¦| Chapter Three |¦

I had began visiting Sonic every day after school for over a month now and would even sneak out of my R.O.P. hospital class with the excuse to go to bathroom. Even though he didn't speak through his mouth, he spoke to me through his gaze.

Vanilla had caught me several times but promised to keep it a secret, it seemed to make her happy that Sonic was my friend, he was an amazing person. I would help out on taking care of him, which included spending time with Vector and helping him streching Sonic's joints.

I knew it hurt him but I would try distracting him by playing music on my phone and dancing like a mad woman and at times even singing which made me earn perplexed expressions from Vector thinking I was crazy.

Sometimes I would even take him out on his wheelchair to show him around the hospital. Though I wished I could take him out to see the world he had not seen in years. I would constantly take pictures of every place I went to which made me look like a tourist.

"Look, see, and this is the theater," I said gesturing to a picture i had taken on my camera. "And the mall." I said gesturing to another until I stopped at a picture which made me smile.

It was of Shadow and I hugging by the football field after him scoring a win for the school. We looked so happy, the cutest couple, that's what everyone would say.

Looking over to Sonic I saw his eyes showing sadness. Right, he must want to share the experience of school like my friends and I did.

I sat up since I was laying next to him and snapped my finger. "Perfect!" I said excitedly.

I jumped off the bed and grabbed my black PU rucksack and took out my study books. I turned to Sonic showing him my AP Calculus book with a proud smile. "I will be your teacher so when you get out of this situation you'll be at your age level."

I could see him gaze at me hopelessly, I knew what he was thinking and it made me mad, he didn't think he could overcome this.

I huffed and then sat down staring at him solemnly until I remembered about a man I had heared in history. I reached over to his face, tuning his head to face me as I caressed his face with my hand.

"There's this man I learned about, a lion, named Aristotle who found out a secret that not many knew." I could see bewilderment in Sonic's eyes which made my smile grow. "Which was the law of attraction."

I laughed when I saw Sonic seem more confused and slightly annoyed by my words so I decided to explain to him what I meant so he understood. "Which means you can receive anything you want if you just imagen and believe you will."

Sonic didn't seem to believe me entirely but I expected it. "You should try it, be thankful for the little things." I said and heard my phone vibrate which caught my attention and made me smile.

Shadow: Hey, beautiful. Where are you?

Damn, I had totally forgotten about my movie date with Shadow.

Amy: On my way right now! Lots of traffic, ya know? :(

I hate lying to him but it's not like it was a huge lie.

Shadow: Poor baby. :(

Amy: Love you, Amy Rose in on the way!

Shadow: Love you too, baby. :)

I turned off my phone and picked up my rucksack and walked I've to Sonic's bed and gave him a kiss on the forehead. I couldn't help but giggle when I saw him blush, he looked adorable, I felt like he was my best friend. After Shadow that is. "I got to go now, Sonic. See you tomorrow."

Leaving him felt bitter. His eyes showed signs if not wanting to let me go. I was his only friend, and the only one around his age. He was older, same age as Shadow, sixteen.

Speaking of my cute boyfriend, I had a date to go to.

As I arrived at the movie theater, I saw Shadow sitting at one of the benches outside, it was freezing!

I ran over to him in my black heel boots, waving my hands around to get his attention, I succeded as he smiled at me and stood making his way over to me with open arms.

"Finally you made it." He said in that deep voice of his that sent chills down my back. He hugged me and began leading me to the ticket booth like a gentleman.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked as we got to the booth and he began ordering our tickets to the scary movie we had planned to see. "It's freezing cold."

He paid for our tickets and smiled lovingly, turning to me. "Yeah, well what kind of boyfriend would I be if I was inside surrounded by warmth while my girlfriend was outside in the cold?" He asked.

I returned the smile and nodded and grabbed his hand as I leaned my head on his shoulder. He took the tickets and we made out way inside where we were greeted by laughs and chatter from other people.

Once inside we realized we still had a good 35 minutes before the movie started in which by that time we, correction, I had decided for us to go to the arcade. We played shooting games with fake guns and every time Shadow won, it wasn't my fault I was bad, he was experience from going to shooting ranges with the boys.

I had even managed to convince Shadow to dance battle in a game. He wasn't willing at fist since he's not very outgoing, but, when he's with me, I make sure we have fun. Many people at school were fasinated on how I was able to make Shadow to crazy things.

I wasn't sure myself though, it was probably because he loved me. We had been middle school sweethearts since 8th grade which was rare in high school.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him stumble and struggle to keep up with me, I was the best, at dancing. The thought of how we began dating came to my mind which made me want to laugh more by how it was nothing romantic.

Shadow, Sally, a close friend of ours, and I were sitting under the big tree of the schools garden rolling our eyes at the smooching couples around us.

"What's with all the couples now a days?" Sally asked bitterly and sight sadly. "I don't get it, even Cosmo has a boyfriend, and she's ugly!"

I couldn't help but laugh knowing how much they hated each other. "Someone sounds desperate."

"Your crazy, I am not desperate." She replied in denial as she turned her face away from me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her. "Okay maybe a little." she finally admitted and turned to me. "Don't tell me watching all those couples doesn't make you feel lonely?"

"Nope." I said plainly as I fixed my collared shirt, stupid uniform, "Besides, all the boys here are lame."

"Even me?"

Sally and I turned to Shadow stunned since he had been quiet the whole time reading his book. Now he watched me intently, awaiting my answer, I couldn't help but blush at his stare since he never really talked to anyone.

"No," I said playing with my hair and smiling at him, "Not you."

He continued to stare at me as I stared at him, completely avoiding Sally who sat awkwardly beside us looking around.

"Then be my girlfriend, Amy Rose."

My answer was of coarse yes. I remember how Sally pouted and said, "Great, now I'm the only single girl at school."

I looked at my score and saw we had finished the dance battle with me being the winner. "Ha!" I screamed in satisfaction. "I win."

Shadow huffed breathlessly and smirked at me as he walked over to me and pulled me by my wait to him, my body reacted by placing my arms around his neck, he kissed me, our lips molding each others for as long as we could take without breath.

We pulled away and he smiled at me with our foreheads touching as we stared into each others eyes. "Your prize." he said.

I laughed and kissed his nose, "A hunk of man." I said causing him to grin.

Suddenly Sonic came into my mind as I looked around the arcade. I pulled away from Shadow and took out my phone, putting it on camera mode, and took pictures at different angles.

"What are you doing?" Shadow asked from behind me with a slight frown on his face. Oh, yeah, I ruins the moment. I put my phone away and turned to him as I took a hold of his hand.

"Nothing," I said quickly, "We have a movie to catch!"

i began pulling him towards the food and we bought pop corn and snacks. Inside the movie room i couldn't help but feel bitter thinking of Sonic. I bet he would love to come here.

"Something wrong?"

I looked up to see Shadow staring at me worriedly. His gaze told me he cared, Shadow was the reason i knew how to read Sonic's eyes so well. Both were silent so i had no other choice but to learn though Shadow was by choice whereas Sonic was by force.

It kind of made me wonder how Sonic would act if he could move. I tried shaking his off my head and focus on my present. I shook my head at Shadow, "I'm fine." i said reassuring.

He continued to stare at me for a moment, the turned back to the move, I needed to focus on my life again, with that the day went by pretty good.

Amy didn't come for four days.

I watched as nurses passes by outside my room. I didn't understand why, perhaps something happened to her. Damnit, I shouldn't think that. Amy was fine, something probably came, that's all.

Tests maybe?

Still that doesn't explain why she wasn't here for her nursing lessons. Something probably did happen. If only I could move and look for her, I looked at my hand which was sticking out from under the covers.

I focused hard, giving it my all, trying to move at least a finger. Come on, damnit, move!

I tried to move like I had done before when Amy arrived, but had no success, making the situation even more frustrating. As I recalled previous tries, I was hopeless.

"Hello, Sonic." I heard a voice say. I quickly focused on the doors entrance feeling dissapointed to see Vanilla, I didn't want to hear her life story now.

"My, the weather was hot today hot," she said. I mentally frowned, and she laughed, oblivious to my grim mood. "I thought I could faint."

I hated how she spoke to me in that sweet voice as if I was a child when I wasn't anymore, I'm grown, I didn't need her tone.

"It's very bothersome," She scoffed.

I tried to ignore her talk and sight sadly. I shouldn't let my anger affect my relations with Vanilla.

Besides, I'm sure she would of informed me if something had happened to Amy, with her knowing how close we were.

"There's exciting news for you," Vanilla said.

I focused my attention back to her wondering what she had meant, exciting how?

As if in cue my parents walked in again at the same time speaking with Dr. Quack who seemed lively as ever. They were all excited about something, it must be big, I hadn't seen them like this before.

"Oh, Dr. Quack, when is the soonest you may start the operation?" asked my mother in wonder.

"Yes, please, tell us." my father added, almost pleading like children.

Dr. Quack raised his hand at them and chuckled. "Patience." he began as he walked over to me as he checked my heart beat. "The soonest is three months."

I watched as the smiles on my parents faces faded with shock.

"Three months?" My mother practically yelled only to be held by my father in order to calm down. What surgery were they talking about?

"Relax, Aleena. Let's hear what Dr. Quack has to say first." my father said trying to hide his sadness.

Aleena shook her head desperately and pulled away from my dad and ran to Dr. Quack, pulling him by the collar of his shirt, "My son has been in a coma for eight years and you expect me to wait more?" she asked bitterly.

Dr. Quack seemed taken a back as he grabbed Aleena by the shoulders, pushing her away gently. "We still do not have all the information to conduct the surgery, so, I highly suggest you wait for the safety on your son."

Aleena seemed to relax, especially with Vanilla hugging her to comfort her.

"Good things come for those who wait." Dr. Quack said kindly.

"We waited eight years," Jules began as he took a hold of my hand, "I'm sure we can wait three more months."

The doctor smiled kindly at the distressed parents. He turned to me and took a deep breath.

"Put some droplets on the boy, will you, Vanilla?" Dr. Quack asked but it came out more demanding.

Vanilla nodded and pulled away from Aleena who had calmed down from her outburst. "Yes, Doctor."

"Visiting hours will be over in a few minutes." Dr. Quack said looking at his watch earning nods front parents.

I watched as my mom sadly made her way to me and hugged me, man, I wanted to hug her back so bad. "Goodbye, Sonic. See you tomorrow." she said slowly and kissed my cheek.

"Goodbye, son." I heard my dad say as he opened the door and led my mom out.

'Bye, mom. Bye, dad.' I thought sorrowful as Vanilla walked over to me, putting droplets in my eyes, after finishing she smiled at me and tucked me in. She made her way to the door. "Goodnight, dear."

As the door shut, I was surrounded by darkness. I was alone, I just wanted to scream out and shout. This was torture, god is pretty mean, i had done nothing wrong.

I could feel fresh liquid roll down my face though i wasn't sure if it was from the droplets or my own tears or possibly both.

I began to feel weaker, but i didn't care, I was loosing consciousness.

Amy, where are you?

Author's Commentary:

I sorta picture Shadow in my mind with the voice of and Andy Biersack from the band 'Black Veil Brides' and Amy Rose with the voice of Talylor Momsen from my favorite band, 'The Pretty Reckless.' Embed that into your skull.

Putting that aside, what I can say is I'm such a bitch making Sonic suffer. Though I know this chapter was pretty lame and shorter than the others, yet I promise the next will be better!

Oh, and please give me advice. Does the story better written in this point of view?

Reviews are highly wanted and welcomed as long as they are not rude. The more I get, the more I'll have a passion to update and post. Hope you all have an awesome day!
