A/N: So, this is my first story w/ chapters. I don't know how far out the updates are supposed to be or how long chapters are normally, so answers to these would be appreciated.
Turning Point: Remembrance
*Tails POV*
I cried I couldn't help it; it was too much, being expected to celebrate Cosmos life, when I was the one who ended it to begin with. My head sunk into the closest person, Cream; she held my head, she understood. I'd loved Cosmo, and here I was, forced to sit at her funeral, while I had to live with knowing I killed her… It was too much; I sat up straight and Cream let go thinking I was fine, I wasn't. Soon Sonic stood up to talk about how great Cosmo was and how she will always be remembered… I only listened to some of it.
Cosmo was one of the best friends any of us could have. She was comforting and trustworthy, but most importantly, she was brave. She sacrificed herself so that we can live in peace, together, and I know that she could never be happy so long as we refuse to accept that she is gone and live life to the fullest.
I couldn't take it anymore; I booked it out of there and ran for the only place I knew comfort in, Cosmo's Tree. I kept looking over my shoulder, thinking Sonic would follow me, but for once, I was too fast for him. I ran onto the hill, and flopped down in the grass. My eyes watered, and I couldn't hold it in, I cried more those few minutes than I had my entire life. When I sat up my shirt was soaked with my tears, it hung to my body, showing just how thin I had got from not eating. I sat there until it grew too dark to see my hands, then I walked home. I knew I was in for the berating of my life, but I didn't care, I'd get home and put on a fake smile until Sonic left, then I'd work on the machine to bring Cosmo back.
When I got to my house I was surprised to find that the lights were dark and no one was there. I shrugged and figured they just went home; deciding that it was too late for work, I headed up to change for sleep. I walked over to the stairs, and was about to go up, when I heard someone behind me. I turned and yelled "I heard you Sonic, you might as well come out". I was expecting Sonic to berate me from the shade and try to deny doing so, but to my surprise, a different figure rose from the shadows to confront me. "Sonic is that you".
"of course not you fool" said a voice I knew all too well
"Wha… its… No, what now…"
Sorry for such a short chapter. If someone can give me tips on my questions above and on how to make the chapters longer, then it would be appreciated a lot.
