Chapter 13 : Don't Worry About The Future...

Sonic walked out of the elevator and headed down the hallway to his front door, He was just back from his usual morning run. He unlocked the door and headed inside, Closing it behind him. All morning Sonic had been trying to keep himself busy, Spending a few hours running would always clear his mind and help him forget about his troubles. But this time nothing was working, He just couldn't stop thinking about the events of the day before. He walked to his kitchen and removed a glass from a nearby shelf, After filling it with water Sonic headed into main room of his apartment. He slumped down on the sofa and flicked his television on. It wasn't long before Sonic's mind started to wander again, He sipped the cool water from the glass and leaned back into a more comfortable position on the sofa.

'I wonder what they're doing right now... I can imagine how pleased Tails must have been when Amy told him. I still can't believe after all those years that Amy could just turn around and tell me she doesn't really love me, I had really warmed up to the idea of me and Amy together. I should have realised sooner, I need to speak to her, I need to tell her I'm sorry. I know it's pretty unlikely, But maybe... Just maybe she really does love me.'

Sonic reached over and lifted his telephone, He dialled Amy's cel number and waited. After a few moments he heard the recorded message telling him that her phone was switched off. Sonic hesitated for a few moments before dialling Tails' number.

'Please let it be Amy who picks the phone up'

Tails was enjoying a peaceful sleep wrapped up in Amy's embrace, After a little while his eyes slowly opened. He sighed contently, It was great to hold Amy so close to him. He knew she was Sonic's girlfriend but he quickly pushed the thoughts out of his mind, This was a happy moment and he wasn't going to let himself spoil it. He lay there for another little while before the phone started to ring, He slowly pulled away from Amy and reached over to pick up the phone. Before he could reach the phone he was pulled back by Amy's hand on his shoulder, He turned and smiled at her.

"Just leave it."

Tails nodded as Amy rested her head down on his chest.

"Okay."

Amy tilted her head upwards a little so she could look into Tails eyes, He looked back with a smile and a curious expression.

'I can't wait to tell you.'

Sonic hung the phone up and leaned back into his sofa again.

'No answer? Its still early so they wouldn't be out, They must be at Amy's apartment. I should go over there and speak to her, But what about Tails? I'll have to figure out a way to speak to Amy by herself, I just hope Tails doesn't get in the way.'

Sonic decided it would be the best thing to do so he quickly made his way out his apartment and into the elevator, After leaving the building Sonic ran to Amy's apartment a few miles away. He arrived less than a minute later, He made his way up the stairs to Amy's front door.

'Please Amy, Just give me a chance to explain...'

Sonic knocked on the door and held his breath. He hoped Tails wouldn't answer the door, He wouldn't know what to say if that happened. A few moments later there was still no answer, Sonic started to get a little impatient.

'Where are you Amy?'

He was about to leave but before he went he placed his hand on the door handle and gave it a turn. To his surprise, It opened. He slowly walked into Amy's apartment and had a look around, He noticed that the key was still in the lock. He checked a few of the rooms and quickly realised there wasn't anyone home. He walked to check the last room, Amy's bedroom, He walked inside and examined the room. The bed wasn't made, There was a few clothes and other items scattered around the floor.

'Boy, She sure left here in a hurry. She even forgot to lock the door, It's not like Amy to be so careless.'

Sonic was about to turn and leave, But then something caught his eye. He walked over and picked up the framed photo from the bed, He found himself looking upon a very familiar scene.

Flashback Begins

"Okay guys, Smile!"

Sonic pressed the button on the top of the camera to shoot the photo, There was a quick flash before Sonic lowered the camera again. Amy lifted her head from Tails' shoulder and removed her arms from around his stomach. She placed a kiss on his cheek and smiled.

"Happy birthday Tails!"

"Was it you two who organised all this?"

Sonic walked forward a little, nodding his head.

"Yep, Just for you buddy."

"Thanks a lot! This is great, All our friends are here."

Amy started to laugh a little before putting her hand on Sonic's shoulder.

"Well almost all of them, We invited Shadow but he said he had better things to do."

Tails just shrugged his shoulders,

"I'm not gonna complain about that."

Tails jumped a little when he was given a smack on the back, He turned to see a familiar face.

"Hey, Nine now huh? Not long before you hit the big two digits. Happy birthday Tails!"

Tails just smiled, He didn't know what else to do. He didn't really feel worthy of all this attention.

"Thanks Knux,"

Knuckles grinned before heading to main room with the other guests. It wasn't long before there was some music switched on, Everyone who was there was having a great time. A few hours later Sonic was sitting on the sofa talking to Tails when a slower song started to play, Tails laughed a little when Amy literally dragged Sonic from sofa.

"Come on Sonic, Just one dance!"

Sonic groaned a little before giving in.

"Fine."

Amy had a huge smile on her face as she danced with Sonic in the centre of the room, Sonic's eyes widened when they backed into another dancing couple. Knuckles and Rouge.

"Hey look, They-"

Sonic was silenced suddenly when Amy pressed her lips against his, He immediately shoved her away with a little too much strength. Amy fell onto her back before bursting into tears and running out the building. Nobody really thought much of what had just happened, They were all used to seeing Amy getting rejected by Sonic. Sonic slumped back down on the sofa, He had a quick look and realised someone else was missing.

"Hey where did Tails go?"

Knuckles turned from rouge and shouted over at Sonic,

"Didn't you see him? He just ran out after Amy."

Sonic just nodded, He didn't give it a second thought.

"Oh okay."

Flashback Ends

Sonic lay on his back on Amy's bed, His eyes filled with tears as he remembered the day.

'He was right... Amy never got over that so fast on her own... Tails was always there to pick up the pieces... Amy cared about me, And time and time again I threw it back in her face... But she never gave up, I've already had hundreds of chances... Why should I deserve another? He was right... I don't deserve her... Tails... I'm sorry.'

And thats it for now, Hope you enjoyed reading it. If you did, Tell me!

Til next time
