Chapter 4: Why…

Sonic and Amy sat side by side on the emerald green waves of grass. After a long day of enjoying themselves, the pair finally settled down under the moon. Amy stood up, gazing up at the starry heavens. Sonic walked up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, making Amy's heart jump. She soon felt comfortable, turning around and looking into his eyes. He looked back at her, knowing that her eyes said I love you. He returned the gaze with a soft kiss against her lips. He ran his fingers through her sakura-colored quills and hugged her close. As he pulled away from the embrace, Amy began to disappear. There were tears streaming down her cheeks. Sonic looked at Amy in panic and felt tears make their way to his cheeks as well. He tried to say her name, but not a sound came from him. He tried to say I love you, please don't go…but all he could do was watch the pink hedgehog slowly drift away from existence. When she completely disappeared, Sonic was able to get out the words, I love you…I LOVE YOU AMY!

Sonic suddenly awoke with a start. His heart was racing and he could feel sweat across his forehead. He looked at the alarm clock sitting on his night-stand next to his rose. It read, 5:47 am. Sonic dragged himself out of bed and into his bathroom. He did his usual boring routine of getting out of bed, taking a warm shower, and brushing his teeth. After said things were done, he lazily dragged his feet down the stairs and plopped himself on his cushy couch.

He rolled over on his back so that he was staring at the ceiling, trying to recall what happened in his dream. He back tracked it to when Amy began to disappear and felt a cold knot in his stomach. He had said he loved her. Sonic now began to sit up and muttered quietly to himself. "I have no way of making my dreams the way I want them to be. But…dreams are nothing but subconscious thoughts and images…" Un-aware of it, Sonic's mind couldn't stay off Amy, but he was too stubborn to admit the truth…the truth of which he had been running from for a long time…

Sonic, suddenly feeling a jolt of energy jumped off of his couch and went outside. He stretched his arms and put them behind his head as he began walking.

"Where to today…" he said quietly to himself. He looked around the city. Even at 6:00 am, the streets were busy. The streets were beginning to get full of people and traffic. The sidewalks had their usual street venders, pathetically trying to get customers. As Sonic crossed the street, he heard voices calling his name in the way Amy had.

Sonic turned to look and saw to female hedgehogs running up to him. One of them had long, sky blue, wavy hair that wore an all blue outfit. The other wore her lavender hair back and had a shirt that had Sonic's face on it. "Great…" Sonic muttered under his breath.

"Can we have your autograph?" the blue one asked, handing Sonic a piece of paper and a pen. Sonic looked at the two and began to sign his name. "What are your names?" he inquired. "I'm Skye and this is Crystal." The blue one said pointing to her friend. Sonic wrote for a few more seconds and gave the paper and pen back to them. "Thank you!" they both said in unison and ran off. Sonic sighed as he turned and kept walking.

"They remind of Amy…" Sonic said to himself. "Maybe I should go ad apologize for yesterday…"

With that in mind, Sonic dashed off in the direction of Amy's apartment. He turned the knob and found that the door was unlocked. He went up a few flights of stairs and was going down the hall for the flight when SMACK! A door flew open and hit Sonic in the head, leaving him laying flat on his back.

"What in the world?" came a familiar feminine voice. Sonic looked up and saw Rouge standing above him.

"Rouge?" Sonic said rubbing his head.

"You…"

"Me?" Sonic said standing up.

"Amy's really upset because of you. And if I weren't in such a rush right now, you'd be in pain right now." Rouge said handing him some files and locking her door.

"…I didn't realize she was upset with me. Besides, I think you hurt me enough with the door…" Rouge gave him a serious look.

"Please talk to Amy, Sonic." Rouge said softly taking the papers from Sonic, "even if you don't like her, you can at least be a little nicer to her." Rouge ran down the apartment stairs and out the door.

"Ouch…" Sonic said. He continued down the hallway but a little quicker now. He really wanted to tell Amy that he was sorry now. But felt a bit nervous about not knowing if she would accept his apology. He made it to Amy's room after a few more flight of stairs and knocked on the door. After a few seconds without an answer, he knocked again.

"Amy? It's Sonic. I came to apologize about yesterday…" he knocked again. "I know you're mad at me Amy, but I came to make things right…" Sonic waited about a minute before going downstairs again and going out the door.

He was out on the street again. The cool breeze blew against his blue quills, sending a cool sensation throughout his body. Instead of feeling coldness inside of him though, he felt emptiness. He sighed a depressed sigh as he headed to one of his favorite places to think.

Sonic slid his hand along the iron bars of the park gate. As he entered he saw the usual large plain of grass with the fields of flowers surrounding parts of it. He started towards the oak of which he usually rested in and saw a pink figure sitting on the bench below. 'Amy' He thought. He walked over to the figure and found that it was Amy.

Amy's heart slightly jumped when she saw the blue hedgehog walking towards her. She watched as the usual blue blur approached her and sighed a depressing sigh in thought of being hurt again. 'I know what I have to do…' Amy thought, feeling tears of sorrow ready to escape behind her twinkling eyes.

"Amy…" Sonic began as he took a seat next to her.

"I know Sonic. I won't bother you anymore…" Sonic slightly cocked his head to one side. He let a warm smile slide onto his face.

"Amy, I didn't come here to tell you to not both-"

"Please let me finish Sonic." She interrupted. Sonic could hear the sad tone of her voice begin to grow.

"I know that I really get on your nerves. But now, I think it…it would keep us both from suffering if I just didn't bother you anymore.

"Amy…"

"I don't want to cause you anymore trouble anymore. I care about you. As many times as you rejected me…leaving me to shed tears…" Sonic was completely speechless. He had no idea how much Amy had loved him. He tried to recall all of the many times he dashed away in sight of her. But his thoughts were soon interrupted by Amy's sobs.

"You…wouldn't have to be annoyed…and I…won't be heart broken every time…I look at you…" she said between deep breaths.

Amy stood up and began to walk away.

"Amy…I had no idea…" Sonic said as he stood up and put a hand on her shoulder. "I never thought about how you felt every time I disappeared. I'm sorry." Amy couldn't even look at him. She had streams of tears falling from her now red eyes.

"N-no Sonic. I'm sorry for ever entering your life." With that, Amy ran off out of the park, causing people to stare. Sonic watched her as she disappeared in the bustling crowds of people.

"Amy…" Sonic said feeling tears gathering at his emerald eyes.

Amy ran all the way to her apartment without stopping and all the way up to her room. She took out her amethyst jewel Rouge had given her and set it beside her on her bed.

"It was for the best…" Amy sniffed. "I still don't see why he came to apologize though. He would never care…" Amy took the jewel into the palm of her hand and examined it.

"Deep love…" She sighed to herself.

"That would never be true to me…"

A/N: I think that's about a good place to leave off. I have no idea of how I'm going to turn Amy's feelings around, but I'll do my best to make this as good as I possibly can. Tons of chapters and all that other happy crap REVIEW!
