*~~~~~~~~Ch 17~~~~~~*
Sonic saw Sally walking down the street crying with rage. Sonic was confused, so he walked up to her.
"Sally? Are you ok?"
"Get the hell away from me. Now," Sally said grinding her teeth.
"Sally, seriously. What's wrong. I'm concerned about you."
Suddenly, Sonic was slammed on to a wall by Sally's sudden kick.
"You shouldn't. Were' divorced remember? Now, get away from me!"
"But-But….Ouch!"
Sally ignored his cries of pain and kept on walking. When she got to Amy's house, it was dark. Sally saw one light turned on and knocked on the door hard with her fist.
"Yes?" Amy asked, but instead of a response, she got a punch on the nose.
"Ahh! What the….Sally?"
"I hate you!" Another punch on the face. This time it made Amy fall on her back. Amy was scared.
"What are you doing?! What did I do?!"
"You ruined my life! How dare you steal my lovers!" Sally was just about to punch her, but Amy punched back.
"Steal your lovers? What the hell are you talking about!? And what do you mean by 'lovers'? As in…More than one?"
"Yes! Two actually."
"Oh yeah? Who?"
Sally backed off for a second and told her, "Sonic… First you stole my Sonic….And now…My Keith.."
Amy froze at the sound of his name. She gulped and asked, "Keith?"
"Yes Keith! He was the one that comforted me when Sonic ignored me…He was the one that actually cared about me…But now…You stole him from me!"
"His not what you think he is! Really! You have to believe me! He was my boyfriend once!"
Sally stood still. "…That can't be….He…He never told me about you…"
"You want to know why? Because he used to beat me up! That's why…" Amy said standing up
"But how-"
"When I met him at the beginning, I thought he was awesome. We became boyfriend and girlfriend…It started out fine, but later on he wanted me to kiss him when I didn't want to. He didn't even let me go out with friends or even hug my own cousin! He was jealous all the time. But one day… He saw me kiss my cousin on the cheek, I knew I was in trouble. Outside he started beating me up. That's when he disappeared…Until now."
"Oh yeah? Then why didn't you break up with him earlier?!"
"Because I thought he could change! I thought…If I was there to-to encourage him when he was afraid to do things…I would be there…I could change him…But I guess not. I never did…"
Sally looked away denying all those facts. Sally shut her eyes thinking the Keith she dated. That's not Keith, she thought, no…It can't believe it….I won't!
"No."
"What?"
"No…The Keith I know isn't like that…No! I won't accept that!" Sally kicked Amy on the stomach. Amy yelled then fell to the ground hugging her stomach. Her eyes widened as she saw a puddle of blood forming under her dress and knees.
"What did you do?!"
Sally realized what she has done and got scared, not for Amy, but for the baby. "I…I-I didn't mean to…I was just…Oh no…" Sally's voice shook and so did her body. She walked away and ran out the door like the fool that she was. Amy gasped for air.
"Amy? Oh my gosh Amy…Oh my gosh! What happened!? Oh my…Oh my gosh…"
"Melanie….?"
"Yes…It's me…" Melanie whispered.
"Help….Me…My…Baby…."
"Amy! Oh no. Oh no….Amy, you're gonna be all right. I called an ambulance."
"My baby…." Amy whispered weakly.
"Oh no…"
When the ambulance came, everything went black.
