Chapter 11 : At Least I Know

Sonic was seated on a chair staring out the window, He still couldn't believe what had just happened.

'Does Tails really feel that way about Amy? Does he really love her? Has he been in love with her all that time? Does Amy know about it? No, Of course she doesn't. But how would she react if she knew? Would she tell him that there could never be anything between them? Would she still be friends with him after telling him? Wait, Why hasn't he told her? If he really felt that way about her all that time then why didn't he tell her? I guess he realised how hopeless it was, They were always best friends but they are hardly a match.'

Sonic picked up the phone and dialled Amy's cel phone number, He heard her voice after a few rings.

"Hello?"

"Amy, It's me. Where are you right now?"

"I'm on a train heading back to Station square, Anyway who was at the door?"

"Well... It was Tails."

"Really? How is he? Is he alright? Is he still upset? What did he leave just like that for? Can I talk to him?"

"Erm... He's not here any more."

"What? Where is he then?"

"Amy could you just come over and see me when you get back?"

"Er.. Ok, Why?"

"I need to speak to you about something."

"What is it?"

"I found out what it was that got Tails so upset."

"Really? What was it then?"

"It's a bit complicated, Just get over here and I'll explain."

"Alright then Sonic, Bye."

"Bye hun."

Sonic placed the receiver back down and went back to looking out his window, Tails words were still echoing in his mind. A while later he was still going over his thoughts, But he was interrupted when he heard a loud knock at his door. Sonic got up and walked over to open the door, Amy walked into his apartment and sat down on the sofa with him. Sonic noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind.

"Sonic there's also something i need to speak to you about, But we can talk about it later. So what happened when Tails came over to see you? And why did he just leave so suddenly like that?"

"He left because he saw us kissing,"

"Huh? Why would he leave because of that? And that guy in the cinema said he was crying when he left."

"Yeah that's right, He was crying because he was jealous of the two of us, That's what he has been so upset about the whole time."

Amy had a confused look on her face as she listened to Sonic.

"What do you mean? Why would he be jealous of us?"

"I mean the way we are with each other, You know? Boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I still don't get what it is that you're saying Sonic."

Sonic exhaled sharply before continuing

"Amy, What I'm sayin-"

Sonic was interrupted when his phone started to ring, He reached over and picked it up.

"Hello?"

There was silence for a few moments before Sonic heard a reply.

"S-... S-Sonic?"

Upon recognising the voice Sonic simply hung up. He didn't want to speak to Tails right now, He never wanted to speak to Tails ever again.

"Who was that?"

"Erm... It was just someone who dialled the wrong number."

"Oh ok, So what were you saying before?"

"Well he told me he really likes you, As in likes you more then just a friend."

Amy's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Really Sonic? He said that?"

"Yeah, At first I didn't believe him, But then he suddenly got angry at me. He started shouting about how much he loves you, And how I don't deserve to be with you after the way I've treated you in the past."

Amy looked down at her feet, Sonic leaned down a little so he could see her but she turned to face the other way.

"Amy? What's wrong?"

"He... He really feels that way about me? He really... Loves me?"

"Yeah, That's what he said. I wouldn't worry about it though, He doesn't even know what love is. So anyway I-"

Sonic stopped talking when he heard a few sniffles from Amy, He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Amy? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Amy wiped her eyes and turned back to face Sonic.

"Sonic... You're wrong, It's me who doesn't know what love is."

Sonic reached for Amy's hand but she pulled it away.

"Of course you know what love is, You love me don't you?"

A tear made it's way down Amy's face as she continued.

"I thought I did..."

Sonic's eyes widened with fear.

"What do you mean?"

"Sonic the feelings I've always had for you are still there, You're still very important to me."

Sonic looked deep into Amy's eyes as she kept speaking.

"But when I first started to have these feelings for you Sonic, I assumed I was in love with you... But now I know I was wrong."

Amy felt guilty when she saw the hurt expression on Sonic's face, But she knew this was the truth.

Sonic was heartbroken by Amy's words, Tears welled up in his eyes but he let none of them escape.

"So you never did... love me?"

Amy closed her eyes and shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry Sonic."

"But how do you know? Why now?"

Amy cringed, She knew the answer. She still hadn't managed to admit it to herself yet, Let alone Sonic. She looked into his tearful eyes, He looked straight back waiting for an answer.

"Because I think I'm in love with someone else..."

Sonic couldn't take any more, A tear left his eye and he let out a sniffle. He knew who this "someone else" was, There was only one other guy she spent lots of time with. They both stayed seated next to each other in silence for a little while, Eventaully Amy built up the courage to ask something.

"Sonic are we... still friends?"

Sonic didn't answer, He simply stood up and wandered off in the direction of his bedroom. He just wanted Amy to leave, He needed some time to himself. After a few minutes he heard his front door open and close as Amy left the apartment.

'How could this happen? After all those years of chasing me around and telling me how much she loved me, How can just turn around and say that it was all lies?'

Sonic laid on his bed and started to think about the events of the past few days, He almost laughed as he realised how much sense things made.

'He was upset that day when Amy told him I had started dating her, He ran out the cinema because he seen us kissing. It's so simple, Why didn't I figure this out earlier? This has turned into such a mess, Nothing good is going to come from this. Amy thinks she's in love with him, But she's only going to get hurt when Tails realises that he doesn't really feel that way about her. Dammit, Why did I tell her what Tails said to me earlier? It obviously shocked her a little, Maybe she didn't really mean what she said...'

Later, In Amy's Apartment.

Amy had been laying awake in bed for hours, She was trying to fall asleep but she just had too much on her mind. When she turned over for what felt like the twentieth time she found herself involuntarily reaching for someone who wasn't there, Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered his name out loud.

'Why do I miss him so much? Why does it hurt so bad to be away from him? Tails... I've been so confused about my feelings for you this week, But now I think I'm starting to understand.'

Amy let a few tears go as she hugged her pillow.

'Did Tails really say that to Sonic? Did he really tell Sonic he loves me? I need to find out, I need to know how he feels about me. First thing tomorrow, I'm going to see him. I wonder what he's doing right now, I still haven't heard from him since he left the theatre. Why didn't I call him earlier? It's a little too late now, Its nearly 3.00am He's probably asleep. Hmm, I never asked Sonic what happened after Tails was done shouting at him, Sonic has a bit of a short temper so I can imagine he would have thrown him out. I hope he wasn't too upset, I'm sure he was just angry and didn't really mean to shout at Sonic.'

Amy stayed in bed for a while longer before realising that she just wasn't going to fall asleep, She climbed out of bed and started to get dressed. She left her apartment in a hurry, Making her way through the deserted streets to the station. There were only a few trains in operation at this time, Amy was lucky and boarded the train bound for the mystic ruins. She took a seat and looked out the window as the train pulled out of the station.

'I know he will probably be asleep right now but I just can't wait until morning, Even if I have to wait outside his house all night I'll feel better knowing he's nearby.'

She closed her eyes as she thought of how good it would be if Tails really did feel that way about her.

'I hope Tails really did mean what he said to Sonic, It would be great if he loved me too...'

Amy nodded her head a little and smiled.

'If he loved me too? So do I love him them? Do I love Tails... Yes!'

Amy laughed to herself, She was glad that she was at least sure about one thing.

'I love you Tails'

Telling herself is one thing, Telling Tails is another. Next chapter up in a few days (really). Thanks for reading!
