The Love Square

Chapter Nine

I looked at Sonic with the greatest suspicion.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You're the one going through my stuff." Sonic said.

"Why are there loads of beer bottles?" I asked, holding one out to him.

"I felt like drinking, so what?"
"You're drunk." He pointed a finger towards himself.

"Moi?" He asked, sarcastically.

"I heard you've been sneaking out of school." He laughed to himself.

"Why are you laughing, do you want to get excluded?"

Sonic walked up to me and shoved me against a wall.

"If you tell the teachers, you will regret it." He hissed at me. I was quite scared of his aggressive behaviour. But I couldn't let him get to me.

"Why are you not being yourself? You're upsetting Shadow and Silver." He chuckled and let me go.

"Like I give a fuck. They don't care about me!" He spat.

"What are you talking about? We all care about you."

"And that's the problem!"

"Sonic, I don't understand why you're so angry and upset. You were fine last week." Sonic shook his head.

"Taylor, Taylor, you can't see, can you?"

"See what?" Sonic grabbed me by the wall, but instead he was gentler.

"You can't see how I feel about you." I didn't see what Sonic meant. Of course he liked me that's why we're going out.

"I know how you feel about me?"

"No, you don't." His hands gripped on my shoulders. "I want you to be mine, not Shadow's, not Silver's."

This couldn't be right. What about Shadow? I swear they had something together. It was obvious. It was a known fact, throughout the school. And yet, he loves me. I tried to push me away, he was drunk, and he didn't know what he was saying.

"What's the matter, I thought you would like that? I thought you like me?" Sonic whispered, tightening gripping my shoulders in place. He was too strong. I was getting scared.

"Let me go." I asked calmly. Sonic leaned in to kiss my neck. My body loved it. But my mind was screaming. "Please."
"I love you; I want only you. No one else." Sonic whispered. I wanted to cry from confusion and fear.

I was mad at him because he didn't really break the news to me in a nice way. Does he really expect me to be head over my heels? I wished I never agreed to this dating shit. I just wanted to be a normal kid who wouldn't be judged and talked about by other boys in this school. I didn't want to be dragged into this whole love business.

Sonic was leaning in to kiss me. I tried to push him away again, but he made it more and more difficult. I have never been this desperate to not kiss Sonic in my life. Normally it would be a dream. But now, it's a fucking nightmare. Once he crashed his lips against mine, I did something I never thought I would do. I punched him.

I watched him stumble to the floor. A second later, I saw Shadow storm in. He looked at the both of us.

"What the fuck is going on?" He hissed. Sonic smirked as he got up.

"Wow, that was quite a punch."

"What's going on?"
"I tried to kiss this guy and he punched me."

"You-you said you loved me. You just want only me. How did you expect me to react?" I stuttered.

"Sonic is that true?"

"Of course it's true. No one deserves him but me. He loves me and he knows it." Sonic shouted. He received another punch from Shadow and crashed to the floor again.

"You can't have him!" Shadow screamed. Sonic looked up and glared at him.

"Why not, you bastard?" He wiped off some of the blood that was running down his cheek.

"Because, I love him too!" He blurted out. No fucking way. I stared at Shadow. He loves me too, that is impossible. How can someone like Shadow love me?

Sonic got up and charged at Shadow, they fell into the living room, throwing punches at each other. It was brutal. I tried to pull them apart. But it was no use. They were too strong. I watched as Silver run out of the dorm, trying to find teachers.

They were still fighting when the teachers arrived. There was about four, he was pulling the two hedgehogs away. How did it come to this? It was my entire fault.

"Let go of me! I want to kill that fucking bastard!" Shadow screamed at Sonic. Sonic didn't say anything, he was panting after the long fight they had. I could see other students watching from outside the dorm.

"You always think you can have everything, can't you? You think you can have everything, because you're so attractive? But listen to me, you are shallow, selfish and deserve to die instead of your family. Taylor doesn't deserve someone like you!"

I could see tears forming in Sonic's eyes. Was that true? Did Sonic's family die? That was a horrible thing for Shadow to say.

"Shadow, you've gone too far!" Silver shouted at Shadow. I've never seen Silver shout before he was finally standing up for himself, "Sonic loves him, that's all. He didn't murder anyone."

"But he forced himself on Taylor. That's attempted rape!" Shadow spat. Sonic still didn't say anything; he looked like he was trying his hardest to keep all emotions in. He was still trying to struggle away from teachers.

"But he didn't, so calm down and take back what you said. Let's just move on." Silver suggested. There was a slight pause.

"I meant every word I said." Shadow hissed. Sonic charged away from teacher's grip and punched him straight in the face. The sound of bones breaking was loud. The students were gasping outside. The teachers managed to get hold of Sonic again and dragged him out of the room.

"I fucking hate you!" Sonic screamed down the hallway. It sounded like he meant every word as well.

After half an hour, Shadow finally managed to calm down. The teachers that dragged Sonic away came back into the dorm.

"Is everything ok in here?" One of them asked. The three of us nodded. "Sonic is now in the headmaster's office. Shadow you will need to go there after him."
"Is Shadow going to get excluded?" Silver asked in panic.

"No, lucky for you two. But Sonic will be moving dorms."
"What's the matter? Is he too scared to face me?" Shadow chuckled. I hit his shoulder. "Jesus, Taylor, that fucking hurt."
"You deserve it!" I hissed at him.

"A few teacher will be in here packing Sonic's belongings." The teacher informed, frowning.

"I'll be happy to pack for him." Shadow sarcastically offered.

"Shadow, shut up! You've done enough for today!" Silver hissed.

Few minutes later, two teachers went into Sonic's room. Shadow was sent to the headmaster's office. He was going to get a beating. I couldn't stop thinking about what Shadow said to Sonic. It was only Silver and I in the dorm.

"Silver?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled weakly. I felt bad for him. Silver was left out; no one cared about him being in this love affair. "What did Shadow mean when he said Sonic deserves to die instead of his family?" Silver sighed.

"I might as well tell you. When Sonic was eight, there was a house fire. His two siblings died immediately, but Sonic was trapped in a room. His parents decided to go back into the house to save him, sacrificing their own lives. After that Sonic developed severe depression and anger problems, which he needs medication for. He now lives with his Uncle, Chuck. I met him once, he's really nice." Silver looked down at his feet.

"I was so mad when he said that. Sonic looked like he was about to cry." I whispered.

"I was as well, he must have really strong feelings for you." I blushed when he said that, I was really embarrassed about the two falling in love with me. I still couldn't fully believe it. What could they like about me?

Shadow walked back into the dorm. I stood up and walked to my room. I was so mad with him.

"Taylor." I could hear him say my name. I slammed the door and collapse on the bed. What the hell has happened?

Shadow's POV

I looked at Taylor's door slam. I looked at Silver.

"Silver, can I…?" Silver turned away from me. I could hear him sniffing. I walked over to him and hugged him. He pushed me away slightly.
"Don't touch me, please." He whispered.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner."

"You fucking should of, making me look so stupid and pathetic. Like I'm not important at all. I'm sick of it." He cried.

"I didn't know Sonic loved him too." He wiped his eyes.

"I know you didn't."

"Can we just forget about this? I still like you."

"Don't bullshit me. I don't want to be part of it anymore. You got Taylor all to yourself now." Silver got up and walked over to his room. "Oh and by the way. You were wrong about what you said to Sonic. You're both selfish as each other. You don't even think to care about other people's feelings." He walked into his room and slammed the door.

The room was silent. I punched a pillow on the sofa. I fucked everything up. I didn't want them to know. I was going to wait for the love to just go away; then again I didn't expect Sonic to love him too. When I think about earlier, I regret everything I said to Sonic. I was just so angry, I didn't understand why. It wasn't wrong for two people to like another person. I'm sure other people liked Taylor. So why did I fight with Sonic, someone that I care about? I wanted to apologise to Sonic but I knew I couldn't. That would be crazy, he hates me now. Just like Knuckles hates him.

Knuckles' POV

The news flew around fast about the fight, I tried calling Taylor but he wasn't picking up. I guess I should leave him alone. But I wanted to hug and tell him everything is ok. I just wanted to be around him. I felt relieved that this foursome is, obviously, broken up. Now I don't have the temptation of killing all of them. Then again, I should consider of how they're feeling right now.

There was a knock on my door; I got up to answer it. It was the head teacher. I wasn't looking my best, how embarrassing!

"Good evening, sir." I greeted politely.

"Good evening, young man. I'm sorry to disturb you but I have something to ask you." I nodded.

"I'm sure you heard about the incident earlier this evening?" I nodded. I hope that didn't make me look like a gossiper.

"Well, we are currently changing accommodations and unfortunately there aren't any other dorms available for him. So I'm afraid you'll be having a new room mate." My eyes widened. You're joking? I can't refuse to the headmaster.

"That's fine."

"It will only be for a few weeks, until the incident is sorted out. Thank you very much, young man." Sonic walked up to the door, with a small hidden smirk on his face. No…fucking…way. I can't share a dorm with Sonic. The guy I hate!

Before I could say anything, the headmaster left and I was now left with Sonic.

"All I can say to you is, don't touch anything that's mine. Do you understand?" I shouted. Sonic slowly nodded, "Good…I'm going to bed. My sofa is a pull out bed so I'm sure you can figure out how to use it." I muttered, quickly walking into my room. I can't fucking believe I have to share a dorm with Sonic the Hedgehog. What did I do to deserve this? And since he's been here he hasn't said a word. It must have been really bad, what he's done.

I got into bed and the first thing that came into my mind was Taylor. How was he feeling about this? I wish he would pick up. I picked up my phone and looked at it, I was strongly tempted to call him again but instead I went to sleep. I heard shuffling outside, probably Sonic trying to attempt to pull out the bed. Maybe I should help him; he is my new roommate. Wait, why should I? I fucking hate him. I ignored the noise he was making and went to sleep.
