Sonadow I Need You

Chapter 6: Tell the Truth or Keep Secrets?

Sonic's POV

I woke up laying down on a bed. I didn't know where I was until I realized I was in my room. I see there's bandages around me and the worst part is I saw bandages on my wrists and my eyes went wide open. "Oh no, they must've seen my cuts" I said in a low whisper. "Tails and Knuckles must be worried about me. I don't know if I should tell them the truth. If I do, Jet will kill me, I can't risk it" I said while looking at the curtains. I can see that it's night time. I look at my clock and see it's 3:30am in the morning. "Wow, I've been passed out for that long" I said. I'm not sure if I should stay here or leave. If I stay, they'll ask me questions and try to make me talk about what really is going on. If I leave, they'll be worried about me and look for me. Either way, both ways is a lose lose. I wanted to leave because I know they're going to ask me a bunch of questions and there's no way I'm going to tell them. I felt pain inside me and the only way I get rid of my pain is with my blade. I tried to get up off my bed and stand up. I tried to walk but I'm badly hurt that I fell on the floor. "Ow.... for chaos sake, I hope no one heard that" I said while trying to get up again. I limped and it caused me to fall again, "ow.... dammit" I said while just crawling my way to the bathroom. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. "Look at yourself Sonic, you can't even take care of yourself, let alone be happy" I said while taking my blade out. I unbandage my wrists and take a long look at them. "Well, here goes nothing, I just hope no one comes in" I said. I started cutting my wrists and I started to cry. "When will I ever be happy?" I asked myself as I fell to my knees. 

Shadow's POV

I was having a nightmare. I was dreaming that Sonic was in the hospital, hooked up with tubes and he looked badly shaped. "Sonic?" I said while starting to tear up. I walked up to him and stood next to him. I shook him, "Sonic?" I said but he didn't answer me and I got scared and started shaking him more. "SONIC!? PLEASE BE OKAY!" I yelled and scared that I might lose him. I felt a hand touch me and I looked to see Sonic holding my hand. "Why didn't you protect me?" he asked me. "Wha-what?" I asked while looking at his what was once emerald green eyes are now dull green eyes. "You didn't protect me, let alone confront me about my depression" Sonic said starting to close his eyes. "Wa-wait! don't go, please. I'm sorry, I should've done something, please don't leave me!" I yelled while crying. "It's all your fault Shadow" Sonic said while his eyes finally closed. "NOOOOOOOOOO, PLEASE, DON'T LEAVE ME, I LOVE YOU!" I cried and cried. I woke up panting so much. I touched my eyes and felt water. I must've been crying but dreaming that nightmare was no fun. I got up and went to get a drink of water. I checked to see the time, "wow, it's 3:50am, thank chaos no one heard me wake up" I said while pouring water in the cup. While I was drinking water, I heard a thud sound. "That sounds like it came from upstairs" I walked upstairs to investigate what that sound was. I heard crying in Sonic's room. "Is he awake?" I said while turning the knob. I walked in and didn't see him on his bed. "Sonic?" I said in a low whisper. I looked at the bathroom door and see it's closed. I walk to it and try opening it but it was locked. I pressed my ear on the door and I can hear crying. I knocked on the door, "Sonic, is that you?" I asked while trying to listen. I got no response and I got a little worried. "Sonic, it's me, Shadow" I said hoping he answers me. I still got no answer, so, I was about to knock down the door until I heard him. "Shadow, is it really you?" He asked me but he didn't open the door. "Yes, it's me Sonic, open the door" I said with a gentle voice. I still have to try to get him to talk to me what happened to him. 

Sonic's POV

SHIT! Shadow is right outside of the door. What do I do? I can't let him see that I was cutting myself. I grabbed the bandage and started to bandage my wrists so he won't notice that I took them off. "Can you give me a sec....please?" I asked him hoping he won't get suspicious. "Alright, I'll be sitting on your bed" Shadow said. I heard him walking away and that's when I knew he was gone. "Okay Sonic, if he touches you on the wrists don't wince" I said while looking at myself in the mirror. I opened the door and walked out to see Shadow sitting on my bed. I walked to him and sat next to him. "How are you feeling?" Shadow asked me while looking at me but I didn't want him to see my face. "I'm alright, how did I get here?" I asked while looking down at the floor. "I brought you here, I found you passed out in the park" Shadow said sounding a bit worried. "Oh...." I said to Shadow. It was silent until Shadow spoke up. "Sonic, what happened to you?" Shadow asked me. That was the question that I feared the most. I didn't answer, I just kept looking at the floor. "Sonic, you know you can tell me" Shadow said as his hand tried to reach my wrists but I moved my arm away. Shadow sighed, "Sonic, please, I care about you and I don't want to lose you. Can you please tell me what happened to you?" Shadow asked me and I didn't know if I should tell him or not. It's either tell the truth or keep this a secret. I started to remember Jet's words. "Remember cutie, you better not tell anyone or you'll pay the consequences" those words came in my head. "Sonic?" Shadow said getting me out of my thoughts. I've decided to keep this a secret, I don't want my friends to get involved, especially Shadow. "Can we talk about this later in the morning, I'm pretty tired?" I asked Shadow as I glanced at him. "Sure, get some rest" Shadow said as he got up and walked towards the door. He was about to leave but he said one last thing that made me think, "and Sonic, just know that I'm always here for you, you can talk to me. I'll listen and I'll do anything to help you" Shadow said to me with a small smile. I looked at him and gave a fake smile, "thanks Shadow, it means a lot" I said to him and laid down. He left and I was just lying down thinking. "Can I trust him? Is it worth the risk? Do I tell him the truth or keep going with this miserable life?" I asked myself all these questions, these questions left me thinking but eventually made me fall asleep.
