Chill Out! [ SonAmy Story ]

Chapter 27 • A Confession

Levi's POV: 

I watched her run back to school with that teary face of hers and smiled, "Goodluck, Amy." As I turned around to go also go back home, I suddenly heard something drop on the cold pavement and as I looked to find out what it was, my eyes widened. There, sitting on the pavement, was the pink butterfly clip I was supposed to give to her earlier. I knelt down and picked it up before I stood up again, but my eyes never left the clip. I gripped it and sighed, "Well, I guess this has no use now." I eyed for a trash can nearby and saw that there was one, so I walked up to it and was about to throw it when my hand stopped on its own. 

....

"What's the matter?" I heard a voice from behind ask me. 

I went quiet for a moment before I sighed again, "Nothing. Just discarding some feelings." I then let go of the clip and watch it fall in the trash, and without a second thought, I didn't even hesitate to go and take it back. "Well, you were fighting a losing battle at the start. So I understand why, but you could have given it to me instead. You know?" She laughed as I turned around to face her. I chuckled, "Have some self-respect, Via. I would never give you a gift that's meant for another girl, in fact, I would rather buy you something worth more than that clip." She rolled her eyes as she brushes off her hair, "I was joking, Levi. Say, wanna drink with me? I'm craving for some strong booze right now since I was being worked to death today." I nodded as I put my hand on her shoulder, "Sure."

And as I walked with Via to our favorite bar, the cold wind, as if it was intended, passed by us and I suddenly remembered that warm sunny day. And on that day, as if Heaven has taken pity on me, I met an angel. And that angel was none other than Amy herself. And when I've discovered that she's going to the same high school as me, I was excited to approach her. But of course, I didn't expect that she would be here with a boy who clearly loves her just like me. And at that moment, I have realized that I never had a place beside her at the start. 

But as if I was possessed, my body acted out on its own and I accidentally kissed her cheek. Of course, I didn't regret it, I too, in fact, also loved her. But alas, as if Cupid's purpose was to spread disappointment and despair instead of happiness, I have decided to just stay by her as the Yearbook club's president instead. So instead of trying to win her and keep her away from Sonic, I would just stand away to where I have always been and watch her be happy. So my only wish is that,

"I hope that you'll take care of her for me, and make her the happiest girl in the world." I drunkenly laughed as I made a toast with Via.

It was stupid of me to think that just because I ran back here, I would instantly see Sonic standing in front of our school building. But luckily, Via was heading out of the building when she saw me. So with her help, I was able to figure out that Sonic is on the rooftop. And now, as I slowly walk up the stairs to the rooftop, I was beginning to get more nervous with each step I took that will bring me closer to where Sonic is. Of course, who wouldn't? Everything is happening so fast, and I was still hesitant if I was actually doing this because I like Sonic or if I was just forcing myself. I then shooked my head, no. It would be better to actually confirm it for myself right now than to keep leading on Sonic. But if that's the case, would we ever still be friends? 

I quickly shook my head before I sighed, "No, stop overthinking. Of course, we would still be friends." I muttered to myself, stopping in front of the door that leads to the rooftop. I looked at the knob and held my breath as I try to open the door with my shaking hands, but before I could, the door suddenly opened, and out, comes Sonic. We stared at each other for a moment before I averted my gaze from him and retreated a few steps back before I awkwardly chuckled, "O-oh? F-fancy se-seeing you here! Why are you here? Sorry for interrupting, I guess I was too busy to notice that I was already wandering around--" I quickly turned around and prepared to run back downstairs, but before I could, I felt a hand grab my collar from the back.
