Part 19


Sonic's POV

              When I got to her house I realized she wasn't there. Of course she wouldn't just go home like a normal person. She has to go somewhere and think. Guess I would just have to wait.

               I almost fell asleep a few times- but then I was reminded that it was Amy I was waiting for. I would wait until dawn if I had to, she couldn't stay out there forever. It was one of those moments where my eyes grew heavy and I was barely conscious when I saw a stunning red light. Alert now, I saw a very tired looking Amy trudging up the steps. She almost looked as exhausted as me. I sat up from my slouchy position, as she approached the door I made my move.

                                        "Hey Ames- It's pretty late isn't it?"

                Her expression didn't change. After today she probably thought I wasn't real. I should bring her back to reality. Standing up, I tapped her shoulder and stared into her eyes.

                                         "Amy? You there?"

                That worked. She jumped a little and her eyes opened fully. "A-ah! Sonic! What are you doing here?" She cocked her head to the side as if to remember something. "I was going to talk to you tomorrow. Were you waiting out here the whole time? Come in if you want."

                She yanked the door open nervously and flicked on the light.  The illuminated living room stood before me. It looked a lot different- there weren't quite as many pictures of me, and the carpet had changed from pink to beige. In fact the only pictures I saw of me were on the fireplace, surrounded by other ones. I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad sign.

"Make yourself at home; I'll put some tea on." She rubbed her eyes sleepily. "I'm gonna go take a shower, I'm all sandy."

                       "So that's where she was, at the beach." I sat on the soft couch and listened to the water running upstairs. She seemed so much calmer than this afternoon. Now, how was this going to play out?    


Amy's POV

                  At first, I thought that finding Sonic on my step was some kind of dream. Or miracle. I soon found it wasn't when he touched me… Trying to keep my cool as I let him in, I escaped as soon as I could.

                  The hot water ran down my neck, melting the itchy sand away. Scrubbing every inch of my body, I attempted to be thorough yet speedy. This was one of the only times it was not ok to take a 30 minute shower. Stepping out quickly, I changed into some silk pajama pants and a tank top. I couldn't get the thought out of my head about why he came. Was he here to talk about Sally? Was he here to talk about me? Does he….like me? I hurried downstairs, grabbed the teapot that was now VERY hot, and added the packet of tea. Reaching for the sugar cubes, I put a few on the plate and added some strawberries for my 'dinner'. Bringing them into the living room, I saw Sonic was sitting on the couch, gazing at the pictures on the fireplace.  Choosing the chair opposite of him, I sat awkwardly.

                    "So….What is it that you wanted to tell me so urgently?" I popped a strawberry into my mouth, trying to keep it casual. He looked over at me. Reaching up into his quills he pulled out a photograph. I leaned over to see what it was. My hands clenched with annoyance. The photo was a picture of Sonic and Sally, about to kiss, from some old thing he did. "What…is this….?" I tried to keep my voice calm. Of course it wasn't what I was hoping for; he just wanted to talk about Sally. "Look, I know you don't like her ok? I just wanted to ask you for a favor."

                     The last ray of hope left my body. "What can I do for you that she can't?" I said sarcastically. Sonic's eyes  traveled away from me, looking down in shame.

                                                       "Destroy it"

                                        "What?" I gasped, "I thought you treasured that!"

                      "I never treasured it," He spat bitterly, "But I don't need it anymore. You heard me, Ames, destroy it." Sonic's usually happy and friendly voice had completely changed in that moment. "Please…" He said softly.

                       "O-ok." I was really confused but this was taking a turn for the better. So I followed his instructions, and threw it into the fire. The flames liking and devouring up the bitter memory.

                              "Thanks."

            "L-look…" The cerulean male fidgeted around with the tea, an awkward pause followed.

                 "I'm not good at these things, but I want you to know…I care about you."

                                My mind reeled. Was he really saying it?

       "Really….care about you……" His head seemed to sink lower with every word. I couldn't see his eyes.


Normal POV

                              "Sonic." Amy stood up, and went to go sit next to him. A single tear trickled down her face, but she was smiling. "I like you too." He glanced up at her, before she got a chance to say anything else, he hugged her.


Amy's POV

                I didn't usually hug Sonic like this. It was usually more of…a glomp. When I pulled away I was shocked to find that the familiar emerald eyes had turned to red and his blue fur to ebony. His eyes glared at me with a powerful intensity. With a gasp I pushed him off me, the Shadow hallucination melting away with it.

               "…..Amy?" Sonic looked surprised and a slightly hurt.

                 "I-I'm sorry! I was just a little shocked. It's kinda late too…" I was trying to make up excuses. What for, I wasn't sure. I had to find a way for him to leave. This was awkward. "Listen," I said, "It's really late and I have some more training to do tomorrow. Do you mind if I go to bed?"

                   Smiling and pretending all the way out the door, I finally was alone. Suddenly exhausted, (this time it was real.) I slid down onto the carpet. Why does Shadow keep popping up everywhere? What is wrong with my mind? My mind reeled through possible reasons until I came across one that I couldn't ignore.

                                                    "Could I be......falling for him?"
