Chapter 7

(Sonics' P.O.V)

I haven't laughed so hard in years Mrs. Rose's reaction to seeing my speed was priceless. Her jaw dropped to the ground and she was frozen for like a minute. She spent the next hour asking me all the typical questions about my speed like how I don't die running that fast. Really I don't care I can run super fast and I don't want to know how it works.

Today was a long day I needed to get some sleep, but of course I couldn't. I kept tossing and turning, trying every position on the bed to get comfortable but nothing worked. It was horrible. Eventually I just gave up and lied in bed thinking about that door I really wanted to see what was inside but, I couldn't just break down the door. I had to find the key and… alright stop thinking about this. I have to get my mind of that door and I know one thing that can do that... I just need no one else to hear it.

(Amy's P.O.V)

Sonic's super speed I still thought about it, and it I still can't believe it. Wait as sec if Sonic could run super fast why did he make me take the bus? He could have just carried me, no he wouldn't do that. Why did I even think about that, why did I care? Anyway I need to get some sleep… wait where is my nightgown? Right, it's in the laundry room.

I was walking down to the laundry room when I heard something, and by the sounds of it was from Sonic's room. What was that? It sounded like music. Why wouldn't he just use his headphones? The strangest thing was it was just a guitar, nothing else.

Well it sounded a lot different than what I expected Sonic's music to sound like. It was soft and quiet, not loud at all it was nice. Suddenly there was a note that sounded of and I heard a huff of anger, was Sonic playing the guitar?

I had to know what he was doing so I knocked on his door, when I did I heard another of sounding note. I heard some shuffling around and it took a while for him to answer the door. When he opened the door, he looked confused and a little frustrated.

"Oh hey Amy what's up?"

"Just came down to get some clothes and I heard music from your room"

"So?"

"Were you playing a guitar?"

"NO"

"Ok it just wired that you weren't using headphones I heard some of notes and it was just a guitar" I could see his eye twitch a slight bit at the mention of 'of notes'.

"I was just listening… to a friend of mine play" oh he is so lying

"Ok whatever you say"

"What you don't believe me?" Why was he getting so defensive over playing the guitar?

"As a matter of fact I don't"

"Fine don't believe me"

"Maybe if you show me your 'friend' playing the guitar I would" I said with a smirk I knew I won.

He seemed to be arguing with himself grumbling some indisputable words at me, before he hung his head down it what looked like defeat.

"Yah it was me" He said sounding ashamed

"What's so bad about that?"

"It's just, I'm… not that good"

"Oh come on, besides a few of notes it sounded great" His head lifted up with glee.

"Really you thought it was good? He said amazed

"It truly was in fact I would like to hear more" his smile disappeared

"Well it getting late and…

"Nonsense it's only 10:22 we still got plenty of time"

He sighed and let me inside the room we both sat on his bed. I watched him pull his guitar from under the bed, and I looked expensive. From what I remember from my mom his family wasn't rich how did he afford that guitar? I saw him grow more and more nervous as he was about to start to play. He took a deep breath before he started and it sounded bad no were near as good as he was one I first heard it. I could see the anger brewing on his face as he continued to screw up. He stopped and looked down in shame.

"I told you I wasn't that good" He sighed sounding depressed

"Sonic I not going to lie to you that was not good but, you seem to just be nervous when I wasn't here you sounded almost perfect"

"You don't have to patronize me"

"I MEANT that Sonic"

"No you didn't"

"Sonic you listen to me you were amazing!" I didn't mean to get so loud but it get threw his head.

"If you say so" Man he had no confidence right now he usually never seemed unsure of his abilities why with this?

"Sonic you just need to stop thinking about me being here with you"

"That's not the problem! I try so hard to play this stupid thing but I never get it right!" I started slide a bit away from him.

"Then why do you have it?"

"My grandfather gave it to me when I was 8 cause, back then I wanted to be a rock star. I just want to learn how learn how to play it before he dies, I NEED to play it for him" I could see him tearing up a little.

"Maybe you just…"

"Whatever you're going to say I've tried and it didn't work!" He yelled strait into my face, let's just say I was more than terrified. He soon realized what he did, and he quickly moved away from me. He looked so terrified, of himself?

When it suddenly hit me, Sally told me when he was younger he got angry easily and she kept him calm by doing… something what was it.

We sat in silence for about a minute I let Sonic calm himself down. It looked like he was getting back to normal his breathing was slowing down when I heard him mumble something.

"Pardon?" I asked

"I'm sorry Amy for freaking out like that on you. I know you meant well" he looked and sounded so ashamed of himself.

"It's alright"

"You didn't deserve to be attacked like" he still looked all worked up got to remember how to… wait that's it.

"Sonic it's alright" I poked his nose he looked at me confused. Then I started scratching his chin. He quickly grabbed my hand to stop me.

"H-how did Y-you know about that?"

"Sally told me"

"I should have guessed"

"Sonic can I tell you something?"

"Sure"

"I kinda know what you're going threw"

"How?"

"When I was younger and first started singing…"

"Wait you sing?" Wait he didn't hear me in the shower this morning whatever.

"Yah I do. Anyway I was good until I sang in the competitions, then my father told me something that changed everything"

"What was it?" Sonic seemed so interested

"He told me, to not think about why I sing or who I sing for just do it"

"Really… that's all it took"

"Yup after that I only thought about the lyrics and not the reason or the people"

"Maybe that could help"

"Good to hear, see yah tomorrow" I waved him goodbye

"Wait" What did he have to say? I turned around and he still looked nervous. "Thanks for the advice, and I really sorry for how I acted"

"You're welcome, and it really alright this is really important to you"

I ran over to him and gave him a reassuring hug; I felt his body jolt at my touch. I could feel his heartbeat getting faster his chest was so soft and comfortable. I could stay like this all… alright I have got to stop before he this gets awkward.

When I let go of him he had a small adorable blush on his face, and let out a nervous chuckle. To late it's already awkward. I let out my own nervous chuckle before waving him goodbye, he did the same and I left his room. Boy did that get awkward well at least I learned more about him and… oh NO my mom's standing right outside the door.

Thanks for reading I know kinda a weird chapter but tell what you think, or don't. I just hope you enjoyed and have a good day.
