Chapter 14: My Girl

X

Amy knew it was killing him.

What she didn't understand was why it killed him. Amy knew he was afraid of love because of his past love. But she was a completely different person.

She wasn't Fiona.

Amy would never be Fiona.

"Then why? Why would you do something as stupid as this?" Amy cried out, her voice cracking slightly. Tears prickled the corner of her eyes.

"Ames, I'm so-

"You're sorry, yeah you're sorry. Sonic, you broke some ribs for crying out loud!" She whisper yelled at him, trying not to cause a scene for the nurses to listen into.

Sonic nodded, his eyes not meeting hers. "I was stupid and I wasn't thinking. What more do you want?"

Amy sighed with exasperation. "The reason why you did it."

His mouth closed immediately.

"Sonic, Manic already told me what happened. And I'm sorry. Love sucks sometimes, but it can also be exhilarating and wonderful and beautiful..." Amy felt herself droning on and on about love, until she forcefully closed her jaw. Her pink cheeks were tinted bright red.

She looked over at Sonic, who had still not looked at her.

"So you're not even going to say anything? Or look at me?" She felt her voice becoming higher.

Silence.

The pink hedgehog bit her quivering lip before standing up from the chair. "If you can't figure it out Sonic...that I'm different and not like her...than why do we even bother," She whispered, sadness seeping from her voice as she left the room.

Sonic cursed under his breath. Throwing his legs to the side, he painfully forced himself to stand up from the bed as he sped out of the room, ignoring the throbbing pain in his left arm. Waiting by the elevator, he saw his crying girlfriend tapping her foot impatiently. Running over to her, he gently pressed her against the elevator. Amy's eyes lit up in surprise as her cheeks became bright red from the heat between their bodies.

Sonic winced slightly. "I imagined this moment cooler. With me not injured." Amy's lips curved into a tiny smile and disappeared as soon as it appeared.

"Amy Rose, you drive me crazy. One minute, you're incredibly funny and sexy then sweet and smart. You keep me on my feet and I like that. And you're right. You're not like her at all. Amy, you are by far the most amazing person I have ever met in my entire life. I'm not my douche baggy self around you and I like that. You're the reason why I'm good...why I'm myself. Ames, I love you."

Her emerald eyes brimmed with tears as she wiped them away quickly. Wrapping her arms around Sonic, she kissed his lips gently and buried her face into his neck. Pulling together his strength, Sonic pulled her in closer, holding her tightly. He enjoyed being pressed against her, taking her all in.

"I love you too, Sonic the hedgehog." She whispered in his ear, making him shiver. Pulling away, she gazed lovingly into his eyes with a tiny smile before running a hand through his quills.

"We should get you back to your bed, champ. You're still injured." She cracked a smile, before grabbing his hand. He chuckled slightly, letting his girlfriend lead him back to his room.

Tucking him into the white sheets, Amy kissed Sonic's forehead softly before giving a tiny wave and walking out the door. Sonic watched the pink hedgehog's retreating figure. Sighing, he ran a hand through his quills, ruffling them a bit.

A goofy grin plastered on his face and his eyes sparkled with animation. He didn't even notice his sister and brother running into the room.

"SONIC!" Sonic cried out, running over to give him a huge squeeze. Sonic was pulled out of his trance as he let out a sharp cry of pain. Sonia pulled away quickly as if she had burned herself.

"Ouch, Sonia. Easy there," Sonic said, rubbing his arm.

Manic was now standing behind Sonia with a stern look on his face. "What did you do little bro?"

Sonia sighed with annoyance. "Not now, Manic. Can't you see our little brother is hurt?" She said before turning her attention to Sonic. "Any booboos I need to kiss? I'll make you some cookies!"

Sonic shot her a strange look before raising an eyebrow. "No thanks. Ames came by already with some cookies."

The goofy smile crept onto Sonic's face again. Sonia crossed her arms over her chest. "I see your girlfriend beat me to it. Guess she kissed you all over."

Manic elbowed her as she looked over at her little brother in surprise, wondering why Sonic was not yelling at her to stop embarrassing her. Sonia's amethyst eyes lit up with joy as Manic stared at him in astonishment.

"Aw no." Manic whined, his hand slapping his forehead while Sonia giggled and squealed. She reached for Sonic's hands and started clapping with them.

"You're in love!" She sung to him in lyric form. Sonic hot her a look before pulling his hands away.

"Yeah I am. I love that girl."

Manic groaned. "Are you sure? You're probably just infatuated with her...like with that Emily girl."

Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Who?" Manic cursed under his breath.

Sonia smirked at Manic, her eyes lighting up with triumph. "I think you owe me some money, Manic the hedgehog."

Manic grumbled as he took out his wallet, pulling out some bills and handing it to Sonia. Sonia squealed while counting the money.

"This will give me a shopping spree I deserve," Sonia commented to herself.

Trying to steer the conservation away from his defeat, Manic asked Sonic, "What the hell did you do? Ribs broken, left arm broken, and your forehead looks like someone poured dried up red paint on it."

Sonia's smiled disappeared. "Sonic, what the hell did you do?"

Sonic sighed. "Some guys beat me up when I was around Linden."

"Why the fuck were you in Linden?" Sonia yelled at him.

Sonic laughed nervously. "Just cruising. Thinking out my feelings."

Sonia's anger softened. "Amy?"

Sonic nodded while his sister placed a hand protectively on his shoulder. "She won't sleep with you?"

Sonic's cheeks turned bright red as he swatted her hand away. "No, that's not what I meant!"

"Kidding. I guess we can let this slide," Sonia said, looking over at Manic. Manic shook his head in disbelief.

"Not fair. I was grounded for months when I broke my leg," Manic pointed out.

Sonia glared at him sternly. "You tried to crowd surf when you were drunk."

"So?" Manic asked with a scoff.

"Sorry to bring the attention back to me and all, but when can I leave this hell hole?" Sonic asked, pushing aside his covers.

"Gotta get your arm in a sling and then you can leave Doctor said your ribs are healing effectively."

Sonic nodded. "I think I'll go for a run then." He winced as he pulled himself out of bed.

Sonia's eyes lit up with anger. "I do not think so, Sonic the he-

He was gone in the blink of an eye.

Amy hurriedly walked into the shop, throwing the apron over her head. Tying it behind her back, she jumped over the smoothie bar counter. Smoothing her hair, she placed the traditional cap on her head.

"Feeling better?"

"Oh hey," Amy replied, nervously.

Jet the Hawk came up behind her and hugged the stiffened Amy. "Is something wrong?"

Amy pushed him away. "Nope, not at all."

Amy found discomfort in Jet ever since the last time she saw him. She had found out from Sonic that Jet had lied and said she was making out with him...and worse. And Amy didn't appreciate being lied to.

Amy reached for the apple juice and began making the customer's smoothie. "Pinkie, what's wrong?"

"Do you mind not calling me that anymore, Jet," She stated rather than asked. Pressing the button, she watched as the strawberries and the bananas started meshing together.

"What's wrong, Amy?" He asked in all seriousness, his hand gripped her shoulder tightly. Amy shrugged it off and walked over to the customer with a smile.

"Thank you for coming to Java Smoothie!"

"Ames?"

Amy's fists clenched. "Don't call me that, Jet," She yelled, turning to look at him. Amy knew people were watching so she lowered her voice slightly. "You're not my boyfriend and you're certainly not my friend so cut the shit," Her voice rang with anger.

Jet's eyes widened in shock as he took a few steps back, astonished by the pink hedgehog's words. "What did I do?"

"You lied to me! Homeless shelter? What bullshit, you compulsive liar! Sonic told me what you said. You are a disgusting excuse for an animal!" She whisper yelled, pointing her finger into his chest.

Jet scoffed, swatting at her finger. "And you believe him?"

She gave him an incredulous stare. "I trust my boyfriend," Amy replied.

Jet laughed bitterly. "See, this is where all of the girls go wrong. Do you not know his past? Dated and dumped every girl in the school."

"I seem to recall you picked up his scraps," Amy spat at him before turning away from the green bird. She felt someone shove her against the wall.

"I don't pick up anyone's scraps, you little bitch!" Jet pressed her against the wall, whispering huskily in her ear. His breath held traces of whiskey and toothpaste. Gross.

Amy tried to squirm her way out of his grip, letting a cry out. Customers started to turn their attention to them, gasping with shock.

"I'm only going to ask you one time. Get your fucking hands off of my girlfriend," A cold and hardened voice spoke boldly.

"Sonic," Amy choked out when Jet let his grip loosen.

Jet laughed darkly. "Yeah, hedgehog? You're going to fight me? You don't even have your full strength."

Sonic clenched his fists. "If I could, I would beat the living shit out of you. Luckily, I have friends who can assist me."

Jet paled slightly when he saw Shadow, Knuckles and Silver stand up from their table. They walked over to the counter, their muscles gleaming. Glaring at Jet, Knuckles smirked and stretched out his arms before cracking his knuckles.

"I think you have something you want to say to my girlfriend," Sonic stated coldly, who was now behind the counter, pulling Amy away from the wall and Jet. Amy cuddled into Sonic's fur, breathing in his scent. She smiled softly against him.

"Sorry Amy. Won't happen again."

Hurried footsteps were coming towards them. Amy and Jet's boss appeared behind the counter. "The hell it won't happen again. Customers are complaining about your disturbing actions, Mr. Hawk. You're fired!"

Jet looked over at him in disbelief before angrily throwing his apron and hat on the ground. Spreading his wings, he flew over the counter and out the door with Knuckles, Silver, and Shadow following him.

"You coming, Sonic?" Silver asked as Shadow and Knuckles took off after Jet.

"I'll catch up, Silv," Sonic replied, waving his off. Silver shrugged and sped out of the shop.

"Miss Rose, get back to work," The boss demanded grumpily, walking back into his office.

"Yes sir," She said, walking over to the cash register. Sonic jumped back over the counter and stood in front of the cash register with a smile. "Strawberry smoothie please."

"Please? Guess I can't refuse now," Amy joked with a grin. Reaching for the ingredients, she threw them into a blender and waited for it to finish. Once completed, she handed the smoothie to Sonic.

"Sweet. I think my girlfriend will like this," Sonic said smoothly, his eyes sparkled with trouble.

Amy giggled. "I think she will. Anything from her sweet boyfriend." She grabbed the smoothie out of Sonic's hand and started drinking out the straw.

"What do you think my girlfriend will give me in exchange for that smoothie?"

"I think you'll just have to find out on her break," Amy answered coyly.

Sonic leaned into the counter, placing his lips by her ear. "And when will that be?"

Amy shrugged. "Now, I guess," before turning to her co worker, "Porky, cover for me."

Jumping over the counter, she landed on her feet off balanced. Sonic helped steady her before grabbing her hand and leading her out of the shop. Sonic pulled her into the alley next door, pressing her up against the wall. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself tighter into him.

Lovingly, she caressed his cheek before urgently placing her lips on his. Sonic sucked on her bottom lip and then top, making Amy moan slightly. She grinded her hips into his, making Sonic groan in her mouth. Amy's hand wrapped around his quills, pulling on them tightly. Sonic rubbed her back as their tongues continued to mesh and clash. Moving her hands underneath his shirt, Amy rubbed circles into Sonic's chest, tracing every muscle while she wrapped her feet around Sonic's waist. Sonic cupped her butt, pushing her higher onto his weakened body before sliding his hands underneath Amy's shirt. He traced her curves and felt his hands moving higher and higher...

Sonic stopped kissing Amy and pulled away. Pressing himself against the wall, Sonic closed his eyes and cursed under his breath. He wanted her, wanted her so much...but he couldn't take advantage of her. She was special...deserved better.

"Why did you stop?" Amy questioned softly, running her hands through his quills.

Although Sonic didn't open his eyes, he smiled. "Trying to control myself...take it slow."

Amy laughed slightly. "What am I going to do with you?" Sonic opened his eyes and grinned at her, pulling her closer into him. Amy buried her head in the crook of his neck.

Amy closed the door behind her, pressing herself against it. She bit her lip, unable to keep the smile off of her face. Walking into her tiny kitchen, she saw her mom slumped against the table. Panic building up inside of her, Amy rushed over to her mom, shouting her name.

"Honey, it's okay. I'm just tired, that's all," Miss Rose tried to assure her daughter, sitting straight in her chair.

Amy sat down in the other creaky chair with a worried look on her face. "Mom, is there something wrong?" Amy noticed the wrinkled lines on her mother's forehead.

Amy's mom sighed, running a hand through her dark red hair. Her emerald eyes brimmed with tears. Amy watched as her mom started shaking uncontrollably. She scooted her chair closer to her mom's, hugging her frail mother. Amy looked down at the paper her mother was gripping before sliding it out of her mom's hands. Looking at the paper, Amy's lip started to quiver.

"Again?" She spoke softly, putting down the paper that read Eviction. "I thought you said we had enough money. Mom, you work three jobs and I work too, so maybe we can come up with the rent..."

Amy was interrupted by sobs escaping from her mother's lips. "I don't have a job anymore!" She whaled. Amy felt herself paling.

"But everyday you went to work...Mom, where did you go?" Amy questioned her sobbing mother, hoping it wasn't what she thought.

Wiping her eyes, Miss Rose cleared her throat. "There is one solution. Chuck. He's the nicest one...maybe he'll invite us into his home until I can get another job."

Amy closed her eyes, tears leaking out. She whispered softly, "You didn't...Mom?"

"It was the only way. They would pay me for my services and-

"Services? They payed you for your body!" Amy yelled at her mom before her hands ripped at her own pink quills.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, you just seemed so happy," Her mom choked out, sobbing.

Amy looked over at her mother sympathetically, before saying, "I know you thought that was best, but Mom...it's wrong."

Her mom nodded through her sobs and tears. Amy rubbed at her red, swollen eyes. "Where can we find this Chuck guy?"

Her mother stopped to look at her in surprise before jumping into Amy's arms. Amy rubbed her back soothingly, trying to lend her strength to her mother.

Amy smiled over at Cream, who was sitting in the driver's seat, before getting out of her car. She opened the door for her mother who was in the back. Amy went to the trunk of the car and took out all of the suitcases, handing two to Cream and then two to her mother. She then grabbed two of them, silently thanking God for Chuck agreeing to this plan.

Amy knew Cream was looking at her, but if she looked back, she was afraid she was start crying again.

"Cream, open up please!" Amy crazily knocked on her best friend's door. A surprised Cream opened the door, stepping aside to allow Amy in. Amy ran at her friend, squeezing her tightly before she lost complete control. She sobbed into her best friend's shoulder.

Cream patted her, using soothing words to calm her down. As soon as Amy stopped sobbing and was just sniffling, Cream asked, "What's going on?"

"My mom lost her jobs a while ago and she's been...having sex with men for money."

Cream looked taken back before leading Amy over to her couch. "I'm so sorry, Amy."

"We're getting kicked out of our house again."

Her eyes widening, Cream looked over at Amy with sympathy. "I can get my mom to let you guys stay here. I mean the rooms will be tight, but we can manage."

Amy shook her head, sniffling slightly. "I need you to drive us somewhere."

"Where?" Cream asked her in surprise.

"This address," Amy said, handing her a slip of paper before saying, "We're staying here with this guy my mom spent time with. Apparently, he's nice." Amy spat.

Cream nodded. "I'll pull the car around and you guys can jump in. I'll still ask my mom, Amy, okay?"

Amy nodded. "That would be amazing." Cream smiled slightly, hugging her best friend before pulling away. She stood up from the couch and walked over to grab the car keys.

"And Cream?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't tell Sonic."

She didn't want him to know about their predicament. Amy wanted Sonic to be normal around her, not feel sympathetic for her. She didn't want to be the little poor girl that Sonic is going out with because he feels sorry for her.

Amy walked up to the house, staring at it in awe. The mansion was huge and pure white. The windows were stained and the rooftop was flat. Amy wondered if you could walk on the roof.

Amy watched as her mother rang the doorbell before shuffling from one foot to another. She didn't know what to expect. Cream placed a hand on her shoulder, smiling softly at her. Amy wished she could return the smile, but moving her lips felt harder than she thought.

Amy felt goosebumps prickle her skin when she heard screaming coming from inside. The door opened abruptly and a blue hedgehog stood in the door.

"Amy?"

"Sonic?" She asked in surprise, dropping the suitcase to run into his arms. In her mind, she was swearing, reminding herself that she didn't want to tell Sonic.

"Hello, Chuck."

"Mira."

The frail old hedgehog kissed Ms. Rose's knuckles. She blushed slightly, handing him her suitcases. A few men dressed in black grabbed the suitcases, bringing them inside. Cream's eyes widened as Chuck escorted all of them into the house. Amy pulled away from Sonic, wiping her tears. Chuck approached her, but Sonic jumped in front of them.

"What's going on?" Sonic asked Chuck, angrily.

"Nephew, calm yourself. These are my guests." Chuck said, pushing him aside to shake Amy's hand. Amy looked at Chuck then at an angered Sonic.

"Wait a minute. Chuck is Sonic's uncle?" Amy asked in disbelief.

"Unfortunately." Sonic stated, crossing his hands over his chest.

Chuck glared at Sonic. "And his sister has put Sonic in my care until he behaves better."

Sonic rolled his eyes before turning to look at Amy. "What are you doing here?" Amy looked at the ground in shame, unable to find the rights words.

"Her mother and her were kicked out of their house," Cream said softly, sending 'I'm sorry' glances over to Amy. Sonic looked at Cream in disbelief and then at Amy. He walked over to her, holding her closer to him. Sonic kissed her forehead as Amy gripped onto him tightly.

It just wasn't fair. Amy was pure, good. She didn't deserve this.

"Mira, it seems we have a major problem. Amy is the girlfriend of Sonic?"

"That is correct," Amy's mom answered sternly, watching her daughter cling to Sonic.

Chuck frowned. "Well, this has become complicated." Sonic glared at him maliciously.

"Sonic, until you behave...you're staying with Uncle Chuck." Manic stated.

Sonic's jaw dropped. "Hell no." He looked over at his crying sister.

"We just don't understand what's going on with you," Sonia tearfully said, refusing to look him in the eye. Sonic knew she was lying, but decided to play along.

"I'm fine!" Sonic shouted with exasperation, throwing his hands into the arm. He pushed himself away from the table. Pacing back and forth, he looked at his siblings.

"When was this decided?"

"When you bolted from the hospital," Manic answered, not looking at him. Sonic turned to look at his sister, trying to guilt her into disagreeing with Manic.

"I was dealing with my feelings for Amy, but now everything is okay," He spoke softly to Sonia, who looked up at him as if she wanted to hug him. Against her urges, Sonia looked away and shook her head.

"We think...you need guidance," Sonia stuttered. Another lie.

Sonic shook his head in disbelief. "So you're sending me to Uncle Chuck's? I'd like to remind you he hates me, probably wants to kill me. And he's the devil."

Sonia and Manic didn't look at him or speak another word. Sonic placed his hands on his forehead. He could either run away or he could deal with it. Running away seemed like the better option, but Sonic knew he had to get to the bottom of these lies. Since Manic and Sonia weren't talking, he would just have to talk to that bastard.

"Fine. When do I leave?"

Sonia and Manic looked up at him in surprise.

"Happy to come live with me, nephew?" A voice rang out from the doorway. Sonic tried his hardest not to clench his fists.

OoO

Arriving at his uncle's house, Sonic tried to bolt to the guest room, but his uncle stopped him by calling out his name.

"Sonic?"

"What?" He answered grumpily.

Chuck chuckled bitterly. "I thought that you should know that-

Sonic interrupted him. "You did this, didn't you? Sonia and Manic didn't want to send me here, but you stepped in, didn't you? Threatened to take everything away from them with your status and your money!" He yelled at his uncle.

"Clever boy," Uncle Chuck commended him.

"You fucking bastard! Those are my siblings and you don't threaten them or else you deal with me!" Sonic yelled at him, taking a step towards him unsteadily, his fists clenched.

Before he could pummel his uncle, the doorbell rang, echoing throughout the large mansion. Sonic looked once at his uncle before sprinting to the door. Opening it, his jaw dropped in shock. His girlfriend was standing there, holding a suitcase.

As much as Sonic hated his uncle for being such a jack ass to his family, he didn't mind this situation one bit. Living down the hall from his girlfriend wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Grinning, he saluted an angry Chuck, before leading Cream and Amy up the windy staircase.

This would be fun.

Stepping out of the car, she placed the Gucci shades over her crystal blue eyes. Smirking, she blew a kiss to the taxi driver who winked at her. Shutting the door, she fixed her bra strap with a smirk. The fox swished her tail back and forth as she rolled her suitcase to the door. Ringing the doorbell, the gorgeous fox ruffled her hair slightly.

The door opened, revealing a timid fox who looked at her in surprise.

"Tails," She said with a smirk, walking through the door.

Tails shut the door and followed her as she walked into the guest room. "What are you doing here?" He asked her.

She smirked at him, taking off her sunglasses. Her mischievous blue eyes sparkled, dancing with amusement.

"I'm here to claim something," She said, sprawling herself over the guest bed.

"Yeah? And what would that be, Fiona?" Tails asked his cousin sternly, crossing his arms over his chest.

Fiona looked at him before sitting up, crossing one tan leg over the other. "Sonic."

I never realized how short I made some of these chapters.

Silly me. Hopefully, this one was a bit longer and more exciting.

What will happen now that Sonic and Amy are living together? What's up with Uncle Chuck? And when shall Fiona make her appearance?

Find out. Soon!

Drop me a review!
