So I just discovered that using song lyrics is not allowed on FanFiction, and since I don't want to get in trouble and all that, I'm removing the lyrics in this (even though I thought it added a nice touch). Oh well...

Since quite a few of you liked this, should I add more song-inspired one-shots to this?

I own nothing. Inspired by: Say Something- A Great Big World (This song is alright in my opinion, but after listening to the words, it totally reminded me of Amy and Sonic and I had to write this).

She can't do this anymore. She used to believe she could wait forever for him, no matter what was thrown at her, but she was wrong. You can only take so much hurt before you can't take it anymore, and Amy has finally reached that point.

Yesterday she and her hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, was supposed to have lunch together. Just a simple lunch, but Amy was still ecstatic. Nothing could happen to stop it. Eggman was dealt with two days ago, meaning he wouldn't attack for at least another week, and everybody else had plans, leaving the pink and blue hedgehogs by themselves. It was one of the few occasions where she got Sonic to agree to do something with just her.

She waited for the blue blur at the cafe, and there she stayed, alone, until 6 last night. She stormed over to Tails' house, where Sonic also lives, and pounded on the door. What was the his response when he saw her at the front door? 'Oh Ames, I'm sorry! I was...' She didn't hear the rest of what he had to say. It didn't matter because it's always the same excuse: either something came up, or he forgot. In this case, he forgot.

It was the last straw. Did she really mean so little to him? He had nothing else going on, nothing, but he still forgot about her. She could understand the other times he stood her up, for the most part, but yesterday proved what she's secretly feared: him only seeing her as nothing more but a friend. She's not even his best friend; he would have remembered their lunch if she was at least that...

An urgent knock sounds at the pink hedgehog's front door.

...and she's not going to waste a moment longer. Amy climbs out of her bed, still in her pajamas, and answers the door.

"Ames, please. Let me make it up to ya." Sonic takes in her appearance, feeling guilty and concerned. He hates upsetting her. He has no idea how he forgot their lunch yesterday. He only took that nap because he thought he had nothing going on, only to remember last night when he saw Amy on the other side of his door that he did indeed have something planned, planned to happen during that nap.

What concerns him the most was her reaction last night. She didn't shout at him, threaten him with her hammer, or even cry. No she looked tired and defeated as she told him that she understood and that she was going home. He should've jumped with joy from not having to suffer her wrath, but he couldn't. Something was very wrong with her, he could feel it.

"No, Sonic. It's fine. I get it." She rejects his offer. The lack of emotion on her face is scaring him.

"No Ames, I was wrong and-"

"Sonic," She interrupts. "You don't understand. I get it. I am only a friend to you. I'm done chasing you. You won't ever have to deal with me pestering you again."

"W-what are you saying?" Sonic asks, not sure if he's hearing right.

"I'm saying I'm letting you go. If you want to be friends, then I'll be your friend." She gives him a small smile. She means this too. Her heart can't take anymore of this emotional roller coaster. She'll always have a spot for him in her heart, but it's time for her to accept that it will never happen.

Sonic looks at her in shock, Amy thinking he's rejoicing on the inside. What is actually going on inside the blue hedgehog's head is the exact opposite. No more chasing him? Amy Rose, his number one fan of many years, is letting him go? His stomach drops in fear.

"Friends...?" The word leaves a sour taste in his mouth.

"If you want." She shrugs, her indifference making the feeling in him worse. He imagines a life with Amy as just a friend: simple conversations, a visit every now and then, watching her date a different guy...

Oh hell no.

"No." He growls, startling the pink hedgehog.

"You don't want to be friends?" Her heart clenches in pain. Well, it'll probably make it easier for her to let him go, not having to be his friend and constantly see him...

"No I don't." He confirms. She lowers her head to hide her tears. Just because she's done pursuing him doesn't mean those words don't hurt her.

"Well I-" She is interrupted by his hand grabbing her chin and lifting her head to meet his gaze.

"I can't be your friend, that would mean I would have to watch you date guys that aren't me. I refuse to allow that. If anyone is to love and protect you, it's me." Her mind is slow right now, so his words are only confusing her.

"I don't understand."

"When I run, I find where you are and act like you found me by coincidence. When you're in harm's way, it scares me more than water does. When you smile and laugh, I swear it makes the day brighter." He takes a step closer to her. "I ran from you to protect you from danger, Ames, but no more." This has to be a dream. It has to be. He takes another step closer, barely any space between them now. "Amy Rose, I don't want you to let me go because I love you too much let you go."

"I..." This is too much for her. Is he saying what she thinks he's saying? For years she's waited for him to declare his love for her, yet here she is, still as a statue while he waits for her reaction. "I..." He presses his forehead against hers. What if he just ends up breaking her heart?

"Please, don't leave me alone." He whispers, inching his face closer to hers. He doesn't know what he'll do if she doesn't love him anymore, now that he's willing to let himself love her...

"I love you too." Her voice is barely audible. That's all he needed to hear. He captures her lips with his, no longer hiding. He needs her, and now he'll make sure she never has a reason to leave him.

If you want more one-shots like this, let me know.

I hope you enjoyed this! Review or favorite if you did! :)
