Help me.

Chapter 2

Sonic's pov

I got to school late today, at least I'm here, but I slept through my alarm. Luckily only for five minutes. I think I'm going to get held back this year, I'm failing so many of my classes, I have too many lates, and too many absences. I made my way to my locker, I had science first which wasn't too bad, except for the fact that scourge sat behind me.

Oh, there's a kid passed out on the floor over there. Huh, I think that's Dave... God I hate it here.

It wasn't that bad getting to class, Scourge wasn't here, yet. He's always thirty minutes late, but his mom hooks up with the principal so he hasn't been expelled yet. If the principal was going to bang one of our moms he should have at least chosen someone with a hot mom, like Rouge.

I started to watch the door, praying Scourge wouldn't be in today.

Shadow... Is he dragging a kid? Maria wouldn't approve of that. Eh, not my business. He's the only one who remembers what happened during the shatter, so I can't really hate on him that much.

There's Amy. She finally got over her internalized homophobia, now her and Blaze are dating... I wonder how Silver's doing? Him and Blaze are separated since she lives with us now... As far as I remember he turned redder than Shadow's eyeliner whenever he saw Blaze
...

Ah, Shit. There's Scourge. I wonder why he hasn't used me being depressed against me? He saw me cutting, but he hasn't told anyone or brought it up... Eh, whatever.

I lay my head on my desk, trying to ignore the laughing coming from behind me, this asshole's been in school for like two minutes and he's already making fun of me? Pathetic, no wonder his dad left him. I feel a paper hit the back of my head, hear someone get up and put it on my desk, and then walk away. I grab the crumpled paper and unfold it "In the parking lot, 6pm, alone."

Shit.

~~~~~

I made it to the parking lot. See, normally just "parking lot" wouldn't be enough, but if you showed anyone in this town that note they'd know. He meant the old Denny's parking lot, people went there for tons of different things, fighting, hookups, weird dares, exploring the weird ass kitchen they had back there (It's a Dennys, why do they need a butcher knife?).

But I was worried because Scourge would bring me here for a different reason. He'd check my wrists, and then rip open the scars. He always got here after me, the first couple times I tried to cover them up, but he's smarter than that. I sat on my phone, waiting, it always took him an hour to get here, on the dot, I think we was just trying to test my patience. Today he'd be here at seven

6:30, I heard footsteps, he shouldn't be here yet. "Scourge?" I muttered, not looking up from my phone. "Not him. Why do you keep meeting with him?" I heard Shadow's cold voice, which is, and I mean this in a platonic, I think, was FUCKING HOT. I swear to god I would have gotten hard right then and there if I wasn't nervous as hell. I would not have. I am a straight man, I think.)

(Shadow is in bold for this section so you can differentiate :D)

"I have to. He knows something." "Knows what?" "I won't tell you." "Sonic, tell me." "No. It's not important." "If it's important enough for you to meet with Scourge I think it is." "I'm not telling you." "Tell me." "No." "Fine. But come to me if you ever want to get away from him"

He started to walk away. I can't let him, this is my chance. But what if he judges me? What if... What if he tells someone? No. I can't do this anymore. I can't let him leave. If he leaves then... Then I'll alone.

"Wait!" he turned back around, thank god. "Yes?" he questioned "I want to tell you." Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. Shit.

"Are you crying? Sonic, what's going on? tell me." he demanded, walking back over to me and grabbing my shoulders. I checked the clock, 6:45. "Scourge he... I... I have a problem, and he knows about it, and he's using it to hurt me." I sighed, god, that was hard... Haha, hard. "Problem? What do you mean?" he asked, how do I even tell him? I mean, I could show him. I pulled my zip up hoodie off and then rolled up my shirt sleeves, holding out my wrists for him to see. What if he hates me now? What if he tells someone? This was a bad idea, he's going to hate me, I should've never done this, at least Scourge wouldn't tell anyone, maybe if I just stuck with Scourge then-

"Do you have a therapist?" huh? I shook my head no, and Shadow hugged me. "Heh, funny story actually... My old therapist said she couldn't make it to a meeting cause of a family issue and never showed up again" I laughed, that was a true story "plus, I'm kind of broke" that was, unfortunately, also true. "I could pay for it?" Why would he offer that "N-No, I can't let you do that, it's fine, you don't h-have to spend money on me." he shakes his head "When Robotnik passed I got all of his money which was surprisingly legally gained" he sighs "Huh, I always thought he like, stole it?" "turns out when your dad's grandpa was a billionaire you have tons left over."

I checked the time, 6:45

...

...

"GERALD WAS-" "Sonic, volume." oh. That was oddly comforting... Sometimes when I went on missions with Shadow and I'd get loud that's how he'd quiet me down, I used to think it was annoying but now... Ah fuck I'm crying again. "Gerald was a billionaire?" Shadow sighs at that "is that not what I just said?" "Right, Right. I mean... I guess, b-but you don't have to!" "I know. I want to help you" Shadow insisted

"Sonic. Why the fuck are you talking to him?" 7pm.
