Ch. 15 Lies, Betrayals, and Tears

I opened my eyes and saw it was nighttime. Sonic's arm around me. I sat up a little. Sonic and I must've fell asleep when we were watching that movie. I laid back down and looked at Sonic. I was wondering if I should put some whip cream on his face. Naw, he would only attack me again. I smiled at the thought of me and Sonic fighting. Sonic's eyes opened, revealing his light green eyes. He smiled at me. "Hey beautiful," he said.

"Hi handsome," I replied. His smile increased. He kissed me softly. My hands went to tangle themselves in his quills. His hands bought me closer. He pulled away and kissed my forehead. He sat up and got up. He walked over to the T.V. and turned it off. He went out his room. I sat up and got up as well. I walked down the dark hallways of the mansion, simply looking for my own room. Once I found it, I went in and crawled into my bed. I fell back into unconsciousness.


I played the piano softly, playing melodies, lyrics appearing in my mind. I wrote another note and line in my notebook. Sonic appeared in the doorway, staring at me, a hard look on his face. I smiled at him. He walked away. What was up with him? I shook the weird feeling off and continued playing. I wrote some more. Once I was sure I was done the song, I started singing the first verse.

"I'm attracted to his glitz and his glamour, I'm attracted to the lights in his eyes
And once you get a taste of his poison, you'll get all wrapped up in his lies
You don't have to give in and fall for nothing
Even if you were to feel that you were through
You're an angel that's casted out from heaven
It's sad but true and makes me wonder why"

"That was awesome Amy," I heard Crystal say. I looked up to see her standing in the doorway, a huge smile pasted on her face. I smiled.

"Thanks, I just wrote it," I replied.

"Wow, you're a great singer and an awesome song writer."

"Thanks."

"Can you sing me the whole song," she asked.

"Sure," I said motioning for her to come over. She sat down next to me on the piano bench. My fingers started playing over the keys.

"I'm attracted to his glitz and his glamour, I'm attracted to the lights in his eyes
And once you get a taste of his poison, you'll get all wrapped up in his lies
You don't have to give in and fall for nothing
Even if you were to feel that you were through
You're an angel that's casted out from heaven
It's sad but true and makes me wonder why

It's over, said and done
Looks like they found themselves a new one
And just like that a star is born
It makes me wonder

Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a s*** at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood

Mother always told me, "Jo, be careful, everything that glitters ain't gold"
"Don't fall in love with a promising man because he'll just use you and leave you for broke"
So you signed your name on the line, don't read the fine print
Thinking you'll blow up overnight, night
Gave the world, but your wings, you lost them
Drowning in the tears that you cry and that's why

It's over, said and done
Looks like they found themselves a new one
And just like that a star is born
It makes me wonder

Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a s*** at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood

We're living in a place of tinsel and wear
Everything is fake, faded and worn
Relying on your looks can only take you so far
But even then you got girls chasing dollar bills
And left looking for a thrill
It's not real 'cause in time it will all disappear

Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a s*** at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood

Not alone
Not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Oh, I'm all alone"

Crystal clapped when I was finished. "What's it talking about Amy," she asked.

"Well you know how you wonder about being a superstar? Well it's talking about how stars get big, but then get left all alone. It's asking if Hollywood cares that they break people's hearts and if they care if they care if they break someone's dreams since there's no guarantee you'll make it big," I replied.

"Well it's awesome. Hey, do you know what's up with Sonic?"

"No, do you?"

"Um no, but I think he said something about you."

"Me? What did I do?"

"I said 'think', I'm not sure. Maybe you should ask him."

"Okay," I said, getting up. I walked around the house until I found him on one of the balconies, staring out at the sky. "There you are," I said walking up to him. The look he gave me sent shivers down my back. I stood next to him. I took one of his balled up hands.

"What's wrong," I asked softly. He didn't answer.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want too, but I was just curious," I said. I got no answer again. I nuzzled my head against his arm. He looked at me coldly as I did so. I hugged his arm, loving how muscular it was. Sonic was still silent. I couldn't even hear the sound of his breathing though his stomach showed signs that he was breathing. "So, I wrote a song," I said, trying to brighten his mood. Still no answer.

"Crystal like it, she said I could sing, though I'm not so sure still. What happened to you last night? You kiss me and then disappear, what was up with that? You should have stayed asleep longer, then I could've stole your cheese again." I smiled, still babbling. "Or I could've sprayed whip cream on your face. To tell you the truth, I thought about it, but decided not to since I love you too much. So, what movie were we watching last night? Was it an oldie? I think it was in black in white. Or was it one of those action movies you like? No, it couldn't have been 'cause that would be too much noise and we wouldn't be able to fall asleep with that on. Maybe it was one of those boring movies that makes no sense and-"

"Can you shut up already," Sonic said coldly. His voice scared me. He shook me off his arm.

"What's wrong," I asked innocently. He glared.

"Don't act like nothing's wrong." I was confused.

"What did I do?"

"Are you that stupid?"

"What?"

"The text messages."

"Text messages?"

"The ones you sent to everybody at school."

"What text messages did I send?"

"The ones about my life story Amy, except you turned it around into a humiliation."

"Sonic, I swear I didn't-"

"Sure you didn't."

"I didn't. I don't even know what you're talking about." He narrowed his eyes.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. 'Sonic has a such a poor life, boo hoo, he even had to get the principal to pay his rent'. You remember that Amy?"

"No, I don't. Sonic, I'm serious, I really don't know about anything you're talking about." I felt tears fall down my cheeks. He was accusing me of something I didn't do. He didn't even trust me. He came closer, cornering me, backing me up against the railing of the balcony. "Look me in the eye and tell me it wasn't you," Sonic said. I tried to look in his eyes, but they were too cold, too filled with hatred. I leaned my head into his chest.

"Sonic, please believe me when I said I didn't. Why are you accusing me anyway?"

"Because you're the only one I told these things too. My dad, my sister, my thoughts, I let you in on all that. Everybody else was in the dark about it until now."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"How can I?" I felt like he had slapped me in the face. The words stung. He didn't believe me. He never did. "Amy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" he started.

"It's okay, I love you," I said. I heard him growl slightly.

"I meant that I can't trust you. I don't know why I did in the first place." Those words hurt worse. I pushed him away from me slightly just so that I could hold him in my arms.

"Sonic you don't mean that," I said, looking into his eyes. There were filled with even more hatred than before.

"You don't know my thoughts."

"I'll fix this Sonic. I'm sorry, somebody must of-"

"Just leave," he said removing my hands.

"Son-"

"Just leave me. It's over," he said coldly. I stopped trying, I just ran from him. Somebody set us up. I ran up to my room, shutting the door behind me. I picked up my phone, but I had sent no messages. I barely text in the first place. I did notice that I had a text though. It was from a blocked number.

Moving Mountains huh? Too bad, you guys made a perfect couple. It said. I knew it, somebody set us up. Somebody who knows Sonic. I already knew who.


I walked up to Scourge who smiled at my presence. "Amy, so sorry about the break up," he said.

"I knew it was you," I said.

"Aw, feeling intimidated? I was doing you two a favor and I also made myself happy. My brother's miserable, but I also regret hurting such a pretty girl like you," he tried to touch my cheek. I slapped his hand away.

"How could you?"

"Easy, just let my evil instincts come out and there you have it."

"Why do you hate your brother? What did he ever do to you?"

"It's his fault our father's gone. He heard his mother talking about our dad, but he didn't say a thing. Didn't even try to defend him."

"He was probably scared!"

"He's an idiot! He couldn't even warn him. He saw the car coming, so why didn't he say anything?"

"Scourge, look, i know you're mad about this but-"

"But nothing. I promised him a lifetime of misery and that's exactly what I intend on giving him," he said coldly before walking past me.


I walked into the mansion, frustrated with myself. Crystal skipped up to me, the rag doll I gave her in her hands. She smiled brightly at me. I forced a smile. "Do you wanna play dolls with me Amy," she asked.

"Um sure just let me talk to your brother real quick," I said before running past her. "Okay," she called after me. I ran to his room. It was closed. I knocked.

"Go away Amy," he growled. How did he know it was me?

"Sonic, look I know you're mad, but it wasn't me. It was Scourge, I can prove it," I said, pleading.

"I don't care, just go away," he said.

"What are you saying then? You wanted us to break up?" No reply. "Sonic," I said softly, knocking on the door again. I tried to open it, but it was locked. "Sonic, please let me in," I said.

"Just go away," he growled again.

"I love you," I said.

"…I hate you," he replied, his voice colder than ice. I felt tears in my eyes.

"Sonic, you don't mean that. You love me too. Say you do."

"I don't love you."

"Stop saying that. You said you did."

"A while ago, not anymore."

"A person's feelings can't change so quickly, especially when you love someone." No reply. "Sonic?"

"I just said the three words that can explain that I don't love you, why are you still here?"

"Because I love you and nothing's going to change that." No reply. "Sonniku?"

"Don't call me that! I'm not your boyfriend! I'm not your friend! I'm nothing to you anymore! And you're nothing to me!"

"Sonic-"

"I hate you! Now go bother someone who likes you! Someone who wants to hear your pathetic voice! Like my sister!"

"Is this what you want," I asked, tears falling down my cheeks. No answer. I banged on the door. "Sonic answer me!"

"Yes," I heard his voice say quietly. More tears fell down my cheeks.

"No matter what you say, I'll still love you," I said. I waited for a reply. For some type of kindness in his voice, but all I got was a bitter silence. I walked to my room with my head down, tears streaming down my face. Diamond and Crystal saw me. Diamond looked hopefully at me.

"I know it wasn't you. It was his wreck of a brother and I know you know that. He knows it too. Just give him some space, he's just angry. He'll come to his senses soon," she said.

"But he said he hated me. He broke up with me. He said he wanted this," I replied glumly. Diamond put her hand on my shoulder.

"He'll regret it and he'll comfort you when he's calmed down enough. Don't think this is the end of you and him. For all we know, this could be the very beginning." She smiled softly at me. Crystal hugged my leg. I nodded, too sad to smile. I continued to my room. I shut the door behind me when I reached it. I looked at my open notebook with my song opened on it. I picked it up as I sat on my bed. Don't fall in love with a promising man because he'll just use you and leave you for broke. That line stuck out to me. Sonic didn't use me, he didn't know. But he did leave me with a broken heart.

Sad chap i kno, especially after a happy fluffy one, i'm so disappointed in myself. Yes, they broke up and i don't know if Sonic meant what he said yet, but so far i'm sure he did. I tortured Amy again, and i kind of liked it. Btw, the song was by JoJo and it was called "Hollywood". Anyway, next time i update it will be in 2011, i'm sure. PLEASE REVIEW and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
