Broken Brothers

Chapter 13

i sat in class, at the front, with my scars open for everyone to see and i didn't fell that presence anymore, but i still felt sad, after the incident this morning, i had felt different, the teacher's were happy to see me, and i knew Knuckles felt guilty about what he did

i sat taking notes, until the bell went and i packed my things and i purposely waited for everyone to leave first 

"it's good to see you back" my maths teacher smiled at me and i nodded "if there's anything you need to talk about, just come to me" she smiled

"of course" i replied as i walked out and went to my locker, i didn't care what anyone thought of me any more, i didn't feel anything to them

i looked at my locker and saw more notes...but they were different...there was also flowers and...and a picture...

i grabbed the picture, it was of me and Knuckles when we were kids...before my life went to hell, we had our arms over each other's shoulders as we did silly faces as we looked at the camera, i grabbed one of the notes

'i'm sorry...i never should have betrayed you...i never should have let our friendship die. never should have hurt you like i did...i truly am sorry Sonic -Knuckles' i felt tears falling from my eyes as i grabbed another note

'i'm ashamed of what i did....and i've always felt guilty about it, i know you will never forgive me...but i'm sorry for everything i've done -Jet' i grabbed another and another

each one from someone who bullied me...told me to go die, who told i was nothing...more and more pictures i uncovered under the endless apologies, more and more of them about broken friendships, broken trust and love confessions.....but some still were threats and i didn't care for those

more and more tears fell from my eyes.....they....actually cared....when the bell went i was just sitting here against the wall reading all the notes that had appeared on my locker, tears in my eyes as my heart slowly mended itself, but many piece's would remain missing and all the pain will remain...but....at lest i knew what everyone thought

"Shadow! look!" Rouge shouted as she pointed at the ground in front of us, were our team laid still and motionless

"they gave into their dreams,fantasises and desires...unlike the both of you" that same angelic voice laughed "now? now their souls are mine"

"we need to get out of here" i said to Rouge she only nodded

"there is no was out" she said as she towered over us

"there's always a way out, because then how'd we get in?" i smirked as her eyes widened, i knew it "wake up Rouge" i said

"huh? what are you talking about?" She asked

"wake up, she's in our heads" i chuckled 

and the one who had done this began to shrink in size as she started screaming in fear and rage

"you can never beat me" i said as i faded back to reality, i awoke in the same place i had been in moments before, the cave and right in front of me was the chaos emerald, my team laid scattered around me, none were breathing, except for Rouge

i pulled out my phone to discover something that made my eyes widen...i had been gone for months when i was only meant to be gone for a week

"hun?" Rouge was confused at what i was looking at

to be continued
