Long Time No See

Chapter 6

(With Sonic)

Sonic made it back to his room and kicked the wall. "God I hate that guy!" He yelled in frustration.

He sat down on his bed and tried to calm down. Suddenly his phone rang.

S: Hello?

?: Hey Sonic, Silver.

S: Oh, hey Silver. What's up?

Sil: Um nothing much but, do you know the black and red hedgehog hanging out with Scourge?

S: My roommate Shadow. Why?

Sil: Well, I was in the cafe and I saw you guys hanging out. Then when you left I was going to see what was wrong with you then I heard Scourge talking to your roommate.

S: Wait, How do you know Scourge.

Sil: He's in my fraternity. I don't live in the house anymore because of him. He's been here for one year and he's already so cocky and gets so drunk whenever he can. He's a real jerk.

S: Yeah he is, he just made me mad. Do you know what they were talking about?

Sil: Well, Shadow tried to defend you and Scourge got up in face. He looked really mad. Then Shadow seemed kind of scared. Do you know if he's okay?

S: I hope so, Scourge is Shadow's boyfriend.

Sil: I don't see why. Scourge is rude to everyone.

S: I don't see it either. But Shadow's my friend. I can't just tell him his boyfriends a jerk and tell him to break up with him.

Sil: I get that.

S: Well, Thanks anyway Silver.

Sil: Your welcome Sonic. Call me if you wanna talk.

S: I will, bye.

(Hangs up)

Sonic gets even more mad at Scourge after learning about this. 'Now Scourge is showing his true colors around Shadow. I can't tell whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.' Sonic thought.

There was a knock at the door. "Sonic? Can you open the door? My hands are full?" A voice asked.

It was Shadow.

Sonic got up and opened the door. It revealed Shadow holding his vanilla bean and Sonic's frappe.

"I brought you your coffee." Shadow said as he walked in and sat on his bed.

"Thanks Shadow. Sorry I ran off like that. Scourge just knows how to press my buttons." Sonic said as he took a slip of his coffee.

"I'm really sorry about that Sonic. I didn't know he was going to do that. I wouldn't have brought him if I knew he was going to do that." Shadow apologized.

"It's fine Shadow. It's not your fault. At least we can talk now." Sonic said.

Shadow nodded. "Yeah."

"So, on a more serious note. And don't get defensive or anything. But-"

"What?" Shadow asked.

"Does Scourge ever make you feel unsafe or like you have no control?" Sonic asked.

"I don't understand what your asking Sonic."

"What I'm asking if that do you feel like Scourge is not good to you. Does he call you names? Make you uncomfortable?"

Shadow's expression changed from confusion to disbelief. "Sonic are you asking me if he's abusing me?" Shadow asked.

"I'm just asking because-"

"Sonic, he loves me. Why would you even ask that?"

"I know him Shadow, and I care about you! I just want you to be safe."

Shadow was starting to get fed up with what Sonic was saying, but he didn't want to ruin their new friendship.

"Sonic, he treats me right. I appreciate your concern for me but I'm in a very happy relationship and I don't want to mess up our friendship. So please don't say things about my boyfriend." Shadow gently stated.

"Okay, I trust you Shadow. But I still don't trust Scourge. But I'll deal with him for your sake." Sonic compromised.

"Thank you Sonic."

Suddenly Shadow's phone started ringing. Shadow pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the screen. "It's Scourge." He said and answered it. "Hello?....yeah he's still here...why?....okay okay..." Shadow pressed the speaker button. "Okay your on speaker."

"Hey Blue! Still upset with me?"

"Give it rest Scourge. What do you want?" Sonic spat.

"Alright Blue, don't get testy. I want to invite you both to a frat party this weekend. It's like a back to school bash or something. I know Stripes is in. Are you?"

Sonic thought about it for a second. 'I know Scourge is gonna try something with Shadow at that party. I need to keep my eyes on them.'

"I'm in."

"Good, I'll give Stripes the details tomorrow during our little meeting at our usual spot~"

"Okay Scourge, I'll see you tomorrow!" Shadow squeaked in embarrassment and hung up the phone.

Sonic let out a laugh.

"Shut up." Shadow snapped still embarrassed.
