It's Friday baby!
So, I'm not sure if i told this you guys, but this story is also on Wattpad! I usually write on the go on my cellphone, so that i can update quicker and it's posted there first. I do updates and dedications too so if you don't have Wattpad...get it. It's as free as Oxygen.
Only if you want to hehe.
Some of the readers there appriciated the story being told in my OC's P.O.V, so I tried a Chapter dedicated through her eyes.
So without further ado...
All Those Years: Re-Written
Chapter 13-Through Clovers Eyes
A soft knock came from the other side of the door, making me sigh, sitting up straight in bed.
"It's open" I called.
Two maids came rushing in, placing my clothes for the day as well as pushing a tray that held my breakfast. They chorused a 'good morning' as if it was practiced...which it was, before leaving me alone again.
I , stretched my tired limbs before sliding out of the massive bed, towards my bathroom. After freshening up, I came out tying my hip length hair into a slack ponytail before taking of the silver lid on the breakfast cart. My stomach growled at the sight
before me; a stack of waffles lightly covered in powdered sugar, at least five strips of bacon, a small jug of orange juice, and an equally small sized pot filled with coffee. A tea cup had been turned upside down on a neat platter, beside a normal
drinking glass.
Well damn, someone's trying to suck up...
"I seriously need a cup of Joe today" I groaned.
I grabbed the small pot, turning the teacup over, filling it with the dark substance. I dropped three cubes of sugar in the cup and added cream.
Taking a careful sip, I shivered in delight as the warm concoction defrosted me from the inside out.
Yep, definitely sucking up.
My dad royally screwed up this time. He made the mistake of leaving his office unlocked and I may or may not have snooped in his office. Turns out I have a baby brother named Cody. He was pretty cute actually, but my mom didn't know that.
I wonder if it his way of payback for her sleeping with the former security guard...?
Who knows what those two were thinking anyway? Definitely not me.
I got some waffles for keeping my mouth shut though.
I finished my breakfast, and threw on the brand new outfit that had been picked out for me.
And new clothes too...
I grabbed my things and closed my bedroom door behind me.
As I passed the few servants in the house, each greeted me warmly before continuing their daily tasks.
It was completely routine.
My life was planned out from the moment I had been conceived. As if someone wrote a script of my life, and I had to follow it.
Everyday.
It made me wonder how quaint Cody's life may be. Would it be similar to mine? Or would he grow up completely normal without a care in the world?
Either way, I bet it was way better than the life I had to live.
At precicely eight o'clock, the ink black Rolls Royce pulled in front of me, Bernard turned slightly, opening the door for me.
"Thanks Bernie" I said polightly, before slipping into the comfortable seating of the car.
The air condition soothed my skin, set to the temperature I best enjoyed. I felt the car pull as we exited the large prison i was to call my home and I eased into the chair, relaxing my muscles.
"Would you like to watch some telivison Miss Leif?" came a new voice on the intercom.
"Are you the new traineee?" i askd instead.
Since Antonio got fired for sleeping with Mom, I was curious about the new guard who would be spending a lot of time with me.
A chuckle came and I saw a gliimpse of his head through the privacy screen.
"That's Right. Name's Andrew, but I prefer Drew" his thick Australian accent calming my nerves.
"Your pretty different" I giggled. "I like that, and I'd love to watch some TV Drew"
Antonio had a rich Spanish accent, which my mom adored, it was the only reason she came by to visit me. I had to give my dad credit, even though he practically got her back by having another kid, he fired Antonio and replaces him with an Aussie.
The one accent she absolutely despises.
Because even if their young...that never stops her. I shuddered to myself.
By the sound of it, he's probably not much older than me...
I saw him arch his head in releif, before reaching to press a button on the dash, the television that had been installed comming to veiw. I searched the armchair for the remote when the news came on, but before I could change it, a flash of pink made
me focus on the screen.
"The former member of The Sonic Team, has successfully been enrolled in our local high school! Seems like just yesterday we had our first Celebrity; Miss Clover Leif!" the announcer sqealed, portraying a full body picture of me next to the new girl.
"Pretty...Hey, isnt that MiMi Rose?" I asked pushing the intercom button
"Ameliea Rose" Drew corrected with a chuckle.
"Ameliea? I mean it sounds cute...but Mimi is way cuter" I mumbled watcing clips from previous battles she had been captured in.
"Damn she can fight.." I whistled
If I had done that in front of my mother...let alone curse so freely...
"S-Sorry" I said into the intercom. "I forgot to turn it off"
"I'm not comlaining" Drew said seriously. "I dont get why the rules here are so damn strict anyway"
I giggled. "Then why did you apply for the job?"
"Maybe I'll tell you that another day, but right now, I'm afraid our time has been cut short"
I glanced outside the window to see the large school before me, and the swarm of reporters and students blocking the way.
"Woah...Deh jah vu" I marveled.
This Mimi girl has got to be a big deal. I could vaguely remember when this was all centered around me, and i couldn't help but to feel a bit jealous that the attention wasn't on me this time.
Or if it wasn't at all...
"Poor girl, I know how rough these guys can get" I said worriedly.
Drew made way in the large crowd before coming to the door,allowing me to exit.
"It's Clover!" someone yelled.
"Oh shit-"
Drew casually walked before me and pulled two batons from his holster, spinning them simoultaneously.
"Don't think you'd want to do that mate" he said darkly.
Ahhhh, another good reason daddy hired him...I thought to myself.
Through the clearing of reporters, I saw the small girl standing awkwardly amongst the cameras.
Her pink quills had been held together in a neat ponytail, accessorized with a simple maroon headband to match her baggy tank top. She wore faded ripped jeans, a pair of white converse, and her grey backpack hung loosely from one shoulder. Her panicked
jade eyes locked with mine, and my feet began moving on their own.
"Miss Leif?" Drew asked walking beside me.
"Stay close" I instructed, my eyes locked on Amy.
"Alright! Give the girl some time to breathe" I scoffed moving the reporters out the way,linking my arm with hers.
"Miss Clover were you aware about Miss Rose's arrival?" one lady asked. She was dressed professionally and had a determined look on her face. Daddy said that if they look sincere and professional it's okay to answer a few questions. So I answered.
"Of course, I know all the latest Jean"
A little lie won't hurt if there's a inch of truth in between. Besides, I did hear about it this morning. Can you blame me, I was too busy learning about my new baby brother.
"What are your intentions his school year?"
Huh? Shoot got lost in thought for a second.
"Well-" I began before I felt a squeeze from the girl beside me.
The pink hedgehog beside me visibly relaxed, before emitting the cutest shy smile I've ever seen.
"I just want to blend in with everyone" she said softly. "And make as many friends as possible" she finished glancing my way.
I blushed. I shit you not. I blushed.
I waved off the remaining reporters with Drew's help, before hauling the new girl in the school.
"Thanks for saving me" she said releasing a sigh.
"No need to thank me Mimi, I know how it is with those reporters"
"Mimi?" She questioned with her sweat dropped.
"What? Oh, I know your names Amy but no offense, Mimi sounds way cuter" I waved her question away with a hand before taking her straight to the front office.
Maybe I should watch my bluntness with her, she's new and I don't want to scare her off so quickly-
"It is" she giggled. "Well you know my name, but o don't know yours. The reporter said Miss Clover?"
She-did she agree with me just now..?
"Clover. Clover Leif" I stopped to shake her hand.
"Rose. Amelia Rose. But my friends call me Amy, or Ames-" she choked, squeezing my hand a bit, a flash of hurt rushed across her face before she shook it off.
"Well, apparently, I'm called Mimi too now." She laughed awkwardly,playing with a loose strand of hair.
Something wrong with that nickname just now...? Ames..?
"Well Mimi, this is the front office, and this lovely lady is Mrs. Tresh"
Mrs Tresh was a quiet, beautiful red panda, dressed respectfully as usual.
"Welcome to our Highschool Amelia, my daughter completely idolizes you"
"M-Me?!" She asked completely surprised.
Did she forget she was crazy famous for being on the Sonic Team?
"Yes of course, she waves her little cosplay Hammer around the house, whenever she watches you on the news. It's given her miraculous confidence to take on elementary school, and I can't thank you enough" she smiled, wiping a tear.
Mimi touched her heart gently and smiled lovingly at the woman. "My pleasure" she whispered.
If I'm not careful I might change my sexuality for this chick...
After Mimi received her schedule, I showed her around the school, a few students asking for her autograph or a picture. I could see she was completely new to this, because she didn't even turn one person down. She seemed so happy to be noticed...
"And this is where everything happens" I announced, pushing the doors to the cafeteria open.
"It's huge!" She exclaimed, widening her arms at the large space.
"Well there are 5,000 of us here" I smiled.
"Damn..." She whistled. "That's like Eggman on a bad day, throwing at least 5,000 robot on is at a time" she laughed.
What. The. Fu-
"So what made you choose a public High school?" She asked suddenly.
"Huh?" I asked blinking.
"I'm not trying to be rude. But high classes girls like you would normally be found at the most prom and proper grounds money can buy" she said matter of factually.
Oh, so she's blunt too...I'm loving her every minute.
"Punishment" I said truthfully.
She laughed "What did you do? Sneak a boy in?"
"Crashed the company jet" I shrugged
"What the hell?" She laughed out loud, making a smile tug on my lips.
I took a seat on one of the empty tables and snickered. "I was being kind of a bitch to my mom and instead of crashing the car like a normal angry teenager, I took the private jet"
"Wait wasn't that dangerous?" She said sitting beside me.
"Not if you have your own pilot love"
"Is he okay?"
"He didn't die or anything, we were barely above the ground before o told him to crash it in the private hanger. He got fired for listening to me, and I got tossed in here" I said jest irony to the school with my hand.
She burst out laughing once again and I joined her.
"I've never told anyone that" o admitted.
"Glad you told me" she smiled warmly.
"So what about you? Why are you here?" I asked curiously.
"My dad got transferred" she shrugged.
"New office?"
"New threat to the country" she sighed.
"Military...?" I asked
She nodded, a sad smile on her face. "It's not the only reason though, he could have declined but I wanted to run away..."
"Why? Weren't you on the Sonic Team? Front line to the action and danger? Why would you give that up?"
"Because someone gave up on me" she choked, holding her mouth.
Okay, new topic Clover, the chick hasn't been her for an hour yet and you already have her crying.
I shot up from my seat, making her jump, her teary eyes hurting my very soul.
"I won't give up on you" I promised holding out a hand. " if you don't give up on me" I added.
Her smile returned before placing her soft hand in mine. "Deal"
?
A whole year of being by Mimi's side has been one heck of a ride. She's probably been over by my place at least over a thousand times, granting her a key pass to my place and the utmost respect form my father. I met her parents and there's no denying
where she got her kindness from. Her mother was as sweet as sugar and her father just the same with an extra boost of bravery and bluntness. In my opinion, she got everything she was supposed to revive from the two of them. I've been in her room probably
more than I'd like to admit, but it was so small competed to mine, but the cozier I've ever been in.
I slumped on her messy bed and threw my shoes off my feet before grabbing my cell.
"So show me what you've got" I grinned.
"Clo, what part of no don't you get?" She lived rolling her eyes at me.
"The n and o part" I laughed.
"I'm not good at parties" she groaned.
"And I suck in Math, yet I got my first B thanks to your nagging; therefore I have all authority to have you model for me"
"I hate you" she mumbled, opening her closet
"I love you too Mimi" I giggled seeing an air kiss her way.
"You can try looking in one of those boxes over there" she pointed to a corner of her room. " I should have one or two decent dresses in there"
I hopped off the bed and made my way towards the three stacked boxes, opening the top box.
"Oh my god is this your red and white dress?!" I squealed pulling the fabric from the others.
She smiled sadly before taking it from my hands and placing it on her chest.
"It's already too small" she laughed sadly.
"Was that from Honeys line?"
"Yeah, I practically wore it everyday" she laughed before handing it back to me. "I'll throw it out later"
"Throw it out? This has so many memories on it, you should get it framed" I suggested, placing it delicately on her bed.
"I'd like to forget some of them honestly" she sighed going through her closet again.
My hands cupped a small frame and picked it up slowly. I eyes the two figures before glancing at Mimi busying herself.
The young pink hedgehog on the frame was visibly covered in blood and tears, but you could see the relic on her face as she hugged a handsome blue hedgehog who was grinning widely as he held her close to him, his fur stained with just as much blood as
she was.
"Like this...?" I asked softly, showing her the photo.
"Sonikku..." She gasped, tears streaming down her face. Her shaking hands held the photo, running a gloved hand across it before her face became a scowl, tossing it on the opposite wall with a scream, landing perfectly in her garage can by her desk.
I was taken back by her outburst and swung my head in the direction of the shattered photo, and then back or her hurt expression tearing me apart.
"Mimi..."
"I don't want to talk about it." She said seriously, taking the box I had been looking in, shoving it in her closet.
"This is the box the dresses are in" she sniffed, tearing the package open.
I nodded silently before searching in the tense atmosphere, glancing at my new best friend worriedly as she continued her search.
I eyed the broken frame a moment more before an idea clicked.
?
She was laughing as if nothing had been wrong. We had decided on an old gown she once wore when she traveled to a different dimension.
What I wouldn't give to see a human up close...
It was cherry red, with a gorgeous split to the side, showing off her long creamy pink legs with matching heels. It was a bit tight at first but I had my seamstress fix it up in time for my annual Pre-Fall formal party. It hugged her comfortably and was
showing off her lucious curves with an open back. Mimi had teased her hair upwards, curling it so that a few strands brushed her shoulders.
She's going to be the death of me...
"Enjoying yourself?" The thick Aussie accent sending shivers down my spine.
"As long as Mimi's having fun...then so am I " I smiled, turning to a very well dressed Andrew. " You look handsome"
"Ah, gee, don't remind me" he laughed
It was evident he didn't like dressing up, Not that I have seen him in anything but the comfortable uniform he wears along with the other employees.
"Seriously, a tux suits you" I winked.
"And a ball gown suits you " he said taking my hand in his, placing a feather of a kiss there.
"Mmm, very elegant" I smiled. I felt a small warmth creep up my cheeks as his orbs glowed warmly at me.
"Ahem! Am I interrupting something?" Amy smirked.
Drew straightens himself as I yanked my hand away from him laughing awkwardly.
"No! Uh, did you need something Mimi?" I smiled.
"Hmmmm...just wondering if you'd like some fresh air?" She pleased with her eyes.
I laughed before nodding. "Keep watch Drew"
He nodded, masking his relaxed expression into a serious one, following us at a respective pace.
The night air felt wonderful on my skin as I inhaled.
"You needed a break too?" Mimi giggled
"Sometimes I forget I'm allowed to take a breather every once in a while."
"That's why I'm here" she smiled, nudging me
I laughed lightly, glancing at Drew who was walking casually.
"You like him don't you?"
"What about you? You've seemed to have taken quite the liking to Shade"
"Not about me right now, spill, you liiikkeee him" she teased.
I rolled my eyes but couldn't help the blush creeping up on my face."Yeah, he's just so...different."
I couldn't lie to her. Never have I lied to her, and I won't start now.
"He's a looker for sure. Pretty damn good of a driver too."
"He makes me feel so safe" I confessed
"He is your bodyguard Clo" she snorted.
"No, not just protecting me around reporters and shit. I mean...I can talk to the guy, he listens to me, and no matter how unladylike I am...he just ..."
"Accepts you ?" She said with a smile in her voice
"Exactly..." I sighed. "But it's inappropriate" I finished in annoyance.
"Why?"
I glanced at her in shock. "My parents wouldn't let me hear the end of it! And on top of that...he's get fired for messing with me, his employers daughter. I can't screw that up, he has a mother to take care of. Besides...id just be like my mom" I growled.
"Bullshit" she shrugged.
"What?"
"Bullshit." She confirmed. "Clo, your nothing like your parents. Especially your mom. You actually like the guy, she can't bark at you for having feelings, and your dads cool, I bet he'd probably give him a different job so that
you guys could work something out. That way it's not indecent if he doesn't work for you guys." She smiled.
I blinked at her response and could feel my heart swell.
"I might be in love with you" I admitted with a laugh.
"Tell me somethings don't know" she smirked.
"I have another being living in my hair" I shrugged.
Silence.
"How many glasses of champagne dos you drink?" She asked with a raised brow.
"I'm serious. When I'm angry there's this tingle in my hair, just before my spikes sharpen...those thing forms in a flower...I call him Flora"
"Flora?"
"Well he's a flower and I didn't have any other name for him..."
"You sure you didn't want to be on the Sonic Team ?" She nudged me with her elbow.
I snickered before twitching my ear. "You hear that?" I asked her.
"Yelling... She confirmed standing straight.
Drew stopped pacing and pulled out his stun gun, making his way to us.
"You guys get inside and I'll check it out" he said seriously.
"No, it's...moms voice" I said in surprise, picking up my frilly gown, rushing down the stone steps.
"Wait up!" Amy whisper-yelled , her bare feet slapping on the ground until she was beside me.
"Ditched your shoes ?" I smiled before kicking my own heels off.
Drew sped in front of us with his armed gun through the large garden before entering the large maze that led to the pond. I led Amy through before coming to a halt. Drew was standing completely still, aiming the gun at my father.
"D-Daddy...?" I asked in horror.
The man before us was messily dressed in a tux, holding a beautiful Mint green cat by the throat. My mothers red painted nails dug into his large hands, her lips gasping for air, her bare feet swinging almost lifelessly.
"Sir, I'm doing to ask you again...pleas put Mrs Leif down..." Drew pleaded.
"She did it again..." He said hoarsely.
"Sir, be reasonable" Drew offered.
"Reasonable?" He laughed darkly, REASONABLE?!" he laughed, a crazy look in his eyes.
"This little bitch has been cheating on me ever since my princess was born! She never came to look for her daughter much less her husband! I have been reasonable with her for thirteen years!"
"Sir please, this is my last warning, don't let this happen in front of Clover!" He begged .
My toes curled on the lush grass, my fists balled tightly.
He's right about her not being there...
"Clo?" Amy asked worriedly, holding onto me.
He was going to kill her right in front of me...
"Clover" Amy called again.
I saw him squeeze tighter, my mothers chokes brought me satisfaction...
"Clover snap out of it!" Amy yelled, blocking my view.
My blurred vision cleared almost immediately as o searched her worried Jade orbs.
"Wha..."
She enveloped me in a hug, and I stood there as still as a rock, when I saw my father twitching on the ground , Drew kneeling in front of my coughing mother, as she assured him she was fine .
"He shot him...Is he okay...?" I whispered.
Amy released me and looked at me seriously.
"Are you okay?" She asked, searching my eyes.
I nodded before glancing at her hands, they had been stained with blood.
"Forget about me! Your hand-"
"Shh!" She hissed. "I'm fine, I'll tell you later, but right now, I'm getting you out of here."
?
We'd made our way to my room, she had managed to successfully bandage herself expertly, after cleaning her own wounds.
My guess was that she had to do this often in battle with her former teammates...
She sat next to me on my large bed and exhaled. "Well, I met Flora" she giggled.
"What?!"
"You were pretty angry back there Clo." she said shrugging. "I scraped my hands on your quills when I tried my best to hide him...But I couldn't, sooo, I had to get you to chill out"
"I-I hurt you? I didn't even know, Mimi I'm so sorry-"
"Hey." she interrupted. "I told you I wasn't going to give up on you. I meant that."
I felt tears streaming down my face, and I didn't care that I'd practically ruined my make up.
I threw myself in her arms, and cried loudly. I felt my chest tearing apart as i screamed, a rough feeling like fire spreading across my chest as I cried. It felt like forever since I've let my emotions loose. I probably looked like a complete mess...I
couldn't control the sobs. And throughout the entire gory experience, Amy stayed by me, running her hands along my hair, and back lovingly.
She stayed by me when my parents got divorced.
She stayed while I struggled to train Flora.
She stayed when I met Cody for the first time...
She even stayed when Blaze joined our group...threatening me that she'd snag Mimi for herself.
As if.
She stayed with me for five years...not once showing any signs of leaving me.
?-?
As I looked back at the hedgehog pair, her adorable blushing pink face was visible, as the cobalt blue hedgehog lifted her in his arms protectively...my heart warmed at the sight.
This time, I'll be the one making sure your'e okay Mimi.
"Don't screw this up "I mouthed to the blue hedgehog while he stole a glance at me.
He gave me a secure nod. "I won't" he mouthed back.
I yelped as Amy's mom dragged Blaze and I out of the hospital, before letting us go whith a warm smile on her face.
"She's fine girls...she's in good hands"
She'd better be...
And that my lovely readers, was Clovers point of view ✨
Did you like it? Love it?
I certainly did! That's why it's finished so early!
