Author's P.O.V. 
Shadow: 
Come to my house so we can finish the project. 

Sonic looked at his phone and sighed. He was still mad at Shadow for telling Fleetway where he was at and was still feeling like shit for their agreement, he felt more depressed than ever. He put his phone away and dashed to his house then knocked on the door.

The door opened and Shadow looked at the smaller one with an expression he never had before, he didn't want him in his house, but he didn't want to fail either so he had to do it. 

"Come in, I have to go in two hours so this will be quick." He said sternly and let the smaller hedgehog walk in, he looked very mad.  

Sonic rolled his eyes, he didn't even look at him and walked in. He went to sit down on the couch and pulled out the laptop.

The ebony one did the same and started typing on his laptop, the silence was deafening in the living room as they did the project, but half way through Shadow spoke up. 

"I thought you changed schools to get way from Fleetway." 

"That was one of the reasons but thanks to you, he found me." He rolled his eyes and kept going through the notes. 

"Excuse me?" Shadow raised a brow, getting mad at the attitude Sonic had. "Thanks to me?" 

"Oh come on. You're the only one I have even talked to, and told about Fleetway. You made me do things I didn't want to just because you hate me and I am STILL AN IDIOT to let you not get in trouble. You hate me and I know you did that just to get me MORE hurt than I already was from what YOU WERE DOING TO ME!" Sonic snapped then he rubbed his face, they were tears streaming down his muzzle. He shook his head. "You know what? I don't care if you tell others, you'll get in trouble with the guards. I'm done. I don't care if I fail." He started getting his stuff to leave, but before he reached the door, he was pinned on the wall by Shadow. 

"I did NOT tell that guy where you lived." He growled. "I didn't do it to get you hurt because I hate you!" His ear was twitching from how mad he was. "If you don't believe me, then that's your fucking problem." He pulled away and crossed his arms. "Leave my house. NOW. and don't EVER dare to even look at me again, bitch." 

"How could I believe someone who keeps hurting girls just because he is horny." He grabbed his stuff. "Don't worry, I won't ever do such a thing, asshole." He dashed off. 

"Such a fucking idiot!" Shadow growled and slammed the door then walked to his room. "He thinks I told him where he lives at." He started talking to himself. "I'm sure that guy will be worse than me." He scoffed then growled at the thought. "I don't care if he does, he's just a stupid Prince who thinks he owns everyone. His Mother wouldn't even be alive without me." 

Sonic dashed off to his house and broke down once he slammed the door to his room. He locked in and laid down, he didn't care if anyone was home. 

"Sonic?!" Manic gasped and jumped at the sudden noise then ran to his brother's room. "Bro! What happened?!" He dropped his ears. 

Sonic walked to the door as soon as he calmed down and shook his head. "Nothing. I'm fine." He stuttered. 

"You sure...?" The green hedgehog said softly. "Did you fight with someone?" 

"Shadow pissed me off." He rolled his eyes. 

"What did he do this time? He didn't get Sonia, right?" Manic's ears perked up. "Righ?!" 

"No, I confronted him about him telling Fleetway where we go to school. I snapped at him and he snapped at me." He rolled his eyes. 

"What? He told Fleetway? But how... Why,,,?" MAnic was confused. "Are you and Fleetway together now?" He rubbed his face as he tried to understand what's going on. 

"He said he didn't and yes... We are..." He confessed. 

"Please be careful with him." The young thief sighed. "And Shadow..." He felt sorry for his brother. "Tell if one of them tries anything, I'll take care of it." 

"I can handle it. Just... I'm taking a day tomorrow, I'm not going to school, I need rest or I'll probably faint. If Fleetway asks for me, don't tell him where we live, if a teacher asks, say I'm gone. I don't want anyone bothering. Tell Ma that I am sick because I'm turning off my phone as well. I don't want to be bothered, I just want to sleep." He groaned. 

"Alright." Manic nodded. "Are you going to be okay alone? I gets pretty lonely in here." 

"Why? Do you want me to keep you company?" He chuckled.

"Well. Yeah." Manic shrugged. "I just want to make sure you're okay. You may be able to protect yourself, but having some help really helps." He wrapped an arm around his brother's neck. "Why don't we go see a movie together? Only me and you?" 

Sonic smiled softly and nodded. "Sure. Let's go." He was happy that he had his brother with him. He felt bad for what he said to Sonia. "I need to apologize to Sonia..." He sighed.

"Let her calm down a bit, we can visit the castle on Friday." Manic shook his head. "You need to calm down too." 

"Yeah... I know..." He looked at him. "Let's go." He smiled.

The two brothers got ready and went to the city, they ate some chili dogs, ice cream, popcorn at the movies. 

In a few words, they got full. 

When they got home, since the green one was too lazy to go to his room, he laid on the couch and groaned. "Remember when we slept on the same bed when we were little?" 

"Yes. Why?" He chuckled as he sat down in the other couch.

"I got lonely." Manic chuckled. "That sounded nasty." He sat up. "But, yeah." 

Sonic laughed. "I did too. I am so used to having you and Sonia around."

"Same." Manic grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around him then laid down. "Go get your blanket and come here." 

"You want me to sleep with you?" He chuckled at his brother. "You better not kick me off." He rolled his eyes and dashed to get his blanket then back to Manic and laid down.

"Can't promise." The green hedgehog chuckled and hid his face in the blanket. "Night."

"Well, news everyone, the triplets have unenrolled from this school today so they will no longer be with us." The teacher told the class and looked at the board as he moved on with the topic of that day. 

"So soon?" Rouge mumbled from her desk. 

"What?" Shadow raised a brow. "Why?" He rested his head on his palm as he whispered to himself. 

"And I was starting to like Blue. Maybe they left because of Fleetway, I don't doubt he didn't hurt Sonic, he was being too overprotective of him and chasing him around." She pouted lightly and chuckled softly. 

"That dumbass." The ebony hedgehog sighed. "At least he won't bother me anymore..." He tried to convince himself. 

"Over here." Sonic was walking down the hallway with Manic, they had gone to unenroll and to get all of their stuff from their lockers. 

The teacher looked at them from the window and waved at them goodbye then continued with the lesson. 

Shadow glanced at the two hedgehogs and sighed quietly, not knowing why he felt so awful, he didn't pay any attention to class, he was spaced out as he tapped his pen on the notebook. 

Sonic was getting his stuff from his locker. He could be seen from the door of the classroom but he wasn't turning around. He finished getting his stuff and smiled at his brother. He had never smiled in school before, it was a sincere and soft smile. "Let's go?" He asked his brother.

"Yep." Manic chuckled as he carried his things. "Let's go." 

"Well, I guess they really are leaving. Guess you didn't get to be with their sister but at least the blue one won't ever bother you again." Rouge said as she watched them leave.

"Mhm." Shadow hummed in agreement, not listening. 

"Hun, are you okay? You've been spacing out lately, haven't really been yourself." She raised a brow. 

"I'm just tired." the ebony hedgehog quickly answered. "I'm fine." 

"Alright then." She mumbled, not believing what he said. She watched as the azure one and his brother waved at the teacher and the principal as they left.

~~~
"Hey Ma." Manic smiled when he saw Aleena. "We're back!" He chuckled. 

"Hey Ma." Sonic smiled as well. 

"Hi sweetie, you could had told me, I could have called the guards to help you move out." She walked to her kids and hugged them.

"We wanted to surprise you." Manic hugged back and looked around. "And someone else." He mumbled. 

"Sonia is in her room, she hasn't really been coming out lately." She sighed. "Maybe you two can cheer her up." She smiled softly at them.

"Will do." The green hedgehog nodded and went to his room then left his things. 

The azure one dashed to his room and put his stuff down then lowered his ears and sighed. He dashed to his sisters' room and knocked on the door knowing it was his fault she was like that. 

"Come in!" Sonia hummed as she looked at her phone, thinking it was the maid. 

Sonic opened the door slowly. "Hey sis..." He said softly with his ears lowered.

The Princess gasped quietly and looked at Sonic. "S-Sonic...?" 

"I wanted... To apologize for what I said... I'm really sorry... I hadn't slept and I was in a really bad mood but that was really no excuse to say that..." He looked down. 

"It's... It's okay..." Sonia mumbled and stood up. "Are you alone...? What are you doing here...?"

"Manic and I moved back here. I couldn't stand being there so I guess for now I'll have to handle the guards and everything." He chuckled. "Can I have a hug?" He smiled sheepishly. 

Sonia quickly hugged her brother and sobbed lightly. "I missed you."  

Sonic's ears perked up and gasped then smiled and hugged back tightly. "I missed you too sis. I'm really sorry." The triplets grew up really close to each other so he hated when they would fight. 

 "I missed you both." Manic chuckled at them as he stood with his arms crossed. "But no hug for me?" 

"Come here, bro." Sonic chuckled and extended his arm for Manic.

"Nah, I'm good." Manic chuckled. 

Sonia rolled her eyes playfully and grabbed her brother's wrist then pulled him in the hug. 

The azure prince softly laughed and pulled away after a bit. "Let's go eat something."
