A little piece from Amy's POV about Sonic and Sally's relationship.
I had learned a long time ago to move out of the way. When you had first dated her, I kept my mouth shut. What good would it do to voice my sadness? To express how I felt about it. To tell you how much you mean to me when I tell you daily how much I love you. You never listened though, you still don't. So, I did the only thing I could. I moved aside so you could be with her. I kept my feelings to myself, and let them out later when I was all alone in my room. I would hide myself in the darkness and let my feelings free. I would tell myself to never give up, to keep trying until my dream came true.
That made me feel a little better, but when I had to go back outside and see you holding hands with her, I wanted to run back to my room and never come out. I wish I could've hid there forever. I told myself to be strong, to just bear with it, but it still got to me. Every time I saw you with her it got to me. I never told you, I never told anyone. I kept it to myself. Who would listen? No one took me seriously. I was just a little girl with a crush on Sonic, and that's all I'll ever be.
It had gotten to the point where I would support your relationship. I would suggest places to go, things to do, gifts to give her. You would accept my advice with a smile and a wink. You still didn't understand how I felt. You still didn't take me seriously.
After a while, I stopped hanging out with the Freedom Fighters. I would still go to meetings and participate in missions; I would just…not spend time with any of them outside of work. I would go to a small café near my house. I knew none of the Freedom Fighters visited there, so I made it my hide out. I would read magazines, drink tea and even converse with a few people. I started to feel a little better about myself. I would look myself in the mirror and be proud of myself. I was happy with my life. I had been through so much and I overcame it all. Why was I so upset over you? You were happy with her, and she with you, so why was I so upset? I decided to stop being selfish and focus on myself. I decided to stop getting upset every time I saw you two together. As long as you were happy, that was enough. As long as you were smiling, that was enough. You will always be important to me, always. I keep telling myself, we'll be together someday, and I believe that. But for now, I'll just move aside, and put my hands behind my back.
Hope you enjoyed it. Sorry there's no SonAmy, I'm getting to that.
