"Just a little." Amelia says and I nod my head.
"Sorry baby." I say and I kiss her cheek and all over her face.
"It's okay…" she says softly and I look over her face trying to think about how to do something to make her happy.
An idea pops up in my head and I smile to myself.
"Come on my chest, baby." I ask her and she perks up and crawls in between my legs.
She had a small smile as she got closer to me making laugh because she loved to cuddle with me. She lays her head on my chest and I slide down a bit so she could be laying on me and I would be laying down as well. I wrap my arm her shoulder and I kiss her head as she curls her legs and snuggles close into my neck almost.
Her arm spreads across my chest and sighs happily already making me look at her smile.
"I'm glad that perfect smile is back." I say making her look at me.
"It's because I love you a lot." She says.
"You do?" I ask making her laugh and she shoves me. " What? I didn't know that. I thought we were just friends or something."
"You did know. Stop lying. Lying is bad."
"Lying isn't bad unless you get caught and how are you going to tell me what I know? I really didn't know that you loved me. I thought we were just really good friends." I say and Amelia looks at me with a playful smile.
"Sonic, remember when I talked about kidnapping you during our second picnic date because you kept on saying "you don't want to marry me" and "I'm not going to give you affection?" Amelia brings up and I chuckle.
"Yeah and you was talking about stealing my identification."
"Good that you remember. Because that hasn't changed. I'll lock you in this room until the end of time." She says and rubs my chin softly.
"Lock me in here until the end of time? But we live together."
"So, and I'll still keep you here until the end of time." She jokes and I smile.
"I don't mind. As long as I get fed, I'll be fine with that. I'll stay with you as long as you want me too." I say and Amelia laughs but then it fades out as she looks past my head and to the bedroom door.
"That's good to know… seems like I need you a lot."
I turn my head fully to Amelia who looks away from the door and scoots closer to me.
"She still is thinking about it."
I kiss her forehead a couple of times and she smiles and sighs softly like she was stressed.
"Princess." I say and she blushes slightly and looks at me with her big green eyes.
"Yes?"
"Why are you being negative?" I ask and she blushes even more and shrugs her shoulders.
"I just want to get over my phobia…"
"Hey, you will." I say move a loose curl from her face" You are working on it. You just had a minor setback, but we will get you back. Okay?"
Amelia looks at me like she wants to agree but she just nods her head slowly.
"That didn't really look like you were agreeing with me that you would get over it." I say and Amelia groans turns her face fully into my neck now, so her face was hidden.
"I just feel sad. Sorry, that's why I answered like I did." Amelia whines.
"Sad?"
"Yes, I'm sad because I'm trying my best and then I backtrack."
"Okay, so that means I have to sing to you to make you happy." I say and her head picks up fast.
"Sing to me?" Amelia asks leaning up.
"Haha… I know it makes you happy when I sing to you and I don't like you being sad-"
"OKAY! WHAT SONG! CAN IT BE A LOVE SONG?!" Amelia hops up fully and sits in front of me and cross her legs with a big smile.
" A love song? I hate singing love songs-"
"B-B-BUT YOU SAID YOU WOULD SING ME A SONG TO MAKE ME HAPPY SO CAN IT BE A LOVE SONG!"
Her happy face was impossible to say "no" to, so I clear my throat and start thinking of a song. Amelia starts to clap her hands and bounce on the bed making me laugh.
"Okay, I'll sing that little pussy ass romance song "Something Right" by Chelsea Lankes you wanted me to duet with you-"
"AHHH! REALLY! SONIC-"
"Yes, now come back to me so you aren't just staring me in the eye-"
Amelia moves back to me quickly and plops her body back on mine making me laugh and she laughs too as she gets up super close to my face so she could watch me sing to her.
"No, you have to close your eyes." I say and Amelia nods her head quickly and closes her eyes.
Amelia goes silent and the only sound I can hear is her breathing and the light tapping of the storm that passed over. I sigh and I feel my face already burn up but then I overcome my shyness because I really wanted my girlfriend to be as happy as she usual is.
I start the song by humming since that's how the song started from me hearing it and Amelia arms wrap around my neck as she closes her eyes and listens.
"Summer night…. We've been here a hundred times. By tonight… I can't stop looking in your eyes." I sing softly as I look at our dark ceiling.
"I didn't realize… That we could be more than this. It took me by surprise. Catch me I'm falling… falling… falling. How did I find you out?..." I sing softly as I look down slightly at her smiling like an idiot making me chuckle a bit.
"I wasn't even looking… How did I find this love?" I sing leaning my head back.
"When it was least expected…" Amelia sings softly, and I laugh.
"Babe, this is my solo. Not an Amelia Rose feature." I say and Amelia giggles and opens her eyes to me.
"But that's my part and then it's your turn." She says and I roll my eyes. "We should harmonize. Let's start at… the part you left off."
"Ugh." I say and close my eyes while Amelia laughs and kisses my cheek.
"Please… just the chorus." Amelia begs me and I nod my head agreeing. "Okay. Okay. You go."
I open my eyes and take a deep breath coming back in the song.
"How did I find this love…" I sing and I hear Amelia take a breath.
"When it was least expected…" Amelia sings and she sounds amazing as usual and we both take another breath to sing together.
"But I won't let it go… I need you by my side…" we sing perfectly making me look at her and she was singing with her eyes closed.
"And I want you to know… We're on to something right…" we sing and then Ameila opens my eyes and stares at me softly.
Amelia rubs her hand on my face and then rubs my bottom lip and looks back at me.
"You do know this song is like our love story, right?" she says and smilies. " We both came in each other's life at the most random moment but the perfect time. I'm glad our algebra teacher made me help you that first day. Then we would probably not be here in each other's arms."
Amelia says and sighs happily this time.
"We were so lucky when we thought everything was shit at that time." She says and I laugh.
"We were."
We stare into each other's eyes and Amelia pulls my head down and kisses my lips. I kiss her back and when we release, she still seemed very happy.
"Thanks for singing for me. It really changed my mood."
"Of course. I'd… I'd do anything for you." I say and Amelia giggles.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You always do this, haha!" Amelia says pulling the cover over us and I smile and sink more down into the bed so we would be covered.
"I told you it's because I love you. When you smile like that, all I can think about is how much I'm in love with you." I say and Amelia laughs even more and blushes.
"How deep are you in love with me?"
"What kind of question is that?" I ask her.
"A good question." She says and I stare at her as the answer to that question comes quick.
"To where you are the first thing I think about when I wake up and then you being the last thing in my mind when I sleep." I say and Amelia laughs softly and smiles even more.
"What do you think about?"
"Well, if it isn't your gorgeous face, beautiful personality, and your smartness. Then it's definitely your ass."
My joke makes Amelia laughs loudly and I laugh with her as she wipes her tears. I watch her laugh and ask more questions about how I felt about her until she fell asleep again and I follow right after her.
Letting her be my last thought as I fall asleep.
Amy POV
Sonic had been snoring off and on as he rests his head on my lap while he sleeps the Saturday morning away. His strong back and long arms covered my legs as I scrolled on my phone while I waited for him to wake up and complain immediately about waking up to early even though it was almost 11A.M, I was glad that he let me even get out of the bed again to bandage my leg but after I came back to the bed he cuddled on my lap and had been sleeping for the longest time.
` "At least he is warm." I think as I run my hand on his back, possibly making him sleep even more.
This was our routine almost every start of our weekend together. Sometimes I would go make breakfast for us in the morning and then other times I would make lunch because Sonic wakes up so late. Most of the time it was lunch.
Sonic moves his head, making me think he was waking up only when he was just getting even more comfortable. His snoring started again and that confirmed that he wasn't getting up anytime soon for sure now.
Suddenly I get a text from Cass making me excited and I open our chat to reply immediately.
"AMYYYYYYYY! I HEARD ABOUT THE CONTRACT! I JUST GOT DONE ASKING TAILS ABOUT IT AND HE TOLD ME YOU GUYS POSSIBLY GOT THE CONTRACT WE ASKED FOR!"
"YES CASSIE! So far, the contract is exactly how we wanted but I made them put us in a contract trial just in case because you really can't trust record companies, like me and you talked about earlier, but I really can't wait." I reply back and Cass replys back instantly.
"HEY! AND I NEED TO COME TO THE NEXT MEETING!... SINCE MS. FIONA IS TAKING MY SPOT… I can't believe you guys are letting her take my spot…" Cass sends a sad emoji and I gasp quietly.
"NONONONONO CASSIE! You are more like our assistant than a manager so that's better. Plus Ms. Fiona comes with the prize so it's not like we can just kick her out or anything. She is just trying to help is what it seems, but I promise you that you will be by our side through everything. And you are coming to the next meeting anyway!" I text.
"Really?! OKAY! I just thought you guys replaced me, but I wasn't thinking that. BUT I'LL BE READY! SEND THE CONTRACT SO I CAN STUDY IT! WE WILL TALK LATER!" he says, and I send him a email of the contract.
As I send it, I look at the contract myself and read over everything I wrote.
"I just want everything on the contract to be everything we talked about before. Hopefully we are using this resource the best of our use. I want this experience to be great for all of us." I think as I start to scratch Sonic's back and he grumbles.
I place my phone down quickly and I look down at Sonic who eyes are still closed.
"Are you awake?" I ask softly.
"Mmmm." Sonic says and I look at him annoyed.
"You should wake up so I can make us some food… It's almost lunch so maybe we can have brunch?" I suggest.
"…mmmm…" Sonic says lowly and then he starts to snore again.
"Sonic…" I say quietly but then I let it go since he was already back to sleeping.
Another round of thirty minutes pass and Sonic heavy body on my legs was starting to make me feel restless. I look away from my phone after watching a random recipe video and I place my hand in his hair and start to scratch his scalp gently, hoping that it would wake him up, but I think it was doing the opposite.
I open Facebook since I had already been through most of my apps and since I was so bored, I decide to go to the worst app of them all. My feed was full of trash and fake news until I come across the page of Tokyo's festival page. It was a picture of us after we won and a lot of positive comments. I smile to myself and I start to go through them.
Everyone was calling Sonic attractive and me lucky and that made me laugh. Also comments about me jumping off the speaker was on there too and really just comments about everything.
"Everyone is so nice."
I read over more comments and I stop on a comment that had almost eight hundred likes.
"I am not sure if this comment will make it too you Amelia but this is your-"
I stop reading as I look at the next word and I click on the commenters profile. Their profile consisted with a picture of a woman with pink hair and green eyes. She looked older but her smile made her look so young. I stare at the picture and I blink softly as I exit out of the picture and I look at more picture of her.
She had a family of three. Her husband and her daughter… who also had green eyes, but her hair was darker than her mom's. Still pink but magenta in a way. I keep on scrolling until I stop at a post made almost 5 years ago.
"It's been almost 18 years since I lost my daughter Amelia Rose… I'm not giving up, but I am definitely finding lighter in my life ever since I stopped my drug addiction. I just want to let everyone know that anything is possible. I have remarried and I have a child now. Just know you can always change your life around even if it seems impossible. And it won't be perfect until I find my other daughter, so I am making this post to find her."
The post consists of all of the information about her daughter. The picture was of her when she was about five or three, but that picture was probably not so helpful since it had been so long.
My hand shakes a bit as I look over the picture of the girl with pink curly hair and I go back to the comment under the post of us winning.
"I am not sure if this comment will make it too you Amelia, but this is your mother. Possibly. I saw the livestream because of my daughter, and I know that, its you. It's your mother and if you can just contact me or add me I would greatly appreciate it. I really doubt you will even see this but if everyone can just like the message so it can be at the top and maybe she will see it. I lost Amelia at a very irresponsible and stressful time in my life to the foster home and they ended up losing her when she was getting moved on and on in them. So please help me out so I can try to contact her. Maybe she is my daughter I have been looking for."
I stare at the message and then I look at Sonic quickly. I shake his back and he grumble annoyed.
"Sonic." I say and Sonic sighs heavily and he flips his head back and opens his eyes.
"Yes, Amy." He says tiredly
"Um… I- I think I just found my mom? Maybe." I say and Sonic eyes open bigger and he leans up.
"Your what?" he asks and I show him my phone.
Sonic take it and sits down and yawns as he reads my phone. He scratches his head and starts to click on things and he stops suddenly as he looks at her probably. Sonic looks at me and then he looks back down to it.
"Um… her smile and her hair. It's exactly like yours." He says and I freeze.
"So… so it might really be her." I think and Sonic clicks on something.
"I'm adding her." He says and I jump and grab my phone.
"You what?! But how do we even know it's really her?" I say and Sonic shrugs his shoulders.
"It wouldn't hurt to add her. She has so many alike things as you. You guys could possibly pass as sisters, but she really looks like you." He says and that makes me stop thinking. "Maybe she will add you back."
"My mom-"
A notification goes off on my phone and Sonic eyes widen making me freak out.
"What is it?!" I ask crawling over to Sonic to look at the notification.
It says that Ribbon Rose Suzuki added me back.
A shaky breath comes out of my mouth and I look away from my phone.
"What if it's really her… why would she try to find me after I get a little bit popular."
"She texted you." Sonic says and I don't even look at him this time. "Do you want me to open it?" he asks and suddenly my life at many fosters homes flash before my eyes.
"What if… what if it is her. Then I would have something I never had before- but there is no way. Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up so quick." I think but then I start to wonder if it really was her again.
A warm hand touches my shoulder and I turn back to Sonic smiling at me.
"Let's just see what they want. Who knows if it's her or not? She doesn't know if it's really you or not so let's just try. I can text for you if you are nervous." He says and I nod my head quickly and turn back towards him.
Sonic clicks on things on my phone and I squeeze my hands since I was nervous of the response.
"She said: "Hi, is this Amelia Rose? This isn't a fan account or someone texting for her manager is it?" Sonic says and then he looks at me.
"Um… I don't know how to reply-"
"Okay, I'll say…" Sonic starts typing and talking at the same time. "Hey, this actually is me. I saw your comment under the post, and I wanted to reach out to see if you were really my mom. I looked at your pictures and you look like me but anyone could really look like me so some proof would be great."
Sonic says and then he looks at me to see if that's what I wanted to say but I didn't even know how to respond to what he wrote because I had a big feeling it really was her.
"Um… I guess that's okay." I say softly and Sonic stares at me, possibly trying to read me out.
"I'll send it then." He says and I nod my head.
He sends it and the room gets really quiet as we wait for her to reply back. Sonic reaches for me to come to him and I slowly do, and I sit by his side and he wraps his arm around my shoulder.
"You are so nervous. Making me nervous and excited for you because you really think it's her." He says and I look at my blank screened phone.
"I really do… even though it's really just a random stranger saying they know me under the post but she looks so real. She had friends and pictures from years ago so… maybe she really found me." I say and then my phone lightens up with a reply from her.
I swallow heavily and Sonic picks it up and unlocks it.
"Do you want me to read it or do you want to read it? What's more comfortable for you?" he asks.
"You can read it." I say and he nods his head and opens her message.
"She said "Of course you need proof. This is probably very untrustworthy to be saying I'm your parent but… my proof is that you went to foster care when you were about three, your birthday is September 23 (it just passed, sorry I missed it) and you have a birthmark right on your butt cheek. I remember it was in the shape of a heart! Sorry, my proof is wonky, but I think I really found you Amelia. If this is true."
Sonic doesn't even look back at me after all of that and I look off slightly.
"She knows about my birthmark. Maybe it is her-"
"She also sent a picture of your birth certificate. Um, I think this really is her." He says and shows me the birth certificate.
Sonic brings the phone closer to my face and I read over the birth certificate.
"It has all my information on it… even my social security number… and my blood type."
I look away from the phone and I almost want to scream and freak out because the proof she was giving us was on point.
"It's really her. After all these years. All these long years of my life and she finally appears. When I'm not struggling to have a home for even two years… After I finally understand love from a person." I think and I slightly start feeling different and Sonic rubs his hand on my back.
"You okay? Was the information, right?" he asks and I snap out of it.
"Yeah… so it really is her." I say and Sonic doesn't say anything, and I don't either.
I really don't know what to say.
"Okay, I can send her my number or yours… I sent her message saying that she was correct, and she seems pretty happy and excited. She said she was crying tears right now and wanted to meet you." Sonic says and I clench my hand again.
"She… she wants to meet me? Me meeting my mom…"
"Babe?" Sonic says leaning down to look at me and I look at him.
"Yeah?" I say and Sonic places the phone down for a moment and turns fully to me.
"What are you thinking. You are super quiet now." He says.
"I don't know… I don't know how to act because I've never had nothing like this before. Should I be excited?" I ask.
"Haha, sure. It's weird she found you now but… Maybe you don't have to be excited. You never really had parents before so I think the way you are acting now is how you should be." He says.
"I… I just feel confused. I feel a weird emotion, but I don't understand it." I say and Sonic looks over my face.
"Maybe its old feelings and new feelings clashing. I don't know if you were mad when you were younger-"
"I wasn't…" I say and I look at my phone. "I wasn't mad because I didn't think she existed- I never really thought about this at all because all I wanted to do was play instruments and get in trouble." I say and Sonic laughs and reaches for my phone.
"Well, whatever how you feel. I think it will all make sense and come out if you meet her. I think you should. It would be… a different experience and then if it works out… you can have a mom." He says and that makes me feel slightly happy.
"A mom…" I say and Sonic nods his head.
I look at my phone in his hand and I reach for it. He hands it too me and watches me carefully as I open it. I stare at the message and I gently press the keys to send her my number and I hit send myself. Sonic kisses my head on cue and rubs my arm and soon I get a notification in my messages and I go to that.
"Hi! I'll send a picture of myself just to make sure you know its me." She says and a picture comes after and it's her with tears in her green eyes and she is in a t-shirt. Her curly hair was so much more tamed than mine, making me wonder if she knew the secret to take care of my hair.
"Wow, she looks so much like me."
I look over at Sonic and he looks at me from looking at the phone.
"Should I send a picture back?" I ask and Sonic smiles at me and takes my phone.
"Let's take it together." He says and I blush already as he turns on the camera.
Sonic smiles at the camera and he looks over to me and noticing that I am panicking slightly.
"Come on. It's just an easy picture." He says and I nod my head.
"Should I smile…" I think as I scoot closer to Sonic and I look at the camera.
"Ready?" he asks, and I nod my head and smile slightly and he takes it.
I wait for Sonic to ask why I didn't smile like I usually did and then he hands me back the phone.
"Reply back to her and maybe we can meet her soon." He says and a certain word he said makes me look at him.
"We?" I ask and Sonic looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Yeah? I'm not about to let you meet this woman by yourself? That's why we took the picture together… and why I texted for you… and you are my girlfriend … and I thought we did stuff like this together." Sonic says and I blush.
"Right. Okay." I say and then I look back to the blank message bar below the picture we just took.
I type a small message and the nerves kick in quick but remembering that Sonic was with me gave me extra courage.
"Hello, this is so weird. I hope this is really you and you think it's really me. I sent a picture back as well, so you know its me. Oh, and the guy in the picture is my boyfriend, Sonic. But you probably already know that. I also am not that sure what else to say but if we could meet in person, I'd like that. You have all my information, so I think that we really found each other again. IF you are interested though. I'm not sure what you are doing or have been doing or where you are, but I really want to meet you. Just let me know."
I send it and then I have another burst of courage to double text her again.
"I would really like to meet you, mom."
Thoughts?
