It had been 5 months from now. 5 months to this day. 5 months he hadn't heard her voice, 5 months he hadn't been asked if he would go on a date, 5 months that he hadn't been playfully smacked , 5 months he hadn't had her tears drenching his fur.
Then the phone rang. He raced to the phone before it could ring once more.
"Hello?"
"YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!"
"What happened Tails? Is everything okay? What happened to Amy!"
"COME NOW!"
A click, and then the hum of an open phone line greeted the ear of Sonic the hedgehog. Once again, he felt empty. Like he had5 months ago.

"Tails, what happened?" Sonic asked his friend, holding the fox by the shoulders. He grinned widely and his blue eyes sparkled.
"C'mon Sonic, you'll be happy about this!" Both of them power walked down the hall, butterflies flopping around in Sonic's stomach as they approached Amy's room. They walked in slowly, the curtain pulled to hide the pink hedgehog's section of the room. Passing the curtain, Sonic almost fainted.
There, sitting propped up against a pillow, was Amy - when she saw him, the pink hedgehog smiled sadly. He cruelly gave her the nickname 'The Twat' earlier in her life, and wanted nothing to do with her. Now, all he wanted to do was cry and hug her tightly, tell her he missed her, and tell her to never, ever, try anything stupid like that again.
"Tails, go get me a coffee, would you?" Sonic looked back at the twin-tailed fox, and gave him a look that was read as 'Take your time'. The fox boy nodded, and left. After Tails was gone, the blue hedgehog shuffled over to Amy and plopped on her bed beside her. God, she looked so sad.
Urge overcame Sonic, and he grabbed her in a tight embrace and started to cry. He pressed his cheek against hers, and his body convulsed lightly. He realized how much he really missed her, and was so happy to have her in his arms again.
Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go of this pride
Amy was stunned. She didn't know what to make of this but hugged him back just as tightly. His eyes were closed, she could tell. And he was... crying? She just rubbed his back as he cried. Soon, he stopped and just sat next to her, looking...
I think about your face
And how I fall into your eyes
The outline that I trace
Around the one that I call mine
Time that called for space
Unclear where you drew the line
I don't need to solve this case
And I don't need to look behind
He kept looking. Sonic looked at her like she was the most important thing to him. He cupped her face in his hands, palms against her cheeks. Tears still escaped his eyes. She had beautiful, green eyes... He didn't understand why he didn't see this before. Sonic already knew. In these past 5 months, he realized the special place that Amy held in his heart. He hoped she'd still accept him.
Close my Eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
They had locked eyes. Amy stared back into his face. Eyes red from crying, but the compassion and love was there. He loved her... or was she just imagining things again? Tears of pain reflected his of joy. He kissed her cheek - he kissed her tears. The turned into warm love, instead of cold pain...
Do I expect you to change, the past I hold inside
With all the words I say
Repeating over in my mind
Somethings you can't erase, no matter how hard you try
An exit to escape is all there is left to find
Sonic looked at her after his kissed her cheeks. His past hurt him. He tried to save everyone. But in trying to protect them, he had to give up his own enjoyments with them. Especially Amy. He had to give her up, and blow her off, to keep her safe. He couldn't change the past, but he could still change the future. Sonic wasn't going to screw up again.
Close my eyes
Let the whole thin pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside
Amy watched him, she felt his chest rise and fall near her own. She watched him ungloved his hand, and grab one of hers. He put her hand over his heart, which was beating a hundred miles a minute - or so it seemed. He opened his mouth to talk, but shut it again. A half a minute passed before he spoke. "Amy, I know I've been hard on you these years, and you think I don't care about you but that's not true... Amy, I really loved you the entire time. I just didn't want you to get hurt, okay? Please don't try anything stupid like this again, please? I don't want to loose you again... I was so afraid... so afraid..."
I know I always loved you
I know I always loved you
I know I always loved you
"Sonic... I did it for you... I was a burden to you. I loved you too. Maybe I still do, but I've been hurt so many times... I didn't want to drag you down any more. I wanted you to be happy, Sonic, but I just hurt you even more... I'm sorry..."
So I closed my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my ind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside
"Amy you will never be a burden to me... And if you still want to, I think we can go on that date that's been long overdue..."
"Only if you'll let me pay..."
"WHAT! You are not paying for our date. I'm paying for it. I'm the guy, remember?"
"Sonic, if you don't let me pay for part of it I'll hit you with my hammer!"
The nurses down the hall could hear their argument, and theysmiled.
