@_Sarahkins_ I have a request about that if that's okay. It's your book and I ain't going to tell you what to do with your book but if I can make a request. Do you think you could get the gang to start showing Sonic a little more compassion and understanding?
Because I know they're hard on him because they care about him and they don't want to see Amy getting hurt. But it just seems to me they could show him a little more compassion and appreciation as a friend. For example him putting Sally first. I realize Amy was hurt because of that but Sonic was in a committed relationship and while I committed relationship doesn't have as much value as marriage surely has asmuch commitment as marriage.
Plus while I agree that Sonic shouldn't have been so oblivious to the pain Amy was in due to Sally. The fact is Sonic still cared about Sally and usually if you care about somebody you don't want to believe that they're doing something wrong or that they're in the wrong.
And as for him lying to Amy about Sally coming back and getting the others to do the same. With all due respect to the Sonic gang. That's not substantially different from Amy not telling the truth about Sally to spare Sonic any pain
Plus she should have told him that she knew Sally was back and about her gathering information for Mark, she should have known that prom night was going to end in a bust given how Sally is in this story, she could have contacted Sonic even though he didn't contact her, she should have known that Sonic probably felt guilty about the whole thing hence why he didn't contact her, and she should also realize that all the pain she endured is just as much her fault as it is Sonic's fault. Had she stood up for herself and told Sonic the truth and he didn't listen then it would have been only on him but because she didn't it's on her too.
