Chapter Seven

"Lead him this way," Vanilla said, motioning down the hallway. "Once outside, put him in the ambulance. We're taking him to Station Square Hospital."

"Todays' a big day for him," Another nurse said carefully. "Hopefully all goes well."

"Yes," Vanilla answered as they wheeled Sonic out of the hall and hospital. They were sending him to a better suited one.

"By tomorrow night you'll be the same healthy boy you once were," Aleena said, that same smile plastered on her face.

The nurses erupted with quiet murmurs. Some words were "death," but Aleena couldn't hear. She was too occupied by walking by Sonic's side and into the ambulance.

"Goodbye, Sonic," Vanilla said sadly. "It was a pleasure knowing you."

Aleena raised a brow at her clearly not liking how she said her farewells' to her son as if he was going to die.

She looked down at him as she sat in the back of the ambulance with him and fixed her cardigan. Something didn't seem right to her, he somewhat looked disturbed as if he knew what was happening and didn't want it to be happening.

"Goodbye, Aleena." Vanilla called out with a warm smile.

Aleena returned it and nodded and before the doors closed said, "Goodbye."

Once the doors did close the ambulance began to move. Aleenas eyes showed fatigued, it was three in the morning and she had to come this early to be by her son's side.

Though she felt rather nervous, even though she hired the best doctors for her sons surgery she still felt scared. She couldn't lose another son.

Aleena sight sadly as a tear rolled down her eye and took Sonic's hand into her's. She wished it was her the one who had gotten hit by a car instead of her son.

Sonic stared blankly up at the light on the corner of the ambulance deep in thought, he was afraid, this was dangerous and he didn't want to die.

The chance of him dying was high and he just wanted to go back to his bed.

What if he didn't fall into slumber while in surgery and he felt everything they did to him? Or they made a mistake?

He just wanted to scream out and tell them to leave him alone. Though he had no voice while being in this state. And what about Amy?

His mind wandered to her as he remembered how much time they had spent together after Vector told her about the surgery.

She stayed for hours and came every morning before school. She didn't even know he was having surgery today...

Amy must be so worried when she comes and sees him gone.

Sonic turned attention to his mother and felt saddened. She looked more worried than he did, she had dark under eyes from lack of sleep and her eyelids hung low.

The ride felt short because before they knew it they were already infront of Station Square Hospital where they were greeted by Dr. Quack as he helped Aleena out the ambulance.

"Hello!" He greeted and shook her hand, "Nervous?"

Aleena shook his hand and laughed hopelessly and nodded. "Very much." She admitted.

"Don't worry, Sonic is in good hands." Dr. Quack said with a smile as they made their way inside the huge hospital.

Sonic couldn't help but his heart pounding fast as they made their way inside. He felt his breathing hitch as he stared around.

He felt his body begin to sweat and got chills. This all was giving him a horrible headache.

They led him into the hallways and soon he was placed in a small room. It reminded him of his old room for a moment as he stared around.

Death filled his mind again. He had heared the nurses and felt terrified.

Aristotle's law of attraction. Amy's words filled his mind. Could it really work?

He wasn't sure but it was better than thinking bad thoughts. He tried visualizing about him standing again and walking.

These thoughts made him happy.

Yeah, everything was going to go right, he wasn't going to die today. Today he was going to start living, that he was sure of.

I parked in front of the hospital and yawned as I got out of my car and walked inside.

I walked down the hallway and into the elevator and reached Sonic's floor. pacing by other rooms, I opened my eyes wider when I saw Vanilla walking out of his room.

"Vanilla, hello!" I greeted walking over to her.

"Amy?" She asked, her eyes seemed to widen with surprise. I wasn't sure why though since I always came by every morning.

"Nice to see you too, Vanilla." I kidded and stopped in front of her noticing she was holding folded blankets. They looked like Sonic's and this puzzeled me why she was removing them.

"Sonic's not here, Amy." Vanilla said as if reading my mind.

My head snapped at her and I began to panic. "W-why, did they move him rooms?" I asked trying not to think negative.

Vanilla took her eyes off me and the wondered away. "You can say that."

I couldn't help but notice her change in mood, she was usually preppy and smily no matter what the situation or time of day it was.

Now she looked gloomy and down, and this was not a good sign. Nervously I bit my lip and stared into the now empty room hoping to see but was proven wrong.

"So, what room is he in now...?" I asked desperately.

"He's not in this hospital anymore," I turned my attention to her and my heart pounded, "He's gone into surgery at a more proper one."

No...I slapped my hand onto my forehead as my body shook. I didn't expect his surgery to be so soon.

I noticed Vanilla was already walking away from me and I ran to her and turned her to face me, "Where is he?"

She stared at me blankly and gently pushed me away from her and shook her head at me. "I am sorry, Amy, but I am not allowed to let out information of a patient."

What the hell?!

I felt anger boil inside of me now fully awake, I glared at her. "You practically told me everything about him on the first day I met him during R.O.P. and now you decide to shut up?" I snapped.

Judging by how her eyes widen I knew she was shocked by my outburst though she still shook her head at me. "I am sorry, Amy, I had permission before but this is different, I am not authorized to tell you."

I relaxed yet this made me feel irritated, I knew she was telling the truth, I was thought this.

"Can you at least tell me how long ago he was taken away?" I asked now calmer.

Vanilla seemed deep in thought, then she turned to me sadly. "About two or three hours ago."

My breathe hitched and my heart stopped for a second, he was probably already going through surgery. He could of been...

No, I shook my head at the thought, I made an oath to think positive. I took deep breaths to control myself. "Thank you."

I turned my heel and walked away, not before catching another glimpse of the inside of Sonic's room.

When I reached back to my car I put my hands on the wheel and felt so many emotions exploding inside of me, I wondered if I would ever even see him again in my life.

I stared at myself in the review mirror and saw tears were rolling down my eyes. I didn't bother to wipe them away, what was the point.

I frowned deeply, this couldn't be happening, I just wanted to disappear and scream out. I pulled on my hair and my chest arose and went down at a fast pace.

This was cruel, I didn't even get to say a decent goodbye to him. I should of know this was coming and should of been cautious.

I hit my steering wheel, I should of talked to his parents, convinced them not to go through with this.

Fuck, I hated myself so much. I should have more faith in Dr. Quack, he was know for his miracle work.

I couldn't break my oath, I shut my eyes tightly and visualized Sonic smiling and sitting on his bed.

Healthy and happy...

BUZZ

I frowned again when I heared my phone vibrate and looked to see that Shadow had texted me.

Shadow: Are you coming to school today?

I don't know should I? I was feeling rather shitty and I knew my eyes were red as Knuckles fur.

"Sonic is fine." I said to myself with a smile and finally wiped my tears away.

Amy: Yeah, I'm gonna be a little late though so don't wait up.

Shadow: Alright , Rose. :(

I ignored his last message and turned on my car and drove off to school. Yet I couldn't get rid of this feeling that something wasn't right.

I couldn't help it and passed by a few hospitals and wondered if Sonic could be in any.

Once I reached school I noticed the bell had already rang, I entered the big white building and walked to my red locker.

I took out my books and just stood there, I wouldn't be able to focus in class, I shouldn't have came.

I looked over to the hallway that I had cam from and saw a school supervisor there. I couldn't ditch now, I put my books back inside the locker and shut it.

I made my way up the grey stairs and down a long hallway where most of the Math classes were located.

I opened a brown wooden door that was located there and entered. It was the janitors supply room, though they never came here.

Sitting on the cold floor, I hugged myself. I glanced up at the clock that was there and saw it was now nine.

Sonic was probably halfway through his surgery. He was strong, he should be able to make it through.

I wished Silver was here, he would understand since he sometimes visited Sonic too.

"Please be okay." I said out loud, my head hurt so bad right now from all the crying I had done.

"Amy?" I looked up to see Shadow standing at the door looking down at me with a sad expression.

"Shadow?" I asked as he sat down next to me and hugged me.

"I know you said not to wait, but, I couldn't help but worry." He admitted as he set his head on my shoulder, "Rose, tell me what's wrong."

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I hugged him tight and burst into tears. "Oh, Shadow!"

Shadow was silent, though he played with my hair in a odd way of showing comfort. He let me cry on his chest.

Once my eyes were too dry for tears, I pulled away and he lifted my head up and gazed into my eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked again.

"I'm better now," I began and pecked him, "Really."

He frowned at me, "Please tell me."

I sight and looked away from him, "I'm worried about someone who's having surgery."

Shadow made me face him again and half smiled as he wiped off the remaining tears. "You shouldn't be too worried, your the one always telling everyone to be positive. Listen to your own advice."

I couldn't help but smile at how he could make me feel better with just a few words, he was right, I shouldn't overreact. I placed my head on his chest and he put his arm around me.

Everything is going to be okay.

"We're loosing to much blood, doctor!" Exclaimed a nurse as she watched Sonic's heart monitor which was turning into a line, "We're loosing him!"

Dr. Quack cursed under his breath and pointed at a close by machine, "No, we're not." He declared and nurses began to quickly sow where Sonic was bleeding.

They had been in surgery for more than eight hours now and just when everything was going fine this had to happen. Sonic's blood was everywhere, red stains all over the doctors and nurses.

Dr. Quack turned on the machine and electrical shots appeared from it, he placed it onto Sonic's chest sending shots through his body.

Sonic's heart monitor began to rise again, not before falling back a line which scared Dr. Quack. He sent shocks through Sonic's body again making the line faintly rise.

"Damn," Dr. Quack said out loud with frustration in his tone, he sent shocks again and his heart monitor would rise and fall back down like before.

He couldn't believe it, why wasn't it working?

"He's not going to make it." Said a nurse as she watched the heart monitor.

"We should let him die already." Another said.

"Shut up!" Dr. Quack screamed startling the nurses, "We are not giving up on this boy, so hurry and charge up the machine even more."

The nurses seemed hesitant but did as they were told and charged up the machine, Dr. Quack once again sent high bolts of energy through Sonic's body.

"Come on, Sonic, come back to us!" Dr. Quack said though the heart monitor continued the same.

Outside the surgery room Jules and Aleena watched as more nurses and doctors rushed inside Sonic's surgery room. "What's happening?" Aleena asked nervously.

She was already crying histarically as Jules hugged her, "I don't know." He admitted.

Aleena and Jules quickly ran to the front desk and got the attention of the receptionist who spoke on the phone.

"Sonic the Hedgehog," Began Jules breathless as his body shook with nervousness, "What's happening to him, why are there so many nurses?"

The receptionist opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by Aleena who took ahold of her shoulders and shook her, "Tell us!" She screamed.

"I can't tell you if you're shaking me," The receptionist stammered out, "Just calm down, madam."

"How can I calm down knowing something isn't right?" Exclaimed Aleena bitterly at the receptionist who crouched down in her chair.

"Please, we need to know." Added Jules with red eyes.

The receptionist stared at them sadly and nodded as she dialed on the Hospital's phone. "Give me a minute."

Jules hugged the sobbing Aleena in his arms as the intently watched the receptionist mouth turn into a deeper frown at whatever the on in the other line was saying.

The two parents couldn't take the wait anymore, they needed to know what was happening with their son. Their hearts stopped when the receptionist hanged up the phone and turned to the two of them.

Her expression was blank, she opened her mouth to speak.

"I'm sorry..."
