CH 3
It was the middle of the night. Astrid was packing up a bag as she wiped tears away from her face. She decided to leave Mobius for a while, after finding out Sonic had a mate this whole time hurt. He had someone that loved him.. And he loved her.. So why did he take her out on a date? Why did he almost kiss her? Was he just using her so that he could break her in the end as payback from all the destruction her and Shadow caused back then?
As she zipped up her bag, she heard a knock at her room door.
"C-come in!" She called.
Soon, Rouge and Shadow came in. "Hey. We came by to see you but we heard you crying, are you okay?" Rouge asked.
Astrid shook her head and explained what happened. "..And now, I'm going to be leaving for a while. I need to get away and clear my head.."
Rouge hugged her tightly. "Don't worry about a thing! We're coming with you, we have a home in Soleanna that we can stay in. Right Shadow?"
Shadow nodded as he patted Astrid on the head. "Faker will get what's coming to him." He stated as he looked a bit pissed off.
~2 hours later~
Sonic and his team were all hanging out together, it was a rare occasion, everyone now had lives of their own now that eggman stopped attacking.
"Hey you know, I haven't seen Astrid in days, we should all hang out with her, her house is just around the corner ya know." Knuckles commented.
Sonic however didn't want to go to her house, he knew she'd probably rip him a new one if he approached her.
"U-um.. Why don't we NOT go there.. She could be busy." Sonic stammered.
But his friends didn't buy it.
"Nice try Sonic but we all know you don't wanna see her cause she might jump you again." Amy said.
Amy had quit her pursuit of Sonic long ago, she had learned that he wasn't interested in her and dropped her crush on him, she now had a new crush on a certain black and red hedgehog.
"Yeah!" Tails said agreeing with her.
They ended up walking to her house, leaving Sonic behind. As they walked up to the door, Amy saw a note on the door and read it out loud:
"Dear Sonic Team, I have left Station Square. You can thank that no good heartbreaker Sonic The Hedgehog! He had me thinking he was gonna make me his mate! But that no good liar had a mate! I met her during my date with that blue rat! Anyway, I was heartbroken and decided to leave, Shadow and Rouge came with me, I'm not sure if I'll return, maybe I will maybe I won't, who knows. I've taken a lot of time already so I'll let you go now, goodbye. Maybe we'll run into each other again someday.
-Astrid Nebula Rose"
Everyone looked sad and shocked.
"S-She's gone?" Knuckles said in a slight sad voice.
"Looks like it." Amy said sadly, while Amy was upset that Astrid left, she was mostly upset because Shadow had left for what it seems like forever.
They all walked back to where Sonic was and Sonic looked relieved that Astrid wasn't there.
"Aww what happened she wasn't home? Man.. I was really warming up to the idea of tagging her along with us." he said as he shook his head.
Suddenly Amy went over to Sonic and gave him a huge slap across the face.
Sonic looked shocked "Hey! Amy what was that for?!" He asked as he rubbed his face.
"YOU'RE A LYING PIG THAT'S WHY! YOU MADE ASTRID LEAVE FOR GOOD WITH SHADOW AND ROUGE!" she yelled.
Sonic's eyes widened as he felt his heart tightened.
"W-what.."
Amy almost tackled him but everyone else held her back.
"DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW YOU BASTARD! YOU LIED TO HER! YOU MADE HER LEAVE!" Amy screeched as she clawed her arms around trying to get out of everyone's hold.
Sonic felt his heart clench but shrugged it off, it was no matter to him, he can always find her and make her his mate when he finds her, she's willing to come to him, especially with mating season coming up in a few weeks, she'll be with him in no time.
"Listen.. I was going to tell her.. But she wouldn't let me find time to say anything since she would always drag me everywhere.." He said trying to hide his true intentions.
But none of them were having it, they knew how sensitive Astrid was and were greatly disappointed in Sonic.
"You should've told her from the freaking start!" Tails shouted.
"You had many chances to tell her you had a mate! But nooo you decided to play with her feelings and break her heart."
Everyone was shocked that Tails was the one scolding Sonic. Usually he backed him up no matter what but it seems that even Sonic's current actions struck a nerve even with him.
Sonic looked down at his feet "I-I'll fix this, I'll bring her home and I'll make things right with her." he stated.
"You better!" Amy growled.
Soon, the group left him alone in disappointment. Sonic walked back to his home with his head hung low. Where could she have gone? There were too many places to figure out where she could've gone.. Especially since she was with Shadow and Rouge, knowing them, they would try and go to a place where Astrid couldn't be found.
As he entered his home, he noticed Tikal wasn't home yet. After the confrontation they had, she ran in fear of his wrath, he thought she would've came here but no.. She must be trying to find ways to redeem herself.
Sonic went upstairs and went through his list of places he's been at, he thought that maybe she could be in one of those places..
'This might be far fetched.. But maybe she went here..' he thought to himself as he found a place..
=One week later=
Astrid was staring at the ceiling, her eyes puffy and red from all the tears she produced, bags were under her eyes as she hadn't been able to sleep. She felt hurt, betrayed, and used. She sighed as she got up. Shadow and Rouge had gone out for a while, they were running a few errands currently, leaving the young female alone.
She decided to go out for a walk, the weather was nice and she wanted to enjoy it. She put on a black sweater and leggings and walked out. She put her hoodie over her head and shoved earphones in her ears, listening to 'Solitude' by Evanescence.
As she walked down the road, she felt her heart clench tightly, the pain and agony of being betrayed was becoming unbearable. She chewed her lip hard, she jumped up on a nearby building, startling a few passersby and sat at the edge watching the beautiful waves of the ocean. The more she stared, the more she felt entranced.
The lights in Astrid's eyes had dulled as she decided her next action.. She whispered her final goodbyes as she dropped down. Freeing herself from the pain and agony..
