Tails kept his arm around Amy as they approached the front door to Amys small apartment. Once inside Tails sat Amy down on the nearby sofa. He looked around for the kitchen. Tails had only been to Amy's place once or twice only to pick up something she had borrowed. Once in the kitchen, Tails found a first aid kit sitting by the sink. He opened it and grabbed a couple of band-aids, then grabbed a paper towel and runned it under some water using the sink.

He walked back to find Amy still sobbing. It had lessened since, but she was still very upset. Tails sat next to her.

"Here" He said calmly.

Amy weakly held out her arm, she was shaking a bit. Tails carefully cleaned the wound with the towel. He then placed two band-aids over the gash in her arm.

"Ok there, Is that better?"

Amy shakily Nodded. Sobbing quietly. Tails wanted more than anything in the world to comfort her. But he thought that it wouldn't be right considering Amy's strong Undying love for Sonic.

"Now tell me exactly what happened" Tails waited patiently for Amy to respond.

Amy collected herself, sighed and began to speak.

"I-I...I went over to his house. I wanted to see If he'd like to spend some time with me or something..." Amys voice faded out.

"And?" Tails asked

"Well all of the sudden he just lashed out at me. Told me he didn't want anything to do with me...and to stay the 'hell out of his life' "

"Oh" Tails quietly said.

"But he's right. I am an annoyance. I should have stopped Trying the first time he said no."

Amy put her head down. Tears were starting again.

"Hey, don't say that. You are an amazing person and-"

Amy quickly Interrupted

"No I'm not! I'm just an annoying stupid hedgehog that makes everybody angry."

Amy put her hands covering her face.

"That is not true in the slightest. You are one of the most fun loving hedgehogs I've ever had the pleasure to know. Sonic didn't mean what he said and I know it. He was just tired or in a bad mood or something. You know how Sonic is sometimes. And even then, I don't think you're annoying at all."

"Really?"

"Yes!" Tails leaned and hugged her. And Amy hugged back.

Amy had regained a small bit of confidence from Tails' words.

"Thanks Tails...you are a great friend."

I just wish we could be more than friends.

"Maybe I'll try talking to sonic again tomorrow.."

"right" Tails defeatedly replied.

Why? He'll just hurt you again. I know it.

Tails stayed with her and chatted until he felt that she was doing well enough to go. And in this time tails only began to love the pink hedgehog even more than he did before.

"Right well it's getting late...I should probably be heading home.."

Amy hesitantly replied

"Oh...right."

Amy had a strange feeling she had never had before. She knew that she had always had a complete and of course undying love for the blue blur. But for some reason she began to think of tails more often than she ever had.

Tails went towards the door.

"I'll talk to you later ok?"

"ok"

Tails went through the door and started his way down the hallway toward the elevator when Amy stuck her head through the doorway.

"Tails!"

"yeah?"

"Um...thanks for fixing my arm..too"

"No problem" Tails smiled.

Amy closed the door and sat down.

"Why did I do that?" She wondered.

Tails walked alone back to his house. It was a lengthy walk so he was alone with his thoughts. He stopped and looked up at the sky.

Will it always be like this? Will she ever give me a chance...

Tails finally reached his home, went inside and locked the door.

"Do you think I was a bit to hard on her?" Sonic asked

Knuckles replied

"Well from what I saw. Yes you went WAY to hard on her"

"What do you mean 'from what you saw' ?"

"I decided to take a walk for a bit and bam. Right there in the middle of the field is Amy and Tails, she was crying her eyes out. I guess tails saw and went to help her."

"Tails?"

Sonic suddenly remembered what he was supposed to do earlier

"Shit I forgot! I was supposed to go over there and...look knuckles I'll call you back"

"Uh, ok then. You do that."

Sonic hung up the phone, and went out the door to find tails.

Tails was sitting at home. Most of the lights were out except for a single lamp he kept by the bed. His small meeting with Amy had only made him more depressed. He thought that even after all that she STILL wanted to try and obtain sonics love. He knew he had no chance with her.

He began to cry for the first time in ages. He said to himself.

"It will never happen. I will stay this way for the rest of time."

Tails looked up and a thought had hit him. A very disturbing thought had come to his mind.

"But I don't have to..."

Tails walked outside his room towards his kitchen. He was never a good cook but always had a collection of various knifes just to make it look like he was a good cook. He took one from the drawer. He looked into his reflection in the steel. He carefully inspected the sharp instrument, preparing his own downfall.

"yeah.." He said to himself in the dark.

"this...this will do.."

He placed the knife towards his wrist and began to make a large cut down the length of his wrist. The blood began to seep a little from the sliver...then more...and more began pouring out of the fox's arm. The pain was almost overwhelming. But he clenched his teeth and continued.

He was about to go further when a knock at the door startled him and made him drop the knife.

"Shit" Tails violently said to himself.

He grabbed a cloth and wrapped it around his arm. In his mind he spoke.

NO no no! I can't do it this way I have to be alone. I'll have to hide this and answer the door somehow.

Tails thinking quickly hobbled over to his bedroom and grabbed a long sleeve shirt, wiped off most of the blood and went over to answer the door. Forgetting the obvious bloody knife on the kitchen floor.

"TAILS? You in there buddy?" sonic called.

What the fuck is he doing here? Tails thought.

He hesitantly opened the door.

"Oh hey, Listen I just stopped by to see how you were doing."

"Ah, um thanks for the concern but really I'm ok, I was just tired today thats all." Tails said sounding rushed with a weak smiled.

"Are you sure? You look Kind of pale..." Sonic noticed tails was trying hard to keep his other arm in front of the door.

"I'm just not feeling well today I guess."

"Well maybe I should come in." Sonic said with a raised eyebrow.

"No, that wont be necessary. I'm fine really!"

Sonic then caught eye of the red and silver object far in the kitchen.

"Uhm...are you sure your sure?" Sonic said squinting

Tails remembered the knife and quickly said

"Yes now please just go"

And with that tails closed the door.

"what the hell was that about?" Sonic said quietly as he walked away from Tails' house.

"Why was he acting like that...?" Suddenly the answer occurred to him.

"Maybe he was angry with what I said to Amy...knuckles said he saw them together. He's probably just upset. I should leave him alone for a bit. He'll get over it. Even if I was kind of harsh."

Sonic walked the rest of the way home feeling satisfied he figured out what was wrong.

Meanwhile Amy was at home laying on her bed face up, staring at the ceiling. Her thoughts were racing with Tails in mind.

Sonics never been so nice to me like tails was...always pushing me away. How is it I've never noticed until now how sweet Tails has been to me. How kind. He didn't have to help me up or take me home or anything. Sonic has never done something that caring for me. How could I be so close minded?

Amy finally sat up and said aloud

"Thats it! I have to go over there!"

Amy got dressed, grabbed a jacket and headed out the door to Tails' house
