New chapter! Yay! If you have any ideas for the plot of my fic 'Torn' please let me know, Im a little stuck.

For a moment, everybody stared at me. Then, Amy laughed, thinking it was a joke.

"Nice try Tails, but Sonic's MINE!"

Everybody soon joined in with her. Nobody took me seriously. Not a single soul in the room. Tears slowly came to my eyes. My love was with somebody else, and only because I had kept my emotions inside. My fear led to despair. The sounds of their shrill cries of laughter tearing my heart into pieces. I was beginning to weep. I couldn't let myself cry in front of them, I had to leave.

Not wanting to see them anymore, I departed. As I left, I heard a female voice call,

"Tails, wait, where are you going?" I continued on my way and neglected the voice.

A few tears had been shed inside, but I did not allow myself to cry much until I was outside Cream's residence, safe from their comments. I sat on her steps, not yet ready to leave, but not ready to face them all again. I hung my head, wishing I hadn't said anything at all.

... ... ... Rouge's POV ... ... ...

In the midst of our laughter, Tails left. Everybody suddenly thought what he had said was not so funny.

"Tails", I called, "wait, where are you going?". He decided to ignore me and leave anyway. I looked around. Everybody had a different expression upon their face. Knuckles looked confused, Amy looked guilty, Cream looked ashamed, Sonic looked shocked, and Shadow, as usual, had little of an expression. After a moment, I stood up.

"Im going to try to talk to him, I might not come back since he could be at his house. Bye everyone!" I said and departed as Tails had.

Damn, Im out of time to write. Sorry, another short chapter. I'll write again as soon as possible.
