Sonic's P.O.V
The others have told me about Amy's desire for space... Even so I've found myself spying on her from a far as she does groceries and am sneaking around the store without her being aware. Gosh if she saw me like this right after her coma she truly would believe I am a stalker. I hide behind a stack of toilet paper once I see she's about to turn to look on the shelves, probably for flour... She has always liked baking and was always amazing at it. As I continue to hide from her I hear the voice of what a certain yellow fox told me yesterday, "Are you sure what you're feeling is just concern?"

'What did he mean that?...' I blink to snap out of my thoughts and shake my head finally back to reality I realised the pink hedgehog was no longer in front of me has disappeared.
"What are you staring at?"
Jumping up slightly I turn to see Amy now behind me.
"A-Ames..."
"It's been a while" she said giving her usual warm and friendly smile, "If I didn't know better I think you're avoiding me... How have you been?"
I can't help but be at a loss of words not knowing what to say as I look at her.
"Strangerrrrrr... hello?" She'd blink cluelessly.
"Sorry yeah I've been ok... Buying groceries?"
"Yup I'm going to make cupcakes today..." She'd continue talking and I can't help but smile from how happy she looked talking about baking, her smile is so bright and wide, her jade eyes seem to be lighting up talking about it also.

Amy's P.O.V
"Anyway... I must be distracting you I'm sure you have better things to do than me rambling so much... Right?"
He'd just continue to smile sweetly to me.
I pause when he doesn't agree, "Would you like to join me?"

Sonic's P.O.V
"Huh?"
"I said would you like to help me make cupcakes? Only if you're not busy, of course- it could be fun, I don't know if you like baking though..."
I should be saying no, I should be running off but for some reason I say, "yeah ok."
She'd give a warm bubbly smile, "okay let me just buy the rest of my groceries..." The pink hedgehog would then look at her pink paper with the list of things she needed to buy.

Amy's P.O.V
It's now 10am and I don't know why but Sonic seems tense... I don't think he's usually like this. Although I don't have memories of him before my coma, after my coma he's never seemed like the serious type. He's being really quiet right now as I'm opening the flour and he watches me. He asks me what else I need before getting the ingredients out of the cupboard.
As he puts the eggs, sugar and other ingredients beside the mixing bowl I get a better view of his face... He looks like he's thinking... Really thinking... Like about something serious...

Sonic's P.O.V
What am I doing here?... She could have another breakdown, I have a chance to protect her from getting hurt from me again, suddenly there's a poof of white flour that hits my face and the pink hedgehog giggled, "oh I see how it is!" I smirk and throw some flour back at her. She laughs again and throws more flour at me and she ends up dropping the rest of the eggs not used on the floor and as she goes to throw more flour at me she slips and I rush over to catch her. I support her back with my right hand. I can't help but smile as I watch her giggle more and feel my cheeks heat up as I use my other hand to move her quills from her eyes.

"That's more like it you were wayyyy too serious earlier"
"Pft- so you decided to throw flour at me?" I laugh.
"Well now if a robber tries to come in we'll look like ghosts and scare him off" She would joke.
"You're so silly," I roll my eyes.
"Not going to lie I feel like I'm going to sneeze from all the flour though."
I can't help but laugh more,"allow me, fair lady." I wipe off the flour from her nose and begin wiping it off her cheek also and can't help but glance at her eyes momentarily before smiling nervously and quickly looking away, she just smiles though- she's sweet. Always has been.

She then stands up properly and just looks at me more but when I finally gather the courage to look at her again I see her eyes glistening with tears as they quickly run down her face, "A-Ames..." I stutter out.
"S-sorry... This hasn't happened in a while," she begins to sob harder. She attempts to rub the tears away with her hands, by doing this she puts more flour on her face but the uncontrollable tears wash them away.

I freak out and before I know it I'm running out of her house. I run. I run. I run. As fast as legs can carry me. I don't stop. I keep going. I run into my house. I don't look back. I slam the door behind me. Quickly covering my face and slide my back against my door. I should have just stayed away.
