(Sonknux) changing the heart

Chapter 6 - comfort a broken soul/turn down

A few moments later Sonic sat down next to his brother... Sonic felt so guilty as he whispered, stupid stupid me its all my fault... he cried in tears and whispered, I...I didn't wanted to happen...it's all my fault....it's all because of me I said such terrible things to him and this happened....oh what have I done?....it's all my fault.... that's when Sonic hears footsteps in front of him...he looks up to see Knuckles with a concern look on his face... along with some kids from his school...(Hailey, Mina, Shepp, Trevor, Benny, Curtis, Mami, <M-Amy> Shadow, and Vince) with sad and concern looks on their faces... Sonic whispered, your...*sniff*...your mad at me....*sniff*...all of you...*sniff*...I know...I screwed up....*sniff*...just...leave me in shame.... Trevor said in a guilty-like tone, were not mad Sonic...it's just that...we wanted to...start over with you....plus we wanted to be here for you....we probably wouldn't have if your friend haven't called us all...* Sonic looked at Knuckles who gave him a sign that he did it for him*....look there's no reason for you to blame yourself.... Sonic whispered and cried, well I should...I'm the reason he tried to commit suicide....if I haven't been so nasty...I would've....and it's all my fault....I've been so nasty that I didn't know what I was saying...I've screwed everything up...I've been nothing but cruel to everyone...it's really my fault...I sad such terrible things to him...I told him I hated him and I wished him dead...I didn't mean this to happen...now cause of me he's...*he's started to cry*... there was silence for a moment until Knuckles said, no...it's true you were nasty to us but it wasn't your fault...we've been so horrible to you...we were the ones who made you this way...that we didn't realize...I'm the one to blame for this...I should've realized your feelings earlier...I shouldn't said those things to you....if anyone's at fault...it's me...all the cruelty...,I deserved it....we all did... Sonic was a little surprised to hear it... but was more surprised as Trevor said, no it's my fault....I didn't help you on your test the other day.... Hailey interrupted, no it's my fault...I've been rejecting his acting more instead of accepting it... Mina interrupted, no my fault...I was too cold and too cruel to let him in our club...even when he was anxious to join... Shepp said in shame, it wasn't your fault...it's mine...I was a completely stupid fool to not hang out with someone fun as him... Curtis said in guilt, if anyone's at fault it's mine...I didn't allow him to join the soccer team... Benny said in heartache, no me...I pulled that yogurt joke on him...I meant it to be a joke....I didn't mean to hurt anyone... Shadow said nothing but was just as guilty as everyone... then Vince said, no my fault....I was a complete idiot to lock him in the janitors closet....it was meant for Shepp not him Shepp... Shepp yelled, WHAT?! Then Mami said, actually I'm at fault...I didn't invite him to my birthday party....not even one of my parties.... Trevor said, no it's my fault.... Mami interrupted, no my fault... Vince said, no it's my fault.... Shepp said, no my fault... then everyone argued about who's to blame...accept Knuckles... Shadow whispered to him, hey....look....your classmate doesn't know you but I recalled he thought you were special...you should tell him why...don't worry about what he thinks... Knuckles nodded as he looked at the floor in guilt.... Knuckles hesitates for a minute then grabs Sonics hand as Sonic stood up and ran to the empty part of the hallway... Shepp said, hey where are you going with Sonic?.... meanwhile Knuckles and Sonic ran in the hallway until they reached an empty patient room... then Sonic still in tears said, what is the matter with you?...dragging me away when my brother is lying on his death bed? Knuckles looked at Sonics eyes for a moment and said in a guilt-tone, .....listen....I really am sorry....I wish I could just go back in time and correct the mistake I made on that day I hurt you...but I guess...it isn't gonna happen...what I did to you...I know...it's unforgivable...the damage is done I know....But....I'm so sorry...for what I said....I didn't think...*Sonic was angered as he was still in tears*..you must understand...Shadow and me had a reason to bully everyone...*Sonic attempted to ignore him but when he said a reason his expression changed*...I've been the same as you but......we had a rough childhood...and I didn't like it one bit....we ran away from our home because we were...abused...*Sonic gasped* we stayed in a children's-home and we took out our anger on people that kept pretending to be nice....no one loved us one bit....*Sonic felt guilty for him...<thinks> so that's why...he was afraid to be hurt too...but can I trust him?...* when I realized what I did....I...I got so caught up in it....I didn't realize how much trouble I caused you...the principal told us one more wrong move and we would both be expelled...*Sonic was confused....<thinks> the principal?....must've had enough of this bullying nonsense*... *cries*...I'm so so sorry...I...when I realized that I had feelings for you....I was too late...*Sonic thought he was kidding but that's when he realized that he wasn't* I was so jealous because of Felix...despite the fact that you were best friends with him....I couldn't help it...*cries more as Sonic sees the tears*.....I couldn't win your heart no matter how hard I try.....he's right....I'm nothing more but a heartless echidna....and we're both different.....I've been so foolish....please....I know that we all made you like this...but it's mostly me....please forgive me.... Sonic looked at him in guilt...as he thought of his brother...Sonic whispered, so...all this time....all this time you were in pain and you didn't tell anyone?....why are you telling me this?...I don't...he was cut off and gasped when Knuckles shows him a beautiful blue and red rose necklace... he puts it around Sonics neck... Knuckles said as he was still in tears, I saw you looking at it...the other day...*then Sonic was more surprised as he holds a letter in front of him*...I know this is a bad timing....and I know this is not the time....but I wanted to ask you...please....please go out with me....please Sonic.... Sonic hesitates and then takes the letter....he carefully opens the letter....hoping it wasn't a joke....that's when he sees no surprises....nothing but a plain piece of paper...then as Sonic opened the letter as it simply says I love you....I'm sorry... Sonic looks at him and said with a shameful tone, I really want to....but I can't....*gives him the letter back*...I don't know you....it was a mistake that day to ask you....sure were in the same class but we don't know each other...my name is so stupid....there nothing special about being named Sonic when I know I don't have a stupid chance in this dam world and I can't stand myself anymore...I'm sorry...but I'm not ready for this....I knew I wasn't from that day....even if I lost what I was...despite the fact that I'm an outcast, being best friends with Felix, & I can't be the same anymore...*he takes off the necklace and returns it to Knuckles*....so...I'm sorry...I can't...I can't be around you...I'm turning you down I'm afraid....Sonic walked out as Knuckles fell on his knees.....seeing that Sonic doesn't feel the same way....at least not anymore... Sonic walked back into where his brother is...to his surprise he sees Trevor in there... when Trevor noticed him he said as Sonic walked in, hey...everyone was getting hungry so they went down to the hospital cafeteria...I didn't wanna leave... Sonic whispered as he took a seat next to his brother, why ever not? Trevor said in tears, it's just....I know you haven't heard...My sister Tory...she...she's dead... Sonic gasped and said, wh...what happened? Trevor explained, I found her in her room...she hung herself...and that was 3 days after Felix's death. Sonic whispered, I see...so she haven't found her feelings towards Felix until it was too late... Trevor said, believe me...Felix's parents weren't very understanding but when they heard he was killed...they couldn't stop blaming themselves... Sonic wanted to say anything but he didn't know what to say....then he said in a guilt-tone, I'm so sorry about Tory Trevor.... Trevor said, don't worry about it.... then he heard a familiar groan as he sees his brother waking up...
