Amy sighed, gazing for the umpteenth time at an old photograph. It wasn't just any old photograph… It was one where she and Sonic had posed, this time Sonic was actually having a genuine smile on his face. Amy tore her gaze from the picture and closed her eyes, feeling a few more tears leak out of them: Sonic was gone. He had left to 'save the world' again, and it had been a year already. She sighed again, the emptiness of the sound reminding her again how much she missed her blue hero. He always had witty remarks that would make her giggle, and she couldn't miss the twinkle in his eyes when she did so. She was certain that he loved her, but she questioned herself.
What if it was just pity? Sparks of friendship and nothing more? Tears pricked her eyes, but she angrily blinked them away. She was always crying. Ever since he left. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep. Her friends were getting worried. They all knew how lovesick Amy was for Sonic, how bad she became, even when they were only apart for a few minutes.
This form didn't suit her, either.
Amy was always the optimistic, cheerful one. This is how she pressed on with Sonic for so long. It brought the team alive and, even if Amy doubted it, it gave Sonic something to fight for, if not for the people.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Sighing, Amy picked herself up and sluggishly walked towards the door. The doorbell rang again before she made it to the door. Groaning, she opened the door carelessly. And then immediately fainted.
She managed to see a flash of blue and brown before she completely blacked out.
Amy groaned, peeling her eyes open. At first, she wondered where she was. The room was lit strangely and her fuzzy mind permitted her from thinking clearly. Then, it hit her like a sack of bricks.
Sonic!
She jumped up, stumbling as the world righted itself. She shook her head, determined to find out where he was. He would get a piece of her mind, that was for sure!
She walked down the hallway and peered into the living room. And her heart shattered.
Sonic was kissing a chipmunk.
Choking back tears once again, she raced away. She ran up the stairs, not even slowing down when he heard a loud, "Amy! Wait!" behind her. She sprinted, tears rolling down her cheeks, and slammed the door to her room. There, she curled up on her bed and… cried. For a long time. There was a small knock on the other side of the door. Amy sniffed, shouting, "Leave me alone, Sonic!" There was a very-Sonic-like chuckle on the other side, confirming Amy's guess. "Even after all that time, you still know the way I knock on the door?"
That. Was. It.
Amy practically threw herself off her bed, flicking her wrist to get her hammer. She flung open the door, creating a few cracks on the wall where the door crashed. Her eyes narrowed in fury, she swung her hand with her hammer back, ready to hit Sonic. Sonic just smirked, making her even more angry.
She swung, waiting for a satisfying snap of Sonic's spine. It never came. Surprised, she opened her eyes, to find Sonic holding her hammer before it could hit him. Sonic chuckled, and suddenly turned serious. "You know, Amy. I've moved on. I think you should do the same."
For this whole exchange, Amy had her head down. When she lifted it, she saw Sonic visibly flinch. Sure, she probably looked terrible. Sonic began first: "W-wha-?" Amy could barely keep from swinging again. Under her breath, she snarled, "Keep looking. This is what you did to me! Do you know how much I missed you?" Sonic looked guilty now, as if he never imagined this.
Amy, with fresh tears filling her eyes, turned away, and in a harsh whisper, added, "You and that… demon… should leave now." Sonic rounded on her, this time him being angry. "Don't call her that! She was there for me when you weren't!" Amy, now filled with unmatchable fury, turned back to him, baring her teeth. "WELL, YOU DIDN'T LET ME COME! YOU SAID IT WASN'T SAFE FOR ME! YOU THINK I'M A BABY! WELL, I'LL PROVE YOU WRONG! I THOUGHT I LOVED YOU! GUESS I WAS WRONG. JUST A JERK WITH A HERO'S NAME ON TOP!" With that, she slapped him, and made sure it stung. "GET OUT OF MY LIFE, BITCH!"
Sonic, now completely angry with Amy, glared at her with complete hatred. "Fine."
With that, he left. Taking that chipmunk with him.
