A/N: I just wanted to thank Nasty the Hedgehog, SomeGuy, Samantha, Beckeh,
fellow writer, and Ryuko DragonHalf for letting me know what you guys
thought about my fic. Well on to the story:
Don't Trip Chapter: 2 (still in flashback) ............................................................................ ..............................................................
Sonic thought to himself as he looked upon Amy's bloody body, 'What just happened here. I can't believe what I am seeing. Amy is lying at the bottom of this staircase and she is hurt badly because of me? Damn my temper. Who ever said that words cannot hurt you? Look at her, just look at her. I caused this. My god, she looks dead. Nobody, will be able to forgive me. I will be looked at as Sonic the Hedgehog: the asshole who killed Amy Rose. OH NO! My last words to her were ones of hatred and anger. I will never be able to forgive myself for that.'
Sonic then looked up, a fire of determination burning in his eyes, "NO!" Sonic screamed out loud, "She is not being taken away from us yet!" With that said Sonic ran down the steps and said to Tails, "Get down here, I am going to need your help!"
"Ok, what do you want me to do?" Tails asked.
On closer inspection Sonic saw that she was still breathing, but her leg was most likely broken for the odd way it was bent. "Um...," Sonic said to Tails, "Go find something I can use as a stretcher. We don't have time to wait for this damn ambulance. I could get her to the hospital faster."
"Right, be right back!" Tails yelled back to Sonic as he was running. Tails knew exactly what he was going for, so he ran up to the chilidog stand and took this sign for local restaurants, that was posted in the ground, to use as a stretcher. Tails was so nervous because he felt that Amy's life depended on him bringing back this stretcher on time. As he was running back to Sonic, the breeze hitting his face seemed to calm him, telling him that everything would be fine. Tails saw that a crowd of people had gathered around Amy so he flew up into the air with his tails, over the people, and landed right next to Sonic, makeshift stretcher in hand.
"Will this work?" Tails asked while catching his breath.
Sonic took the sign from him and said, "Thanks. Now can you do me another favor and get these people out of the way, or they are going to get plowed over in about five seconds."
Tails got up and yelled, "Please, people give them some air," Tails then pointed to the people that would be in Sonic's way when he exits the park and said, "and you guys better hurry or you are gonna be road kill."
As everyone cleared out of the way, Sonic was carefully placing Amy onto the stretcher. He knew that he shouldn't be moving her, but his hero instincts were taking over and he was not thinking about that right at that moment. After making sure that Amy would be safe on the stretcher, Sonic picked up the whole thing, with Amy on it.
"All clear Sonic," Tails said with a thumbs up.
"Thanks. Take the Ambulance to the hospital." Sonic said before running to the hospital himself.
Knuckles came running down the steps, "Ok guys, I made the call. Wait! Where did Sonic go."
Tails then told him that Sonic had put Amy on a stretcher and was on his way to the hospital now. "He told us to take the Ambulance to the hospital," Tails finished the update on what happened while he was gone.
"How was she Tails?" Knuckles asked.
"I wish I could tell you myself, but I don't know Knuckles, I just don't know," Tails sounded like he was going to cry.
The two just stood there in the park, waiting, watching the dust settle that Sonic shot up into the air when he ran away from the park.
............................................................................ ..............................................................
Grey clouds had started to take over the once blue sky. It would let the occasional rain drop fall from the heavens. The air was crisp and it smelled like it was going to rain soon. All of this did not matter to Sonic. He was concentrating on getting Amy to the hospital as quickly as possible. He was dodging people and cars left and right, all the while making sure that Amy did not fall off the stretcher he was carrying. He felt a little bit more relaxed knowing that he was taking care of Amy. Sonic was always Amy's hero when she needed help the most and here he was again, to her rescue. This time it was a different story, because Sonic was the cause of her being in the state she was in now. It was still comforting to Sonic to know that he was the one bringing her to the hospital.
"Hang in there Amy," Sonic said Softly to her, "I'm here for you."
As he rounded the corner to the street with the hospital on it, he sped up. Sonic made it there in a matter of seconds and went straight to the front of the hospital. When he made it inside he screamed for help, "I got an injured hedgehog here, where do I take her?!" One of the workers pointed him in the right direction and told Sonic that he would make a call down at the ER to make sure they were ready for her. When Sonic made it to the ER he found a group of doctors waiting for him with a real stretcher. Sonic set Amy, with the stretcher, on the ground. The doctors all came over and helped Sonic pick Amy off the ground and on to the real stretcher that the doctors and all brought with them. With that, all of the doctors pushed Amy into the ER and Sonic was told to go to the waiting room when he tried to follow them in. Angrily Sonic obeyed and walked into the waiting room. He hated hospitals. They always smell bad and you usually have to go to them for an awful reason. Most of all he hated the waiting rooms. They always had these little uncomfortable plastic things I guess you could call a chair. Then there are the kids. There are always kids in the waiting room, screaming, and begging their parents for toys. As Sonic walked into the waiting room, he was relieved to see that it was empty. Sonic laid back in the chair and tried to get comfortable because he knew that he would be waiting there a long time.
............................................................................ ..............................................................
"Sir," a distant voice said. "SIR!"
"AHHHH," Sonic screamed, "WHAT DO YOU WANT!"
Sonic saw some type of nurse in front of him. She had blond hair and this annoying voice that you didn't want to hear when you are just awaken from a nap.
"I am sorry to scare you, sir, but I wanted to know if you were here for that pink hedgehog?" she said.
Sonic, remembering where he was at, turned more serious and said "Yes. How is she?"
"The doctor will be out to speak with you in a few, but I have a few questions for you," she said in an annoyed tone.
Sonic sighed and listen to her questions.
"Ok, let's start with her name."
"Amy Rose."
"Age?"
"17."
And she went on and on with all of these questions that I didn't feel like answering. I just wanted to know how Amy was. Is that so much to ask? In between one of her questions Sonic looked at the clock on the wall to see that he was asleep for only five minutes.
"Ok. Thank you, sir," she said to Sonic, "The doctor should be out to see you within the hour. Your patients is much appreciated."
As she was leaving Sonic saw that Tails and Knuckles were coming down the hallway towards the waiting room. Noticing that Sonic was in there the two sped up toward the blue hedgehog.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled from across the room, "How is she!"
"I don't know," Sonic said back, "They won't tell me. I was just told that a doctor would be out here within the hour, so I guess we are just going to have to wait."
Knuckles sat down across from Sonic, sighed, and then asked, "So, how are you holding together Sonic?"
"What do you mean how am I holding together? I am fine. There is no reason why I would not be fine," Sonic said a little nervously.
"Oh maybe because you just broke down and screamed at one of your long time friends and now she is sitting in a hospital because of what you've done," Knuckles said, "You can let your guard down with us Sonic, you can tell us how you really are feeling."
Sonic sighed, breathed in, and then looked up at Knuckles. Sonic then said, "I...I just don't like the person that I was back at the chilidog stand. I mean, that was not me. I don't treat people like that, especially my friends. I just don't understand why I did that."
"Well Sonic, I don't know why you flipped out on her like that either, " Knuckles said to Sonic, "But I think one of the reasons is because you are stressed out. I could tell you why I think that you are stressed out, but I don't think that now is the time to tell.
Before Sonic could get interested in what Knuckles had just said, a doctor came in to the waiting room. He looked over to Sonic and the others and walked over to them. Sonic became extremely nervous as the doctor came over to the group.
The doctor looked down at a clipboard he was holding and spoke, "Are you three here for Amy Rose?" After the three nodded the doctor said, "Well, I'm Jim, the doctor that has been working on Amy. You guys will be happy to hear that Amy is going to be just fine. She is still out of it, but she will wake within the next two days, it won't be any longer then that. The only bad injury she received from the fall was a stress fracture on her right leg."
Sonic came in, "How long will it take for her leg to heal."
"It will take approximately six to eight weeks to heal," the doctor said, "during this time she will need to go through rehab. This will be hard on her because when she wakes up she will feel like she can walk fine. Amy will need someone close to her to be her emotional support."
Sonic smiled to the doctor and said, "Jim, you should have my number in my file, just give me a call when she is awake and I will be there for her,"
"Will do Sonic," Jim said, then turn to the rest of the group saying, "The only other thing I have to report about Amy is that she got a few stitches. Those wounds will heal up within a few weeks, so before you know it, she will be back to her same old self."
Knuckles turn to Jim, "Well thank you for the update on Amy. Is it at all possible that we can go see Amy now?"
"I am afraid I am going to have to say no to that request because we have a little bit more work to do on Amy, but nothing serious. You guys will be able to see her in the morning and, you never know, she could be awake by then," the doctor finished.
Sonic was a little disappointed that he couldn't see her tonight, but accepted it and shook Jim's hand. The other two shook his hand and said their good-byes to Jim.
After it was just the three of them in the waiting room again, Knuckles said, "So, what do you guys want to do now, we have a lot of time to kill until the morning."
"Yeah, what should we do, Sonic?" Tails came in.
"Well, how about we go back to my place and get something to eat? How does that sound?" Sonic said in a weak voice.
"Sure Sonic, that sounds great," Knuckles said
"Yeah, I could go for some food," Tails excitedly said.
"Ok lets go then," Sonic said as he was getting up. The group then proceeded to the exit of the hospital. When they walked outside they saw that it had rained a little since they were in the hospital. The sun was trying to peak through the clouds casting wonderful white beams of light onto the ground.
Sonic let his two friends walk ahead a little bit. He turned around and looked at the distant hospital and said to himself, "Don't worry Ames, I will be back for you."
