¦| Chapter Five |¦

The festival was beyond amazing. There had been many people which had gathered dressed in different types of costumes.

The park was also decorated with bright lights hanging on the trees and fake blood all around.

Amy walked beside me, her pink quills flowing out around her. Even though she skipped, she had an innate elegance to her. Her poise and beauty had been something I found fasinating about her since I met her, but now I saw more of her. Everything she did was for appearance, and I was sure that everything went deeper than that with her.

I sat just in the wheelchair, my arms placed on the sides. She smiled big, as if she had witnessed the most amazing thing in the world. There was clowns, so that might have been the case, but she turned away from them, ignoring them and turning to me.

"Isn't this place just awesome?" she asked but turned back away.

"Eh, it's okay." Silver replied as he pushed my wheelchair. No it is pretty awesome.

I wish I could speak my mind, I was surprised I still hadn't been used to this.

"Whatever." She sounded annoyed by the conversation already. She finally turned back to us, wearily meeting with Silver's eyes. "What do you suggest we do?"

"Something fun." I heared Silver

"Like?" Amy asked. I felt Silver tighten his grip on the wheelchair, he was planning something.

"Maybe this!" I heared Silver call out, pushing the wheelchair back and pushing foward.

"Wait up, Silver!" Amy shouted and ran after us. "Where are we going?"

"They have this haunted house at the corner, over here." He replied pushing my wheelchair as he ran "Sounds fun to me."

"Well be careful with Sonic." Amy had caught up with us. "I don't want him getting hut."

I actually didn't mind at all, I liked the wind on my face, I wished he would go faster. It made me feel free, like nothing could hold me back, it was honestly a great feeling.

I guess having to have been strapped on a bed for sigh years made me forget this feeling.

"Look, we're already here." Silver said pointing in front of us, there stood a creepy looking house where screams could be heard coming from inside. "Let's go."

When we went inside after it was our turn, we saw pitch black inside, it made me feel anxious yet also it felt exciting.

"I can't see." I heared Amy's voice call out. I could faintly see her grab my hand, she was scared. "I hate it when those maniacs jump out of nowhere."

"Don't tell me you're afraid? Silver asked teasingly. "You're such a chick."

"And you're such a dick." Amy snapped back. Metallic chains could be heard in the dark as we got either inside, I saw her grip tighten. "What was that?"

"A psychotic killer." Silver said trying to scare her. "Ow, you didn't have to hit me."

I wished he could stop. I didn't want her getting frightened unless I could protect her.

The lights suddenly began to flicker and at the end of the hallway you could see a man with a chainsaw and mask.

Holy shit.

The man turned the chainsaw on and raised it over his head waving it around and stared running towards us.

"Crazy mother fuck!" Silver screamed in fright. "Run!"

"Wait, you forgot Sonic!"

X-X-X

"You were right, Silver, that was fun!" Amy said with a laugh.

"Yeah..." Silver said trailing of as he looked across from the park where two girls were watching a clown juggle.

"Hmm?" Amy looked up at him curiously.

Amy strared towards the direction Silver was staring at as she ate her blue cotton candy and couldn't help but smile.

"Go talk to her," she said, shoving him off the bench they sat on hastily.

"Who Blaze?" Silver asked nervously. "I...I can't she's with Marine."

"So? Just go!" Amy insisted with an encouraging smile as she ignored her buzzing phone.

Silver bit his lip but put on a serious face. "You're right, nows my chance!" he declared marching over to her.

"That's my boy!" Amy said laughing.

She sat back down on the bench and turned to me who had watched the whole seen. I couldn't help but feel kind of nervous over the us being alone now.

She stared at me warmly and tilted her head cutely. "So what do you suggest we do?" she asked playfully.

I wish I could of smiled and rolled my eyes at her.

Her expression suddenly changed to serious as she stared at me. I saw her studying my face and lean in a bit. My heart began racing until she pulled away blushing.

She looked like she was fighting with herself internally.

"You know, Sonic." She began biting her thumb. "I always wondered what it would be like if you weren't in a coma."

I was taken aback by her confession. She thought of me.

"Like maybe you would be going to my school and we..." I saw her blushing and shake her head. "Hahaha, forget it."

Amy looked at me again and pursed her lips, "I really enjoy your company even though you can't talk."

She brushed a quill out of my face and giggled. "I'm even willing to take care of you for as long as I can despite your condition."

I felt shocked as she said these words to me. I saw her expression turn serious as she looked at me.

"I'm serious, Sonic." Amy began knowing I didn't believe her. She must have been lying, who would ever want to be wasting their time on a burden like me?

She jumped off the bench and kneeled in front of me with warm smile plastered on her face.

"I don't know why but I feel we were meant to meet as sappy as that sounds and I care for you Sonic."

This girl sure was something else. I couldn't walk or even talk and she didn't care about that.

"But know this Sonic the Hedgehog," She began as placed her hands on my shoulders and gazed into my eyes, "I, Amy Rose, will always stay by your side."

She threw her arms around me pulling me close to her. "I will be your voice."

How much I wished I could just hug this wonderful girl. She had just told me the most beautiful words I had ever heared.

I could feel mixed feelings of joy bursting within me.

God had blessed me with one of his angels.

Being with her made me forget about about everything else. With her by my side was all I needed to be happy.

I could actually feel her body heat as she hurried her face in my neck.

There were so many things I wanted to tell her, so many thanks I wanted to say, so many things I wanted to do to show her how grateful I was.

Before I had hated my life so much and honestly did not want to keep going another day of it.

After so many years I had finally found a purpose, and it was Amy Rose. She was my will power to keep living every day.

She looked deeper into me than me being just a limp body, she could see into my soul.

"Sonic?" I could hear her squeal out in shock. At first I didn't understand why until I noticed my right arm was the slightest bit touching her back.

Amy pulled away almost as shocked as I was with a twinkle in her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand as she stood back up.

"I knew it, I knew you could do it, all you need is practice." She said as she stared at me with a huge grin now on her face.

"Guys, I got it, Blaze gave me her number!" Silver cheered as he ran over to us, oblivious to what had just happened between us, he had just ruined a perfect moment.

Amy turned to Silver giving him a playfully wink, "See, I knew you could do it after crushing on her for the past three months."

Silver laughed hopelessly and shrugged. "I was hopping to ask her before in Spanish class but I would always get too nervous or run out of time with the bell ringing."

Amy's eyes suddenly widened and she slapped herself on the forehead, "Run out of time? Damnit, Silver, it's getting late, we should of taken Sonic by now."

"Fuck, I totally forgot!" Silver exclaimed panicky as he took ahold of Sonic's wheelchair. "Let's hope no one has noticed he's gone yet!"

"I'm with you with that." Amy replied hitting Silver on his back. "Now, come on, we need to get going!"

And with a nod we were out of the festival in a hurry.

"So, how exactly does 'Z' equal 85.1 in that equation?" I asked rather perplexed.

"I've already explained it to you three times, Amy..." Tails whined as we entered the school building.

He had given me a ride to school since I had forgotten my car here when I left with Silver yesterday.

I groaned and pulled on my hair. "This problem has me mentally fucked!" I nearly shouted as we passed by other students.

Tails laughed at my frustration making me glare at him.

"Hey what's going on over there?" Tails asked pointing at a crowd of kids who had gathered around some lockers. "Isn't that where Shadow has his locker?"

My ears perked up at the sound of my boyfriends name and I followed with my eyes where Tails was pointing and frowned.

"Yeah, it is..." I replied trailing off and walking over to the crowd.

"Hey," I could hear Tails call out from behind me, "Wait for me!"

I ignored his calls as I pushed past people until I came across with the reason of their attention.

"Shadow," I asked seeing my boyfriend in crutches and annoyed expression by the attention he was getting from the other students, "What happened?"

I ran over to him and examined his broken leg, his eyes lightened up at the sight of me and he half smiled at me motioning for me to hug him which I did.

"Amy, where were you?" he asked ignoring my question.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"I texted you all day yesterday and you never replied, I got really worried." He said as he cuddled my head under his.

Damn, I totally forgot about my phone.

I pulled away and stared at him feeling guilty. "I'm so sorry, what happened to you though?"

He opened his mouth to speak but shut it unsure of how to explain.

"It was an accident..." I heared a voice say nervously. I turned to see Knuckles scratching his head.

"What the hell did you do?" I snapped brawling my fist at him

"I told you it was an accident, damnit." Knuckles snapped back and crossed his arms over his chest with a glare on his face. "Besides what about you?"

"What about me?" I nearly shouted angerly.

Knuckles laughed darkly and leaned closer to my face. "Where were you when your boyfriend was hurt?"

I felt taken aback, he was right, I hadn't been there for Shadow.

"That's enough, Knuckles." I heared Shadow sharply say not liking how he was speaking to me.

"No, he's right." I said looking down. "I wasn't there for you."

I could hear Shadow make his way closer to me on his crunches and when I looked up I saw the crowd alongside with Knuckles had disappeared. Mostlikely, Shadow had scared them off with some signal.

"Amy," I heared him say making me turn to him, his forehead leaned against mine and he smiled tenderly at me, "It doesn't matter, you're here now, that's what matters."

I gazed back at his one of a kind red eyes and placed my lips onto his giving him the most passions kiss I could give.

He gladly returned it and pulled me closer. Though I couldn't help but still fell bad, once we pulled away from each other he smirked at me.

"You owe me lunch, Rose." He said evilly.

I smiled and nodded taking the books he was holding out of his hands he was struggling to hold because of the crutches.

"Sure thing, babe." I said rubbing noses with him, "It's the least I can do, just watch, I'll cook you something delicious."

"How delicious?" Shadow asked playfully as we made our way to class.

"Super delicious."

X-X-X

We sat on my living room couch as we ate the fajitas I had made and studied some notes.

Shadow was leaning close to me as I explained to him how to write a proper French paragraph.

"You never told me why you left."

I looked over at Shadow who stared at me with a serious expression. I didn't want to tell him the truth because I didn't want a misunderstanding.

"Rob O' got a raise and was so excited that he called me saying he was picking me up so we should go celebrate and I forgot my phone in the car."

Shadow nodded and I sight, thank god he believed that lie.

I was suddenly pushed back onto the sofa and I looked up to see Shadow pinning me to it and leaning in for a kiss.

We had a hot makeout session until he broke it and began kissing down my neck earning moans from me.

"I feel like we haven't spent time together like before," he said through kisses, "I've misses you, Rose."

I could feel his hand reaching down to my sacred area and Sonic came to mind and I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I don't know why, but, I felt like I was betraying him...

Slowly I pushed him away and turned away from him, "We shouldn't, Rob O' might come."

"Then let's go to your room, " I heard Shadow say seductively in my ear sending chills down my spine, "I'll hide in your closet."

I laughed remembering when he actually had to do that and shook my head, "Wow, you've got a broken leg but that won't stop you, huh."

"Nope." Shadow said with a playful growled.

"Down boy." I said putting my hand on his chest, luckily Rob O' walked in.

For some reason it just didn't feel right being like this with Shadow, something felt different, something felt wrong.

Shadow quickly pulled away from me when Rob O'. Entered and opened his French 3 book to some random page.

"Oh, hey, good afternoon kids." Rob O' greeted as he entered the house in his tux wearing a bright orange tie I had told him before was too garish.

"Good afternoon, sir." I heared Shadow say innocently. God, if only Rob O' knew what Shadow had been planning on doing before he walked in.

Rob O' smiled at Shadow, he always liked him for me, he set his suitcase next to the sofa. "So, how was school."

"Fine." I replied plainly as I looked at my French homework.

"That's good." Rob O' said and slid something out of his pocket with a mischievous grin. "Well how would you two like to join me in watching the big football game?"

"No nay!" I heared Shadow exclaim in a low voice. "You got tickets?"

Rob O' nodded smiling wide.

"Then lets go!" I added as I stood.

Rob O' laughed and picked up his suitcase again. "Yeah, just wait for me in the car while I go get dressed in more comfortable clothes."

Shadow nodded calmly, trying to hide his excitement and we both headed to the door not before Shadow stopped and turned to Rob O' . "Congratulations on the promotion."

"Promotion?' Rob O' asked confused as he turned back.

I quickly stood behind Shadow nodding as my sign of pleading for him to say yes which he did.

"Oh, right, my promotion." Rob O' said wearily and I grinned as I dragged Shadow to tha car.
