❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 53 | 'Moving On'

Amy's POV:

...

"Honey, what's up?" I heard my mother ask. Yesterday, we already left Italy. And without a doubt, Sonic never looked my way nor try to talk to me. He didn't even sit beside me and chose to sit beside his siblings. When asked why he didn't sit beside me, he just laughed and told them that it was because he preferred the seats there over mine. I tried to not cry during the whole plane ride, but it was hard. So when I felt the tears coming, I immediately excused myself and went to the bathroom. And as I cried there quietly, I also made sure no one heard the cries I tried so hard to hide. Now, I unknowingly just sat there in front of my vanity, lost in my thoughts. Even though I cried for god knows how long, there wasn't a single trace of sadness found in my eyes. I then looked at my mother, who was now sitting beside me. 

"Mom... did you and dad know?" I asked.

My mother's once smiling face has now turned into the same troubled expression she has shown me back in Italy, "I... what do we know?" My mother softly chuckled. I then clenched my fists, fighting back tears as I said, "That you and dad knew that Sonic will keep his distance from me from now on?" My mother's eyes widened as her mouth gaped open, maybe wanting to speak. But instead, she just chose to stay quiet. "Why...?" I sobbed, tears now running down my cheeks. "It was clear that your life is always gonna be in danger whenever you're with him. That's why we agreed, even Mary agreed to it." My mother said in a gentle voice as she wiped my tears away. "Sonic did this for you to be safe. We just want to protect you--" I then cut my mother off, "But what's the point of being safe when in the end, he's still thinking that everything that has happened to me is because of him!" I sobbed. I then felt my mother hug me as she rested her head on mine, and because of that, I began to cry more. 

"I don't want him to think of that way..."

...

"Because he has already suffered enough." I cried before I eventually fall asleep due to exhaustion.

It was now the first day of us ignoring each other, and what a day this was when it was still morning. I have already passed by him twelve times already, and each time, I tried to make it seem all-natural and not pretend at all. And while I struggled to ignore him and stop doing such habits such as giving him a middle finger or sticking my tongue out at him, he didn't seem at all bothered by all of this at all. And as I stood in front of my locker, my eyes following him as he passed by me easily with no struggle at all, I realized that I was just like any other person in this world. Just admiring him in this distance, makes it seem like nothing has happened to us at the start. I then felt my heart hurt a bit, causing me to stop getting the things I need for my next class and touch the spot where it hurt. "Are you okay Amy?" I heard Cream ask. I look at her in surprise, "No-no! Let's go or we'll be late for the next class." I faked a sigh as I quickly closed my locker door shut. 

It was like this for a couple of days, we'll pass by each other and continue our day. And during Tuesdays, where the two of us were partnered as Library-mates, he won't even come. And so I sat there all alone, studying all by myself. For the first few days, it was hard to get used to being alone during that time. But as more Tuesday's passed by, it has now become a norm for me that I didn't even bother to wait for him secretly. And after the period ends, I'll return to my daily routine of classes and hang out with my friends. For the first few days, I cried silently on my bed. But now, I got used to it quickly that I didn't mind already if he was near me or not. I felt my heart get lighter, and I began to smile again. During weekends, I get to play with my dog and hang with my family and friends. During school days, I take my classes diligently and hang with my friends. However, there were times when I felt like something was missing. A hand to hold, a laugh that I wanted to hear, a sassy remark from a person... but I just brushed it off as if there was nothing there ever to begin with.
