"NOOO. PLEASE THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!" The hedgehog screamed.
"I WANT HIM BACK! HE'S MINE, NOT THEIRS! I FOUND HIM! I RAISED HIM. NOT THEM!" He shrieked.
Once again, objects went flying around the house, more pictures were smashed, he swiped his hand out, knocking his side-table over.
"I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE. I CAN'T TAKE IT!"
"I WANTED TO ADOPT HIM. HE'S MINE! AND THEY TOOK HIM AWAY!"
The hedgehog was slowly becoming purple, his vision blurred, heart was beating dangerously fast and pain spread throughout his whole body. He felt extremely unwell but Sonic didn't care, not anymore.
"ARGHHH!" He screamed, lashing out once again, this time he pulled drawers out one by one and threw them. There were four.
The contents went everywhere, all across the room. The place was an absolute pigsty. EVERYTHING now was toppled over or smashed, he no longer had a house, aside from his contents upstairs. He had lost everything.
"I WANT HIM! I NEED HIM!"
Sonic suddenly started ramming his head up against the wall, he kept hitting, harder and harder...
Then, he flipped, he ran around frantically screaming. His whole body crying out in pain. He was so dizzy, could barely see...
"I WON'T LET HIM GO. I WON'T. THEY'RE NOT TAKING HIM!"
The poor hedgehog was having a breakdown. Everything had been taken away from him.
"TAKE THIS!"
And with that, Sonic grabbed the clock off the wall and threw it.
"WHEN I NEXT SEE YOU GRACIE, ROBERT- YOU WILL GET THIS IN YOUR FACE!"
"YOU HEAR ME?!"
Suddenly, Sonic gripped his left arm in a flood of pain. He had never felt such pain in all his life.
"Ughh."
The pain got worse and worse. He felt he was going to lose consciousness again. He needed to go outside, get some fresh air... crippled over, Sonic made his way to the back garden, not caring he was stepping in glass. He just needed air before he collapsed.
Reaching the overgrown garden, Sonic paced around, clutching his left arm tight. He was becoming more and more purple, his chest agonising. He was gasping for breath.
Little did he know, Lucy, his next door neighbour was outside in the garden, after hearing banging, crashing and screaming, wondering what was going on. She kept a close eye on Sonic, watching his crazy behaviour. She was going to approach him in a minute, ask him what was wrong.
"I WANT MY LIFE TO END! I CAN'T CARRY ON WITH THIS TORTURE!" He screamed, not caring who could be listening. He was crying still, completely brokenhearted.
"I WANT MY LITTLE BROTHER BACK. PLEASE, PLEASE..."
Lucy watched in horror. The guy must be having some sort of breakdown over Tails, she thought. She noticed he looked very unwell, was horrified of his painfully skinny image, and his arm clutching was worrying.
Suddenly, Sonic started gasping for breath. Both eyes closed and he winced, and then, he collapsed to the ground, barely conscious, still holding his left arm. And he was giddering around, in such pain.
"Help..." He spoke, as loud as his voice could manage. He was fading. Fast.
"Oh my god. He's having a heart attack!" Lucy said, in panic. Quickly, she left her back garden and hoped, prayed Sonic's back gate was unlocked. It was. She quickly rushed to Sonic's aid.
"Sonic, can you hear me?!"
Lucy shook Sonic gently. His eyes were fluttering, he was completely out of it, and he was oh so painfully purple...
She checked his pulse. His heartbeats were too fast... and irregular. He needing to get to hospital- asap.
Lucy pulled out her mobile and quickly dialed 999.
"Hello? Yes, I would like an ambulance. My next door neighbour is having a heart attack. Address is 16 Station Square Road. Come quickly!"
Sonic had become unconscious, his breathing had become unsteady and slow. She quickly tilted his neck up, to make it easier for him to breath. She checked his pulse, it was faint, but still beating.
The poor guy. He was only 15 years old, too young to die of such an illness. He must've been starving himself, and I never knew about it. Lucy thought.
She needed to contact Tails. He needed to know.
The ambulance had come, to take Sonic to hospital. He was still unconscious. Lucy had agreed not to go along as she had to contact Tails. Sonic needed him- BADLY. She had not been with him long and she could already tell he was crying out for his little brother.
After he had been taken, the tabby cat decided to enter Sonic's house to search for Tails' number. And, the horror. She stepped into the back room and immediately she could tell her neighbour was suffering, really badly... and she didn't know of any of it.
There was glass all over the floor, glass of smashed ornaments and pictures. The house was painfully cold. She continued into the hall, the same painful image. And when she reached the lounge. It was almost too much to take in. Eyes wide, mouth dropping, Lucy couldn't believe what she was seeing. The place was destroyed, almost completely.
She wondered if Sonic was being abused, or attacked. But no, this strange behaviour had started when Tails had left home. She hadn't seen Sonic ever since. He must've been too busy starving himself and destroying his home, Lucy thought.
She quickly noticed the smashed up phone.
"Ah, great. Just what I needed!" Lucy spoke aloud.
She didn't know Tails' number, so she would have to search for it underneath all this rabble.
Everything was all over the floor, destroyed. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack. She needed to search for a diary...
20 minutes later...
"At last!" Lucy cheered. The diary was brown leather, and read 2012 on it. She started to search through. It was full of numbers. Numbers for Doctors, the local Council, shops, you name it.
"Come on, it must be in here!"
And finally, on the second to last page, was Tails' number.
She quickly pulled out her mobile and started dialing out the number with no hesitation. The poor fox, he'd just had Christmas, and was about to be told his brother was ill. She had to word it well.
"Hello?" Tails asked.
"Hi Tails this is Lucy, Sonic's next door neighbour."
THIS had Tails panicking. She wouldn't be phoning for no reason unless something bad had happening to Sonic. His stomach dropped to the floor.
"What's wrong? Is Sonic ok?!" Tails asked, alarmed.
"Tails. I was out in the garden and found Sonic screaming. He was saying he wants his life to end, that he wants his brother back. Then, he collapsed to the floor. Tails, Sonic's had a heart attack, he's on his way to Station Square General Hospital!"
"NOOO!" Tails shrieked.
"It's ok, he's stable. But the poor guy was so thin, and so ill looking. Did you know about this, and that his house is destroyed into a million pieces?"
"No, no, no! This is all my FAULT! I've gotta go, I've gotta be with Sonic!" Tails answered, once again bawling his eyes out.
He hung up the phone.
His brother... his best friend, was having a heart attack. This didn't seem real. He was Sonic The Hedgehog! He didn't get ill! No, this can't be true, he thought.
"He had been suffering, all because of me..."
Tails felt like slicing his throat. The thought of HIM making his brother ill was heartbreakingly umbarable. Sonic was the last person Tails would ever want to hurt. He loved him dearly.
He quickly exited his bedroom, he ran down the stairway, nearly falling from the top step down. His parents were cooking a meal.
"MUM, DAD- SONIC'S HAD A HEART ATTACK! HE'S IN HOSPITAL, I GOTTA GO!" Tails screamed, barely able to control his actions.
"Sweetie, calm down. Don't shout. What's happened?" His Mother asked, as she ran up to her son, embracing him.
"Mum Sonic's dying. And it's all my fault! I told you this whole moving away business was a bad idea! If you hadn't of suggested it Sonic would be ok now!" Tails said, rather harshly.
"Now now, that wouldn't be true." She spoke, rubbing the little fox's back.
Tails pulled away from his Mother.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I WANT TO BE WITH SONIC, NOT HERE! SONIC NEEDS ME AND I'M GOING WITH HIM!"
"Oh no you're not my son, not without me!" Gracie announced.
"WATCH ME!"
And with that, Tails left, top speed.
"TAILS!" His Mother screamed.
"Just leave him to it. He needs to do this alone. He will be back." Robert answered, in a calm tone.
"*sigh* I guess you're right. I hope he'll be ok for when we move in January."
"That is a while off yet. For now, we shouldn't worry." Said Robert.
Station Square was over a hundred miles away, and he was to take the train and head there right away.
Tails was going to join Sonic's side. Be back where he belonged. He was not going to let his brother suffer any longer.
