Sonic stood still for a moment, watching Amy's retreating figure. A low growl escaped from mouth, before he clenched his fists in anger. She was lying. She loved him more than anything in the world, he was sure of it. Impossible that one cheating retard from her past made her change the way she felt about him. He started walking in circles, his hands folded behind his back. Was this the end? The final end of their friendship? What did she expect? Did she expect that she'd come back after four years and everything would be the same way it was before she left? She wasn't delusional, so she should've known that there were major changes taking place while she was gone and forgotten. Perhaps he went too far last night by annoying Amy with Sally, but he wanted to see how far he had to go to make Amy lose her composure - but she never did. Instead she kept smiling, as if she didn't care about him being with another girl. He was never attracted to Amy, so why did this annoy him so much? He was eager to see her get jealous and he had no idea why. There was only one person on this entire planet he could talk to without being judged - and that was Tails. So he rushed off to his workshop.

Arriving there, Sonic was confused to see Fiona. She was talking to her little cousin, her eyes looked like she had been crying. He had never seen Fiona cry, she seemed like such a strong individual. Curiosity kicked in and he entered the workshop with a wave.

"Heya, guys. Am I interrupting something?"

Both foxes glanced at him. Tails blinked a few times, before waving back. Fiona just huffed and turned her head into the other direction. Was she mad about something?

"Good to see you." Tails greeted him with a friendly smile.

"I really need to talk to you in private, lil' buddy." Sonic said, rubbing his chin nervously. "If you could excuse us for a moment, Fiona."

Fiona turned her head and glared at Sonic, an ugly frown drawn on her forehead. "Since when are you sending me away?"

"Uh, since now. Please leave for a moment." Sonic replied dryly, gesturing Fiona to get out. Her glare turned into a dark scowl.

"Sonic, don't be rude." Tails remarked, placing his hands on his hips.

"What? I said please." Sonic groaned with an eyeroll.

"We're not over yet, hedgehog. You can't just be using me like that. I hope it feels good to be Sally's future husband, hope it thrills you." Fiona hissed highly sarcastic.

"It feels amazing." Sonic taunted.

"You've found a new object of interest, I can see it in your eyes. Let me guess. Amy?" Fiona said with a low chuckle. Sonic just rolled his eyes.

"I'd never do something inappropriate with her and you know it. Just leave now."

"Right, that's the same thing you said about me."

"GET OUT!" Sonic yelled, losing his composure. This girl simply ticked him off sometimes. He hated her impudent remarks. If only she weren't so fucking gorgeous.

"Enough! Fiona, I need to have a word with Sonic, please wait outside." Tails demanded sternly, glaring at Sonic. Fiona sighed and nodded, brushing her perfumed tail through Sonic's face before leaving. It seemed like a flirtatious gesture, but Sonic chose to ignore it. He sat down on a small chair across from Tails and exhaled loudly.

"What on Mobius is wrong with you?" Tails said, which sounded more like an accusion than an actual question.

"Grrr, I don't know! I'm fucked up." Sonic admitted with a sigh. Tails kneeled down infront of him, resting one hand on Sonic's knee, cracking a soft smile.

"Seriously, what's wrong?"

Sonic looked into Tails' blue eyes and sighed once more. "It's just... I met with Amy earlier and she.. just canceled our friendship. What did I do wrong?"

Tails removed his hand slowly and surveyed the blue hedgehog. "Uh, perhaps she's just confused. I mean, you're gonna marry her biggest enemy soon, so it's kinda like a nightmare come true. She needs some space, but I'm sure eventually she'll accept your decision. I mean, it's not she could do anything about it, right?" Tails reassured Sonic with a smile. Sonic just stared at the floor blankly, not answering, only shrugging. "Right?" Tails repeated, raising one eyebrow.

"No, she can't." Sonic breathed, finally looking up. "But I want her to try at least, to flip out, to yell at me, to beg me not to do it, anything. It's odd, I know, but I want her to ... be jealous." Sonic admitted, a faint blush appearing on his tanned cheeks. Tails was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect such honesty.

"Why?"

"To remind myself of old times. She always got jealous over everything, even me talking to a female robot. And now she comes back and acts like she doesn't care about anything I do, or me in general. It feels weird, I want the old Amy back." Sonic admitted, his tone rather sad.

"You really want the jealous, clingy Amy back? I thought you'd be overjoyed to see how much she has matured." Tails remarked, still not knowing where this conversation is leading.

"That's the point. I didn't see her mature. She disappeared when she was still ... like she always was. Now she comes back and is a brandnew person, she feels like a stranger to me. I need to get used to this... new persona of hers. I know I found her annoying back then, but she never made me unhappy. She always cheered me up and listened to my pointless drama. It was fascinating to see what she was willing to do to win me over, even though I never gave her chance due to the age difference. I can't believe she just stopped caring at some point."

"Well, you did never give her a chance, so she decided to start a new life without you, maybe that's what she needed. After four long years, she finally got over you. You should be happy for her. Wanting her to be upset and jealous is just selfish." Tails scolded his best friend, but in a friendly manner. Sonic blinked a few times before opening his mouth to respond, but nothing came out, so instead he just sighed deeply.

"I guess you're right, lil' buddy, like always."

"That's why you came here." Tails remarked with a wink before he stood up. "Now I have to keep working on my new invention. You go and make it up to Amy. Show her that you're accepting the new her and give her some space, if she still needs it."

"Fine, I will." Sonic breathed while massaging his temples. He stood up and walked out of Tails' garage. He saw Fiona sitting on Tails' couch in his living room, checking out her nails. Sonic grunted as he walked past her. She quickly stood up and grabbed his arm, but Sonic gently shoved her away.

"Don't touch me." he snorted, before he ran off.


Amy opened her door to find Shadow still sitting on her couch. Amy tilted her head slightly, staring at him in confusion. She was gone for nearly two hours, since she took a long walk along the beach after her conversation with Sonic.

"Rose." Shadow said nervously, slowly standing up. "I waited for you."

"Uh, why?" Amy asked, a little confused.

"I wanted to see if you get home safely, otherwise I would've started looking for you. Can't risk having you gone for another four years, heh." Shadow replied, a shy smile on his lips. Amy couldn't help but blush slightly. He had a whole new attitude, it felt odd.

"Uhm, thanks, I guess. Very thoughtful." she remarked coyly, not sure what else to say.

"That's what I am." Shadow said, followed by a short chuckle. "Anyway, I guess I can leave now."

"Uhhh, yeah."

"Enjoy your night, Rose." Shadow said sweetly before he left. Amy stared at the empty spot where Shadow had just been standing, analyzing what had just happened in her head. Her door was still open and she could feel a cold breeze coming from outside, so she turned around to close her door, but froze in her tracks as she saw Sonic standing right infront of her, his eyes fuming.

"Uhhhhh..." she stuttered awkwardly, not really knowing what to say. Had he just seen Shadow leave? That'd explain his scowl.

"So that is what this is all about?" Sonic sneered viciously.

Fuck, he had seen it. Oh boy.

"What's it to you?" Amy hissed back.

"Shadow out of all people?" Sonic said, his expression slightly softening.

"He was just worried."

"About what?"

"About me!"

"In your house?"

"WHY DO YOU CARE?" Amy yelled, clenching her fists. Sonic's scowl suddenly saddened.

"I care because we used to be the best friends, Amy. I only came here to tell you that I accept your request, I accept that you need distance. I know it wasn't right how I treated you in the past, but please don't throw our friendship away." Sonic pleaded, his voice loud, yet fainting. Amy stared at him for a brief moment, sadness filling her whole body. Sonic looked away for a moment and took a deep breath, before his gleaming green eyes landed back on hers with determination. "I know you missed me just as much as I missed you."

His words cut into Amy's heart like knives. Of course she missed him, but she tried to forget him, forget his eyes, his smile, his scent, everything about him that intrigued her. And she succeeded, at least she thought so. Right now she wasn't sure anymore. But she knew that if she'd let Sonic back in, his marriage would crash her. She was sick and tired of being upset because of him. So she gathered all her courage before speaking, looking him dead in the eyes.

"I am begging you, Sonic - please forget me, let me go, let our friendship go, let everything we had go and concentrate on more important things."

Sonic grabbed Amy's shoulders firmly and shook her gently, his expression saddening even more.

"You used to be the most important thing in my life, Amy. I can't just let this all go, I can't, God damn it." he whispered loudly, his eyes looking desperate. Amy was frozen at his sudden touch, but her eyes never left his. They stared at eachother for a moment, before Amy sighed deeply and shoved Sonic away, turning her back on him.

"Amy, please..." Sonic whispered and Amy could hear his voice crack. It broke her, but it was the right thing to do.

"I think you should leave, Sally is probably waiting for you." Amy said blankly, still facing Sonic with her back while staring at the ground.

"Just stop mentioning her stupid name for once, this is about you and me."

His words sounded serious, pregnant with meaning. She slowly turned around and locked eyes with him again. He took one step towards her, hesistant. She could see that his eyes looked moist. This seemed really important to him.

"I don't think I can make it to your big day." Amy finally breathed. Sonic frowned in confusion.

"What? Why? It's important for me that you'll be there."

"I just can't, okay?" Amy yelped, finally allowing a tear to run down her rosy cheek.

"Please, we can talk about it." Sonic said, trying to soothe her.

"No, there's nothing to talk about. You really expect me out of all people to be there and congratulate you?" she whined bitterly.

"I am sorry, Amy, but there's no turning back for me, okay? I just don't want our friendship to die because of it." he wailed back, feeling his eyes getting more damp by the minute. "Besides, you said you don't love me and never have, so what's the big deal?"

"That's right, it was just some stupid teenage crush, okay? So stop trying to put me into cottonwool, acting as if I meant something to you!"

"For fuck's sake, you do!" Sonic yelled, clenching his fists. Amy flinched, which made Sonic calm down immediately. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before looking at Amy again. "You just do, Amy." he sighed.

"Oh, Sonic, I..." Amy started, before she allowed all those caved in tears to escape, sinking to her knees. She cupped her face into her gloved hands and started sobbing bitterly. Sonic gasped as he rushed to her side and kneeled down beside her, removing her hands from her face, wiping away a few tears with his thumbs, cupping her face in his own hands. He stared deeply into her eyes, sadness and sorrow written all over his face.

"Why are you torturing yourself like that?" he asked, his voice just above a whisper. Amy tried to suppress more tears, but couldn't help it, they just kept flowing. Sonic drooped his ears before he took Amy in a tight hug. He nearly squeezed the life out of her, but it felt right to hold her now. After a moment of hesitation, Amy hugged him back and sobbed loudly into his neck. Sonic kept caressing her back to soothe her. They stayed like this for a while, before Amy finally calmed down. Sonic released her and they locked eyes again. He gazed lovingly into her jade green eyes, which were sparkling like emeralds due to the moisture. Their faces were only inches apart when Amy sighed loudly, closing her eyes.

"Please grant me this wish, Sonic." she whispered, but Sonic was unsure what she meant. He leaned in a little closer, as her eyes snapped open again, making him freeze. "Grant me to finally let this all go."

Sonic pulled his face away in a flash, this was awkward. Was he really about to kiss her? God damn, all these emotions made him whimsical.

"Are you really certain that you want this?" he asked, his voice mournful. Amy simply nodded, one final tear running down her cheek. She knew that she wouldn't be strong enough to be around Sonic everyday, going to his wedding as if it was the most normal thing ever. Before she came back, she promised herself to never let him back in again and she had to stick to this promise, no matter what.

Sonic exhaled deeply, before he stood up slowly. He walked wordlessly out of her door, before he stopped once more, being already outside. He turned around to face her, his expression sorrowful. Amy glanced at him and nodded once more, her breathing heavy. Sonic sighed before he punched her door viciously. This made Amy flinch. She stared at him in disbelief. Was he really this upset about the situation? He probably hurt his knuckles. Sonic glanced at Amy one final time, before he vanished into the night. Every muscle of Amy's body felt numb. She felt the desperate need to run after him, but her legs wouldn't carry her. She couldn't even stand up.

Instead, she let her head hang in shame, more tears running down her cheeks.

If it was the right thing to do and the only way to deal with the situation, then why did it feel so wrong?


I really put a lot of effort in this chapter, so please don't kill me.

I just felt like writing my current mood down while listening to rather sad music, so yeah.

But of course this isn't the end! There'll be a lot more to come, don't worry. What's a love story without some sad drama? ~

You should really listen to 'Feelings' by Ivan Vlad while reading this, makes it way more emotional.

Tell me what you think, I really appreciate your reviews! xoxo
