Chapter 12 : Someone Who I Need

Amy left the Mystic ruins station and quickly headed towards Tails' home, She didn't know what time it was but she guessed it to be around 4am. Tails was once again sitting at the edge of one of the cliffs just outside his home, He looked down at the sharp rocks below the cliff as he let his mind wander.

'Why couldn't I have kept my mouth shut? I was convinced that telling Sonic would be the best thing to do and now look what's happened... I've lost my best friend. I knew this would happen... Sonic will never speak to me again, And he's probably told Amy by now. I doubt she will want to still be friends with me after hearing that, I just wish she didn't have to find out that way. I wish I had told her myself, I know she would throw it back in my face but at least she wouldn't have to hear it from Sonic.'

Tails moved forward so that he was sitting right on the edge of the cliff, Tears ran down his face as he kept looking down at the rocks below.

'What would happen if I was to... Would anyone miss me? Would anyone even care? Knuckles? Shadow? Cream? Amy? ...Sonic?'

"Tails!"

Tails turned around when he heard someone calling his name, He was surprised when he seen Amy rushing towards the place where he was seated.

'What the heck does she want with me at this time?'

"What do you want Amy?"

Amy didn't even need to look at Tails to know that he had been crying all night, The sound of his voice gave it all away. She walked over and sat down next to him, He forced himself not to look at her as she started speaking again.

"I guess you couldn't sleep?"

Tails kept looking out towards the horizon as he shook his head slowly.

"I couldn't either, I missed having my little fox to snuggle up to."

Tails smiled as he turned to face Amy, But his smile quickly changed to a frown.

"Don't do that Amy!"

Amy looked a little confused.

"Don't do what?"

Tails turned away from Amy again.

"Don't act like you care about me."

Amy knew Tails was upset but she couldn't help feeling a little hurt when she heard this, She grabbed Tails' hand bringing his attention back to her.

"I don't need to act Tails because I DO care about you."

Tails suddenly realised that there could be a small chance that Sonic hadn't told Amy yet.

"Haven't you spoken to Sonic since I left his apartment last night?"

"No, I haven't spoken to him since we left the theatre."

Amy felt a little guilty for lying to Tails, But a part of her mind still didn't believe what Sonic had told her. She wanted to hear it for herself, She wanted to hear it directly from Tails. There was a few moments of silence between them, Amy was still trying to think of the best way to go about this.

"So you were at Sonic's apartment last night?"

Tails nodded a little.

"I wasn't there for long... He threw me out."

Amy kept a hold of Tails hand as she put her other arm around his back.

"Why did he do that?"

"Because I told him what had been upsetting me, I told him everything and all he did was laugh at me"

Amy noticed Tails was starting to cry again, She mentally kicked herself for getting him upset again.

"He must hate me now, He's probably never gonna speak to me again."

Amy pulled Tails into a warm embrace, He started to cry on her shoulder.

"You know that's not true Tails, You're Sonic's best friend. I'm sure if you call him tomorrow when he's had some time to think about thi-"

Tails pulled himself away from the hug.

"You weren't there Amy! You didn't see how hurt he was!"

Amy immediately pulled Tails back into her arms, He continued to cry for a little while before starting to speak again.

"I'm sorry Amy, I didn't mean to shout at you. It's just... I really miss him. I've known Sonic longer than anyone, He's the only family I've ever had."

'Sonic you were far too tough on him, He's a complete wreck.'

Tails gently pulled away but kept hold of Amy's hand.

'I wish everything could go back to the way it was, Before we met anyone else, When it was just me and Sonic.'

Tails turned to face Amy, He wished he had never met her and yet he couldn't live without her. He looked back down at the grass, Amy held his hand a little tighter.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm scared Amy... I'm afraid that you're gonna hate me too when you find out what I told Sonic."

Amy paused for a few moments before replying.

"Tails, Look at me."

Tails just kept looking down at the grass, Amy brought her hand up to his cheek and turned his head to face hers. She looked straight into his tearful eyes when she started to speak.

"Tails I promise that I won't ever hate you."

They stayed silent for another little while, Eventually Tails started to speak again.

"Amy?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you stay here with me tonight?"

"Of course I'll stay Tails... On one condition."

"What's that?"

"I get to make the breakfast."

Tails started to giggle a little, Amy smiled at him before they both stood up and headed inside Tails home. It wasn't too long before they were both getting into bed, When Tails turned off the lamp and laid down he was immediately pulled into a warm embrace.

"Amy, Do you really think Sonic will still want to be friends with me?"

"I'm sure he will Tails, You know how stubborn and short tempered Sonic is. As soon as he gets a chance to think things over, He will realise what a big mistake he's made. You should give him a call tomorrow, I bet you he will be more than happy to speak to you."

"I hope you're right Amy, He means a lot to me, I really need him in my life."

Amy kissed Tails cheek before resting her head on his chest.

"Good night Tails."

"Good night Amy."

Tails felt a lot better after his conversation with Amy, He wasn't so worried about things any more.

'Maybe Amy is right, Maybe I just have to wait a little while before i can make-up with Sonic. '

Amy was really happy now, It felt great to be close to Tails again. And she was almost positive that everything was going to turn out all right for them.

And that's it for now, I promise the next update will be much faster than the previous two. Until Then.
