Out of the Slump~Shadamy

Pain in love

Amy's Pov

I wake up to a bright light beaming down from the sky. As my eyes adjust I can see that it's not the sky but a ceiling. I look around the room and am surprised to be in a hospital.

"What the..." I'm mumbling to myself and don't even notice when someone walks into the room.

"Ms. Rose! You're finally awake!?" A brown rabbit girl looks shocked to see me. Before I can even ask her anything she's gone through the door. A few seconds later she is back along with a reddish-brownish-colored squirrel doctor. He also looks shocked to see me.

"Hello Ms. Rose, I know you may be feeling a bit taken aback and overwhelmed," I nod, "Your friend brought you in early this morning. You were unconscious and I must say, ma'am, you need to do a much better job taking care of yourself. You are extremely malnourished and dehydrated, we weren't even expecting to see you awake today." I take in everything the doctor is saying, but still feel a bit lost.

"My friend?" I ask. I don't remember exactly what happened but I do know that I left my house alone this morning.

"Yes, your friend Mr. Hedgehog." My heart speeds up at the news of this. I can't believe it, Sonic brought me to the hospital. I haven't gotten to see or speak to him much since the night of the dinner. He barely even visits me anymore. What was he doing near my house this morning?

"He said to call when you woke up, so let us go do that. We will be back with some refreshments to get your energy up." With that, both the doctor and the nurse walk out of the room.

I'm left alone to my thoughts. There were so many. It feels unreal to think that I'm going to see Sonic, and maybe actually get to talk to him. I'm excited but also nervous. What is there to talk about? He is getting married to another woman. I can't just ask him, "Sonic why her and not me?"That's silly...

Although, I do wonder. What she has that I don't. Why he loves her so much...Why my feelings weren't reciprocated? I spent so long chasing someone in hopes that one day they would love me. In hopes that one day they would see me as more than just a fangirl, but as a woman, who they could cherish. It hurts to think about him loving someone else, but I still long for him. I wish it was me, even if the cold dark truth is that I'm the only one who feels this way.

The nurse comes back with a granola bar and some water for me to snack on. She says that they don't want me to eat too much at once because my body has been so badly neglected, it may have negative effects on me. I eat the granola bar halfway, to my surprise. The nurse stays and talks to me. She is around my age and very nice. Talking to her helps to keep my mind off of other things and I end up finishing the granola bar. About thirty minutes pass and she has to get back to work, so she leaves the room. Not too long after she leaves I can feel my anxiety rising again.

What is taking Sonic so long? Maybe he doesn't want to see me. I should've known better than to get my hopes up...

My pity party is interrupted by the door opening once again. I feel a rush of excitement course through me, I'm finally getting to see him after all this time!

Everything seems to move in slow motion. The door cracks open and a ray of light shines in. He's here. My excitement is immediately replaced by confusion when I see not Sonic, but Shadow who walks through the door.

I stare in awe at the black hedgehog, and he shifts uncomfortably under my gaze.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asks as he walks over to a chair by the door. In his hands is a brown paper bag.

"Good..." I'm still pretty surprised to see him, but it all starts to make sense. If the doctor was talking about Sonic he probably would've just said that. Everyone knows Sonic. I completely forgot that Shadow's last name was the same as his.
