Ch. 13 A New Beginning

I watched the houses pass me by. I was in the front seat of Diamond's real car. She said that she would take care of me for a while. Sonic and Crystal were also moving into Diamond's giant mansion that she lived in by herself. It kind of took me by surprise when I heard that she was single. She seemed like she would have a boyfriend, though she said the same thing about me. But the thing with me was that I did have a boyfriend, I just messed it up. We drove down a long driveway up to a giant tan house. It had a big brown patio on the side, little gardens bordering the house, and big brown bordered windows.

"You like it," Diamond asked. I nodded.

"It's beautiful," I replied. She smiled and patted my thigh.

"It's a lot of money," she laughed. I smiled and unstrapped myself. I went to the trunk of the truck and started to get my suitcases out. Sonic came out the house in a blue t shirt and jeans and walked toward the car. He leaned on the side of the car, staring at me with a smile pasted on his face. "Yes I'm having fun," I said sarcastically. He laughed and took some of the suitcases out of my hand and carried them into the house. I wondered why he was being so nice to me. Sure, he was nice to everyone, but it seemed weird after our breakup. Maybe he just doesn't want it to be sour between us. I took the rest of my suitcases out and followed Diamond inside. She was carrying my duffel bags that were in the backseat. I walked into a palace.

The floor was waxed and was a light gold color. There was a huge chandelier that hung from the ceiling in the middle of the huge hallway. A large gold and brown staircase went around a corner. The living room had a giant flat screen television with gold brown couches and a brown coffee table. A small chandelier was hanging from that ceiling. The dining room had a long wooden table with another small chandelier hanging above it. "Does the kitchen have a chandelier in it," I asked. Diamond laughed, but shook her head no. Sonic came down the stairs, grabbed my suitcases and the duffel bags and went back upstairs. I followed him, kind of amazed that he could carry all that in two hands. He led me down a long hallway to a giant rose pink room. It had a full bed with a rose graphic comforter on it. The rug was a hot pink. There was a dark red chestnut desk and drawers. A dark red chestnut vanity table was also in the room. A small couch and chairs completed the room. No, what completed the room was the huge walk in closet. The size of it was bigger than my old room itself and it had like five mirrors in it. "Whoa," I said, coming out the closet. "That's all ya got to say is 'whoa'," Sonic said watching me.

"Well, I could scream in your ear the level of my excitement, but I decided to pass," I said. I laid down on my bed. "Thank you by the way," I said. Sonic nodded once. He had helped me unpack for a few hours. I got up and turned on my radio. I skipped to the door and shut it. I put in my favorite CD and played it. The music came on and I started dancing to the music. Sonic started laughing. I laughed too. I shimmied to him and took his hands. I made him dance with me. We bounced around the room, shaking our heads crazily.

Lost in the moment
Can't believe you're so beautiful
Feels like I'm in a dream
Baby we're going
Somewhere you've never been before
So take my hand and come with me

Girl don't feel outta place
Coz I, I'm in love with this feeling now

And I, I, hope that this will last a while
We should make it last a while

You like to drink, so do we
Get more bottles, bring 'em to me
Hold your glasses up, people everywhere
Now everybody put your hands in the air say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Girl I wanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna see you tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Girl I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
I gotta see you tonight

Oh oh, oh woh oh oh
Oh oh, let me see your hands
Oh oh, oh woh oh oh
Oh oh, tonight is the night

"I wanna see ya tonight," Sonic sang along, pointing at me. I laughed. I grabbed his hand and he twirled me around. We danced for an hour or two to my CDs until a slow song came on. I smiled, knowing the chords of the piano. "You know this," Sonic asked.

"Yea, my dad and I used to dance to this all the time," I replied.

"Do you wanna dance with me," he asked, holding out his hand. I took it. He put his other arm around my waist and my other arm went around his shoulder. Our feet moved at the same time. Stepping the waltz to the beat of the music. He kept his eyes locked with mine. Boys usually don't know how to do the waltz, but this one did. Impressive. The song ended and we stopped. He smiled at me. "You weren't half bad," he said.

"Me? You're lucky you didn't trip over your feet," I said.

"Not my feet, yours." I tried to walk away, but I forgot he was still holding my hand. He pulled me back and I twirled into him. His arm around me. How did he do that? I looked into his eyes. I leaned my head closer to his and he did the same. Our lips almost touched when my cell phone rang. Sonic released me after pecking my lips quickly. He winked at me before walking out the room. I touched my lips. Did he just kiss me? I answered my phone before my caller could get any more annoyed. "Hello," I said.

"Amy, hey," my cousin Rebecca yelled into the phone.

"Hey Becca, what's up?"

"We just heard about your mom. We're really sorry."

"Becca, it's my fault. I got John angry," I said, sitting on my bed. I had closed the door.

"No, it's John's fault for doing it."

"I guess you're right."

"So, any hot guys down there in Station Square?"

"Well, there is one guy."

"Ohhh, what's his name?"

"Why is it always about me? What's going with Drew?"

"He's fine, now back to you."

"His name is Sonic."

"Exciting name, go on."

"He's a hedgehog."

"What color is his fur and eyes?"

"Cobalt fur and light green eyes."

"Colorful and beautiful colors."

"Um he's into three different sports."

"Athletic, awesome. What sports?"

"Track, football, and basketball."

"Ah football jock, nice one."

"But he doesn't act like a jock. He's nice, considerate, thoughtful, funny, sweet, handsome-"

"Amy."

"Oh sorry. But he's also really smart."

"How smart?"

"All honors and gets all A's smart."

"Oh, how fine is he?"

"Becca."

"What just asking."

"Fine, really fine."

"Six pack?"

"Eight." I heard her scream on the other end. I laughed.

"You've got it good! When did you guys meet?"

"School."

"How at school?"

"Um locker neighbors and we sit next to each other in homeroom."

"Who made the first move?"

"What 'first move'?"

"I need to get you a girl slang book. I mean who talked first?"

"Oh. Him."

"What did he say?"

"You've got guts."

"What?"

"Well we hated each other at first, but you know how hate turns into love."

"Aw, it does. Are you guys dating?"

"Not anymore."

"What? Why not?"

"Well his evil brother came back to town and kind of broke us apart. But, we're friends now."

"Just friends?"

"Friends who flirt a lot, but that's basically it."

"Flirting? Now that's my girl." I laughed.

"And I think he kissed right before you called."

"What? No way!"

"It was a quick peck, but I'm sure he knew what he was doing." She squealed.

"Amy, you have this boy wrapped around your finger! Next time I need flirting help, I'm calling you!"

"Okay, but he's the one doing most of it."

"And you're giving it back. He flirts, you flirt. That's just how things work." I laughed. My cousin was so crazy.

I walked downstairs and saw Crystal watching TV in the living room. I sat down next to her on the couch. She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. Her cancer had went away, but it did leave her with diabetes and some kind of disease where you have muscle failure at times. "What are you watching," I asked.

"Kim Possible, it's my favorite," she said.

"I used to love that show when I was your age."

"Really? It came on?"

"Yup. I was so happy when they bought it back for you little guys."

"Thanks Amy. Do you wanna watch it with me?"

"Sure." Her smile got bigger. She lay her head down in my lap. We watched the show for an hour and a half together before Crystal fell asleep. I lifted her head up and I got up, laying her head back on the couch gently. I looked up and saw Sonic. I jumped. "Are you stalking me or something," I asked. He smiled, but shook his head.

"Just wandering around and happened to end up here. I can take her upstairs for ya," he said. He walked toward Crystal. He held her bridal style as he picked her up. Her lead leaned against his chest. A little pang of jealousy went at my heart as my head was not leaning against his chest like that and that I wasn't in his arms. Sonic carried her upstairs. I sat back down on the couch and started flipping through the channels. Diamond had already left for her night shift at the station and since Crystal was asleep, it was just me and Sonic tonight. Sonic came back down the stairs and walked into the living room. He leaned against the doorway. I looked over at him and saw him staring at me. I smiled and patted the space next to me. He grinned back and sat down next to me. He leaned back and let his arms fall against the top of the couch. I leaned back too; kind of sad his arms weren't over my shoulder. Sonic took the remote out my hands playfully. "Hey," I said. He smiled. He had nothing better to do, but to mess with me. "You want it, come get it," he said. I sat up and pushed his shoulders diagonally so that he fell laying down. I got on top of him and tried to take the remote form his hands. He kept tossing it from hand to hand. I finally grabbed it and he grabbed my shoulders. He sat up so I fell down. He hovered over me, grinning. I shoved his shoulder. "Get off, you're heavy," I said, smiling. His grin turned into a smile. "Make me," he said. I rolled over, sending him to the floor. I laughed. "Just did," I said. He was laughing as he got up. I sat up, making room for him on the couch. He sat down across from. He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. I obeyed. I'd been wanting to get closer to him all day. He put me on his lap, He was laughing as he got up. I sat up, making room for him on the couch. He sat down across from. He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. I obeyed. I'd been wanting to get closer to him all day. He put me on his lap, my head laying on his chest. Again I wondered why he was doing this.

"You comfy," he asked, grinning.

"Very," I said without sarcasm. Sonic noticed this and he looked kind of happy about it. He wrapped his arms around me. I blushed. We watched TV like this for a while. After about three hours, I got tired. I kept trying to get comfortable enough to sleep. "You tired too," he asked. I looked up at him to see drowsiness in his eyes.

"Yea," I murmured. He moved out from under me and picked me up the same way he did Crystal. He carried me up the stairs and into my room. He laid me down on my bed. "Sonic, can I ask you something," I said after he put me down.

"Sure, what's up," he said, kneeling down onto his knees.

"Be honest."

"You have my word."

"Alright. Do you still have… feelings… for me?" His eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected that.

"Um, maybe we should talk in the morning."

"Sonic, please." He sighed.

"Yes Amy, I do. I never stopped. Why do you think I mess with you so much?"

"Because you're bored and have nothing else to do." He smirked quickly, but let it drop.

"When I kissed you earlier, I thought that I was giving you a clue that maybe this whole friend thing isn't hiding what I feel for you. We broke up, sure, but what's wrong with trying again?"

"Nothing's wrong with trying again. I would love to try again; it's just that I don't want to mess up. I always mess everything up. That's why my mom's dead."

"Don't think like that."

"But it's true. I don't want to lose you too."

"You won't, I promise." He took my hand and kissed it. He leaned forward and kissed me softly, quickly, pulling away after only a few moments of his lips molding mine. "I love you," he said. He got up and went to the open door.

"I love you too," I said loud enough for him to hear. He looked back and smiled at me before closing the door behind him.
