Chapter 6 : Not So Private Conversations
"Please let me finish Amy... What I'm trying to say is... I.. I love you Amy Rose."
Tails pressed the button on the phone again and put it back, He just couldn't listen to any more. He wiped the tears from his eyes as he tried his hardest to keep from crying, He lay on his bed for a few minutes with a thousand thoughts going through his mind.
'That's it... He loves her too... Maybe its best...Amy deserves to be loved back...This hurts so bad...What can i do now? Sonic would hate me if he found out about my feelings for Amy... Maybe she would too.. 'sniffle' .No I'm not gonna cry...'
Tears started to flow freely down his face, He tried his hardest to stay quiet so that Amy wouldn't hear him but he couldn't help letting out a few sniffles. He started to think about what would happen now, He knew there was no way he could keep these feelings to himself forever but he also knew it was something that would never go away. She was always on his mind, And over the last week he was thinking about her more then ever. He was always hurt whenever he heard Amy say that she loved Sonic, But the pain was nothing compared to the emotional agony he just felt when he heard Sonic confess his love.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he heard some shouting.
'What? Did i just hear Amy shouting?'
Tails jumped up from his bed, He walked to his bathroom and splashed some water over his eyes. He didn't want Amy to know that he was crying, He dried his face and began to walk over to the sitting room.
A few moments ago
"Please let me finish Amy... What I'm trying to say is... I.. I love you Amy Rose."
Amy had just heard the only words she ever wanted to hear from Sonic, But it wasn't anything like she imagined it. She was confused when she didn't feel any joy or happiness from hearing those words. She started to speak with a very low voice.
"Sonic.. erm.. That's great. Thanks."
"Great? Is that it Amy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well i just expected you're reaction to be a bit more caring."
"Well what do you want me to say?"
"Well i was expecting that you would at least tell me you loved me too."
"Haven't I told you often enough?"
"Amy what's wrong? I just told you that I'm in love with you and you're acting as if you don't even care."
Amy suddenly felt angry at Sonic's words,
"Yeah? WELL NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!"
Amy slammed the phone back down.
She started to feel guilty, She was angry at herself for not telling Sonic what he wanted to hear. A tear left her eye and made its way down her cheek, She started to try and organise her thoughts.
'Sonic.. I do love him.. I just felt so angry when he said i was acting like i didn't care... He did that to me for years whenever i told him how much i loved him...but still... I need to call him later and apologise...'
She looked up when she heard Tails enter the room, As soon as he seen that she was crying he walked over and sat beside her. He gave her a caring smile as he put his arm around her shoulder.
"What's wrong Amy? What happened?"
Tails hugged Amy while she told him about her conversation with Sonic, Afterwards she started to cry again.
"It's alright Amy, Don't cry please, I'll give Sonic a call and ask him to come over right now."
"Thanks Tails."
Amy pulled away from the hug and was about to get up but then she caught a glimpse of Tails crystal blue eyes, She couldn't help but gaze into his them. He too stared deep into Amy's eyes, For a few seconds they remained like that. Then Amy slowly started to lean forward Tails leaned in as well, Amy's lips met a part of his cheek that was very close to his mouth. Close enough that the corner of her mouth touched the corner of his. She gently pulled away and they continued to look into each others eyes for a few moments before Tails stood up.
"I'm gonna go give Sonic a call, I'll use the phone in the bedroom."
Amy nodded and Tails hurried out of the sitting room, After entering his bedroom and closing the door behind him he fell down on his bed. He was thinking about the moment he just shared with Amy, He put his hand to the corner of his mouth where Amy had kissed him. He smiled warmly as he relived the moment in his mind, But his joy was short lived as he realised that he now had to call Sonic and invite him over just so that Amy could apologize to him.
'I don't see why Amy should have to apologise to him, She was right, Sonic always ignored her so he deserves to know what it feels like. I still don't understand it though, I thought Amy would be overjoyed to hear Sonic tell her he loved her. Well it doesn't matter anyway, After she talks to him their gonna be all over each other I'm sure everything will work out fine for them... I mean.. They love each other right?...The only one who's gonna be left out here is me...'
Tails picked up his phone and dialled Sonic's number.
Back in the sitting room Amy was still sitting on the sofa but it wasn't Sonic she was thinking about.
'What just happened? I almost... Why did i do that? I couldn't help it, Just staring into his eyes... Such gorgeous eyes... Hmmm... That strange feeling is back again... What is this? Its nothing like the love i have for Sonic but its so... Oh i don't know... When i felt his lip touch the corner of my mouth it just felt so... right..'
Amy was suddenly shocked to find herself thinking about her best friend like that, She tried to focus her mind on other things... It wasn't really working. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice when Tails walked into the room.
"What you thinking about?" Tails asked with a curious voice as he took a seat next to her.
"Huh? Oh, Nothing really. Did you call Sonic?"
"Yeah he said he would be over in about half an hour." Tails replied as he switched the tv on with the remote.
"Ok, He wasn't upset about me hanging up on him was he?"
"No Amy, He didn't even mention you."
They stayed where they were for a while watching the tv, But neither of them were paying it much attention. Every now and then Amy would look over at Tails for a few moments and Tails too would occasionally look over at Amy, At one point they both looked over at each other at the same time. They blushed a little before they looked away in embarrassment, Both Amy and Tails were only wanting to hold each other but they were both too afraid to ask. After a few more awkward minutes of silence there was a knock at the door, They both knew who it was so Amy got up from her seat and went to answer it. She came back into the sitting room a moment later with Sonic.
"Hey buddy, How you been?"
"Hi Sonic, I'm alright now."
Sonic walked over and sat next to Tails before pulling him into a brotherly hug.
"Good. You really had me worried about you."
Sonic pulled away from the hug and continued.
"Tails could you maybe do something for me?"
"What is it Sonic?"
"I'd like to have a chat with you, Just you and me. Could you wait in your bedroom please? I wanna talk to Amy about something then I'll be right in."
Tails was a little confused but he nodded and left the room, When he closed the sitting room door he left it open just a few millimetres. He remained in the hallway peeping through the small gap. Amy moved over and sat down beside Sonic,
"Sonic, I'm sorry for what i said to you on the phone, I had no right to speak to you like that."
Sonic turned and put his hands on Amy's shoulders.
"Amy you had every right to yell at me, What you said was true. I always used to act as if i didn't care about the way you feel about me, But now I've found out that i feel the same way and i know now what you must have been going through. I love you Amy and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner."
Amy pulled Sonic into a tight hug.
"Sonic, I love you too."
Sonic pulled away just enough to push his lips against Amy's, They kissed passionately for a few moments. Tails was stood outside the door, His eyes filled with tears but he refused to cry. Sonic pulled away from Amy, But held onto her hand.
"I'm gonna go and speak to Tails now, It won't take long."
"Sonic you better not upset him!"
"Don't worry Amy, He'll be fine."
"Sonic i mean it!"
"Ok Amy, I Won't."
Amy smiled at Sonic as he got up and headed for the door, Tails saw him coming and quickly ran into his bedroom. He grabbed a book at random from the bookcase and sat on the bed just as Sonic came in the room.
"Hey Tails, Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Its ok Sonic, I was just reading a book."
Tails was sat at the edge of the bed, Sonic closed the door behind him then walked over and sat down on the floor in front of the bed.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, Tails.. I want to know what's been troubling you."
Tails knew that one was coming, He looked down at the ground.
"Sonic... I don't want to talk about it."
"Tails you're gonna feel much better if you tell someone, It's not good to keep things like that to yourself."
"I can't Sonic, It's too serious."
Tears had started to form in Tail's eyes again, But Sonic was determined to find out the truth.
"Tails what's happened? You used to come to me with all your problems... Please Tails, I need to know."
Tails started to cry again, He had lost count of the number of times he had cried this week.
"I can't t-tell y-you."
"WHY NOT?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HATE ME IF I TELL YOU!"
