Chapter Six: I Remember You
RIIIIIINGGGGG!
A certain hot pink hedgehog groaned at the sound of her phone ringing.
I should really change that annoying ass ringtone.
She looked over at her bedside clock. 1:45 a.m. Who the heck was calling at this time? She reached over to her phone and answered. "Hello?" she answered, sounding dead.
"Rosy! Where the hell were you?!"
Rosy immediately woke up to the loud, livid tone of her friend's voice. "Uh….what are you talking about?" she said, trying to play it off.
"Don't play dumb! You never miss my parties! What happened to you tonight? You didn't even bother to call-"
"I just couldn't okay! No big deal Sal, you'll have another one." she yelled at her. There was a brief pause before Sally spoke.
"Rosy, are you alright? You've been acting strange for the past few days…."
Rosy sighed. "I'm fine. Better than ever."
"I'm your bestfriend Rosy, you know you can talk to me about anything right? Don't shut me out." Sally said in a sincere voice.
"Bye Sal." Rosy hung up the phone and tossed it to the foot of her bed. She sighed again. She started to think about that new girl. Everyone seems to like her, maybe because she looks and acts exactly like…
Rosy shook her thoughts. She never wanted to think about that. She laid back down in her bed, slowly drifting back to sleep.
Monday.
Amanda despised Mondays. The weekends just went too fast for her, and she missed having her sleep. And she really wasn't looking forward for school and seeing him. She went home that night and thought about what he said.
Those piercing green eyes stared right at her as she heard him spoke. I'm not done with you yet." After that, she stared back at him and then turned to get in the car. She looked back at him for a quick second and saw him smirk and walk away. Her body shivered.
Amanda hasn't seen him since and didn't want to from that encounter. She knew deep in her heart she still loved him, but that didn't change the fact he was a different person now. She used to feel a warm comforting feeling around Sonic, but now it was cold and frightening. She wondered why he didn't want her to talk to Jet.
Jet!
Where was he? Amanda was at her locker and started to look around curiously, looking for the green hawk. He seemed like a nice guy to be around, she decided not to listen to Sonic, since he didn't give a valid reason why she shouldn't. Or at least that's what she thought.
She closed her locker and was face to face with someone she thought she'd never speak to again. Her old twin sister stared her down with a stoic expression. "Rosy?" Amanda choked out.
Rosy changed her expression as she nervously smiled and chuckled. "Guess you remember my name from lunch that day."
"Uh, yes I guess so"
Rosy sighed. "Look, I just wanted to apologize for running off like that. It was rude and I should've given you a chance…" She trailed off. There was a quick silence then Amanda nodded. "Its quite alright."
Rosy nodded back. "But I'm giving you a chance now. What do you say about coming over my house today? We can…chat."
Amanda grinned. "Sure."
"Great, meet me at the student parking lot after school." And with that, Rosy walked off as Amanda watched her. "This should be interesting." She said to herself then turned to head to her 2nd period class.
Lunchtime came and Amanda was mentally thanking Chaos since she was starving. On her way to the cafeteria, she heard someone call her name, her old name. She slowly turned to see who it was.
"Amy! Wait up!"
It was Jet. Again she thanked Chaos it was nobody else as she smiled at him. "Hello there."
"Hey, you headed to lunch?"
Amanda nodded. "If I don't eat soon I'm gonna explode from my growling stomach."
Jet laughed at her. "Why don't you sit with me and my crew."
Amanda's smile faded. Sure she didn't mind sitting with Jet, but she wasn't so sure about sitting with new people, she wanted to be around friends. Then again, she wasn't Amy anymore. She was Amanda, and maybe it was time for a change of personality. She nodded. "Okay."
The two of them walked in the cafeteria and she spotted her friends from afar. She heard Cream shout at her. "Amanda over here!" Amanda looked at her and shouted, "I'll see you guys later!" Cream looked at her confused, but nodded her head. Jet continued to lead her to his table and Amanda immediately felt her blood get cold. Sitting before them was Blake and that Mina girl, and they were both staring daggers at her as they scowled.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Blake spat.
"Yeah, what gives!" Mina said with disgust. Amanda rolled her eyes at the both of them before speaking. "I'm a friend of Jet's, thanks."
"Okay guys calm down," Jet said trying to ease the tension. "Let's get to know each other."
Amanda shook her head at him. "I'm sorry Jet, but I can't sit with them. I'll talk to you later okay?" Before he could say anything, she turned away from him and walked towards her real friends.
Jet then turned to his allies with a perplexed face. "What the hell was that?"
Afterschool, Amanda headed to the student parking lot like Rosy instructed her to. She spotted the hot pink girl, leaning against her corvette smoking a blunt. Amanda looked at her funny.
Since when Rosy smoked? She hated that.
Rosy put the blunt out as she saw Amanda coming. "Ready to go?"
Amanda slowly nodded and got in the car alongside her. Rosy pulled off the lot and started to drive home. There was about a five minute silence before either girl said anything, but Rosy broke it. "So, did you just move to Station Square?"
"Eh, yes."
"Where are you come from?"
Amanda paused and blurted out "Emerald City."
Rosy widened her eyes as she looked at her for a second before turning her attention back to the road. "Really? I've always wanted to visit there."
Yeah, I know
"Is it nice?" she asked. Amanda gave a slight shrug and a sheepish smile. "It's nice enough."
Rosy just nodded and continued to drive home. The two finally pulled up to a big white brick house as Rosy parked outside by the garage. Amanda felt a warm feeling as she looked at her old home. She missed it dearly, it was a very bittersweet moment for her.
"Follow me."
The two girls walked inside after Rosy unlocked the door. Amanda gazed around the living room they were in, everything looked the same. "Mom! I'm home!" Rosy yelled.
"Why, who is this?"
They turned to see an average height coral pink hedgehog woman with shoulder length pale pink hair cascading around her shoulders. She wore dark blue jeans, a red blouse, and a white apron wrapped around her. She had dark green eyes and a slightly shocked look on her face, but she slowly retreated to a warm smile. This woman was Amanda's old mother.
"This is my new friend Amanda, this is my mom." Rosy said uninterested.
"Nice to meet you Miss…" Amanda trailed off. It pained her to say it, but she had to be polite.
"Oh you can call me Giselle." Her mother said kindly. Amanda wanted to frown but forced a smile. "Okay."
"Well Amanda make yourself at home, you can stay for dinner if you'd like, I'm trying out a new recipe!" Giselle said as she hurried off to the kitchen. Amanda chuckled as Rosy shook her head. "Don't mind her."
They went upstairs walking to Rosy's room, but something caught Amanda's eye. There was an empty room next door to Rosy's. The room literally had nothing in it, nothing but pink walls. This was her old room. Amanda looked at the room in utter shock, but Rosy never noticed.
When the two got to her room, Amanda noticed another thing out of order. Rosy's room look the same, but she saw a picture collage hanging beside her bed and window. Every single picture, was a picture of them. Pictures from where they were babies to the age 17. They were pictures of them smiling and laughing, even some where they looked like they hated each other.
"Who is this?" She didn't even know why she bothered to ask, but she did anyway. Rosy noticed her looking at it and gave a sad smile.
"She was my twin sister."
"Was?"
Rosy nodded. "I miss her everyday, I lost her a year ago...she was my other half. That room next door was hers, my parents wanted to change it into a guest room or something, but I refused." She started tear up, but held it in. "What happened to her….was unbearable for me….I was the one who had to find her dead that day. I was the one who cradled her in my arms begging Chaos to bring her back….I felt as if I failed her, failed to protect my sister. Even though I was younger than her." Rosy now had tears streaming down her face, but she quickly wiped them away. "I'm sorry, I don't even know why I'm telling you this." She looked up at Amanda who was crying hard and grabbing her things. "Amanda?"
"I gotta go." Amanda rushed out of her room with Rosy calling her name, but there was no use. Amanda ran as fast as her feet could carry her. She had to get away from there, it was a mistake. After a few mintutes of running she slowed down, and rain started to fall from the grey skies.
Just great.
She walked fast trying to head to the nearest bus station, but she heard a car drive beside her and honk. She rolled her red teary eyes and ignored the driver, thinking it was just some asshole trying to flirt.
"Hey! You gonna get in or what?"
Amanda averted her eyes to see the car belonging to Sonic, who was staring hard at her. Amanda looked back ahead of her. Well, she was right about the asshole part. "Why would I wanna get in a car with you?"
"Because it's raining….obviously." Sonic said while smirking. Amanda stopped her tracks before heavily sighing and getting in the passenger side of the car.
"Green Hill Zone. Drive."
"Geez sweetie no need to be so hostile." Sonic said. He looked her straight in her green orbs and saw the redness and the tear stains on her cheek. He furrowed his brows. "Your eyes…"
"What?"
"You've been crying."
"N-No I haven't." She said uneasy.
"Tell me why."
"Why should I?"
"Did someone hurt you?" Amanda's eyes slightly widnened. Why did he care so much?
"No, nothing like that."
Sonic continued to look at her with a serious expression. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Amanda looked at him and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Sonic rose a brow at her before putting his car into gear. "We're going to Baskin Robbins."
It was now Amanda's turn to raise a brow. "Now?"
"Yeah, you need an icecream. And I'm not taking no for an answer."
She just blinked at him as he drove down to the icecream place. When they arrived, Sonic and Amanda walked to the line of various icecream flavors sitting before them. The cashier greeted them. "Hello, welcome to Baskin Robbins, what would you like?"
Sonic looked to Amanda. "What'll it be?"
Amanda shrugged. "I'm not sure, there's so many flavors I want."
"May I suggest a couples' sundae?" the cashier asked politely.
"Oh we're not a couple." Amanda said quickly as Sonic smirked at her.
"I don't know babe. Couple has a nice ring to it."
Amanda rolled her eyes. "Haha very funny."
Sonic gazed upon the many flavors, he wasn't sure about what he wanted either.
"Why don't you get blueberry blast? I mean, you're blue." Amanda chuckled as Sonic gave the (-_-) face.
"Haha, very funny" he said mocking her as she hit him on his arm.
"I'll just have bubblegum please." Amanda told the cashier.
"Yeah, get it because you're pink." Sonic chuckled as Amanda hit him again. "Ow! You got a little strength there."
Amanda smirked in victory. "Thought I was weak?"
Sonic shook his head and turned to the cashier. "I'll just have blueberry." The cashier nodded as she started their orders.
"Awww look whose taking my suggestion."
Again, Sonic gave the (-_-) face as Amanda laughed hysterically. The cashier handed their orders.
"$5.00 please."
Amanda fished through her purse trying to find her wallet but Sonic stopped her. "You really thought you were paying? I got this." He pulled out a 5 and handed it to the cashier. "Thank you sir."
She looked at him as they walked out of the store. "Uh, thank you."
"No prob, Bob."
"It's Amanda."
"I thought it was Amy."
Amanda looked at him sternly. "That's just a nickname a friend calls me."
"You mean Jet? The one I warned you about?"
"Yes, him. He's my friend and I see nothing wrong with him."
Sonic rolled his eyes as he licked the top of his cone. "Believe what you want."
The two got in the car and Sonic drove Amanda home. The car ride was silent, which was awkward. Sonic pulled in front of her house and then glanced at her. "This is where we part ways my friend." He said playfully.
"Friend? I viewed you more as an associate." Amanda said back. Sonic laughed.
"Either will do."
"Why are you being so nice? I thought you were the assholeish type." She said questioning him. He shrugged.
"Guess I felt like being nice."
Amanda stared at him for a second, but then grabbed her stuff. "Again, thanks for the icecream and the ride home. You really didn't have to do that."
"It was no problem, really." He said sincerely. "I'll see you later Amanda." She nodded at him and gave him a small smile before getting out of the car and heading to the front door. He sighed as he watched her get inside the house safely.
"I remember you."
Awww Sonic finally being a sweetheart. What do you think Sonic means by what he said? What do you think Rosy is feeling now after Amanda having a meltdown? Until next time my lovelies.
