Ch.7

Crystal pulled me downstairs. It was the middle of the night and she thought we needed to eat comfort food. I'd been crying all day and she stated that she was starving. We walked into the kitchen and she made me sit in a chair. "Ice cream, ice cream," she said, scanning the freezer.

"I'm not hungry, Chris," I whispered.

"That's not the point of ice cream. That's the point of ribs. The point of ice cream is for comfort," she replied. I didn't want ice cream; I wanted Sonic.

"Fine," I said. I didn't feel like arguing with her when I knew I was going to lose anyway. She pulled out a tub of cookies and cream ice cream and got out an ice cream scooper. I grabbed the bowls and spoons. Crystal scooped the ice cream into the bowls and handed me a bowl. I stared at it for a moment before stuffing a scoop into my mouth. Crystal smiled.

"It'll get better soon, trust me," she said. I nodded.

"I hope." I heard footsteps. "Uh Chris, where's your parents," I asked.

"Business trip. I swear we were made friends so that we wouldn't be lonely."

"So we're home alone with…"

"Don't think about that thing. He's probably sleepwalking."

"He still does that?"

"When did he stop? Remember that time he fell down the steps, got up, walked into a pole and was still sleep." I laughed.

"Yea that was funny. Remember when he thought your poster of Justin Beaver was his girlfriend and started making out with it." We laughed. The footsteps came downstairs. Sonic poked his head through the kitchen doorway, glaring at us.

"Can u guys shutup, I'm trying to sleep upstairs," he said.

"Well in that case…no," Crystal said. Sonic walked into the room and pushed her out her chair. "Ow," she exclaimed. Sonic rolled his eyes before looking at me. He smirked.

"You look like dirt," he said.

"Leave me alone," I said, turning away and crossing my arms. I felt Sonic's arms around me. I tried to wiggle out his grip, but it was too strong.

"Stop Amy," he said seriously in my ear.

"Then let go," I said. He turned me around.

"I just wanted to apologize."

"Apology not accepted."

"Why? Amy you should know that I'm not the most perfect guy around."

"Of course I know that. I've known you for ten stinkin' years and want to know what I learned? You're a player. A heart breaker. I'm surprised you stayed with me for a month."

"Amy, I never wanted to hurt you."

"Sure you didn't," I snapped. I pushed him away from me. I got up and helped Crystal up.

"You're so mean to me," Crystal said to Sonic, half sleep.

"C'mon Crystal, time to go to bed. You sound drunk," I said.

"But I didn't have anything, I swear Mr. Policeman," she said, her eyes half open. I sighed.

"I'm not a policeman; I'm your best friend, now c'mon. Time to go nighty night."

"Will Justin Beaver be there?"

"In your dreams? Yea, he's waiting for you." I hauled Crystal upstairs and laid her in her bed. She fell asleep the minute her head hit the pillow. I went out into the hallway and looked around. No Sonic. I sighed and went downstairs. I saw him sitting at the kitchen table. I tried to be quiet about my walking, but tripped and fell on the floor. Sonic looked at me and chuckled. I got up, my cheeks red from embarrassment. I started putting the ice cream away. Sonic didn't say anything, he just stared. I felt uncomfortable after a few minutes. "Are you going to stay mad forever," he asked, breaking the silence. I took a deep breath before turning around to face him.

"I don't know," I whispered.

"Can we talk about this?"

"You cheated on me, what more is there to explain?"

"That they kissed me. That I didn't want anything to do with them. They asked me to rehearse with them and before I knew it, they were throwing their lips onto mine."

"How am I supposed to believe that?"

"You don't trust me?"

"When did I start?" He looked hurt at my words but it faded away quickly. He shook his head.

"You really think I'm that bad?"

"I know you used to use girls. You would flirt, date, and then break a heart."

"Key word Amy: used." He stood up and walked up to me. I crossed my arms.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you still did that." He put his hands on my arms softly.

"I don't, can't you see that I'm trying to change for you."

"You were trying."

"Can we just start over?" I looked down and thought it over. If we did start over then maybe I would find a change in him and find my perfect match. Then again, he's Sonic and Sonic will be Sonic. But he's my Sonic. I looked up and looked into his sincere liquid green irises.

"When you say start over, I know you mean that our dating relationship. But, I just want to start over like we used to. Frienemies and then work our way up. Forget the feelings we used to feel, forget our dates, forget all the kisses except for the very first one in Crystal's closet. Let's just turn back time to where we were two months ago."

"Is that what you want?"

"No, but it's what both of us might need." His eyes seemed to lose their dullness as he forgot or tried to. I closed my eyes and tried to forget. When I opened them, I looked at Sonic's eyes. The liquid was flowing again and there was a mischievous look in them. His signature cocky grin began to grow on his lips. He tilted his head a little.

"Don't think about it trash rat," I said, smiling without my own permission. His hands left my arms and he picked me up. He threw me over his shoulder.

"Put me down before I fart in your face," I yelled.

"Yea right thing two," he replied, starting to take me upstairs. I started banging on his back.

"Put me down!"

"No way." He walked into his room and threw me onto the bed. He shut his door.

"Oh so you're trapping me now," I said, sitting up and crossing my legs.

"Yup, you are now my prisoner for the night."

"Don't you have better things to do except kidnap little girls and-" I started before he sped over to me and started tickling me. I laughed. "Stop," I managed to say. He kneeled on the bed beside me. I kept laughing. He stopped tickling me and put his hand over my mouth. I licked it. "Ew," he said pulling his hand away. I sat up and tried to jump off the bed before he caught my waist and pushed me back down. He pinned my arms down as he straddled my stomach. "Get off," I said, struggling.

"Nope, you're not going anywhere babe."

"Babe? Since when did you start calling me babe?"

"Well you are a girl aren't you?"

"No, I'm a boy." He rolled his eyes.

"You're annoying you know that?"

"I thought I was adorable." He released my wrists. I sat up only to be pushed back down. I rolled "Get off," I said, struggling.

"Nope, you're not going anywhere babe."

"Babe? Since when did you start calling me babe?"

"Well you are a girl aren't you?"

"No, I'm a boy." He rolled his eyes.

"You're annoying you know that?"

"I thought I was adorable." He released my wrists. I sat up only to be pushed back down. I rolled over, grabbing his wrists. I hovered over him, smiling teasingly. He smirked at me. Before I knew what was happening, I bent my face down to his and crushed my lips to his softly.
