Pay attention

I really expect, my story is not boring so far, I know I still don't have developed writing skills but, I'm looking forward to it. So, without more interrumptions, here is the chapter…

Amy Rose started her car. The air making her curls twirled in rythym. The sweet and silent wind drying what once were fresh tears.

Thoughts flying in her head like birds out of cage. To make things a little better she turned on the radio.

"Little do you know

How I'm breaking while you fall asleep

Little do you know

I'm still haunted by the memories

Little do you know

I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece

Little do you know

I need a little more time"

Amy quickly shut off the radio, her rosy lips let out an ephemeral sigh. She got out of her car and prepared to enter a fancy café. When she opened the door, she was welcomed with sweet aromas and soft chatting, it was peaceful and she felt comfortable enough.

She spotted a table near a wide window, where she could see a few people pass. She sat there, in silence, until a pair of excited amethyst eyes watch her intently.

"Knuckes?" Said the pink beauty.

The sparkle extended to his lips, showing a small smile in the face of a toned red echidna.

"Hey there Amy. Long time no see huh?"

"I was tired of hearing all of your complaints at the phone." A soft laugh escaped his mouth. "By the way, I thought you were at the school reunion with Rouge."

Amy wiggled her eyebrows in a cocky way, her eyes looking at him. "So you remember her then."

An exasperated sigh was heard. "How could I forget ."

A sweet and sincere giggle echoed through Knuckles' ears.

"I am quite sure you said she wasn't just a fling, if I recall correctly you said she was a pretty girl with a great and big..."

The next thing he does is cover her mouth with his index finger, shushing her. An unbearable smirk formed on Amy's lips and she pulled off Knuckles' finger.

"I was going to say heart. I do not know what were you thinking of.

The echidna's cheeks turned as red as his skin. He was clearly embarrased.

The pink female lasted a second to realize what he was thinking. "Pervert". She softly punched him in the arm.

"I always knew you had something for the bat girl, and it is not just lust."

He simply responded by shaking his broad shoulders.

Unbeknownst to them, in the other corner of the café, a pair of emerald irises were watching their little chit chat.

A small frown was dominant on his lips. His eyebrows were as scrunched as his nose. The flame he felt within him was burning his soul. The cerulean male knew they were only friends, but that was the problem, he hated the fact that the two of them were so close, if only he could talk with her without yells, curses or even tears. He was totally jealous.

While Sonic was on fire, Knuckles and Amy were discussing until a ringtone sounded, alarming both of them.

Amy made a face and said. "Speaking of the devil."

After that being said she answered the call. "Hey Rouge ~ ." The way she said the bat's name, rolling slowly, so slowly off her tongue. Knuckles tensed a little at the sound of her name.

"I am okay, I truly am. I am actually relaxing with an old friend of us." Her jade eyes directing to her esculpted friend. " Yeah, he was nice enough to stay with me."

On the other line Rouge's eyes shot open when she heard it was a him.

"Who is it?"

"Wouldn't you want to know by yourself?"

"Come on Amy!"

"You will find out soon. I love ya!"

With that the female hedgehog hang up her phone and looked straight to amethyst eyes.

"It was lovely to see you again, but your girlfriend is making her way up to my house at this exact moment so I really need to go."

"Don't worry, I bet she ain't easy to handle."

"You have to hang out with her, she will be excited."

"I will definitely think about it. Oh and Amy you look stunning, someone could take you away."

"I am going to be fine." Finishing her sentence, she hugged him tight.

"Goodbye Knux." He winked at her.

Sonic noticed Amy was coming his way so the next time he does is grab the menu and hide his face with it. An oblivious Amy walks past him and a bell sounds when she closed the door.

Alert, his emerald irises follow her figure, until she hopps inside her car. She followed the usual route to get to her apartment. Sonic silently followed her, with moderate speed so she would not notice.

After about 30 minutes, Amy parked her car in front of a big building, which looked very elegant and modern.

When she got off of the car, his heart beat increased believing she would identify his car his blue car, how new of him, but she remained as if nothing had happened.

The creak of the door was like a whisper when she opened it. When she released the handle and the sound of the door was heard closing, she walked in and let out a heavy sigh.

A nap could do well after so much drama, she was closing the window curtains that led to the balcony when she noticed the starred sky, she was lucky she could see this landscape. The breeze gently rubbed her face, the light of the moon making all her finest features stand out. Without her consent, Sonic was admiring and worshipping her beauty.

It was always like that, he'd never, but like never-never admit it but Sonic felt attracted to Amy from the very start, the thing was he had ( and always has ) been too shy. When he watched at her in times like this, he would remember the day they met.

14 years ago...

It was a normal day for everyone, all schools opening their doors again. Beginning of the school year, a few sincere laughs and a shed tears of children who did not want to release the warm arms of their mothers.

In a particular school, the sound of the bell warned that it was time to start the class, with this the hallways emptied quickly, with a small exception:

A tender and helpless hedgehog was sitting near the principal's office, her spikes used as hair were trimmed, and her jade eyes, the color of virgin and uncharted waters, were filled with tears that did not touch the ground but , with her fragile hands she caught them.

"Amy, sweetheart, everything will be fine." The person who said this was a stylish white hedgehog with a slender body and ocean eyes.

"I want to go home." The tiny one cried.

Like glass, the heart of her mother broke into a million pieces.

"You will go home pretty, but first you have to stay here and be a good girl. You will see you'll enjoy it, you'll make friends and learn a lot."

Her mother's thumbs wiped all of her tears and sweetly shushed her.

"Show them who you are and what beautiful gift would be for them to have you as a friend. You my child, are truly a blessing, you are the most precious treasure I have and everything I could wish for. I love you and tomorrow I will too."

Carefully, she kissed her forehead and bid a goodbye. A tall and puffy sheep came out of the office and called:

"Amelia."

The petite girl snapped her head at her and nodded.

"Why don't you go to the playground?"

The poor child slowly, so slowly sat up and went to the playground. The first thing she did was run to where a swing was and began to sway. She was calm until a loud sound of a bell startled her and the front doors flew open and kids came out of it.

She stopped the swing and took a moment to look around her, never in her short life, she had seen so many children together in one place.

She was home-schooled. Her mother had always been her teacher and, being an only child mean she didn't have much contact with other children. This was new for her.

She walked and walked marvelling at the place suddenly, out of nowhere, a blue hedgehog bumped shoulders with her. Both of them, after the collision, they turned out and fell in the sand. The boy rapidly sat up and extended his hand to the girl across him. She examines it before taking it.

The female opened her mouth and all she could say was: "Thank you ehmm..."

"My name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog."

"Mine is Amy, Amy Rose."

His eyes traced her petite form. "Your name fits you well."

The pink girl showed off her pearly teeth while she thought about her mother.

"Well, I think my mom has a creative mind."

"Where are you from?"

"I am fr-." Before she could finish her sentence, someone pushed her to the ground.

When Amy lifted her head to see who was the rude one, she saw a yellow mongoose with silky hair, her face showed utter remorse mixed with pure jealousy and anger.

"What are you doing with my Sonic?"

Amy covered her ears, the mongoose's voice sounded similar to a mosquito.

"Hold on a second Mina." Said the boy.

"Not the right moment to speak my dear."

Finally, with strength and bravery the pink female spoke:

"I do not quite understand the reason why you are fuming."

"How dare you! No one had ever spoken to me without my consent." The yellow mongoose raised her hand and slammed it against Amy's face. Sensing this was going to end bad, Sonic intervened and pushed Mina, making her causing her to slip and fall heavily.

Cries were heard in all parts of the school. Hearing this, the principal, with great worry on her face asked:

"What in someone's name happened here?"

The first to raise a hand was, of course, Mina, but Sonic presuming she was going to declare it was all Amy's fault, he spoke:

"It was Mina who caused this incident Mrs. Wool. Amy and I were playing peacefully until she slapped her."

With strong voice the principal called. "Mina Mongoose you are coming with me." The principal took Mina's hand and guided her towards the building.

Sonic turned around to see Amy was no longer behind him. He started to look for her then.

"Amy, please come on!" The boy exclaimed, he was getting anxious with each passing second. His ears were pointed to hear any sound.

Ten minutes had slipped till he heard the sound of muffled sobs, then he spotted the female : she was laying with her knees covering her face. With a soothing voice he said:

"Hey, she is gone, the principal will call her parents. I promise to you she will not do anything to you while I'm here but you have to promise me something in exchange: you have to face it because if you do not, you will let her win. Remember this, do not let anyone steal that perfect and warm smile of yours."

She looked up and threw herself to hug him. Slowly they separated but their faces were a few inches apart; this allowed them to fix their eyes on each other. Emerald eyes deeply penetrating jade jewels, their hearts pounding loudly, they felt the other could hear it.

Their lips released short, heavy breaths, from one moment to another, he raised his hand and placed it on her cheek and as if she were a porcelain doll caressed her.

Like the flash of a firefly before going out, he came over and gave her a tender kiss near her lips; then, as quickly as the sound travels, disappeared.

With a sad smile on his face, he started his car and drove away from the building. On the other hand, Amy let go of the railings of her balcony and closed the windows to return to the heat of her new home.

Overwhelming silence took over the room, felt empty, even with each of the photographs that brought to life a memory or each of the ornaments hung on the pink wall. Something small was needed and it was not a pet, Amy already possessed one as white as the clouds and stunning as a diamond.

Although Amy already knew what she needed, it seemed that the universe had not yet learned.

Was it too much to ask?

Perhaps she was not the most beautiful or the most intelligent, but she had other qualities, such as courage, effort, passion and above all love.

Before negative thoughts filled her mind, a notification of a message captivated the silence.

On the screen appeared Rouge's name with a message.

Rouge

Honey, sorry if I didn't write to you before but, to make up for all the mess today, come to the park tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.

Do not come late I will be waiting for you ;).

7:35 p.m.

Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine stronger and no matter what, she will always remember who Amy Rose is.

AN: Just a little comment, I do not hate or dislike any of the characters, it is only to develop the problem and consequently the story. Please review!
