Chapter 9: I Still Love You…

Amy was running away from the hospital with her tears trailing behind her. She was going farther and farther away from Sonic and that was slowly killing her inside. She didn't realize that, she just thought it was her heart hurting from the cruelness of Sonic's mourning. It was also raining out, and that made her cry even more.

'Stupid Sonic! Why do you have to make me feel this way?!'

She wanted to say she hated him right now, but she didn't. Because that would be lying. And she hated lying to others. But the person she hated lying to the most… was herself. Lying…

Amy gasped and halted in her tracks. 'What if I've been lying to myself this entire time?' she wondered, clutching her heart. That would mean she had been lying to Sonic, Rouge, Sally, and everyone else. But how much of it wasn't a lie? Was she lying about how much she really cared for Sonic? But that would mean that she…

Amy's tears welled up in her jade green eyes and poured like waterfalls from her ducts. She started to cry and sniffle and put her face into her hands. She started walking slowly and silently as if she had no footfall.

Ain't it strange how we call about your name?

I'm at silence again, can't remembered when

I lost my will with it, guess is too bad is it?

But I'm letting go, I'm giving you…

Amy stopped at a tree and placed a hand to its rough bark. She leaned her head onto it and sobbed in agony.

'Cuz I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

You make my life complete

I still love you!

Amy stared up at the stormy sky and glared. "Go ahead! Rain on me to make me feel worse! I don't give a shit!" she snapped to the heavens. She then fell to her hands and knees and continued to sob and sing.

'Cuz I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

He's everything I need

I still love you

You make my life complete!

Amy looked at her own murky reflection in a puddle in front of her face. Her face and body were dripping with sweat, tears, and rain.

I need to breathe, I need you to succeed

I'm at silence again, 'cuz this love within

I can hurt the same, I'm immune to pain

If you break these chains again, help me live again…

If I known you can shoot

I wouldn't settle with you

I presume, you made it so true

I would risk my high, if you risk yours again

Boy, I'm not letting go, I'm giving in

She whipped her head up in response to the loud crack of thunder.

'Cuz I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

You make my life complete

I still love you!

'Cuz I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

He's everything I need

I still love you

You make my life complete!

I still love you!

Amy stood up as memories of her and Sonic flashed through her head in chronological order. She clenched her heart and started to sniffle.

No one's ever supposed to say goodbye

We should've gave ourselves another try

Should've only been one thing, us against the win

Now, I only have myself to win

And I cry beside this thing calling

Wish our feelings never changed

But I'm letting go, giving in!~

Amy turned her head back and looked to see a silhouette of the hospital in the blinding rain. She had to go back. Sonic would be in surgery right now, and she needed to be there!

I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

He's everything I need

I still love you

You make my life complete!

I still love you!

I still love you!

Please come back to me

I still love you

He's everything I need

I still love you

You make my life complete!

I still love you!

Amy reared herself up and prepared to run for the building.

Please come back to me

He's everything I need

I still love you

You make my life complete

I still love you, you!

Amy then ran as fast as she could, back towards the hospital, content on seeing Sonic again. She then thought, "You were right, Rouge…' as she thought back to that night.

Flashback… Amy's POV...

Just as I took the first step towards the air mattress, my foot made a crunch sound! Both Sonic and I gasped at this, and I looked down. I saw a piece of white paper under my boot. I stepped off of it and picked it up. Luckily, it wasn't ripped; it just had some slight creases in it. I scanned it with my eyes for a while before letting my arms fall to my side. The paper was still in my hand and I gripped it lightly. "What does it say?" Sonic asked me. I shook my head. "Nothing… it's blank." I told him. Sonic's ears lowered and he said nothing.

I bit my lower lip in shame as I had lied. It was a note from Rouge, and it only said, "Trust your heart, Amy Rose…" It wasn't signed, but I knew it was from Rouge. Not just because she had just left, and it was in her handwriting… I just knew…

End of Flashback… Normal POV…

Amy had gotten to the hospital, still soaked. She saw Rick and Ray and they were just chatting until they saw her."Amy?! Why are you soaking wet?!" Ray asked in shock, rushing over to her. "Rick, get Amy a towel!" the gray bat commanded to his twin brother. Rick rushed down the hall and Ray turned back to Amy. "Let's hope you don't get sick, Amy. Why were you out in the storm?" he asked, trying the brush the water off of her. "I don't know, Ray… I'm just in a pickle right now…" the soaked, pink hedgehog admitted, her ears drooping. "Why is that?" Ray asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because I'm still in love with Sonic the Hedgehog…"


Done! I know it's short, but this one took a long time!

Shadow: That and she had church.

Yeah… I love God and all that, but it's so fucking boring!

Also, Happy Easter! And also…

R&R!
