Chapter 9: Apologizing
Outside Blaze's Apartment Complex
Amy's POV
I really don't think I can do this. This literally just went down yesterday. Tikal and Knuckles are absolutely fucking crazy if they think Blaze is going to forgive me for all this.
"Tikal, I'm telling you, it's too soon." I beg her, trying to get her to change her mind.
"She needs to hear your side of things, Amy."
"But it's not even a good explanation. A sane person like her isn't going to take that as a valid reason for sleeping with her now ex-girlfriend."
"You're not going to make this easy, are you?" Tikal sighed.
"I'm just stating the facts. Just being out here is making me want to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes." I sigh. I really need one right now.
"Amy." Tikal said before she pulled me into a big kiss.
That snapped me out of my funk.
"I'm eating your pussy later." I tell her.
"And I can't wait." Tikal smiled as she gave me one last peck on my lips before we walked in.
This deadass feels like I'm walking into an Eggman base right now. To be completely honest, I would rather be walking into one of his old bases right about now. We arrived at Blaze's door. Tikal knocked.
Fuck, man. It was so quiet that I could literally hear Blaze on the other side of the door, walking closer and closer.
Damn it, Eggman, if there was ever a time to randomly come back to try on take over the world, this would be the time to do it.
I hear the door open and Blaze comes into sight. She looks like she hasn't slept in days. Her hair is a mess, her clothes are dirty, and, wait, has Blaze been smoking? I can smell it. She rarely smokes any pot. She's down real bad then because she only smoked when me and Rouge smoked together. She's fell this far in just over a day. And I'm responsible for this. Well, mostly responsible, Rouge has a lot do with this as well.
"Tikal, was it? Now really isn't the best time." Blaze said, sadness laced in her voice.
"I know, but I have a certain someone who's here to talk to you." She says as she pulls me into Blaze's line of sight.
"I don't want to talk to you, Amy."
"I told you, Tikal."
"Come on, Amy. Don't just give up." Tikal rolled her eyes.
"Good day to you both." Blaze stated as she began to shut the door.
"Blaze, wait!" I exclaim as I put my foot in the door.
"Amy, move your foot." Blaze said.
"Blaze, please, just listen to me."
"I have nothing to say to you, now move your damn foot!"
"Blaze, all I want is at the most 10 minutes of your time and I'll never bother you again, I swear." I plead.
"Fine, but 10 minutes is all. And she stays out here. This is between you and me."
"Fine. Tikal, just stay by the door and if any trouble comes up, just knock." I say as Blaze lets me in, shuts the door behind me, and locks it.
"Why does Tikal have to wait outside?" I ask.
"What part of between you and me did you not get? Also, I'm going to be fair here. You want to hit this since I'm already high as shit?" Blaze asked as she lit up a joint.
"Blaze, I love you."
"Not the time for that." Blaze said, shooting me a look.
"Sorry." I said as I took the blunt from her and took a hit. It felt so good to hit some gas. Sorry, Tikal, but I need to get my best friend back.
"Don't smoke it all, you know it takes me forever to roll." Blaze said as she took the blunt back and hit it again.
"Whatever, girl. Listen, let's talk."
"Well, that's why you're here, isn't it?"
"That's exactly why I'm here. I can't change what I did. Yes, I've slept with Rouge multiple times while you two were together, I'm not denying that. That by itself is unforgivable."
"Why, Amy? That's all I ask is why? Why would you do that to me? You knew I loved her and you slept with her anyway! Was getting stoned more important than our friendship?" Blaze shot back.
Yeah, there's absolutely no way I'm winning this. Hell, I never stood a chance from the very beginning. The very first time I slept with Rouge was the moment I lost this fight. I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
10 Months ago
"Ok, Amy, here's your stash." Rouge said, handing me my new bag of weed.
"Thank you, Rouge. You're a lifesaver. I've been so stressed out lately."
"Want a massage?"
"Sure."
Rouge sat me at the edge of her bed, got behind me, and began to massage my shoulders, and man, it was blissful.
"You're so knotted up, girl. What are you so stressed about?"
"Nothing a cigarette can't fix." I tell her.
"You know those are bad for your health."
"You smoke them, too, you know." I shot back.
"Not as many as you do. I may smoke 4 at the most in 2 days. You smoke about a pack a day."
"Hush." I tell her. The massage she was giving me felt so good.
"Rouge." I breathe.
"You like that, don't you?" She teased as she whisper in my ear.
"Yes." I whisper out.
Rouge then leans down and begins to gently kiss my neck, making me slightly moan.
I was just discovering that I was bi prior to right now. Her little kisses felt wonderful, making me just take in the moment.
Rouge then had her left hand move down and grab my breast.
"Rou-Mmmph!" I try to say before she clamps her right hand over my mouth.
"Shh, baby. We're just going to have a little fun. This can be an alternate if you can't pay me." She said in a seductive tone, officially turning me on, if I already wasn't from her giving me a sensual massage, grabbing my breast, and playing with my nipple. She uncovered my mouth.
"But what about Blaze?" I ask.
Rouge turns my head around to face hers.
"What she don't know won't hurt her." She says as she leans in and presses her lips onto mine as we begin a passionate make out session on the bed, her falling over with me on top, our tongues dueling for dominance over one another.
Present Day
"No, it wasn't, and it never will be. I'm weak, Blaze. I was too weak and too much of a coward to fight off Rouge's seductive mannerisms. I have no excuse for doing what I did. I was just alone and wanted some form of attention, and Rouge's seductive self was too much for me then. I can't begin to tell you how sorry and how ashamed I am of my actions. You're an awesome person, Blaze. You deserve the very best. Rouge didn't deserve you as a girlfriend, and I definitely don't deserve you as my friend. If you don't forgive me, I completely get it. I wouldn't forgive me either! I'm just a weak soul, Blaze. A weak soul who just wants to get high, drunk, and just fade away. I was petty, thoughtless, and selfish. You're my best friend and I love you so much. It kills me to see you like this, and it kills me ever more to know I did this to you. That's all I have to say." I said to her and I hit the blunt again.
Blaze sighed.
"Amy, you know I love you. You're my best friend and I can understand that you were lonely. However, you fucked Rouge on your own volition. She never held a gun up to your head and forced you to have sex with her. You knew how much this would hurt me and you kept doing it. I have every right to hate you, but I'm not. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you for this, or if I'll ever be able to trust you ever again, but I don't hate you." Blaze said as she got up and hugged me and I hugged her back as tight as I could. "You have a girl out there who is perfect for you, Amy. I've barely seen her, but I can tell she's just right for you. Don't lose her."
"I don't plan to, I can promise you that." I say. "So what happens between us?"
"I'm still very mad at you, so to be fair, I think we shouldn't see each other for a while. When I'm ready to see you again, I'll come find you."
"That sounds fair to me. I'll go ahead and get out of your hair."
We hugged each other one more time, and we even shared a quick kiss before I walked out. I looked around to try and see Tikal, but she wasn't anywhere to be found.
"Tikal? Tiks? Are you here? If you're trying to scare me, this isn't funny."
Nothing.
"Where the hell did you go?" I say to myself before a see a sheet of paper on the ground, and it had my name on it. That's weird.
I picked it up and read it.
'You might want to come on home. Tikal sure needs her rose.'
I recognize that handwriting from anywhere.
"Rouge!" I yell as I book it back to my apartment.
