ROBBED
Chapter Three
/BANG BANG BANG/
"Amy? Amy!"
Amy set on the edge of her bed, staring placidly out the window. It was a matter of time before Sonic would come over himself. She knew that, yet she hoped he would put it off a little longer. She wasn't quite ready to face him.
"C'mon Amy, open up!"
No..., she thought. What if it wasn't Sonic? What if it was ...him... and he was using Sonic to get her outside?
"Rouge told me you weren't feeling well..."
She did what?!
"I wanted to make sure you're ok..."
Aw, he was so sweet.
"We haven't done anything together in a while..."
"Three weeks and four days!"
Oh damn. Did she just say that out loud?
"...Um, yeah. But I want to do something, and I've been really worried about you."
She wasn't going to talk anymore.
"AMY!"
Keep staring out the window...
"I'm not leaving you."
The poor girl didn't know what he was wasting his time for. She wasn't going to budge.
"I'll break this down down if I have to!"
I dare you...
Almost as if he could read her thoughts, Sonic gave one final bang on door before proclaiming, "Don't think I won't!"
Almost as if in a trance, Amy's tongue slowly slid out from between her lips, taunting Sonic in her mind, when her gaze was focused on a spider on the other side of her window.
A resounding BOOM emitted from the hallway, scattering dust from the untidy apartment around in crazy swirls, as if the place had erupted tornadoes. In the blink of an eye Sonic was standing at the doorway, watching the girl as she stared at the spider.
Her breathing began to increase, get faster, harder, heavier. She could feel it, fee his gaze upon her backside. It was not a gaze of anger or frustration, but one of kindness, understanding... she didn't have to look at him to know this. She dropped her head in her hands and heaved her shoulders forward, weeping silent sobs.
Sonic's expression did not change, almost as if he expected this reaction from her. He stepped lightly over to the girl and placed a placid hand on her shoulder, guiding her to her feet and into his arms. "It's alright," he cooed in her ear as she gasped short, shaky breaths.
"No, no, it's not..." she whispered back.
"Amy..." he pushed her back a little to get a good view into her eyes, "What happened to you?"
Her eyes met his. And she saw the gaze of kindness and understanding. She moved her lips, but no sound came forth.
"I want to know why you've been hiding from me..." he ran a hand through her quills. "It's not like you, and that worries me."
"I.... I was... I can't...." she broke away from the depths of his eyes.
Sonic stood silent. "....Alright," he said, embracing her once again. "You don't have to tell me if don't want to, I guess..."
She sighed, grateful that she was no longer alone. She clung tighter to Sonic.
"I still want to do something, though. I know!" A big smile spread across his face. "You've been in your house for so long... you and me, tomorrow, I'll take you out and we can spend the whole day out together, and we can do whatever you want to. What do you say?"
The pink hedgehog looked back at Sonic. something about his presence, his gaze, his posture, his warmth, or maybe it was just his proposal.... something about him filled her with an overwhelming amount of happiness, yet she could still not bring herself to smile. "Sure," she answered, trying to sound as sincere as she could, "It sounds fun."
"Good." He gave her a light peck on the forehead, and left the house. Before he got too far away, he poked his head back in the door. "Sorry about your door. I'll be back later to fix it."
She just nodded.
