Heartache

A Fanfiction by Stoney



Part Two: Sonic



I'll give credit to Amy: If there's one thing she is, it's persistent.

I'm not sure why I don't like her, to tell the truth. She's a pretty good person when it comes right down to it. But she always seems to be on a constant sugar high or somethin'; bouncing around, giggling a lot, talking really fast in that high-pitched voice of hers.....she's always hyperactive. After hanging around with her as long as I have, it's gotten pretty irritating.

And then there's the fact that she won't leave me alone. I mean, come on! A guy's gotta have his private space, you know?! Couldn't I get five minutes to myself each day without yet another insane female teenybopper begging for my attention?!

According to Amy, I couldn't. Doesn't she realize that there are some times when I just need to get out and be by myself? Why can't she just give me a little privacy during those times?

Whenever she's around me, she's always trying to get as physically close to me as possible. And if she isn't doing that, she's trying to touch me. Her clingy-ness gives me the creeps, really. It's like she's stalking me or something.

Not to mention that it's mortally embarrassing for her her to act like my biggest fan or something around my friends. Nobody knows how many times I've had to stand in one spot, red-faced, while she jumps up and down and squeals my name over and over. I've just about had enough of the bad jokes from Tails and Knuckles, too.

I can't stand it! It's driving me crazy!

If only she'd act a little more mature, then she'd be a pretty cool person to be around. She's a good fighter already, and she did help us with the Chaos and ARK incidents. But her personality leaves much to be desired.

Maybe I could try talking to her, and explain the problem? Nah. She'd probably pound me to a pulp with that giant hammer of hers. The only thing that I can do is try to avoid the problem. And that means avoiding Amy.

I wish things didn't have to be this way. Why couldn't Amy have gone after Tails, or even Knuckles? I'm sure they'd appreciate the attention. But me, I've gotten way too much of it during my lifetime. Too often has some starry-eyed young teenager approached me and proposed marriage. Too often have I been forced to turn them down. And too often have I seen that heartbroken, crushed look on their faces afterwards.

I don't want Amy to wind up like that. She's too nice to have her heart crushed. But I can't just let things continue the way they've been going. Something has to be done.

But what can I do.....?
