Yay! 2nd chapter.
"Oh, son."- called out Aleena trying to get her sons attention.
"Look, mom. I'm sorry that I interrupted you. I was just trying to get Blaze and Shadow not to fight on the first day of school"
"I'm not mad, but please.. Do not get in no trouble this year. I really would not like to have to suspend you over something stupid. Okay?"
"Okay, mom. I'll try. It wont be easy though."- says Sonic with a huge smirk on his face.
"Well, what's you and Bex's schedule? You guys get any classes together?"
"Yeah, just about every one except for maybe 3."
"Well, alright. I'll see you after school. You want me to take you home?"
"No, mom. Bex is going to."
"Stop growing up on me, boy! Love you son"-says Aleena as she walks back to her office.
As soon as the bell started, all of the kids got their lockers arranged. Some shared with their friends. Some were horrified by having a bottom locker. Then the real fun began. In English, Silver, Blaze and DC all had the pure pleasure about learning Shakespeare's plays, and how they were going to be in a huge theater play later on in the year. In Geometry B, Knuckles, Rouge, Sonic, and Shadow all learned about what not to do while in Geometry and the basic rules of learning math. In History, Amy however, was still crying her eyes out, and was still severely shaken from what she had learned.
"Amy, what's wrong?"- asked a familiar fox named Fiona
"Oh, hey Fiona. Nothing. Just guy probs."
"Lemme guess, you and Shadow just broke up?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Well, I could tell. Whenever you guys were hanging out with me and Scourge, I could just tell something was up. You guys just don't act the same around each other. Are you guys just drifting apart or is it just mutual?"
"No, that girl that moved down here during the summer kissed Shadow the other night…."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Amy. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe it is for the best. Because, I know you still like Chuckie."
"Yeah, but he's in another state."
"Well, steal him back. I mean, I know we are only teenagers and we shouldn't have to care about guys, but we will all be adults in a few months. At least have a high school sweetheart and experience your first taste of love."
"I did that's the bad thing. He doesn't want to love anyone. He just wants what he can get. He wants her. He's probably done more than kissed her. I don't even know or care. It's days like this where I wish Bex would have never got them two to meet."- says Amy as she starts to cry more than what she was when she started to sit down.
After four more classes of doing nothing besides getting your books and collecting syllabi, the gang finally got their lunch break. The lunchroom was packed full of different students from different grades. But Sonic and his friends made sure that they got the same table they have been sitting at since the 9th grade.
"So, everybody.. what's on the lunch menu today?" – said Sonic.
"Well, hun. You mustve really told your mom about chili dogs because that is one of the choices."- said Bex
"So glad my mom gave me extra lunch money. I'm chowing down today."
"Sonic will never grow up, will he Bex?"- said Knuckles.
"Apparently not…. Amy, are you okay?"
"Where's Shadow?"- said Amy in a very angry tone.
"Right… the-" – said Bex before she was interrupted by Amy yelling at Shadow.
"HOW COULD YOU?!"- Amy yells.
"How could I what?"- says Shadow, not knowing what is going on.
"YOU KNOW!"
"No, I don't…"
"Okay.. so when you had a cold Monday.. you didn't go over to DC's did you? Cause from what I heard this morning.. You did.. and you kissed her."- says Amy. As soon as Amy says this, DC puts her head down on the table for embarrassment because Amy had heard her. DC did not mean for all of this to happen. She had only saw Shadow as friend, until she realized that he was a very nice guy that could treat her and her daughter right.
"look, amy.. I-"- says Shadow
"Don't look Amy me. We're through. I've cried so much today. I don't even want to be here anymore. I mean our relationship was going to end anyways because I am moving soon.. but that's beside the point. You lied to me. You technically cheated on me and worst of all… you never loved me. So this is goodbye, Shadow. "
"Amy, I'm sorry.."- Shadow said.. and with that Amy Rose started to walk out of the lunch room.
"Amy, sis. Don't go."- says Rouge.
"There's no other choice. I was only supposed to go today so that I could say goodbye to yall. My mom doesn't even want to move, but we have to."- Amy says. "Goodbye, sis. Keep in touch with me. And goodbye you guys. I'll miss all of y'all. And Sonic, I believe I owe you one last big hug."
As soon as Amy says that, she gives Sonic one last death hug, but she lets go this time. And with that, Amy Rose walked to the office, where she would officially be withdrew from Green Hill High School. She was supposed to make her announcement at Crave, but with her being so upset she just forgot. Meanwhile, in the lunchroom, Blaze was trying to know why Shadow did what he did.
"What the fuck Shadow?"- yelled Blaze. "You think it is just okay to hurt a girl like that?"
"No…"
"but no what? That was very wrong of you to do. And guess what? She's gone forever now. You really need to think about what you did. If you were going to get with DC, you should have thought about it. Not just go and kiss the girl. Shadow, you fucked up.. and that is all I am going to say today. What happens afterwards is on you."- said Blaze trying to make her boyfriend's brother seem guilty, but it worked to no avail. Shadow sat down by DC and ate his lunch like he had no care in the world. On the inside, Shadow felt really bad for what he did. He knew what he did was wrong, he just thought it wasn't at the time. Shadow searched in his pocket and found the ring he meant to give to Amy on their anniversary. Now Shadow was starting to wonder if this was a good idea or not. As much as he liked DC, guilt was starting to take over him.
As for the rest of the week, the gang focused on their school work and spent time with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Shadow and DC were talking even more, but were not going to date yet until Shadow decided on what he wanted to do. He was still feeling bad after the whole situation with Amy but he felt better about it now, and knew everything was for the best. After school on Friday, the gang did their usual weekend things. Sit in the parking lot of Save-Mart and talk about random things, or other people, since there was nothing else left to do since the mall closed at 9.
"So, this week of school just sucked. Cant believe I got ISS for swearing."- said Sonic.
"Well, we tried to tell you the teacher heard you. But, no you didn't listen."- said Knuckles
"Oh, shut up Knuckles. You never listen"-
"So, Amy's really gone.. This sucks. Just thought I would change the subject here."- said Rouge. "I tried to get her to think about coming back, but she was just like no. She said she will try to visit us during Spring Break. It's going to be different without her. I mean we already lost Venus thanks to her parents divorcing but that is against our control. I just wish Shadow would not have ended his friendship with Amy on a bad note. They could have just talked it out, but I think she was too mad to do any talking. Her temper got the best of her, and now two people who were best friends hate each other because they thought they loved each other. Everything's already starting to get bad, and this is only the first week."
"Yeah, I really have nothing to say to Shadow after hurting my best friend." – said Blaze, she was not going to let this go any time soon.
"Blaze, babe. Just give my brother a chance. He don't know what he is doing"- said Silver.
"He knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to hurt Amy."
"Hey, guys."-said DC. "Shadow should be on his way in a few minutes."
"Oh, where did you guys go?"- said Rouge.
"Just to eat and to the movies. That's all"- said DC
"Oh, was it romantic like you guy's first kiss?"- asked Blaze.
"A little. He did ask me to go on another date with him. And then he kind of kissed me again… and I kissed him back"
"Oh, so he likes you then? And you like him?"- asked Rouge
"Yeah, I guess. I still feel bad because I basically hurt Amy in the process.. but I'm happy now."
"Yeah, Amy really isn't even mad at you. She's mad at Shadow"- said Rouge
"Well, I still feel bad."
"Hey, don't worry about it. At least your with somebody that treats you right. Because, you know how your last boyfriend was"- says Bex.
"Yeah, well. I got blessed with a beautiful daughter out of that one.. So is This is all you guys do on a Friday night."-asked DC.
"Yeah, it's all we can do. Well, besides go to Crave.. but that would just be a waste of time."-said Sonic.
"Or… you can go to parties.."- busted in Fiona, who was walking hand-in-hand with Scourge.
"Yeah, Sally Acorn has one going on tonight. None of us got invited though."- said Scourge. "Oh, and Sonic? Mom told me to tell you that you left your room a mess, and you are to clean it up after you get home."
"Um. Okay."- said Sonic
"Well, all I know is, Sonic better clean his woom up before his mommy gwounds him"-mocked Shadow, who just pulled up.
"Shadow, I could kill you right now."
"Go ahead, faker. It won't do you anygood to kill me. Hey Blaze!"- mocked Shadow
"hhmph don't talk to me."- said Blaze
"wow, chill out. You wont be mad at me for long."
"Hey, guys.. we should crash Sal's party."- said Bex.
"Yeah, we could. But it's at the Marriot from what I heard."- said Rouge
"We will dress up as clowns! And together we will show BARNUM AND BAILEY WHO WE REALLY ARE!"- blurted out Silver.
"What are you talking about Silver?"- asked everybody.
"Huh? Nothing. Just a moment."- said Silver, whose face was now flushed with all kinds of embarrasement.
"So, where's Sasha? Him and Lien-Da would know how to crash the party."- asked Fiona.
"Ain't no telling. There probably cuddling somewhere. Eh. Wait, hey guys just got a text from our manager."- said Rouge.
[Billy (555)938-2392]
Billy: You know you guys are supposed to be at Makeshift right now? Right?
Billy: Hello?
Billy: You guys, have 30 minutes to get here. This show is important.
"Shit!"- exclaimed Rouge. "We gotta be at Makeshift in 30 minutes, and Sasha is nowhere to be found.. Dammit. Lemme call him."
*ring**ring**ring**ring**ring* - "hello?"-said Sasha.
"Makeshift, 30 minutes.. you think you can do that?"- said Rouge
"Yeah, lemme get dressed… (who is that Sash?) uhh Rouge…"
"Was that Lien-Da in the background?"
"No…"-said Sasha, trying to get Lien-Da to shut up.
"Either way, get your ass up and go to makeshift. Got it? We cant be late for another show." – said Captain Knuckles after grabbing Rouge's phone.
While Knuckles, Sonic, Bex, and Rouge were riding around. They were trying to get there fill-in guitar player to meet them at Makeshift to no luck.
"We need another guitarist. I cant do all the work tonight."- said Rouge
"DC…. She can play."-said Bex
"What's her past experience?"-said Knuckles.
"Former lead guitarist of Black Veil Foxes… "said Bex in a tone. She had forgot to mention to the gang that DC could play guitar.
"Why are you just now telling us about this?!"- exclaimed Sonic.
"I don't know. But she can play. She knows all of our songs."- said Bex
"Let's just focus on getting to the show and playing!"-said Knuckles as they finally arrived at Makeshift with 10 minutes left to spare.
"you guys finally made it."- said Billy, the band's tour manager.
"Yeah, we have a fill-in tonight."- said Rouge.
"Who would that be?"
"DC formerly of Black Veil Foxes"- said Bex
"How in the hell did you guys land her? She's a guitar god."
"Ask Bex. She doesn't tell us things."- said Knuckles.
Backstage, while Shadow and DC are waiting. DC gets approached by a man that asks her if she could fill-in for lead guitar tonight.
"Yeah, sure."
"Follow me." And with that DC gets led to the are between the stage and the back.
"You made it! We desperately needed you!"-said Knuckles.
"Alright, everyone ready? On the count of 3, we say hell yeah.. Okay.. 1….. 2…..3 …"
"HELL YEAH!"
The band starts to walk on stage and they get in their respective positions. Knuckles grabs the mic and screams to try to wake up the crowd.
"We are the band Till This World Collapses.. and tonight. Green Hill… we are going to break shit. This song we are about to play is off our debut album.. It is called "Fears" and tonight we have a very special guest playing lead guitar.. who remembers the band Black Veil Foxes.. the old days.. A lot of you.. Well.. do you remember the girl guitarist.. she is here and she is going to play with us tonight! Do you guys like that? Alright, this is Fears."
"Fears come to my attention
Stared in the face of untamed aggression
I saw life flashing forward
Holding back the strength left inside of me
Returned in fright
I keep falling in a darker daze till I'm crawling
This is my own betrayal in it's finest"
"Sing the chorus with us!"- yelled Knuckles.
"What would make me think
That there is nothing left for me
What was my mistake, I have forced myself to breathe"
"What would make me think
That there is nothing left for me
What was my mistake, I have forced myself to breathe"
Breaking me apart
I swore I'd never fall this short
Holding back, I can't believe myself
I won't be held captive
If you can't hold your own tongue…
"When I say Move.. you move. Got it?"
"MOVE!"
"You're the reason there's filth on this earth"
"Give it up for DC.. she is doing great so far"
"I will rip out and slaughter all fear I have manifesting in me"
"What would make me think
That there is nothing left for me
What was my mistake
I have forced myself to breathe."
"What would make me think
That there is nothing left for me
What was my mistake, I have forced myself to breathe"
"Whew, we only get to play 3 songs for you tonight but they are good ones. This next song is called.. Starting Over"
"It will be alright!"
"Starting over
It will kill me
Bring me back to times we had"
"It's far too late
And I cannot wait any longer
And it's killing me"
"It's been one dark year
And you grow older, older, older
And I hope I get closer,
Wiser,
And stronger,"
"But I'll see you soon
One day you will find
You were always on my mind
And I think of you
I'll cross a burning bridge
And I'll always be with you"
"It will be alright
The pieces come together
And they form a perfect picture
I'll win this fight
I'll cross the seven seas
And you'll always be with me"
"Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright"
"Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright
Alright"
"In my dreams
I see her face
She looks at me
(She looks at me)
That's as close as they will let me be
Just a memory
It will turn real
Eventually
I don't care what they do
Cause nothing can stop me"
"Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright"
"Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright"
"Starting over
It will kill me
Bring me back to times we had"
"And.. solo!"- Knuckles yells.
DC begins to give an incredible solo that Rouge could never even top. While she is doing this, you see Shadow in the crowd smiling and cheering her on.
"Alright, you guys just went fucking crazy. We might have us a new lead guitarist. If she can make yall go crazy, that's a good thing. Alright this last song is called… The Sinner."
"Digging A Hole That I Can't Get Out Of
Deeper And Deeper
Below The Surface
To Find That There's Nothing There
Where Do I Go From Here?
Give Me Something That I Can Feel!
Back And Forth Here We Go Again
What Will It Take To Keep It Together?"
"What Will It Take To Keep It Together?
What Will It Take?
What Will It Take?
What Will It Take To Keep It Together?
I've Never Felt So Empty"
"Keep Me Close (2x)
Keep My Head Above Water
I Need To hear Your Voice
I Can't Do This On My Own"
"Beneath The Sun I am Rotting
Just Like The Ones That Came Before Me
I Cannot Deny My Own Walk Has Become A Crawl
I've Never Felt So
I've Never Felt So Lost"
"I Know
I Could Never Run Far Enough
To Escape Your Love
(To Escape Your Love)
So Why Do I Keep Running?"
"Now The Chaos Is All Around Me!
Show Me The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
I Need You To Save Me From Myself
Give Me Something I Can Feel! "
"Keep Me Close (2x)
Keep My Head Above Water
I Need To hear Your Voice
I Can't Do This On My Own

I Want To Feel You Here With Me

"Take All My Guilt
Take All My Pride

(I Can't Do This On My Own)"
"Keep Me Close (2x)
(Keep My Head Above Water)
I Can't Do This On My Own"
"Thank you guys for a AMAZING show.! We really appreciate it. As soon as school is done for us, we will be back in the studio recording some new tracks. And thanks for welcoming DC into the band!"
"Are you guys serious? I'm in the band now?"- said DC
"Yeah, if you can play like that.. then yeah. You are positively in. Welcome to Till This World Collapses, DC."-said Knuckles.
-Backstage
"DC! That was a great show! You killed it"- said Shadow pulling DC into a tight hug.
"Thanks, Shad!" and as soon as everyone is leaving she pulls Shadow even closer to her.
"Shadow.. I know we have not really known each other long.. but you know what—" and with that DC pulls Shadow and lips and tongues intertwine. "I kissed you first this time."
Shadow, awestruck as to what just happened, kisses her back. It seems like there may be a new relationship forming. Tune in next week to find out
Okay, I do want to point out things.. Stop the hate. Just because I have a total of like 6 oc's now does not mean I am shoving it in your face. I just feel like they would fit better in the story and make it diverse. I'm working on a cannon story. This one is just for fun. Nothing really special.
But anyways, song credits are
"Fears" by Legacy
"Starting Over" by Famous Last Words
and last but not least..
"The Sinner" by Memphis May Fire.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
