The Only Way Out
Tails POV
I was sitting in my room alone crying. I didn't know what to do about the mess I had gotten myself into. I was dating a very pretty girl. Her name was Taylor and she was very good to me. Some would say that she even seemed to be in love with me. Taylor followed me around everywhere I went like a little puppy. As I sat in my room thinking about what I should do, I decided that the only way out of a mess like this was to end my life.
So I headed downstairs and went into the pantry and dug around for something. I moved a bag of potatoes and there they were my razor blades. I pulled one out of the box I had them hidden in. After all no one would bother looking in a box of instant soup for m friends that I had long ago swore never to use again. "How ironic" I thought to myself. "It's been a long time little guy." I whispered as I slowly slid the sharp blade across my scarred wrists. "I don't want to die yet, so I will just bleed a bit that's all" I said with weakness in my voice.
Taylor's POV
"I just can't understand why he would want this." I hugged one of my stuffed animals and cried into a pillow. It had been a while of silence before the phone rang. "Hello? Who is this? Tails?! What's that? Oh of course I can come over!! I will be there asap!" I grabbed my coat and ran out the door to Tails' house.
Tails POV
"I can't let her live. I love her to much… and I want to be with her always." "We WILL be together forever just like we promised." I was beginning to lose control of myself. I could feel it, my sanity slowly slipping away as I thought over my plan over and over again in my mind. "This is the only way Taylor. This is the only way" there was a knock on the door. It was Taylor…
Taylor's POV
Man the rain is really falling now. Come on Tails open the damn door. Boy am I glad that I got these chocolates for him. He seemed a little down when he called. I hope he is alright.
Tails POV
Come in my dear, the door is open.
Tails stood upstairs in the loft with a knife in his hand. He had spent hours sharpening it one day and he could easily feel how sharp it was still. It made him feel… alive in a way. He knew full well what he was about to do. He even welcomed the time that was now closing in on him.
Taylor walked up the stairs and turned down the hall to get to the loft. She called his name three or four times before she found him. The lights were off and Tails was standing in the middle of the room. Taylor could feel him staring at her and she didn't like it one bit. She went to turn on the light when Tails grabbed her pinned her against the wall and kissed her passionately. Her body went numb and she kissed him back. Just when they had to break for air, he did it.
Her eyes widened when she felt the cold blade puncture her skin. She couldn't say a word. All she could do was stare at him with confusion in her eyes. As he lay her down he stood over her. A tear drop hit her cheek and he told her "I love you more than life itself." "Why?" she whispered. "this way we can always be together. Isn't that what you wanted?" Before she could answer him he placed the blade on her neck and slid it across. Her blood spilt out in torrents at first but it eventually stopped. "I'm coming baby" he cried as he then pulled a gun from his back pocket and fired a shot point blank into his skull.
The two lovers lie dead on the floor. To one of them this was a tragedy. To the other it was an act of desperation. To both of them it was the only way they could be together even if one didn't realize it.
