Well, Its the beginning of the festive period and I've just written a new chapter (My life is so interesting.) Enjoy!

Chapter 15 : We're Not all Perfect

Tails slowly made his way out of the elevator and started to walk down the hallway, He wasn't looking forward to this. He didn't expect to be forgiven, He didn't think he deserved to be. In his mind he felt that it was his own fault, His own fault that he had allowed himself to fall in love with Amy. He had cared for her long before Sonic did, He knew there shouldn't be anything to be sorry for. but somehow he still felt as if it was him that caused it all, That if he had just kept quiet about things then everything would be okay right now. He started to remember the last time he spoke to Sonic, How he told him about his feelings for Amy and How he had lost his temper and shouted a lot of things that he didn't really mean.

'Why can't I learn to keep my mouth shout? I knew no good would come from telling Sonic, But I went ahead and told him anyway. And where has it got me? Sonic and Amy are still together, I lost my best friend, Maybe even for good. At least Amy doesn't know how I feel about her, She'd probably be as mad as Sonic. I'd rather have her as a friend than not have her in my life at all, But when I think about all the times ahead of me, Whenever I see them together. I know I'm gonna be wishing it was me there with her, How am I going to manage?'

Tails noticed he was about to start crying again but he quickly brushed his thoughts aside and did his best to smile as he continued down the hallway of Sonic's apartment building.

'And that's something else I haven't figure out. I didn't notice at first, But since last night Amy had completely dropped any attempts to find out what was wrong with me. She hadn't been as persistent as Sonic in the first place but she had been asking me every now and then, But last night when I told her about the argument I had with Sonic she seemed really understanding. But when I told her he threw me out because I had told him what had been upsetting me, Amy didn't even try to figure out what it was. That's not like her, It was as if she already...'

Tails stopped in front of Sonic's front door and hesitated a little before knocking, He looked down at the floor as Sonic opened the door.

"Hey..."

Tails looked up a little but remained silent.

"Come on in."

Sonic walked back into his sitting room, Motioning with his hand for Tails to follow him. Tails slowly placed himself down on the sofa across from the chair Sonic had just sat down in, Then there was a few minutes of silence between them. Sonic was the first to break the silence.

"Wow, This is awkward."

Tails started to speak but he kept himself from making eye contact with Sonic.

"Sonic... I'm sorry, I... I can't help how I feel about someone."

Sonic immediately got up and sat down next to Tails, Tails moved along the sofa a little away from him. He wasn't sure what to expect from Sonic right now.

"Tails, You don't have anything to be sorry for. I shouldn't have been so persistent in trying to find out about it, But when I saw you crying earlier this week... That's something I've not seen for along time, I needed to know what it was. I was worried I had done something to you, And I wasn't far off."

Tails lifted his head a little and turned to face Sonic.

"I thought about a lot of things last night, And I realised how unfair I've been.You were right, I don't deserve her."

"Sonic, I didn't mean that, I was just upset."

"It doesn't matter if you meant it or not, You were still right."

Another few moments went by with neither of them saying a word, Eventually Tails started to speak again.

"When I left here last night, I was worried that you might not speak to me again."

Sonic could tell that Tails was doing his best not to cry, But he kept listening to what he had to say.

"Sonic I... I know what's most important to me now. I know you might not want to be friends with me anymore, But if you do... Then I promise that no matter how hard it gets, I'll never get in the way of your relationship with Amy again."

Sonic had heard enough, He put his arms around Tails and hugged him.

"Hey, Of course I still want to be friends with you."

They remained in each others arms for a few moments, Then Sonic slowly pulled away from him. Tails had a genuine smile on his face, He was happy that he was at least able to salvage his friendship with Sonic. Suddenly something else Tails had said started to sink into Sonic's mind, He didn't understand it at all.

"Tails?"

"Yeah Sonic?"

"What did you mean when you said you'd never get in the way of my relationship with Amy again?"

"I meant exactly what I said, What's wrong?"

"Tails... Me and Amy broke up last night."

"You Did?"

"Yeah, Didn't she tell you?"

Tails had a very confused expression as he shook his head.

"No, That's the first time I heard about it... Wait, How could you have broken up last night If you hadn't spoken to each other since you left the theatre?"

By now Sonic looked even more confused than Tails.

"What do you mean? I invited Amy over here last night just after you left."

"She told me she hadn't spoken to you since you left the theatre... Wait, You didn't tell her why you threw me out did you?"

"Tails... I told her everything."

Tails slowly stood up and paced around the room for a few moments.

"Why didn't she mention any of this to me?"

Sonic remained seated and shrugged his shoulders.

"I thought she did."

"What did she say when you told her? Was she angry? Was she upset? Wait, Why did you two break up?"

Sonic stood up and looked over at Tails who was now staring out the window.

"She wasn't angry or upset, And as for what she said and why we broke up... I think you'd better ask her yourself."

Tails turned to face Sonic.

"What? Why can't you tell me?"

Sonic walked over and placed his hands on the fox's shoulders.

"Trust me, You need to hear this first hand. In fact you really should go and see her about it right now."

Tails just nodded before making his way out the front door. Sonic slowly walked back over to his window, He leaned on the frame as he stared out.

'Man, He's gonna be happy the next time I speak to him. Amy must have wanted us to make up before she told him, That was really decent of her... Me? I've not gained anything but I've not lost anything either... I'll be fine.'

Only one more chapter to go... I'll get writing as soon as I have some spare time. R+R Please!
