Chapter 19: Forget
X
Groaning, Sonic threw his hand up to cover his face from the sunlight that was peaking through the curtains. He yawned as he rolled over lazily, his arms reached for a certain pink hedgehog. His eyes opened abruptly as they searched for Amy. She wasn't in bed. Sonic looked over at the clock and saw that school had already started, but he found that he didn't care.
All he needed was some sleep right now. He would go into school later, to satisfy his girlfriend.
Sonic shook his head with a tiny laugh as he stood up from the bed shakily. Amy would kill him if he didn't go to school, especially after what happened last night. He opened the curtains, allowing the sunshine to stream through. Sonic took in the sunlight, instantly waking him up.
Sonic rubbed his eyes before throwing his jeans on and a black t-shirt. He snagged his leather jacket before taking the stairs two by two. Surprisingly, Sonic found the kitchen was bright and he smelled pancakes. Walking into the kitchen, the blue hedgehog stiffened when he saw Uncle Chuck flipping a pancake. Sonic ignored his Uncle and picked up the note addressed to him that was sitting on the table.
Sonic,
I didn't want to wake you up,hedgehog. Come find me at school, lover boy.
I love you. Don't forget.
Love, Amy
"Sweet note, isn't it?"
Sonic's eyes narrowed as he saw Uncle Chuck walk over and hand him a plate of blueberry pancakes. The blue hedgehog accepted his pancakes with a grunt. He started shoveling the pancake into his mouth, hoping he could leave the room as quickly as possible.
"Sweet girlfriend."
Sonic slammed his fists against the table, creating a loud clamor. "Don't talk about her that way," He stated aggressively, a scowl plastered on his face.
Uncle Chuck put his hands up. "Easy there, tiger. All I'm saying is that she's a keeper...as a friend."
Sonic pushed his plate of pancakes away and crossed his arms over his chest. He leaned back on his chair, closing his eyes. "What are you implying, Chuck?"
"Son, it's just that I don't think its a good idea to have you and Amy sleeping under the same roof when you are going out. Sleeping the in the same house starts things...you, adolescents have wild hormones."
"First all of, never call me son. I'm not your fucking son. My father was twice the man you are. And second, Amy is a pure, sweet person...so don't you dare take that comment further."
Uncle Chuck's eyes narrowed. "If you won't listen to my advice, Sonic, then you give me no choice but to make different sleeping arrangements."
Sonic's eyes opened wildly, anger boiling inside of him. "You want me gone? Old man, I'd be ecstatic to leave this fucking hell hole and go back to Manic's."
Sonic's uncle shook his head with a dark laugh. "Let me phrase this in a way even you could understand. I would kick out the Roses."
Sonic's eyes widened with shock as he leaned forward in his chair. "You would kick them out?" He asked in shock.
His uncle nodded, immediately infuriating Sonic. "You would kick them out of your home when they have nothing? You would be fine with knowing they were living on the streets? What kind of a person are you?"
"I think the better question is how far is my nephew going to push me until I do the unthinkable and kick them to the curb."
Sonic said nothing. As much as he hated his uncle and wanted to beat the living shit out of him, he knew Chuck was serious. One more move, one more stunt pulled by Sonic would result in his girlfriend, the love of his life, living on the streets. He couldn't do that to her...to her mom. They needed a place to stay.
Sighing, Sonic stood up and set his plate in the sink. He was using every bit of self control that he owned not to punch his uncle square in the nose.
"Did I interrupt something?"
Sonic and Uncle Chuck turned to see a tired Ms. Rose standing in the doorway. Sonic shook his head as his uncle walked over to Amy's mom and kissed her straight on the mouth. How could he go over and kiss her like that when two seconds ago he had no problem with telling Sonic that he would kick Ms. Rose to the curb, the woman he supposedly cares for. The blue hedgehog bit his cheek, trying not to throw up with disgust.
Without saying another word to his uncle, Sonic exited the house, slamming the door shut after him.
OoO
Amy rubbed her clammy hands on her tight, dark jeans, scanning the cafeteria for Sonic. He still hadn't showed up to school yet and she was nervous. She hadn't talked to him since last night when the unthinkable happened. Amy wished she could take it back, take back the embarrassment and the shame...start anew...but she couldn't. What was done, was done.
"Amy?"
Amy looked over at Cream and muttered, "Huh? I mean yeah?"
She smiled, but the smile didn't meet her eyes. "Amy, don't take this the wrong way, but we're worried about you."
Amy's eyebrows jumbled together. "Worried? About what?"She asked with curiosity. Cream stared around the table, prompting anyone to speak...other than her. Amy looked around at all the downcast eyes and felt a stab of humiliation and anger.
"You guys can't just bring up that you're worried about me and then not say anything," Amy said edgily, waiting for someone to speak.
"We think Sonic's a bad influence on you."
Amy's eyes widened as they glared at Tikal. "What?" She snapped. Tikal, still not meeting Amy's eyes, played with her salad, tossing and turning the leaves with her plastic fork.
"You haven't been yourself lately. You've been dressing up...differently and you just seem more..." Cosmo struggled for words as she patted Amy's back.
"Bitchy." Rouge added, unaffected by her petty comment. Scowling, Amy shrugged Cosmo's hand off.
"You guys think I've been acting like a bitch," Amy stated rather than asked.
"No, well...I mean..." Cream stuttered, but Amy just shook her head and laughed darkly.
"Tell me what you really think," The pink hedgehog said dryly, mocking their comments.
"Things like that, Amy," Rouge said, her eyes narrowing. Aside from Rouge, everyone else was looking at her with concern.
"We just think...Sonic's a jackass. And he doesn't deserve you," Mina stated soothingly, as if trying to make Amy feel better. If anything, that angered her. Amy's cheeks turned bright red and her hands clenched into fists. She bit her lip extremely hard, creating a tiny gash of blood. Licking at the blood, Amy pushed away her food with a sneer.
Refusing to look at her friends, Amy looked up, searching for her boyfriend. Her eyes lit up in recognition when she saw a familiar blue hedgehog enter the room. She immediately forgot about her anger as she sighed with relief. Looking around at her friends, she crossed her arms over her chest and taunted, "There's my jack ass of a boyfriend now."
Ignoring the pitiful stares from her friends, she scooted out of her seat and stood up. Amy rubbed the invisible lint off of her tight skinny jeans and walked towards her boyfriend that was sitting with Knuckles and Silver. She bit her cheek with excitement and her heart skipped at beat when she saw Sonic laugh at something Knuckles said. Coming right up behind him, Amy put a finger to her lips to make sure Knuckles and Shadow wouldn't ruin her little surprise. Luckily, they played along.
"Has anyone seen Amy today? I've been looking all over for her."
Amy attached her hands over Sonic's eyes as she leaned down towards his ear. "Look no further, hedgehog."
Smiling, she removed her hands from his eyes and sat down next to him, pecking his lips lightly. He returned the smile and threw his arm around her, pulling her body closer to him. "Wanna go somewhere and talk?" He asked her gently. Amy nodded with a smile as Sonic led her out of the room.
Leaning against the lockers, Amy closed her eyes. "Whadya want to talk about?"
"Last night."
Amy grinned wickedly. "The sex?"
"More like...how we didn't have sex." Amy nodded, her smiling fading.
Sonic wrapped his hands around hers. "I just want you to know that...there's no pressure, Ames. Sex or not, I still love you."
Amy smiled weakly. "Thanks."
"Sonic, wait...Sonic...stop."
Sonic pulled his lips away from her neck with a sigh. He pulled away from her entirely. Amy watched him awkwardly look across the room. She played with her thumbs as she pulled the blankets on top of her.
"I'm sorry I'm not ready. It's so stupid, I know," Amy said softly, her voice cracking at the end.
Sonic's thumb lifted up her chin so that he could look at her. "No, it's not. You're not ready. And I'm ready to wait."
Amy smiled, wiping at tear that was about to fall. "You mean that?" Sonic nodded with a grin, kissing her forehead.
"We can still play games though...you can count on that," Sonic said suggestively into her ear, making her giggle. She swatted his arm before curling into his body.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah, Ames?"
"I love you."
"Me too."
"I meant every word I said, Amy," Sonic said in all seriousness, as he cupped her face. Amy leaned forward and kissed his lips.
"I know. I mean...I want to...I really want to, but I'm..." She felt that she was at loss for words.
Sonic nodded with understanding, kissing her forehead. He leaned down and pressed his face against hers. "No rush. Okay?"
Amy nodded, biting her lip to keep from smiling, but found she could not.
OoO
"Can I have a word with you?"
Amy turned around, recognizing the voice instantly. She slammed her locker shut and gave the fox a glare. "What could you possibly want with me?" The pink hedgehog asked her dryly.
Fiona leaned against the locker, smirking at Amy. Her eyes sparkled with mischief. "It's about yesterday."
"You're going to have to remind me what happened yesterday. My mind tends to forget memories of talking to skanks,"Amy replied haughtily, returning the smirk.
Fiona lost her amusement. Her smirk turned into a scowl. "No one talks to me like that, not now not ever. Can't you get over your insecurities and let me have what I want? I just want to be friends with Sonic. That's all."
Amy narrowed her eyes. "How stupid do you think I am? C'mon Fiona. Ever since you've come back, all you've been trying to do is steal my boyfriend. When will you take a hint?"
"It's not like that. I-
Amy shook her head with a mocking laugh. "You may have been the first person that Sonic's ever loved, but that doesn't mean anything to him anymore. You're just jealous. Jealous that Sonic is mine. Jealous because you've never had sex with Sonic."
Fiona's eyes widened as her mouth fell ajar. "What?" The fox murmured, her confidence shattered.
Amy nodded with triumph. "Maybe this means you'll stop being a bitch and leave Sonic and I alone. I would say I'll see you soon or that I'll miss you, but I can't say that your presence has touched me." The pink hedgehog shrugged and threw her backpack over her shoulder. She walked away, ignoring Fiona's shocked countenance.
OoO
The door shut, echoing throughout the large house.
"Sonic?" Her timid voice called out, searching for an answer. She dropped her bag and squinted through the darkness of the house. It was late...almost midnight. Sonic was probably already asleep. Running up the stairs, Amy crept into Sonic's room, but found that he was not there. Amy arched her eyebrows in confusion. She walked down the steps slowly, listening to the crackle of the fire. Her eyes lit up when she thought of the possibility that Sonic had waited for her!
She approached the living room, quietly. Her eyes lit up with joy when she saw Sonic sitting in one of the love seats, eyeing the fire wearily. Amy walked over to where Sonic was sitting so that he would see she was there. After not acknowledging her presence, Amy coughed, trying to get Sonic to look at her. He ignored her and continued staring at the roaring fire. Amy's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as her eyes looked at the ground. Slowly, she walked over to the love seat next to Sonic and sat down. Silence welcomed the couple.
Amy stirred in her seat, wondering what was wrong with Sonic. Maybe she shouldn't be so paranoid, after all...he could have just had a bad day. Maybe it didn't have anything to do with her. Her eyes brightened, having convinced herself that Sonic wasn't mad at her or anything along the lines of that.
"How was your day?" She chirped.
Silence.
Amy bit her lip hard, her palms started to sweat. Are you still convinced he's not mad at you? She asked herself.
"Sonic, what's wrong? Sonic, please talk to me," She pleaded, trying her hardest not to cry. She stood up from her chair and kneeled in front of Sonic's love seat. He still didn't make eye contact with her. Amy bit her cheek, not caring if it started to bleed.
"Sonic, talk to me...please look at me."
She reached up and caressed his face lovingly, before tilting his chin towards her. Sonic's hand removed her hand from his face. Amy's hand dropped with shock. Still not looking at her, Sonic blew out a troubled sigh. "I can't even look at you."
His words cut through her like a knife. Amy's heart rate slowed down and her vision became blurry. Steadying herself, she managed to squeak, "What?" Her voice came off as if she were in a daze.
"You know why."
"No, I don't, Sonic. I-
"You know why, Amy!" He snapped at her, his voice raising.
For the first time, Amy felt scared, scared for what was going to happen next. She looked down, Sonic's angry tone sinking in. Amy absorbed his harsh words and felt weakened by their affect. Her shoulders slumped over and her eyes started to water. She gripped the edge of the love seat tightly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," She said softly.
Sonic scowled, finally looking at her. He glared at her angrily. "Don't play dumb with me-
Exasperated, Amy cried out, "I don't know what you're talking-
Sonic's eyes widened wildly, as if he were a madman. "Yes, you do!" He screamed at her.
Amy choked out a sob as tears ran down her cheeks. She honestly had no idea what Sonic was talking about. All she knew was that he was angry with her, and that hurt more than she expected. It felt like someone had a death grip on her heart, squeezing it tightly and slowly until there was nothing left.
"I see this is going nowhere. Fine, I'll give you a little playback. You're just jealous because you've never had sex with Sonic and I have." His voice cracked slightly at the end. He stood up and yanked Amy to her feet so that he was looking down at her. Amy felt weak in his embrace, as if she was going to collapse. He had heard her...heard her taking to Fiona.
"Why did you tell her we had sex? Or better yet, tell me why you wanted to have sex with me. Tell it to my face," Sonic demanded harshly.
The sobbing Amy wiped away the tears that were running down her face. "Because I love you."
"No," Sonic said coldly. "The real reason."
"Because I love you," Amy cried out again.
"No! The real reason!" He yelled at her, his cold eyes glaring at her with anger.
Amy knew where this was going. She knew what he wanted to hear. "Because of Fiona."
Sonic's grip on her eased slightly. He shut his eyes with anguished satisfaction. Amy could barely hear his next words. "Keep going."
Amy winced at the sound of his broken voice. "I wanted to have sex with you because I thought you were going to move on to Fiona if I didn't. She was this seductress and I thought I was just some kid to you, Sonic. I don't understand why you're so mad though. We didn't even have sex!" Amy cried out, tears spilling down her cheeks.
"You did this because you were insecure, Amy. You didn't trust me. You never listened to all of the times that I told you I loved you and that Fiona didn't mean anything to me. You wanted to do it to beat Fiona. It doesn't even matter that we didn't have sex, Amy. You were going to do it for insincere reasons but you chickened out because you were scared. ," Sonic said pained, his eyes still closed.
"How can we stay together when there's no trust in this relationship?"
His words hit Amy like a ton of bricks. Suddenly, she knew where this was going. She bit her quivering lip, trying to keep from sobbing, but she found that it wasn't working. "Sonic, no. We can fix this. I can fix this. I do trust you. I love y-
She tried to reach out for him, but he gently pushed her away, still not looking at her. He gazed at the fire that was now starting to burn out. Only a tiny flame remained among a pile of broken, blackened sticks.
"You know what, Amy? You are a kid...an ignorant kid. And as of now, you make Fiona look like a saint," He said coldly before walking out of the room, leaving Amy on the ground, surrounded by an invisible puddle of her tears.
I love you. Don't forget.
I love you. Don't forget.
I love you. Don't forget.
Love, Amy
