One Girl's Tear…
As one girls' tear fell down her face, Amy Rose sat on her couch, gazing up at the ceiling above her. The occurrences of the night before were frightening, and she was worried for Sonic. "If only…" Amy thought aloud, "If only…"
I sighed as I looked into my guestroom, the room where the love of my life, Sonic the Hedgehog, slept at this very moment. I thought about the events, thinking. Was it only a dream? Will I wake up to see Tails standing there?
It's strange to think that one-minute you're talking to someone and the next, they're gone. I wanted so much to talk to him, to say how much I cared about him, to say… goodbye…
Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't think about that anymore. I had to forget about Tails now, but thinking about it like that made me give a sudden cry out, just like them one I heard Sonic give on that fateful day.
Sonic must've heard me because the next minute, I felt comforting arms wrap around me.
"Everything's going to be okay, Amy…" Sonic's soft voice seemed to say, but in reality he said nothing. Sonic hasn't uttered a word since the funeral, why would he start to talk now.
Then it took me a minute to take it in, that he had spoke, and not only that, but he was comforting me. I flipped around, embracing him in a hug, crying my heart out.
"Oh Sonic! He's gone! He's really gone!"
Sonic merely hugged me tighter, he was what I needed now most of all. As we stood there, embraced, I calmed down, and then saw something I'd only seen a few times. Sonic was crying in my arms, but trying to hold back for my sake.
"Sonic, don't hold it back," I said, "Just let your emotions out,"
The second I said that, Sonic burst into sobs, shaking all over. His sorrow was heartbreaking; I'd never seen him act this way. Atleast the sighting of Dr. Eggman at the funeral was proof he'd given up his evil ways, so now Sonic wouldn't have to worry about upcoming attacks.
Boy, was I wrong.
The next day was pretty normal, but Sonic was still hanging around. Not like I objected, it's just, well, I've never had a roommate before. And of course, Sonic had a nightmare last night, so I said he could sleep on the couch next to me and we could keep each other company.
Then, I woke up with Sonic sleeping right beside me. I had closed my eyes, wishing the morning would never come. Was I lucky or what! This was when I remembered that Sonic sleeps in until 10:00am, and it was only 8:52am.
When Sonic did wake up, he apologized in the silent way he usually did and never mentioned it again. We skipped breakfast, for Sonic said he'd never eat breakfast anymore, because he had turned down the meal Tails had cooked.
After that, I took Sonic for a walk in the park, to get some fresh air. We walked hand in hand, but mainly so Sonic wouldn't wander off by mistake, and so I could direct him away from any stores that had sinks.
While in the park, Sonic reached down and gave me a flower. At first, I thought he was being sweet, but then I found out why he gave me the flower.
It was soaked in blood.
I gave a shriek and Sonic dropped the flower, grabbing my hand tight as he looked around. The blood had been fresh, and Sonic was looking to see who could've done this. Mind you, it was covered entirely in it, and there was nothing else growing that could've caused the blood shed.
Then we heard it, a small whimper. It was quiet and faint, almost inaudible, but we heard it. Sonic walked over to a bush and pushed the leaves away.
And then, Sonic's mouth hung open at what he saw. And there sat Cream and her adorable chao Cheese, but something was wrong. Cream was weeping, hanging over her Cheese, who lay limp in her arms, a small hole cut through his arm.
"Cream! What's wrong with Cheese?" I exclaimed.
Cream was crying, "A strange… robot leaped and… at us… he shot this thing…. That attached to Cheese's arm! The next thing I knew… the thing crawled into Cheese's arm and… into his chest… then it…Oh Cheese!" Tears streamed down her face as Sonic began to put it together. His eyes looked at the tiny chao's heart and then I understood.
"Cream… you have to understand..." I began.
"No! I won't! I want Cheese! I want Cheese!" Cream cried.
"Cream… it's too late…"
"Noooooo!"
Then, Sonic bent down and set his hand on Cream's shoulder. He looked into her large eyes and just stared. Then, Cream seemed to understand.
"He's in a better place now, Cream," Sonic spoke gently, but almost too soft to hear.
Cream cried again, burying her face into Sonic's chest. She stood there and cried. Hours seemed to have passed, and Cream's eyes were red and puffy. I myself had cried, too, but Sonic had not shed a tear.
After we had all dehydrated ourselves, Sonic pulled out a water bottle and gave Cream a sip. Then, he walked to where he knew Cream and Cheese loved to go, the quietest part of the park, deep within the forest. He dug a small hole and wrapped a scarf around Cheese.
Setting the small creature in the hole, he allowed Cream to kiss her small friend good-bye, before covering the hole with the cold dirt.
I volunteered to walk Cream home, but Sonic said we should go together. We were silent, both Sonic and I holding each one of Cream's hands. When we got to her house, we explained to her mother what had happened, who held her daughter closely.
As we left, I saw Cream's Mom pray at the sky, mouthing the words, "Thank you for protecting her…"
As one girls' tear fell down my face, I sat on her couch, gazing up at the ceiling above Me.. The occurrences of the night before were frightening, and I was worried for Cream. "If only…" Amy thought aloud, "If only…"
