Ch. 2 My Everything

Running…running…keep running. That's all she could do and all she wanted to do; run. She wouldn't stop until she reached her home, nor say anything to anybody. She didn't even stop to say anything to Tails or Cream.

Amy finally reached her apartment, and once inside she ran to her room and jumped on her bed, crying in her pillows. It was a pretty simple room. Most people would think it would be all pink with fluffy pillows, hearts every where, pictures of Sonic, and all that other girly crap, but it wasn't. They wouldn't have been able to afford it anyways. The apartment itself was kind of old and needed some repairs. Her walls were painted white, with a light blue border at the top, and a light blue carpet. She had a brown dresser with a picture of Rob and her, and too night tables at the side of her twin size bed and a black laptop on the one next her picture of her friends. The bed was covered with white sheets and a light blue comforter. The pillow cases were also light blue with a red rose print in the middle of them; but now those same pillows were covered with her tears.

"Hey Ames, you home?' she heard her cousin, Rob, just walk in with groceries. He could hear some distant sobbing in the other room. "Amy?"

Peaking his head in, he saw his little cousin crying. "Amy! What's wrong?" Rob quickly sat down on her bed to comfort her.

The young pink hedgehog looked up at her cousin. He was light blue, with bright, almost lime, green eyes. He honestly resembled Sonic, but that's not who she saw when she looked at him. She saw her cousin, her guardian, her best friend, her brother, her everything. He was always there for her; protecting her; watching over her; encouraging her; training her; loving her. All they had was each other.

"What's wrong Amy?"

"I (sob)…wanted to invite (sniff)…S-sonic to spend some time w-with…for my birthday… (sniff) and he just EXPLODED at me for no reason."

"What? What? Did he say?" Rob was about ready to run down to Sonic and kick his ass, because he won't let anybody mess with Amy, no matter who they are.

"He-he said he wouldn't be caught dead with me. And that he was tired of me… (sob) and I'm whiney, stubborn, and that he didn't love me. Then he told me that of I 'love him' then I would stay out f his life."

Rob cradled Amy in his muscular arms, while Amy continued to sob in his beater "Amy, I'm sorry he treated you this way. I swear he'll pay. I don't care who he is; he won't treat you like that every again."

Amy's eyes shot open with fear. She knew what Rob was capable of doing when he was mad enough, and when it came to Amy, he wouldn't let anybody hurt her and get away with it. This made her feel safe sometimes, but also scared that one day his temper will get him in trouble. "No Rob. Don't hurt him."

"But Amy, he hurt you, and I won't let anybody do that; not even the world renowned hero."

She looked up at him sincerely "Its okay Rob. I'm a big girl now, and I can handle it. If you love me, then you'll do this for me and let him go. Besides I learned from the best right? You did teach me most of everything I know."

"I guess I did. I am the great Rob O' the Hedge after all." He said with pride as if he was some kind of super hero.

"Sure Rob." Amy said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.

"I know, let's go to the movies for a pre-birthday celebration."

"I'd like that. Wanna see Spider Man 3?"

"Yes! Oh and..." he got up from the bed, "you're not too much of a big girl to go down to the old ice cream parlor are you?"

Amy shot up "Heck no!" Rob's face started to brighten up. Amy's favorite place to go was the ice cream parlor ever since she was little. Rob may be only be nine years older than her, but he did miss the little hedgehog that used to be pint size and follow him around everywhere. Thinking of that of that made a little tear come to his eye.

"Rob, are you crying?" she walked beside him.

"No, just thinking about how time goes by so fast. Kinda miss the little you, now you're growing to be a beautiful young lady."

"Oh Rob, I may not be little anymore, but I'm still your cousin."

"You better be." Wrapping his arm around her, he noticed how low that blouse was. "Oh no, you are most defiantly putting on a jacket."

"But Rob." She whined like a little kid.

"No 'buts'. I don't want any boys looking down at my cousin with their googly eyes. Now put on a jacket."

"Hmph" she marched over to her closet and grabbed her maroon jacket to go with her outfit. That act reminded him of when she was little, and he just laughed.

"I don't see anything funny Robert." She always said that to get on his nerves. He hated that name.

"Hey, that's a classified; never to be spoken of name."

"Whatever, I don't see why Sonia wants to even marry you're punk butt."

"Sorry, but you're too young to know the reason." He said with a sly grin.

"Okay, I'm just gonna forget you said that, cuz I don't wanna know. Oh, and I'm not too much of a big girl to get ome og those old piggy back rides." Rob always used to give those to her all the time.

"What?! I can't pick your big ass up now!"

"That's cause you're old." She hit another nerve. He didn't like being called old either.

"Oh yeah? I'll show you. Hop on." This clever pink hedgehog knew exactly how to work him. 'I swear he can be as much of a knucklehead as Knuckles.'

To me this chapter is kinda a sweet, just giving you a little insight on Ames and Rob's relationship. Chapter 3 will probably be up today or tomorrow.
