*~~~~~~Ch 24~~~~*

"Where are we leaving?"
"We're leaving to California."
"Really? Why? I thought you said we were staying in Arizona forever."
"Yeah? Well you thought wrong. This was just a place to relax while I made plans on where we are staying for good. And that place is California."
"But-But why? I don't want to leave. I'm terribly homesick. And now that we're leaving again….I'll die!"
"Oh! Shut up. You're such a drama queen!"
"Leaving again?"
"Yup. I'm going to the airport to buy the airplane tickets. Here." Keith threw the house keys to Amy. She was taken by surprise. Keith always locked Amy inside because he didn't want Amy running away.
"What?"
"Don't worry, you won't be able to runaway. I hired people to watch out for you."
"Then why did you-"
"I want you to pretty yourself up by going out. No go…Shoo!"

Amy quickly ran out and went to the nearest social place. She looked around searching for people who were looking at her. Then she looked down, she didn't want to anymore.

"I'm going to enjoy this weather I like it or not. This will be my last time anyways…"

Amy reached inside her pocket and used her 200 hundred that she had saved. She bought headbands, ice cream, and accessories. Suddenly, she came upon a blue dress with a big blue line in the middle. It came with blue boot and a blue headband. It reminded her of Sonic. She entered the shop and bought it. When Amy got home, she put the dress on and threw away the one Keith gave her.

"Sonic…." Amy looked at the clock. It would only be a matter of hours before they leave. Amy sighed. It was time.

"I love Sonic…I'll always love you…" With that, Amy went to the closet and prepared her suicide.

Sonic, Star, and Shadow finally arrived at Arizona. The hard part now was finding them. As in, what building they were living in. Sonic, for some reason, felt really uneasy…As if something bog was going to happen. He couldn't take the uneasiness and threw up in a bathroom nearby. Shadow followed him.

"What's going on Sonic?'
"It's just that…I feel weird…Something inside of me senses that something terrible is going to happen…Shadow, we need to find Amy. Not tomorrow or the next day. Today."
"Look Sonic, we're not that fast. Star is already tired.'
"Fine then, I'll go find her by myself."

When both came out, they saw Star talking to a person. When Star finished, she explained what they were talking about.

"Guys. I may know where Amy is located."

Keith was one mile away from his place. Instead of teleporting, he walked. It gave him time to think about some things. He looked down while walking. Oh Amy, I finally have you…..My sweet. Sweet Amy. Keith sighed at the thought of it and smiled. All these years of finding searching for you really paid off. Star…My sweet little sister. Why were you with all the luck? Grown ups always wanted her. Even in the beginning. Our parents were fools. They always bought things for her, what about me?! Have they ever thought about me?! No! I was the one that had to keep my feelings inside and suck it up! At least our parents were taught a lesson…..Keith thought angrily. Frustrated and angry from remembering those things, he growled and punched a concrete wall. He made a slight dent. Suddenly felt like he wasn't alone. He looked around. From behind him, he heard a voice.

"I'm going to kill you."

Keith was met by a punch to the face.

"What the…Sonic?!"
"Where is Amy."

Amy grabbed the rope and tied it to a hook attached to the ceiling. She cried silently as she remembered her times with Sonic.

"Bye Sonic…"

She let herself go.
