Shadow's POV

I remembered a flash of light, the smell of heated metal and burnt plastics. How it burned my nose. Dust was getting in my eyes, making them itch. That made me irritable. I rubbed the ash and dirt from my face as I rose up from the ground. It was still hard to see with all of the smoke in the air. I stumbled forward. I have to find him. I cried out his name "Sonic! Where the fuck are you?" I was getting mad. "Why did he take off without me? Idiot," I yelled his name again, "Sonic!" He never usually gets lost in these situations. I wiped my face again. It burns. I believed something had scratched my face. Probably some shrapnel from the explosion. Was it glass? Metal? I don't care right now, I just needed to find him.
"Sonic!" At first I was getting a bit aggravated, but now that I couldn't find him I was becoming angry. The more I looked, the more that panic started to sink in. I tried to be hopeful. He is the hero. He can't get hurt.
In the distance I saw blue fur. It's him! "Finally!" I got closer, then my heart shattered. My body went numb, my stomach felt empty, and my skin cold. He was not ok.

"SONIC!"

Weeks passed.

I've been visiting him regularly at the hospital. Everyday I go by just to see if there is any sign of improvement. I took my regular route up to his room. This place is depressing. The same greetings, same nurses, same blank walls and floors. Everything is too clean here. The halls don't even have a smell. Just chill air.

I made it to his room and reached out to open the door. My heart started racing. It's the feeling of thinking that when I open the door everything will be fine, but I'm also always second guessing it.
"Hey Shadow", a voice disrupted my thoughts. My ear twitched in the direction of the sound. I turned to see who it was. It's Blaze. She has been an intern here at the hospital for a while. "Hey" I responded back. There isn't much to say to her. Every day I hear the same thing, but she proceeded to ask me, "How are you doing today?"
"Same as always. Functioning." I answered.
"Shadow he has been in a coma for weeks, you need to take a break. You come here everyday and nothing has changed." She said,
I know
She kept going "If anything changes I promise I'll update yo-"
"I know!" She jumps back from my interruption. I think my response was a bit startling for her. I'm usually so calm and collected, but I just get so tired of hearing the same thing from her. From everyone.
"Sorry.. just let me keep doing my thing." I said.
"We are all worried about you. Are you even going to work?" She asked.
"Nah, I told them to let me retire from my missions, it was becoming mundane." I said.
I reached for the door handle, letting Blaze know that I would like to move on from this conversation. She said one more thing before I made my way through the door "Take it easy Shadow."

I closed the door behind me. It's quiet, all I can hear is the sound of lights buzzing, the hum of the air vents, and beeping from the machines. Nothing has changed. He is still laying there. Why did I think that anything is going different? I sat beside his bed. I've become numb from seeing him like this. Wraps of bandages around his head, being hooked to machines, and being asleep. This sucks. I'm so used to us fighting and mocking each other all the time. The sound of silence is loud. I ran my hand through his blue quills. One of my fingers graced the bandage wrap. I felt cold. A reminder of what had happened.

I jerked my hand back and I stood up beside his bed. "Why did I ever let you decide to tag along with me? You should have stayed home. You should have stayed away." My hands started shaking. I'm getting angry, but not at him, at myself. I slouched over and held myself up over the edge of the bed with my hands. Holding onto something helps the shaking stop. "I want to see you running around again." My face started to feel hot from my blood boiling. "I wanted to hear from you again!" I can feel the tears trying to break through. "I'm sorry I let this happen. I love you too much to let you sit here alone everyday by yourself"
