Chapter 11-Avoiding Him

Hey Guys sorry for the long wait, but! Here is another lovely chapter for you lovely readers! Enjoy!

Amy's POV

Engaged?

I kept asking myself the impossible, but the fact was..it is possible,they're adults.

"And they're a good team..." I groaned in my English text book for the millionth time.

I peeped over the top of the book, to see Mr. Hoot fast asleep as usual. Well you can't judge him for it...considering he's an he doesn't pay much attention to us; he would have already taken the entire night to prepare our syllabus as well as homework, it was up to you whether you passed or failed. I still find it amazing though; no one fails this guy's class. The entire class is always seriously quiet, because if u wake him during his sleeping hour, its hell on its own, to be honest, he gives me the creeps.

"psst" a voice hissed.

I glanced beside me and cocked a brow at Blaze. "What?" I whispered.

She started doing a bunch of hand signs , that I couldn't follow . I quietly ripped a piece of paper out of my binder, crushed it, and threw it at her. I held back a giggle as it flew across the small space between us ,before hitting her smack on the forehead.

I did a silent cheer while she rolled her eyes at me. She opened the paper and began scribbling madly on it.

I flinched when the paper hit me on the side of my head, making me shoot a glare at her smug face. I picked the paper up off the floor, staring at my teacher all the while. I opened it, cringing at the noise it was making. A few glares and worries eyes were set on me and i glared right back at them.

"Problem?" I hissed.

The all turned away from me swiftly, as if they didn't know of my existence, and I finally managed to get the paper open.

I could feel the relief everyone was giving off as we glanced at the still sleeping teacher, and continued with their assigned reading.

I smiled at the note, before glancing at Blaze who blessed me with a rare wink. The note read:

"I'm super proud of you for accepting Honey's offer! You show them that your not a pushover!"

I scribbled back my own response, my pen making that scrunching noise as I went

"I have to get out of this...sad stage somehow. fashion seemed like the way to go"

I paused for a bit, contemplating whether I should tell her what Sally told me just a while ago. I shook my head and continued.

"P.s I have something important to tell you guys.. lunch"

As Blaze read my return letter, her amber eyes looked at me curiously. I only shrugged and planted my nose back into the text. Thanking God the teacher was still snoring happily.

"Engaged?!"

"Shhh!" I hissed at the table. I glanced around frantically, hoping no one caught on to the convorsation.

"That's all sorts of messed up" Broody said shaking his head.

"So What did Sonic say?"

"That's the thing. He did't deny it."

"So he told you?!" Blaze hissed, her claws constantly incing in and out of her paws.

"No. He-I couldn't tell what he was thinking, he didn't deny it, nor did he say yes"

"I'm all sorts of confused" Arts voiced groaned from Broody's phone.

I dropped my head on the table in defeat. "I don't know, I even agreed to help him move in"

"I'm sure his fiancee can help him" Blaze hissed.

"Cool it kitty" Clo snapped. "You can always back out Mimi" she said reassuringly.

"That's the thing" I sighed. "I don't want to" I mumbled to myself.

The table fell quiet, and I could feel their stares on me.

Had I said it out loud?!

Someone cleared their throat and I glanced up. My throat tightened,and my brain forgot to work at the sight of him.

"S-Shade?" I asked looking at the wolf before me.

He smiled sheepishly, scratching the side of his neck awkwardly. "Hey Pinkie, gang" he nodded at the group.

"Is that Shade?" Art coughed from over the phone.

"Hey man, how are you?" Shade asked visibly relaxing at the sound of his friends voice.

"Coughing up coal, that's how I'm doin'" he laughed before getting into a series of coughing.

Blaze made a noise before standing up, muttering something about getting a bottle of water.

"Your in school" I breathed.

And your freaking gorgeous!

"Yeah, I've been getting some weird looks too"

"Who wouldn't be looking at you?" Clo purred. "Wolf eh? Didn't see it coming"

"That was the point" he winked.

After the breakup, I found out that Arty and Broody had been helping Shade keep his secret. I was mad at first, but they were his best friends, of course they'd cover for him. They were practically family. Clo and Blaze wouldn't believe it until they saw it for themselves. Which I'm guessing, is going here and there...not sure about what Blaze thinks...

"Hey, quit making that noise Clo" Broody said shifting in his seat beside her. I shook my head from my thoughts, and rolled my eyes at my best friend.

"You have a minute?" he asked me, baring his fangs in a half smile.

"Yeah, Yeah sure." I said collecting my things.

So much for avoiding him...

Clo snapped out of her trance and gave me a worried look. "I'll be fine." I mouthed as I left the cafeteria table.

As we walked, I tried to focus on the strap of my back pack, instead of the millions of eyes staring at me and Shade. I was shaking at the intensity of it all. His warm hand enclosed mine and i shot a look at him.

My face softened after i took in the features of his face. His eyes were straight forward, his shoulders squared and confident as he walked. But i could feel him shaking too. A smile tugged on the corners of my mouth as I picked my head up and walked hand-in-hand with my ex-boyfriend, down the judgmental halls.

"This is fine" he suddenly said, turning to face me. He had taken me into an empty classroom.

"What's up?" I asked.

"I'm freaking out Pinkie. I wanted to try and show you I'm not ashamed of what I look like, but the stares are driving me crazy"

"A shy wolf?" I giggled. "Don't see that everyday"

"Funny" he smirked. "I-I just needed to see you, aside from the guys, you were the first I really opened up to. I just told them what I was, I didn't show off or anything and I-"

"Shade. Breathe" I smiled

He inhaled before exhaling, glancing at me with an embarrassed smile.

"Thanks"

"No problem, but uh...your still holding my hand"

"Woah!" he exclaimed before dropping it. "Sorry, force of habit. So, the talk is that you're thinking on modeling again?"

I arched my brow. "How did you hear that?"

"Broody can't really keep his beak shut" he laughed.

"I am." I smiled. "Isn't that how you found me? I was your "magazine girlfriend" before I moved here?" I giggled.

"And then you became my girlfriend" he smiled, his eyes boring into mine.

I squeezed the strap of my bag tightly, my chest constricting. "And now...I'm your ex-girlfriend"

An awkward silence fell on us, and he decided to break it.

"Amy, I swear, I'll get to the bottom of that picture" he said seriously. His eyes hardened making me uncomfortable. I needed to change the topic-fast.

I only nodded, wishing I had avoided him instead. I looked up at him tiredly,and cleared my throat.

"I'm actually going to work this afternoon"

What are you doing?

"You are?" hie ears perked up,making me smile as his eyes widened with hope. "I can give you a ride"

Cancel!

"That would be-"

"Unnecessary" a deep voice interrupted. I turned in shock to see Sonic standing there, his arms folded, eyed hardened of Shade.

"So the Faker decides to come out the closet" he smirked.

"What-I'm not gay!" Shade flushed.

"I never said you were" he chuckled darkly.

"What are you doing here, Amy and I were having a conversation" Shade growled stepping in front of me.

I hadn't noticed before, but they almost stood at the same height. Shade was a bit shorter, but he wasn't intimidated by anyone. His long back stood firm and tall, I had forgotten how safe I had felt with him...

"Guys-" I tried. There was no need to start a silly argument. Sonic was Twenty Two for crying out loud, he didn't need to be caught up in my high school drama-

"She doesn't want to talk to you." Sonic growled.

I didn't ? News to me.

"Now, what gave you that idea speedster?"

"You think I didn't see you drag her out here? I'm not blind Faker."

Well he didn't drag me-

"Quit calling me that!" Shade barked, shoving Sonic in the chest. "At least I had the balls to apologize to her!"

After I found out you were lying via text...

"At least i wasn't sucking the skin off of Fiona's lips! Tell me, did she taste better than Amy?"

Okay, there wasn't a reminder needed Sonic...

"Wouldn't you like to know what Pinkie tastes like..." Shade smirked, licking his bottom lip, he cast me a seductive stare, making my face flush furiously.

Ha-What?! Shade...fu...okay, okay those lips know how to lie...but damn did they know how to work-

Bash!

The sudden noise made me jump, holding my hands to cover my mouth.

Sonic had slammed his fist into the side of Shades face, sending him to the floor. He pinned him down, striking his face repeatedly, horror spreading through my body as his aura began to change. I dropped my bag and raced towards them, my heart pumping.

"Sonic stop!" I yelled, running towards the defenseless Wolf beneath him. I wasn't thinking, I just had to stop him from transforming.

"Sonic please-" I begged lunging myself to protect Shade, before his hand sent me flying into the wall my leg making a profound, eerie snapping sound.

My lips parted as a scream ripped through my body. I felt my leg burning like crazy as i clutched it, my eyes widened in fear.

What just happened?!

I couldn't see. Everything was moving, bending and twisting.

He Hit me...

I panted in panic, when I heard voices calling my name. Others calling Sonic's. I heard Broody yelling at someone, then i saw a mesh of green and purple blurring. I tried my best to form faces to the voices around me.

"She's bleeding" Blaze gasped. "It's not just her leg"

"I'm going to kill him" Clo cried, she had brought me close into her, her perfume comforting me. My head was pounding as i heard loud sirens cutting through the noise around me.

Quiet...I just wanted...needed quiet...

"Amy? Amy,don't you dare!" Clo screamed, making me wince.

"Shhh..." I hushed before slipping into the darkness.

My eyes stung for some reason, I tried opening but it only hurt more. Determined, I slowly tore them open, immediately blinded from a bright light, making me hiss in pain.

"Ow..." I groaned rubbing my eyes.

I tried sitting up but one of my legs were trapped in something...I blinked a few times before my eyes finally adjusted to see my foot raised and in a huge cast.
I blinked before looking around, the familiar heart monitor machine beating steadily along with my own hearts rhythm.

Don't panic. Recap.

Shade had called me to an empty classroom, we talked, Sonic came in and they argued...I tried to stop the fight but...I had thrown myself into it instead and then...

I swallowed hard.

And then he hit me.

The curtains parted and the round face of what seemed to be my doctor brightened.

"Miss Rose! Your awake!" He chuckled in relief.

"Looks like it." I smiled

"I'm Doctor Walden, nice to meet you formally" he said taking his hand out to shake mine.

"You too. Hey, how long have I been out?" I asked rubbing my head, tracing the bandaged with my fingers.

"Over a day and a half" he smiled apologetically.

"I missed Girls night" I groaned.

He chuckled while running his hands along my cast, taking notes as he went.

"I'm sure your friends would love to see you"

"Are they here?" I asked excitedly.

"I sent them home yesterday, told them I would contact them as soon as you woke up"

My heart warmed at his scent envy and nodded.

"The is someone here though" he whispered, nudging his chin in the corner.

I glanced where he had gestured and my heart raced at the sight of him. He was fast asleep on the chair, a row of butterfly bandages lined above his eyebrow. His blue quills stood out under the bright lights, a light snore rolling off his lips.

Sonic...?

"Doctor, what about the silver wolf?" I asked

"He's fine, we sent him home as well on the day you both were admitted. He was healing...pretty well." He said, furrowing his brow.

Healing? No way could Shade have recovered so quickly.

"Alright, I'll just tighten these, and bring in some crutches for you."

I nodded, staying completely still, so he could finish his job. When he was, he removed himself from the small room and told me he would be right back with the crutches and medication I would be on for the next few weeks.
I listened to the shuffling of the busy hospital before my ears twitched when I heard him move in the chair. My palms started to sweat, and I could hear the monster pick up speed.

"Ames?" he was staring at me.

I ignored it. Tears threatened my eyes.

He hit me.

"Amy please. At least look at me" he pleaded.

I kept my post on my bed and refused to look his direction. Fresh tears threatened to fall but I wouldn't let them.

He actually hit me.

I heard him stand, and he forced himself in my line of vision, a little too close for comfort. I only glared at him.

"You hit me." I shook. My voice wavering, laced with betrayal and hurt.

He inched his face closer to mine, and his eyes were closed in concentration.

"I know." he choked.

His forehead leaned on mine, and it still felt sickly comforting. I sniffed, holding back the tears.

"Why...?" I asked breaking.

"He was right there Ames" he choked. "He almost had me...but when he...I hit you...I came back in time to see you hurt...bleeding...all because of me"

Dark Sonic.
Fear rushed through my veins as I pushed him away from me. He Sayers at me with pure hurt. Pleading with me through his emerald gaze.

"Amy talk to me..." He pleaded.

I shook my head wildly. Biting my lower lip, refusing to look at him.

"Amy please..." He begged, tucking his fingers under my chin, turning my face towards him.

"If you don't talk, I'll-I'll kiss you" he said softly but seriously.

Did i hear him correctly? I stare into his serious eyes and my heart began pounding, the monitor syncing with my rythem. Kiss Me? After what he just did? No, he's an engaged Hedgehog, he couldn't be serious-

"Amy, I'm serious" he said softly inching closer.

"You can trust me Ames..."

Could I? All I had to do was say something...but he's too close...I can't think straight...

His lips brushed mine when he spoke again. Sending a wave of electricity through my veins.

"Last Chance" he swallowed.

I swallowed too, a familiar heat creeped up my face, he was extremely too close now. I bit my bottom lip nervously and he swallowed...hard.

"Jesus Ames don't do that" he said in a strained tone.

He lunged forward so fast, I had barely caught it. Closing the distance between us, his lips enveloped my own, my first instinct was to pull away...but I couldn't.

They were gentle, caring, soft, but i could feel the restraint in them, trying to be gentle with me.

His lips molded mine perfectly it seemed, my eyes closed, and my arms betrayed me, wrapping themselves around his neck. He purred in response to my actions, his arms settling on either sides of my face.

I can't stop...

It was a smooth, sweet, and innocent kiss. Even as innocent as it was a low growl came from the back of my throat and I felt his lips curve upwards between our kiss...OUR kiss.

I'm kissing Sonic...and I just can't stop...

He let out a moan of his own, placing his hands at either side of me on the bed. His tongue had been right there, trembling as if it wanted to move, but his lips didn't stop caressing my own.

I can't breathe...

I pulled away first, slowly, gasping for air.

He pecked my lips gently before meeting my eyes, hesmiled a sheepish grin and wore a bright blush on his face.

"Well, so much for avoiding you..." I breathed out. I flushed madly after realizing what I'd just said, covering my mouth with my hands.

He arched a brow humorously before letting out a laugh. The laugh I had grown to love for years...

This was Sonic. Not the monster who had almost taken him from me.

I could trust him...right?
