¦| Chapter 12 |¦

The heels of my boots clicked with every strike against the cold cement. I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to keep up with Silver's pace. After what he had told me earlier today I needed to witness this with my own eyes, but a part of me did not believe it.

We had gotten through the girls locker room with ease, courtesy of me. Instead of waiting for me outside, Silver chose to accompany me inside. It was empty since everyone was in class right this moment, a blue lock caught my eye.

"Was it really necessary for you to come?" I asked, a nervous undercurrent to my tone. My hands curled around the lock as I turned the codes.

"Well, yeah. I always wondered what the girls locker room looked like." He replied as he stared around the many aisles of red lockers. "It's just like the guys locker room but cleaner and perfume scented." He stepped beside me, kneeled down as I opened the locker an took out a green backpack. "Good thing that Sally gave you her combination when you needed to borrow her P.E. clothes."

"Yeah." I gave a small laugh and lowered my eyes, I felt bad invading her privacy. "Lets find her phone and then get out of here." Silver nodded as we rummaged through Sally's backpack until we found her phone and went through her contacts. "She sure does know a lot of people."

My comment made Silver laugh which caught my attention. He smiled at me in a childish way, "I don't get why we didn't just ask Sally for Sonic's number instead of sneaking out of P.E. to get it." He had a point, we made everything so complicated.

My breathe hitched once I found his name of her phone, maybe it could be another Sonic, the Sonic I met was dead, "663-7020." I said as Silver saved the number into his phone.

"What are you guys doing?" A rude voice called out, we snapped our attention to the source to see my worst enemy, she could so ruin me. "Alone too."

Rouge put her hands on her hips and waited for me to reply, I couldn't tell her I was invading Sally's privacy, Silver spoke up for us. "She was giving me my phone that she borrowed."

"Interesting." She gave a small laugh and lowered her eyes at me, I wondered what she was thinking. "That still doesn't explain why you two have to be in here alone."

I shrugged. "Long story, and I don't have the time of day." I quickly took ahold of Silver's arm and we ran out of there before things got more intense. Rouge always makes drama out of the littlest thing, hopefully she doesn't start any gossip.

We walked past the school gates and got in my car. "Hurry and text him." I stared at my wheel in deep thought, if Sonic was fine then that didn't explain how he knew Sally, she had been bickering about a guy lately but I never paid much intrest.

"What should I say?" Asked Silver firmly. "Just 'Hiya, Sonic. Back from the dead' or what?"

I relaxed a little and leaned on my seat. "Just tell him anything." I knew Silver was smiling and I also knew what he was thinking.

"You know that we brought Sally's stuff?" My eyes widen, P.E. Was probably almost over, she needed her things. Quickly I took her backpack from Silver's grasp and ran back the locker room, she would kill me if she knew I took ger stuff.

Station Square traffic was awful as usual- especially when it kept my parents close. We hadn't spoken since we left the hospital, my throat stitches had torn so it's not like I had a choice, the tension was still there. I beat a rhythm against the window in time with the rock station that was flowing in the car. Music had been soothing me today, I felt it made me forget about every issue, it brought me to peace.

"You're grounded if you haven't realized it yet." Jules spoke sternly as the cars began to move a bit, that was stupid, I don't want to be here with them.

A man on a motorcycle catches my attention, he moves freely through the cars, it would be awesome to ride that bike. I refuse to be kept locked in my room, was it really wrong that I had forgotten about my problems for a night? "Sonic, we only do this because we love you." My mother adds in a soft tone, I don't want to look at her hurt face. Cursing mentally, I drift my gaze to my jacket pocket where my cell phone is hidden, they forgot to take it way, dumbasses.

There was a message from Sally, I still couldn't believe what I had done with her, taping, I open up the text message. For a moment, something doesn't feel right, not sure what though but i decide to shake it off.

Sally: Hey, can you go out today, cutie? ;)

Sounds like she wants to try a second hook up.

Sonic: Depends, what time do you wanna hang out?

Sally: How does 6 O'clock sound to you?

My gaze wanders to my parents who are sitting up front, they did say I was ground, I shouldn't.

Sonic: Sure

Sally: Great! Meet me at the boardwalk, k. Bye! XOXO

No matter how much my parents had strictly prohibited me of leaving the house they were not going to stop me from leaving now that I could move. The car ride ended faster than I had expected and I automatically got out of the car and stumbled over the front steps and inside to my room. I scolded myself when I realized my door has been removed.

Obviously, my mother had done this so the previous incident would not repeat itself. I went over to my bed and slumped onto it, burying my face into the pillows. I hate this, I hate everything, I hate the world. I glanced at myself in the mirror like I often do and flex my arm, grasping my arm I could actually feel muscle now, not like body builder muscles, but just a decent amount. Sighting, I glance down to my hand and fix my fingerless glove when pink catches my full attention.

A bright shade of pink is glaced on my nail, a smile forms onto my features when I remember who had done this. The truth was that I didn't know what to do anymore, was it better to just forget her? "Ames..." I mumbled under my breathe, I just wanted to hold her.

I don't know what about her made me so drawn to her. Maybe it was because she was the first girl to pay attention to me, no, then the fact I had been with Sally would of caused me to have feeling for her too. What I felt for Sally was more of a lustful feeling, not even infatuation, with her giving herself so easily to me.

For most of my life girls never interested me, like when Manic would speak about them but now I felt girl crazy, I blame hormones.

Manic, thinking about you breaks my heart. I don't understand why would he kill himself, the idiot, I should have been the one to die instead of him. Thinking about this makes my eyes glossy and she watery.

I sniff and wipe my eyes, this brings me to despair.

Tick. Tock. The clock calls for my intrest, it's three sharp on the time. I can't wait for three more hours to go, staying any longer is bringing me wistful memories of my childhood years and dead brother.

The sun broke across the window, casting golden rays in my room. My chest lifted and flatten by my breathing, funny, I didn't feel alive. Never should I of had been born, Aleena should of had an abortion. All I am is trouble, nothing worth while.

Pulling myself up I rush and get dressed, my parents are probably down stairs talking about whatever they talk about. I glance to the streaks of light entering my room and smirk as an idea pops into my skull. As I pull the window up I stare down the low ground, if I wasn't disabled this would be much easier. I take a deep breathe. "You can do this." I say to myself as I climb out of my window and onto the roof with a steady balance.

With a firm grip I climb down by the stone wall and loose vines that seem to be glued there and land brisk fully. Perfect. I lower my hoodie, head down, and dart down the neighborhood. My sneakers squeak on the pavement as I scurry down the sidewalk.

Maybe Knuckles is already out of school, I wouldn't mind a few more drinks before I go see Sally, he can even bring his girl.

Two more hours. Two more hours and Amy was going to see the back from the dead boy. She had already been dreaming about what she would do and or say. Although her mind always wandered back to that what if: what if it wasn't the same Sonic she knew? She felt her heart pumping fast and felt slightly dizzy. Forgetting her medications earlier did ruin her day, and she didn't want to mention it to Rob'O who would freak out about her health.

Amy had slipped on a short and small AC / DC shirt with sky blue skinny jeans and red boots. She wasn't sure why she was trying to look good, she was appealing, she never really tried for Shadow because she felt normal around him.

With Sonic she felt her feminine nature come out and she just wanted to look attractive and paint her nails, which were red to match her shoes, and smile all the time. She mentally slapped herself, she knew inwardly the truth but didn't want to refresh it in her mind.

"Stop, you already look pretty." Amy glanced up at Silver who drove the car. He glanced at her amused which caused her to blush. She had a feeling h could see right through her since she was making things pretty obvious. "I don't get why you couldn't just wear the clothes you took to school."

"Because they were so ugly." Amy turned her back to him after hearing him groan, she just hope Silver wasn't lying about looking pretty comment, "Change is good."

He let out a teasing laugh and turned his attention towards the road, "Its's normal for a girl to find a guy who isn't her boyfriend attractive."

Amy leaned on the leather seat and huffed, "What's your point? I don't like anyone buy Shadow." She remarked.

"You're shaking, you shake when you lie, bitch." Silver said laughing crazily as they entered the parking lot. "I'm serious though, don't worry I won't tell Shadow anything, this stays between us so don't worry. You can tell me anything."

Letting out a sight, Amy couldn't let herself admit it. She was slightly crushing on Sonic after they had spent countless of days together in the hospital. She couldn't help herself, he just seemed so irresistible in some way.

"Get your ass out of the car, pretty bitch, we have arrived!" Silver exclaimed dramatically as they stepped out of the car. "Twinkle Park Beach Boardwalk."

The place was roaring with laughter and screams, the rides looked huge and terrifying in a good way. There was groups of teens enjoying themselves and fooling around like dorks. What made her heart ache was the large crowds and lines, "Did you tell him where to meet us?"

Silver opened his mouth to speak but then shut it automatically and laughed nervously, "Haha, nope. Guess we have to look for him." He said nonchalantly as he casually walked ahead of her.

Amy's jaw hung and she shot him a skeptical look, "Are you serious?"

Silver chuckled and walked backwards towards the boardwalk entrance, "Very, so hurry up!" He screamed and began to jog towards the mass of creatures that were enjoying the fun of the place.

Amy frowned and growled as she ran after him, "Wait up you weedhead!"

I couldn't handle another drink, the previous night was still haunting me. Maybe I shouldn't have came after all. I'm sober but Knuckles is half way drunk, we had gone bowling again before we came, and he's making out with his girlfriend.

But whatever. If Sally came I would probably be doing the same, damn hormones. I can't help but feel a bit awkward as they make out beside me.

"I need to go take a piss." I blurt out once they're up against me. I gently brush Rouge off my shoulder and start walking away, this is not something I want to deal with, I'm like the third wheel here.

"You're just jealous because your girl isn't here yet and you're jealous!" Knuckles shouted over the loud roaring noise. I could still hear them snicker and laugh about it. Not my fault that Sally had forgotten to mention where exactly to meet up. I didn't actually need to piss but I just needed to get away from those two because of they're too public romance.

Night has fallen fast as I gaze at the moon, my parents probably called the cops already. This is stupid, I stare at a group of giggling girls who are staring at me from a line to a ride. My smirk somehow drives them crazy, maybe I don't need Sally after all.

My brain zones into lust, that seems to be the only way to make me forget about the world. I ran my hand over my quills as I begin to approach the group of excited girls, shoving past the large crowd of people.

A sweet voice rings in my ears, "Sonic!" My muscles liquefy, a strange reaction overcoming me, I know that voice perfectly. My ears flicker unsure if my senses are off and this is only illusory but there it is again, faintly, but there.

My eyes grew wide open, the sight of her bringing me back to reality. There in the middle of the crowd stands that girl who changed my life, her eyes show desperation and shock.

"Amy..." I whisper to myself, she's here.

Green eyes gaze at green eyes.

Blue meets with pink.

She stood out from the crowd, her beauty glowed and it left me mesmerized. I was freaking out when she began taking steps towards me. There was no way I was driving my focused away from this angel, I grinned like an idiot and I began walking towards her and ignoring the complains of the group of girls.

"Amy!" I roared through the loud noise as I shoved past the people here. She was doing the same.

"Sonic!" She shouted happily.

We met half way through the crowd and were now gazing at each other when suddenly she slapped me across the face which definitely shocked me and that was clearly written all over my face.

Before I could even my mouth to speak, Amy took my face in her hands which caused me to blush. Our faces were so close, and I was focused on her eyes.

X-X-X

"It's really you, you're alive!" I practically shout with an overwhelmed feeling in my gut, I thought I was imagening him for a second and going crazy.

I stared at him stunned, I thought he was a ghost, still this seemed so weird and unbelievable to me.

"Yeah, in the flesh." A faint smile played on his lips. It gave him a boyish yet adorable look. "This is so surreal," I stated as I gazed into his eyes, "Am I dreaming?"

Sonic's smile disappeared and he stared at me thoughtful, he grasped his arms around my lips and pulled me close. His Touch. Breathless I watched his movements as he leaned down to me, was he going to kiss me?

I shut my eyes awaiting for what was to happen when I felt his lips against my nose. My eyes automatically open and he pulls away gently and smiles warmly as he moves a strand of my quills away from my face.

He chuckles in his deep voice, so that's how he sounds like, and tilts his head at me sweetly. "Did that feel real enough for you?"

I don't need to look in the mirror to know I'm blushing red, nodding, I return the smile which seems to brighten his mood.

"Yeah." I replied blissfully, this was like my perfect dream, this was utterly amazing, magnificent, awesome, ect. There was no word to describe how amazing this felt, to have him here.

Silver was right, Sonic came back from the dead, and he's here with me, holding me in his strong arms, moving, no longer paralyzed, and I have to admit, he's making my heart flutter like crazy.
