Over The Edge

-A few weeks later…-
[i]Sonya had been so wrapped up in what felt like an indefinite
on going state of euphoria these past couple of weeks. For while
the dark thoughts that tried to ruthlessly plague her mind, took
a reluctant back seat, and everything fell into place the way it
should have. She supposed being swept up in an active romance
really was taking it’s toll on her. Not that she minded,
with Scourge she felt safe, reassured, comforted, she’d
always imagined what falling for someone would be like, and so
far the experience met all her expectations. Weak knees,
butterflies, and kisses that made her insides melt even weeks
after whenever flashbacks of their ice-cream date sprang to mind
her pulse quickened and her muzzle flushed up a couple of
alarming shades of crimson the mere thought of how she tasted
the mixture of tobacco and mint ice cream on her tongue made her
giddy that or she was just developing a second hand addiction.
She couldn’t picture herself being any happier than she
was now, but then as they often say all good things must come to
an end.
After a night of tossing and turning rather relentlessly, she
eventually come to the conclusion that she clearly wasn’t
going to get any decent amount of rest. Swinging herself gently
out of her pink bed, the tiny fox yawned, stretched, and
proceeded to slip herself into her slippers, in that order. From
the moment she woke up, she knew that she felt somewhat off, and
not just your average ‘Damn I don’t feel so
great.’ No this off feeling was all to familiar and it
caused her heart to sink sullenly in her chest. Still she tried
to go about her usual night routine, opting out of getting a
snack, in favour of settling down to try and watch tv with the
intent to hopefully lull herself back into a forced daze. She
knew that Scourge wasn’t likely to be up and about at this
hour which was ok, she didn’t want to bother him merely
because she was having sleep issues anyway. Her eye lids half
heavy with sleep, as she wandered over to the sofa, and sat
herself down, she channel surfaced without much interest, until
her sensitive ears suddenly tuned in on a voice she knew all to
well. Ears raising high on her head, her posture suddenly stiff
as a board, Sonyas blue eyes glued to the screen, while she
watched her father, Quentin Quack trade banter and chat with
effortlessly expressed ease with a talk show host by the looks
of things, if she thought her heart sunk before, oh was she
wrong.
"So Doc pleasantries aside the big ask we have for you tonight
is .. what on earth is happening with that adopted daughter of
yours? I mean our sources tell us that she deals with a lot of
mental health personally, so we know that much, but you’ve
been very hush hush about her ever since she’s been off
the scene these past couple of weeks, it's been almost a month
now since anyone has seen her.”
[Leaning back in his chair, and smirking at the presenter.]
“Well Chad.. there’s not a whole lot to say on the
matter, Sonya unfortunately has been troubled mentally for years
now, and it was only a matter of time before her instability got
the better of her, I can’t personally tell you that
it’s come as much of a shock really, and I’ve been
keeping quiet about her to try and keep her reputation as intact
and dignified as possible you know? After all the girl had such
ambition to try and be a hero, and that’s a feat only a
handful can hold myself, Sally, Sonic for example .. but her
she’s always tried to hard but it looks like it just got
to much this time. Reluctant as I was to do so I took matters
into my own hands as far as Sonya is concerned, it was rather
upsetting really.. knowing that she was putting in so much
effort to not endanger the patients she cared so much for and
yet she ended up failing them anyway this goes to show that hero
work isn't for the faint hearted .. no matter, I’ve taken
precautions to make sure she’s currently getting treatment
in the best mental facility that money can buy! Nothing is to
good for my-“
That was as far as Sonya let him get, before the TV remote was
hurled with a force she didn’t know existed from her, the
remote damaging the TV screen with deafening CRACK sound. The
manically depressed fennec struggled to gather her thoughts in
order, she couldn’t think, she couldn’t breathe,
everything hit her at once. A ghastly sensation of self-loathing
and pain coursing through her, she broke into a panicked sprint,
eyes blurring with tears, heart thudding hard in her chest, the
more she tried to suppress her sudden assault of sobs, the
faster they came. She wasn’t entirely sure how she managed
to make it onto the roof of Scourges warehouse, but by the time
she did there was no going back. Ignoring the fact that if she
didn’t manage to kill herself tonight the backlash of flu
probably would, a shiver ran down her spine, as raindrops pelted
down on her fast and furious, soaking her to the skin, not that
something as trivial as that mattered now. Thoughts of her
parents flashing through her mind, she let out a hoarse scream,
frantically clutching her head in her hands her body trembling,
she was such a disappointment. Her entire life .. had it really
amounted to nothing? Did she really mean that little to everyone
who knew her? She didn’t know why she was asking herself
these stupid questions, of course she was insignificant everyone
back home probably wouldn’t realise she’d gone. Oh
god .. oh god.. thoughts of Amy, Koda,Umi, Rouge, Lukas, Louise,
and last but not least, Sonic flashed through her mind. She was
so selfish .. how could she do this..but then on the other hand
wasn't she doing everyone she knew a favour? and then there was
Scourge .. at the very least she’d slipped him a note that
she written prior, for a situation like this apologising and
explaining to him that the time they spent together meant more
to her than she could bare to express the saddest part of all
being that out of all the reasons she weighed up not to do it he
was one of the top ones. This was all to much, she
couldn’t do it anymore she didn’t want to keep being
a burden, a disappointment, the fennec that no one was going to
think twice about, the wanna be hero that never quite made it.
What she was about to do was for the best so why didn't it feel
that way? Taking unsteady shaky steps, Sonya stepped herself,
onto the very edge of the roof, small continuous sobs, getting
carried off into the breeze.
Tears trickling down her soft cheeks, she barely heard her
pained whimpers.
"I'm so sorry .. i'm so s-so sorry .. "

The scene was grim Sonya was starring into the abyss with the
voices in her head beckoning her to step over the edge; the
skies in the heavens above seemed as if they were crying for the
life that was about to be lost. An all too familiar woosh
followed by a gust of wind would rush through Sonya's golden
locks before they fell elegantly back on her shoulders as
roughed up red sneakers skidded across the gravel. "You know,
it'll take me a while to find another doctor but a friend like
you? That's a once and a lifetime deal....it'd be a real shame
to waste that life." Sonic's positive presence rang out like a
like a ray of hope piercing through the darkness and depression.
The way he spoke lifted the spirits while his voice was
confident and reassuring. "I've been looking for you, for weeks.
Sonya we all know you are an angel but there's no need to have
you knocking on heaven's door just yet."
He gave pause thinking on what to say next, he'd seen the verbal
lashing Quack had given on live TV and knew what she needed.
"Sonya, please step down from the ledge. Now we both know I
could just zip you off of there but this is a choice you need to
make. Look you saved my life.....when I came back from the
Deathegg I was a mess....the others said I wouldn't survive but
you never gave up on me. So I'm not going to give up on you.
Please don't do this...I may be a hero to everybody else on this
planet but...." The blue blur paused for but a moment as the
next part came right from the heart and also hurt him to say.
"Sonya, you're a hero.....my hero." He let those words ring in
her oversized ears before stepping closer and holding out his
hand.
"Look I know when you get anxious you like to hold my hand. You
look anxious, take my hand." He said only a few steps away from
his old friend offering his pure white glove in the most sincere
of ways. The way he spoke and acted with such valor it was easy
to see why Sonic was always pictured as larger than life. Sonic
may like to portray himself like a cocky showoff but under that
very rough exterior he had a heart of gold; it was this trait
that shone through whenever he was helping those in need of
rescue. Standing tall the blue hero offered a reassuring smile
the kind of grin that let you know everything was going to be
alright while extending his hand out just that tiny bit further.

[i]She wasn’t surprised at who arrived just at the
critical moment. For as long as she’d known him he’d
always had a knack for timing, and this time was no exception.
The feeling whoosh fluttering through her hair gave her the
faintest bit of hope for all not being quite lost for her yet.
The more he talked, the more the voices in her head begun to
fade into the background, granted it was taking the majority of
her willpower not to tune her friend out. But between his
sincerity and his kindness that spurred her own to battle her
inner demons, difficult as that was. Her tears spilling faster
and thicker as the minutes passed, the only sign that she was
taking in anything that he was saying at all, was the occasional
twitch of her large ears, which were now being rapidly blown
around by the breeze that contributed to the growing storm
around them. I've been looking for you, for weeks. Sonya we all
know you are an angel but there's no need to have you knocking
on heaven's door just yet."
So he had been looking.. and here she thought that he
wouldn’t have noticed that she wasn’t around. That
sudden realisation spread an oddly warming sensation through her
chest, although her expression remained monotone and blank on
surface. He wasn’t wrong and that much she appreciated, if
she took her life now it would hurt him and everyone else she
held dear, but this was her decision to make and if he had taken
this into his own hands and zipped her off this ledge like they
both knew he could, she definitely wouldn’t have forgiven
him. Still her pretty features remained blank as he contained
his heartfelt reasoning, but listen she did. In that moment
memories of Sonics recovery after he returned from the death egg
flashed back to mind, naturally everyone prepared themselves for
the worst, Quack told her that she was wasting her time trying
to save someone who was a lost cause by that point. Not that she
played attention to any of that, funnily enough at the time when
things seemed to be taking a toll on the usually optimistic hero
for the worst she’d told him similar to what he was
telling her now. That she was going to give up on him, and that
by the time she was through he was going to make a comeback more
fierce and forthcoming than ever, and he would be a living
legend she promised him that, and managed to make good on that
promise.Sonya, you're a hero.....my hero." His words slicing
through the thick fog of negativity that shrouded her mind, she
felt the reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks.
Turning herself carefully around on the ledge, baby blue eyes
met aqua blue ones, the faint hope that echoed within her
settled into something more solid. It was sad and distressing
that this was the person she actually was under all the
happiness she portrayed, but having Sonic see her like this,
however shameful it felt, it was also like a giant weight off
her shoulders. Hesitating for all but a moment, she slowly
reached out, knotting her fingertips in-between his own, as she
stepped herself down on the ledge, slowly one foot at a time,
with his support, her voice barely a whisper, yet she
couldn’t help but settle into familiar routine.
“Gosh blue .. how dare you be a second l-late.. (slight
stutter) when I’m about to throw myself to a gory death,
although I have to admit I could really get used to hearing you
gush so openly about me like this .. I mean the me being a hero
part very true .. listening to you say it was excruciating ..
thank you.” Stepping closer, the teeny fennec wrapped the
blue hedgehog tightly in her arms, whole small frame sinking
against him, as she broke down into silent sobs of gratitude.

Breathing a sigh of relief as she stepped down Sonic placed one
hand atop her head while using the other to give her a
reassuring pat on the back. "You know me, I always have to make
an entrance. It'd be a waste if you just ended up as a pretty
pancake." When Sonya agreed with his hero statement Sonic let
out a low growl briefly dropping his eyes to an unimpressed
glare. "You don't have to rub it in you know." Breathing deeply
with a happy sigh he placed his arms around the tiny fox letting
her get all her pent up emotions out. For a time the two stood
silently in the rain as Sonya's tears fell in tandem with the
constant downpour; a little later the rain subsided letting rays
of light pierce through the veil of dark clouds. Kneeling down
Sonic pushed Sonya's sopping wet locks from her face and wiped
away the tears that were streaming down her face. With a sincere
smile he looked into her eyes as he spoke. "It's normally you
giving me this speech but I want you to promise me you'll never
do anything this stupid ever again. I don't know where you've
been this past month but you're not moving back in with that old
duck. You're either getting your own place or living with
me....is what I'd say if I wasn't currently living in a
tent.....my house burned down. Maybe Amy will let you crash with
her; she's crazy about me she'll do pretty much anything I ask
her."

[i] Sonya had to hand it to him when he promised her that he
would always be there for her all those years ago, he meant it.
Still feeling entirely unsteady as she was helped from the
ledge, she was only faintly aware of his hand being gently
placed on her head, and his pat on her back though meant to
provide reassurance, caused her to shiver a little due to the
dampness of her clothing. Sniffling, the fennec wasn’t sure how
long they stayed like that, her buried in his arms, the rain
pelting down on them, but eventually much like her tears the
worst of the rain came to pass, the rays of sunlight peaking
through the clouds, reflecting off her soaked golden mane. Her
focus now on the blue hedgehog, she managed a ghost of a smile
looking back into his aqua irises, trying her best to somehow
make it back to a regular breathing patterns. Making sure that
her expression registered little beyond ‘surprise’ at his news
that his hut was no longer around, the female felt her large
ears droop heavily. “I promise..”
She wasn’t entirely sure if she meant it, but right now it was
what he needed to hear, so she would give him that much, and for
his sake she would make do on her promise no matter how much
pain she was in right now, the thought of making Sonic suffer ..
that was worse. “Sonic I’m sorry about your home burning down ..
i-if I do ever manage to get a place of my own you know that you
can come stay with me right?” Weak as her reassurance sounded,
Sonya at least hoped that it brought him a small amount of
comfort knowing that she would make things easier for him if she
was able. Listening to the rest of his speech, Sonyas stomach
churned anxiously at the mere implication of Doctor Quack.“Your
right.. separation from that environment at this point is better
for me.. anyway you don’t need to ask Amy .. i’ve got the whole
living situation covered ..i’m staying in a hotel off grid..
it’s no five star but it does the trick.. besides I don’t think
I’d be great company for anyone to be around right now.”

Without any further conversation Sonic picked his best friend up
carrying her like a blushing bride down from the drop of death.
He walked slowly down the stairs as what he had witnessed
tonight had shaken him up far too much to run; he had no idea
Sonya hated herself this much, she was his best friend and he
never even suspected she was this bad. With each step they left
behind Sonic became more and more anxious of what Sonya would do
to herself the moment he wasn't around. He couldn't bare the
thought of life without his best friend; no more movie nights or
long days spent walking around town talking on days past as they
reflected on their childhood. Sonic's expression turned grim as
the thought of committing Sonya to an asylum so she couldn't
hurt herself did cross his mind. He was a hero who could stop
any monster and defeat and villain however the demon of
depression was not his to slay but Sonya's. With all this terror
swelling inside of him even still he managed a smile as he held
her close stating. "Let's go home."
