Hey guys! Here's chapter 4!
WARNING: If this chapter offends you, I'm very sorry but this was my intention the hole time. (Not to offend you but the conflict) So again, sorry if you find this chapter awkward or disliked but it will be this way for a couple more chapters.
(Still 3rd person)
"I don't know Cream, that's a really big assumption. She can't be..." Tails shook his head.
"I know it's a big deal, but she's worth the big deal and I'm pretty sure I'm close. Haven't you noticed the way she held her stomach?" Silence.
"When she was crying, she held her stomach. The way she acted scared me, like I was the one hurting her..." Sonic pressed his hand against his temple. "Am I the only one who thinks this is my fault?" They all nodded.
"Speaking of that, what if she got attacked by EggMan while she was out?" Tails asked, sticking his hand out and placing it on top of Cream's.
"I was busy with him, he wouldn't bother Amy being focused on me the hole time."
"Guys, we're not going to get answers unless we ask Amy herself." Cream sighed. "She kept telling me se wasn't ready, or she couldn't. I never understood her, and I just thought she was talking about you, Sonic." His eyes widened. "After you left her house that day, Amy was crying."
"Wait, Amy was with you?" Cream nodded. "Yeah, and when I picked her up from the Airport and I explained how excited I was to introduce her to everyone, she asked me if I could wait a month."
"WHAT?" Sonic threw his arms up in frustration, "She's been here for a month!" Cream nodded. Sonic was upset, but they had business to attend to, so he dropped it for now.
"Ok, hold on. She told me nothing cold fix her. She said to give her Tuesday, next week. She kept repeating she had a week left." Sonic sat back down.
"We'll never know unless we talk to her." Tails finally said, and they all got up and walked into Sonic's room.
They walked into the room, silent with their steps so they didn't wake Amy. She was lying on Sonic's bed, covers off and her white tank top was pulled up some, exposing some of her stomach. Her black headband had fell off as well and she'd taken off her convers and socks that were placed beside his bed. She looked over heated. As they walked to her, Sonic pulled a chair up and sat beside her, watching as sweat beaded onto her long beautiful quills. Her head had sunk into his large pillows and she looked uncomfortably comfortable. (Sorry if you don't understand that… If you don't understand, just ask in the comments.) They all stood there, waiting to see who'd be the one to wake her up or if she'd wake up herself.
"Hmm…" She frowned and turned her body over to face Sonic, her body producing less sweat by the second. Amy's arm folded over her chest, which bent her tank top showing part of her white bra. Things just got very awkward for Sonic…
"You need to wake her up," Tails said, slowly moving her arm back to fix the cleavage, "and soon please. We don't have much time before people get curious why the owner of the house has gone missing." Sonic sighed. He leaned forward and nudged her rosy cheek, warm from his pillow. She flinched at the touch, and her eyes gradually fluttered open wanting to know who had touched her. Sonic's touch wasn't tough or ungrateful, but it was tender and fragile. Amy adjusted herself and saw her friends looking at her with concerned faces.
"I-I is sorry." She rubbed her eyes and yawned softly. They gave her a confused look toward her grammar, but ignored it.
"Are you alright? You passed out earlier." Amy froze. She didn't want this. She exactly what would happen, and she did it. Her friends were now going to question her and she had to answer them. Honestly.
"I'm fine." Cream came up and placed her hand near Amy's, inches away.
"Are you sure?" Amy didn't move. She fixed herself to where she sat Indian-style, kept her gaze down.
"Amy, we want to know the truth." Tails took a step forward and wrapped his arm around Cream's shoulder. Sonic kept looking at her, at her stomach. He really wished Cream wasn't right. He hoped.
"I, I really don't want to." Amy blurted. She looked up and their facial expressions didn't change.
"Amy." She turned and saw Sonic looking at her. If she weren't like this, she would be all over him. If it didn't happen, she wouldn't be like this.
"I've no-noticed some things lately Miss Amy…" Cream spoke up. She pulled up a chair and sat down, grabbed Amy's hands gingerly. "You're very protective, and I like that… You seem scared and I'm pretty sure we know what that feels like, but you seem petrified." Amy gulped, eyes threatening to tear up. "I might not be correct, but I'm afraid my friend is scared and needs help. So umm… So, Amy…" Cream inhaled, nervous. "Are you pregnant?" There was a long silence. Amy slowly pulled her hands away from Cream's and placed them over her face. Bringing her knees up as well, she cried. They all sighed, Cream's question answered. Sonic's ear twitched. This wasn't right. Something was missing.
Amy wiped her eyes and decided to answer. Her voice muffled, she replied, "Yes and no." Tails and Cream gave each other worried glances while Sonic leaned closer.
"The way you acted, around me Amy." Sonic looked down. "You acted like I was hurting you. I was so confused. Please Amy, tell us the real story." By then, Tails had pulled a chair up as well (So many chairs) and they waited for Amy to answer. She kept her arms around her knees and stared across the room, eyes swelling.
"It happened about a month and a half ago. It had always been a long walk to my house from school. I'd pass many Mobians and greet them; my favorite being a middle aged gay man. I'd always say hello and we'd talk for a while. We'd laugh a lot when he would give me fashion advice. He always gave me compliments, and I did too." She paused, a tear slipping down her cheek, but she continued.
"One day, a week before graduation, I was walking home and seemed to have missed him. At least I'd thought that. W-When I was about a block away from my house, I heard him call me. I was so excited to tell him about my day, to hear about his. He was behind me, smiling. He asked if I'd be allowed to take a walk and I didn't think my parents would mind me walking with him; he was our friend. When we got to this beautiful blue forest, I thought 'wow, he's really nice'. He stopped talking for a while, and I got nervous. H-He confessed he loved me, and that he wanted to have me. He wanted to run away with me. I was happy, but I didn't like him that way. I declined his offer, but he resisted and started to rage." Amy took shaky breaths, trying to finish the story.
"He started hitting me, shoving me against trees. I was able to escape sometimes, but I didn't know where we were and he found me. I, I…" Cream had tears in her eyes, Tails clenched his fists and gritted his teeth while Sonic stood up. He had a furious and chaotic look on his face. Amy didn't meet eye contact.
"You got raped?" He said in a dangerously calm voice. "Did you?" She looked up at his pained face, her eyes blurry. She nodded. He turned around and threw his chair against the wall.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'IT'S FINE'? Amy, you were ABUSED. I don't understand how you can tell us your fine when you're pregnant with a MONSTER'S baby!" Amy had started crying, head placed in between her legs, hands cupping face.
"It will." She choked.
"That guy is still out there! He's probably tricking girls right now. Then, he'll leave them pregnant like you are right now." Amy got up onto her knees and faced him.
"It's fine because I've already sued him, gotten the pay, and I'm having an abortion on TUESDAY!" She wailed and hunched over, clutching her hellish stomach. They all just stood there, befuddled.
"Is that why you asked me to wait a month? Because you didn't want us to figure out?" Cream placed her gloved hand on Amy's head and expected a reaction but didn't get one. Amy accepts her friend wants to help her, and she did need help.
"I wish you guys didn't see me like this. I wish he never happened, and I wish I wasn't so damn useless." Sonic came over and placed his head onto hers. Amy loved his scent, his outdoor smell mixed with the slightest hint of cologne. She wished everything would reset.
"It's going to be alright. I promise." She turned her head up and met his wet eyes.
"I missed you." She finally said. He smiled, "I missed you too, Ames."
They all got things fixed up and when they went downstairs, everyone had gone except for Sally.
"Where have you-" She noticed the puffy pink hedgehog walking in Cream's arms. "What… I'm so confused." Sonic came up and took her hand, unconsciously with no affection.
"This is Amy. The lost friend." Her faced flash a certain emotion but was quickly covered with a smile. She walked forward. "Hi, I'm Sally Acorn. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." When Sally held out her hand for Amy to accept, she didn't. Amy didn't want to touch a stranger. She'd grown to have trust problems.
"Okay… Um, it's nine and everyone's gone. That either means this party sucked or they got bored because the main hedgehog wasn't there." Sonic shook his head.
"Sorry, there was an emergency."
"What was it?" They all winced. Amy looked down at her swollen belly; afraid it'd be noticeable.
"You had a crisis about some mobian who gained weight?" They all gasped. (Just to warn you, Sally isn't in character. I'm playing her off a little different. She's a little ignorant at some things… Sorry!)
"What?" She frowned.
"Sally, that's rude." Tails took a step forward.
"Then I don't know what the emergency is." She turned to Sonic, placing a hand on one hip. "I accept being your girlfriend and the first thing you do is leave me with twenty people, lie to me, and wonder off. Is this what you do to other women? Manipulate them?" Amy pulled forward but was stopped my Cream.
"Sally, no. Why have you changed all of a sudden? I asked the Sally I knew. I don't know what's happened over the past hours, but you've changed." Sally shook her head.
"So you're breaking up with me?"
"No, you are." With Sally confused, Sonic came up to Amy, Tails and Cream and they headed toward Amy's house.
Like it? I'm not sure if I like Sally's character, but I need her to be that way. Sally's pretty cool, and I DO NOT ship her and Sonic, but yeah… Next chapter coming out tomorrow.
