Sonic and I walked side by side in the school as we did everyday. The only difference today was that we weren't laughing, smiling or even talking. We didn't even look at each other.

Yesterday, when we kissed, it was great, I'll admit that. Afterwards, though, it was awkward. Sonic changed the subject, but things were still awkward. We sort of just stopped talking. I've been drowning in my thoughts since he kissed me.

Did he actually like me? Was that just a pick me up kiss? Was he confused? Maybe it was just in the heat of the moment?

I sighed not knowing what to think.

Sonic looked at me; his way of asking if I was okay, without needing to talk to me.

I smiled, signalizing that I was alright.

I opened my locker, exchanging the books I'd need later, for the ones I needed now. Sonic was casually leaning against the locker beside mine. I closed and locked mine, but he didn't move. I turned to see what he was looking at, noticing Litsa and Scourge were standing just down the hall. They didn't seem normal, either.

Without a second thought, I ran over to Litsa. I needed help. If there was anyone else who could help me deal with Sonic, it was Litsa.

- Litsa's POV-

"Hi! Can we talk for a minute?" a voice asked, from behind me.

I turned around to see Amy. I smiled, "sure." I followed her into an area of the hallway where no one stood.

"First off," she began, "how are things with you and Scourge?" she smiled.

"Good," I said frowning.

Amy raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing my horrible lie.

"Okay, it's a little awkward right now, he's acting strange, but it's nothing really."

"Same with Sonic and I," she sighed.

"You two are together?" I asked. I wasn't sure where they stood anymore. One second they're best friends, then they're kissing, then they're friends... They couldn't be anymore confusing.

"Um..." she blushed, looking down. "Well... he kissed me yesterday."

"That's great! Congratulations!"

"That's not a good thing!"

"I'm sorry... what's wrong?" They were so oblivious to they're love for each other. That kiss was the best thing for them.

She sighed, "well... it's just awkward. When I found him, he was breaking trees. Then he was crying into my shoulder, then we kissed. I don't know if he was confused, he actually has feelings for me, or if he just needed it," she shrugged. "I really don't know."

I didn't know what to say... I didn't think Sonic would be one to kiss someone because he needed it... but then again, I didn't think he'd kiss Amy while we were dating. "I don't know what to tell you. I mean, you could try to talk to him about it. I'm sure you guys will work it out for the better, and if you want my honest opinion..." I trailed off, waiting to see if Amy did or not.

She nodded.

"I think you guys kissing was the best thing for you both," I smiled as I slowly backed away, not wanting her to get upset or anything. I made my way back to Scourge, thinking about using my own advice. I'd have to talk to him...

- Amy's POV -

How was Sonic kissing me the best thing for us? What did that even mean? I watched as Litsa retreated back to Scourge.

I looked back to the other side of the hallway, at Sonic, who hadn't moved an inch.

Suddenly, the night Sonic and I had almost kissed when I found out Scourge tried to kiss Litsa popped into my head.

No matter what awkward and uncomfortable thing that happened between us, it never had any effect for long. Sonic and I would always find a way to get things back to normal.

Normal... Maybe we grew out of normal... Maybe it was time to mix things up a little. Maybe it was time to give things a little spice.

I slowly walked back over to Sonic, biting my lip.

When I was only a few feet away from him, I ran up to him, and crashed my lips onto his. As if he were expecting it, he kissed me back, wrapping his arms around me.

- Litsa's POV-

I smiled as I watched Amy jump into Sonic's arms and kiss him. It was sweet. They had the perfect love story.

Scourge and I on the other hand... well, that was a work in progress.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, as we headed to our class.

"What do you mean?"

"You've been acting on edge since we got back from our date last night."

"I... Sorry," he let out a small smile.

I sighed, letting go of his hand as I stopped walking. "Scourge, what aren't you telling me? I know something's wrong. You can tell me anything."

"I... Not here. Not now.

X

I laid in bed, not able to sleep. I couldn't believe what Scourge told me. It made sense, but I couldn't see it happening. Part of me knew it was true, another part knew it couldn't be.

I sighed.

What would I tell my mom? I can see it now...

"Mom?" I would ask, carefully, wanting her attention.

"Yes, Litsa?" she'd reply, not suspecting anything.

"I, um. I had something I need to tell you."

She would take a break from cleaning, and sit down, ready to listen. "What is it?"

I would sit down beside her, and hesitate, not sure how to make it sound like it's not that big of a deal. "I'm in love," I began, not able to finish my sentence.

"With that charming green hedgehog?"

I would sigh, but I'd know that I had to tell her, so I'd suck it up and try again. "I'm in love with..."

"With?" she would push.

"A criminal," I would choke out, afraid of her reaction.

... I can't even imagine what her reaction would be. She would be mad, worried, probably nauseous, she'd be so many things... I don't think the things she'd be even have names

I sighed, again. Why did Scourge have to rob that bank?

A/N: Aloha, from Hawaii!

LOL no, I wish. I'm still in my country, surrounded in snow. Hahaha.

Anyways, sorry for not updating in.. What, ten years? I've been a tad bit obsessed with my newest story - Dear Death Diary. {:

It's sorta funny... I turned on my computer thinking "Okay, I have to write I'll Be There For You," then I go and start writing the other story.

Anyways, this is only 1k words.. But better than nothing, right? Teehee

Review?{:
