Fifth Chapter, Final chapter. Here you go.

Crystal's POV, Flash's House.

In an instant, I was outside of Flash's house. I knocked on the door... but I got no answer. The door was open, so I invited myself in. I know I could have just teleported inside, but I wouldn't want someone doing that to me, so I didn't. When I walked into the house, I heard the music blasting upstairs. The Diary of Jane. I can tell he isn't very happy at the moment, but I didn't need the music to know that. I walked through the house, to find the place trashed. Couches flipped over, broken glass all over the floor, you name it, it was there. I walked a little further in, then all of a sudden a flashback played before my eyes. (Could It Be by Staind's lyrics are in here. I do not own the song.)

I looked around, and saw a little school. 'Strange... Why am I seeing this?' I thought to myself. Oh well, it must have some meaning. I looked around, to see many kids, running around, having fun on the playground. I smiled at this, though I still wondered why I was here. I looked over to the side of the building, where I saw a little gray cat, sitting alone, watching the others. 'Was that Flash?' I thought to myself. A little echidna boy, and a little hedgehog boy walked up to him. "Hey, how's it goin, freak?" The little boy asked, laughing. "Why do you even come here, nobody likes you. You're just a little freak." The little girl said, joining in laughter. 'Is... Is this really what happened to him?' I thought to myself.

Well I don't know what to say,

Because there's truth to what you say,

I know it kills you I'm this way,

There's something different every day.

I watched as the teary eyed Flash ran off, everyone behind him just laughing. Next thing I new, I was in Flash's bedroom. Flash burst in the door, and shut it behind him. He ran over next to his bed, sat down, and buried his face in his arms, sobbing. "Why does everybody hate me?" He said to nobody. "All the boys and girls at the playground hate me. They call me names, laugh at me, and sometimes kick dirt at me."

Could it be that,

I never had the chance to grow inside?

Could it be that,

My habit is to find a place to hide?

Could it be that,

Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that,

I'm only being me?

"Even mommy and daddy don't like me." He sobbed. "They always yell at me. They say that I am not good enough to do anything. They say I always mess everything up."

Not easy living in my mind,

A little peace is hard to find,

My every thought is undermined,

By all the history inside.

Could it be that,

I never had the chance to grow inside?

Could it be that,

My habit is to find a place to hide?

Could it be that,

Sometimes I say things just to disagree?

Could it be that,

I'm only being me?

"Those little boys and girls are right. I am a freak. Nobody likes me. I wish... I wish that one day somebody would take me away from here. Be my friend, and not call me names. I wish there was somebody that loved me." The small gray cat went back to his sobbing.

I know I hear the words you said,

Over and over again,

I just can't get them through my head,

There's just too many voices.

Must be like living with the dead,

To do the things I have said,

And for this I'm sorry.

So there's some truth to what you say.

Could it be that,

I never had the chance to grow inside?

Could it be that,

My habit is to find a place to hide?

Could it be that,

Sometimes I say things just to disagree?

Could it be that,

I'm only being me?

The flashback ended, and she returned to her normal chnscienceness. 'Wow... He has been through more than I thought.' I thought to myself. 'So that's why he's taking this so hard...'

I walked upstairs, to find him in his room. I peeked through the slightly opened door, to see him sitting near a fireplace, holding a picture of us in his hands. He hesitated, before tearing it in half and throwing it in the fire. I walked into the room. "Flash..." I called out to him softly. He looked over at me. "What do you want?" He said with a cold tone. "Look Flash, I'm sorry. I'm sorry things turned out this way. But this was the way it was meant to be-" "What makes you say that?" "Listen Flash, everything happens for a reason-" "THEN WHAT WAS THE REASON WE EVEN MET, HUH? TO BRING ME MORE SUFFERING? SO THAT I CAN BE PUT DOWN? IF THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING, THEN-" "LOOK FLASH, DO YOU THINK THAT I WANTED TO LEAVE YOU? DO YOU THINK THAT I HAD THE CHOICE?" I shouted. Flash hadn't taken that into account. He walked over to his bed, and set down, putting burying his face in his arms again. When he did that, I saw that little boy crying again. Flash just sighed. I walked over to him, and sat down next to him. "Just because we can't be married, and have a family together, doesn't mean that we can't still be friends, and enjoy each other's company." I said, as I placed a kiss on his cheek. "Everything is going to turn out alright. Everything happens for a reason." I said, before getting up and leaving.

Flash looked over to the fireplace, seeing that the fire had burned out. He walked over to it, and reached his hand inside, to pull out the picture of him and Crystal, in perfect condition. He smiled at it, before getting up, and leaving to follow Crystal back to the others.

With the others, Blaze's POV

They have not been gone for long, but I am still worried. Flash usually takes pretty drastic measures whenever he feels angry or sad. Just then, Flash and Crystal appeared in front of the others. There was an awkward silence between us, before he stepped. "Look guys, I'm sorry for the way that I have acted. I shouldn't have acted that way, I shouldn't-" I walked up to him, cutting him off. I pulled him into a hug. "It's ok. We all would have done the same thing if we were in that situation. We're just glad you're ok." Flash hugged back, and pretty much everybody joined in. "So... You and Crystal are through?" Neo asked. "Yes, although we are going to remain great friends. I am moving on." Flash said, smiling. "Hey." Lisa said, throwing his acoustic to him. "Why don't you play us a song?" Flash just smiled, as he began to pic an acoustic riff, moving on to some chords. (So Far Away by Staind.) (Dedicated to my friends on FFN and DA. See list below)

This is my life, It's not what it was before,

All these feelings I've shared,

And these are my dreams,

That I'd never lived before,

Somebody shake me cause I,

I must be sleeping...

Now that we're here, so far away,

All the struggle we fought was in vain.

And all the mistakes, One life contained,

They all finally start to go away.

And now that we're here, so far away,

And I feel like I can face the day.

I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed,

To be the person that I am today.

These are my words,

That I've never said before,

I think I'm doing okay.

And this is the smile,

That I've never shown before,

Somebody shake me cause I,

I must be sleeping...

Now that we're here, so far away,

All the struggle we fought was in vain.

And all the mistakes, one life contained,

They all finally start to go away.

And now that we're here, so far away,

And I feel like I can face the day.

I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed,

To be the person that I am today.

I'm so afraid of waking,

Please don't shake me,

Afraid of waking,

Please don't shake me.

Now that we're here, so far away,

All the struggle we fought was in vain.

And all the mistakes, one life contained,

They all finally start to go away.

And now that we're here, so far away,

And I feel like I can face the day.

I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed,

To be the person that I am today.

Everybody clapped as Flash finished his song. "Ah you guys are my best friends." Flash said, taking a heavy breath. We all looked at each other, then smirked towards Flash. You could tell by the nervous look in his face that he knew what was gonna happen next. We all tackled him over in one giant glomp. And anywhere you were on the beach, you could hear our laughter, and Flash's yelling: "Guys get off me! I need space! You're crushing me! I (Cough) Can't breathe..."
