In a trance, Sonic laughed mirthlessly as he pondered about it. He laid on his bed, curled up with him hugging his knees tightly into his chest. A glimmer of his fantasy flickered through his mind and he felt himself yearn to desperately live in his fantasy. The fantasy in which his feelings went requited and he was not to be in anguish like he is right now.

Ebony fur arms wrapped around him, Sonic felt the others body nestle into him as they lay in his bed simply enjoying the silence and being in the others company. He melted into the others arms and perceived what seemed to be love. He craved this, this love he felt is all sonic has been searching for. To have another understand his pain. His loneliness and grief.

"Did you miss me?" His husky and deep voice whispered, his voice alone sent delightful shivers down my spine. He held me tighter and without hesitation I answered.

"Yes..." I murmured breathlessly. He stroked my hands gently and I felt his hot breath near on the back of my neck. "I love you Shads..."

"I lo-"

His warmth and presence disappeared and I let out a cry of frustration and heartache. I felt numb and tormented. He haunted me in my mind and inner being. He was there, he felt so real, so alive, so there...but he's not there it's not him and that's what kills me that's why just destroys everything inside me because this is not him he is not there he doesn't love me

he doesn't love me

he doesn't love me

he doesn't love me

These words repeat and echo plague my mind in a sick mockery. Like I was someone's puppet on strings and my pain was their amusement. I can hear a taunting laugh that surrounds me and suffocates me. I love him, I want him to love me but I know he never will. I know that isn't him, that this is just a figment of my imagination I am forcing onto the real Shadow. I am thinking of a fake, huh, Faker. I laughed a morose laugh at the thought of him being the faker. Then I cried.

I let my tears fall and I cried hard until I thought I couldn't breathe. I felt my body wrack with misery and sobs and I let everything I contained out and after hours of this. I felt myself breathe slowly and everything was slowly getting darker and numb and I went into a almost blissful sleep.

"Guys, can-can I tell you something. Something about Sonic?" Tails asked, he was wringing his hands together and his sunny yellow ears were positioned downwards.

Nearly the whole gang was there, it was a beautiful sun soaked day at the beach, the waves crashed playfully against the warm sand and there was no one around on this private beach which belonged to Sonic because of his status as the worlds hero. The beach was located just below a grassy hill away from Tails and Sonics shack that they call home.

Amy perked up in an instant at the thought of her Sonic and she impatiently waited for Tails to continue. Rouge and Blaze were huddled under a beach tent with sunglasses and each with a glass of tequila to enjoy the day with. Knuckles stood near his beach towel with a scowl on his face and his arms were crossed in annoyance. He was blackmailed into coming to the beach by Rouge so he was pretty unhappy with that. Silver kept trying to take a peek at Rouge's...large chest as he was the ever known mischievous hedgehog. Tikal was sitting on the sand, she looked up at Tails with patience from the sandcastle she had built and then Omega was positioned near Rouge and he seemed to be charging himself up but he could also be listening too. Shadow was the farthest away from the group, he had his own umbrella and laid backwards on a beach towel with his legs crossed.

Tails felt like he was betraying Sonic for saying this, and that made him feel anxious and nervous. Tails hesitantly cleared his throat and he began to speak at first with a shaky trill voice.

"I think there is something wrong with Sonic, he hasn't really left his room at all for two days and..." Tails took a deep breath. "He-he just keeps crying for hours and then he stops and then he starts crying again. I don't know what to do and I don't know who to go to please..." With watery eyes Tails begged, "Make my brother better again, I can't stand to hear him like this and not be able to do anything."

Nearly everyone was shaken with confusion. Except Shadow who sat up and snapped at Tails.

"So what if the Faker keeps crying, why should any of us help him Why should we even bother with him?" Shadow crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Tails who was close to tears. And then something that no one thought they would see happen in a million years happen.

A loud cracking sound echoed throughout the beach and Shadow staggered back a step from the smack Amy gave him. Amy glared harshly with a radiating irate intensity at Shadow.

"Because he is our friend, because we care about him that's why we should help him! What the hell is your problem, Tails asked us to help and you all but said to him that he doesn't matter." Amy raised her voice angrily. Shadow felt his cheek sting badly and he coolly stared at Amy. If Amy wasn't fueled by anger at the moment she would've felt unnerved at the look Shadow gave her but she wasn't finished.

"Do you even care about him? Do you even care about any of us? I know we all try our damn best into helping you but all you do is push us away and berate us for wanting to help others, you berate us even when we feel things like emotions. Something you wouldn't know." Amy all but shredded any fight Shadow had in him with her final statement. Amy clenched her fists and she turned and huffed, "You ask why should we bother with him, when what you should be asking is why we bother with you."

Amy turned slightly to look at everyone present and she spoke.

"If any of you actually cared for Sonic then let's go." And she left, her figure disappearing over the grassy hill and soon Tails who followed behind her trying to keep up with her swiftly. Then slowly the group trickled behind until it was only Shadow who was still standing with a gloved hand over his cheek. He growled and he too left to at least see what's going on in the shack now. Maybe he would have to smack some sense into that annoying blue cobalt hedgehog just to hurt Amy.
