Author's note: I'm not one to use cuss words, it's just not in my nature. So I will do my best to express feelings without using cuss words. Also, this chapter is rather graphic, but very necessary for the atmosphere of this fic. This fic has angst you know.

Chapter 2: The Crash Scene

The highway started getting foggy and visibility was getting worse. Normally in this situation, you're supposed to drive very carefully and more slowly to decrease the chances of an accident. However in this scene, a very stupid thing is being done. A car is parked right in the middle of the highway! The traffic is very light, but that could still be dangerous in this case.

"Sonic! What do you think you're doing?" Amy was very hysterical while Sonic just crossed his arms and was totally silent. His face had a look of extreme stress and veins were popping out all over. "Sonic, if this is some kind of sick joke, stop it! This is very dangerous!" Sonic clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles were cracking.

"Shut up! Just shut up!" Sonic had finally lost control of himself. "I've had about enough of that huge, noisy cavern in your face!" Sonic quickly unbuckled his safety belt and stumbled out of the car. As soon as he got out, a passing car swerved around their illegally parked car and nearly hit him. (Parking in the middle of a highway is illegal you know, duh!)

"Hey, get off the highway you road hog," the passing driver said angrily, "go learn how to drive." The passing car disappeared into the fog. "That's hedgehog, you dolt!" Sonic yelled while waving his fist furiously. "I'm out of here Amy! Go drive yourself home." (Amy does know how to drive you know).

Sonic speeds off down the highway, nearly hitting another car, which the driver also threw an insult at him. Sonic ignored the insult this time because his priority now was to go straight home and get away from Amy. He looked back and barely noticed the headlights of Amy's car through the fog and also noticed that they haven't moved.

Sonic stood on the curb of the highway to avoid blocking any traffic and starting waiting very impatiently for her car to get moving. After all, he doesn't want to be responsible for causing a car pile-up. Her car still wasn't moving and Sonic was now on the verge of killing Amy himself.

Sonic ran back to the car and noticed that Amy was still in here seat with her safety belt still on. Her arms were crossed and had a pretty upset look on her face, but nowhere near as upset as Sonic's face. "Amy! Get out of here, you're going to cause a huge accident." Amy decided to give Sonic the silent treatment just like what he did to her earlier. (In case you didn't know, the car is Amy's. Sonic obviously doesn't need one because he's faster than any car, and he doesn't have to deal with traffic).

"I said get out of here! Go, now!" Sonic was getting very frustrated with her attitude and was starting to get nervous because of where they are. Sonic and Amy noticed that the fog was getting thicker by the minute. Luckily there's little traffic, but they're still pressing their luck with the situation.

"No!" Amy said defiantly, "our date isn't finished until I'm at home and I want YOU to take me home."

Sonic started laughing almost maniacally. "What do you mean our date isn't finished? Our date was over the moment you called me to go out with you!" Amy was shocked by what he said and had a "how could you say that" look on her face.

Sonic continued, "do you know why I was stupid enough to go out with you on this date and our other past dates? I'll tell you why, it's so that I can spend the rest of the week AWAY from you. Every time you call me to go out and I refuse, you just call again the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and so on. So I figured that if I go out with you, you would at least be satisfied and leave me alone for the week, and then I could have the rest of the week WITHOUT you!" Sonic then gave a huge sigh of relief, "ooh, that felt so good. I should have said that a long time ago."

Amy was shocked much more than any other time in her life, and her face showed it very well. Sonic didn't care though, to him seeing her face like this was priceless and it made him feel so good that his headache nearly disappeared.

"I.... I.... um.... I.... uh," Amy was totally speechless and was caught completely off guard by those cruel words. She never expected such words to come out of Sonic's own mouth.

The only thing she could do now is burst into tears and she covered her face with her hands. The very image of the world around her had been shattered by Sonic's "confession." Sonic didn't even give a care, seeing her like this was a dream come true. He always wanted to see her suffer at least once so that she can experience his frustrations towards her. Unfortunately, Sonic is about to get much more that he bargained for. The fog had now become so thick that it was hard to see anything, Sonic and Amy almost felt like they were the only ones left in the world.

Amy finally felt defeated, far too shocked to say anything back. She slowly took her hands off her face to unbuckle her safety belt and move to the drivers seat. But before she touched her safety belt, they heard an ominous noise coming from the very thick fog behind the car. (Keep in mind that the car is NOT parked on the curb, it's right in the middle of the highway!)

Like a phantom jumping out of the fog, Sonic and Amy stared in horror as a huge 18-wheeler truck was coming right at them! (Remember, Sonic's not in the car, but Amy still is!) They both saw the truck driver's very surprised face and the driver quickly jammed his brake as hard as he could. Sonic instinctively jumped back to avoid the impact, but immediately remembered about Amy! But it was too late though, the 18-wheeler smashed into the back of the car at full force and carried it through the dense fog, leaving behind a very shocked blue hedgehog. It took nearly a football field distance to come to a complete stop. Sonic snapped out of his shock and quickly followed, hoping and praying that she was all right.

Warning: the following gets rather graphic. You've been warned!

What Sonic saw was like a nightmare to him. Amy's car was now pointing the opposite direction that it originally was. About fifty feet behind the car, He could barely make out the 18-wheeler truck that smashed into the car. He noticed that the truck and its trailer had swerved sideways, forming a wall across the entire highway.

A few other cars that were passing by nearly hit the truck as well. But they all stopped miraculously in time and simply drove around the truck. They had to drive on the shoulder of the highway to do this. Sonic could hear insults being exchanged between the truck driver and the other passing cars. All the cars seemed oblivious to Sonic and Amy's predicament, except the truck driver.

Sonic raced over to Amy's wrecked car, the back was smashed in and some windows were shattered. "Amy! Are you all right? Speak to me, say something!" Amy just made a few groans, so obviously she's still alive. He noticed that the chest strap of her safety belt had snapped. He also noticed her injuries and they didn't seem life threatening. Her face was slightly bloody and her nose was definitely broken. He also noticed a couple of her teeth stuck on the dashboard and also a few small bruises, cuts, and scrapes all over her.

He tried to open up Amy's door to help her, but it was jammed. He ran around to the driver's side door and noticed that the door had completely broken off, giving Sonic easy access to help her. Sonic climbed half-way in, pushing away the limp driver's airbag (contrary to popular stereotypes, airbags DO NOT stay inflated. They inflate for only about a second or two, just long enough to protect your head from the steering wheel. However, in Amy's case, this doesn't matter). He reached over and tried to unbuckle the rest of her safety belt, but it was stuck (how that could happen is beyond me).

The truck driver jumped out of his 18-wheeler and ran over to them to give any possible help. "Hey, is there any way I can help? I don't want to leave you guys like this."

Sonic was now getting very frantic. He didn't want to use his spin attack to cut off the safety belt, he could injure her even more. Sonic then looked at the driver, "do you have something that can cut off this thing?"

The driver was also starting to get nervous, "um, oh yeah! I have a pocketknife." He quickly started digging through his pockets.

"Great," Sonic said, slightly relieved, "and after that, call the ambulance." The truck driver was taking a long time searching through his pockets. "HURRY UP SLOWPOKE!" Sonic almost screamed at him.

Oh no! What's to become of Amy? This is just a taste of what's about to happen. The third chapter is much worse, assuming that you wanted to know.
